PS4 / PS5
Liberty City’s 100% run takes shape in Portland: finishing one character’s story too early can remove another character’s missions. Use the quieter streets for the ambulance and keep a spare save before missions with missable trophies.
The 2021 Definitive Edition, with 29 trophies in each set. The older PS2 port on PS4 has different requirements and is outside this guide.
- Native trophy sets: PS4 and PS5, 29 trophies each; offline platinum.
- Ambulance: Level 12 in one attempt; early Portland is the easiest window.
- 100% lockout: Do not leave Kingdom Come as the final activity.
Use Portland before it turns hostile
Take the ambulance after the opening mission and aim for level 12. Group patient pickups to avoid empty trips and slow down on corners: losing the ambulance ends the attempt. Tackle the first firefighter and vigilante tasks here too, before the Triads and Mafia make the streets hostile.
- Save after clearing level 12; the unlimited sprint helps with collectibles too.
Protect the four mission trophies
Finish Luigi and Joey’s work before clearing Salvatore’s missions. Return Mike Lips’ car undamaged, rig Chunky Lee Chong’s getaway car, take a coach for all eight pickups in The Fuzz Ball and keep both Mafia allies alive in Triads and Tribulations.
- Keep a save before each attempt and confirm the trophy before overwriting it.
Finish Kenji and Asuka before Donald Love
On Staunton, finish Kenji before Waka-Gashira Wipeout and Asuka’s missions through Two-Faced Tanner before Grand Theft Aero. Track completed rampages, races and payphone missions yourself. The next bridge opening is not proof the previous island is done; the story can continue while required activities remain unfinished.
- Check Kenji and Asuka’s markers before starting each new Donald Love mission.
Finish the three-island side work
Firefighter and vigilante progress is tracked separately across Portland, Staunton and Shoreside Vale. Log twenty fires and twenty criminals on each island, as well as the two trophies for fifteen results in one attempt. Once all roads are open, break the hundred packages and twenty jumps into districts and finish the three import/export lists.
- Track vehicles individually; delivering one does not complete its import/export list.
Leave a safe activity for 100%
Finish D-Ice’s payphone chain before the rest of the checklist runs out. To avoid the reported Kingdom Come problem, leave a verified package or jump as the last 100% entry. Then check trophies outside the completion statistic, such as using every weapon or surviving one minute below ten health.
- Update the game and keep a spare save before the final activity.
Trophies to watch
Without a Scratch
Deliver Mike Lips' car without a scratch on first attempt.
Take wide turns and slow down at junctions; reload the pre-mission save if the car gets scratched.
Planned Ahead
Take out Chunky Lee Chong with a car rigged with a bomb.
Take Chunky’s Perennial to 8-Ball before approaching the stall, then put it back and arm the bomb.
Got This Figured Out
Use a coach to pick up all 8 prostitutes in the mission "The Fuzz Ball".
Take a coach from the depot east of Joey’s garage so all eight pickups fit in one run.
Playing Doctor
Complete Paramedic level 12.
Work in Portland before gangs turn hostile; save after finishing level twelve.
Is That All You've Got?
Achieve 100% completion.
Finish D-Ice’s calls early and leave a jump or package already marked on your map for last.
Frequently asked questions
Can I replay a missed story mission?
Do not count on chapter select. Keep manual saves before the four mission trophies and before the key Salvatore and Donald Love missions.
Can I use PS2-version cheats?
No. Cheats can disable trophies in the Definitive Edition, so use a clean save throughout the hunt.
Is GTA III one platinum with the other GTA games?
No. Vice City and San Andreas have independent lists; this roadmap is for the 29 GTA III trophies on your chosen console.
