PS4
The platinum targets are 100 golden spatulas and 80 socks, plus combat and area objectives. Do not look for all the socks in the town; they are scattered across levels too. Hand them to Patrick as you go and record the trades so you can distinguish character rewards from the spatulas earned in levels.
PS4 edition with 33 trophies. It runs on PS5 via backward compatibility without a second native list.
- Golden spatulas: 100.
- Socks: 80.
- Modes: Offline campaign; horde mode optional.
Unlock areas with the first spatulas
Start with the tutorial at home and use your first spatulas to open areas of Bikini Bottom. Work on nearby quests while learning to switch characters. Mark each level’s finished objectives on the map and postpone anything that needs a distant switch point or an ability you have not obtained.
- Use the level map when you cannot remember which spatula you left behind.
Fight with all three characters
Use the sections where you play as Patrick or Sandy to attack robots on your route. Track defeats by character: getting a hundred as SpongeBob does not raise the other two counters. Defeat the less common robot types too. Check the police station’s record to see which one is missing.
- Check the three 100-kill trophies and Robot encyclopedia separately.
Finish Patrick’s and Mr. Krabs’ trades
Look for socks in Bikini Bottom’s rooms and in detours through levels you already visited. Patrick trades one spatula for each ten socks, up to eight. Save shiny objects for Mr. Krabs too: the trade cost rises, so check what you still owe him when you return to town.
- Track each character’s eight trades separately from spatulas found in stages.
Finish each area’s distinctive quests
Some trophies ask you to finish a particular area quest: clear every ski slope in Sand Mountain, find the campers in Kelp Forest and reclaim the ship in the Flying Dutchman’s Graveyard. If one objective is missing, travel to that section and check its side routes instead of replaying from the entrance.
- Check each area’s list just after claiming its quest reward.
Finish at the lab and check both collections
Reach the Chum Bucket lab and finish the finale once it is available. Then compare the spatula total with your trade record and level summaries. If the spatula counter is full, still check for all 80 socks: the platinum asks for both, and one total is not a substitute for the other.
- Check Sock Opera, Super Ultra Mega Spatula Seeker and 100% SpongeBob.
