Onimusha: Warlords

PS4

Keep a copy of your Normal save before making late upgrades. It helps split trophies that forbid upgraded swords and healing from those that reward using them. Collect all Fluorite before trying for S rank: it opens the minigame that unlocks Ultimate.

The PS4 remaster of the PS2 classic has 56 solo trophies. Normal and Ultimate clears have different goals.

  • Collectibles: 20 Fluorite in one run to open Oni Spirits
  • Dark Realm: 20 floors; the Bishamon Ocarina is at the bottom
  • S rank: Under 3 hours, at least 55,000 souls and 600 enemies; leave a margin

Keep a clean Normal run

Start on Normal. Collect jewels without using them, leave swords unenhanced and avoid herbs and medicine. The two trophies check different restrictions. To save a run, keep a late save and try clearing with both restrictions; do not accept a switch to Easy after a loss.

  • Keep a separate save before spending souls or consuming jewels.

Find Fluorite and puzzle boxes along the way

Collect files, maps and Fluorite as you cross each area; progression can close routes. Check both number puzzles and decoder boxes, which are separate sets. The Vision Staff helps spot hidden Fluorite, but do not wait until the final area to start counting it.

  • Verify all twenty Fluorite before the credits of the run that will open Oni Spirits.

Use the saved branch for Dark Realm and Bishamon

After the restricted clear, return to the save you kept and prepare weapons, healing and magic for Dark Realm. Descend to floor twenty and take the ocarina. After Marcellus’s final form, use it at the door in the next room to reach the Bishamon Sword.

  • Check that the ocarina is in your inventory before leaving Dark Realm.

Finish all twelve Oni Spirits stages

After clearing with 20 Fluorite, open Oni Spirits from Extras. Find the jars to break in each room and learn which enemies actually block your way; clearing everything without a plan wastes the timer. Complete every stage to unlock Ultimate.

  • Check Ogre Savior before starting the speed run.

Balance time, souls and kills for S rank

Ultimate starts you with the Bishamon Sword so you can focus on result thresholds. Aim below three hours, at least 55,000 souls and 600 enemies; go past the thresholds where you have room. Do not skip every fight to save time, since S rank checks the other two counters.

  • Check time in the save slots and keep a copy before the final sequence.

Frequently asked questions

Is a sub-three-hour clear enough for S rank?

No. The final grade also checks absorbed souls and enemies defeated; a run that skips too many fights may only earn the time trophy.

Can I heal during the sword restriction run?

The sword trophy forbids sword enhancements and jewels. Herbs and medicine are forbidden by the separate None for Me, Thanks trophy. Track both if you want them together.

Is Dark Realm required?

Yes. It has its own clear trophies and holds the ocarina needed to obtain the Bishamon Sword in the story.
