Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands platinum guide for PS3

PS3

Do not leave the sarcophagi and no-damage victories until after the ending: there is no free chapter select. Develop Stone Armor before Ratash and use checkpoints before a cutscene closes the fight. After the story, Enemy Tides remains as a solo challenge in the main menu.

Native 2010 PS3 list: 41 offline trophies. The PSP, Wii and other handheld versions play differently and are outside this guide.

Collectibles: Break 21 sarcophagi during the campaign.
Bosses: The two no-damage Ratash fights have separate requirements.
Final challenge: Enemy Tides unlocks after the ending and has eight waves.

Track sarcophagi before one-way transitions

As you cross the palace, look for the blue shimmer that signals a nearby sarcophagus. Check beyond the route the camera points to and follow side passages before one-way drops. Reach each sarcophagus and break it with a charged slash: seeing it does not register it. Record its number and location so you know where to look if a replay is needed.

Compare all 21 sarcophagi with your checklist before taking the route to the ending.

Alternate two water jets for Stay Dry

When you learn to solidify water, use a spot with two nearby jets before moving on. Jump toward the first and freeze it to grab on. Release the power while travelling toward the other to recover some charge, then reactivate it before grabbing. Keep switching for a minute without landing or using the Power of Time; a single hold drains the meter before the target.

Restart the attempt if you land, fall or rewind time.

Earn Untouchable in the Throne Room

Invest in Stone Armor early and preserve energy for Ratash. The first no-damage check is in the Throne Room. Wait out his attack, roll out of its path and strike during openings. Use armor before phases you are less familiar with. If health drops, reload the checkpoint before the victory registers. Do not rely on rewind to erase a hit.

Confirm Untouchable before continuing the story.

Earn Invincible in the final fight

Treat the second trophy as a new test. Clear minor enemies without exposing yourself and save energy for the riskiest part of the fight. Read Ratash’s sweeps and overhead strikes so you can dodge in time; use Stone Armor when there is little room for error. If you take damage, retry from the checkpoint before landing the finishing hit. Untouchable does not cover Invincible.

Check that the trophy unlocked before leaving the ending save.

Clear eight waves and finish purchases

Choose Enemy Tides from the main menu after finishing the campaign. Move fights into open space when enemies bunch up, prioritize flying foes if they interrupt your attacks and preserve energy for the later waves. Finish all eight waves for Prince of Tides. Check Completist separately: every upgrade menu entry must be bought, not just the defensive power used against Ratash.

Check the Enemy Tides clear and every upgrade tree entry separately.

Frequently asked questions

Is this platinum on the PSP version?

No. This is the PS3 list. The PSP game with the same subtitle does not use it.

Can I choose a chapter to recover a sarcophagus?

There is no chapter select. If your checkpoint is too far ahead, plan to recover it on another run.

Does Enemy Tides need online access?

No. It opens from the menu after the story and is an offline solo challenge.
