7 Embarrassingly Easy Platinum Trophies You Can Win in 30 Minutes

platinum trophies require a player to unlock every single trophy in a game it's such a hard thing to do that even andy circus is impressed when you get one congratulations on earning your platinum trophy that's quite an achievement well done um actually i think you'll find achievements are on xbox mr circus loved your gollum though platinums are supposed to be tough requiring hours of dedicated trophy hunting in fact some games are so stingy they don't even have a platinum trophy but not every game got the memo and not only have platinum trophies but have platinum trophies that are embarrassingly easy to get even weirder these platinums can be gained in less than half an hour what we've taken showers longer than that so be prepared to be unimpressed at anyone with these platinums as we look at seven criminally easy platinum trophies you can get in less than 30 minutes [Music] stormboy can best be described as the baby version of indy darling what remains of edith finch with its cute art style narration appearing on the screen in white text as you progress and separate gameplay sections within a walking sim it is vaguely reminiscent of the bafta award-winning game however in what remains of edith finch you play a different heartbreaking adventure every 20 minutes as you explore your old family home in stormboy you play as a little boy on a beach in australia looking after some pelicans via minigames like making a bird fly back and forth along a single line [Music] also edith finch doesn't have a platinum trophy and stormboy does and it can be won in a leisurely 25 minutes are you kidding me yup we're not sure what arbitrary sony rules stormboy managed to clear but stormboy has a platinum and not only that it also has some of the easiest trophies on playstation which includes seaside favorites like digging up 20 cockles [Music] drawing on the beach with a stick [Music] and staying underwater for as long as possible until you nearly drown not to mention the achievement you get for merely opening every mini-game after you've completed the story no wonder 92.2 percent of people who played this got the platinum however one reason it isn't at 100 might be down to the hardest trophy of all for us at least this is the one you get for spoiler alert seeing your adorable pelican friend mr percival gets shot out of the sky before saying a tearful goodbye to his sparkly ghost [Music] be ashamed of that super easy platinum but never be ashamed of crying over mr percival such a good bird [Music] slide tile puzzles are those little square plastic things you get in a christmas cracker and throw in the bin on boxing day so of course somebody made a video game of them slide spelt s-l-y-d-e in an attempt to trick playstation owners into thinking it might be a cool game is a 99p collection of stock photos that transform into randomized slide puzzles from 50 stock photos of astronauts to 50 stock photos of mountains there are so many pictures to ruin by turning them into the disappointing version of a jigsaw [Music] slide also has what is possibly the easiest platinum trophy on playstation for some reason all the trophies are just tied to points no need to play a minimum number of puzzles no bonus trophy for using the feature that lets you upload your own photo all you need to do is score 800 points on medium difficulty and you'll unlock every single weirdly militaristically named trophy seriously this is a slide puzzle game why is there a trophy called staff sergeant obviously the best way to win a slide puzzle is using a screwdriver to smash out and then replace all the tiles in the right order but seeing as we can't do that we're forced to resort to tactics like watching the tiles moving and trying to reverse those movements or doing sections at a time to make it a little easier only 88 points what okay fine you can try it fair and square or you can just key in the pattern that a bunch of people on the internet have already figured out platinum hunters online discovered that the way that the puzzles were randomized wasn't exactly well random instead they found that depending on what corner was missing after the picture is shuffled you can reliably type in the same button pattern each time and very quickly solve the puzzle for example if the top right corner tile is missing all players have to do is type in right right up right up left up left left down right down down right right up left up left up left down down down right right up left up left down right down left up up up right right right try saying that three times fast do it quick enough on medium difficulty and you can get every single trophy in one go meaning it's possible to net the platinum within two minutes of boosting up the game which is probably why 91.7 percent of slide players have it and why you shouldn't feel pleased about having it too plus someone at sony's probably not too pleased either back in 2017 a similarly designed sliding puzzle game called 5 star 1000 top rated was removed from the playstation store within 48 hours after its developer top rated design advertised it as the fastest platinum trophy on playstation which sony clearly thought was not quite the vibe and slide came out in 2018 released by a developer called top rated design huh what a co-inky think [Music] why did the chicken cross the road to distance itself from this next game chickens on the road is not a long lost follow-up to the doors hit riders on the storm instead it's a terrible looking game whose chicken models answered the question what came first the chicken or the egg with why not both in what sony generously calls a game you are what is generously called a truck and you drive along what is generously called a road this 12-lane monstrosity is covered in brown chickens which you have to run over to game points for some reason green chickens you must avoid to not lose points and a whole bunch of vehicles all driving towards you which you must avoid crashing into as you drive along you have to rack up as many points as possible while also trying to ignore the fact that cars are falling into existence in the distance [Music] and ignore the fact that this modern superhighway is inexplicably decorated with buildings from western such as two sheriff's offices directly opposite each other multiple times to be fair it will take multiple sheriffs to investigate this absolute crime scene of a game in fact all of the game's trophies are based on getting points up to and including 1100 which could theoretically take a while to get in one go due to the fact that the game doesn't just look bad it also handles bad [Music] don't worry about losing your point total if you crash though as the game spawns you back in with your score rounded down to the nearest hundred so just restart a few times and you'll have your platinum in no time [Music] specifically we unlocked the platinum trophy within less than nine minutes of booting up the game we can't quite believe that this chicken smooshing simulator was a given an actual platinum trophy b cost 79 actual british pence and c can be completed in less time than it takes to hard boil an actual egg still i hear it was innovative in some ways for example i accidentally discovered that you can use the