Top 5 Most Difficult PS3 Trophies

As a PS3 gamer, you can't help but feel a sense of satisfaction when you see that trophy icon pop up in the corner of the screen and hear that little 'ding.' They are fun, enjoyable, time consuming and add more value to the title you're playing. The hardest trophies are geared towards people who thrive on challenge (or for people who are against buying 'Hannah Montana: The Movie Game' for an easy platinum, just to up your trophy level).

For all you hardcore trophy hunters out there, PSLS brings you our list of the Top 5 Most Difficult PS3 Trophies to obtain.

Killzone 2's trophies can be fairly ridiculous. Warhawk has a lot of crazy trophies, too. @_@

rroded6022d ago

tho demons souls prob close

really h8 games that make it so hard its practically impossible.

jammy_706022d ago

it just takes soooo long, that's the only trophy i need for that game, an im never gonna get it.....

K2 has some hard ones

zaza1266022d ago

i would definitely have to go for warhawk. those trophies can take months...

Megaton6022d ago

Warhawk's plat is only hard cause it's a point grind of Korean MMO proportions.

WipEout HD is the hardest raw skill plat.

WildArmed6022d ago (Edited 6022d ago )

Demons souls wasn't too hard.

I'd definitely say Wipeout HD is the HARDEST plat ever..
and considering i have plats/achievments in all the games they listed other then Wipeout HD, I'd say it's a good bet.

Oh that Superstardust was effen hard!

ATM, All the games that I own i have a plat for except Wipeout HD, warhawk and Resistance 2 ( i dont like grinding trophyes like 10k kills), 13 plats in total atm.

oh PAIN Had very hard trophies

claney6022d ago

SOCOM Kill 15 people in 1 game without taking damage is insane without boosting it, and Warhawk Plat lol thats just stupid to get.

C_SoL6022d ago

Beat ZICO

ZICO, your an a$$hole for putting me through agony and pain. day and night trying to beat your time, a$$hole.

On the real though it only took me a week to get.

2 months to get the plat.

One game that I can't overcome is Blast Factor. Who ever has played would understand.

Max Power6022d ago

Dude, I was playing R2 the other day to try and get the online trophies, and my PSN was reported for be offensive and my account is now banned, and I have to get all my trophies all over again. Oh and this is a week after I got top 1% for the week in Killzone 2.

KillaManiac6022d ago

Cross Edge (7 Golds) and Disgaea 3 are EASILY the hardest i've seen so far.

FACTUAL evidence6022d ago (Edited 6022d ago )

But not the Zico. That's the only insane one. Hardest trophies i'd say is, SF4: No challenge to hard(clear all fighters hard trial combos). NGS2: All missions successfully completed(self explanatory), FarCry2: warlord(achieve lvl 30), KZ2: heroic survivor(complete the game on elite), and then the wipeout trophy they had explained. those are my top 5.

EDIT: OMG just thought of something....try soldner X...now thats F'n hard.

Lifendz6022d ago

I do. Beat the game on Elite and then we'll talk.

King_many_layers6022d ago

I can't believe nobody here's mentioned Motorstorm Pacific Rift, damn that can be difficult...

not to mention frustrating. It gets me so worked up, yet I love it.

ReservoirDog3166022d ago (Edited 6022d ago )

I don't know about Bioshock being on this list. Granted I played it on normal (on the 360) but after about the halfway point (when you realize nothing's scary anymore cause there's absolutely no punishment for dying), it stopped being hard in any way. I made it on normal without using the chamber thing.

Haven't checked though. Anyone know if those things are still in Bioshock 2? That was really the one big flaw in the original.

edit: Oh and the trophy that forever eludes me is the Create trophy for LBP. I swore to myself I'll never do h4h to get it and I'm only like 10 hearts away. That's the last trophy I need for the platinum. God...

