Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is a third-person action adventure with puzzles to solve. The game continues the story of Nathan Drake, the Indy Jones like treasure hunter who climbs, leaps, and shoots his way through a variety of cities and countries, including Columbia, France and Syria - this time searching for the Lost City of Ubar. The story also includes flashbacks into Drake's childhood, revealing secrets of his past.

The game, like its predecessors, received outstanding reviews with an average score of 94% and won several Game of the Year awards. An engaging story, well-voiced actors, creative puzzles, and jaw-dropping graphics, Drake's Deception has been described by many critics as a "masterpiece."

For more information, check out our Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Review.

If you've played any previous Uncharted games, then you have a good idea at how (not too) difficult this platinum can be, as the trophies are extremely similar. This involves a minimum of two playthroughs - one on the most difficult setting - finding collectibles, getting head-shots, making kills with certain weapons, etc.

Nothing that should take you more than 20 hours of gameplay.

NOTE: There are 2 online trophies. Though they are easy to acquire, they require an Online Pass. If you've purchased the game, than this pass is free. If you've rented the game or bought it used, chances are the free online pass' code has been used - in which case, you will have to pay for it.

If you've gotten Platinums on previous Uncharted games, then you know the routine.

If not, and if you're in a rush to get that platinum, then we recommend starting off on Hard mode and getting through the story. Along the way, you'll need to find various collectibles - which you can use the Walkthroughs in our Links page to help you out. There are also trophies for getting a number of kills with particular weapons, stealth attacks, head-shots, and a few various challenges. All these trophies are stackable, so don't worry if you can't collect them all during your first playthrough. All your stats will be saved in an overall collection.

Once you've completed Hard, the next mode - Crushing - will be unlocked. Again, just play through while trying to add more stealth kills and head shots to your stats, as well as other kills with certain weapons.

By now you should have nearly all the trophies. The rest is a simple clean-up, which you can use the chapter select as well as the Uncharted 3 Drake's Deception Trophy Guide links under our Links tab to help you. There are two online trophies, which simply require you to complete one Competitive and one Cooperative game.

Uncharted 2 Among Thieves Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Uncharted 2 Among Thieves Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  A third-person action title continuing the adventures of Nathan Drake as he searches for the fabled city of Shambhala. Several playthroughs are required for the Platinum, as well as collectibles to find.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

In this third-person action adventure game, you are Nathan Drake - a treasure hunter following Marco Polo's journals to Nepal and the Himalayas in search of the fabled city of Shambhala, where the Cintamani Stone awaits. Reunited with Victor "Sully" Sullivan and Elena Fisher, you meet a new cast of characters, climb, swing, and fight soldiers of a Serbian war criminal named Zoran Lazarevic, towards your goal. But in this cat-and-mouse game of treasure hunting, who can you trust?

Like its predecessor, Uncharted 2 also won several Game of the Year awards, including one from the Spike Video Game Awards in 2009.

If you've already collected the Platinum on the first Uncharted game, then the requirements for Among Thieves shouldn't be anything new to you. With a little time and some skill, you find all the hidden treasures, perform so many kills with different weapons, complete the game on each of the modes, and you're done.

There are trophies for the online content, but are not required in obtaining the Platinum. The only two which are requires are: Thrillseeker and Buddy System, both of which only need you to "complete" an online game, which is easy enough.

If you've played the first Uncharted, then you already know what to do in getting that Platinum. Your options, as in the previous game, are: quick and stressful (starting off on Hard Mode) or easier but slower paced (staying with Easy Mode until most trophies are unlocked). The choice is up to you.

Nearly all the trophies are identical to those on the first Uncharted - clear certain stages, find all the treasures (use the walkthroughs in our Links page for this) kill 50 enemies with certain weapons (often gained during your second playthrough, using infinite ammo) and a few other stunts (Run-And-Gunner, Hangman, etc.) which the Trophy Guides in our Links page should help you with. As stated earlier, the DLC online trophies are NOT required for the platinum, except for Buddy System and Thrillseeker, which can easily be acquired at any time.

the most difficult trophy for most people (besides Charted! - Crushing) is Steel Fist Expert, which requires you to defeat 10 enemies in a row with a single punch. Why is this a pain? Because you may be on a roll, defeated seven or eight enemies, and suddenly you accidentally kill the next one with your gun, or haven't softened him up enough and fail to take him out with one punch - which means you need to start over. We've included a Youtube video under our Links tab to give you an example of where in the game this trophy is easiest to acquire - but be prepared to spend a good hour or two yelling and swearing at your TV while throwing the controller at your cat/dog in frustration!

Jak 3 Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Jak 3 Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  A direct sequel to Jak II, and a revamp of the 2004 title released on the PlayStation 2. The game and its Platinum is slightly easier than Jak II, though still more challenging than The Precursor Legacy.

