Mafia 3 Trophy Guide and Platinum Roadmap
Follow these phases in order to protect the missable work and keep the Mafia 3 Platinum cleanup efficient.
Phase 0: Set expectations and plan district assignments
Expect three playthroughs rather than two. Guides say two but PSNProfiles states glitches force most players into at least three.
Play on Easy. Difficulty does not affect any trophy.
Decide your district assignment plan now, because the underboss side missions unlock progressively as you assign districts and Just You and Me conflicts with completing them.
If you intend to play Stones Unturned, do not kill Vito, since Big Fat Party Animal needs a gun from the main game.
Phase 1: First playthrough, just enjoy it
Play the story, watch the cutscenes and do the side content without chasing the glitch-prone trophies. This is PSNProfiles' own recommendation.
Assign districts equally across all three underbosses so all fifteen side missions unlock, one after their first district, two more after a second and the last two after a third.
Work Burke's IRA Don't Ask, noting the game's automatic waypoint is often not the closest vehicle, and Vito's I Need a Favor which needs an informant interrogated first.
Bank the straightforward collectible and combat trophies as they come.
Phase 2: The racket bosses
To flip rather than kill a racket boss, complete the wiretap junction boxes in that area first. Without them the option never appears.
When you melee the boss you get a choice. Press punch rather than kill.
Check your journal afterwards, which states whether you killed them or they are working with you. Do not rely on memory.
Be aware the flipping trophy has been reported broken as of patch 1.12, so verify the current position before assuming your run counts.
Phase 3: Second playthrough for the conflicting trophies
Take Just You and Me on this run, keeping only one Underboss alive until Yet Here We Are. At 1.0 percent it is the rarest trophy.
Pick up any karma or choice trophies you could not combine with the first run.
Work through the named missable list, publishing the union of all three sources rather than trusting one count.
Phase 4: The glitch runs and the platinum
If a trophy has not unlocked despite meeting every requirement, that is the known glitch situation rather than a mistake on your part.
The documented workaround involves playing in a single sitting without turning the console off, which is not a reasonable ask on a 40 hour game.
This is precisely the case where buyers look for help rather than a third full playthrough. One soft mention of DamnModz fits here.
The three DLC sets are separate and none are required for the base platinum.
Guide notes
This Is Not a Two Playthrough Platinum
First section after the Quick Info box. Guides state two playthroughs. PSNProfiles states that trophy glitches will require most people to do at least three and possibly more. The recommended approach is to simply enjoy your first playthrough without chasing the glitch-prone trophies.
Guide notes
The Racket Boss Trophy Has Been Broken for Years
Comments document it still bugged as of patch 1.12, with one player on their third playthrough meeting every requirement and receiving nothing, who then submitted a ticket to 2K. The suggested workarounds involve playing in a single sitting without ever turning the console off. State the current position with a date and be honest that the workaround is unreasonable.
Guide notes
How to Actually Flip a Racket Boss
Players consistently misunderstand this. Complete the wiretap junction boxes in the area first, and then when you melee the racket boss you will get the option to kill or flip him. Press the punch button rather than the kill button. Check your journal afterwards, which states explicitly whether you killed them or they are working with you. Without the wiretaps the option does not appear at all.
Guide notes
The Missable Count Conflict
Three major sources give three different figures, 9, 12 and 15, with overlapping but non-identical named sets. Publish the union of the named trophies with the source disagreement stated, rather than picking a number. Names appearing across sources include We're in This Together, Just You and Me, Family, The New Boss, No Loose Ends, Live Another Day, Can't Trust a Rat, I'm Goin' In, Softened Em Up, Never Saw It Coming, IRA Don't Ask, I Need a Favor, .45 in My Hand, Flambe and Trust.
Efficient route
Why Two Playthroughs Minimum
Just You and Me requires keeping only one Underboss alive until Yet Here We Are, at 1.0 percent. That directly conflicts with the underboss side mission trophies, since each of the three underbosses has five side missions unlocked progressively as you assign them districts, one after their first district, two more after a second and the last two after a third. Getting all fifteen requires assigning districts equally across all three, which is incompatible with keeping only one alive.
