you finish this yet? I’m at 71%.
Struggling to get the final keepsake from Hades. I heard you just give him nectar after you get your ten clears, but I’ve done that and still don’t have the option. Any ideas on what I’m missing?

93% here and it is taking forever.

I'm not sure anymore but at some point it was just there and i didn't even knew what i did exactly. Just try to speak to everyone after each attempt to escape and also try to give them nectar / ambrosia. Sometimes leaving the room and coming back also helps. I'm missing 3 prophecies and the trophy for the epilog. Sometimes these locked hearts won't unlock and i have no idea what to do to trigger them.

#76 Hades

Took me about 75 hours. Nothing is missable and it was entertaining overall. The fulfilling progression kept me going.

What’s everyone grinding on?

I went through a spell where I bought like ten games in a week or two and have had trouble focusing on one plat. I’m trying to finish off Deathloop, which I wish I hadn’t started - hate this game at this point tbh. Also working on Hot Wheels.

Nothing in particular since i'm obsessed with Diablo 2 Resurrected. How do you like Hot Wheels?

Hot Wheels is an awesome game. Best arcade racer in a long time. The plat is an impossible grind. The devs acknowledged it and are working on a solution so I’ve put it on the back burner til they make it more realistic.

Good to hear that since i crave a good arcade racer for quite a while. The same applies to the supposedly adapting of the platinum trophy.

I will pick it up once i'm burnt out from Diablo 2. This one has an, in my eyes, unobtainable platinum. Truly masochistic. Still at 0,0%. But i'm not playing it for the trophies.

I bought Diablo 2 as well. What’s so crazy about it? I saw no one has it still so I get it but damn. A quick glance the trophies seem similar to Diablo 3 which was a grind but pretty easy.

 

[WilboWaggins]

Just about to start Monster Hunter World tonight. Has anyone gone for the platinum on this game? I hear it's easy but a long grind, which I'm partial to as long as it's fun.

You need to get a hardcore character to level 99. Hardcore means one death and you will start from zero. And you have to play through all the three difficulties because otherwise you won't get much experience points. Maybe this one is easier with others online. I don't know.

You need to finish the game with every character on the hardest difficulty which is an incredible timesink unless you get boosted by others online.

Then you have trophies for endgame content which will require you to really master the game. Or you get items handed from others.

And then there are luck based trophies with something like 0,05% chance of appearance.

With the help from others online it is doable but still hard. In single player this is ridiculous.

Grinding. In my case that's a good word.

Started Persona 5 Royal at the beginning of the month. 50 h in and maybe I reached 1/3? of the game (3rd boss).
Fantastic title and I read that platinum is rather easygoing, but time-consuming, just like game.

 

[TexMex]

#184 - some truly annoying trophies and honestly that game isn’t great

 

[T-Cake]

I do like these PS5 trophy screenshots with overlay. It's a shame that you can't do it somehow for trophies you already have.

 

[marcincz]

#27 - Persona 5 Royal

After 184 h! (unfortunately that's the end) beat this title and platinumed. What to say? Amazing game. The best j/rpg in my life. Along with The Last of Us game of my life. Beauty journey through one year in modern Tokyo.
I don't want Persona 6. I want Persona 5-2.
Phantom Thieves and Morgana. You are the best.

#185 - Call of Duty Vanguard

Really enjoyed this one. Zombie trophies were simple for once, campaign was great and one of the easier Veteran difficulty runs in the series.

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

#77 - Visage

Pretty much unobtainable on your first playthrough without using a guide and spoiling the game. But with it on a second playthrough this takes about 4 or 5 hours. I could go for another platinum with the PS4 version fairly quickly but i feel pretty much done with the game.

Cool and creepy game!

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Just realized i have 33 Platinums...and 17 of them i got since i have the PS5 a year ago. I've been getting Platinums since 2009, lol.

- Astrobot's Playroom (PS5)
- Spyro the Dragon (PS4)
- Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! (PS4)
- Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon (PS4)
- Spider-Man Remastered (PS5)
- Ghost of Tsushima (PS4)
- Bugsnax (ps5)
- Concrete Genie (PS4)
- God of War (PS4)
- Control: Remastered (PS5)
- Ratchet & Clank: Nexus (PS3)
- Ratchet & Clank (PS4 reboot)
- Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart (PS5)
- Days Gone (PS4)
- Control (PS4)
- Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut (PS5)
- Spider-Man: Miles Morales (PS5)

Total: 17

This means half of my Platinums happened during the past 12 months alone. Now i'm thinking if this makes me proud or sad, specially considering half of them are Spyros, Ratchets and smaller titles like Astrobot, Concrete Genie etc, lmao

#186 - Alan Wake Remastered

My tradition of capturing the best screen shots possible for the plat continues.

