PS Vita / PS3
This is the first Ratchet & Clank from the HD Trilogy. Track the 40 gold bolts and 30 skill points as you explore, then take the same save into Challenge Mode. The million-bolt total builds over that run; creating a new save file can reset trophy progress even if the game still shows your currency.
HD edition of the 2002 PS2 game, 35 trophies per list. PS3 and PS Vita lists are separate from the 2016 PS4 reimagining.
- Gold bolts: Collect 40 for Bolt Commando.
- Skill points: 30 for Skillful.
- Online: Not required.
Open routes and revisit with the right gadgets
Follow the campaign through Drek. When a route calls for a gadget you do not have, note the planet and continue; you can return without restarting. Watch Orxon, where Ratchet and Clank have different routes available. Before changing playthroughs, check each planet against your gold-bolt total.
- Use the map to separate side routes from places already explored.
Finish the planet-specific challenges
Set aside a visit for skill points that change how you play. Break the lights on Oltanis, use the Sand Mouse against tanks on Batalia, and fight the Blarg Station queen with the wrench alone. Avoid other damage sources where a specific weapon is required. Confirm the point registered before leaving.
- Check skill points that do not have a trophy of their own.
Separate hoverboard time and tricks
On Rilgar, practice the turns and learn where to regain speed after jumps. For Speedy, aim below 1:35 without adding unnecessary tricks. Try the Twisty McMarx in another attempt. On Kalebo III, the Magician score is the goal instead: build combinations and land cleanly.
- Use Rilgar for Speedy and Kalebo III for the 4,500-plus score.
Complete weapons and nanotech
Return to the R.Y.N.O. vendor once you can afford it and buy both nanotech upgrades on Orxon. Use the hidden shop for the ten gold weapons: it is accessible at Gemlik Base, or via the Novalis teleporter after the ending. You need all 40 gold bolts and enough regular currency.
- Set aside 250,000 regular bolts for the ten gold weapons.
Keep the same save slot through one million
Launch Challenge Mode from your completed game and keep the same file for Bolt Collector. Use areas rich in crates and enemies to earn while you finish outstanding purchases. Before switching systems or releases, check your current list: PS3 and Vita trophies are separate and this counter should not be assumed to transfer.
- Do not create a new save file to continue the counter.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same list as Ratchet & Clank on PS4?
No. This is the HD Trilogy on PS3 and Vita, separate from the 2016 PS4 reimagining.
Does spending ruin the million-bolt trophy?
It counts bolts earned on the same file. Still keep enough on hand for the R.Y.N.O., nanotech and gold weapons.
Are all gold weapons mandatory?
Yes. Buy ten; collecting gold bolts alone does not earn Ratchet, King Midas.
