Tomb Raider: Legend Platinum Guide (PS3, PS4, PS5)

PS3 / PS4 / PS5

Split the Legend platinum into a story run on Tomb Raider difficulty and targeted replays. Pick up any rewards you come across during the story without dragging out the tougher fights. After the ending, keep Time Trials separate from revisits for collectibles and special actions.

The 2011 PS3 HD Trilogy and 2024 PS4 and PS5 rereleases each have 42 trophies. The main requirements match. Check your list for names and small wording differences.

Lists: 42 trophies per list on PS3, PS4 and PS5.
Story: Clear Tomb Raider difficulty for The Hard Way.
Cleanup: Levels can be replayed. The platinum is offline.

Finish the story on Tomb Raider difficulty

Select Tomb Raider difficulty before starting and keep it through the ending. Use cover in mercenary fights and save medkits for encounters where retreat is not an option. Leave objectives that require an unusual weapon or condition for level replay so they do not slow down your story run.

After the ending, check The Hard Way and make sure Time Trials have appeared.

Collect rewards by level and visit Croft Manor

Check how many bronze, silver and gold rewards are missing from each level before reopening it. Remember Croft Manor: it has rewards of its own, and some routes get easier once you have Lara’s equipment. Outfits depend on rewards and completed conditions, so check the wardrobe after finishing the level totals.

Track the manor rewards and any locked Lara outfits separately.

Use short replays for special trophies

In Peru, take the football to the church doorway in the opening area. In Tokyo, pick up an enemy weapon to avoid the dual pistols for Superior Firepower. In Ghana, wait more than five minutes against Rutland before finishing him. Do that in a normal replay, where the wait will not cost your Time Trial.

Check each action after its scene and replay the correct level if the trophy is missing.

Wait for the double target in Peru

On the Peru motorcycle after the burning bridge, wait until two mercenaries approach the same tank. Avoid killing one with gunfire before the explosion: both defeats must come from a single tank. If an attempt fails, retry the sequence and adjust your timing instead of spreading out the enemies.

Verify Biggest Bang for the Buck before leaving the motorcycle cleanup.

Run the Time Trials once you know the route

Start Time Trial from level select. Follow the routes you learned in the story, skip collectible detours and use checkpoints to find your rhythm after a mistake. After the seven trials with individual trophies, check Bolivia Redux as well. It has a 4:15 limit and counts towards the overall trophy.

Check all eight recorded times before hunting the final missing outfit.

Frequently asked questions

Does PS3 have the same trophies as the rereleases?

All three have 42 trophies. The main objectives match; for example, Peru’s football trophy describes the church door on PS3 and scoring a goal on PS4 and PS5.

Does Croft Manor count towards the platinum?

Yes. Check the manor rewards as part of the bronze, silver and gold collections.

Can I clean up after the ending?

Yes. Use level select for special actions and Time Trial mode for the times. Keep the story on Tomb Raider difficulty throughout the run that counts for The Hard Way.
