Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: PS3 Platinum Trophy Guide

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

PS3

Check two things before starting: the correct patch and a fresh save. Then split the work between a run for exploration and a full Sith Master run. Holocrons and Force power kills are easier if you plan them around one save, while the highest difficulty deserves a campaign without needless detours.

This guide covers the PS3 base game with trophy patch 2.00, available in North America by August 22, 2009. The 2008 disc launched without trophies; the Ultimate Sith Edition DLC is optional for platinum.

  • PS3 base list: 48 offline trophies; 17 more belong to the three DLC packs.
  • Trophy support: PS3 update 2.00 from 2009; trophies do not unlock retroactively from pre-update saves.
  • Difficulty: Sith Master requires a full run without changing difficulty.

Update the game and verify the prologue

Install the update before creating your trophy save. Keep any original launch save, but start a new game. In the Kashyyyk prologue, use Vader to make progress toward Bossk and to take out the twelve stormtroopers for Worst Day-Shift Manager Ever. Wookiee kills in later chapters do not count for the prologue objective.

  • Check that Invasion unlocks after the prologue before continuing.

Use the first run for holocrons and bonuses

Play on Apprentice to search the levels at your own pace and collect Jedi holocrons chapter by chapter. Check mission stats before moving on. Finish every bonus objective on one level for Corellian Star, then complete the Training Room lessons, challenges and combat modules. After the ending, use the last mission in level select to make the other choice.

  • Track campaign holocrons separately from Training Room activities.

Start a new game on Sith Master

Once the difficulty is available, select New Game and play through the prologue with it already active. Do not raise it on a file started on a lower setting. Use lightning from range where enemies allow it, and take advantage of drops with Force Grip. In boss fights, defend until you see a safe opening instead of trying a long combo at every opportunity.

  • Do not change difficulty before the ending.

Complete Force masteries on one save

Kills for one Force power must stay on the same save. Pick a section with weak enemies, land the finishing blow with the power you are tracking, and switch after the trophy unlocks. Combine kills with chapter cleanup, but reserve Lightning Shield and other high-count powers for areas you can repeat safely.

  • Do not add kills from two different saves together.

Clean up scores and separate the DLC

For Legend, repeat one mission on Apprentice and vary your moves and combos. The roadmap documents points accumulating across attempts on the same level. Check Frenzy and other combat goals before looking at Jedi Temple, Tatooine or Hoth trophies. Those extra lists only matter if you also want 100% of the add-on content.

  • Check the 48-trophy base list independently of the DLC.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to buy Ultimate Sith Edition?

No. The updated PS3 version has the same base list. Three DLC packs add 17 trophies outside the platinum.

Can a 2008 save earn the trophies?

Trophies are not awarded retroactively from pre-update saves. Use a fresh game after installing the patch.

Do the lower difficulty trophies stack?

Yes, a valid Sith Master clear also earns the lower difficulty trophies. Clean up afterward or on a separate save.
