PS4 / PS5
Ishin ties its platinum to two completion records and substantial smithing work. Finishing the story and selecting Legend at the correct moment resolve only part of the project; minigames, bonds and materials remain separate systems. Reduce repetition during the first campaign through interactions along normal routes and Virtue development. Preserve an identifiable save before the ending, then use Premium Adventure for cleanup. Original-version instructions do not automatically apply to the remake’s economy and recipes.
2023 PS4 and PS5 remake. Specific requirements differ from the original Japanese release.
- Required difficulty: Legend completion is required; it can be selected before the final sequence.
- Missable trophies: Activities remain recoverable in Premium Adventure.
- Online: No online trophies.
Develop Virtue during the story
Inspect upgrades improving Virtue gains and use repeatable interactions along normal routes. Wells, pots and shrines have objectives that become tedious if all postponed. Record finished targets and stop repeating an interaction once its relevant milestone is secured.
- Check Diligence Records during ordinary travel.
Prepare Legend before the ending
Keep a save before the concluding sequence and check difficulty before it can no longer be changed. The finale’s Okita meeting at the barracks is a useful checkpoint for this decision. Prepare equipment and healing before entering the lengthy combat sequence.
- Confirm Legend before the conversation starting the final fights.
Separate Completion List and Diligence Records
The two records are not different names for one counter. Keep a table of unfinished categories and dedicate sessions to combat, daily life or minigames. A high total in one record does not cover a missing entry in the other; inspect both before choosing the next task.
- Check both records after every cleanup session.
Build a smithing plan
Before spending money and materials, compare recipes, crafted items and needed seals. The collection requires variety, not merely one powerful weapon. Keep rare materials until their recipe is identified and combine farming routes that serve several outstanding components.
- Record recipes and seals before consuming rare materials.
Treat minigames and Ultimate Challenges separately
Minigames have specific requirements that character level cannot solve. Practise the missing challenge and inspect its score or rank target. Ultimate Challenges also have their own conditions; finish their list rather than assume a Legend story victory covers them.
- Check Ultimate Challenges separately from the Legend ending.

Frequently asked questions
Must I replay the whole campaign on Legend?
The verified route allows selecting it before the final sequence. Prepare the change before the point of no return.
Does one powerful weapon complete smithing?
No. The record needs different items and seals; crafting variety is separate from build damage.
Can I clean up after the credits?
Yes, through Premium Adventure. Still retain a pre-ending save for the Legend check.
