LittleBigPlanet 3 Trophy Guide

Roadmap

Stage 1: Adventure Trophies Delete

Play through the story levels in adventure mode to unlock the following trophies. Try to either complete each level without dying or complete the level with another player. This can be in local co-op or online.

It is recommended to play through all levels casually in multiplayer first, as you will have to have a bit of level knowledge in order to complete them without dying even once. You can also do this solo with two controllers, as long as the second players spawns in the game at the last check point, before the finish, the game will count the level as complete in multiplayer.

In the game's story mode, you will come across optional levels and side quests. The two Contraption Challenge levels are two of them. In each of these levels you will be required to create a contraption to complete the challenge. By playing these levels you will unlock more parts which you can use to improve your contraption.

Book Three: Bunkum Lagoon

Dinner at 8
Guide 8 Sacklings to the very end

Rare
Co‑Op or Solo
For this trophy you will need to play the optional level called Challenge Room: Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?. It is located in the bottom right of Manglewood Swamp.

In this level there will be 8 Sacklings which will be divided between the players. If you play this solo you will control all 8 of them, if you play it with two players you control only 4. This might make it easier to do multiplayer if you're playing with a good player. Then again lag can make it a bit more difficult.

In order to guide all of the Sacklings safely to the end of the level you need to keep lining them up by walking in to a wall before attempting to do a jump. The level intentionally keeps separating your Sacklings and there is one part where it is not possible to line them up again. Be very careful with your jumps and notice how your Sacklings are not all walking/running at the same pace.

You only need 6 Sacklings to clear the level and earn all of its items, but you need them all 8 to earn this trophy.

Ride this to the end and ride the next hook rail to the end. This will drop you off in the TEAM PICKS portal room. The trophy should now unlock.

It is not necessary to play the level, nor is it required to be online for this trophy. You only need to find the portal room.

Use the Gameplay Tweaker to become invincible... And prove it!

Rare
Go to your Pod Computer and navigate to Me and then My Moon. Select a circular level to enter create mode. Make sure that you do not select an Adventure (hexagon shaped) level. Also make sure that Advanced Create Mode is enabled. Check this in the settings menu, press the OPTIONS button on your DualShock 4 and scroll down to Settings. Now select Profile and ensure that Advanced Create Mode is ticked.

The gist of this trophy is that you will have to place a dangerous item in create mode, tweak it so that it will not kill you anymore and step into it to proof it. In the explanation below I've chosen spikes, but this can be any hazard.

Place down a hazardous object
Open up the Popit menu and select the Tools Bag. Navigate through the pages using L2 and R1 until you are on the Gameplay page. Find the Large Spikes, under the Dangerous sub-category. Select it and place it down.

Tweak the hazardous object
Open up the Popit menu and select the Tools Bag again. Navigate through the pages until you are on the Creatures and Characters page. Find the Gameplay Tweaker, under the Creature Tweakers sub-category. Select it and place it down on the Large Spikes using Cross. Close the Popit menu, hover your cursor over the Gameplay Tweaker and press and hold Square to change it's settings. Scroll down to the sub-category Affects and change it to Affects: All. Scroll down a bit further to the sub-category Vulnerability and select the Spike icon once, so it says Spike: No.

Touch the hazardous object
Back out of the Popit menu and make sure your game isn't paused (You can unpause by pressing Up). Jump on the spikes to proof that you are invincible. The trophy will now unlock.

Warning: This trophy is buggy. Sometimes it will not unlock - even after you've completed all levels with another player. If you encounter this bug, try to make absolutely sure that you have not missed any levels. If you haven't missed anything, the only workaround this bug that is currently known is to delete your save data (back them up offcourse!) and replay through all 20 levels again with a second controller/player.

To unlock this trophy, you must complete all 20 main story levels with another player. Optional levels are not required. You can do this local co-op or online co-op. It's also possible to do solo by using a second controller. As long as a second player joins on the last checkpoint before the finish, it's counted for the trophy. It doesn't matter if its a different player for each level.

If you're wondering if it is possible to check if you have already completed a level in multiplayer, yes - this is possible. It's really fiddly though, here's how. Highlight a level on the map and press Square to show more information, press Right to select Scoreboards (on the right side of the screen) and press Cross. Now you need to check in the lower left corner which filter is selected. By default this is probably "1 Player". Switch filters by pressing Triangle, select 2 players (or 3 or 4 if you play with that many players). If your name shows up at the top of the scoreboard while the filter is configured to multiplayer, then you've completed this level in multiplayer.

Here is a list of all the levels you must complete in multiplayer for this trophy.

Warning: This trophy is buggy. Sometimes it will not unlock - even after you've completed all the quests.

If you believe that this happens to you double check if you have every quest in the list below in your Organizertron. If you are missing quests from the list entirely, go back to that area and try to accept them again.

If you do have every quest in the Completed section, check if there are any quests which have incomplete objectives. These quests will have objectives that have not been striked through when you've selected them. Go back to those area's and try to complete the quests again.
To earn this trophy you will need to complete all of the quests in the game, of which there are 15. There are two main methods, the legitimate method (simply playing the game) and the illegitimate method (using an in-game glitch). Both methods are detailed below.


Legitimate Method

The legitimate method is basically playing through the story as intended, some of these will be given to you automatically while playing through the story, others are tied to the optional levels and you will have to find them. To check your progress of your quests you can use the Organizertron. It is opened by holding down Triangle. Quests marked with a star are main story quests. Three of the 15 quests require you to play multiplayer. However all of them can be done solo if you have 4 controllers. Below is a list of the quests.

Book One: Manglewood
  • Search for Marlon Random
  • Awaken OddSock the Swift
  • Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?
  • The Wheel Deal
  • Back in the Saddle
  • Two's Company (2 players)
  • Race to the Stars (4 players)
    The video below will show you how to do this challenge solo, with 4 controllers.

Book Two: The Ziggurat
  • Release Toggle!
  • Bear With Us
  • No Drain No Gain
  • Here, There, and Everywhere (2 players)

Book Three: Bunkum Lagoon
  • Release Swoop!
  • Defeat Newton!
  • Joust In Time
  • Battle of the Airwaves
 


Illegitimate Method

Before attempting to do this exploit it it highly recommended that you have earned every other trophy there is!

There was a glitch in the game which allowed you to complete all of the quest in couple of minutes. Be warned though! This glitch may corrupt your game save, lock you out of main story levels, and or lock you out of the following trophies:
  • Bronze The best laid plans...
  • Silver Free Bird
  • Silver Dinner at 8

Before you do anything, backup your saves!!

Since the exploit has been patched, you will need to delete and reinstall your game if you have the digital copy. If you have the disc copy, you will need to delete the game data which contains all of the patches.

The video below shows this glitch in action, take a look at it to see how it works.
