Kena: Bridge of Spirits arrived on PlayStation 5 this week, and it's a charming adventure that's well worth playing. If you're a Trophy hunter, the game's list is a pleasant one, and not too challenging to complete — save for one that might take you some time. The Trophy 'Master Spirit Guide' requires you to beat the game on Master Spirit Guide difficulty, a setting that's only unlocked after completing the game on a lower setting first. However, an exploit will allow you to get this Trophy without going through the game a second time.
Indeed, some sort of bug or oversight has resulted in a method to secure the Master Spirit Guide Trophy in a matter of minutes, saving you the trouble of playing through the indie title on its highest difficulty level. After beating the game once, you can use manual saves to effectively skip a second playthrough altogether, and still walk away with the gold Trophy. If you're curious how to do it, we've outlined the steps in our Kena: Bridge of Spirits Trophy guide. We've tested it: the exploit works (on PS5 and PS4), and it's super easy to do.
Of course, the game is good enough that you might want to achieve this Trophy the regular way, and that's totally fine. However, if you just want the Trophy and aren't too worried about going through Kena's adventure again, this exploit will save you a ton of time.
As with anything of this nature, the method will almost certainly be patched out in the near future. We've no doubt that Ember Lab is aware of the exploit, and is working on fixing the bug right now. If you do want to do this, then you probably don't have very long, so hop to it if you're tempted.
Will you be grabbing the Master Spirit Guide Trophy using this exploit, or are you up to the challenge of playing the game on its hardest setting?

I’m loving this game, honestly. In a year of strong 3D platformers, Psychonauts 2 is the creative one, Ratchet and Clank is the glossy one, but Kena is the one that I’m having the most actual fun with so far. I’m about halfway through, and, sure the story hasn't been amazing, but I’m really enjoying the game regardless.
If you have to be cheating for trophies then I don't think you should be caring for them in the first place. Pointless.
You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
You didn't grow.
You didn't improve.
You took a shortcut and gained nothing.
You experienced a hollow victory.
Nothing was risked and nothing was gained.
It's sad that you don't know the difference.
@FixMadden22 Reported for leaking my personal information.
I never understood why people cared about trophies.
@FixMadden22 I'm a driving instructor and I'm gonna borrow that for a motivational kick up the ass ( minus the first sentence ofc ) 🤣🤣
With all due respect guys. You shouldn't be posting this article promoting the glitch.
@Cheems there's always one...
@FixMadden22 Seeing as how Trophies do absolutely nothing for you anyways, there is nothing really gained by cheating either.
Full Disclosure: I find Tophies/Achievements pointless, all together.
Though, at least on Xbox, gaining an Achievement (any Achievement at all) can lead to getting Microsoft Reward points which can then lead to getting digital gift cards towards the Microsoft Store. So at least there is potential for SOME benefit over on Team Green.
Yeah, I heard about this but I think I'm gonna try to do it the "old fashioned way"
I looked at the trophy list and some of the combat related ones are kinda tough even on normal.
This game is solid.
Not a chance am i glitching this little beauty. It's kicking my arse on normal, but the air punching feeling i get for winning is why i game in the first place! Im not robbing myself of such delights.
I don't think that's fair to say that this shouldn't be mentioned. If it's a timesaver and people want to grab the Plat so be it; after all, it's just a case of playing through the game a second time (not New Game +), and if people don't feel like they want to do that but still want the 100%, then by all means go ahead.
I didn't like the fact I had to play Miles Morales all over again for ONE trophy. If anything more fingers should be pointed at the people putting these annoying trophies in to inflate game time.
