Welcome Ratchets and Clanks! I missed games like these, so when this came to my attention after getting rid of the endless backlog, I felt happy and like a child. New Ratchet is a really, really fun game, and that is what games are all about. Plus the platinum journey is an easy one.
Step 1 - Finish the game while working on collectibles and constantly change your weapons
Always change your weapons and buy new ones as soon as you can! There are many trophies related to weapons, I unlocked them easily by always using weapons that are not on their max level (which is 5 on your first playthrough), and by the end I was missing only one weapon-related trophy.
For the collectables, you don't need them all, just all CraiggerBears, all Blizon Crystals expect one (23 on Blizar Prime, 7 on Cordelion), all Spybots, all Zurpstones during an optional mission on Sargasso, all Glitch Challenges, just 5 Gold Bolts out of 25, just 3 Lorbs out of 12 on Savali and 3 Armors out of 24. Sounds easy? It really is, trust me!
The platinum is very easy, just be careful about Extinction Event trophy on Sargasso. That one is for killing 5 Grunthors (the big dinosaur boss-like enemies which reward you with Raritanium). After finishing the game they don't appear anymore, and the ones in the arena doesn't count. If you miss this trophy (it's reaaaaaly hard to miss it, you really need to avoid them), just run through NG+ and do them then.

Step 2 - NG + and what to take into account
When you finish the game you can stay in free roam mode, which will return you before the final boss fight, or you can start your NG+ and carry all weapons + their stats. Going for NG+ will create a new save on a new save slot (if you have empty ones), so you can always continue the free roam before the final boss from the main menu by just loading the other save.
In NG+ you will need to play until the point where you can buy weapons from the robo merchant. Buy the ones for 1 currency and that should be your last trophy.
Gold Arena is unlocked before the end-game events, after you finish Viceron planet. You might also need to finish Silver and Bronze challenges first. Finish the first Gold Arena challenge to unlock the trophy.
Some tips: By this point you should be familiar with weapons. Upgrade what you see fit and use what you see fit. You can lower the difficulty if you struggle, it will not void any trophy. Not much else to say, dodge, shoot and win.
The Jukebox can be found on the 3rd planet called "Scarstu Debris Field". Inside the bar there is an jukebox left from the panel which you can use to access arean. Go close, inspect it, choose all the songs here and the trophy will pop. It unlocked for me after I selected more than 3. Do not confuse this with dancing to songs, as you can also move a bit away from the jukebox and dance (that is not related for this or any trophy).
Pocket dimensions are purple portals that will guide you to another dimension where you can finish some challenge and get new equipment sets. They are marked as purple icons on the map, and there are more than 1 to be found. You can find them all listed here if you need them:
Armor parts are usually found in Pocket Dimensions (purple rifts with a challenge inside), or rewarded by completing arena challenges. Simply aquire 1 armor piece to unlock this trophy.
Armor parts are usually found in Pocket Dimensions (purple rifts with a challenge inside), or rewarded by completing arena challenges. Simply aquire 3 armor pieces (Helmet, Chest and Boots), and equip those to unlock this trophy.
There are 25 Gold Bolts to be found in the game. You only need 5 to complete all Gold Bolt related trophies. When you get close to one it will get marked on the map.

