Shadows' trophy list is mostly generous — the story acts, meeting each ally, and a long tail of one-off stunts. What decides the platinum is a small group tied directly to the collectibles, so the routing advice on the completion page is also the trophy advice.
The count depends on the source, and one source disagrees with itself
The collectible trophies
The one gold
Epilogue
The only gold in the list is finishing the epilogue. There is no difficulty trophy and no restriction run, which makes this a far gentler platinum than most.
The silvers carry the weight
Death Blossom (all Shinbakufu), Limitless and In Case of Trouble (full upgrades), Unseen, Unstoppable, and the two collectible sweeps.
Nothing is missable at a difficulty
Unlike Requiem, there is no 'complete on hardest' trophy here, so you can play at whatever setting you enjoy.
Route once, per province
Zen Master, A Rare Occurrence, Pathfinder and Would You Kindly? all reward clearing a region completely rather than returning to it.
The odd ones
- Made You Look! — treasure behind the waterfall in your own hideout, which almost nobody finds by accident.
- Leap of Fail — a leap of faith as Yasuke, who is emphatically not built for it. That is the joke.
- Overdesign III — a finisher on an enemy that is both Poisoned and Dazed at once, so it needs setting up.
- Final Hearing — sheathing your weapon in the exact window after an enemy dies from Bleed.
- Adventurer — shooting an enemy in the knee, which is a reference and a trophy at the same time.
- Reeding is Fundamental — escaping with a breathing reed, easy to finish the game without ever doing.
