PS Vita / PS3
The platinum has three collection targets: 101 Power Cells, 112 Scout Flies and 2,000 Precursor Orbs. Check each area before leaving its hub, and do not confuse the amount needed to progress with the final total. Vehicle sections and character challenges matter as much as the items on foot.
PS3 and PS Vita HD Trilogy releases, with 39 trophies in each set. The later PS4 and PS5 emulated releases are not covered.
- Power Cells: 101 for Maximum Power!
- Collections: 112 Scout Flies and 2,000 Precursor Orbs.
- Online: No requirement.
Close the early areas from Sandover
Walk the village, then take one area at a time. Check for Scout Fly crates above routes you normally cross quickly; the cell earned for the fly set is separate from the other cells in that area. When a character asks for orbs, return and speak to them after meeting the requirement to claim the reward.
- Check Sentinel Beach and Forbidden Jungle before moving on to Misty Island.
Use eco to unlock side routes
Complete the jungle’s eco-beam route and return to check the connected area. Find a safe approach before fighting the Dark Eco plant. If an object looks out of reach, locate the blue eco source and plan the route before picking it up; the charge does not last long.
- Do not leave cells tied to area-specific actions behind.
Use the touchscreen in both Vita minigames
On PS Vita, slide a finger across the screen to move the fishing net for Hand Over Fish. In Boggy Swamp, aim at rats with the stick and tap the screen to fire yellow eco for Hungry?. Use those inputs on the first successful clear of both minigames so you do not have to find a way to replay them after the reward.
- Check both Vita trophies immediately after their minigames.
Revisit Zoomer routes
In Zoomer areas, give the orbs and time trials separate attempts. In Precursor Basin use the wider sections to turn around and check the side lines before starting a trial. Learn the gorge’s turns and then go for the record. Give Lava Tube items their own pass, where pushing toward the exit can distract you from collecting.
- Finishing a route does not mean you collected every orb along it.
Revisit the cave and mountain
After Klaww, check the northern areas before entering the Citadel. In Spider Cave, light the dark stretches and follow the crystal route before turning back. In Snowy Mountain, check side routes and the glacier Lurkers. Use the area menu to see where a reward is missing rather than sweeping the entire world blindly.
- Check that all 112 Scout Flies are recorded.
Finish Gol and Maia and check the totals
Enter the Citadel with your route nearly complete. Its Power Cells add to the rest, so reaching the boss does not prove you have the full total. After Gol and Maia, compare the three counters and return to the incomplete area. If only a few orbs are missing, check vehicle routes and high side paths first.
- Final targets: 101 cells, 112 flies and 2,000 orbs.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Lava Tube threshold enough for platinum?
No. It only lets you progress; Maximum Power! needs all 101 cells.
Do flies also contribute to cells?
Yes. Finish each set and verify the awarded cell as well as the fly counter.
