Balatro Trophy Guide and Platinum Walkthrough

Play normally to pick up the scoring, hand and progression trophies. Most of the bronze and silver list comes naturally here.

Work toward discovering the full collection, every Tarot, Joker, Planet, Skip Tag, Spectral and playing card.

Take each of the 15 decks up through the stake tiers to a Gold Stake win for Completionist+. You cannot skip tiers, so this is a long, steady climb.

Build with the Plant Boss Blind in mind, since it ends more Gold Stake runs than anything else.

Chase a gold sticker on every Joker for Completionist++. Remember the objective is a sticker on each specific Joker, not a high win rate, so draft accordingly.

Expect this to be the majority of your total time. Adjust deck strategy as the remaining sticker pool shrinks.

Finish every challenge run now that your play is sharp. Most take one or two attempts, though the Golden Needle and Jokerless runs remain tough. The platinum follows the last one.

A Gold Stake run needs enough money to reroll, improve scoring, and respond to boss blinds. Avoid spending the entire economy on short-term power before the late antes.

Early strength can clear low stakes, but Gold Stake needs a scoring engine that continues growing. Choose Jokers and card improvements that remain useful through the final blinds.

A safe win does not advance Completionist++ unless a missing Joker survives in the final build. Balance the strength of the deck against the specific sticker being carried.

Completionist++ needs a gold sticker on every Joker, roughly 150 in total. A sticker only counts when a Gold Stake run is won with that Joker in play. The objective is therefore not the highest win rate. It is creating winning runs that carry a specific missing Joker through the final ante, even when a safer pick would make that one run easier.

Keep a visible list of missing stickers and take calculated risks when one appears. Early in the grind, strong general Jokers can carry several unstickered choices together. Near the end, the final missing Jokers determine the draft, economy, and reroll decisions. That shift is why Completionist++ remains long after the normal collection and deck wins are finished.

Completionist+ requires a Gold Stake win with all 15 decks. Stake tiers cannot be skipped, so every deck must progress from White Stake upward before its Gold Stake attempt becomes available. Rotate decks when a climb becomes repetitive, but keep enough notes to avoid repeating a stake that is already complete.

A reliable Gold Stake build needs scoring that survives the late antes, economy that continues improving, and an answer for dangerous boss blinds. Early strength can clear lower stakes, while the final tiers reward consistency. No single deck solves every missing sticker, so use the deck whose economy and starting rule support the Joker currently being targeted.

The Plant debuffs all face cards and is the most common end to a promising Gold Stake sticker run. Keep a scoring line that does not depend entirely on Kings, Queens, or Jacks, or preserve a way to reroll the boss. A small defensive concession is worth more than losing an otherwise complete run at the final blind.

Finish the challenge runs after the Gold Stake and sticker work. Most become short with that experience, although Golden Needle and Jokerless remain demanding. Complete the Tarot, Joker, Planet, Skip Tag, Spectral, and playing-card discoveries alongside normal runs, then target the missing Legendary Jokers through their required Spectral route. Total time commonly lands between 100 and 250 or more hours, mainly because of play speed and the last gold stickers.

After the deck wins and challenge runs, sort the collection around missing discoveries and gold stickers. Each run should target a defined Joker or undiscovered item instead of playing only for another generic win. Record the deck, stake, missing sticker, and boss weakness before starting. This is especially important near the end, when a safe familiar build may produce no Completionist++ progress even though it wins consistently.

Before the first blind, define whether the run targets a deck win, a challenge, a discovery, or one missing gold sticker. A victory that advances none of those goals is still practice, but it should not control every draft decision. Near the end of Completionist++, prioritise the missing Joker when the deck can carry it safely through Gold Stake.
