Guess who's back? That’s right, our epic heroes Ratchet and Clank! Returning after four years is a traditional Ratchet and Clank game, the final game in the "Future" series. Into the Nexus features a brand new concept unseen before, the ability to manipulate gravity with the new Gravity Tether. Playing through the arenas can also be quite nostalgic for old returning fans of the Ratchet and Clank series. The Platinum is not very difficult as even when playing the game on "Legend" difficulty, it's still easy.
Step 1: Complete the game.
Complete the game on Legend difficulty as the trophies in this game are stackable. If you do not want to play your first playthrough on Legend for whatever reason, feel free to choose the "Cadet" difficulty and come back to Legend once you are done upgrading all of your weapons and armor in a "Challenge Mode" playthrough. I say this because it will be much easier and faster as opposed to immediately playing on Legend but will overall make the time for a slightly longer. Do be advised that the Legend difficulty is not very difficult. Only the final boss may be a hassle but with some tips, he will not be too difficult. The Nightmare box makes completing this game a breeze through, as it is an over powered decoy device and works well against every enemy except for the final boss. Don't focus on any specific trophies in this playthrough, keep it short and simple. I advise you utilize any gun that you have and avoid purchasing the Plasma Striker, Mr. Zurkon, Vortex Grenade and the Netherbeast until the next playthrough. Especially try to purchase the Warmonger, as it is easily the second best weapon in the game after the RYNO VII. Make sure you switch the games control options to lock-strafe, as it makes the game much easier to both hit and dodge your enemies (jumping is the best way to dodge enemies). In this playthrough you should unlock:
Leap for Your Life
Thug Life
Sweet Justice
Shaky Truce
Into the Nether Region
Cross the Streams
A Walk in the Park
The Adventurer (If you choose to play on Hero or Legend)
The Legend (If you choose to play on Legend)
NOTE: Check the trophy guide below for more detailed instructions on how to unlock each individual trophy.
Step 2: Complete the game on Challenge Mode
Complete the game in "Challenge Mode". This mode will be available immediately after you complete the game on any difficulty. It will appear in the main menu. In Challenge Mode, you are able to reselect the difficulty, meaning if you already completed the game on Legend, select the difficulty to Cadet, and if you chose not to do Legend on your first playthrough, do it later after you collect every other trophy, as it will make Legend much more easier with the RYNO VII fully upgraded (the strongest weapon). Everything in this mode, except for your gadgets and vault keys, will transfer over into your new file. You will also be able to increase your Nanotech to a higher extent, level up your weapons to a higher extent, and purchase the Nether Armor. Featured in this mode is a chance to get up to ten times the normal amount of bolts you would get with the bolt multiplier. The more kills you get with out getting hit, the higher your bolt multiplier will be, however, if you get hit your multiplier will reset to 0. This is extremely convenient because in order to achieve the will need a little over 5,000,000 bolts to purchase everything. In this playthrough, Make sure with each and every new enemy you encounter, you scare him with the Nightmare box for the Your Worst Nightmare trophy. In this playthrough you should unlock:
Precious Metal
Greed
Your Worst Nightmare
The Show Off
NOTE: Check the trophy guide below for more detailed instructions on how to unlock each individual trophy.
Step 3: Complete all of the Cups in tournament, find all Gold Bolts, RYNO VII Plans, and vault keys.
In the same file that you completed Challenge Mode in, complete all of the tournament cups, including the Platinum Cup (although there is no trophy for the Platinum Cup, it is useful for levelling up weapons and earning bolts). That means once you complete the game again, do not create a new game, select Continue from the main menu. In order to acquire the Treasure Mapper, you must complete the Gold Cup. The Treasure Mapper will make collecting all Gold Bolts, RYNO plans, and vault keys easier. The reason being if you are in a planet where you have not found a certain collectable yet, it will appear on your map when you press the select button. You will need the RYNO VII plans due to the fact you will need to upgrade all 12 weapons in the game for the Up Your Arsenal trophy. In this step you should earn:
Thug Rookie
Thug Champion
Vault Cracker
Gold Rush
NOTE: Check the trophy guide below for more detailed instructions on how to unlock each individual trophy.
Step 4: Grinding; Purchase all weapons, level up all weapons to level 6, purchase all armor.
After collecting everything, head back to Kragg to begin upgrading your weapons for the Up Your Arsenal trophy, and to acquire bolts in order to buy each weapon and armor. I highly recommend you do both at the same time, as it will save a lot of time. Purchase the Nether armor last, as it is the most expensive item in the game. You should not be too concerned with dying. The goal is to not take damage so you can keep your bolt multiplier running. Also get the Exterminator trophy while you are at it. In this step you will unlock:
In Case of Zombies
Armored and Dangerous
Going Commando
Up Your Arsenal
Exterminator
NOTE: Check the trophy guide below for more detailed instructions on how to unlock each individual trophy.
Step 5: Complete Legend (If you have not done this yet):
Complete the game on Legend difficulty through a new Challenge Mode file. Now that you have acquired all the armor and weapon upgrades, this should be much easier especially because of the fully upgraded RYNO VII being extremely powerful. If you are doing this step then you should earn:
The Adventurer
The Legend
NOTE: Check the trophy guide below for more detailed instructions on how to unlock each individual trophy.
