Once you have unlocked some Ninjitsu skills, simply go to a shrine, select the option ready jutsu select Ninjitsu and assign you points to your unlocked techniques/weapons. You then need to equip them in your shortcuts to be able to use them in battle.
With all that done, keep using your Ninjitsu techniques / weapons until you hit 200,000 proficiency and have completed the mission, The Ruin Draws Near in the Twilight region, at which point you can do a special mission in the dojo called The One Who Lives In The Shadows.

Onmyo Magic Master
Acquired mystic art for Onmyo Magic.
You will need to have at least 250,000 proficiency in your Onmyo magic which will take a fair amount of time to collect.
A nice easy way to boost your Onmyo proficiency is have 3 or 4 different types of elemental attack magic, the kind that envelops your weapon, then go off and kill as many low level enemies as you can (the first couple of missions are perfect for this).
With that done, you need to have completed the mission, The Ruin Draws Near in the Twilight region, at which point you can do a special mission in the dojo called The Nine Symbols.
This will see you face off against a series of enemies with some half decent Onmyo magic to buff / debuff yourself, try and save as much Onmyo as you can for Onryoki, once he’s down the mission will complete, you will then receive 2 Onmyo mages locks.

Extends the duration of the effects of Onmyo Magic items.
Unlock either of these mystic arts which will unlock your Trophy.
Burst Breaker
Used the Brute, Feral, and Phantom Burst Counters five times each to counter a Burst Attack.
In order to perform a burst counter, you need to have a guardian spirit equipped, there are 3 different types of guardian spirits in Nioh 2 and they’re broken down into categories:
- Brute.
- Feral.
- Phantom.
Keep playing through the game to unlock at least one of these category of guardian spirit.
Go up against any yokai such as an Enki, when they flash red and perform a special attack, you need to press 
+
at the same time, at the very last second before you get hit, if performed correctly, you will transform into the version of the guardian spirit you have equipped and perform a very strong attack.
You do need to have at least 10% charge in your yokai bar to perform a burst counter, simply do a burst counter 5 times with each of the 3 categories of guardian sprit to unlock your Trophy.
Latest Masterpiece
Forged an item.
You will be able to forge items very early on in the game. To do so, head to the blacksmith, at the starting point, select forge then simply forge any available item to unlock your Trophy.
Remodeling Novice
Remodeled a piece of equipment.
You need to have completed the main game and entered new game plus (Dream of the Strong) to unlock the remodelling option in the blacksmith.
Simply remodel any piece of equipment, which won’t change the items qualities, however it will allow you to change the items appearance.
If you have a particular favourite looking for example; Switchglaive, but you have a much more powerful version, change the appearance so you get the best of both worlds.
Once you have remodelled for the first time, your Trophy will unlock.
Tea Connoisseur
Appraised your tea utensils 50 times.
To acquire a tea utensil you need to defeat high level enemies such as bosses / yokai, there is a much fast way of doing this however.
If you go to the Dawn region, there is a mission here called The Refined Man of the Underworld, this will see you face off against 4 enemies, 1 Gaki, an Enki, then Gozuki followed by Mezuki.
This mission is one of the best in the game for time>amrita, there is also a guaranteed drop of a tea utensil from Mezuki, simply play this mission until you have 50 tea utensils (you’ll earn buckets of amrita along the way as well which is always helpful).
Keep farming The Refined Man of the Underworld and appraising the tea utensils at the teahouse, I did this in blocks of 5, if you are a couple over, the worse you’ll have is some extra amrita and loot from the mission.
After the 50th tea utensil has been appraised, your Trophy will unlock.
Lover of Letters
Displayed a calligraphy scroll in your hut.
A nice easy one to get done and out of the way, as you make your way through the game, you will come across red graves, these are enemies, which, when defeated, give you a special in-game currency called glory.
You can spend your glory at the teahouse (starting point, hidden teahouse). To unlock a calligraphy scroll, you need to go to trade, then the far right tab will be hanging scroll text, simply purchase any one of these scrolls for 1000 glory.
After which you then need to go to your hut (starting point, hut) select the option Remodel Remodel Hut, Hanging Scrolls then calligraphy, select the scroll you have just purchased which will then unlock your Lover Of Letters Trophy.
Trinket Triumph
Used the Kodama Bazaar.
A very simple trophy in Nioh 2.
Simply go to any shrine, select make offering, select any equipment you no longer need and gift it, this will give you a wealth of items and amrita, but to unlock and use the Kodama Bazaar, you are looking for divine rice, a very common item you’ll receive for making an offer.
Once you have received divine rice, simply go into the Kodama Bazaar and purchase any item, which will unlock your Trophy.
Teamwork
Completed 10 missions with NPCs or as Expeditions with other users. (Does not include Acolytes.)
As you make your way through the game, there are several missions that will give you an NPC to fight alongside, such as in the mission in the Soaring region, The Mysterious One Night Castle, when you get to the second shrine, you can fight talk to and then fight alongside Hachisuka Koroku.
There are plenty of opportunities to get this trophy as you make your way through the game, and to make things easier, you can repeat the same mission, using the same NPC to unlock this trophy.
Whichever way you decide to this, once you have completed your 10th mission with an NPC accompanying you, your Trophy will unlock.
Help Wanted
Summoned an Acolyte from a Benevolent Grave 10 times.
You will need an online connection for this trophy, as you make your way through the game you will see red graves which are enemies.
You will need to take down several of these enemies to receive a special item, the Ochoku Cup, which you will need to summon friendlies from the blue graves (benevolent) that are also found throughout the game.
Depending on how much higher the level of the friendly NPC is than yourself, the more Ochoku Cups you will need to make the summon successful, do this 10 times to unlock your Trophy.
Twilight Walker
Completed your first Twilight mission.
Twilight missions are special versions of the regular missions that are a lot more challenging, but also hold much more powerful loot than regular missions.
The Twilight missions unlock once you reach the Shadow region and change every day, so to start off with you might not be able to start a Twilight mission, however, by the time you have completed the main game, all of the Twilight missions will be unlocked.
You only have access to a maximum of 2 Twilight missions per day, these can be accessed from the 2 red circles over to the left of any given map screen, and can be completed as many times as you like, reaping the rewards each and every time.
See Samurai of Legend for how to access and complete every Twilight Mission in Nioh 2.

