PS3
Start the story on Easy to finish without shooting people. After the ending, start a fresh Hard file. Learn the faster lines in local Time Trials before tackling speedruns: the precision you gain there carries over to whole chapters.
This is the 2008 PS3 Mirror's Edge list, not the PS4 Catalyst list. It has 45 base trophies plus six Pure Time Trials add-on trophies; the platinum is possible offline in the base game.
- Campaign: A no-shooting run and a Hard clear
- Collection: 30 bags, three per chapter including the prologue
- Required stars: 50 in local Time Trials
Easy: clear Test of Faith and collect bags
In guarded rooms, choose between avoiding, knocking out or disarming enemies. If you take a gun, drop it immediately so your next action does not fire it. The status screen tells you whether you have shot anyone. When you see the red runner symbol, search nearby for a bag before leaving the stretch.
- Track bags by chapter and read the no-shooting status message.
Start a new Hard game
After finishing the story, start a Hard campaign from the beginning. Do not stitch together chapters from the menu; there are reports of the trophy failing that way. Without Runner Vision markers, use ledges you already recognize and rely on cover or disarms if you cannot bypass a patrol.
- Finish the prologue and chapters on the same Hard file.
Unlock trials and work toward 50 offline stars
Open Time Trials from the menu and choose to continue offline if the game tries to connect. Begin with open trials and beat qualifying times to unlock further routes. The 23 base trials provide enough stars for Still counting; improve tracks where you see room to gain time rather than chasing three stars on the hardest one first.
- Use the local total; old online stars were tracked separately.
Run the prologue and nine chapters against the clock
Speedruns time whole chapters rather than Time Trial sections. Practise the stretch that slows you down most, then join it to the full run without stopping for bags. Use the sub-six-minute target for chapter 9 and find a clean line through the server room before your serious attempt.
- Check a separate speedrun for the prologue and each of the nine chapters.
Finish the movement chains and isolated actions
For movement chains, choose a spot with a wall, an obstacle and room to land. Practise each move separately before combining them; a gap can break the sequence. For a chapter without being shot or landing heavily, return to a short early route you know well.
- Check combat actions separately from the movement trophies.

Frequently asked questions
Did server closure block the original platinum?
No. The online leaderboard is unnecessary; local trials and their trophies are playable offline. Do not confuse this list with Catalyst.
Do I need Pure Time Trials for Still counting?
No. The base trials are enough for 50 stars. The 75- and 90-star requirements belong to the add-on trophies, not the base platinum.
Does firing into the air ruin Test of Faith?
The trophy checks whether you shot an enemy. To avoid accidents, get past guards without firearms and read the note in the status screen.
