Trophy Guide — Platinum Roadmap and 100%
Quick Answer
Onimusha Way of the Sword has 52 trophies (1 Platinum) and the Platinum takes roughly 60–70 hours across two playthroughs: clear the story, clean up collectibles, run New Game+ on Carnage (locks the True Onimusha gold), then finish Boss Rematch on all difficulties (Glutton for Punishment). Nothing is missable — after the credits you can Continue back to before the final mission. The upgrade trophies need 53 Power Stones + 54 Oni Stones (Well-Rounded) and 25 Fine Silk Cloths + 25 Tamahagane (Dressed to Kill).
Who this is for: trophy hunters planning the run, and anyone asking “is the Platinum hard / how many playthroughs”.
Platinum Roadmap
- Run 1 — Story (Action difficulty): play with Action Prompts OFF so you are used to parry/Issen without them (Carnage disables them anyway). Complete the story to unlock Carnage.
- Cleanup before the final mission: free-roam before “The Clash at Rendaino” — Mysteries of Kyoto (8), Chance Encounters (18), Lion Dogs (36), chests and materials. Nothing is permanently missable (NG+ guide).
- Run 2 — NG+ on Carnage: clears True Onimusha and most combat trophies; rewards a special weapon that makes Boss Rematch faster (gamingpromax).
- Boss Rematch: beat every boss on every difficulty (guide) — Carnage clears count for lower difficulties.
- Mop-up: drill-based trophies (Issen, Chain Issen, Blazing etc.) via the Practice Grounds drills if you are short.