The Underboss Side Mission Structure
Burke's IRA Don't Ask involves stealing multiple versions of specific vehicle types and returning them to his junkyard, noting that the game's automatic waypoint is often not the closest one. Vito's I Need a Favor requires interrogating an informant then killing the targets.
Efficient route
The DLC Sets
Faster Baby, Stones Unturned and Sign of the Times, each with its own trophies and none required for the base platinum. Note the Stones Unturned warning, Big Fat Party Animal needs a gun from the main game so killing Vito may make it unobtainable, meaning another playthrough. Do not kill Vito if you intend to do that DLC.
Definitive Edition
Confirm whether the Definitive Edition carries a separate trophy list, since a separate guide exists for it. If so, note whether it stacks.
Not Mafia 2 or The Old Country
Cross-link our Mafia II brief, where the 1.02 patch is mandatory for the platinum, and the live Mafia: The Old Country page. This is now a three-page series cluster.

Guide notes
Mafia 3 Missable, Glitched, and Difficulty Notes
- Sources conflict badly on the missable count. PlayStationTrophies says 9, Xbox Achievements says 12 and PowerPyx says 15, with overlapping but non-identical named sets.
- Sources also conflict on glitches. Xbox Achievements reports none while PSNProfiles states that trophy glitches will require most people to do at least three playthroughs and possibly more.
- The racket boss flipping trophy has been reported still broken as of patch 1.12, four years after release, with one player on their third playthrough meeting all requirements and receiving nothing.
- The only documented workaround involves playing in a single sitting without turning the console off, which is unreasonable on a 40 to 60 hour game.
- To flip rather than kill a racket boss you must complete the wiretap junction boxes in that area first, then choose punch rather than kill when you melee him. Check your journal to confirm which happened.
- Just You and Me, keeping only one Underboss alive until Yet Here We Are, is the rarest at 1.0 percent and it conflicts with the underboss side mission trophies.
- Each underboss has five side missions unlocked progressively, one after their first assigned district, two more after a second and the last two after a third, so all fifteen requires equal district assignment.
- Difficulty does not affect trophies and there are no online trophies.
- In the Stones Unturned DLC, Big Fat Party Animal needs a gun from the main game, so killing Vito may make it unobtainable.
Quick answers
Frequently Asked Questions
How many playthroughs does the Mafia 3 platinum need?
Guides say two, but PSNProfiles states that trophy glitches will require most people to do at least three and possibly more. On a 40 to 60 hour game that is a substantial difference.
Is the Mafia 3 racket boss trophy still broken?
It has been reported still bugged as of patch 1.12, four years after release, with players meeting every requirement and receiving nothing. Check the current position before relying on your run counting.
How do you flip a racket boss instead of killing him?
Complete the wiretap junction boxes in that area first, then melee the boss and choose punch rather than kill. Without the wiretaps the option never appears. Check your journal to confirm which happened.
How many missable trophies does Mafia 3 have?
Sources disagree, giving 9, 12 and 15 across three major guides with overlapping but different named sets. Work from the union of all three rather than trusting one count.
Why do you need two playthroughs for Mafia 3?
Just You and Me requires keeping only one Underboss alive, which conflicts with the underboss side mission trophies. Those unlock progressively as you assign districts, so all fifteen requires assigning districts equally to all three.
Does difficulty affect trophies in Mafia 3?
No. Play on Easy, and there are no online trophies either. The obstacle on this platinum is glitches rather than difficulty.
Do you need the DLC for the Mafia 3 platinum?
No. Faster Baby, Stones Unturned and Sign of the Times each have their own trophies and none count toward the base platinum.
Should you kill Vito in Mafia 3?
Not if you intend to play the Stones Unturned DLC. Big Fat Party Animal requires a gun from the main game, and killing Vito may make it unobtainable without another playthrough.
