Bloodborne's Platinum takes 34 trophies (1 Platinum, 6 gold, 7 silver and 20 bronze), no online play, and one full playthrough plus backup saves for the three endings; expect 50 or more hours. The trophies most players miss are the weapon and tool collections, the three ending trophies, and the Chalice Dungeon set, so the plan below focuses on protecting those. The Old Hunters adds six more trophies that do not count toward the Platinum.
We checked this against the Fextralife Bloodborne wiki's trophy guide, PowerPyx's Bloodborne collectible and boss notes, PlatGet's trophy roadmap and the game-checklists trophy list in November 2026.
The Platinum at a Glance
Here are the headline numbers, which match the trophy list the game has had since launch:
- Base game trophies: 34 in total, including the Platinum, which the game describes simply as "All trophies acquired. Hats off!"
- Difficulty: PlatGet rates it 7 out of 10 and estimates 50+ hours.
- Online trophies: none. Every trophy can be earned solo, though co-op helps with tough bosses.
- Playthroughs: one, plus either extra playthroughs or backup saves to see all three endings.
- DLC: The Old Hunters adds 6 separate trophies (1 gold, 1 silver, 4 bronze) that are not required for the Platinum.
The bronze trophies are mostly boss kills: Cleric Beast, Father Gascoigne, Vicar Amelia, the Witch of Hemwick, Blood-starved Beast, Darkbeast Paarl, the Shadow of Yharnam, Rom, The One Reborn, Micolash, Mergo's Wet Nurse, Martyr Logarius, Amygdala, Celestial Emissary and Ebrietas. The rest are Rune Contact, Blood Gem Contact and the three Chalice trophies.
Most of those bronzes arrive naturally as you play. Rune Contact and Blood Gem Contact are simply for acquiring your first Caryll Rune and your first blood gem, and the story bosses are unavoidable. The work lies in the golds and silvers, which reward thoroughness: every weapon, every special tool, every hidden area and the full preset Chalice Dungeon chain. If you play the main story with a checklist open and make a few deliberate detours, you can reach the endgame with only the Chalice phase and the endings left.
A Roadmap That Avoids Replaying the Game
PlatGet's roadmap breaks the Platinum into four phases, and it is the most efficient order we have seen:
- Main story and collection. Beat every boss up to and including Ebrietas, gather the hunter weapons and special tools, upgrade one weapon to +10, and collect three umbilical cords. Do not challenge Gehrman yet.
- Chalice Dungeons. Clear the five preset dungeons in sequence, each one unlocking the next, ending with the Pthumerian Queen in the last.
- Endings. Use backup saves to take each of Gehrman's choices.
- Platinum. It pops when the last ending trophy unlocks.
The single most important habit is backing up your save before the Gehrman conversation. On PS4 or PS5 you can upload it to PlayStation Plus cloud storage or copy it to a USB drive, then restore it after each ending. Without that, each ending costs a full playthrough, because the game moves straight into New Game+ after the credits.
Co-op is the other big time saver. None of the trophies require online play, but the Beckoning Bell lets you summon other hunters for a boss that is walling you, at a cost of 1 Insight per ring. The Small Resonant Bell works the other way, letting you help other players, and each successful boss assist as a guest pays you 1 Insight. A few rounds of helping others is an easy way to stock up Insight for summons of your own, or to save toward the 60 Insight Blood Rock that Weapon Master needs.
Missable Trophies and How to Protect Them
Several trophies are easy to miss on a first cycle, and missing one usually means playing back to that point in New Game+. These are the ones to plan around.
- Hunter's Essence (gold): acquire all hunter weapons, 26 by PowerPyx's count. Two need special attention. The Blade of Mercy comes from Eileen the Crow's questline, or from killing her. The Burial Blade only becomes purchasable after you refuse Gehrman's offer and defeat him; the wiki notes it can then be bought from the Messengers in New Game+.
- Hunter's Craft (gold): acquire all special Hunter Tools. The game-checklists list notes the Madaras Whistle is not required.
- The three ending golds: Yharnam Sunrise, Honoring Wishes and Childhood's Beginning come from the same final conversation, so the backup approach above is essential.
