Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a surprisingly tricky game, with challenges that could take players hours on the game’s most unforgiving difficulty: Spirit Master Mode. Thankfully, there’s a way for trophy hunters to skip the game’s most tedious task and unlock the trophy in just a few minutes.

To skip Spirit Master Difficulty and unlock the Master Spirit Guide trophy, players must adhere to the following steps:

  • Complete Kena: Bridge of Spirits on any difficulty. Make sure to save the game at the game’s final Meditation Point.Once the game is finished, start up a new playthrough on Spirit Master difficulty.Play the game until Kena obtains her first Rot companion.Select the Load Game option from the pause menu.Load the completed game’s save file, a good indicator that this exploit has worked is Kena’s health reverting back to base levels in the bottom left corner.Head to the game’s final Meditation point and trigger the final cutscene. (Feel free to skip this.)Once the credits roll, players should see the Master Spirit Guide trophy pop if they’ve followed the steps shown above.

This exploit is still effective as of Kena: Bridge of Spirits version 1.05. Users have reported that the exploit doesn’t work in version 1.06. We recommend turning off automatic updates for the game until this trophy is unlocked, as Ember Lab will undoubtedly patch this time saver out.
