PS3
Use the first run to clear Legend and record Nightmare Box reactions. Raise weapons to level five while visiting planets, then use Challenge Mode to buy the Omega upgrades and reach six. On Thram, track the vault separately from gold bolts and check its markers before leaving.
Released on PS3, 23 trophies. The European title is also listed as Ratchet & Clank: Nexus.
- Difficulty: Complete the campaign on Legend.
- Challenge Mode: Needed to unlock Omega weapons and reach level 6.
- Online: No online trophies.
Start on Legend and spread weapon XP
Set Legend before starting and keep that difficulty throughout the campaign. Use cover and gravity traversal to leave an escape route in early arenas. Once a weapon reaches level five, rotate in the next one against easy targets. Keep your strongest options for bosses and groups you cannot split apart.
- Finish the story before changing difficulty or starting Challenge Mode.
Try the Nightmare Box on each new enemy type
Once you buy the Nightmare Box, use it before killing a new enemy type. Place it near the group and wait for a fear reaction before firing something else. Keep a note of which enemies reacted and use the second campaign to catch any type you missed.
- Check creatures that appear only once in an area.
Win the arena cups and replay Pest Control
Return to Destructapalooza for its Bronze, Silver and Gold cups. Use the normal challenges to level your gear, then enter Pest Control as a separate attempt. Its trophy calls for the wrench alone, so do not fire or deploy another offensive gadget. Move between groups to create room instead of standing in the middle.
- Check both Thug Champion and Exterminator.
Open the vault and finish the side routes
On Thram, talk to the Smuggler and follow the vault key collection. The reward matters for the RYNO plans, while gold bolts have a separate counter; opening the vault does not finish Gold Rush. When revisiting planets, clear the remaining Netherverse routes and collect the marked rewards.
- Open the vault before treating the arsenal as complete.
Buy the Omegas and reach level six
Start Challenge Mode from the completed story. After getting a weapon to five, purchase its Omega version from the vendor and use it until it reaches six. Protect your bolt multiplier to fund the remaining weapons and armor. Do not stop after shopping: the second ending is required too.
- Check every weapon level in the menu before the boss.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a PS Vita platinum?
The retail and digital release is on PS3. The Vita project is not a released route for earning these trophies.
How do I unlock level 6?
Reach level five and buy the corresponding Omega weapon in Challenge Mode. It can then gain experience toward six.
Can I skip the cups?
No. The three Destructapalooza cups have their own trophies, and the wrench-only Pest Control clear is a separate goal.
