Trophy Guide
Trophy Guide and Road Map for Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal on PlayStation 4
You can really do the following steps in any order. In my playthrough, I started with dressing room trophies in Stage 5 and then completed Stage 1 and half of Stages 3 & 4 before completing Stage 2 and then finishing up.
However, for the sake of this guide, I’m putting them in the most sensical order; feel free to mix and match if you get bored with a particular stage, also note that you’ll likely pop many of the Misc trophies from Stage 5 during natural gameplay, so review your remaining misc trophies once you reach that stage.
Stage 1 – Hanzo National Academy
The Hanzo National Academy are posed as the protagonists of the story, so it makes sense to start there. I also feel like the Hebijo arc has the better storyline and ending from what little story I paid attention to.
Story Trophies
There are 5 chapters in both story arcs with 8 missions in each. To begin, simply play through these 40 missions, keeping your eye out for collectables along the way to make stage 4 a little easier (or just refer to the collectable guide while you play).
Completing them will net you the following trophies:
For Justice’s Sake
Cleared the Prologue of Hanzo National Academy Arc.
Everyday Youth
Cleared Chapter 1 of Hanzo National Academy Arc.
Encounter
Cleared Chapter 2 of Hanzo National Academy Arc.
Good and Evil
Cleared Chapter 3 of Hanzo National Academy Arc.
New Power
Cleared Chapter 4 of Hanzo National Academy Arc.
Skirting Shadows
Cleared Chapter 5 of Hanzo National Academy Arc.
At this point, you may have noticed that you only have to complete 7 missions in the 5th chapter for the credits to roll. Well, there’s still an 8th mission, you just need to go back into the missions list to see a new mission waiting for you there. Completing it will get you this trophy:
Crushed the Demon of Fists
Overcame your Senior's trial.
Note that this final mission can be pretty damn difficult as you will need to defeat the enemy 5 times, back-to-back, with each of the five Hanzo Academy characters.
In my playthrough, I focused on levelling up Asuka and using the “strange medicine” on her, to increase her to level 50. Because of this, all of my other Hanzo characters were between level 8 and 13. To ensure you have an easier time with this mission, try levelling up some other characters however you see fit. Try to be at least level 20 with all 5 to have a much easier time.
Note that during this stage, if you’re trying to gather all collectables, some of them require defeating very powerful hidden Shadow enemies. I don’t recommend trying to take these on with a character lower than level 20. You can probably manage it at level 10 and above in Frantic mode, with a bit of a struggle.
During this and the next 2 stages, keep track of how many A-ranks you’re getting too, as you’re going to want to try and get this trophy as you go:
Valedictorian
Obtained 10 A ranks in the mission results.
But in my experience you will just get it naturally without any added effort.
Stage 2 – Hebijo Clandestine Girls’ Academy
More Story Trophies
This stage is exactly the same as the last. Complete the missions and then the additional boss level.
To the Will of Evil
Cleared the Prologue of Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy Arc.
Daily Training
Cleared Chapter 1 of Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy Arc.
A Chance Meeting
Cleared Chapter 2 of Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy Arc.
Yin and Yang
Cleared Chapter 3 of Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy Arc.
The Power of Our Bond
Cleared Chapter 4 of Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy Arc.
Crimson Girls
Cleared Chapter 5 of Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy Arc.
Crushed the Demon Master
Overcame your Master's trial.
My notes for Crushed the Demon of Fists also apply to Crushed the Demon Master, both are similar fights which require you to use all 5 of the respective school’s fighters back-to-back against a boss.
Stage 3 – Free Missions
How to Earn the Free Missions Accomplished Trophy
Underneath Chapter 5 in the missions menu for either school there is a “Free Missions” option. These unlock as you play and can be completed by any of the available characters, so great for reaching level 50 or increasing a Yin or Yang level.
Simply work through all of them with the character of your choice for the following trophy:
Free Missions Accomplished
Cleared all Free Missions.
Stage 4 – Collectables
Scroll Trophies
The collectables you need to find are scrolls hidden throughout each level. Successfully finding them will net you the following trophies:
Tireless Exploration
Obtained a total of 30 secret documents.
The One Who Knows the Truth
Obtained all secret documents.
Shadow Enemy Trophies
Note that some of the scrolls are found by defeating shadow enemies hidden throughout some of the levels (more details in the collectable guide below), each of the shadow enemies has their own trophy. Due to this, you won’t get The One Who Knows the Truth without also getting these trophies:
You’ve Got No Strings
Defeated a Puppet.
Class Dismissed
Defeated a Lesser Shinobi.
Fair Fight
Defeated an Acolyte Shinobi.
Uphill Battle
Defeated a Greater Shinobi.

No Monkey Business
Defeated a Monkey Shinobi.
Run, Rabbit, Run
Defeated a Rabbit Shinobi.

Stage 5 – Miscellaneous
Misc Gameplay Trophies
Most of these next few trophies will most likely pop through normal gameplay as you complete the game’s various campaigns, but in-case they don’t, there are some tips below:
Valedictorian
Obtained 10 A ranks in the mission results.
I’ll be very surprised if you don’t have this one quite early on, but in trophy hunting anything can happen. Try to pick levels with a lot of standard enemies and no boss fights against main characters, then use your strongest character to get through the stage as fast as you can, you’re almost guaranteed a high rating this way.