Loved this game though. Awful controls but everything else was awesome.

#187 - Psychonauts 2


Incredible game. This is definitely my game of the year. Can’t say enough good things about it. Beautiful, creative, soundtrack of the year and it controls like a dream. Shocked at how good this was. This is vintage Nintendo levels of polish. Loved every second. Buy it.

I just wanted to take a short break from Psychonauts 2 and have a look at this game but it never let me go up until i finished it. I liked it so much that i even made a thread for it.

You can miss the "masteries" but you can do them up until and while you do the last mission if you haven't completed them. No trophies are tied to difficulty settings or online related stuff since there is no online functionality. Took me about 20 hours and i enjoyed every second.

Buying now, hope to join you in the winners circle if I can force myself to finish this mind numbingly dull Far Cry 6 platinum.

Sure you will, given your track record of trophies. I'm thinking of blasting through the PS4 version again since i feel i would enjoy another playthrough but firstly i need to finish Psychonauts 2.

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

Hey TexMex are there any missable trophies for Psychonauts 2 or can i just clean up everything after i finished the game?

Technically Duck Duck Goose is, but you’d almost have to try to not get it naturally.

And don’t even bother with collectibles until post game, there’s always a few you can’t access without all upgrades.

Good, i already obtained that and finished the game today. Now for the cleanup.

Good thing that the game shows you the parts where something is missing.

 

[Lady Redfield]

I need 1 more trophy on Ice Cream Break to get plat #30. I didn’t have enough money in my wallet to get a higher priced game, so, I bought that as it was only $10 and it’s actually quite fun, though gets super repetitive.

Yeah, the number of figments seems overwhelming but they do such a good job of narrowing down and segmenting the worlds it really doesn't take too long, they basically point you right where to look. That said there were a handful that were really well hidden, or they just blended in so well with the world that I didn't notice them. Even with a guide I felt lost. But I did all of them very quickly.

I really didn't want the game to end and luckily i can still play a bit. Can't remember the last time i played a game with so much creativity in terms of design.

I will try to complete it.

Did you find the Asgard part really boring? That’s where I am right now. I actually stopped playing a while ago, but, want to get back in to it as the game is otherwise great and I love the AC series, I am just in mentally bored agony over this particular section.

I’m going to finish that part soon. Finished the main game but not Asgard yet lol

I don’t know how people have the stamina to plat the AC games, especially the more modern ones (Origins to present). They are so insanely massive.

Had the exact same issue, even opened a ticket with support. You’re not alone.

Upload your save to the cloud, quit out of the game. Somewhere between reloading/reinstalling it fixed itself. I think on the third time I went back it just opened.

The Quarry showed 4 of 4 keys but i found another one there and with this i could open the last chest in Motherlobe so i'm all good. Weird, but i'm happy it worked out. Pretty close to Platinum now. Maybe tomorrow. Thanks for the input!

Fairly easy platinum and an incredible game if you like the franchise. Decent shooter. One missable trophy, no online related trophies and no difficulty settings tied to the platinum.

#81 - Manifold Garden

Cool and mind bending puzzle game that incorporates infinite architecture into the progress of solving the puzzles. Also some nice ambient music and sounds. Not hard except for the last two trophies, that ask you to play through the game without using god cubes which seem essential to the game at first. I had to look up the solution and my mind was blown as this is some crazy shit. How do people even figure this out?

The game was / is on sale and i would recommend it.

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

Hot Wheels is an awesome game. Best arcade racer in a long time. The plat is an impossible grind. The devs acknowledged it and are working on a solution so I’ve put it on the back burner til they make it more realistic.

Any news on that front?

Yeah they added this season/daily system that made the grind super simple. My buddy got the plat like a week later, no issues. Now I just need to clean it up, I’m half way there.

 

[Erdrick]

Platinum'd Astalon:Tears Of The Earth on my PS5. Really enjoyed my near month with it. The control, design and sense of progression was perfect and I actually had a great time getting all the trophies for it.

Next up, FF7R Intergrade for the PS5. I won't really play for all the trophies but mostly want to get past the 15-20 hours or so I played of it back in April 2020 on my PS4. The new content should probably be fun too but I'll see after the main game.

After some intense sessions with the game, all I'm missing is the coins and the gears trophy and even with the daily challenges this is a crazy grind. Can't imagine how it was like before that.
