Darksiders platinum guide: PS3 and Warmastered

Written by

Darksiders

PS3 / PS4 / PS5

The first Darksiders platinum is easier to organise if you keep saves before one-off segments. Prepare for Apocalyptic, hunt the 27 artifacts when you have the tools to revisit areas, and reserve a slot before the final boss. The flight trophies and Ulthane contest are worth checking immediately.

Original Darksiders on PS3 and Warmastered Edition on PS4 and PS5. All three lists have 43 trophies.

  • Platforms: PS3 original; Warmastered on PS4 and PS5
  • Required difficulty: Apocalyptic; lower difficulty clear trophies stack
  • Key collectibles: 27 artifacts, Abyssal Armor, Lifestones and Wrath Cores
  • Warmastered release: PS4: November 22, 2016; PS5: May 19, 2026

Start on Apocalyptic and save before one-off scenes

Start on Apocalyptic if you want all three difficulty trophies from one clear. In the opening battle, pick up a vehicle and use it against a helicopter for Open Air Parking. At the Choking Grounds seals, look for the Duskbat trial: chain five kills in the air without landing.

  • Save before the seal trials; for High Flier, glide between Duskbats that are too far apart for a normal jump.

Save before the Angelic Beast

The flight for Aerial Predator begins after Broken Stair. Make a separate save before leaving and use short lock-on bursts across multiple targets; when swarms appear, prioritise small creatures that build the count quickly. If the trophy does not unlock by the end of the flight, return to that save.

  • Verify the 160-kill trophy before overwriting your flight save.

Beat Ulthane's angel count

Save before the Ulthane contest. Watch the two counters as you fight and prioritise nearby or weakened angels: starting a distant fight costs time while your rival keeps scoring. If you are behind when the sequence ends, reload before moving forward.

  • Finish ahead on the counter; a tie is not enough.

Revisit areas with the right tools

Once you have the Abyssal Chain, Mask of Shadows and other story tools, revisit areas with chests or routes you could not reach earlier. Track the 27 artifacts, Abyssal Armor pieces, and health and wrath fragments in separate categories. Check Vulgrim's stock and exchanges as well.

  • Keep a separate slot after forging the Armageddon Blade and before the final fight.

Upgrade the Scythe, Gauntlet and moves before the finale

Buy the Scythe and remaining weapon moves from Vulgrim. Raise the Scythe and Gauntlet to level four; the Armageddon Blade replaces the sword at maximum level. Iron Canopy's spider groups are useful for weapon experience: use swings that hit multiple targets rather than wiping out the group with a Wrath power.

  • Check moves and levels before the boss; use your pre-finale save for any remaining mounted trophies.

Frequently asked questions

Does Apocalyptic also count for Normal and Easy?

Yes. An Apocalyptic clear is the direct route to all three difficulty trophies.

Which trophies should I check immediately?

The prologue helicopter, five airborne Duskbat kills, the Broken Stair flight and Ulthane's kill contest. Keep a save before each opportunity.

Does Warmastered on PS5 use the PS4 list?

No. The native 2026 PS5 edition has its own list. Its 43 requirements match PS3 and PS4.
