Platinum Jak II in 5 Minutes

[PhantomFear94]

Introduction:

So as rumours have circulated, it's true - you can earn the platinum for this in 5 minutes. 

 

I TAKE NO OWNERSHIP OF FINDING THIS METHOD OR MAKING THE GUIDE FOR THIS METHOD.  I'm simply distributing the information within a community who will appreciate it.

FULL Credit goes to IBadDriver, who has uploaded a video guide on his youtube channel His channel is great for trophy hunters anyway, so I recommend subbing him.

 

2nd Controller Note :

Please note you WILL need a 2nd controller.  You can't do the collectible unlocks without it.  

 

Steps:

1) Load the game.

2) On the home menu, type in the following cheat code with the face buttons and D PAD (hold L3 down the entire time) - Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left Right, X, X, Square, Circle, Square, Circle.

3) In the main menu, an option "Secrets" should now appear.

4) If so, whilst still on the home menu, type in the following cheat code the face buttons and D PAD (hold L3 down the entire time) - Circle, Square, Circle, Square, X, X, Right, Left, Right, Left, Down, Down, Up, Up

5) Start a new game and skip the opening cutscene

6) When you can move, pause the game (touchpad), hover over missions and hold L2 and R1 at the same time to alter pause menu options

7) Go to secrets in the pause menu > level select > "Destroy Metal Kor at Nest" (Very last level).   Load it, and you should unlock a whopping 33 story related trophies.

8) The next step requries a second controller (you can literally sign in as a guest, so no need to set up a second account).  Turn it on, sign in (profile or guest) and press L3 and X at the same time.   This will unlock all collectible trophies, of which there are 6

9) You should only be missing 1 more trophy and subsequent platinum.  Go to main menu (pause menu didn't work for me, did in IBadDriverI's video) and to Secrets > Scene Player Act 3 > The Celebration (Very Last Scene).  Load it, and you should unlock your final trophy and platinum at the start of the cutscene. 

 

Final Thoughts:

There's nothing dodgy about this method, so don't worry about using it - it's just cheat codes and questionable trophy coding.   i

 

This method obviously cheeses the platinum for a very good game.  If you want to earn it legit, do so, but I hope there isn't shaming in this comment section for people who wish to use this as, if you're like me, you might have a ton of games to play in your backlog and little time.   Personally, I'm going to go back and play this masterpiece for fun anyway and strongly recommend you do the same.

 

Hope this is of use!

Only mods like @Parker or @Stevieboy can delete threads. Of course that original thread is in the forum for the first game so maybe a thread in the Jak 2 forum won’t matter as more people might see it.

I'll just lock this. People can still see the info here, but can discuss it in the other thread that you linked.
