Welcome to the trophy guide for Swordsmen (VR)! You’ll be playing a knight on a crusade to slay all opponents. The game has a total of 40 campaign levels. They consist of a few enemies for you to defeat. Every 10th level has a boss which unlocks a powerful sword with passive and/or active abilities.

Your roadmap to platinum is as followed:
