Trophy Breakdown
Here's how the 55 trophies in Baldur's Gate 3 split across the four tiers:
The list is choices, companion arcs, exploration and the Honour Mode clear. Much of it is spread across multiple playthroughs by design, so plan your runs around it.
How Hard Is the Baldur's Gate 3 Platinum?
Most trophies come from choices and companion arcs across multiple runs, but the wall is Foehammer — beat the game on Honour Mode, a single-save gauntlet with legendary boss actions where a party wipe ends the run. Ending and origin-companion trophies also conflict within a single playthrough, so expect two or three journeys through the Forgotten Realms.
The wall is Honour Mode. Unlike the rest of the game, it gives you one save with permadeath-style stakes and boss legendary actions, so a single wipe can end a 40-hour run. On top of that, several ending and companion trophies conflict within a single playthrough, which is why the platinum realistically takes multiple full campaigns rather than one.
How It Compares to Similar Platinums
On our difficulty scale the Baldur's Gate 3 platinum sits at 6/10 (challenging) and takes roughly 100+ (multiple runs) hours, so it helps to see where it lands next to similar games. It's a gentler climb than Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but a bigger commitment than Cyberpunk 2077 — handy context when you're deciding which platinum to chase first.
| Game | Difficulty | Time | Trophies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baldur's Gate 3 (this guide) | 6/10 (challenging) | 100+ (multiple runs) hrs | 55 |
| Final Fantasy VII Rebirth | 7/10 (tough) | 120–150 hrs | 61 |
| Cyberpunk 2077 | 4/10 (very achievable) | 40–60 hrs | 45 |
| Nioh 2 | 8/10 (brutal) | 150–200+ hrs | 56 |
The Smartest Way to Approach It
Use your early runs to grab story, companion and choice trophies while you learn the systems, spreading conflicting choices across different saves. When you attempt Honour Mode, go in with a proven, well-researched party composition and play patiently — legendary actions punish reckless fights, so control the battlefield, use terrain, and rest smartly.
Treat Honour Mode as an endgame project, not a first attempt. Learn the encounters on lower stakes, build a party around crowd control and burst damage, and abuse height, surfaces and pre-buffs to end fights before legendary actions matter. Because you can't reload a wipe, patience beats bravado — retreat, long-rest and re-engage rather than gambling on a coin-flip round.
Baldur's Gate 3 Trophy Roadmap
Do a first playthrough on a comfortable difficulty to learn the game and collect story, exploration and companion trophies. Take your time — this run teaches you the encounters you'll later face in Honour Mode.
Across your runs, complete each Origin companion's personal arc and pick up the varied ending and choice trophies. Spread mutually exclusive choices over different saves so none of them are wasted.
Plan your Honour Mode party well before you start it. Research a strong, well-rounded composition and understand the game's toughest fights, because a single wipe ends the entire attempt.
Run Honour Mode patiently — use terrain, crowd control and pre-buffs, long-rest to recover, and never gamble a fight you can retreat from. Clearing it earns 'Foehammer', the platinum's gatekeeper.
Clean up any remaining combat, exploration or miscellaneous trophies you didn't get during your campaigns to finish the list.
Trickiest Trophies in Baldur's Gate 3
Foehammer — clear Honour Mode — the platinum's true gatekeeper.
Conflicting endings — several choice trophies can't coexist in one run.
Companion arcs — each Origin character needs their storyline seen through.
Honour Mode bosses — legendary actions make the toughest fights far deadlier than in a normal run.
Rare interaction trophies — some require very specific dialogue or story branches that are easy to miss.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Jumping into Honour Mode blind — one wipe ends a 40-hour run, so learn the fights first.
Wasting mutually exclusive choice trophies by trying to get conflicting ones on the same save.
Improvising an Honour Mode party instead of following a tested build.
Playing aggressively when a retreat and long-rest would keep the run alive.
Tips to Platinum Baldur's Gate 3 Faster
Study a proven build before Honour Mode — there's only one save, so plan the whole run.
Knock out choice and ending trophies during your learning playthroughs.
Rest strategically in Honour Mode; legendary actions punish sloppy fights.
Use terrain, height and crowd control to keep Honour Mode fights under control.
Spread mutually exclusive choices across separate saves so you don't waste a campaign.