A Sudama is the purple Kodama you can find as you make your way through Nioh 2.
The first opportunity you will get to find a Sudama is in the mission called The Search which unlocks after you complete the first mission in the game, The Village of Cursed Blossoms in the Awakening region.
Once you find a Sudama, hold to greet the Sudama, then open your inventory, select any item and drop the item in front of the Sudama, it will then collect the item and drop you an item you can collect.
Once you have successfully exchanged gifts with a Sudama for the first time, your Trophy will unlock.
Soul Searcher
Obtained all Soul Cores.
Click the link to go to the complete Soul Searcher Trophy Guide.
Fuse It or Lose It
Fused any Soul Core until it reached rank 9.
As you play through the game you will naturally pick up soul cores from the various yokai, in order to fuse a soul core to level 9 you need 5 of the same type of soul core.
So for example if you have 4 Gozuki soul cores and 1 Mezuki soul core, you can only fuse the 4 Gozuki soul cores together. Ensure you have 5 of the same type of soul core to get to rank 9.
In order to fuse a soul core, you need to be at a shrine, select soul fusion from the manage soul cores section, then simply select 1 of the 5 and fuse it, you will see the rank of the soul core increase.
Repeat these steps, ensuring the rank souls core is in the top slot so you can get the maximum soul core level faster.
Once the soul core is rank 9, your Trophy will unlock.
Seasoned Traveler
Discovered 10 hidden items on the map.
A nice, easy trophy to unlock, once you’re on the map screen (not in a mission) hover your cursor around the map, every so often, the cursor turns red, when this happens, press 
, to unlock a hidden location.
You aren’t able to do anything at these locations, there’s no mission or reward, however, they do give you some background lore / information.
Simply find 10 of these hidden locations across any of the 7 main game regions to unlock your Trophy.

