How to get Platinum in 150 minutes (Platinum Walkthrough)

[Optinooby]

 

How to get the ALL trophies in under 3 hours, this is a FULL platinum walkthrough. I did this in 150 mins, but could be done a bit quicker! I know this isn't for every1, but here it is, and you could also use this to get OP, to FARM MONEY or could always follow STORY naturally for the story trophies!

 

 

 

----- BRIEF STEPS FROM THE VIDEO -----

 

- STEP 1 -

Begin on easy and turn the Auto-Chips on when asked. Make your way through the prologue until you reach the 1st boss after leaving the ship. After defeating it, stand in between the 6 barrels nearby, then hold R2 and press Up, Down, Up, Right, Left, Square, Circle, Triangle, Cross. When asked to save, choose yes and choose NOT TO say something to others.

 

- STEP 2 -

Use Chapter select and load Ch. 10-05_1 to get the trophy ONE BATTLE ENDS. Chapter select again and now load Ch. 10-05_2 and follow the objectives to pop A NEW BATTLE BEGINS (save your game after both endings).

 

- STEP 3 -

Now load Ch. 11-02, loot the chest and then head to the Resistance Camp. Sell certain items at the camp and then buy the Auto-Collect chip from Pop & Dev and equip. Now complete the current mission by hacking the required enemies, but hack ALL 6 required enemies, the 6th isn't required to complete the mission, but is required for this guide. Once done, loot the 2nd chest and warp to the Bunker.

 

- STEP 4 -

Farm the 4 x Chips+6 in the Bunker until you can sell for 100,000 (always keep best chip, lowest slot). Then buy ALL storage upgrades from dude up in the terminal. Now continue farming until you have enough to sell for 200,000, you NEED to keep your best Hijack Boost, Stun and Combust chips.

 

- STEP 5 -

Load Ch. 13-02, then go to Emil's first spawn spot and buy Overlock+3, Anti-Chain Damage+3 and Auto-Heal+3. Now warp to the Resistance Camp and keep save/reloading until Emil appears near the Camp. Once he does, buy Weapon Attack Up+6 x 4 and Exp Gain Up+6 x 2 from him (sometimes his rare shop appears, if so just save/reload again). Once done, equip the Exp Gain Up+6 x 2, Hijack Boost+6, Stun+6 and Combust+6.

 

- STEP 6 -

Now go and hack the robot with the gun arm on the broken highway, make sure he is unaware when you hack him so that you get the Remote Control option. Then while controlling him (he needs to be lv 58+), make your way to the golden bunny and kill it to shoot up to lv 34+. After, sell all unwanted stuff to the park vendor, unequip Exp Gain. Hijack Boost, Stun and Combust, then equip Auto-Heal, Ocerclock, Anti-Chain Damage and any autos/huds you had to unequip earlier.

 

 

- STEP 7 -

Save and then load Ch. 04-04: 2B, and complete the objectives until you get the WE AWAIT YOUR NEXT VISIT trophy. Now talk to Pascal, then leave/reenter the village and buy Medium Recovery x 50, Melee Attack Up (L) x 50 and Ranged Attack Up (L) x 50.

 

- STEP 8 -

Next save and load Ch. 11-07 and get FINAL WISH trophy. In the cutscenes following, choose to support A2 when asked to get the trophy TREACHEROUS BLADE. Activate the Forest Zone: Center access point, then load Ch. 06-05 and get THE MECHANICAL KINGDOM trophy.

 

- STEP 9 -

Save and warp to the Forest Zone: Center AP, then talk to the Canyon Machine and complete her sidequest to get the FIRST ERRAND trophy and to unlock her shop. Now use her shop to fuse Weapon Attack Up+8 from those WAU+6 x 4 we bought earlier. Equip the WAU+8 chip and your build is ready!!

 

- STEP 10 -

---Save/load Ch. 01-04_1 to get RESUSCITATED BODY.

---Now load Ch. 02-01: 2B to get VESTIGES OF PROSPERITY.

---Next load Ch. 03-04: 2B to get IT'S A HEALTHY BABY BOY.

