Tomb Raider: Underworld: PS3 Platinum Trophy Guide

Tomb Raider: Underworld

PS3

Underworld rewards tracking key spots before you leave them. You can recover treasures and relics in Treasure Hunt, but that mode does not replace story combat or the dive on Amanda’s ship. Start on the highest difficulty and keep separate saves before key sections in case a trophy does not register.

This guide covers the 33 trophies in Underworld on PS3. The May 28, 2009 update added trophies to the 2008 disc; The Tomb Raider Trilogy uses the same set.

  • PS3 list: 33 offline trophies, without a second list for Trilogy.
  • Collectibles: 179 treasures and six relics.
  • Sequences: Three dives and three bike runs, to be completed in order on the same playthrough.
  • Release and update: The original PS3 disc came out in 2008; trophy support arrived on May 28, 2009.

Update and start on the hardest setting

If you have the original disc, install the trophy update before starting. Select the highest difficulty for Master Survivalist and do not lower it during the story. Keep separate saves before the ship, Thailand and the timed sections. Leave one file for current progress rather than overwriting your only earlier copy each time.

  • Check that Prologue unlocks before investing hours in collectibles.

Perform all three dives in the same sequence

Start at the ledge above the Kraken in Niflheim. In God of Thunder, use the upper deck of Amanda’s ship near the life-jacket bin. In Thailand, dive from The Remnants cliff above the fourth treasure area. Verify each trophy before moving on; the ship cannot be recovered in Treasure Hunt.

  • If you miss a spot, load a save from before the first dive and redo them in order.

Save before the three Speed Demon runs

Drive into Xibalba in under 45 seconds, down Valgrind in under 50, and through the Valhalla maze in under 40. Reload from before the trial if you take the wrong route or lose too much speed. Keep all three results on the same playthrough in that order: jumping to a later save can leave the Gold sequence incomplete.

  • Verify each Bronze and then Master Speed Demon.

Get enemy-dependent trophies done during the story

When you meet ground enemies during bike sections, aim for five runovers before leaving the area. Find a close group for a three-kill grenade and use remaining fights for ten adrenaline headshots. Do not wait for Treasure Hunt, which has no enemies for these goals.

  • Check Master Roadkiller, Master Grenadier and Weapons Master before the ending.

Check treasures and relics by area

As you leave an area, compare your count to the stage walkthrough and note any gaps. Many treasures are in pots, so check alcoves before exiting. After the ending, use Treasure Hunt for missing collectibles and check the four-kick chimney jump as well. Keep a save before the last items in case you encounter a reported counting issue.

  • Confirm 179 treasures and six relics; the counters are separate.

Frequently asked questions

Can I leave every trophy for Treasure Hunt?

No. You can recover treasures and relics, but enemy trophies and the ship dive need story mode or an earlier save.

Does Trilogy give a second platinum?

No. Underworld uses the same PS3 list as the updated standalone game.

Are the expansions required on PS3?

No. The platinum is part of the 33-trophy PS3 set and does not require the additional Xbox 360 chapters.