Click the link to go to the complete Let There Be Light Trophy Guide.
Grazer Eraser
Defeated Mezuki and Gozuki in the same mission.
Grazer Eraser
Defeated Mezuki and Gozuki in the same mission.
There are several opportunities to get this done as you make your way through Nioh 2.
The first level will be your best bet if you’re looking at getting this done sooner rather than later.
You’ll see Gozuki roaming around in the first clearing you come to, use fire, lightning and Burst Counters to make short work of Gozuki, if this bovine beast is to strong, go and level up a few times and come back to the fight.
Mezuki is the first levels’ boss, so you’ll have to take it down eventually if you want to proceed through the game, simply deal with the pair of them in the same level to unlock this Trophy.
Dungball Roller
Became Ryunojo the Dung Lover’s best friend and received the Coiled Snake Helmet smithing text.
First up, you need to collect 30 dungballs, you can find these throughout the game, but they drop primarily from Tesso (farting rats) you can also find several dungballs in the mission, Bird in a Cage on the corpses around the level, it’s also in this mission you will find Ryunojo.
To become his best friend, you need to collect 30 dungballs and then hand them over, to avoid any potential issues with this trophy, ensure you hand over all 30 in one go.
Noble dungballs, count as 2 dungballs, but they are also a much rarer item.
To find Ryunojo, continue through the mission until you get to the second shrine, then proceed through and take a left into a cave system go to the end of the cave and make your way up the ladder, Ryunojo, is on the ledge you’ll come to.
Give him 30 dungballs to unlock your Trophy.

Click the link to go to the complete Hidden Hopes Trophy Guide.
Clean Sweep
Destroyed every Amrita shard in “The High-spirited Demon”.
Click the link to go to the complete Clean Sweep Trophy Guide.
Devout Believer
Defeated the boss of “The Viper’s Sanctum” without breaking the statue of Shirohami.
Definitely one to leave until much later in the game, the Shirohami statues are at the lowest part of this mission, just before you go into fight Yatsu-No-Kami.
The Shirohami statues look like snake statues with a green aura around them, every time you destroy one, it will lower the poison water in the level, thus making the boss fight a lot easier.
For this trophy, you need to not hit any of the 3 Shirohami statues, fighting Yatsu-No-Kami with the maximum amount of poison in the arena.
Come back much later in the game to have an easier time of this. As soon as Yatsu-No-Kami has been defeated without you having hit a Shirohami statue, your Trophy will then unlock.
Seven Wonders
Defeated each of the Seven Spears in “Cherry Blossom Viewing in Daigo”.
A slightly problematic trophy in Nioh 2, as you make your way through the Cherry Blossom Viewing in Daigo mission, you will be changing the way the level can be navigated.
To avoid any issues in fighting the Seven Spears, which are essentially much stronger versions of regular enemies with fancy armour and all of them use spears as weapons, take them out as you progress through the mission.
One of the biggest problems you’ll have in taking them down is they usually always have ranged soldiers near them covering their patrol routes.
I found it a lot easier to run past any of the Seven Spears, take down there entourage and then deal with them.
The first area has 2 of the Seven Spears straight off, so take them out and you should be fine to take out the other 5 as you make your way through the mission, be sure to check all of the buildings, especially around the Mezuki fight to ensure success.
Please Note: After you have taken down the last of the Seven Spears, you need to complete the mission before your trophy will unlock, so pay close attention to how many you have defeated so as not to miss any.
As soon as all Seven Spears are down and you have defeated Kashin Koji, your Trophy will unlock.
Feather Buster
Drove back every Tatarimokke along the journey in “A Way Out”.
A Tatarimokke, are the glowing dimensional searchlights. There’s 2 of these located throughout the mission A Way Out.
Make sure you take each Tatarimokke out as quick as you can, as soon as the spotlight finds you, every yokai in the area will come for you.
The first one is located a few minutes into the main level, look for the large yellow circle patrolling the ground, follow this circle’s light to find the Tatarimokke.
The second one is located at the bottom of the hill you’ll run down on the far left of the level just before you go down into the village.
Simply hit them a couple of time to break them where your Trophy will unlock.
Bold Wrangler
Defeated Gozuki in “The Village of Cursed Blossoms”.
The Village Of Cursed Blossoms is the first main story mission in Nioh 2.
Gozuki will be the 2nd enemy you’ll come across, whilst it is possible to defeat this gigantic bovine brute at this point, I strongly recommend you leave this until later in the game as this fight can be tough at first.
The biggest threat here is the tracking on Gozuki’s weapon, it just seems to land wherever you are, so make sure you stay back or burst counter to disrupt Gozuki’s attacks.
It is weak to fire + lightning so make good use of these 2 elements.
As as soon as Gozuki is down your Trophy will unlock.
Schemer
Got Gyuki to attack the dam in “Pervading Waters”.
Gyuki is the second boss you’ll face in this level, as soon as the fight starts you’ll be in front of the Dam.
Stand still for a few seconds directly in front of Gyuki, he will do a charged dash attack that will go through you and hit the Dam in the process.
If you’re unsuccessful, stand there again until he does another dash attacks destroying the Dam and unlocking your Trophy in the process.
