PS3
Keep one save before the ending and another midway through the story. One protects the run with fewer than twenty rewinds; the other leaves you free to use the dagger until you reach the separate two hundred requirement. Collect sand clouds and fountains during the story.
The PS3 HD edition of the 2003 game has 16 offline trophies, including when played as part of the HD Trilogy. The cancelled remake is a separate project.
- Sand clouds: 48, collect them on one route
- Hidden fountains: 10, drink from each
- Difficulty: No difficulty setting required
Prepare your saves
Start the story and, once you have the Dagger of Time, only rewind when it will actually save the attempt. Keep several manual saves and tally your rewinds. If a section burns through your allowance, return to an earlier file rather than carrying that mistake to the end.
- For Game Master, stay at nineteen recorded rewinds or fewer.
Find the ten fountains
At save points, investigate side paths before moving on. The first fountain follows “Had I really seen her?” and the last follows “Farah, come back!”. Drinking boosts health, so early fountains also help in fights. If you reach the last one with a gap, go back to a save before the missed room.
- Count ten drinks; finding a hidden entrance is not enough.
Track the sand clouds
The 48 clouds are separate from the sand refills you get from enemies. Clear combat rooms, then check their edges before using a door or lever. Keep a save at area transitions: the story often closes the route behind you, and missing a cloud halfway through can cost you many chapters.
- Mark clouds as you pick them up and preserve a save before the elevator.
Finish the low rewind run
Keep attackers away from Farah in crowded fights and finish downed enemies by extracting their sand. Check your count before reaching the Vizier. Finish the story on the careful file, then preserve it while working through whatever cumulative requirements remain.
- Check for Game Master and both collection trophies at the ending.
Use the midpoint save for 200 rewinds
Load a save with several tanks and nearby enemy groups. Use short rewinds, then replenish sand with the dagger on defeated enemies. Keep progressing on that branch to build the counter; if the ten-hour trophy is still missing, check playtime while you finish the remaining work.
- Do not use this branch for your low rewind ending.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to finish twice?
No. Finish once, then resume from a middle save to use sand more freely.
Do I need the full trilogy?
No. The standalone HD chapter has its own platinum. The Trilogy disc includes this chapter with its own list.
Does the remake use these trophies?
No. Ubisoft ended development of that project in 2026. This covers only the PS3 HD classic released in 2010.
