Read on for the full RE9 trophy list, missable trophy warnings, and the most efficient route to Platinum.
Platinum Roadmap Overview
The most efficient path to Platinum in RE9 requires three playthroughs. Each playthrough has specific goals to minimize total time spent.
| Playthrough | Difficulty | Primary Focus | Est. Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Playthrough | Standard Classic | Exploration, collectibles, story trophies, all files | 12-16 hours |
| 2nd Playthrough (NG+) | Insanity | Remarkable Agent trophy, missed collectibles, Never Touch the Stuff | 4-6 hours |
| 3rd Playthrough (NG+) | Casual | Speed Demon (under 4 hours), Minimalist, alternate ending | 2-3 hours |
💡Save Scumming for Missable Trophies
Create a manual save before every boss fight and every story decision point. Many missable trophies are tied to specific boss kill methods or dialogue choices. Having a save nearby lets you reload and try again without replaying entire chapters.
Key Missable Trophies
Out of the 50 total trophies, 43 are missable. Here are the most commonly missed trophies that require specific attention during your first playthrough.
Story & Ending Trophies
- Hope and Requiem -- Release Elpis during the final chapter to cure the T-Virus. This is the "good" ending and is required for the Speed Demon trophy in your third playthrough.
- Requiem's End -- Choose to destroy Elpis for the alternate ending. Save this for your third playthrough since you can combine it with other challenge trophies.
Collectible Trophies
- You Little Rascal -- Destroy all 25 Mr. Raccoon figurines. These are spread across all chapters and cannot be replayed individually. Follow our Mr. Raccoon locations guide for a complete checklist.
- Case Closed -- Collect all 75 files. Many files are in rooms that lock permanently after certain story triggers.
- No Safe is Safe -- Open all 18 safes in the game. Safe codes change in NG+, so find the clue sources rather than memorizing codes. Our safe codes guide covers every location.
Combat Trophies
- Head Hunter -- Kill 50 enemies with headshots across a single playthrough
- Knife to Meet You -- Kill 20 enemies with the knife
- Blast Radius -- Kill 5 enemies with a single grenade (best done in the Care Center courtyard)
- Parry King -- Successfully parry 30 attacks in a single playthrough
⚠️43 Missable Trophies
RE9 has one of the highest missable trophy counts in the series. The majority are combat-specific or collectible-based. If you miss a collectible trophy on your first playthrough, you will need to find the missing items in NG+ where they reset to their original positions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many playthroughs are needed for the RE9 Platinum?
Three playthroughs is the optimal number. The first for exploration and collectibles, the second for Insanity difficulty, and the third for the speedrun and alternate ending. It is theoretically possible in two, but the third playthrough is only 2-3 hours and makes trophy stacking much cleaner.
What is the hardest trophy in RE9?
The Never Touch the Stuff trophy (completing the game without healing) is often considered the hardest. However, on New Game Plus with Infinite Ammo and Casual difficulty, it becomes straightforward since you can kill enemies before they reach you.
Do trophies carry over in New Game Plus?
Trophy progress is account-wide and permanent. Once earned, trophies persist regardless of save data. Challenge-based trophies like kill counts do reset per playthrough, meaning you need to earn the required number within a single save file.
Can I earn all trophies on one difficulty?
No. The Remarkable Agent trophy specifically requires Insanity difficulty, which is only available in New Game Plus. Additionally, the two ending trophies require separate completions since you can only choose one ending per playthrough.
Following this RE9 trophy guide, you should achieve Platinum in approximately 20 hours across three focused playthroughs. For detailed help with the speedrun trophy, check our speedrun guide.
