Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 platinum guide for PS3

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2

PS3

Before the hardest run, gather what makes it manageable. On your first pass, secure Classic Flavor, build mastery and take useful items. After the ending use New Game Plus for the Prince of Darkness campaign. Kleidos challenges are separate: winning a room is not enough when some conditions remain unchecked.

47 base PS3 trophies. The ten Revelations trophies are not needed for The Outer Limits or the platinum.

  • Missable: Classic Flavor needs the bird after the garden stealth section.
  • Difficulty: After the first clear, use New Game Plus on Prince of Darkness.
  • Kleidos: Collect sixteen nails and finish the challenges’ conditions on the required difficulty.

Earn Classic Flavor while the bird is present

While retrieving Trevor’s mirror fragments, pass Pan’s garden stealth section. After the elevator, ready the Chaos Claws and Chaos Bomb before moving into the bird’s area. Target the bird when it appears and hit it with the bomb. Do not move on expecting to freely repeat the sequence after the ending.

  • Check Classic Flavor before returning to the mirror-fragment route.

Transfer mastery from individual moves

Do not use the same whip attack every time. Rotate whip, Void Sword and Chaos Claws, using different moves until their meters fill. In the skill menu, transfer a mastered move to the overall weapon level. Buy missing moves too: purchasing them and using them enough to transfer mastery are different goals.

  • Check the overall level of all three weapons, not just the move meter.

Reopen paths and check each category

Collect gems, relic upgrades, lore and artwork as you clear areas, breaking objects that can reveal art. Return when a later ability opens a passage and use a Dodo Egg when you cannot locate a secret. Look for piles containing Kleidos nails as well. Before the second run, check the stats to see which categories are unfinished.

  • Check off the nails to open all four sets at the Chupacabra’s mirror.

Finish the second run on Prince of Darkness

After the first run, choose New Game Plus from Extras to keep your progress and take on the new difficulty. Check healing relics and available powers before hard rooms. Dodge attacks that would interrupt your chain instead of forcing it, then use openings to develop unfinished weapons. Keep the setting through the final fight and check the trophy at the credits.

  • Do not use menu cheats if you want the run to count for trophies.

Finish Kleidos conditions and audit 110%

Enter the Chupacabra’s mirror on Prince of Darkness. Read every challenge condition before starting: when the last asks you to combine earlier ones in one attempt, repeat the room to earn all the checks together. After Kleidos Legend, return to the stats and audit artwork, lore, abilities, mastery and remaining objects. Revelations has a separate route.

  • Do not count a challenge as complete while its screen still shows an unchecked condition.

Frequently asked questions

Can you do the chicken trophy after the ending?

Do not count on revisiting the scene. Prepare during the story after Pan’s stealth section.

Can I do Kleidos on a lower difficulty?

You can use it for practice, but Kleidos Legend and progress toward 110% require Prince of Darkness challenges.

Is Revelations required for 110%?

No. The Outer Limits tracks the base game; Revelations has ten separate add-on trophies.