TooTall196022d ago

I beat KZ2 on Elite and that was the only difficult one I got. I just couldn't shave my time down any more to beat Zico. If someone want serious respect Plat SOCOM. If you want easy trophies play Fight Night.

thor6022d ago

Warhawk plat is literally impossible for me; one of the trophies is called "bandwidth donor" and you need to host a ranked, dedicated server for a few hours. My connection isn't good enough to host :| Of course I'd never get platinum anyway because it would take at least 1000 hours of play time...

I do however have Killzone 2, Wipeout HD and Motorstorm: Pacific Rift platinum trophies :)

Theonik6022d ago

Honestly some of these trophies are not so hard with the exception of Beat zico.
Replace W@W with Kz2 on Elite. Also i choose the impossible is possible with disabling vita chambers and saving often, it's just the start of the game you will have trouble with.

Viper76022d ago

R2 grind trophies are no way near hard, just stupid. Personaly I gave up because lack of interest to get the 10k kills. Same goes for killzones weekly player trophies that just seem to require a lot of playtime for a certain week. Warhawk is a grindfest.

Also MotorStorm 2 is not hard the correct word is cheap. The rubber-band ai just ruins the game on last races. Basically the game forces players to drive badly to abuse the ai to get gold. If you do perfect runs, the ai drivers will drive past you on the last straight even if your boosting full time, at your max speed with the fastest car in the game.

Personaly I would disagree with bioshock a bit, although it is greatly affected by how one plays it. If you go it guns blazing its close to imbossible. But I managed to finish it without any real difficulty by learning to use the best skills in the game. Tip: Target dummy(awesome), security bullseye(good bye bigdaddys), beehive(aka indirect fire) are a lot better than the run and gun difficulties tend to make them.

I really hate most of the grind trophies, they dont take skill just time.
- kill 9999999 enemies.
- get to lvl 9999.
- get rank of supreme general in online.
- do this 99999 times.
- travel 99999 miles

also the cheap trophies like the ones in motorstorm pacific drift are no good as well.

Redempteur6022d ago

wipeout hd was the first game with trophy enabled that i got .i'm stuck à 35%

(beat zico is kinda impossible for me )

but the street fight 4 trophy are reeeaaaallly hard ( the chalenges rooms )

killzone 2 elite is ...Well ...well ARGHHH

HighDefinition6022d ago

The hardest platnium to get is WIPEOUT HD.

The hardest game to 100% (it doesn`t have a platnium) is PAIN.

PAIN has some of the most unattainable trophies it`s crazy, the only way you`ll get some of them is by random chance/luck.

Ravage276022d ago

and MotorstormPR if i have to add another.

agentace6022d ago

The 1 were you have to get every single badge is impossible because theres millions of em, and get 10000kills is a pain aswell

execution176022d ago

wages of conflict trophy on far cry 2?

lol jk its easy its just a waste of time getting it... wasted 18 hrs of my life getting that ONE bronze trophy

vhero6022d ago

Fight Night Round 4: XXL belt trophy is pathetic. They really ran out of ideas for trophys didn't they with this one? It really is next to impossible to get that trophy. Another reason why online gaming has destroyed part of the fun in gaming.

Sm0k3y_Bac0n6022d ago (Edited 6022d ago )

I didn't think KZ2 elite wasn't mega hard. Very difficult, but probs on a par with comleteing COD4 on veteren. Completing WAW on hardened is easy, and the only difficult mission on Veteren is heart of the reich. The new mirrors edge trophies are quite hard. And grind trophies aren't hard. They just take ages.

harv0526022d ago

that's the reason why online trophies should NEVER be time consuming...What happens when they drop support? Or what happens if the game doesn't do as well as first thought? Then it gets impossible to get some of the trophies. Far Cry 2 is a good example. Servers are so unreliable that 3/4 of the time, your stats doesn't even sync...Or like Madden recently, now this game is unplatinumable...(is that even a word hehe)

reaferfore206022d ago

I'd say Super Stardust HD. That game is hella hard.

