Introduction

Welcome to the Sackboy: A Big Adventure Trophy Guide! As undoubtedly one of the best platformers of 2020, the story follows Sackboy who embarks on an adventurous yet perilous journey to rescue his friends from the clutches of the evil Vex. It is up to Sackboy to defeat Vex and bring peace back to the world.

The good news is that you don’t need to 100% the game to earn the Platinum. You still need to collect most Dreamer’s Orbs (275 to access all levels), but not all of them are needed to progress through the story, let alone 100%ing the game. Most trophies are instead tied to killing minions a certain way and to the multiplayer side of the game. You can still earn the Platinum through local couch co-op or via online Shareplay (PS+ required for Shareplay method and both players must own the game). If you choose to use Shareplay, remember that the trophies will unlock only for the host, so if your friend wants to unlock the trophies as well, you’ll have to do everything twice.

Step 1: Play through the Story

The story takes place in Craftworld. Craftworld has 5 different worlds: The Soaring Summit, Colossal Canopy, The Kingdom of Crablantis, The Interstellar Junction, and The Center of Craftworld. There’s also one additional Bonus world, The Wonderplane, which unlocks after defeating Vex for the final time. Each world has close to 10 levels, including up to two multiplayer ones, a Knitted Knight Trial (Time Trial) and up to a couple of a Remix levels (the most challenging levels in that world played from end to start and on a timer). During this step, simply focus on enjoying the levels (they’re lots of fun) and collect as many Dreamer’s Orbs as you can. As you play, you will naturally unlock a bunch of combat-related trophies and miscellaneous ones.

Step 2: Trophies Clean-up and the 300 Costume Pieces Grind

During this step, focus on any combat-related or miscellaneous single-player-only trophies you’re still missing. Additionally, you might want to clean up any remaining Prizes as part of your journey to 300 Costume Pieces. You probably left some Dreamer’s Orbs behind as well. As soon as pick something up in a level, you can quit to the hub. No need to finish it.

Step 3: Multiplayer Trophies

These trophies can still be unlocked either through Shareplay or local couch co-op with a 2nd controller. Simply team up with a friend to get them all. If you don’t have a friend to play the game with, remember that you can play online (via Shareplay and must have PS+ subscription), for :bronze: “Up high!” and :bronze: “Fun Multiplied”. Technically, you could even unlock them solo with a second controller, but it’s very unnatural and little fun. While these two trophies can be technically unlocked solo with a second controller, you require some dexterity handling two controllers at the same time. This makes the gameplay experience a bit unnatural and little fun. Our advice is to find a friend to help you locally via couch co-op or online.

Step 4: Wonderplane’s Ultimate Challenge

Time to take on the hardest trophy of the game trophy String It Together. Check the related trophy description for more information. After this, the Platinum for Sackboy: A Big Adventure will be yours! Congratulations!