- Optional bosses: Celestial Emissary and Ebrietas are optional and well hidden, according to PowerPyx, and Darkbeast Paarl and Martyr Logarius are easy to skip. Clear them before the ending.
Eileen deserves a special note because her quest has strict timing: you must help her against Henryk before you first enter the Forbidden Woods. Our Eileen the Crow questline guide has every step.
The Exploration and Item Silvers
Seven silver trophies reward finding hidden places and rare items. These are the ones players most often have to look up:
- The Source of the Dream: discover the Abandoned Old Workshop. The hidden door is inside the Healing Church Workshop tower; drop down carefully rather than jumping to the bottom.
- Nightmare Lecture Building: unlocks after defeating The One Reborn, or by letting a Lesser Amygdala in Cathedral Ward grab you while you carry the Tonsil Stone.
- Cainhurst: get the Cainhurst Summons, then go to the monument at Hemwick's Crossing.
- The Choir: obtain the Upper Cathedral Key and enter the top of Cathedral Ward.
- Weapon Master: upgrade any weapon to +10, which needs a Blood Rock. One is sold for 60 Insight after Mergo's Wet Nurse.
- Rune Master: acquire an extremely precious Caryll Rune. PowerPyx points to Formless Oedon, and the wiki's trophy notes describe a hidden path off the elevator behind the locked door in Cathedral Ward.
- Blood Gem Master: acquire an extremely precious blood gem. PowerPyx recommends a level 15+ gem from the layer 1 boss of the Ailing Loran Chalice.
For more on Rune Master's options, our existing Caryll runes guide explains the rune system in depth.
The Chalice Dungeon Trophies
Five trophies live in or around the Chalice Dungeons, and they make up most of the post-story grind:
- Chalice of Pthumeru (bronze): defeat the Blood-starved Beast, who drops the Pthumeru Chalice.
- Chalice of Ailing Loran (bronze): defeat the Amygdala boss.
- Chalice of Isz (bronze): defeat Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos.
- Blood Gem Master (silver): covered above, earned inside a Chalice Dungeon.
- Yharnam, Pthumerian Queen (gold): defeat her in layer 3 of the Pthumeru Ihyll Chalice, the last of the preset dungeon chain.
Each preset dungeon gives you the materials and chalice for the next, which is why PlatGet treats them as one long phase. Our existing Chalice Dungeons guide for beginners covers rituals, materials and what to expect on each layer.
Two tips make this phase less of a slog. First, go in strong: these dungeons are built for players who have already beaten much of the main story, and an upgraded weapon matters more than raw level. Second, treat the Chalice phase as farming too. The wiki lists Chalice Dungeons among the richest Blood Echo sources in the game, so the levels you gain here will carry you through the ending fights and into New Game+ if you choose to keep going.
The Three Ending Trophies
Spoiler warning: this section describes how the three endings are triggered.
After Mergo's Wet Nurse, Gehrman offers to release you from the dream. Accept and you earn Yharnam Sunrise. Refuse and defeat him with fewer than three umbilical cords consumed and you earn Honoring Wishes. Refuse after consuming three cords and you face the Moon Presence; winning earns Childhood's Beginning.
With a backup save, the sequence for all three is: save before the conversation, accept for the first ending, restore, refuse and win for the second, restore again, eat three cords, refuse and win both fights for the third. Our umbilical cord locations guide shows where to find them, and the Bloodborne endings guide explains what each ending means.
The Old Hunters Trophies
The DLC list is short: Old Hunter's Essence (gold, every DLC weapon), Orphan of Kos (silver) and bronzes for Ludwig, Lady Maria, the Living Failures and Laurence. None of them are needed for the Platinum, but if you are going for a full list, it makes sense to clear the DLC on your first cycle alongside the base game collectibles. Old Hunter's Essence is the one to plan for, because a couple of its weapons come from optional NPC stories rather than from the main path through the Hunter's Nightmare, so a rushed run can leave it one weapon short. Our Old Hunters guide explains how to unlock it and which NPC stories hold its missable weapons.
