How to unlock the You Dropped This trophy

Step 1

Visit any Altar of Reflection and unlock either the Disarm Counter or Onryo’s Strike skill. These enable you to disarm enemies, which is the core trophy requirement.

Step 2

Spot an enemy in combat. It’s best to weaken them first—get their health low so you guarantee the kill after disarming.

Step 3

Wait for an enemy to use an attack that flashes with a yellow glint. Execute the Disarm Counter by holding triangle and releasing with the right timing. Alternatively, use Onryo’s Strike for tougher targets; this skill consumes Spirit orbs and can be more reliable on armored enemies.

Step 4

Once the enemy drops their weapon, quickly grab it by pressing R2.

Step 5

Use the picked-up weapon to finish off the same disarmed enemy. Press square to attack, ensuring their remaining health is low enough to secure the kill and trigger the trophy unlock.

Tips to get You Dropped This trophy

  • If the killed enemy wasn’t the one you disarmed, or if the enemy is killed by the disarm move itself, the trophy won’t unlock. Make sure the final blow comes from the picked-up weapon.
  • This trophy can be unlocked in open world encounters, duels, or even certain side quests, granting a lot of flexibility.
  • Both Ronin and elite bandit enemies are ideal for this due to higher health pools.
  • Practice Disarm Counter timing on lower-level enemies before attempting against stronger foes.
  • Use Talismans or gear upgrades to boost Spirit regeneration, letting you use Onryo’s Strike more often in challenging encounters.
  • Save before tough fights so you can retry quickly if you miss the timing.
