DOOM 3 platinum trophy guide for PS4 and PS VR: campaigns and PDAs

Written by

DOOM 3

PS4

The DOOM 3 platinum covers three campaigns, including two that are easy to overlook. Use your first trip through Mars to find PDAs and learn the route. Then aim for a ten-hour clear of the main campaign without revisiting every optional room.

Standard PS4 (2019) and PS4 VR Edition (2021), with 45 trophies in each list. The PS3 BFG Edition has different requirements and is outside this guide.

  • Lists: 45 trophies on each PS4 edition
  • Campaigns: DOOM 3, Resurrection of Evil and The Lost Mission
  • Multiplayer: No multiplayer trophies on either covered list
  • VR version: Requires the original PS VR headset and PlayStation Camera

Sweep Mars one room at a time

Track PDAs, video logs and storage lockers separately. Picking up one type does not count toward the others. PDA messages can contain locker combinations, so read them before leaving an area. When you reach the security chief’s office, make time to retrieve the BFG-9000.

  • Keep separate saves before changing sectors and check off each locker you open.

Finish the combat challenges

Choose a corridor with room to move when escorting a sentry bot, and clear the direction it is heading first. For the one-health trophy, prepare a save and attempt it against an isolated enemy. Once you have the Soul Cube, use it whenever it is ready and build its kill count as you go.

  • For the no-damage challenge, choose a level other than Mars City.

Plan the ten-hour run

Start a fresh DOOM 3 campaign for the timed run and pick a difficulty you know you can handle. Save resources for mandatory fights and prioritize the terminals that open the next door. If you already cleared the arcade cabinet, secrets and collectibles, skip those stops and follow the route you learned on the first run.

  • The time limit applies to the main campaign, with the expansions tracked separately.

Use the Grabber and Artifact in Resurrection of Evil

Start a fresh PDA checklist for Resurrection of Evil. Use the Grabber to send projectiles back when you find enemies you can isolate. After unlocking Hell Time, look for a fight with five targets close together. Wait to trigger the Artifact until you are in position to take all five down in that window.

  • Track the 20 punch kills made while the Artifact grants Berserk separately.

Finish The Lost Mission and check difficulties

Find the Lost Mission PDAs and watch for the RAGE logo, which has a separate trophy. After each ending, open the PlayStation trophy list and check which difficulties registered for that campaign. Take on Nightmare after learning the most dangerous rooms, and rotate manual saves before major arenas.

  • Check that all three Nightmare trophies have registered, one for each campaign.

Too Slow, Fool!

Kill 5 enemies at once while in Hell Time in RoE

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to play the expansions?

Yes. Both lists include Resurrection of Evil and The Lost Mission trophies, including difficulty clears and their own PDA collections.

Are PS VR and PS VR2 interchangeable?

The VR Edition covered here is a PS4 game for the original PS VR and PlayStation Camera. It is not a native PS5 or PS VR2 release.

Does this guide also cover the PS3 BFG Edition?

No. The PS3 release has its own list with additional requirements, including multiplayer trophies. This guide follows the two 45-trophy PS4 lists.
