Rise of the Ronin PS5 Trophy List Points Towards a Lot of Open World Work | Push Square

10.03.2024 - 10:49 / pushsquare.com

The Trophy list for soon-to-release PS5 exclusive Rise of the Ronin is now showing up on Sony's servers. There are 51 digital trinkets to collect, and after a brief analysis, we're pretty sure that unlocking the Platinum Trophy won't be a walk in the park.

For starters, the action RPG expects you to complete basically all of its open world objectives. There are a number of Trophies related to collectibles, and a bunch more that cover side quests. It's very much your typical open world Trophy list, and there's probably a lot of grinding involved.

However, there's only one Trophy that's impacted by difficulty settings, and it tasks you with clearing a 'Ronin Mission' on the 'Midnight' difficulty — which we assume is the equivalent of very hard. All the other Trophies can seemingly be unlocked even if you're playing on easy.

Naturally, the full list does contain story spoilers, so be careful if you're giving it a look.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

Am really interested in this and do love a platinum trophy. Will be waiting for reviews to see how the difficulty is though. My old man skills are usually no match for Team Ninja games. But only doing one mission on hard might be possible, even for me.

Hopefully there's a ng+ that could help with the difficulty trophy. Are there any missable trophies?

Bond transfer, technology research, fugitives… Looks like there's a lot in there. Waiting for reviews.

Sounds like a bit of a slog but if I’m really, really enjoying the game I might give it a shot. I somehow toiled my way to Ghostwire Tokyo’s platinum so it can be done!

Nice reference to Like a Dragon: Ishin! in there.

@Jimmer-jammer I wanted to do it but tapped out on the 100% spirits trophies

This doesn’t sound too terrible. Considering the type of game this is, most of these trophies should unlock through a natural playthrough. Depending on length, I may attempt to platinum this.

@BaronSqwelch I almost did too! Textbook definition of a slog. Still not entirely sure what possessed me to see it through.

Midnight Difficulty might be this games version of the Twilight Missions from Nioh, amped up versions of normal missions with bonus rewards… I'm still not sure what kinda loot/gear system this is going for.

If it's not as bloated as FF7 Rebirth I'm happy.

I have already cleared so many thieves camps, activated so
