The “Speaking with the Land” trophy is found in the game *Ghost of Yōtei*. To unlock this trophy, you need to find and interact with 10 “Special Places” scattered across the game’s map. These locations are not marked on your in-game map, making them a hidden collectible challenge.

Here’s a detailed guide to help you earn the “Speaking with the Land” trophy:

**What to Look For and How to Interact:**
* **Special Places:** These unique spots are often marked by a wooden sign or a stone structure depicting a person bowing. However, some Special Places may not have a sign, but will still trigger the environmental effect when interacted with.
* **Interaction:** Once you find a Special Place, you need to either bow or play your shamisen.
* To **bow**, swipe down on your controller’s touchpad.
* To **play your shamisen**, swipe left on the touchpad (using Atsu’s Song by default).
* **Confirmation:** You’ll know you’ve successfully interacted with a Special Place when a unique environmental effect occurs. This could include leaves swirling around you, rare animals appearing, fish jumping out of the water, or tranquil wind sounds. If you’re unsure, bow a few times and check your PS5 trophy progress.

**Key Details and Tips:**
* **Quantity:** You need to interact with 10 *unique* Special Places to earn the trophy. There are more than 10 such locations in the game, giving you options.
* **Missable?** None of these Special Places are missable, meaning you can find them during your exploration of the game world or after completing the main story.
* **Regions:** Special Places are found across various regions of Ezo, including Yotei Grasslands, Ishikari Plain, Tokachi Range, Nayoro Wilds, and Oshima Coast. Many can be found relatively early in the game.
* **Trophy Progress:** Each successful interaction with a unique Special Place will contribute 10% to your trophy progress.
