Final Hearing Trophy Guide in Assassin's Creed Shadows

Written by Geekmandem - 28th March 2025

The Final Hearing Trophy is one of the easier Bronze Trophies in Assassin's Creed Shadows to get. But if you've found yourself a little stuck, we've got you covered.

Before we get started, it's important to note that Final Hearing is one of the trophies that is easier to get if you play as Yasuke. Naoe can do it, but her Bleed Buildup was a lot buggier in our testing. Below, we'll breakdown the best way to get the trophy and how to prepare yourself to make sure you do it correctly.

Final Hearing Trophy Guide

Bleed Damage Weapons Assassin's Creed Shadows

The first thing we need to do is get a Bleed Damage weapon. For this, we want to use Yasuke, who has two easy ways to do it. You will unlock Yasuke after Act 1 if you haven't got him already. There are two options for Yasuke's weapons for this: either using his Long Katana or his Naginata. Both of these will feature Bleed Damage as a possibility. To know if you have this, look at the item in the inventory and look for Bleed Buildup. You can see two examples in the images below. The rate of buildup isn't hugely important, as you can just fight enemies with more HP.

Pro tip: Fight elite enemies or those with armour to make the trophy easier.

If you're lucky, you'll have one of these already in your inventory already. If not, you'll need to break one of our essential tips by buying an item from a merchant. Note that merchant loot changes each season, so you might need to wait or travel to new merchants. You can also look around your map for any potential weapon upgrades that have Bleed Buildup.

Once that's done, then the hardest part is out of the way. Now, we just need to find an enemy to fight. The crucial part of the puzzle is the Bleed Icon under the enemy's health bar. Note that the enemy does not need to die to the Bleed Effect. However, the icon does need to be full.

This trophy is relatively simple, though we experienced some trial and error before achieving the correct outcome; it definitely wasn't successful on our first try. Eventually, we managed to get it to work after a bit of trial and error.

Final Hearing Trophy Tips

Pro tip: There is a Legendary perk that comes from the Bloodshade Katana, which causes Affliction Buildup to not drop off. This makes the trophy even easier.

  • Use a lower-level weapon so that you don't kill enemies too fast
  • Abilities are a good way to get high Bleed Buildup, while also doing a lot of damage
  • You don't need to kill the enemy with the bleed effect
  • Naoe can also do the trophy. However, Yasuke is much easier
  • Fighting enemies with armour makes the trophy easier, as you can build up the Bleed Effect on them while taking down their armour

This trophy has a sister trophy, the Overdesign III, which requires you to do the same but with both the Dazed and Poison effects active. This one is a lot harder, but we have it covered.
