Life After the End

SilverFull guideCollapse

Reach the ending of the game.

GradeSilver

MissableNo

How to earn it

Complete the main story and reach the credits. Story-forced and unmissable — you'll get it just by finishing your first playthrough.

Tip

Play your first run on Easy to breeze the story and focus on soaking up documents, shrines and paintings as you go.

The End of Reincarnation

SilverFull guideCollapse

Defeat the Beast of Reincarnation.

GradeSilver

MissableNo

How to earn it

Beat the final boss, the Beast of Reincarnation, at the climax of the story. Pops alongside the ending.

Tip

On Easy the final fight is very manageable. Come in with a fully-charged healing stock and your strongest blade.

Reincarnated

SilverFull guideCollapse

Clear New Game+.

GradeSilver

MissableNo

How to earn it

Finish a full New Game+ playthrough — the platinum's biggest time sink. Your gear, levels and Blade Arts carry over, so NG+ is much faster (~10 hours) than the first run.

Tip

NG+ scales up to roughly Normal difficulty if you played the first run on Easy — comfortable, not brutal. Use NG+ to grab the one blade you save for last and to top your Keeper Golem count to 30.

Rangifer's End

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Defeat Rangifer.

How to earn it

Defeat Rangifer, a giant deer/plant Nushi. First fought at the lake beneath the Cliff-Facing Tower in Chapter 1 (and again, stronger, later). Story-mandatory, so it can't be missed. Its elemental weakness is Flame — coat your weapon/arrows accordingly for far more damage. Fighting at close range is safer — it cuts off its ranged attacks; stay under it and punish between swings.

Tip

If it walls you, farm a few levels, exploit the Flame weakness, and lean on Koo's arts and Entanglement Overdrive to burst it down.

Lacerta's End

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Defeat Lacerta.

How to earn it

Defeat Lacerta, a multi-phase Nushi. Fought in the Reservoir arena in Chapter 2. Story-mandatory, so it can't be missed. Its elemental weakness is Lightning — coat your weapon/arrows accordingly for far more damage. Switch to ranged weapons while it's airborne, and counterattack after its longer attack sequences end.

Tip

If it walls you, farm a few levels, exploit the Lightning weakness, and lean on Koo's arts and Entanglement Overdrive to burst it down.

Ursa's End

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Defeat Ursa.

How to earn it

Defeat Ursa, a two-phase bear Nushi that fully restores its health mid-fight. Fought at Starfall Tower in Chapter 10. Story-mandatory, so it can't be missed. Its elemental weakness is Acid — coat your weapon/arrows accordingly for far more damage. Play hit-and-run rather than staying aggressive — dip in for a couple of hits, then reset before its big swings.

Tip

If it walls you, farm a few levels, exploit the Acid weakness, and lean on Koo's arts and Entanglement Overdrive to burst it down.

Corvus's End

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Defeat Corvus.

How to earn it

Defeat Corvus, a bird-type Nushi that spends much of the fight airborne. Fought at the Giant Tree in Chapter 7. Story-mandatory, so it can't be missed. Its elemental weakness is Lightning — coat your weapon/arrows accordingly for far more damage. Swap to ranged weapons whenever Corvus takes flight; punish on its landings.

Tip

If it walls you, farm a few levels, exploit the Lightning weakness, and lean on Koo's arts and Entanglement Overdrive to burst it down.

Erymanth's End

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Defeat Erymanth.

How to earn it

Defeat Erymanth, a highly aggressive Nushi. Fought in Chapter 12. Story-mandatory, so it can't be missed. Its elemental weakness is Explosive — coat your weapon/arrows accordingly for far more damage. Dodge its powerful charge attacks and punish the recovery windows they leave open.

Tip

If it walls you, farm a few levels, exploit the Explosive weakness, and lean on Koo's arts and Entanglement Overdrive to burst it down.

Taurus's End

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Defeat Taurus.

How to earn it

Defeat Taurus, a very mobile Nushi. Fought in the Pilgrim's Zone in Chapter 4. Story-mandatory, so it can't be missed. Its elemental weakness is Acid — coat your weapon/arrows accordingly for far more damage. Many of its attacks are unblockable, so dodge rather than parry; stay patient and don't overcommit.

Tip

If it walls you, farm a few levels, exploit the Acid weakness, and lean on Koo's arts and Entanglement Overdrive to burst it down.

Koo de Grâce

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Defeat Koo's Nushi form.

How to earn it

Defeat Koo's Nushi form. A late-game story boss — the emotional fight against your own corrupted companion, Koo, transformed into a Nushi. Story-mandatory and unmissable. Read its attacks patiently, dodge its lunges and punish between combos.

Tip

Bring your strongest build and plenty of healing; treat it like the game's other Nushi — find the safe punish window after each combo.

Shidou & Nue

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Defeat Shidou and Nue.

How to earn it

Defeat the dual boss Shidou and Nue. First fought in Chapter 3. Story-mandatory, so it can't be missed. Its elemental weakness is Poison — coat your weapon/arrows accordingly for far more damage. Never stand between the two — reposition so they line up, and focus whichever one is actively attacking.

Tip

If it walls you, farm a few levels, exploit the Poison weakness, and lean on Koo's arts and Entanglement Overdrive to burst it down.

Kunai & Kirin

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Defeat Kunai and Kirin.

How to earn it

Defeat the paired boss Kunai and Kirin. First appears in Chapter 8. Story-mandatory, so it can't be missed. Its elemental weakness is Poison — coat your weapon/arrows accordingly for far more damage. Focus all your damage on a single target to drop it fast, rather than splitting attacks across both.

Tip

If it walls you, farm a few levels, exploit the Poison weakness, and lean on Koo's arts and Entanglement Overdrive to burst it down.