As you play through each level, including Knitted Knight Trials and Remix ones, you will collect Dreamer’s Orbs. Getting all Dreamer’s Orbs in a level will add a new sticker in your collection. The earliest you can unlock this trophy is in the third world, The Kingdom of Crablantis, when you can play the secret levels from the first world, The Soaring Summit, and 100% it.
Squired Up
Discover the Trials of the Knitted Knights.
Automatic story-related unlock, cannot be missed. This will unlock at the end of the level called Ready. Yeti. Go. from The Soaring Summit world.
Out of bounds
Pick up and throw 30 of Vex’s minions to their doom.
To pick up and throw a minion out of bounds, you first need to stun it by pressing :circle: and perform a roll in its direction. Then, once stunned, pick it up with :r2: and approach any platform edge. From here, release :r2: to cast it out of bounds. This trophy may not unlock naturally. A good level to farm this is Blowing Off Steam from The Soaring Summit world. Here a lot of minions will spawn during the first train section. Once no more minions spawn, hit Options-Button :opt: to replay the level.
Pop ‘n’ Lobber
Defeat 30 of Vex’s minions from a distance.
The only ways to kill minions from a distance are with the Whriltool or the Plasma Pumps, two weapons you get during certain story levels (unmissable). This trophy may unlock naturally, but if you need a level to farm this in, the easiest one is the second level of the Colossal Canopy world called A Cut Above the Rest. Simply spam the Whirltool whenever you see a minion. Replay the level if need be.
Multitasking
Defeat multiple minions simultaneously 10 times.
This will unlock naturally over the course of your adventure. An easy place you can farm this is the second level of the Colossal Canopy world called A Cut Above the Rest. Simply spam your Whirltool to kill multiple minions at the same time. Replay the level if need be.
Bounder
Defeat 30 of Vex’s minions by bouncing on them.
Self-explanatory. Over the course of your adventures you will come across many enemy types. For this trophy, simply defeat 30 by jumping on them. This trophy will unlock naturally.
Stunner
Stun 30 of Vex’s minions.
To stun a minion, press :circle: to perform a roll in its direction. While this may unlock naturally, a good level to farm this should you need to is Blowing Off Steam from The Soaring Summit world. Here a lot of minions will spawn during the first train section. Once no more minions spawn, hit Options :opt: to replay the level.
Fashionista!
Complete your first Costume.
As you collect Prizes and Bubbles throughout the leves you play, you will eventually unlock your first complete Costume. This should unlock quite naturally if you are consistent with collecting Prizes and Bubbles.
Re-Mix-Master
Earn a Gold rank in any Remix level.
Remix levels are a type of Time Trial levels. What’s particular about these levels is that they’re the hardest levels of that world, but you need to play them from the end to start while on a timer. The first and easiest one unlocks after beating Treble In Paradise from The Soaring Summit world. Just earn a Gold rank to unlock this trophy.
Knights of Gold
Earn a Gold rank in any Knitted Knight Trial.
At the end of level 3 “Ready. Yeti. Go” in The Soaring Summit world, you will collect your first Knightly Energy. This unlocks your very first Knitted Knight Trial (automatic story-related unlock, cannot be missed). These are time-trials. The first Knitted Knight Trial is the easiest. Just earn a Gold rank there to achieve this trophy.
Cut it out!
Complete Highs and Glows… without throwing the Whirltool.
This trophy can be earned in the level Highs and Glows of the third world The Kingdom of Crablantis. In this level, you’ll notice that there are some jellyfish-looking creatures hanging in mid-air. Once you hit or jump on them, they reveal platforms you can use to progress through the level. While the game would want you to use your Whirltool on them, for this trophy you must not. Instead, if you time your roll and jump, you can easily bounce off of them and still reveal the platforms to continue on. It is advised to go for this trophy on a separate run for the level as you will need the Whirltool for the Dreamer’s Orb in the ? area.
Slide Away
Over the course of your adventure, collect 3000 points while sliding.
This will unlock naturally over the course of your adventure, so don’t worry about it.
Bubble Binger
Collect a full chain of Timed Score Bubbles 30 times.
Over the course of your adventure, you’ll come across several Bubbles you can collect. One kind will activate a chain of several Timed Score Bubbles. For this trophy, you need to collect all spawning Bubbles before they despawn 30 times. This trophy should come naturally as you play through the levels.
Gymnastic Fantastic
While in the air, perform four actions before touching the ground.
This can be easily achieved as soon as you start controlling Sackboy in the first level, A Big Adventure, from The Soaring Summit world. Perform a flutter ( :x: , then hold :x: while in the air), then press :square: , :triangle: , and :circle: in quick succession. If done correctly, Sackboy should flutter, spin, nosedive, and dodge before touching the ground again.
BEE! ARGH! BEE!
Pick up, and hold on to, a Boomblebee Hive for 60 seconds.
For this trophy, you need to pick up and hold on to a Bumblebee Hive for a whole minute. The first opportunity to do this is in the level Having a Blast from The Soaring Summit world. Shortly after the beginning of the level, you should see a hive out of which bees are coming out. Simply grab it and walk around for an entire minute for this trophy to pop.

When you get to the scoreboard (the screen at the end of the level where you can see which Goals you have achieved), you must have collected more Bubbles than the second player.

Naturalist
Find all of Gerald’s secret spots.
Gerald’s secret spots are hidden areas only found in some levels. Usually these areas are off the intended level’s path or in ? areas. When you find him, you need to either hit him or save him from minons. Doing so will net you a Dreamer’s Orb. Below is a list of all the 9 levels in which you can find Gerald.

