How many playthroughs for the platinum?

[LoneSola]

I saw a playthrough on Youtube where the guy was playing on Normal and at the end he got both the Charted - Easy and Charted - Normal trophies...I'm currently playing on Easy as I thought you had to play through them all...is that not the case and should I switch to Normal?

Finishing the game on the harder difficulty unlocks the trophies for that difficulty as well as the trophies for the easier difficulties.You need to beat the game on hard to unlock crushing so, you need to beat the game twice. Once on hard and once on crushing.

You need to start a new playthrough if you want to change the difficulty. If you change it mid playthrough you wont get the difficulty trophy.

Minimum is 2: one on hard, one on crushing. The difficulty trophies stack but from what I remember you have to play on hard in order to unlock crushin dif.

 

Btw, if you have questions similar to this one in the future, you can check this webpage out and search for your desired game. It will give you a trophy guide and advice of how to approach it: http://www.playstationtrophies.org/

How far are you into the game? If you are far, I would complete the game on Easy then switch to Hard, which would unlock both the Hard and Normal trophies.

Couldn't OP change difficulty now, then use chapter select to go back and re-do the earlier levels on Hard, rather than have to start again from the beginning now? Crushing would be unlocked once all chapters have been completed on Hard.

 

I think you could do that on Golden Abyss, isn't Drake's Fortune similar in that way?

As the others say you need two playthroughts, I'd recommend the first one on Hard in order to unclock the Crushing difficulty.

When I first played it, I chose normal cause i didn't even know about trophies, what a jack

Two full playthroughs, and likely a third of sorts, as you'll probably need to chapter select to mop up collectibles and other trophies, which could be a few chapters or most of them!

Not in UC1, you can in 2 & 3 though. Guess they were trying to make the plat harder or something. Edited July 10, 2015 by feral611