---Now load Ch. 05-04: 2B to get CREATION AND INSURRECTION.

---Now load Ch. 08-01_1 to get RULER OF THE DEEP.

---Now load Ch. 08-01_2 to get THOSE WHO LOVE HUMANS.

---Now load Ch. 09-03_1 to get IRON SOUL.

---Now load Ch. 09-03_1 to get IRON SOUL.

---Now load Ch. 14-05 to get FAREWELL, PASCAL.

---Now load Ch. 16-04 to get JUSTICE.

---Now load Ch. 16-04 to get CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.

---Now load Ch. 17-09, choose A2 when asked and carry on to get BEAUTIFUL WORLD.

---Now load Ch. 17-09 again, but now choose 9S when asked and carry on. Choose to YES for them to survive when asked and during the true ending credits, NEVER choose to give up when asked. At the end of the true credits, you will earn LEAVING FOR THE NEW WORLD and THE MINDS THAT EMERGED.

 

- STEP 11 (final) -

Now load Ch. 13-01 and save your game once you spawn in, but NEVER overwrite, this is your ORIGINAL save. Now sell EVERYTHING except the OS CHIP and then save in each of the remaining 2 slots (don't overwrite that 1st original save you just made). Then talk with ball-sack head (Strange Resistance Woman), choose 'Request unlocking you know-what' and then buy what trophies you can (buying trophies auto-saves on your current slot). Afterwards, load the OTHER save you just made where everything was sold (NOT original). Once you spawn in back with all your money, overwrite the other slot which you just purchased the trophies on and then just repeat these last few steps until you have ALL the trophies!

 

Well done on your hard-earned platinum xD!!

Awesome guide! Shame this wasn’t discovered back a few years ago as this is helpful for those that want to get through the trophies quickly. Regardless it is a fun game and has an amazing story to which I think should be played naturally and you could always clean up the trophies via the in game trophy shop which I’ve never seen in any other games but nevertheless, an amazing guide ?

[Helyx]

I have this sitting in my summer to-do pile, so I'll check this out real soon. Thanks for the guide.

Yea it was discovered early this year by chance, but I can't help to think if it's something we should have discovered earlier. Apparently since Bayonetta 2, Platinum Games had said they are going to always include a cheat in each of their games going forward, where you input their cheat code in a certain manner for some sort of reward.

 

It was said there was still a undiscovered secret in Nier: Automata, and the secret in Bayonetta 2 was also performed in the prologue area. I'm surprised someone hadn't the knowledge of the facts I mentioned above and done a little experimenting!

 

Although Nier: Replicant was originally released before Bayonetta 2 and the mention of putting the cheat in every game, but the Remaster has just come out. Although a slim chance as the game itself is older, the Remaster may have a similar cheat somewhere in the early areas. I've not bothered to check myself but has me curious....

 

The Trophy Shop is very strange indeed.

 

Of course, some may wish to speedrun though and using this trick doesn't mean one has to avoid the story, they may decide to get platinum quick and then play the story without worry, or get OP and lots of money and then play the story, so many possibilites!! I just like to share the information

It's VERY quick m8! Seems like a great game though if you do decide to do story naturally.

Can this be used after blind playthough?

Sure, the Platinum requires 3 playthroughs, each are slightly diffetent though in terms of story

 

If u are planning to do 3 playthroughs blind first, this may not be off much help, but it will show you how to level to 99 quick, how to farm money infinitely and how to manipulate the Trophy Shop. 

 

Also shows you how to get the best stuff from the shops!! 

[ClearVHS]

Thank You, will now get this done, after one playthrough didnt finish more and this is perfect as im no longer familiar with the game.

Thanks for finding this. Will be using this once I start the game.

 

But what is the secret for Bayonetta 2? I have just started that game.

I dunno m8, havent played it myself, just read about it. 

 

Platinum games has a cheat code that mirrors its logo with the inputs or something. It was first utilised in Bayonetta 2, and they said will feature in all their games going forward I believe. 

 

I quick google should give u results

Hey, ive been going through your guide but stopped at the video at 36:19 as i can't figure out how to shoot like you do with the robot, i can only do a charge up laser or same ball shot but up into the air, do you remember what input to shoot like you do ?