Hopefully it's not patched by the time I reach the end. The game is hard enough on normal, don't really want to try master lol
Yes, I used the exploit as I hadn’t actually read anything online and happened to try and succeed in getting it myself. So it’s still kinda cheating but seeing as I figured it out myself allows for some leniency in my books. Nonetheless I really loved my time with the game and would recommend it heartily. If I had any issues it was that it felt like a game that could have maybe benefitted from being a tad longer. But having ultimately abandoned the AC Valhalla DLC due to utter fatigue and a growing boredom with the cut and paste environment chock full of the same handful of tasks (A major criticism, I should add, that greatly affected my opinion of Ghost of Tsushima with its seemingly endless parade of foxes!) it was refreshing to play a game that didn’t drag on needlessly. As for the game itself I was most impressed with the combat which was really solid and far better than I’d imagined. Just finishing off the collectibles now for the Platinum though I thought some of the combat trophies were a bit tricky to get and are potentially missable as no new enemies spawn post game …
@SAMTYLER1974 Glad someone else got tired of Ghost of Tshusima's endless repeated quests. It's a really, really good game, but it is padded unnecessarily. It was long enough already!
And don't even get me started on the recent Assassins Creed's.
By contrast I love how much Kena respects my time and patience. 12-15 hours is fine for me at this price. 15-20 to find everything.
That's a decent length. It's not like the Order 1886 which was 6-8 hours but at full price... though I did like that game... while it lasted.
"We've tested it: the exploit works (on PS5 and PS4), and it's super easy to do."
See, that wasn't so hard now, was it? 😉
Anyway, thanks for including the PS4, appreciated.👍
@GamingFan4Lyf Last I checked, PlayStation also offers a similar program with Trophies.
@KidBoruto That's neat. I had no idea.
@GamingFan4Lyf You can find out more here: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/sony-rewards/
Easy as clicking on join now and agreeing to the terms.
You only get points on trophies earned after linking your account though.
@KidBoruto Thanks for the information. Glad to know this is a thing on Team Blue as well.
I guess that’s cool if your goal is simply quantity. I want my platinum trophies to mean something. It’s a way to honour a game that I really clicked with. Maybe I’m doing it wrong, I dunno. To each their own.
I've heard the game wasn't overly long, so I'd probably just play it again since it looks gorgeous. Of course, I won't know how difficult it is or if I'll feel that way in November when the physical release arrives.
On a side note, I've grown tired of lazy trophies like beat the game on ___ difficulty level. More so when you can't even start out on the most difficult level to begin with.
Eh, I stopped caring about bragging rights of beating games on the most difficult settings back in the 360 days before Playstation even had trophies.
That being said, I'm also tired of the typical...grab all collectibles, do all side missions, etc., etc.
I only go out of my way to platinum a game if I absolutely love it and want to explore and collect everything. But games like Assassin's Creed and similar titles with their collectibles trophies are a chore.
I want creative trophies. To this day, some of the most fun I ever had earning achievements/trophies was in the original Crackdown for the 360.
Getting air time for long periods, multi directional flips in a vehicle, etc, where tons of fun.
I wish developers would focus on making earning trophies and achievements fun to earn and less of a chore. For example, I love Arkane Studios, and I've played Dishonored multiple times, but in Prey, it would take a minimum of 4 plathroughs to unlock the platinum. Each playthrough forcing a specific playstyle in your run to do so.
No thanks.
Seems like something that might be patched so if you want it you probably shouldn't sleep on it.
@Kang81 yesss Crackdown had awesome achievements. Like Pin 5 enemies to the same vehicle with the spear gun. <3
@K1LLEGAL
Ooh, I had forgotten about that one. I adored the original Crackdown.
@KidBoruto That program is only available in the US (it'll let you sign in with any PSN account, but the terms and conditions and the shipping stuff say it's only for the US)
@Cheems I never understood why people don’t care for trophies. It is quite odd to be frank.
@theheadofabroom I'm from the USA (California), so didn't know that was a USA exclusive.
Thanks for letting me know.
@KidBoruto It's really not obvious, which is why I pointed it out here for others. My spidey sense tingled when everything was in dollars so found it buried in the terms and conditions.
