Story & Myths
Nioh 3's story trophies trace the main Myths from your first jump through time to your appointment as the third shogun — every one is unmissable and replayable from the world map. The campaign hands you both Gold trophies (Answering to the People and As Shogun) plus the chain of Crucinite Guardian-Spirit fights. They're flagged Secret in-game as they trace the plot. Save the tougher veteran duels for when your build is ready — nothing here can be lost.