playstation controller touch pad to move the camera oh motion sickness no take it back oh i shouldn't have eaten eggs [Music] some of the games on this list make you wonder why sony let them have a platinum trophy little adventure on the prairie makes you wonder why sony let you buy it for real money while this is a game that i would have quite proudly put up on my teenage website of self-made flash animations in 2002 it doesn't quite reach the level of sony's usually high standards today there are backgrounds whose patterns don't line up with each other properly [Music] the lack of any sound effects to distract you from the mind-numbingly repetitive music and the floaty controls that make it near impossible to climb stairs without feeling second-hand embarrassment for the little blue head anime boy you're playing as in fact the only reason to play this game at all is that you can win a platinum trophy in about 25 minutes tops see while the game's terrible floaty controls make it nearly impossible to fight enemies directly without taking damage trophy aficionados have discovered a couple of simple workarounds to make this game hideously easy first off is jumping on their head here they can't hit you but you can absolutely wail on them [Music] and second for enemies that the previous method doesn't work on for some reason you can lure them to a lower platform where they'll walk directly forwards above you and you can wail on them from underneath instead please bear in mind that they'll only follow you if you're directly in front of them and no they don't fall down the gaps you have to jump over follow these simple steps and you too can gain an easy platinum alongside 93.4 percent of your fellow little adventure on the prairie players although fair warning it's not worth it we still feel just as empty on the inside if not more [Music] [Music] there are a lot of excellent and unique platformers on the indie market one such game is gravity duck which came out in 2019 in this cute pixel adventure you play a duck who can alter gravity in order to get around enemies and obstacles this creates lots of fun puzzles for you to solve over four different chapters giving you well over an hour of gravity switching gaming you can also platinum it in less than 25 minutes that's because the trophy list is as bad as the game is good for example there's a trophy for completing the first chapter but not the other three there's trophies for meeting certain enemies for the first time but you encounter all of these enemies near the start of chapter two and the hardest trophy to get is looks like easter where you must get 50 golden eggs which sounds tricky until you learn that a golden egg is rewarded at the end of each level and each chapter has over 30 levels so midway through chapter 2 bling you're done [Music] i can't believe they'd make such a huge error except i can because this is not the first time this has happened indeed publisher rata leica games made the exact same trophy list mistake the year before gravity duck appeared on the ps4 with another clever platformer jack and jill dx this single button game sees your little blob of a character continuously moving along the screen with you only being able to control when they jump it's a nifty idea well executed and unfortunately because of bad trophy design most players are probably done with it after 15 minutes once they've got the platinum trophy yeah not sure i deserve that halo looking at how i cheese this platinum [Music] memory is a tricky thing for instance we don't have an auto queue and um sorry what was i supposed to say next but what isn't tricky is the platinum trophy for the card based memory game memory lane the name may give the impression that hey you'll go down memory lane and the cards will tell some kind of story but no it's literally just a card matching game a card matching game that we got the platinum for in less than seven minutes not bad considering we forget what we walked into a room for half the time trophies are thrown at you so fast in this game but we have no idea what for we're assuming points but the descriptions of each trophy when lined up in order sound like the worst slam poetry you've ever heard once there was a brain washed with magnetic pulses overloaded with senses focusing of inner self more and more of higher self sorry i can't read any more of this thank you they're also kind of confusing such as the line if only we could paint the back of our eyes which maybe is a typo or maybe we're just not grooving hard enough daddy-o of course playstation doesn't show the description of trophies when they award them so instead players are presented with challengingly euphemistic phrases like gyrus exciter and thalamus plugger i beg your pardon as if that wasn't gross enough this error-riddled game full of stock images and bad music that we completed in less time than it takes for us to make a cup of tea retails for three pounds 29. not paying that let's see what it costs on switch four pounds 99 miyamoto you diabolical [Music] nubla is an interesting game set in the museo thisten in madrid spain developed by students with help from professional developers gamera nest nubla seeks to educate young people about the art that can be found in the museum's galleries as part of its education programme a strange but endearing game nubla sees you following little painted children around the museum entering different paintings to solve puzzles and saving a big cosmic elephant i'm not sure anymore i'm too focused on the fact that the little painted boy i'm playing as has two faces [Music] luke you know those brownies you brought into the office yeah they were normal brownies right yeah why no reason for an educational game about art the game is weirdly popular on playstation which we think is because avid trophy hunters have figured out it's possible to get world of nubla's platinum trophy in less than 30 minutes at least if you pick the kid with green hair and two faces as he can teleport past walls and cut out whole chunks of the first level skipping the learning and getting straight to the sweet trophies [Music] yes this student project has a platinum and an easy one too it throws a gold trophy your way for every new level you reach and the only other trophies relate to hidden collectibles all based on pieces of art that hang in the museum this in some are trickier to find than others but follow clues on screen or an online guide and you'll mop them up easily getting a bronze trophy every time you pick one up [Music] do you know how many feathers you have to collect in assassin's creed 2 for a single bronze trophy 100 and it takes way longer than 30 minutes even with an online guide maybe the game's platinum is so easy to get because the creators wanted to reach people who want a painless platinum and covertly educate them about the existence of the museum and its world-class collection of art which i'm sorry is not going to work shut up go away stop recording [Music] well friends we went diving into the world of platinum trophy hunting well ellen did she she got all the footage for these games trophy has ruined her life self-respect is shattered so a butt likes and subscribes as i've discovered from a career on youtube will fix uh herself self-esteem issues it'll pay
