Ghost of Yotei Disarm Counter Guide | You Dropped This
The You Dropped This trophy in Ghost of Yotei requires you to disarm an enemy and then kill them using their own weapon. This challenge ties directly to the Disarm Counter skill and can only be done once you’ve unlocked it through the Onryo skill tree. Below is the full method to unlock, execute, and complete this trophy efficiently.
To complete You Dropped This, unlock the Disarm Counter or Onryo Strike skill, use either to make an enemy drop their weapon, then pick it up and throw it back at them to finish the kill. The trophy only triggers if the thrown weapon lands the final blow.
How to Unlock Disarm Counter
Disarm Counter is a skill found at an Altar of Reflection. Altars appear across Ezo and can be tracked by purchasing Overlook Altar maps from the Cartographer for 50 Coins. Interact with the altar and select the Disarm Counter node from the Onryo skill tree.
Onryo Strike also counts for this trophy but has a higher chance of killing the enemy outright before disarming them. For consistency, Disarm Counter is the safer option.
How to Perform the Disarm Counter
Once unlocked, wait for an enemy to use a yellow glint attack. The brief flash before their strike signals a charged attack. During this animation, hold Triangle to activate the Disarm Counter. Atsu will parry the blow and knock the enemy’s weapon to the ground instead of killing them.
This works best on human enemies using melee weapons, as heavier or spirit-based foes cannot be disarmed. Avoid killing weaker enemies before they initiate the yellow attack animation.
How to Kill the Enemy with Their Weapon
After disarming the target, walk over the dropped weapon and press R2 to pick it up. Then, press Square to throw it back at them. If the throw kills them, you’ll immediately unlock the You Dropped This trophy.
To guarantee the kill, weaken the enemy first. A few light attacks before disarming ensures that the thrown weapon deals fatal damage. If the enemy still survives, repeat the process with another yellow glint attack.
Tips for Success
Use Disarm Counter on standard soldiers or bandits, as they attack with predictable yellow glints.
Avoid armored foes, since their weapons deal reduced throw damage.
Perform this early in the game when enemy health is lower and encounters are easier to control.
Equip faster weapons like Dual Katanas to build Spirit and close distance quickly after disarming.
Final Blurb
Earning the You Dropped This trophy in Ghost of Yotei is all about timing and patience. Unlock Disarm Counter early, practice reading yellow glint attacks, and finish the job with their own weapon.
Once the weapon lands the killing blow, the trophy pops instantly, marking another step toward your platinum.
