Complete Gameplay Challenges as Naoe
| Trophy | How to Get |
|---|---|
|
Adept Shinobi
|
Perform your first assassination by killing your first enemy with Naoe's hidden blade. |
|
Acrobatics
|
Perform a leap of faith from a grappling hook swing. |
|
Hook, Line, and Swinger
|
Stay airborne while swinging from one grappling hook point to another in the final flooded chamber of the Old Kofun since it is easy to retry the challenge if you fail in this room. |
|
Just Your Shadow
|
Distract the same enemy 3 times with the Shinobi Bell tool. To unlock this tool for Naoe, you'll need Knowledge Rank 2 and at least 1 Mastery Point. |
|
Master Shinobi
|
Unlock the Shoji Door Assassination passive in the Assassin Mastery tree and kill an enemy through a shoji panel. |
|
Reeding is Fundamental
|
Unlock the Shallow Water Breathing passive in the Shinobi Mastery tree and escape conflict by using the breathing reed to hide in shallow water. |
|
Sometimes
|
Unlock the Igan Roll passive in the Shinobi Mastery tree by reaching Knowledge Rank 2 and spending 1 Mastery Point. Then, perform a landing roll with the newly unlocked passive. |
|
Unseen
|
Perform 5 assassinations in a row without being noticed or entering combat. This can be easily completed by sneaking around in a Castle. |
Playing as Naoe will allow you to get 8 trophies, all of which are related to abilities in her Tools, Shinobi, and Assassination Mastery trees.
Complete Gameplay Challenges as Yasuke
| Trophy | How to Get |
|---|---|
|
Adept Samurai
|
Perform your first Finisher as Yasuke. This happens automatically once you kill the final enemy in a combat instance. |
|
Adventurer
|
Use a Bow and shoot any enemy in the knee with an arrow. |
|
Good Form
|
Complete your first Kata. |
|
Leap of Fail
|
Unlock a Viewpoint, fast travel to it as Yasuke, then do a leap of faith from it to get this trophy. |
|
Master Samurai
|
Parry an incoming projectile as Yasuke. Get the Protector's Armor from Nijo Palace to make parrying easier. |
|
This is Japan, Actually
|
Use Yasuke's Kick ability to propel an enemy from a high place. |
|
Unstoppable
|
Use Yasuke's Samurai Stand ability before performing a Finisher on an enemy. |
Playing as Yasuke can earn you 7 trophies and most of them are pretty straightforward. If you have enough progress in the game during Act 1, most of these will be a breeze to earn once you unlock Yasuke in Act 2.
Complete Gameplay Challenges as Naoe or Yasuke
| Trophy | How to Get |
|---|---|
|
Scouting Mission
|
Use your Scouts to gather information while you have a quest active. |
|

|

|
After killing an enemy with Bleed, sheathe your weapon to get this trophy. |
|
Overdesign III
|
Perform a Finisher on an enemy that is both Poisoned and Dazed. |
The non-character specific challenges above will net you 4 trophies. However, 3 out of 4 will be pretty tricky to get without prior planning. The easiest to get will be Scouting Mission, while the rest will require you to upgrade equipment or juggle afflictions during combat.
Max Out Mastery Trees for Naoe and Yasuke
| Trophy | How to Get |
|---|---|
|
Art of Ninjutsu
|
Max out Naoe's Shinobi Mastery tree. |
|
Art of Kenjutsu
|
Max out Yasuke's Samurai Mastery tree. |
|
In Case of Trouble
|
Max out the Naoe's Tools Mastery tree and Yasuke's Teppo and Bow Mastery tree. |
The 3 trophies for Mastery tree completion will all be pretty difficult to get, mostly because some of the ability upgrades are locked behind story progress. You'll also need to reach Knowledge Rank 6 in order to gain access to all available skills and their upgrades.

|
Make it Personal
|

|---|---|
|
Sole Sanctum
