PS4
The PS4 version of Uncharted 1 in The Nathan Drake Collection has its own platinum and a single-player route. Crushing difficulty, treasures and three timed chapter runs form the core hunt. Brutal difficulty and the continuous speedrun belong to the Extended Collection trophies instead. Separate those groups from the start so a platinum target does not accidentally become a demand for one hundred percent of the full trophy list.
PS4 remaster in The Nathan Drake Collection. This does not cover the original PS3 list; Extended Collection is separate.
- Required difficulty: Crushing is required; Brutal belongs to the additional group.
- Missable trophies: Chapter selection supports treasure and action cleanup.
- Online: The PS4 remaster platinum does not require multiplayer.
Prepare for the plane wreck and flooded room
Chapter 4’s plane-wreck area brings reinforcements from several directions. Deal with pirates approaching your side first, and collect ammunition only after that part of the arena is clear. Chapter 5’s flooded fortress room instead creates intersecting firing lanes between pillars and elevated platforms. Identify the shooters above you on entry, avoid crossing the centre under their fire and use grenades to relieve pressure on your cover. After a death, remember which entrance produced the group that flanked you and adjust your position on the next attempt. Keep Crushing selected through the ending. Return for punching trophies later on an easier setting instead of making either of these encounters double as an attempt at a consecutive-kill streak.
- At the chapter 4 wreck and chapter 5 flooded room, locate reinforcements and elevated shooters first.
Collect 60 treasures and find the fortress rooftop Relic
The first Remastered game’s complete set consists of 60 ordinary treasures plus the Strange Relic; the sixty-treasure milestone alone is not the finish. In chapter 5, clear the first pirate courtyard, climb towards the upper walkway and look for the roof of the small ruined building. Jump onto that roof to reach the Relic; staying on the main route can take you past it unnoticed. Elsewhere in the fortress, the Golden Spoon sits on crates inside the side room along the machine-gun-controlled waterway, so the rooftop search does not cover that item. For cleanup, compare an item’s name in the Bonuses collection with its chapter counter. Pickups are recorded when collected; you do not need to replay every reopened chapter to its ending for one missing object.
- Verify 60 treasures plus the chapter 5 rooftop Relic; check the Golden Spoon room separately.
Separate streaks from cumulative kills
Rotate weapons instead of finishing with every kill assigned to one pistol. Watch the timing of brutal combos: weakening an enemy with gunfire before one punch is a different condition from the full combo. Do not combine a no-death streak with a technique you have not learned yet: use the checkpoint to study enemy movement first. Then dedicate a clean attempt to the consecutive requirement and a separate session to remaining weapons, checking the PS4 list wording.
- Attempt one consecutive requirement at a time.
Use the chapter speedrun mode
The platinum chapter trials cover chapters 5, 12 and 16. Learn the route and identify mandatory fights before timing it. Start the chapter in the intended speedrun mode instead of merely measuring an ordinary playthrough. An easier difficulty leaves more room for traversal; finish collectibles beforehand so detours do not interrupt the timed route.
- Practise the route, then start the correct chapter speedrun.
Finish the punching streak before the final Vault trial
For Steel Fist Expert, revisit chapter 4 on a low difficulty and use the plane area to prepare ten consecutive qualifying kills. Wound a pirate with your pistol without killing him, then approach for the single finishing punch. Adjust your shots to the target’s health instead of assuming a universal bullet count; shooting someone dead breaks the requirement. Then inspect the chapter trials: the fortress in chapter 5, the jet-ski route in chapter 12 and the Treasure Vault route in chapter 16, the last requiring under seven minutes. Have the Relic and ordinary treasures secured before racing through the Vault. Killing Descendants with a sniper rifle belongs to Supernatural Born Killers in Extended Collection, alongside Brutal and the continuous speedrun; leave that requirement outside the final platinum check.
- Confirm ten consecutive Steel Fist kills and trials 5/12/16; exclude the Extended Collection Descendant task.