Unparallelled Grace
Cleared a mission without taking a single hit.
I really thought this one would be difficult, so when I first got it, it was because I was trying very hard. I was singling enemies out to fight them 1-on-1, blocking every attack I could with 
and dodging constantly with . However, I achieved this feat many, many times as I played through the game.
On easy, the enemies attacks are so slow and openly telegraphed that it’s easy to just brute force them with a fast character like Asuka. No dodging, no blocking, just pure non-stop frantic-mode attacking.
Godlike Combo
Successfully performed a 300 hit combo.
This one also sounds more difficult than it is. The best characters for this, I’ve found, are either Asuka or Kagura. They’re both very fast and capable of dishing out multiple attacks very quickly, but also their shinobi arts attacks involve dealing a lot of blade hits in a short amount of time, which all count towards the combo.
You’ll probably get it naturally though.
Secret Ninja Art Enthusiast
Activated a total of 100 Secret Ninja Arts in real combat.
If you don’t get this naturally then, no offense, but I don’t think you’re playing the game right.
Secret Ninja Arts are special attacks you can use after using a shinobi transformation 
or in Frantic mode. When the yellow bar under your health gets full you will get a scroll, indicated below it. With 1 scroll you can press + 
for a Ninja Arts attack. With 2 scrolls you can press + 
to do a stronger Ninja Arts attack.
Parry Expert
Performed a total of 100 parries in real combat.
This one can be tricky depending on how you play. I played pretty much all-out offensively for the most part, and had to force myself to start blocking enemy attacks. Enemies telegraph their attacks in a fairly obvious way, but you also need to time your press just right so that you can trigger a parry instead of just blocking them.
I assumed you’d have to hit the moment they hit you, like in most games, but you can actually start holding a short while before their attack even hits you and it will still count. Play around with it and get a good feel for it.
If you’re still struggling, the training dummy enemies (or puppets as the game calls them) are really slow and very easy to block, so try a level with plenty of those.
Burst
Activated Burst Mode a total of 10 times in real combat.
Easy peasy. With your green burst bar full, press 
to enter burst mode. Just do it 10 times!
Bring it on!
Performed a total of 10 taunts in real combat.
Many missions require you to defeat a wave of enemies and then move to another area to fight the next wave. In that moment of time in-between fights, hit 
to taunt. Do this 10 times and the trophy will pop, even though there’s nobody around to feel taunted by you!
Wow, 1000!
Defeated a total of 1,000 enemies in real combat.
This will pop naturally. There’s no way you will get every other trophy and not get this one. Just keep playing.
Aerial Rave Enthusiast
Activated 5 consecutive Aerial Raves.
Some combos (usually something like , , ) will knock an enemy into the air. If you then press your character will launch themselves towards that enemy where they can do a full combo, knocking the enemy back again at which point you can press to close the gap again. Do this repeatedly until the trophy pops.
Some characters, however, will knock an enemy to the ground as part of their combo, which we don’t want. Once again, I’m going to recommend Asuka. She can do repeated aerial raves for quite a long time. I used this method to defeat many tough enemies as Asuka.
Everything on the Line
Activated Frantic Mode in real combat.
You will get this the first time you use Frantic mode by pressing + instead of 
to start a mission.
Peerless Ninja
Challenged a ★ mission.
Explosive Ninja
Challenged a ★★ mission.
Top Ninja
Challenged a ★★★ mission.
These are the most pointless difficulty-based trophies I have ever seen. All you need to do is load a mission up on 1-star, 2-star and 3-star difficulty. You don’t need to successfully finish the levels at all. You can change difficulty by pressing in the mission select menu.
Daily Drills
Performed Self-Training at the Training Grounds.
Literally just load up the Training Grounds option from the menu. Don’t do anything, just load it up to get the trophy and then you can leave.
Strange Medicine
Obtained a total of 300 secret growth remedies.
I expected this one to be a bit of a grind, but I managed to get it without really having to go after it extensively.
Strange Medicine can be found in containers throughout each level, so you’ll probably find quite a few while you look for collectables, but enemies will also drop them for you. You can also buy them from the store, which I did a lot.
If you don’t care about buying videos and images you’ve already seen from the shop, then you can save your money and spend it on strange medicine instead.
Dressing Room Trophies
Toasty!
Changed a character's skin tone in the Dressing Room.
This is one of the options in the dressing room. Go to the dressing room option in the menu and then open the option for changing a character’s outfit. Near the bottom is an option for changing the character’s skin tone.
Time to Change!
Changed a character's outfit in the Dressing Room.
Exactly what it says. In the dressing room, change a character’s clothing.
Free Form!
Changed the size of an accessory in the Dressing Room.
In the dressing room, amongst the clothing and skin tone options there are also several slots for adding accessories. Add an accessory and then press with the accessory highlighted to open a menu allowing you to position and scale an accessory. Change any of the “Adj. Scale” values to get this trophy to pop.
Hold That Pose
Made a character pose in Diorama Mode.
In the dressing room, instead of going to “Change” select “Diorama Mode”. To see various options for setting up a diorama with the characters, one of these options allows you to select a pose for the selected character. Do so and you’ll get this trophy!
Conclusion
Once you’ve done all of the above, you’ll obviously net this trophy:
Path of the Shinobi
Obtained all trophies.
Check out my review of this game for more of my personal experiences with it, and enjoy!