  1. Level: Have You Herd / World: The Soaring Summit: he can be found right at the start of the level.
  2. Level: Sticking With It / World: Colossal Canopy: he can be found in a hidden area near one of the checkpoint halfway through the level.
  3. Level: The Home Stretch / World: Colossal Canopy: he can be found in a hidden area to the right of one of the checkpoint halfway through the level, before some pads you need to body-slam on.
  4. Level: Bubble Jeopardy / World: The Kingdom of Crablantis: halfway through the level, you’re supposed to traverse downwards using some bubbles. Instead, jump upwards until you see a ? door on your left. Enter this area to find Gerald.
  5. Level: Electro Swing / World: The Kingdom of Crablantis: after crossing through the first zipper door, look up and to the left and you should notice a grapple point. Hook on it and swing to the secret area where Gerald is waiting for you.
  6. Level: Boot Up Sequence / World: The Interstellar Junction: next to the final checkpoint is an antenna. Hover over to the secret area on the right to find Gerald.
  7. Level: This Way Up / World: The Interstellar Junction: halfway through the level, you should see a yellow path going down. Destroy the screw to reveal a ? zipper door behind which is Gerald.
  8. Level: Keep It Tidey / World: The Center of Craftworld: at the start area, you’re supposed to collect 5 keys to proceed. From the pillar on the left with the key, hover and circle back around to the secret area on the right.
  9. Level: Doom Bloom / World: The Center of Craftworld: at the very end of the level, before stepping on the scoreboard to end it, look to the right to see some spinning platforms. Jump on them to make it to a ? zipper door. Inside the area is Gerald waiting for you.

There you go. These are all Gerald’s Secret Locations in Sackboy: A Big Adventure.
Player’s Player
Find and pick up every fish, paintbrush and cocktail umbrella on your journey.
In some levels, you can find a fish, a paintbrush or a cocktail umbrella, usually hidden somewhere off the beaten track. Below are the 8 levels and the exact locations for each one of them. For the trophy, you just need to pick them up. No need to finish the levels with them.

  1. Level: Keys to Success / World: The Soaring Summit: pull the roots in the upper left-hand area of the level. This will reveal a fish.
  2. Level: Sticking With It / World: Colossal Canopy
    Right next to Gerald’s area, in the middle, is an orange balloon. Destroy it to reveal a paintbrush.
  3. Level: A Matter of Factory / World: Colossal Canopy
    After crossing the second zipper door, you should see a small door you can roll into that will carry you to an upper area with an egg. Destroy the egg when the pointer is on the sword to reveal a cocktail umbrella.
  4. Level: Monkey Business / World: Colossal Canopy: when it starts raining, you’ll eventually hop onto two big-mouthed monsters. The fish sits right after them.
  5. Level: The Struggle is Rail (secret level) / World: Colossal Canopy: at some point through the level, you’ll have to jump on some moving vehicles that will help you reach a checkpoint. Instead of going for the checkpoint, look towards the bottom of your screen when the vehicle you’re on is about to disappear. Here is a platform behind which is a cocktail umbrella.
  6. Level: Touch and Go / World: The Interstellar Junction: at the very start of the level, hop to the left to grab a battery. Now, throw the battery to the opposite platform and plug it into the hole on the ground. Body-slam on it to drop a crate with the cocktail umbrella in it.
  7. Level: Crate Expectations / World: The Center of Craftworld: halfway through the level you’ll come across two explosive balloons near a rocket-launching minion. Get rid of the minion the first, then use the explosive balloons to destroy the crates on top of the radio nearby. Once they’re all destroyed, a new smaller crate will drop down. Here you have to be quick at throwing an explosive ballon at the crate before it drops down out of bounds. Inside is a cocktail umbrella.
  8. Level: Trial By Fire (Knitted Knight Trial)
    Immediately after crossing the first set of fire traps, you’ll find this cocktail umbrella on a platform above some jumping platforms.

Here you go. These are all the cocktail umbrella, fish, and paintbrush locations in Sackboy: A Big Adventure.
Amazing Ace
Ace 30 levels by completing them without dying.
One of the Goals you can achieve in any level is acing them, i.e. completing it without dying. Complete any 30 levels without dying to get this trophy. Knitted Knight Trials and Remix levels count too.

In multiplayer mode, earn 10 Ace level goals.
The easiest and fastest way to unlock this trophy is with a second controller:

  1. Create a Guest user on your console.
  2. Go back into the game and join the first player’s game by pressing :x: on the second controller when prompted.
  3. Complete any 10 story levels without dying while using the first player’s controller. As the first player goes through the level, the second player will get teleported around to catch up. You can also replay levels you’ve already aced.