Automatic story-related trophy.
These are the Lemmings type of puzzles where you need to guide invisible clanks to reach the door at the end of the puzzle level.
Using a weapon in a fight will raise EXP for that weapon and eventually it will level up. Level up 1 weapon to level 5 (which is a max level during your first playthrough). By the end of the game I had almost all weapons at their max levels.
Weapons can be upgraded using Raritarium crystals (the blue crystals which you get by breaking the blue boxes with those crystals sticking out, or by defeating mini-bosses on the planets). There are a lot of these to be found, plus you can continue in NG+.
You need to raise 1 weapon to the max level (which is 5), and then go to merchant to upgrade the nodes of that weapon. Unlock them all on the grid to get the trophy.
New weapons get unlocked as you progress the story. Simply collect bolts (which serve as currency) and use them at merchant where you can buy new weapons. You need 8 weapons to fill 1 weapon wheel.
New weapons get unlocked as you progress the story. Simply collect bolts (which serve as currency) and use them at merchant where you can buy new weapons. Buy them all, and then you will still miss 3 of them:
- Ryno - collect 10 Spybots
- Bouncer - NG + weapon, costs 1 bolt at merchant
- Pixelizer - NG + weapon, costs 1 bolt at merchant
Weapons will be transfered to NG+.
Glitch Challenges are mini-games where you play as the robot shooting the viruses inside the devices. 3 are story-related and you can't miss them, and 2 are optional. This means you need to find 2 of those to unlock the trophy (and complete them).
One is on Ardolis, and the reward is Gold Bolt, and the other is on Savali after you return there for story (end-game events). The reward is also a Gold Bolt.
49:02 - Gold Bolt #03 (12) & Glitch Challenge #01
1:09:47 - Gold Bolt #02 (22) & Glitch Challenge #02
If you play on 1.02 patch, you only need 29 out of 30 Blizon Crystals. They are purple crystals which take you to another dimensions where the surraundings are different. And they can only be found on Blizar Prime & Cordelion planets. I will list only the optional ones which you can miss if you don't explore the map.
Blizar Prime:
- Middle platform southern side on the map of that platform, this one leads to the Gold Bolt
- Northeast part of the map, you will find x3 crystals there. It's the area where the optional missions takes you
- On the northern side of the western platform (west one from the middle platform on the map) you can find x2 of them
- During the Rail Grind when you come to the part where the 3 rails next to each other are (path forward is closed off). Kick both crystals before progressing (the one on the left and right). If you miss one, don't worry, in patch 1.02 this was fixed and this is the one that doens't count, but it does before that patch
Cordelion:
- It's the one on the eastern platform (east from the first platform where you start) when you hit the story related one at the top of the first tower. Use your glide boots to reach it. It also gives you the Gold Bolt
Big Al balloon is automatic, but Clank & Qwark can be found in the pocket dimension on the Corson V.
1:08 - Pocket Dimension (Equipment 01 - Helmet - Robot Disguise) & BOING! Trophy
Travel to Savali, and go near the center of the map where the Ms. Zurkom (the weapon merchant) is. Just a bit to the south from him there is a hot spring. Aproach it to unlock the trophy (there are some robots inside).
This one can be unlocked on Sargasso. It's on the end of the cavern with pocket dimension, just to the south of the main platform where the merchant is. Turn on the TV to unlock the trophy.
9:36 - CraiggerBear & Lobax and Chill Trophy
Perform 5 double jumps (X and X again) while grinding the rail. You can return to Torren IV and progress to the rail section and unlock this one if you by any chance missed it.
Buy Cold Snap weapon when you unlock it, shoot the enemy and finish the frozen enemy with melee attach (square button). You will get this easily if you play the arena (Silver Challenge "Freezer Pop").
You need "Ricochet" weapon first, so buy it when you unlock it during story progress (it will unlock on Sargasso). When you shoot with R2, keep on pressing the R2 button to chain few hits. While doing so, you need to kill enemies with a single round, so find those purple enemies near the start on the same planet and shoot when you see them grouped.
Buy Void Repulser (it gets unlocked on Savali). By hoding the L1 button or R1 halfway you will raise the barrier which can absorb enemy bullets. After that shoot with R2 while you are far away (you don't want to kill enemies with weapon bullets) to shoot the enemy bullets into enemies and kill them. The best location is Sargasso, simply progress until the first merchant point, after which you can find 4 flying beetles. Absord, shoot from distance, teleport to other planet, return, repeat.
The Headhunter gets unlocked after 8th planet. By pressing L2 you enter the aim mode. With R3 you zoom in. Simply shoot enemies in the head 20 times to unlock the trophy (I unlocked this on robot enemies, so it doesn't have to be humans. You can do this easily in arena or wherever you prefer.
Buy Mr. Fungi (it gets unlocked on Corson V) and use the weapon until you get the trophy (you need to shoot 50 bullets, from them Fungis will emerge).
Buy Topiary Sprinkler (it gets unlocked on Sargasso). Shoot, and wait for the enemies to get Topiary'd (which means, when the weapon turns them green and in that moment they are stuck), and then kill them. I love this weapon, I always use it when I have bullets to "freeze" enemies, then I usually change to some strong one to take them out while they are in this state.
The only collectibles that are not shown on the map are the CraiggerBears. They are small plushy bears and you can find 1 on each planet. You need them all to unlock all corresponding trophies.

Grunthors are big mini-boss dinosaurs on Sargasso that reward you with Raritarium crystals. You will kill 5 during exploration and story, but you can avoid them and miss the trophy. Do not avoid any, and before completing the game try to get this done if you by any means still don't have it until that point.
The ones in the arena doesn't count.
This should happen naturally during Viceron events. Nefarious Trooper Heads which counts are the ones which are ejected from flying robot enemies. Sometimes they eject their head, and if they spawn as heads that doesn't count. Like said, you will kill a lot of them on this planet, and if you don't, you can re-visit the planet do collect what you miss.
When you get the Glide boots, pump the speed (hold the R1 and keep boosting with L2 until you can't do so anymore) and just do the double jump while still holding the R1 button. Easy.
There are 10 Spybots in the game, and you need to find them all for Spybot related trophies:
There are 10 Spybots in the game, and you need to find them all to unlock Ryno, the strongers weapon in the game:
After completing Scarstu Debris Field (the 3rd planet), you will unlock optional mission on Sargasso (the 2nd planet). Go back there, visit Trudi (check the map for icon). You need to find 10 Zurpstones nerby and bring them back to her. They will be marked on the map, so it should be really easy to do so.
Complete the optional mission on Blizar Prime planet. Just follow the pointer on the map. You will have to defeat waves of enemies and defend the base, but it's very easy. By doing so and finishing that part, you will unlock the trophy.
Lorbs can be found on Savali. You only need 3 for the trophy, but I found them all anyway. They are all over the place on this planet, usually you have to defeat enemies when you reach one or finish some challenge. After that the Lorb will come out, so kick it with your melee attack to collect it.
