- Plan at least one additional playthrough on “MASTER NINJA.” Ideally, start it with max health and all learned skills from a previous run.
- Disable Auto Movement: For four Bronze trophies (“The Grind Never Stops,” “Free as a Bird,” “Surf Ninja,” “Laser’s Edge”), Auto Movement must be turned off.
- Watch your combo count: For “Combo Master,” achieve a 2000-point combo in one sequence.
- The trophy “The One Who Obliterates” requires defeating every enemy in the game – don’t skip any fights.
- Each of the five weapon types has its own skill set. Master them all to unlock the respective “Master of” trophies.
- For “Shadow Incarnate,” complete any chapter (except 00 and 14) without dying.
