PS4 / PS5
Kena combines thorough exploration with a genuine combat test on Master difficulty. Use the initial journey to learn arenas and develop abilities while recording enemy-specific actions. Once areas have been cleared, not every encounter remains available, so postponing all combat trophies until the ending can mean another playthrough. The later Master phase is about controlled resource management rather than simply revisiting familiar scenery.
Original PS4 and PS5 trophy lists; added trials and update content do not replace Master completion.
- Required difficulty: You must finish the story on Master difficulty.
- Missable trophies: Preserve combat-trophy opportunities with saves before arenas.
- Online: The platinum route is single-player and offline.
Prepare first-story combat
Before entering an arena, identify its enemies and your available powers. Arrow, bomb and parry trophies demand particular actions: weaken targets when appropriate and group them rather than immediately using your strongest attacks. Keep a save before the encounter and check the unlock before moving on. Shielded enemies must be approached according to the condition, because destroying their protection first can invalidate the attempt.
- Review conditions before clearing the available encounters.
Track Rot and hats separately
Use area summaries to separate Rot, hats and unfinished restoration tasks. Rot also expand your combat resources, so collecting them supports the difficult route. The hat trophy requires fifty hats, whereas the Rot trophy requires the complete collection. An impressive chest does not finish every category; compare the local counter and return when a new ability opens a previously inaccessible detour.
- Compare each collection with its own counter.
Finish village restoration
Spirit Mail unlocks homes containing further activities. Treat it as an access chain: retrieve a letter, deliver it to the corresponding house, clear its corruption and then check the remaining objects. Include flower shrines, cursed chests and meditation spots in this route. Meditation improves health, making these locations useful preparation even when you are not actively pursuing their separate trophy.
- Deliver mail and inspect newly opened houses.
Approach Master with a plan
Clear the story once to unlock Master, then choose the route supported by your installed version. Updates also offer New Game+, whose additional enemies make it different from the initial campaign. Practise dodges and parries using animation cues, preserve healing for demanding phases and assign a purpose to each Rot action. Do not base the entire plan on old difficulty-switch exploits that may rely on unavailable patches.
- Check mode and difficulty before starting the decisive run.
Audit the save before the finale
Before treating collection and Master as finished, compare the PlayStation list with your save. Ability completion requires the relevant upgrades, while a visually restored area may still hide a shrine or meditation point. Recover missing objectives from an appropriate save instead of restarting without a reason. For combat-only leftovers, return to a preserved encounter containing both the necessary power opportunity and enemy type.
- Separate a missing requirement from a general completion indicator.

Frequently asked questions
Can I earn everything on Story difficulty?
No. Story can support learning and collecting, but Master Spirit Guide requires Master completion. Lowering difficulty during that run undermines the condition.
Must I obtain every hat?
The verified trophy asks for fifty hats. Do not confuse it with collecting every Rot or later cosmetic additions.
Can I leave every combat task for cleanup?
That is risky because cleared areas do not always reproduce the same enemies. Preserve encounter saves and attempt specific actions when their opportunity appears.
