Exploration & Completion
Cats, photo spots, fugitives, minigames and the world-completion grind — the relaxed cleanup that fills out the platinum.
Collector
BronzeFull guideCollapseEarned your first Completion Reward.
Collector
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Earn your first Completion Reward — granted for hitting a completion milestone in a region (activities, outposts and points of interest cleared). It arrives quickly as you tidy up early content.
Tip
Completion Rewards hand out gear, sen and materials, so chasing regional completion pays for itself. Treat the region progress bar as a to-do list and the rewards follow.
Fresh Start
BronzeFull guideCollapseRemodeled your longhouse for the first time.
Fresh Start
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Remodel your longhouse — the player home — for the first time. Open the customization menu and change any furnishing, layout or décor option.
Tip
The longhouse is also your hub for Technology Development and stashing gear. While you're in the menu, glance at what crafting and upgrades it unlocks so you actually use it.
Cheater Beater
BronzeFull guideCollapseCaught 5 cheaters while playing Odds and Evens.
Cheater Beater
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Catch 5 cheaters while playing the Odds and Evens dice minigame. When an opponent cheats, a prompt appears — call it out, and do so five times across your games.
Tip
Head to a gambling den and play Odds and Evens repeatedly; cheaters appear at random, so keep playing and stay alert for the call-out prompt. You'll bank the five over a handful of sessions.
Contraption Creator
BronzeFull guideCollapseConducted Technology Development 15 times.
Contraption Creator
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Conduct Technology Development 15 times — the research/crafting done at your longhouse to unlock new tools and upgrades. Keep developing items until you've done it 15 times total.
Tip
Feed it the materials you pick up from exploration and combat; you'll naturally develop useful gadgets (better grappling hook, gliders, gunpowder) and tick past 15 without grinding for it.
Fancy Meeting You Here
BronzeFull guideCollapseHad 50 Chance Encounters.
Fancy Meeting You Here
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Trigger 50 Chance Encounters — the random roadside events (stranded travellers, ambushes, impromptu duels) you run into while exploring. They accumulate simply from moving around the map.
Tip
Travel on horseback between objectives instead of fast-travelling everywhere. The encounters only fire during free roam, so the more you ride the open roads, the faster this fills.
Moneybags
BronzeFull guideCollapseSaved 150,000 sen.
Moneybags
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Hold 150,000 sen at once — it's about having the balance, not spending it. Sell surplus gear and materials and hold off on big purchases until the counter clears 150k.
Tip
Right before you push for it, bulk-sell your duplicate weapons and armour at a merchant. Once the trophy pops you're free to spend it all again — you never actually lose the money.
Well-Rounded Ronin
BronzeFull guideCollapseReached Level 55.
Well-Rounded Ronin
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Reach character Level 55. Levels come from completing main and Bond Missions, fugitive hunts and open-world activities — essentially everything you do.
Tip
If you're a little short near the end, farm fugitives and enemy camps. They give strong combat XP and also feed Shadow Stalker and Keeper of the Peace, so the grind does triple duty.
Sightseer
SilverFull guideCollapseCompleted all photograph spots.
Sightseer
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Complete all 44 photograph spots across the three regions — Yokohama, Edo and Kyoto. Each is a scenic viewpoint marked on your map; travel there, raise the camera, frame the highlighted subject and take the shot. You unlock the camera during the 'Locating the Camera' main quest, and none of the spots are missable.
Tip
Some spots only register at a specific time of day — if a shot won't count, open the Pocketwatch, switch between day and night, and retake it. Liberating a region fills its map in with the camera icons, so clear a region's map markers first, then sweep its photo spots in one loop.
Cats Over All
SilverFull guideCollapseCollected all cats.
Cats Over All
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Pet all 100 cats to collect them — 40 in Yokohama, 36 in Edo and 24 in Kyoto. They perch on rooftops, sit outside shops and shrines, and tuck themselves into alleys and enemy camps throughout each region's towns. Walk up and use the interact prompt on each one.
Tip
Calico cats bolt if you startle them, so crouch and approach those slowly. Hand your collected cats in for rewards at your base in the pleasure district (unlocked through the story), and don't worry about missing any — all 100 can be finished in free roam after the credits.
Dive of the Ronin
BronzeFull guideCollapseGlided from the elevated deck at Kiyomizudera Temple.
Dive of the Ronin
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Glide from the elevated wooden deck at Kiyomizudera Temple in Kyoto. Climb up to the temple's famous overhanging platform and use the glider to leap off into the air.
Tip
Fast-travel to Kiyomizudera, climb to the very top of the balcony platform, then jump and immediately open the glider — the trophy pops as soon as you're airborne from the deck.
