Trophy Overview & Roadmap

The Platinum trophy, The True Onimusha, requires completing all in-game challenges across multiple playthroughs. Key hurdles include a no-upgrade run, speedrunning, and S-Rank completion. Below is a step-by-step approach to streamline the process.

Step 1: First Playthrough – Normal Difficulty, No Upgrades

This initial run is all about restraint. To unlock the Gold trophy No Help Needed, you must complete the entire game without upgrading weapons, armor, or using Power/Magic Jewels.

It also allows you to gather collectibles and explore Phantom Realms without overlapping other conditions.

Key Actions:

• Do not enhance weapons or armor.
• Avoid using Power/Magic Jewels.
• Choose Magoichi as your ally to simplify jewel collection.
• Save manually before final boss to reload and unlock upgrade-based trophies later.

Likely Trophies Unlocked in This Phase:

• No Help Needed – Complete game without upgrades
• Nice Place You Got Here – Complete your first Phantom Realm
• Walking Library, Map Maniac – Collect all files/maps
• Gone in a Flash – Use a Critical to kill a demon
• Forgive and Forget – Gift a Wonder Flower

Step 2: Second Playthrough – Hard Mode + Black Necklace + Puzzles

With Hard difficulty now unlocked, this run is perfect for cleaning up collectibles, puzzle boxes, and character gifts.

The Black Necklace gives you permanent criticals at the cost of HP—excellent for harder enemies.

Black Necklace Method:

1. Collect 3 Fossilized Bones by gifting:
   • Ekei: Frog or History Book #3
   • Magoichi: Oolong Tea or Wasabi
   • Kotaro: Cloth or Lemon
2. Give all Oyu’s preferred gifts, use the bones to open the secret chest in Oni Palace.

Likely Trophies Unlocked in This Phase:

• Treasure Trove – Open all puzzle boxes
• Trusty Teach – Score an A in Oyu’s fencing lesson
• Serious Synergy – Gift combo with ally
• Check Out My Collection! – Max all weapons
• Top Condition, Massive Mana Pool

Step 3: Third Playthrough – Ultimate Mode + S-Rank + Speedrun

Once Hard mode is cleared, Ultimate Mode becomes available (toggle from Special Features). This run is optimized for efficiency and skill.

You can combine three major trophies:

• Ultimate Demon – Complete Ultimate Mode
• Sorry, Coming Through! – Finish under 5 hours
• Pro-nimusha – Earn an S-Rank

S-Rank Requirements:

• Time: Under 5 hours
• Souls: 120,000+
• Enemies: 900+
• Criticals: 450+
• Phantom Floors: All 41
• Scenario Completion: 65%+

Tips:

• Use Rekka-Ken (infinite magic in Ultimate Mode)
• Farm Spinning Spike Genma in Purple Phantom Realm for crits
• Maximize criticals using Black Necklace outside realms

Step 4: Final Cleanup – Minigames + Character Scenarios

This step is used to:

• Max out ally scenarios for Fashion Model (Oyu) and Legendary Warrior (Jubei)
• Clear minigames from Special Features

Key Trophies:

• Super Slider – Complete Puzzle Phantom Realm
• Stylish Samurai – Clear “The Man in Black” in under 5 mins
• Gathering Forces – Beat Team Oni gauntlet

Use Ultimate Mode on Easy to breeze through remaining scenarios and gifts. Check story completion % in Special Features > Story Progress.

Missable Trophies (Watchlist)

These can be permanently missed if not handled during their window:

• Sharpshooter – All ranged weapons
• Running Flames – Complete Purple Phantom Realm
• Trusty Teach, Forgive and Forget, Serious Synergy – Gift and ally event-based
• Walking Library, Map Maniac – All files/maps

Use all 20 manual save slots to cover branching choices.

Hardest Trophies (Tactical Focus)

No Help Needed

Complete the game without upgrades. Stick to orb farming, criticals, and avoid healing unless necessary. Magoichi’s range is ideal support.

Pro-nimusha (S-Rank)

Achieve 55+ points across all categories. You must:

• Kill fast and efficiently
• Maximize criticals (Black Necklace helps)
• Clear Phantom Realms
• Finish under 5 hours
• Complete most of a single ally’s storyline

Ultimate Demon

Beat the game in Ultimate Mode. Use Rekka-Ken and conserve items for final bosses. The mode gives you powerful starting equipment, but enemy aggression is high.

Bonus Tips for Smooth Completion

• Save Before Bosses: Especially Nobunaga and the final statue
• Farming Spots: Use Phantom Realms and Oni Keep room to grind crits
• Puzzle Realm: Track artwork and use solutions per floor
• Gift Tracking: Prioritize one ally per run to avoid scenario conflicts
• Weapon Strategy:
  • Buraitou – Lightning sword, great for stunning Ginghamphatts
  • Dokoutsui – Earth hammer, effective against heavy mobs in Realms
  • Rekka-Ken – Fire sword, overpowered in Ultimate, best for speedruns
