To reiterate what someone else said, if the video method doesn't work, just play the game on Master until you've got the first rot, then load the manual save at the shrine and it should work!
I hate when Developers tie a second playthrough to a trophy and there is no New Game Plus. At least give me the option to pick the master difficulty the first time I play it
For anyone wondering, a good indicator that it worked is if your health and shield bars are back to base level when you load the mountain shrine save. I noticed that and figured it was a good sign, and I popped nice and easy.
Thank you so much for this video just tried it there for myself and it worked, wasnt looking forward to having to play the game again on the hardest difficulty especially with no new game+
The difficulty for this game spikes, but like many other hyperbole BS concerning difficulty, it is highly exaggerated. As someone who doesn't even bother with Souls/borne and other games like these, I achieved the platnium in 25 hours.
Still works on new version 1.05 just so everyone knows. If this doesn’t work try starting a new game on master and playing until you get the first rot then load the finished game and meditate. Should pop then
this is actually great.thank you very much Brian.I was crying when playing expert difficulty leave alone the master.I am certain it has to be flawless every move, dodge, parry.
if the trophy doesn't pop up play the master difficulty just ( 2 min ) you need to get the first rot after that load the game to manual save and you well got it
They really should have just had a NG+ or master unlocked from the start. Absolutely ridiculous you're forced to beat the game and restart a whole new one for master mode with no NG+, especially after seeing how other ps exclusives did NG+
The exploit has been patched since 2October version 1.08. It fustrates me that there is no new game plus since I finished the game on Hard, but now have to do everything again. Find all the rot etc just to be on same level I was when beating the game original. I don't mind playing a game on most hard difficulty, but I hate it when I have to finish the game to unlock it first.
Nice find, it still pisses me off, especially now when they’re trying to make games more inclusive that they put difficulty trophies into games. I’m definitely going to try this out as I wasn’t looking forward to playing Master difficulty with all upgrades and abilities reset.
I just got it to work on the base PlayStation 4 so it does work what you got to do is make sure right when you start a new game on Master difficulty when you tap that l1 hit the start button fast
And if it auto patched on you like mine did you're screwed. The Plat requirement for this game is way too hard. Literally the only thing I dont like about this game, poor choice by the dev on this.
Patched :( I literally was on the last boss. Rage quit for a bit. Game auto updates to 1.06. Beat the game and try this and it’s not working. Even tried to play till the first rot. RIP
I’m just gonna make a mental note to not update the game I’ve basically been doing everything in all areas and all I have left is the portion of the story with Toshi
doesnt seem to work for me currently (if I did it as you showed) Ill have to get my first rot and try that method. great game but I agree, I dont want to be forced into a 2nd playthrough
Can’t you just delete them game and redownload it without the patch? That’s always worked in the past for me, I’m not done beating the game sooo can’t test
@@sivagopalakrishnan439 really? I don’t think they can do that..I think if you download then turn off internet you might be ok 👌 I will come back once I beat it and try

@@Khazoo7 Yeah, mate... But the disc version will get released in the future. And when It will I am 100% sure it will already have the patch installed... :/
it doesn´t work for me neither, but i think i know what happens. i noticed that in your video your shrine isnt blue, and thats maybe because you didnt "sync" with it, cause mine is, and whn i load it spawns the save logo on the upper right corner, which is the thing that is keeping me from getting the trophy. i dont know
My version somehow 1.003 and just received 1.005 so i quickly cancel it and switch off all auto updates. Playing on ps5 on extreme, not finished yet, but i will keep updates off till end 😂
There is a new patch for the game to 1.05, I just turned on my ps5 and it started downloading so I canceled it. Don't know when it went live had to be within the last 5 hours. I wanna say it fixes this but I'm not sure.
NG+ will not help you. Just finished my platinum, without glitch. Damn boy, Sekiro was much easier. 2 hours on a final boss in Kena. This game is merciless
Can I meditate at the last shrine to complete the game and then go back and do this again. Because I'm at the end of the game and all I have to do is meditate to complete it.
Sadly I think this has been patched. I was already half way through my master playthrough when I found out this was a thing. I'd have gladly skipped this as I absolutely hate when developers spam normal enemies in a boss fight and this game does it on 90% of them. Just ruins the fight in my opinion
It has, I finished my normal playthrough 1 day after the 1.06 patch and was pissssssed :') currently just about to get the 3rd relic for Adira but im stuck facing 2 mages underground who spawn exploders, like how am I supposed to be 2 healing mages, spawning 6 exploders, 2 targeting balls all at once? I swear nobody playtested this nonsense.
@@CB-lw7ty yup, I got stuck there for abit. How I beat it is just stock up on courage and used the hammer everytime they tried to heal but it still took a while because of those dam exploders they spawned. I finally finished my playthrough last night thank god

@@ktxtenskz7441 ah, I don’t really care now. I did think about trying to platinum but I had to sometimes put on easy mode so that super hard mode, is t even getting attempted. I’d probably have a mental breakdown, if I tried my luck. 😁
I've never used an exploit but I've been stuck on the path to help Taro for two days..... I've got a couple trophies left to get so I think I'll replay one more time before thinking about using the exploit. A quarter second reaction time to Parry on Mastery level?
So not only is this patched but now there is no post story free roam. Definitely went from game of the year for me to mediocre at best devs need to learn that trophies and achievements are an important part of your game you cant half ass them
To reiterate what someone else said, if the video method doesn't work, just play the game on Master until you've got the first rot, then load the manual save at the shrine and it should work!
It actually worked for me by doing as you mentioned, thanks a lot

Turn off auto update
Hi Everyone,
Please watch a video called master difficulty glitch in Kena. That method still works!
doesnt seem to work for me currently (if I did it as you showed)
Ill have to get my first rot and try that method.
great game but I agree, I dont want to be forced into a 2nd playthrough
It doesn't work for me either
Didn’t work for me, I’m version 1.04 on ps5

I am pretty sure It will be patch update when the physical copy comes out
I doubt it will take that long since the physical version isn’t coming until November. Possible, but it seems unlikely.
There’s a new update version 1.05
Does it still work ?
Still works. Just popped it after updating the game. If this doesn’t work start a new game on master until you get the first Rot and then load the save file at the end of the game and meditate
It apparently doesn’t work on ps4
Does this still work? September 11th 2022
it says 1.03 for me in the main screen screen (bottom right) and i updated the game since launch. i can't update to a newer version. is that the version you mean or is a different version display somewhere else?
It's officially patched as of 1.13 I have tried it multiple times up to getting the rot
Well it doesn't work as on 3rd December 2023

Yeah its Aug 1st of 2022 this glitch doesn't work anymore
Any help?
This has been patched with recent update I've tried different methods to no avail
I just got it. Not patched yet
I'm not bothered anyways now almost finished it on master difficulty isn't that bad to be honest
This will get patched within days I’m sure
it already did, go offline right now.

What’s the point if you need a finished play-trough, ‘to avoid playing twice’? What am I missing here.. ?
You can't access master until you've completed the game once. It's irrelevant now as they patched out the glitch.
