PS4
Choose each run’s ally and purpose before starting. A no-upgrade clear, a Hard clear and the Ultimate run have different priorities. Use the scenario report to identify the missing scenes instead of making the same choices in Imasho each time.
The 2025 PS4 remaster has 56 trophies. Friendship scenarios require multiple runs; Hell is an extra mode with no dedicated trophy.
- PS4 trophy set: 56 trophies, all offline
- Targets: A sub-five-hour clear and S rank are separate goals
- Cleanup: Use manual saves; there is no chapter select
Clear Normal without enhancing
On Normal avoid weapon enhancements and jewel use, but collect the jewels you find for a later branch. Magoichi is a good first ally for collectible detours. Save before points of no return and keep the clean run separate from the branch where you use souls and jewels for upgrade trophies.
- Do not accept a switch to Easy when the game offers it after a loss.
Track friendships and gifts
Prioritise one ally per run when pursuing scenarios and check the gifts that open specific scenes. Oyu also needs the ring and comb. For Kotaro, check the early upstairs meeting after talking to the people near the blacksmith. When you find a new scene, finish the story to record it.
- Check Story Progress from the menu and plan the next ally around the missing entries.
Unlock Ultimate and prepare the Black Necklace
Finish Hard to unlock Ultimate. For the Black Necklace trade for one Fossilized Bone each from Ekei, Magoichi and Kotaro; save before offering gifts because the response can vary. Take the three bones to the secret door in Oni Palace. The necklace makes critical hits easier but spends health when you attack.
- Keep healing for the endgame and check that Ultimate is enabled in Special Features before the next run.
Combine speed and S rank in Ultimate
Aim below five hours without rushing past every fight. S rank also considers souls, kills, criticals, Phantom Realm floors and scenario progress. Arrange the first two realms with Kotaro if you want all the floors. Save before the final sequence so you can raise a counter if the result is below S.
- Use Ultimate on Hard for a score run and target 55 points in the final evaluation.
Finish minigames, outfits and boxes
Finish The Man in Black, Team Oni and Puzzle Phantom Realm from Extras. The puzzle mode does not replace the number and tablet boxes in the story. For Oyu’s outfit check all branches in Story Progress; choosing the same friendship on another run does not count if you never see the alternate scene.
- Check the three minigame trophies and the two story box collections separately.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to clear Hell?
No. Clear Hard to open Ultimate, then finish Ultimate for its trophy. The remaster’s Hell mode is optional.
Why is my scenario missing from the report?
Seeing the scene is only the first step. Finish the run containing it, then check the report in the menu after the credits.
Do the minigames need a separate story run?
No. The Man in Black, Team Oni and Puzzle Phantom Realm are available from the remaster menu. Their objectives are separate from the story Phantom Realms.
