Rogue Legacy Platinum Guide (Vita, PS3, PS4)

PS Vita / PS3 / PS4

Plan Rogue Legacy around two files. The main one is for upgrades, blueprints and remix bosses; the other is for Thanatophobia. Explore and experiment on the main file. On the other, optional rooms cost time and health you need for the bosses. Decide which objective you are working on before entering.

Shared Western list for the original Rogue Legacy on PS3, PS Vita and PS4. This route is separate from Rogue Legacy 2.

List trophies: 30 including platinum
Clears: Two for Geminiphobia
Thanatophobia: 15 deaths or fewer, no Architect

Learn the four areas on your main file

Start in the castle and move to harder areas when your health and damage can handle them. If a run is too weak for a boss, collect gold and try another heir. On a promising run, learn which attack leaves the boss open and use that window rather than trading hits.

Learn all four bosses before attempting the limited-death clear.

Open chests for runes and blueprints

Read a Fairy Chest's condition before moving. A room that forbids damage calls for a different route than one that forbids fighting. Seek minibosses and gold chests for blueprints as well. Check the Blacksmith and Enchantress to separate what you have found from what is still missing.

You do not have to purchase every blueprint or rune you have found.

Clear New Game+ and keep hunting the Dark set

After the first ending, enter New Game+ for the second clear. Use its chests to find higher-tier blueprints and track missing Dark pieces. If they do not appear, keep exploring on later cycles rather than repeating the first cycle's rooms. Keep this file for all collection cleanup.

Keep advanced gear hunting off your Thanatophobia file.

Unlock the Traitor through remix bosses

Find obols at shrines and hand them to Charon to open remix fights. The fights assign a specific character, so learn that character's moves before trying to win. After the four remixes, take the Traitor's Obol and face the brothers. Once the Traitor class opens, use it to enter the final boss room.

Katagelasticism unlocks when the Traitor enters the final boss room.

Use a fresh file for Thanatophobia

Start with an empty slot and never use the Architect. Keep a manual death count and head to bosses once your heir is ready; opening every room increases the risk. Spend gold on upgrades that help in your next fight. If you exceed 15 deaths, try again on another fresh file.

Do not use New Game+ for the limited-death attempt.

Trophies to watch

Disposophobia

Find all blueprints (purchase not necessary).

Look for higher-tier blueprints in later cycles. You need to find them, not buy them.

Geminiphobia

Beat the game… twice.

Continue on your main file in New Game+ for the second ending.

Katagelasticism

Mock the traitor.

Beat all five remixes, pick the Traitor class and enter the final room.

Thanatophobia

WITHOUT using the Architect, complete the game dying 15 times or less

Start from an empty slot, avoid the Architect and stay at 15 deaths or fewer.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the Architect on my first file?

Yes, if that file is for collecting and practice. Use a fresh one for Thanatophobia and never let him lock down that castle.

Why doesn't my own gear help against remix bosses?

Those fights use a prescribed character. Practise that character's moves rather than spending gold expecting to change their gear.

Do I have to defeat the final boss as the Traitor?

No. Enter the boss room as that class for Katagelasticism; winning the fight is not part of the requirement.