Jak 3 HD

Jak 3 HD is a third-person adventure platformer, and a direct sequel to Jak II. The game was first released on the PlayStation 2 in 2004, and revamped in HD for the PlayStation 3 with trophy support in 2012

A year has passed since the events in Jak II, and Jak, Daxter and Pecker find themselves in the Wasteland desert after being banished by Count Veger. They are rescued from the heat and taken to Spragus City by a mercenary named Damas. Jak, along with his friends, continue their adventure in a coming battle for the city.

Jak 3 on the PlayStation 2 received positive reviews, with an average score of 86%, praised for its action, weapon ability, storytelling, and overall great end to the series.

In terms of difficulty, Jak 3 is about the same, if not slightly easier than Jak II, though certainly more challenging than the original. Requires one full playthrough, plus a chapter select to mop-up what you missed. And yes, there are many orbs to collect.

Overall, expect roughly 20-25 hours to obtain the Platinum.

NOTE: The trophies on the PS4 have a separate list from those on the PS3 and PS Vita.

First, you can simply enjoy the game and play it from beginning to end, in which you'll unlock all the story-related trophies along the way. There is a chapter select available, so don't worry about any missable trophies.

Once you've beaten the game, simply use the chapter select to mop-up the last remaining trophies. This will probably include finding all the Precursor Orbs, and possibly the 250 Metal Head Skull Gems. Be sure to check out the Jak 3 trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you're missing and their requirements.

Jak II Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Jak II Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  A sequel to the original Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, and a revamp from the 2003 title released on the PlayStation 2. The game and its Platinum is significantly more challenging and time-consuming than the previous installment.

Jak II HD

Jak II HD, also known as Jak II: Renegade in Europe, is a third-person action platformer, and a sequel to Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, and was originally released on the PlayStation 2 in 2003, then revamped in HD for the PlayStation 3 in 2012.

Taking place in the same fictional location as its prequel, Daxter manages to break Jak out of prison after being locked away by Baron Praxis for two years. Together, they join the Underground, a rebel organisation to take down the Baron and stop his tyranny.

The original Jak II on the PlayStation 2 met with positive reviews, scoring an average of 91%, for its fun adventure, interesting characters, and departure from the prequel's more linear gameplay.

This game is significantly more frustrating and time consuming than its prequel, hence the 2-star difficulty rating. At least one playthrough is required, with mopping-up and some grinding afterwards. However, there is a trick - commonly known as the Orb Glitch - which can shave a good 15-20 hours off your gameplay, thereby bringing this difficulty score to a high 1-star.

Legitimately, the Platinum could take between 30-40 hours.

NOTE: The trophies on the PS4 have a separate list from those on the PS3 and PS Vita.

For the most part, you can start simply by playing the game from beginning to end. Depending on whether you chose to use the Orb Glitch or not, however, will decide how careful you are during your initial playthrough.

There are a total of 286 Precursor Orbs in the game, and you'll need to collect all of them for The Collectionator trophy. If you're going after this trophy legitimately, then you'll need to worry about the 7 located in the Metal Head Nest which can only be reached at the end of the story, and not after. This means, if you miss these 7 Orbs, then The Collectionator trophy can become missable.

Once you finish the story, you should have the vast majority of the trophies. Most likely, you will still need to find the remaining Precursor Orbs, which involves quite a lot of searching and grinding. Also, the game doesn't list in which areas you've already collected the Orbs, making this rather frustrating.

However, there is the famous Orb Glitch. Simply load up an Orb Hunt side mission, race to the Precursor Orb, and leap over it. In mid-air, pause the game and select Restart Mission. Jak will fall on the Orb during the load, and you can restart the mission to collect it again. Though it will take awhile to reach 286 Orbs, this method is far faster than searching on your own.

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy HD

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy HD is a platform adventure game, originally released on the PlayStation 2 in 2001 and redone in HD with trophy support for the PlayStation 3 in 2012. Players must gather items in order to progress through the game, while avoid hazards, attack enemies, and solve platforming puzzles.

Jak is on a quest to help his friend Daxter who has transformed into an otter and weasel hybrid called an ottsel. During which, they must save their world from Gold and Maia, who threaten to flood everything with Dark Eco.

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy on the PS2 received high praise, with an average score of 90%, for its graphics, light-hearted action, and overall fun.

The majority of the trophies are story-related, with the exception of finding collectibles and a few mini-games. Only one playthrough is required, with the freedom to return and unlock any other trophies afterwards, which means there are no missable trophies.

Should only take the average player 10-15 hours to claim the Platinum.

NOTE: The trophies on the PS4 have a separate list from those on the PS3 and PS Vita.

You will be able to return to previous areas after completing the game, so on your first playthrough you can simply play and enjoy yourself. Grab any collectibles you happen to come across, and only do the side quests if you feel like it. In the end, you will already have unlocked the majority of the trophies.

Once that's finished, it's time to mop-up. This means finding all the power cells, scout files, and precursor orbs, as well as any other trophies you may have missed during the initial playthrough.