Alternatively, you can unlock this trophy while playing with a friend, either through Shareplay, couch or online coop.
Walk-in Wardrobe
Fill your wardrobe with 300 costume pieces.
This will be the most time-consuming trophy. For this trophy you need to collect a total of 300 Costume Pieces for your wardrobe which corresponds to a total of 84% in your Adventure Stats. Except for Knitted Knight Trials and Remix levels, Costume Pieces are found in all levels and some are given to you as a reward for earning Gold rank in the levels. Some Pieces can only be bought at Zom Zom’s. If you need Collectabells, the fastest and easiest way to collect them is in Zom Zom’s levels which respawn from time to time.
Master of One
Get a golden level badge by completing all the Level Goals for a single level.
See trophy :silver: Multi-Master
Multi-Master
Achieve all the level goals for 10 different levels.
In each level you can achieve different Goals. One Goal can be achieved for getting all Prizes within a level, another one for completing it without dying. There’s also one more Goal, only found in certain levels, which can be achieved if you collect their Knightly Energy. Knightly Energies are used to unlock Knitted Knight Trial levels. For this trophy, even Time Trial levels (Remix and Knitted Knight Trials) count.
Best Friends Forever
Teamed up to take down the Topsy Turver.
The easiest and fastest way to unlock this trophy is with a second controller:

  1. Play Vexpiration Date found in The Center of Craftworld world in single mode. When Vex is about to die during the very last boss fight, hit :opt: to pause the game.
  2. Create a Guest user on your console.
  3. Go back into the game and join the first player’s game by pressing :x: on the second controller when prompted.
  4. Finish Vex off while using the first player’s controller. Trophy unlocks.

Alternatively, you can unlock this trophy while playing with a friend, either through Shareplay, couch or online coop.
Wonderplane Workout
Mop up those last messy bits of Uproar that are lurking about.
After beating Vex for the final time, you will unlock a new world called Wonderplane. Play through the 5 levels here to unlock this trophy.
Golden Boy
Earn Gold on the scoreboard in 50 different levels!
To earn a Gold rank on the scoreboard, you need to collect a certain amount of Bubbles. Bubbles are scattered across all levels. There’s more than 50 levels in the game, so you can choose to leave out any you find pesky.
String it Together
Get a Gold on the Wonderplane’s ultimate challenge!
This is, without a doubt, the most challenging trophy in the game. To unlock this trophy, you need to play through The Ripsnorter, i.e. ALL Knitted Knight Trials one after the other in one single challenge. You must play through this trial in one single sitting and earn the Gold rank without dying. The Gold rank is earned if you finish all Knitted Knight Trials in less than 10 minutes.

Here’s a few tips and tricks to make it easier for you:

  1. Roll, roll, and roll again. Rolling is the fastest way to move in this gam. Go to Game Assists in the Settings and set Roll to hold. Your hand will thank you.
  2. Flutter to defy gravity.
  3. You can cut corners.
  4. Time bonuses aren’t always worth it.
  5. Try to chain as many moves together as you can to make it over otherwise impossible gaps.
  6. You can time your start as the clock doesn’t start until you cross the starting line.
  7. You’re allowed to pause the game to take a breath if you need to. Time will stop.
  8. You’re allowed to slow down at least one or twice. During the last section, there are a lot of time bonuses you can pick up that bring down the time.

As with any platform challenge, this comes down to practice and muscle memory for the most part.

  1. A little confused on the wording — can the platinum be achieved with local co-op only, or do we need to use Shareplay currently? Or is it meant that as an online method Shareplay is the only path currently? Great guide otherwise!

    • It’s doable entirely offline.
      Shareplay is just an alternative if you have no friend available to help you with couch co-op locally.
      Two trophies “Up High!” and “Fun Multiplied” are tricky to do offline by yourself using 2 controllers so you will likely need another person physically present to help in couch co-op. If you have nobody who can help offline, Shareplay is an alternatively to find an online player for help.

    • I’ve done two player trophies that are tricky to do solo before. I’ll at least attempt it before I try a share play session.

    • I’m not certain as Powerpyx hasn’t replied to my comment yet but I’m pretty sure you can just get them locally with couch co-op.

    • Several people on PSNP confirmed the trophy can be done offline, so if you have a second controller, go for it.

  3. The creators of the game said the game is fully obtainable offline. So not sure why PS+ is required for those two trophies if you can get both locally.

