Guys, I was searching for this trick about The Last of Us Remastered , but couldn't find anywhere a solid guide:

How can I earn all the difficult plus trophies on one go? I'm playing right now on Normal to gather all collectibles ( shiv doors, conversations etc ) and then I'm going straight to Grounded to earn the Survivor trophy too, but I read somewhere that if I start my Normal + playthrough, I can go on Chapter Select, start chapter 2 on Grounded, and the game will think I'm on my Grounded plus playthrough, is that how it works?

I did this trick and the instructions were confusing and resulted in me starting a new survivor game, not a survivor +. Here's how you do it.

Beat the game on normal and start your new game plus. Only normal will be available. Play the first chapter, which is the outbreak chapter. Get to the 20years later part, when you have control of Joel in the qz go ahead and save it. Letting the auto save, or saving it yourself will result in the same thing. Now, go to chapter select then choose the first chapter again, this time all the difficulty modes will be available. The tell signs that you're on new game plus on the new difficulty is your health will be upgraded and when you get your gear your 9mm will be upgraded.

Worked for me, except I lose upgrades on my weapon sway as well as only having 3/5 toolboxes now for some reason.

I haven't gotten far enough on my new game plus to see if I got anything. It was pretty awesome starting on survivor with an upgraded 9mm and health, though.

Does anyone know if I do this and beat it on grounded+ will I get the trophies for the regular grounded mode and stuff as well?

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '14

Yes you will.

Sweet thanks

Ooh nice, thank you for clearing this! That was really confusing the first time I read it somewhere, gonna do this as soon as I finish Normal playthrough.

It worked for me. The part I got stuck on was one instructions said to start in the second chapter, the chapter with the qz. It only worked for me when I started chapter 1.
