PS5
Nioh 3 ties its platinum to exploring historical periods and understanding systems, not merely defeating main bosses. Ignoring every detour also makes the campaign harder because collection and activities strengthen the character’s options. This roadmap organises regions first, Myths next and technical requirements last. Mission replay enables cleanup; the goal is identifying the missing activity rather than wandering through the whole adventure again.
PS5 base-game trophy roadmap. Additional trophy groups are not required for the platinum.
- Required difficulty: The base route does not require Shogun’s Journey or NG+.
- Missable trophies: Areas and missions can be revisited; check regional counters.
- Online: Co-op is not mandatory: Teamwork also accepts NPCs and Acolytes.
Explore while developing your character
Before moving to the next region, check what your current tools allow you to complete. Find Kodama, springs and route activities rather than leave everything to one final cleanup. This also helps the campaign by giving you more resources and a less improvised setup for new encounters.
- Check regional progress before travelling onward.
Distinguish Samurai and Ninja technical requirements
Not every fight advances the same requirements automatically. The list includes Ninjutsu, Martial Arts and Burst Break, so practise each system against manageable enemies and check progress before changing equipment. Learning the correct action in an ordinary encounter is more reliable than trying an unfamiliar technique against a boss.
- Practise Ninjutsu and Burst Break in a manageable encounter.
Track Myths and masters separately
Finishing the story does not mean every Myth or master encounter is complete. Keep separate lists and check unlocks after major narrative transitions. If a mission is unavailable, look for its in-game prerequisite instead of repeating something already recorded as finished.
- Compare Myth and master checklists against the trophy list.
Check each collectible family
Kodama, Chijiko and Scampusses are different objective groups. When a region appears complete, check the trophy-specific sets too. If an object does not appear where expected, inspect mission state and reload the area before assuming the save is irrecoverably affected.
- Check Kodama, Chijiko, Scampusses and springs separately.
Use Battle Scrolls for mission requirements
Replay the specific content for mission-bound conditions. Before launching, read the required action and bring suitable tools, then check the unlock before leaving. Delay NG+ until this cleanup is checked, because a new difficulty is not the default solution to a missed trophy.
- Identify the right Battle Scroll for each remaining requirement.

Frequently asked questions
Must I finish Shogun’s Journey?
The base-game route does not require it. Check collection, Myths and unfinished missions in the first adventure first.
Does Teamwork force online play?
The description also includes missions with NPCs and Acolytes. Distinguish that condition from co-op with other players.
A collectible does not appear: must I restart?
Do not immediately restart. Check mission state and counter first, then reload or change areas; reported spawn problems have recovered this way.