    Reply

    • PS+ is only required if you opt to do them via Shareplay.
      If you do them offline locally it is not. Platinum is completely obtainable offline.

  4. Hey Powerpyx,
    Two things:
    – As the above user MidnightDragonDX said, can I complete all the multiplayer trophies with my brother in couch co-op rather than shareplay and PS+?
    -Will you/your friend complete this guide before you start on GodFall? I’m hoping to go for platinum starting today.

    Thanks as always

    • The easiest and fastest way to unlock this trophy is with a second controller:

      1. Create a Guest user on your console.
      2. Go back into the game and join the first player’s game by pressing :x: on the second controller when prompted.
      3. Player one must now play through the level and collect at least one Collectabell more than player two. This is most easily achieved if the second player does nothing throughout the entire level. As the first player goes through the level, the second player will get teleported around to catch up. Collectabells can be found in pots and by destroying screws and sometimes by killing minions.
      4. Complete the level.
      5. Repeat for 19 different levels. This doesn’t seem to work on the same level.

    • Works on the same level for me on that level you get the 5 keys and guest account got it while grinding a few levels at the beginning.

  6. Quick update (which should also answer some questions above):
    – The author (my friend who wrote the guide) had initially classified 2 trophies as online “Up high!”” and “Fun Multiplied”. While these are not feasible by yourself solo, it is possible to get them offline if you have a 2nd player physically present to help you in couch co-op. These have been reclassified as offline trophies. Therefore, it is indeed viable to platinum the game entirely offline. The alternative (as was already in the first draft) is to play Shareplay Online, if you have no friend who can help offline locally.

    • Thank you so much PowerPyx!!! Your guides are amazing and you have helped me secure so many platinum trophies over the years. You. Are. Awesome.

  8. How long until the list for Naturalist and Player’s Player are up and Best Friends Forever still lacks a description.

    Reply

    • Hi MidnightDragonDX I don’t know about the Naturalist and Player’s Player trophies but I have an answer for the Best Friends Forever one: I asked a player from PSN profiles (who had achieved the trophy) and this was their response: “You get it by defeating Vex’s final boss level with another player. Local 2 second controller works fine no online needed. As long as its 2x players.”

      Hope that helps.

  9. Is the Beast of Burden trophy potentially glitched? I completed the entire level with my extra controller on and a Sackboy above my head in under 40 seconds twice and the trophy didn’t pop either time. Is it possible that since I had already earned it on this particular level (level 2) that it won’t work. Does it have to be your first time getting the gold?

    Reply

    • I did it again on level 3 – on which I had not yet achieved the gold – and it worked and I got beast of burden. Is it possible that this trophy is then missable?

    • I believe you are right on it being missable. I did trial 2 and 3 but did not work so I had to do the 7th trial as i did the rest before to get the trophy.

    • This trophy seems kind of glitched. Made on level 2 (which I already had gold) and it did not worked.

      It only worked when I keeped R2 pressed until the trophy poped-up, even before the game let the other player go.

  10. If you have a ps4 you can remote play the ps5 and use the ps4 controller as a second one for the multiplayer trophies

  14. For the trophy Walk-in Wardrobe

    the best way to make bells is from doing mini bosses, my favorite to do which is The Ruffled Ruffian in world 3 you get about 200 bells everytime.

    if you are playing multiplayer be sure you are dealing the last hit.

  16. For the Book of Dreams trophy, I am missing just one sticker in Soaring Sommer but it says I’ve got 48/48 orbs. I’ve played the secret levels in Kingdom of Crablantis but it seems like I’m still missing three orbs in that level. I’ve only got two levels, do I have to unlock another one? Where do I unlock the last one?

    Reply

    • Same here. I got all 48 orbs in Soaring Sommer (also those from the hidden levels) but still missing 3!!! stickers. Also aced every level and picked up all the stickers. I do not know what else to do. Can somebody help?

    • Pay attention to
      “Go to The Kingdom of Crablantis, when you can play the secret levels from the first world, The Soaring Summit, and 100% it.”

  18. I just can NOT for the life of me complete The Ripsnorter trial for “String It Together!” I have tried countless times for what feels like 8-10 total.

    Reply

    • I’m in the process now for trying to get it done. I got upto spikes this evening for the first time. My plan is to now practice spikes and learn its pattern save time re running the whole thing to get there everytime and just die. Had to practice crabs separately now I can pass it more comfortably. Keep at it friend your get it done. Just remember to roll add it into jumps help you distance.

