How to Get the Platinum Trophy

The Peerless Platinum trophy requires you to unlock every other trophy in the game. You will need at least two playthroughs because Carnage difficulty becomes available only after completing the game once. Then you need to complete New Game+ on Carnage for True Onimusha.

You also need to complete every Boss Rematch on all difficulty levels for Glutton for Punishment. For the first playthrough, it is useful to complete the collectibles, side activities, and upgrades before starting the final mission, The Clash at Rendaino. After finishing the story, the Continue option lets you return to the point before the final mission for cleanup.

Are Any Trophies Missable?

The trophy list does not have permanently missable trophies. You can return to the game after finishing the story and continue your cleanup from before the final mission. However, some progress does not carry over to New Game+, including Mysteries of Kyoto and Chance Encounters. It is therefore useful to complete these before finishing your first playthrough.

How Many Playthroughs Are Needed?

You need at least two playthroughs for the Platinum. The first playthrough unlocks Carnage difficulty. You can use this run to complete the story, collectibles, side content, and upgrades. The second playthrough is New Game+ on Carnage difficulty. Completing the game on this difficulty unlocks True Onimusha. You then need to finish the Boss Rematch requirements.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword Trophy Tips

Complete collectibles during your first playthrough whenever possible. This includes Lion Dogs, Mysteries of Kyoto, Chance Encounters, Genma Notes, and Oni Armaments.
Work on combat trophies naturally while playing. Issen attacks, Reflex Combos, Chain Issen attacks, assassinations, and other combat actions can build up over time.
Upgrade your skills, equipment, Hozuki Pouches and Charms throughout the game instead of leaving everything until the end.
Before starting The Clash At Rendaino, check your trophy progress and complete any remaining collectibles or side activities.
For Carnage difficulty, use New Game+ to carry over useful upgrades and equipment from your first playthrough.

Summary

There are 52 trophies in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, including 1 Platinum, 2 Gold, 9 Silver, and 40 Bronze. The Platinum focuses on completing the game’s story, collectibles, upgrades, combat challenges, Carnage difficulty, and Boss Rematch content. If you are going for 100% completion, it is useful to follow the trophy list alongside your collectible and boss guides so you can track your progress as you play.
