Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus

Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus platinum guide on PS Vita

Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus

PS Vita

Split the work into three parts: campaign collections, Master Ninja chapter ranks and Ninja Trials. Use a manageable run to learn enemies and save points, then face the highest difficulty with a chapter-by-chapter plan. Coin trials have their own separate menu.

51 offline trophies for Sigma Plus on PS Vita. Sigma 2 Plus and the Master Collection are outside this guide.

  • Trophy list: 51 trophies, all offline.
  • Missables: Check scarabs, ambushes and logos before transitions.
  • Trials: 76 missions for the platinum coin set.

Plan a run for scarabs, logos and ambushes

Before leaving an area, check its golden scarabs, Team Ninja logos and optional ambushes. Keep several saves before area transitions. Set aside a run for the essence balance if weapon upgrades keep you below 99,999; spending before the trophy threshold means earning the balance again.

  • Do not chase a high rank in the same attempt as exploring every unfamiliar side path.

Open higher difficulties

Clear Hard to open Very Hard, then Very Hard to open Master Ninja. Experienced players can unlock difficulties by beating Doku in chapter 2, but learning that shortcut is optional. Set up a clean rank file and learn the required encounters before entering the top difficulty.

  • Check the difficulty menu before starting the rank run.

Check the rank after each chapter

Rank depends on time, kills, essence and Ninpo use. Keep pace through familiar fights and add ambushes only where you can clear them reliably. Save before the results screen and check the rank; if Master Ninja is missing, retry before carrying a low result onward.

  • Do not mistake a chapter clear for confirmation of its rank.

Finish the trials and check their coins

Use the early Ninja Trial groups to learn their restrictions before harder attempts. Each mission awards the coin tied to its difficulty; a Master Ninja clear earns platinum. Check the group-clear requirements, including Unearthed Challenge and Eternal Legend, before marking the board complete.

  • Track all 76 missions and do not treat campaign difficulty clears as trial coins.

Finish remaining weapon and technique counters

Rotate the weapons with 1,000-kill trophies through your easier runs, and do not neglect Rachel. If a Ninpo or throw counter remains, give repeatable encounters to that one move. Team Ninja logos can refill Ninpo; mark their locations while pursuing the logo trophy.

  • Compare the individual counters with the list and skip completed ones.

Frequently asked questions

Do trials need a connection?

No. Ninja Trials and the campaign are part of the offline Vita list.

Does Master Ninja cover lower ranks?

Campaign difficulty and rank stacking has been documented, but verify the unlocks. Trial progress is tracked separately.

Can I use Hero Mode for everything?

It can help with some counters, but it does not replace Master Ninja ranks or their trial coins.
