Getting The Shovel Knight Platinum Trophy
14The final trophies I get here are for beating the game without dying, beating the game without falling in an endless pit, and destroying every checkpoint in the game.
Estimated time to get this trophy - Probably 15-20 hours, but you could potentially get this trophy in 5 hours or less if you were really good right when you picked up the game.
Platinum Difficulty - Medium to Difficult. It's not as bad as it sounds though, since you can reset the death counter by returning to the title screen. This basically makes the "beat the entire game without dying" trophy into a "beat every level separately without dying." In my opinion the hardest trophy in the game is beating the game in under an hour and a half, but if you use the same trick you can get through the game without dying and pretty much secure the trophy even if you are a bit slow.
Overall I really like this platinum trophy. There's a little bit of everything, a speed trophy, a deathless trophy, collection trophies, trophies you get for using certain relics effectively, and some other fun trophies sprinkled in. There's no stupid grindy trophies, and all of the hardest trophies are rightfully gold trophies.
