God of War: Chains of Olympus: PS3 Platinum Trophy Guide

God of War: Chains of Olympus

PS3

Start on Hard and rotate manual saves before sequences you cannot replay from a menu. The first checks come right after acquiring Efreet, and the later ones come around Persephone, where it helps to leave a Satyr encounter unfinished. Completing the story opens the bonus menu work but will not recover trophies tied to a single scene.

PS3 HD route from Attica to Persephone, with specific stops for missable trophies.

  • Original edition: PSP (2008); the platinum belongs to the PS3 HD remaster.
  • Remaster release: PS3: September 13, 2011 in North America; European rollout from September 14.
  • Trophy set: 36 trophies in all, including the platinum; offline requirements.
  • Campaign: Hard, two collectible types, and complete upgrades.
  • Missables to check: Attica, Satyrs, and Calliope’s scene.

Stop in Attica before driving off the Basilisk

After acquiring Efreet, take the right door for the optional minigame before following the story route. At the ballista, repel the Persian soldiers and knock down their ladders. Aim at the center first for Collateral Damage; the right-hand shot drives away the Basilisk and advances the encounter, so fire it second.

  • Verify the two Attica bronzes before moving on.

Build the combo during Attica’s final fight

On the bridge, the Basilisk clings to a wall and throws fireballs. Get underneath it and keep attacking without triggering the prompt that ends the fight. Watch the counter and wait for the 1,000-hit confirmation; that same combo passes the 200-hit mark. Only then finish the encounter.

  • Do not use the finisher prompt the first time you see it.

Collect eyes and feathers while practising parries

Explore side paths with chests for Gorgon Eyes and Phoenix Feathers. Spend red orbs on weapons and magic, and check the upgrades screen before the final stretch. Practise parrying as soon as it becomes available: the 50-parry trophy counts successful parries, not hits blocked by holding the button.

  • Use short fights to check the timing without spending magic.

Finish the Satyr and Calliope trophies before the finale

After Charon, weaken the Satyrs at Persephone’s temple with the Gauntlet of Zeus and use the grab when the prompt appears. Leave one enemy alive so you can reload the checkpoint if you need more executions; fifty must use the correct finisher. In the Medusa-head rooms, you can leave one head active and break free of petrification five times. When Calliope clings to Kratos, wait at least a minute before pushing her away.

  • Keep a save from before these encounters until the trophies unlock.

Return to Treasures for the movie, challenges, and costume

After the credits, verify the Hard clear and open the Treasures menu. Play the Atlas and Persephone movie three times, clear the entire challenge set, and start a new game wearing an unlocked costume. The costume trophy only needs you to enter the game; you do not have to reach the ending again.

  • If a campaign trophy is missing, load the slot before its scene.

Trophies to watch

Collateral Damage

Find ballista secret

With the ballista ready, shoot the center target before the one on the right.

Mutton for Punishment

Slit 50 Satyr throats

Weaken Satyrs until the grab prompt appears and perform the execution instead of killing them with an ordinary attack.

Old Softie

Don't push away Calliope for one minute

Let Calliope hold on for at least a minute; do not use the scene prompt early.

Heavy Hitter

Execute a 1000-hit combo

On the Attica bridge, keep hitting the Basilisk from below and delay the finisher.

Getting Your Money's Worth

Beat the game (Hard Mode)

Select Hard before starting and keep it through the ending.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a second full campaign?

No, if you start on Hard and cover the missables on that run. The challenges, movie, and costume start remain afterward.

Do I need to watch the movie three times in the story?

No. Once unlocked, watch it three times from the in-game movies section of Treasures.

Does the PSP or PS Vita copy have a platinum?

No. The list belongs to the PS3 HD version from Collection Volume II, called Origins Collection in North America.
