You could do all the trophy weapons at once and while still in the blacksmith screen and before backing out of it wait for the trophy to ding and then just reset the console - it saves a playthrough but I haven't tried it personally yet just read about it.

Also a 3rd run doesn't increase the difficulty anywhere near as much as going from first play to NG+
I'll have to work out what I'm still missing after doing the third run. I have the feeling I'm going to get fucked over on the weapon upgrades. There are some I haven't come across the pure stones for yet (which I would have assumed I would have done already) I still have to go onto Dark souls after this
