Nioh 3: Trophy Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide
Achieving the Platinum in Nioh 3 is proof of your mastery over the Warring States, Heian, and Bakumatsu eras. The journey to 100% completion requires more than just high-level combat; it demands a deep commitment to the game's intricate exploration systems. From tracking down every elusive spirit to purifying the land's most corrupted zones, the trophy list serves as a roadmap for every major milestone in your protagonist's evolution.
Whether you are hunting for the prestigious "A God Among Men" title or the location-based "Spa Lover" trophy, our guide breaks down the requirements for every trophy to help you claim your place as a legend of the Eternal Rift.
A significant portion of the trophy list is tied directly to the Exploration Level system. To unlock these, you must systematically clear each province:
- Total Control: Awarded for capturing all 26 Enemy Base locations. This requires not only combat prowess but also the discovery of hidden strongholds tucked away in the open world.
- Spa Lover: This classic return requires you to bathe in every single Hot Spring. Many are hidden behind Nurikabe walls or at the end of complex Spirit Vein paths, making them some of the most missed collectibles.
- Devotee: To claim this, you must pray at every Shrine and purified Bodhisattva Statue across the three eras. This effectively maps out your fast-travel network for the entire game.
- Visiting the Six Jizo: A high-level achievement earned by finding and praying at all Six Jizo sites. Remember to find the missing stone heads for the "broken" statues to verify each site's completion.
To prevent hours of aimless searching, the Map Master team has integrated every trophy-related location into our Interactive Nioh 3 Maps alongside instructions on how to unlock them.
