The Acrobatics Trophy is one of the Assassin’s Creed Shadows Bronze Trophies that is relatively simple to achieve and can be unlocked in the early stages of the game, using Naoe’s grappling hook.
To unlock the trophy, you must use the grappling hook over deep water or a haystack and perform a Leap of Faith by jumping when you’re directly above either of these.
It’s important to note that the Acrobatics trophy requires you to use Naoe, as you’ll need her grappling hook function to perform the required actions. Keep reading to find out where to unlock this trophy in AC Shadows.
Acrobatics Trophy Guide
Unlocking the Acrobatics Trophy in the Old Kofun
If you’re a trophy collector who prefers convenience over visual flair, the Old Kofun is an ideal location to unlock the Acrobatics Trophy. With the potential to unlock three trophies in the Old Kofun playing as Naoe, the fifth chamber is where you’ll strike gold and can perform a Leap of Faith into the water below, albeit not in the most conventional way.
You can find The Old Kofun in the Izumi Settsu region, just North of Izumi Coast and East of Sakai. Our Kofun Raider Trophy Guide will help you navigate the Old Kofun, once you arrive.
When you reach chamber five in the Old Kofun, you’ll be prompted to grapple hook (L1 on PS5, LB on Xbox or Q on PC). Use the grappling hook and remain at the height you initially grapple at, do not climb up.
You must then turn and face the elevated tunnel on your left and begin swinging towards the wall.
Once you’ve swung backwards and forwards a couple of times, swing forwards till you’re very close to the wall (pictured above). Then, press to jump, triggering Naoe’s Leap of Faith into the water below.
Once you’ve completed this, the Acrobatics Trophy will be unlocked!
Unlocking the Acrobatics Trophy at Amagasaki Castle
If you’re aiming for a more authentic and cleaner Leap of Faith to unlock the Acrobatics trophy, then a spot near the North wall of Amagasaki Castle is your go-to.
Note: You won't need to enter the Castle to perform this Leap of Faith, so don’t worry about potential combat encounters. Simply head to the position marked on the map below.
Once you’ve found the hay bale on the bank across from the Castle, look up towards the tree on its left-hand side and walk towards it until the grapple hook prompt appears.
Grapple to the tree and begin to swing back and forth; do so until you’re swinging directly above the hay bale. Press to jump as you’re directly above the hay bale, and this will trigger a Leap of Faith.
Acrobatics Trophy Tips

- Timing is Everything: Make sure you’re swinging directly above the target before pressing jump. Timing your swing is crucial to performing a Leap of Faith.