    • If it makes you feel better, it took me 3 days, and about 25-30 hours of trying before I finally got it. Would have been earlier than that, but I literally died in the very final, supposed to be an easy relaxing stroll, stage. In true LBP fashion, I went to jump, and it did one of those stupid half jumps, and I fell to my death. I was so mad I was shaking haha

      Hopefully you got it by now!

  19. For some reason Player’s Player is just not unlocking. I went to every single location, picked up every single item and it still says 7/8.

    Anyone have this problem?

  20. Awesome guide Powerpyx and team! Quick note though;

    The trophies “Up high!” and “Fun Multiplied” CAN be achieved playing on your own with 2 controllers :).

  22. For “Stop! Thief!” it is much easier to use the level in the first world, The Key to Success. Simply take one character up to where the fish is located and there is a checkpoint spawn circle nearby so you don’t need to control the other character. Then go to where the fish is and tape down R2 on both controllers when standing next to the pull thingies, then press back on both controllers. Grab the fish, then hit that player. Easier with two people, but I managed it easy and quick enough and then you don’t have to be in a “new” level to spawn a trophy at the end

    Reply

    • *this assumes you may have already completed the “easier” levels prior to trying this. You could also, I assume, just start a new game after getting all other trophies, then you could do it on level 1.

  23. i dont know what happend but my pc flipped so the above comment can be deleted but my real question was do the trophies carry over if you start on ps4 and continue on ps5 or do you need to start earning them all again?

    Reply

    • PS4 and PS5 have different trophy lists. Trophies won’t carry over for now. The game will be updated later on to allow save transfers, but we won’t know until then if trophies will auto-pop or not. For now, your best bet is to start a new game on PS5.

  24. I’ll ask again (and hopefully my dumb computer won’t autofill anything):

    Is there a known method for farming the collectibells?

    Reply

    • The only method I saw online, which I used, was in the Crate Expectations level in World 5. Go to the spot in the level, about halfway, where the large greenish box with and enemy continuously spawn on a conveyor belt. Hit the box and kill the enemy over and over and over. Very boring, but you’ll get 3 bells every kill, sometimes the box will give some too. I sometimes would just warp between world 4 and 5 and run around the world map hitting the objects to get bells too. I had to get my % above 86 before the trophy finally popped.

    • I saw that area, but with ~7200 bells to collect in order to get all of the things I have left to get, that’s going to be a nightmare of a grind D:

      There’s another area I saw in the first world within the Ready Yeti Go level – speed run to the egg just in the beginning of the level, and I think it nets you 20 bells per run. I haven’t timed it yet, but it might not be the fastest method.

      I wish they did either didn’t make things so expensive or divvy out enough bells throughout the game so that it allows you to get everything without having to grind.

  25. I think there is a flaw in the breakdown list above by not specifying you need a SECOND controller to get certain trophies. I’m discovering the use of the second controller by reading the descriptions of the trophies.

    Reply

    • It’s mentioned several times in the Overview + Roadmap that everything can be done through local co-op (+in each Trophy Description where it’s relevant). But yes, a 2nd controller is required if you want to do it in local co-op, I added that detail to the Overview, so thanks for bringing it up 🙂

  26. Just wanted to say if you are coordinated enough and have flexible hands, you can do all of these trophies as a single person with couch co-op. The hardest part is the team level required to get the high five emote, but it can be done solo with some awkward positions to hold both controllers (I had to use my leg for one section to wedge a stick down). There are quite a few team levels that can be done simply by switching controllers quickly enough and don’t require that many simultaneous actions. Thanks for the guide. I have just the Ripsnorter left now.

    Reply

    • That bit where you have one player up high hitting buttons to extend platforms is kicking my ass. Got to the end once, threw the… errr… thing onto the platform but it rolled off. Too many failures is also going to cost too many points to be able to get the score for the emote too.

  27. A few more question: for the Best Friends trophy, is it 10 different levels or can it be the same level 10 times over? What if you’ve aced the level already? If it’s 10 different levels, it might be worth noting what the 10 easiest/fastest levels are to achieve this.

    Reply

  28. So I’m trying to get the Best Friends trophy, and it’s not registering any Aces. Is there something I’m doing wrong? I’m playing solo with two controllers.

    I do have 3/10, but it’s not progressing beyond that.

