PS4 / PS5
Kiryu and Mine have separate campaigns, activities and saves, but platinum requires time with both. Start with Kiwami 3 to avoid spoilers, then use Premium Adventure for the two longer tracks: Kiryu's Amon fights and Mine's Survival Hell. This collection's requirements differ from the original Yakuza 3.
Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties collection with separate native PS4 and PS5 lists. Both stories in the collection contribute to the platinum.
- Difficulty: Beginner works for all trophies
- Missables: Both stories allow cleanup in Premium Adventure
- Online: No online trophies
Finish Kiryu's story and open Premium Adventure
Play through all twelve chapters. Test the fighting styles and look for LaLaLa friends whenever you reach a new neighbourhood. Buy Kiryu abilities along the way and check the training list for Master Dragon. Load the cleared file after the ending to finish remaining activities in Okinawa and Kamurocho.
- Keep Kiryu's cleared file separate from Mine's.
Finish Morning Glory before the eight individual stories
Finish the orphanage storyline and cooking requests first to build the children's bonds. Then check the remaining individual activities and spend minigame time on the lowest bonds. Talk to each child again at maximum affinity to see their final scene. Morning Glory's storyline and the eight individual stories are separate trophy targets.
- Check all eight final scenes even after earning World's Best Dad.
Prepare for Jo Amon and the Amon Riders
For Jo Amon, finish the preceding 30 substories, defeat 36 Reapers and win nine Coliseum matches. Follow the phone message in Premium Adventure. For the Amon Riders, complete the Haisai Girls storyline and win the optional Turf War and Total Annihilation fights too. Strengthen your squad leaders and reinforce them when pressured; the second encounter is a team battle.
- The 20-Reaper trophy does not cover Jo Amon's full unlock condition.
Unlock Hell's Arena through Mine's Good Deeds
In chapter two, progress Kanda Damage Control. Accept Good Deeds from the office and complete Coliseum Investigation for access to the Hell's Arena trials. Keep building Karma and view each Bro Time scene as it appears. If an accepted deed has no map marker, try changing the time at the office once that option is available.
- Check Actually God after the final Bro Time, not just after the earlier Karma-rank trophy.
Manage exits across all five Survival Hell courses
Pick up crates that strengthen Mine, but watch the countdown in the later courses: the damage after zero can ruin a run. Ring gongs to advance. When time or health runs low, take an available exit and keep the rewards. Once all five courses are clear, tackle the five Brawler Hell tournaments from the nearby reception.
- Check Mine's minigame count and Baka Mitai at karaoke as well.

Frequently asked questions
Does the platinum require Legend difficulty?
No. Both stories and the late challenges count on Beginner. The Amon Riders still benefit from a well-developed squad.
Can I leave Morning Glory and Survival Hell until later?
Yes. Load the appropriate cleared story file to enter Premium Adventure. Mine and Kiryu do not share their activity lists.
Is Dark Ties a required separate DLC purchase?
No. Dark Ties is the second story included in the collection. Additional character and costume packs are not required for platinum.
