Roadmap

Ace Combat 8 Trophy & Platinum Guide

Quick answer

Platinum is offline-friendly but long: clear campaign (Elite → Ace), S-rank all 30 on Ace, collect Assault Records, medals, and grind toward 25,000,000 MRP to buy the Aircraft Tree. Estimate ~150+ hours if starting from zero.

Campaign Play-sourced

Roadmap

  1. Elite campaign — unlock Ace; don’t skip takeoff/landing/refuel for By the Book; grab story mission trophies.
  2. Assault Records — Veteran+ replays / Free Mission for named aces.
  3. Ace + all S-ranks — Ace of Aces (Free Mission OK).
  4. Cleanup — medals, wingman command trophies, 25M MRP, buy all planes/parts/weapons.

  • Shadow 24 in Mission 18 gates Lux Lunae 22nd in Mission 28.
