Introduction

Far Cry 3's Platinum trophy is quite simple to achieve. Focus on the main story first, then liberate all outposts and collect the required objects to unlock other trophies and to gain XPs needed to complete all the skill trees. You will have to try at least one of each side activities, like hunting or killing wanted enemies. You don't even have to worry about online trophies, for a plain, Far Cry-ish list.


Roadmap

  • Step 1 - Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?

In this first step you have to complete the main story at the difficulty level you like. You will unlock all story-related trophies and some miscellanous trophy about killing enemies, unlocking skills and crafting objects. Feel free to activate radio towers and liberate enemy outposts, but you can do everything in the endgame.

  • Step 2 - Clean-up

In the endgame, activate all radio towers to uncover the whole map, then buy all the maps in the shop to see the icons for the colletibles. Liberate all enemy outposts and collect memory cards, letters and relics. Remember to unlock all the skills (some may require specific actions, like killing sharks or liberating outposts stealthily) and you will easily achieve your new Platinum!