That's it thank you.

[B1rvine]

I'll just add :

 

This game is really, really, really easy.  IF you're planning on playing for the campaign and story, you may as well just play normally. Very Easy is almost impossible to die on. After you complete the "real" ending, you have access to an NPC merchant who can sell you the remaining trophies with in game currency.

 

Meaning : Doing this method will actually take longer since you'd get all the story trophies naturally, and the extra hour spent for this exploit is easily slower than the NPC's shop.

 

( again, provided you're planning on playing for the plot / story )

I can see the game being very easy, byt are you sure such a way would actually be faster as easy doesnt equal fast...??? 

 

I only ask because depending how you go through the game, some enemies a little higher than you, although easy, can take a few minutes to defeat. And imagine all that time cumulating over a 20hr+ story!!! 

 

Now sure the exploit takes 30 mins or so (remember first 10mins are prologue which every1 does anyway), but you will be one shotting everything meaning NO drawn out battles or deaths/retries etc so in the long run, perhaps quicker!!! 

 

It may look longer at first glance if you are planning to play story naturally, but over the course of 20+ hours, a LOT of time will add up from what you have spent grinding, farming enemies, fighting tough enemies etc, a lot to throw in the mix

 

Being OP aka one-shotting everything actually saves a LOT of time, even if it takes 30 mins or so to do so. 

 

Imagine getting double XP from the get go as well!! 

 

With the levelling/money exploit anyway, I dont think any1 will be following the guide just for those, will mainly be for the full platinum!

Any idea why the Golden Bunny doesn't come alive for me ?

If you’re just playing for the platinum, this exploit will be much faster. But if you’re playing for the story, and replay after earning the plat, then “Very Easy” will likely be faster. You basically auto dodge everything. A few bosses might kill you, but that’s it. Having an OP character isn’t necessary. Nor are the steps in the exploit for misc non-story trophies since they’re given to you anyway at the end. 
 

I didn’t need to farm / grind once, or buy anything on my playthru.

I think sometimes it may bug out as 1 or 2 other have had similar problems, also not sure what level ur enemy is, but may want 58+. I think 57 may cut it a bit close in terms off damage dealt to the bunny to wake it.

 

Of course make sure everything is slotted/equipped correctly as well

Just to make sure but in the guide purchased attack up but didnt equip for this, is that correct ?

Well thats just it m8, when somebody plays through the game themselves, its very subjective on how exactly they will go about that. 

 

You didnt need to grind/farm once, but perhaps you were killing and collecting everything. 

 

Another player for example may jot explore and may run past most enemies and perhaps will find they may have to grind later or perhaps they will die more. 

 

Its great advice your giving and myaepf and others very much appreciate it so thanks

 

All im trying to do here is provide the absolute fastest/easiest way to platinum and I just provided some other options!

 

I honeslty dont like to get into the whole discussion of 'general roadmaps' or 'this is how I did it' as its too subjective with too many variables, I just like to provide info from an abaolute sort of as I them know its going to be more consistent, accessible and provides a foundation for anything else. Hope that makea sense

Yea thats right, It doesnt affect hacked enemy attack as I made a point of testing it

Ran into this issue just now. I followed the guide and initially the rabbit came to life but I was too slow on hacking it and it destroyed my robot. After going back and grabbing another robot, the rabbit wont wake up, even after removing other buffs to make room for damage modifiers.

 

It's not showing a damage number, so I'm definitely dealing some damage (if it shows zero damage, you're too low of a level), but after 10 minutes, there's no response (first trip to the rabbit took about 15 seconds to wake him up). I've given up for now, but I'll check back tomorrow and see if there's any change in its behavior.

Try to make sure your over 58 or over. I say in vid that 57+ is good as im sure that worked for me just cant recall for 100% after hearing these issues.

 

58 is good as I definitely remember doing at that level one time. 

 

It may be a kind of bug that occurs, but try 58 anyway next time. 

 

Very easy to mess up on the rabbit if you dont follow me exactly, quite a few players have been doing so as well xD, did myself to quite a lot during my practice
