PS3 / PS4
Use a first run to unlock the Timeline and learn the fights. When revisiting events, separate S ranks from secret actions and factors. Some actions need both choices, while you can take the route you handle best for the S rank.
The PS3 Storm 3 set and the PS4 Full Burst set have very similar base goals. This guide flags the differences and covers the additional challenges separately.
- Trophy sets: PS3 and PS4, each displaying 55 trophies.
- Campaign: Ultimate Adventure, fragments and the Ninja World Timeline.
- Version difference: Ready to Roll on PS3; Ultimate Adventure playtime on PS4.
Finish the story and open the fragments
Clear the chapters and visit villages when they become available. Check the fragments after the ending and follow requests that open extra fights. Equip healing tools in the Hero set. Preparing them before a replay can save a good S-rank attempt.
- Check the fragments and prepare at least one set of healing tools.
Replay bosses on the Hero route
Open fights from the Timeline and choose Hero if you want access to healing. Top up before the finishing blow and learn the interactive prompts rather than improvising them. If the fight branches, one route is enough for S rank; save the other for Secret Actions.
- Check bosses one by one, including The Last Battle.
Record Secret Factors and Actions
Collect stars during cinematic inputs for Secret Factors. Check the actions for The Nine Tails’ Attack, Hero and Avenger and Threat of the Seven Swordsmen separately. Replay the relevant Hero and Legend branches; earning an S rank does not guarantee the other route’s action has registered.
- Check both choices in events that offer them.
Complete the Timeline and battle trophies
Look for missing Ninja World Timeline episodes, including those outside the main story. Use a free battle for the fifty-hit combo, ring-out and team finisher. On PS3, also customise ninja tools for Ready to Roll. On PS4, check your Ultimate Adventure playtime.
- Check your console’s list for the objectives that differ.
Track the Full Burst group separately
For the extra group, face Kabuto in Brothers, United and replay the fight for an S rank. Then work through Mission Battles: ten Image Pieces and fifty missions are intermediate milestones, but Enlightenment needs every mission. Mission Battles are in the extra group. If Conquered Formidables does not appear after the base bosses on an updated edition, try the Brothers, United S rank before replaying the others.
- Do not mistake the first Mission Battles milestone for full completion.

Frequently asked questions
Are PS3 and PS4 requirements identical?
Not entirely. PS3 asks for tool customisation, while PS4 tracks time in Ultimate Adventure.
Do I need S ranks on both branches?
One branch is enough for the boss S rank. Do both where required to register Secret Actions.
Do I need to play online?
No. The covered sets can be earned in the story, local battles and extra challenges.
