Unlock the Expert trophy in Shenmue II by learning 10 combat skills. This guide details story moves, locations like Wise Men's Kung Fu, and more.

Hey there! So you're aiming for that 'Expert' trophy in Shenmue II, huh? It's all about mastering 10 combat skills. Don't worry, it sounds tougher than it is. Let's break down how to get them all. ## Description To snag this trophy, you just need to learn 10 combat skills throughout your journey. ## Guide ### Story Event Moves Some moves come to you naturally as part of the story. Keep an eye out for these: * Iron Palm: You'll learn this from Jianmin Tao in Lotus Park during the story. * Hind Blow: While searching for places to do the Chawan Sign, head past Yan Tin Apartments. Guixiang Lee will be outside and teach you this after a little sparring. * Wild Throw: Master Zhoushan Xuan at the Guang Martial Arts School will teach you this. It also nets you the 'Back To School' Trophy/Achievement! * Brawling Uppercut: If you're short on cash ($500 needed) when Wuying Ren asks for a donation, you'll have to earn it. Head to Fortune's Pier and work a shift carrying crates for Gonglin Sun. Afterward, Delin Hong will teach you this move. * Counter Elbow Assault: Xiuying Hong teaches you this when you say your goodbyes before leaving Hong Kong. * Predictive Explosion: You'll learn this in Kowloon when you visit Kai's Room as part of the story. * Demon's Triangle: This move scroll is given to you when you leave Kowloon. This is your last chance to learn a combat skill for the trophy, so make sure it's your 15th skill if you're aiming for that count. You'll need to master it when you reach Guilin. ### Locations with Moves Beyond the story moves, you can pick up more skills at various locations: #### Wise Men's Kung Fu This place has a few handy moves for sale: | Image | Item | Price | |---|---|---| | ![Shen2LWiseMKF-11](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/shenmue/images/4/4a/Shen2LWiseMKF-11.JPG/revision/latest?cb=20250630104621) | Oblique Air Kick | $100 | | ![Shen2LWiseMKF-12](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/shenmue/images/9/9c/Shen2LWiseMKF-12.JPG/revision/latest?cb=20250630104631) | Stepping Strike | $100 | | [![Shen2LWiseMKF-09]()](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/shenmue/images/d/d9/Shen2LWiseMKF-09.JPG/revision/latest?cb=20250630104559) | Dragon Spin | $200 | | [![Shen2LWiseMKF-10]()](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/shenmue/images/2/26/Shen2LWiseMKF-10.JPG/revision/latest?cb=20250630104611) | Twin Palm Thrust | $200 | | [![Shen2LWiseMKF-08]()](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/shenmue/images/d/d7/Shen2LWiseMKF-08.JPG/revision/latest?cb=20250630104546) | Double Storm Kick | $300 | #### Man Mo Temple When you're airing out the books as part of the story, Hanhui Liu will reward you with move scrolls.
