Ghost of Tsushima has 23 Pillars of Honor. While finding all Pillars of Honor Locations doesn’t have a trophy tied to it specifically, they each unlock a piece of Vanity Gear which count towards the 30 you need for “Slay”. However, you also get enough Vanity Gear from the Story and other tasks so it’s not necessary to collect the Pillars of Honor for the platinum trophy.
None of the Pillars of Honor Collectibles are missable! It doesn’t matter what dialogue choices or what ending you pick during the story. You can still get all Pillars of Honor after the story in free-roam. You can reveal them on the map as question marks by liberating all of the Occupied Mongol Territories.
Simply interact with the Pillar once and it will give you the Vanity Gear.