    Reply

  29. Is your rating of 3.5/10 and your time estimate for experienced LBP players? I’m an experienced gamer but this is my first sackboy game and I would not rate the ripsnorter a 3.5 nor the time required to platinum the game so low. I have already spent 50+ hours on this game and have spent hours per day over the past couple of weeks trying to progress the ripsnorter without success. When rating difficulty and time required you should put some game experience context to your responses, as completionists put trust in your ratings to determine whether to play. Is the rating how easy YOU found it or it is a rating to give people an indication of whether they can do it? Aside from this aspect, I found your guide useful, so thank you for creating it.

    Reply

    • Completely agree. The guide is very useful but the rating and approx time can be wildly different depending on skill. I’m at 40 hours and haven’t been able to beat Ripsnorter, getting as far as the spikes but failing there. Just finishing the level is a challenge never mind in 10 mins. I’m close to giving up as I’ve spent about 10 hours on that already. I have heard you can cheese it (sort of) but getting to the end – which is itself a challenge – then if you start to roll toward the finish line but before you do, pause the game and replay the level. The clock resets to 0:00 for the new run but Sackboy continues to roll past the finish line.

  30. Has anyone had their game stop at a screen that looks possibly like a rocket ship? My game will not progress no matter what buttons we push. We have uninstalled and restarted everything but game is stuck. Anyone run into this?

  33. Just finished the “String it Together:
    As someone who got Crash4 plat this game is nowhere near 3.5 difficulty. This time trial is crazy brutal and took me hours to get it right. I would gave the whole game a 3.5 but overall platinum would be a 6.5/7 minimum thanks to this trophy.

    No complaints on the rest of the guide it really helps out a lot! Thanks again

    Reply

  36. I think someone else mentioned it as well, but due to the “String It Together” trophy, this is nowhere near a 3.5/10 plat difficulty. It’s borderline impossible.

    Reply

    • I found that The String It Together trophy and challenge was quite easy, it just took some training to remember which location I needed to jump onto and when. I never once did the jump attack in air thing I have seen many people do. I only ever jumped and rolled, and found that keeping a path I picked myself was the best way to remember where and what to jump onto. By the end of the level, I got around 9 minutes, with collecting about 1/3 of the time bonuses before the ending part.

  37. I’m facing an issue where after beating Vex in the center of craftworld it supposed to show me wonderplane option via rocket menu but it doesn’t. Never see the credits. I’ve trying everything and it still be the same. I reinstalled it, change the language, play by joining a multiplayer, I’ve tried to access it by an activity card in my ps5, and nothing happened. It’s really frustrating bc I was working on my platinum trophy… Thanks Sumo, you screwed me.

  39. Me and my girlfriend have been playing the game together and getting the trophies on each others account. While i have managed to get all 3 orbs for the Ice Cave Dash Remix level and the first Knitted Knight trial, she is only getting 2 out of 3. We’ve also noticed that her times are not being saved for some reason. The respected trophies have still popped for her but just not the third and final orb.
    Has anyone had this issue and/or know how to fix?

    Reply

  40. Quick question for anyone that might know.

    To get the 100% for costumes, do you need to buy all of Zom Zom’s stuff (including the emotes) or do you get 100% without the emotes?

    I have everything done in the game, so I have to collect the bells from the Crane level farming (as it is the fastest I believe) and if I got to get the emotes as well as the costumes he sells, it’ll take roughly 8 more hours of boredom.

    Thanks in advance.

  41. The 4.5/10 difficulty rating is very misleading. It maybe true for experience platformer players, but the majority of players will find this a challenge. I’d say it’s at least 6/10. To get gold on the ripsnorter trial takes a lot of patience and practice. IMO the difficulty rating needs putting up. Or at least make a note that it may be skill dependant.

    Reply

    • There was an exploit for the ripsnorter challenge pre-patch that made the hardest trophy fairly easy.
      But with the exploit gone the trophy difficulty has indeed somewhat increased.

      I’ve changed it to “4.5/10 – 6/10 depending on your skill level with platformers”
      For someone who platinumed Crash 4 it would be a 4/10, for people who play platformers casually a 6/10 seems an agreeable rating.

  44. You can absolutely solo all of the multiplayer trophies with two controllers. I wish this was more clear. The final challenge is very tough, and much harder than trying to solo the multiplayer trophies. If you plan on platinuming it and think you can finish the final challenge, the multiplayer trophies are laughably easy to solo is comparison.
