How To Get the Platinum Trophy in Ghost of Tsushima

Ghost of Tsushima is a sprawling game with plenty of tales to explore and areas to liberate. It'll take some work, but unlocking the Platinum Trophy is a feat you can definitely handle. Here's how to snag it as well as each of the other trophies so you'll be adding another plat to your collection in no time.


Ghost of Tsushima features 52 total Trophies, with a Platinum Trophy that requires you collect all 51 other Trophies. It can be a bit of a challenge (as well as a time suck) to complete every single task to get that coveted Platinum Trophy, but it's perfectly doable with a bit of patience and determination. In fact, this one is a bit easier than other Platinums because many of the Trophies you need will unlock as you play the game.

We've put together a complete guide on how to get the Platinum Trophy as well as the rest of the Trophies in the game. Don't give up, persevere, and eventually you'll become the legend of Tsushima, with a Platinum to take home and show everyone on your friends' list.

Favor of the Kami (Bronze)

Find and honor all of the Shinto Shrines on Tsushima. Be sure to seek out and find all of the Shinto Shrines, but you'll have to look for them on your map since they won't automatically all pop up.

Honour the Unseen (Bronze)

Bow to 10 hidden altars across Tsushima. You'll have to do quite a bit of searching to find these altars, as they're pretty difficult to find, but it's worth finding them to secure that Platinum.

Lost and Found (Bronze)

Bow to 10 hidden altars across Tsushima. You only need to find one, which is a pretty simple undertaking, but seeking out more means you'll find some fun cosmetics.
