Four Legends trophies that do not count towards the platinum, and the map work that does

For the Living is the game's longest map job and one of only two silvers outside the sensei tales. The four Legends trophies, by contrast, can be left alone without touching the platinum.

And it counts towards Gifts for a Ghost, Memento, Wolves of Ezo, For the Living, Tale of Revenge, Student No More, Vengeance Fulfilled, Ghosts Unyielding, required for the platinum.

The EveryTrophy team3 min readPublished on 01/09/2026Updated on 01/09/2026Covers 9 of the 62 trophies

Ezo's five: one costs a minute, another costs the whole map

Memento. Customise a scene in Photo Mode. Open Photo Mode with Right on the d-pad and press Down to add a customisation: the trophy pops right there, with no need to take the photo. A minute's work, and plenty leave it pending on the assumption that something must be photographed.

Gifts for a Ghost. Collect 8 offerings left for the onryo.

The main inn of each region has an altar where people leave offerings as you advance through the story. They appear on their own: you only have to remember to pick them up, or swing by at the end when they are all there.

Inheritance. Claim your parents' talismans at the summit of Mount Yōtei. You have to complete the climb to the Mount Yōtei Shrine.

Wolves of Ezo. Clear every wolf den. It pays to do two early, because they unlock the she-wolf abilities that Wolf Bait needs: saving them for the end forces you to farm that trophy afterwards, in an already empty game.

For the Living. Rid Ezo of every camp belonging to the Yōtei Six.

It is the game's longest map job and one of only two silver trophies outside the sensei tales. That rank is the signal: the game is weighing it as a full campaign task, not as a collectible.

It is done alongside the story — the camps sit in the regions you pass through anyway — and doing it that way saves dozens of trips at the end.

Key

Do two wolf dens early: they unlock the she-wolf abilities Wolf Bait needs. Leaving them for the end forces you to farm that trophy with the game already finished.

Legends: four trophies the platinum does not ask for

The co-op mode's four trophies do not count towards the platinum. That is the fact that decides whether this block interests you at all, and it is worth being clear on before you start playing online:

Tale of Vengeance. Complete every mission in the Legends story.

No Longer an Apprentice. Reach rank 25 with a class.

Vengeance Complete. Complete the 4 raids.

Unyielding Ghosts. Complete a Survival mission on Gold difficulty or higher.

These four are what separate the platinum from 100%. None is hard on its own, but No Longer an Apprentice and Vengeance Complete ask for time and teammates: rank 25 is a long grind and the raids are built for a coordinated group.

The order that saves time is to do the Legends story first — it teaches the classes and raises rank along the way — leave Survival on Gold until you have decent gear, and keep the raids for last.

If you are only after the platinum, you can finish the game without touching Legends even once.

Fact

The four Legends trophies do not count towards the platinum: they are what separates the platinum from 100%.

Other Ghost of Yōtei guides

Altars of Reflection: the skills that lock three Ghost of Yōtei trophies
Three combat trophies are impossible until you unlock specific skills at the altars. Here is the list and the order.
The three collectibles that stall the Ghost of Yōtei platinum
Sumi-e, puzzle boxes and special places. All three sit around 44%, barely above the platinum: they are the last ones to fall.
New Game+ and Legends: the 8 Ghost of Yōtei trophies that do not count
Eight of the 62 trophies are DLC and fall outside the platinum. Among them, the two rarest in the game.
The 12 Nine Tails' puzzle boxes: where they are and how to open them
All twelve are in Teshio Ridge. Here are the twelve locations, the four fox-statue puzzles that open the hidden camps, and the move-by-move solution to every box.
The 5 mountain reliquaries: riddle, solution and the exact spins
One per region. Spinning one fox spins another, and the Teshio Ridge one cannot even be started without fire arrows. Here is each riddle with its solution and the shortest spin sequence.
The 11 fox dens, and why the trophy does not pop when you finish them
Eleven dens, eleven charms, and a final step almost nobody sees coming: the mask does not come from the dens, but from a woman at Sanctuary Grove behind a statue puzzle.
The 8 shamisen songs: the collectible to do first
Each song is a collectible detector. Getting them before anything else turns the game's three hundred-odd pieces into following an arrow. Here are all eight, including the one that comes down to chance.
The 8 zeni hajiki tables and why your counter falls short
Eight tables, eight charms. If your counter reads 6 of 8 and you swear you played them all, you are not missing a table: you are missing second wins.
Weapons are not bought, they are learned: the master tales are the catalogue
Take Aim and Quick Draw share almost the same percentage because they are the same content: every weapon comes from a master tale and there is no other route. Thirteen gear and combat trophies.
Two of the tales ask for two masters, not one: that is why they get lost
The Way of the Ōdachi starts on its own during another tale, and anyone who does not know a second master is missing ends up halfway. Ten sensei and side tales, plus the minigame almost nobody finds.
From 99.90% to 66.45%: the story takes a third of all players with it
The campaign's nine trophies are all progression except one, which is a choice you can get wrong. The order of the hunt, which side content to fold into each region, and where people drop off.
