Patapon 3: PS4 and PS5 Platinum Trophy Guide

Patapon 3

PS4 / PS5

Split the work between the story and targeted challenges. The campaign awards the rival and boss trophies, while rhythm, treasure, and equipment requirements need dedicated attempts. Shop at Meden when the opportunity comes up and rotate classes in easier missions. Leave the tight constraints for separate cleanup runs: one summon score, a dungeon without a summon, and a victory with basic ice weapons only.

Training, CPU duels, dungeon objectives, and class and equipment milestones.

  • Original edition: PSP (2011); the original handheld has no PlayStation trophies.
  • Trophy sets: 40 trophies in each native PS4 and PS5 set.
  • Duels: The campaign rivals are controlled by the game; no online opponent is needed.
  • Summon: Score 100,000,000 in a single summon.

Start with the three training challenges

Do Defense Practice, collect every chest in Attack and Dodge Practice, and repeat March and Jump Practice until you reach 500 Patapon of distance. Distance matters more than the number of inputs in the last challenge: keep the march steady and save the jump command for obstacles. Pick up the Patapon Song when it becomes available as well.

  • Check all three practice trophies in the list before moving on to a regular quest.

Follow the story duels through Arch Pandara

The story alternates Dark Hero duels, starting with Madfang Ragewolf, and fights against bosses such as Dodonga and Gaeen. Set up a duel attempt specifically to capture the opposing flag; winning a story duel is not a substitute for that objective. Clear the Tomb of Tolerance to face Arch Pandara and keep a save for the dungeon challenges.

  • Replay at least one duel and one dungeon for the two dedicated trophies.

Return to dungeons with one goal at a time

Track the Castle of Justice dance, the timed second floor of the Estate of Earnestness, the pause in the Labyrinth of Restraint, and the Tomb of Tolerance trap. Replay the timed floor with a squad you already know. Reserve a dungeon you can already finish for the no-summon attempt so two trophy restrictions do not get mixed together.

  • Also schedule a fight against a boss spotted by Sukopon.

Pair chest and shopping goals with class development

Open chests as you progress toward 100, keeping a separate count of the five jeweled ones. Buy from Meden on ten post-quest visits and upgrade the blacksmith to level 3. Track the twelve classes you complete quests with, but focus experience on one unit for level 30. For the skill objective, equip five skills on that same unit.

  • Keep basic ice weapons for Blizzard Tower and the Bonedeth Brigade.

Separate Fever, nine commands, and summon score

Pick a simple mission outside the training grounds: clear it once without Fever and return for a run in which you perform all nine commands. Accept Yarigami’s Sutra and reserve a run for the score. When the Fever gauge is gold and the summon scroll flashes, use Don Do-Don Do-Don (×, ××, ××). Match the note lengths shown during the challenge: tap short notes and hold the button for long ones. Check the score for that single summon.

  • Summon target: 100 million in one attempt.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to play against other people?

No. The required duels are campaign battles and you can complete the flag and replay objectives against the game.

Do the nine commands count in training?

No. Perform them all in one regular quest and finish it. Use a separate run for the no-Fever trophy so you can focus on command timing.

Do summon scores accumulate?

No. Groove Master takes 100 million in one summon. Chest and Meden purchase totals are separate targets you can spread across the campaign.
