The 8 Longest and Hardest PS5 Platinum Trophies to Get
Some Platinums have to be earned. Here are eight PS5 Platinum trophies that demand either a serious time investment, precise execution, or both at once. Each game has its full guide on Pathline, with a detailed roadmap so you don't waste time where it isn't needed, and don't miss a single missable trophy.
1. Crimson Desert, the absolute marathon
Pearl Abyss's open-world action-RPG is by far the longest Platinum on this list. Between 12 chapters plus an epilogue, Artifact farming and the 5 True Ending conditions to meet, this demands an investment on a whole different scale.
- Platinum time: 300-400h
- Difficulty: 6/10
2. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
All 79 Complete Edition trophies (base game + Hearts of Stone + Blood and Wine) fit into one unified list, but 23 of them are missable, including the "Isle of Mists" point of no return you need to plan around. One playthrough is enough, no New Game+ required, as long as you follow the roadmap closely.
- Platinum time: 100-150h
- Difficulty: 7/10
- Trophies: 79 (23 missable)
3. Monster Hunter Wilds
Zero missable trophies and total freedom in step order, but the "Eastward Wings" Platinum requires hunting 26 titanic monsters in both mini AND giant crown sizes, meaning 52 precise rare spawns to track down. The Twins method avoids most of the unnecessary farming.
- Platinum time: 75-100h
- Difficulty: 6/10
4. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
No missable trophies, everything stays accessible in the post-game through Episode 17. The difficulty here isn't mechanical, it's purely a matter of time: rebuilding every connection between the isolated colonies simply takes a while.
- Platinum time: 70-100h
- Difficulty: 4/10
- Trophies: 55 (0 missable)
5. Elden Ring
FromSoftware and George R. R. Martin's soulslike doesn't go easy on you: punishing optional bosses, relique givers you can't afford to miss, and 5 missable trophies that require cloud or USB saves to get all 3 endings without redoing everything.
- Platinum time: 60-100h
- Difficulty: 9/10
- Trophies: 42 (5 missable)
6. Lies of P
A gothic soulslike reinterpretation of Pinocchio, with 16 missable base-game trophies to watch for and one essential trap: never consume boss Ergo, trade it for the special weapons instead. The Overture DLC (11 trophies) stays 100% separate from the main Platinum.
- Platinum time: 50h+
- Difficulty: 8/10
7. Hollow Knight: Silksong
Team Cherry's demanding Metroidvania requires 3 separate runs with incompatible goals, a sub-5-hour speedrun, and a fight against "Grand Mother Silk" in cursed mode. Two critical missables (Pharloom's Welcome and Twisted Child) can ruin an entire playthrough if you don't plan for them.
- Platinum time: ~80h
- Difficulty: 9/10
- Trophies: 34 (2 critical missables)
8. Nine Sols
A Taopunk Metroidvania with Sekiro-style combat where mastering the parry is non-negotiable. The shortest game on this list by playtime, but one critical missable (paying off EVERY Shanhai 9000 robot for "Repurposed") spans the entire playthrough and doesn't forgive a single oversight.
- Platinum time: ~30h
- Difficulty: 8/10
- Trophies: 36
Final word
No shortcuts here: missables to plan for dozens of hours in advance, bosses that don't forgive mistakes, or simply hundreds of hours of farming. Every Pathline guide details the full roadmap, the points of no return, and the most efficient method so you don't waste time where it isn't needed.
