The five collectible trophies sit between 3.7% and 3.9%, and the gold for all of them at 7.7%: the trophies are bugged
92 collectibles across five types, no per-chapter counter and trophies that unlock late, early or never. The exact breakdown, how they are tracked and the cloud-save protocol that protects each of the six trophies.
And it counts towards For your eyes only, Recovered assets, Casino Royale, A legacy of spycraft, A collector’s habit, required for the platinum.
92 across five types and a counter that is not per chapter
There are 92 collectibles and each type has its trophy: 36 cards for Casino Royale (3.7%), 23 MI6 files for For your eyes only (3.7%), 14 mementos for Recovered assets (3.8%), 10 postcards for The world is not enough (3.9%) and 9 legacy items for A legacy of spycraft (3.8%). All 92 together are A collector's habit (7.7%), one of the three golds.
Nothing is missable: there is chapter select and everything is recoverable. The inconvenience is tracking: the touchpad counter only counts by type, not by chapter, and in some story sections it is not even available. If you are missing one card out of 36, the game will not tell you which chapter it is in.
That is why it pays to collect them on the first run following a per-chapter list, rather than coming back later to hunt the missing one across 17 chapters.
The bugs and the cloud-save protocol
The figure that does not add up: each partial trophy is held by between 3.7% and 3.9%, but the gold for all 92 is held by 7.7%. Twice as many people have "all" as have any of the parts. That does not happen with trophies that work.
What is documented: the five collectible trophies unlock 30-90 seconds late; some players hold all 36 cards and their counter sits at 35/36; others had the game crash on picking up the last memento and the trophy never popped; and some have seen A collector's habit pop with half the set collected. The bugs run both ways.
The protocol: before picking up the last collectible of each type, upload the save to PS Plus cloud. If the trophy does not appear, download the backup, disconnect the console from the internet and pick up the last one again. Playing offline seems to help, because the bugs point at server synchronisation.
With 92 collectibles and five types, that is five cloud backups. It is the only real protection and each one costs a minute.
Before the last collectible of each type, upload your save to the cloud. If the trophy does not pop, download the backup, disconnect the console and pick it up again.
