Resonance Trophy and Achievement Guide

Roadmap at a glance
The safest route follows all 14 linear chapters with a collectible guide during the first playthrough. PowerPyx estimates about 20 hours and 3/10 difficulty, IGN gives 15–20 hours, and the broader completionist estimate reaches 22–25 hours. Those different methods support a planning range rather than one guaranteed finish time.
- Estimated difficulty: 3/10 in the PowerPyx roadmap.
- Approximate time: about 20 hours in PowerPyx; 15–20 hours in IGN; up to 22–25 hours in the completionist estimate.
- Minimum playthroughs: one, if the Resonance Point condition is completed.
- Difficulty trophies: none; Narrative difficulty and Invincible Mode are allowed.
- Chapter Select: available; there is no post-story free roam.
The one missable requirement
The critical condition is “Like a warrior.” Collect at least 165 of 200 Resonance Points in the same playthrough and spend them on all six mastery branches. The points do not carry into Chapter Select, save only when the next checkpoint is reached, and can be lost after a death before that checkpoint records them.
For “Like a warrior,” collect at least 165 of the 200 Resonance Points during a single playthrough and spend them to unlock all six mastery branches. Those points do not carry into Chapter Select, are saved only at checkpoints, and can be lost after death if the next checkpoint was not reached. PowerPyx advises restarting a chapter promptly if you miss a large group.
Collectible route
The other collectible categories are more forgiving: eight base-game Blades, 37 Artefacts, and 30 Charms including five Theseus Echoes. The preorder content adds a ninth Blade but does not replace the base requirement. These other collectible totals continue to count when revisiting chapters after the story.
- 8 base-game Blades; the preorder DLC adds a ninth Blade but is not required for the base collectible total.
- 37 Artefacts / Relics of the Past and Present.
- 30 Charms, including 5 Theseus Echoes.
- 165 of 200 Resonance Points for all mastery branches.
Cleanup after the story
Use Chapter Select and checkpoint restart to finish remaining combat actions. There is no post-story free roam, but there are no difficulty trophies. Narrative difficulty and Invincible Mode are permitted by the supplied roadmap, and one playthrough is enough when the 165-point mastery condition is secured.
Use Chapter Select for remaining Artefacts, Blades, Charms, and combat tasks. Combat trophies can be farmed with checkpoint restart. The roadmap identifies “Untouchable,” six consecutive parries, as the hardest individual trophy, but it can still be earned on the easiest difficulty.
Story progression
The route contains 14 linear chapters. The chapter-completion trophies are unmissable, while the final platinum “The Sea Scorpion” unlocks on PS5 after every other trophy.
Evidence limits
The supplied guides disagree on total completion time and on whether to describe the list as 36 achievements or 37 trophies; the difference is the PS5 platinum. The route above preserves both platform-specific counts.