Prototype6022d ago

They should add Socom to the list, people who play it like CoD or Halo will be lucky to get maybe 1-2 bronze

Insomnia_846022d ago

I started playing KZ@ on the hardest difficulty and stopped in chapter 3 I think, then I started COD:WAW on veteran and that game made me punch myself in the balls, I FINALLY finished it and when I went back to KZ2 it was much much easier, yes, F@%&*% COD:WAW is that hard!!

DARKrage346022d ago

Go spend 1000+ hours of your life and you might not come away with a Platinum.

WipEout HD:
I'm about to 'Beat Zico', but getting the 'Arcade Perfect' is near impossible...

Killzone 2:
I finally beat it on Elite booyeah! Visari's palace was INSANE.

Maddens Raiders6022d ago (Edited 6022d ago )

are ridiculous. I have a platinum in Motorstorm PR which was so addicting I just couldn't put it down, but I have over 400 hrs invested in WarHawk (with no plat) and completing KILLZONE 2 on elite will be a Mt. Everest moment for me. =)

edit: ^^^ darkrage34 I can only imagine what awaits me! I;m in Suljeva Village now (it's so freakin' hard) and haven't made it to the train.... I'm scared. xD

Hate_my_neighbors6022d ago

is harder to get then most of those.

FACTUAL evidence6022d ago

Demon's souls is not hard. It just requires a lot of farming(time). There is nothing really almost impossible, if you continue to farm souls, you'll eventually prevail.

jerethdagryphon6022d ago

how did you do visali square and any tips for getting past radecs guards him i can handle his goons give me problems, 2 missions left for elite ;)

gijsbrecht6022d ago

If you mean Visari Square at Elite difficulty; I had the same 'problem' and was stuck on there too for a while. I think I first used the turrets to wipe out the bulk of the higs. But to be honest it's kind of a blur right now. I had a lot of luck too I imagine. Just keep on trying.

Nikuma6022d ago

The key to beating Radec's guards is all in the Knife baby. Shoot beating Radec himself is all in the knife, though not really necessary.

HammockGames6022d ago (Edited 6022d ago )

@2.2

KZ2's last level or so on Elite can try your patience, but it's rewarding when you're finally done.

*** warning *** potential spoilers

To be honest, I don't remember every step I took in the inner sanctum. The knife works great on the first wave - just get up close the the barriers they jump over and stab each of them as they come down - they won't even see you until it's too late (sprint from one to the next). You might die a time or two, but this seems to work better than anything on elite. Upstairs is a lot tougher, and I don't remember every step I took. Knife the low level guard(s) and flamethrowing guards when you first run up the steps. Remember where the flamethrowers are dropped - you may want to make use of these later (Radec). Otherwise, make careful use of cover, use your rifle to take down the low level guards on the 1st floor and those that creep up the steps. Alternatively, you can unload a few grenades on the troops as they storm down the steps, just don't waste them all! You'll want to save some grenade rounds for the elite troops and knife anyone who gets close. If you use the sniper, save a little ammo for the last round of guards (rocket trooopers) and Radec.

Radec himself: A lot of folks used the knife on Elite. I prefer to light him up with the flamethrower and then switch to the pistol and unload on him until his flames nearly stop - then I light him up again. He can't attack while he's on fire, and this way you don't have to chase him (he will still warp around a small area, but he's easy to make out - just keep shooting the flames). Keep lighting him up when he stops burning and keep shooting while he's burning. If you run out of fuel, get away from him and snipe him (he may actually help you out here - much of the time when he's almost finished he'll warp across the arena just to get away). Eventually he'll retreat to the cheap seats and a sniper round or two will finish him off. Works beautiful on Elite.

Also, luck factors in. Hopefully Rico won't be a total dumb@ss for you, but that's really his only strength /s => he's not very helpful, and him failing will mean you get flanked. Keep an eye on "his half" of the upper level and take down whoever he misses (whatever it takes, knife, grenade launcher, etc).

IMHO there should be a trophy for not intentionally shooting Rico. It takes a lot of restraint not to.

