I have to imagine that these folks have already played the game on alt accounts or something. If you are already familiar with the puzzle solutions and can complete the speed runs on your first playthrough then it is completely possible to earn the platinum in less than an hour.

Riksa-97 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 The cyan gem problem can actually be avoided by dropping the red gem within the maquette using the smaller versions of the gems! I had no problems doing it this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HusKy Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 If I want to make my first playthrough completely blind, is there a way to optimize my run for cleanup? Since there is no chapter select, perhaps creating a save file at the beginning of each level or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you can have up to three manual saves, which is just enough for the missable trophies. The missable trophies occur in the chapters "Maquette", "The Gateways", "The Spiral", and "The Exchange". As Maquette is only the second Chapter and the first chapter is super easy, I'd recommend making saves at the start of: The Gateways - Chapter 3 The Spiral - Chapter 6 The Exchange - Chapter 7 That way, you can enjoy your blind playthrough, safe in the knowledge that you can get back to those levels for cleanup with ease You'll still need to do your speed-run as a single playthrough, but if you get the missable trophies first then you can start using one of your manual save slots to save at the start of each speed run and then reload the save if the trophy doesn't pop. I hope that helps 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barra333 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I will likely follow this approach. I feel cheap if I use a guide on the first playthrough of puzzle games (except FEZ, that game is 500/10 difficulty without a guide). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played through it slowly first learning everything and then made a guide for it in one full run which in turn got me my 32min plat. I haven't posted my guide on this site, as there's already plenty. Edited March 5, 2021 by Riszcky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darktore Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Boh me when I pause, in the end the trophy does not unlock, so I'm not sure if the pause stops the timer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started it this morning and had the platinum in just under 5 hours. The only trouble I ran into was the speedrun on Gateways. The cyan gem tends to glitch out pretty badly which causes a lot of lost time so it took me a few attempts. I recommend you make a manual save at the start of every chapter you attempt to speed run because if you don't get the trophy you'll have to restart the game, there's no Chapter Select. You can find my full Trophy Guide here: https://platget.com/guides/maquette-trophy-guide/ It includes video guides for the 4 missable trophies as well as the 7 speed run trophies. Best of luck!

There are several in-game glitches that can shorten your playtime by a significant amount. If you go on YouTube you can find videos showcasing some of them.

apw5029 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 My method for the speed runs was to hold the home button instead of pausing. I can confirm that the trophy popped for me using this method, despite spending a ton of time on the PS Home Screen while watching the videos. Hope it works for all of you too! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrlolol Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I used your video guide to get my platinum, and I paused it the entire time while watching your video for a minute or so at a time. Play a little, pause it to watch video, play some more. I got the trophies all on my first playthrough except for one where I was too slow because I couldnt quite make that Z pattern quickly enough on second to last chapter. The only trophy that glitched for me was in the last chapter for making it into owl room on first try. I did it 3 times before the trophy popped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a good week Mate your guide is amazing!!! got the plat yesterday btw I wanted to mention that on The Spiral, the part when you repair the broken bridge can be glitchy had to replay it on my speedrun cause of that, wanted to tell you to make your guide even better! Though I would wait until more people tell you the same, perhaps it just happened to me, thx again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopSmoke79 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I have read and confirmed that when you’re on the title screen and hold the left D-Pad and press L1 five times you get a chapter select. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the inconsistency of this, I've updated the guide with instructions to try to avoid pausing the game, but I also mentioned our discussions and included a link to this forum post. Given the fact that I've been asked a few times, in a few different places, whether pausing stops the timer, I have to assume that others have tried to complete speed runs while pausing and have been unable to unlock trophies, just as we were in our tests. My only remaining theory is that a glitch is causing the inconsistencies and that a patch may fix this in the future. If anybody else reading this post has any experience with this issue, please reply and share your experience to hopefully help others who are also looking for answers. I can confirm that pausing the game does not pause the timer , I've been testing this method more than 3hrs and it didn't unlock the trophy .