Good luck mate.

mfwahwah6022d ago

Demon's Souls plat isn't as difficult as others. Beat the bosses is easy if you don't suck, and for all the items? Well, you can go online, trade, and as long as you've had the item in your inventory it counts. Not hard at all with teamwork.

Go play WipEOut HD and get trophies like Zone Zeus, Elite Campaign Legend, and Beat Zico, then you'll realize that there's no way to get them without pure ****ing skill.

Insomnia_846022d ago

Forget about the knife people!! BURN THAT MOTH3$%^&*@#!!! The last boss in KZ2 is the easiest of all. I saw a video on Youtube and everyone kept showing the way of the knife... until I run out of bullets and grabbed the first thing I saw on the floor and it was the flame-thrower, I went back to youtube to look for a vid showing that way and coudn't find it that was in 9-7-09. It's so easy that makes me think it's a bug.

DARKrage346022d ago

*Spoiler* warning maybe?

The hardest part is getting through the initial three waves of Helghast... by the time they start firing rocket launchers at you YOU GOTTA run the sh*t out of that place. After destroying them just BURN THE HELL outta Radec when you face him one-on-one...

Elite complete!

FACTUAL evidence6021d ago

The way you're saying that it's like you've never played KZ2 on elite have you?........It's not about getting to knife radec....the hard part is being able to get up to radec...try that on elite, you'll surely change your mind.

JBaby3436021d ago

I beat through a cheap and easy way. Just get in the back right corner (from the perspective of looking towards Visari's Room) and radec will warp 2 times then run at you. When he does shoot him and just before he gets to you he will stop and warp 2 times again and run at you again giving you the chance to shoot again until he warps again. He almost always warps to the same two spots also so it's very predictable. He goes from the door you came in at to the wall on the other side of you then back again. Staying in a corner is scary at first but then you realize you only have 90 degrees of area to cover instead of watching for him all around. I've beat him 3 times by this method. Hope it helps.

Marceles6022d ago

Harder trophies than these, but I have Beat Zico and Late Boomer. I haven't even attempted the other 3.

UnSelf6022d ago

it took me literally 1 yr to get Late Boomer. i did my 1st bakflip ever once i did

WildArmed6022d ago

beat Zeke was sooo hard..
i eventually gave up on that game.
I was always a sec or two behind..
>.>
Late Boomer took hella long time.
The others aren't too hard. except that stupid boxing one

C_SoL6022d ago

It took me 30 minutes to get late boomer. No bull. Now BEAT Zico that's a whole other story.

MiloGarret6022d ago

I beat Zico, after a 100 tries or so (got a trophy for that too, yay), it's not that hard once you understand how you have to do and you learn to nail the timing.

I think Zone Zeus should be in Zico's place in that list, I cannot understand how people are able to do that... Impossible, impossible I tell you.

ThePistolWhippedDog6022d ago

KZ2 plat=have
Demon Souls plat=have
Bioshock plat=have
COD WAW plat=have

Bioshock was fairly easy just save lots and reload if you die & never use a vita-chamber. Its difficulty is blown out of proportion.

FACTUAL evidence6022d ago

I have all those plats as well. But there is a simpler solution to the no vita chambers, simple turn off vita chambers in options. After that just save your ass off...I'm not going to lie, that "i chose the impossible" almost had me when i was going to become a big daddy. I had already gone up the elevator, with 1 hit left and no healings, And the 2 flying bots shoots at you. I did some major skills to pass that part, there was no way i was going to restart from the beginning.

ThdeGreatestOne6022d ago

Damn, I remember trying to get the Sum of all Zeroes for World at War, it honestly pissed me off so much, I found it harder to get than the Veteran Trophies for the game. I also think the LittleBigPlanet trophies are hard to get.

StarScream4Ever6022d ago

Its not hard as it is. Just shoot zeroes when they first spotted in clusters then when hit the water DO NOT RESCUE ANY SURVIVORS. Just fire away and you will hear the "ding" :D

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle75d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7783d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga83d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199283d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga83d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman82d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger83d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box83d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion82d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7283d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7583d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit83d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14983d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7783d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
