Trophy \/ Achievement Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to our The Blood of Dawnwalker Trophy Guide and Roadmap<\/strong>. The game features 47 trophies on PS5<\/strong>, consisting of 1 Platinum, 3 Gold, 5 Silver and 38 Bronze trophies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Platinum can be earned in a single playthrough, but careful manual-save management is essential. More than 15 trophies can be missed through story decisions, failed quests, inaccessible merchants or progression beyond certain points. You must also complete one full ending on the highest difficulty without changing its preset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roadmap Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Platinum can be earned in one playthrough, but the route depends on careful save management. Begin on Duelist<\/strong>, complete one full ending without changing any difficulty settings, and then return to a permanent pre-ending save for everything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vale Sangora runs on a 30-day deadline. Each day contains eight daytime and eight nighttime segments. The clock does not move while you explore; time is spent when you finish quests, learn certain upgrades or select time-consuming actions. Your first priority is therefore not to clear the map, but to become strong enough to finish the main campaign while preserving enough days for the ending requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Duelist ending is complete, you can reload, lower the difficulty and work through the remaining endings, character stories and open-world cleanup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before You Begin: Protect the Playthrough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Select the Duelist preset<\/strong> before starting and do not change the preset or any individual difficulty option until Uphill Battle<\/strong> has unlocked.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Do not attack friendly characters, merchants or quest-givers. Their deaths may remove quests, vendors and trophy opportunities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Rotate through several manual-save slots instead of continually overwriting one file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Create permanent saves after the prologue, before every Boyar confrontation and before starting the final quest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Quicksave before combat and during long exploration sessions. Free-roam progress is not always protected by an autosave.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Treat Day 24 as the preferred point for reaching the finale. This leaves a useful buffer before the 30-day deadline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    Step 1: Survive the Prologue on Duelist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Start the game using the untouched Duelist preset and play through the opening chapter until Vale Sangora becomes fully accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    During Withering Away<\/strong>, prepare Esme\u2019s medicine with hot water and three spoonfuls of herbs<\/strong>. Finish this objective before its timer expires or Esme will die. Continue through Smoke and Ashes<\/strong>, where the story introduces Compel Soul and eventually releases Coen into the open world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Do not worry about completing every optional prologue activity. The purpose of this stage is to establish a clean Duelist run and unlock free exploration without wasting early time segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Create a new manual save as soon as the prologue ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Trophies associated with this step:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Dead Man Talkin\u2019<\/strong> \u2013 use Compel Soul during Smoke and Ashes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • A Dawnwalker is Born<\/strong> \u2013 complete the prologue and enter the open world.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Antique Aficionado<\/strong> \u2013 can be earned early through Deep Down, although it can also wait until later.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Step 2: Build a Fast Travel Kit and Reveal the Map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Before committing to the main campaign, improve Coen\u2019s movement. Purchase Shapeshift<\/strong> from Vampirism and Mercurial Fervour<\/strong> from Witchcraft when possible. With no mount available, these abilities significantly reduce the time spent crossing the map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Use nighttime exploration to reach all 11 towers<\/strong>. Vampiric traversal, especially Shadowstep, makes climbing easier after dark. Activating a tower reveals nearby points of interest as question marks, turning the unexplored map into a practical list of levelling opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      While travelling between towers, enter Svartrau, pass through villages and use vampiric movement whenever possible. These actions build progress toward several exploration trophies without consuming story days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Trophies associated with this step:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Bird\u2019s-Eye View<\/strong> \u2013 activate all 11 towers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Shadow Roamer<\/strong> \u2013 travel 1,000 metres with vampiric traversal abilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Big-City Living<\/strong> \u2013 enter Svartrau.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Tour Guide Training<\/strong> \u2013 visit all eight villages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Absolutely Insatiable<\/strong> \u2013 may become available after Shapeshift, Mercurial Fervour and another Passive Ability are equipped.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Step 3: Reach a Safe Power Level Without Spending too many days<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Use the newly revealed points of interest to strengthen Coen before tackling the Court. Monster Lairs, Persons in Danger, Soldier Camps, Bandit Camps and Ancient Circles provide experience, equipment and Skill Points without forcing you deep into character questlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Begin in the northern half of the map, where encounters are more manageable. Move south only as Coen becomes stronger. A red skull indicates that an enemy is far above your current level and should be avoided on Duelist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Aim for approximately Level 22<\/strong>. At that point, most regions become survivable and the Court campaign is much less punishing. Try to finish this preparation before Day 15. Avoid starting large side-quest chains unless you already understand their time cost; they can be completed safely after the first ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        This is also a good moment to work on simple combat and resource trophies. However, never delay the story merely to grind something that can be cleaned up later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Useful trophies to progress or complete here:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Untouchable<\/strong> \u2013 perform five consecutive Perfect Blocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Balanced Diet<\/strong> \u2013 restore health by feeding ten times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Feral Hunger<\/strong> \u2013 trigger an out-of-combat feeding incident before Closing Wounds makes it less convenient.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Better Safe than Sorry<\/strong> \u2013 combine Burning Blood with an Artery Strike decapitation after obtaining the required Manuals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Miser<\/strong> \u2013 hold 5,000 denarii at once.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Selfish<\/strong> \u2013 sell fish back to the Svartrau Fishmonger before maximum Infamy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Smuggler<\/strong> \u2013 begin storing silver; the trader becomes available at Infamy Level 4.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Mastery<\/strong> \u2013 fully upgrade one Ability if the required Manuals and points are available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Step 4: Break the Court and Deal With the Three Boyars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          The campaign advances through the Court Activities belonging to Ambrus, Bakir and Xanthe<\/strong>. Completing their operations raises each Boyar\u2019s anger meter. Once a meter reaches its limit, that character\u2019s confrontation quest becomes available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          You only need roughly three quarters of the available Court Activities, not every activity on the map. Use the Court menu to track progress and prioritize the shortest route to all three boss quests. Court Activities consume time, so continue watching the calendar and aim to finish the three Boyars by about Day 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Their major quests are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • The Gilded Gauntlet<\/strong> \u2013 confrontation with Ambrus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • The Lunar Game<\/strong> \u2013 confrontation with Bakir.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • The Cycle of Love<\/strong> \u2013 confrontation with Xanthe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Your decisions during these confrontations do not remove the four full ending trophies. Xanthe can be killed or convinced to cooperate. If you want Blood Surge for Make It Rain<\/strong>, either consume her blood directly or collect the Phial of Xanthe\u2019s Blood from the cathedral treasury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Complete Selfish<\/strong> and Smuggler<\/strong> before reaching Infamy Level 9. At maximum Infamy, Svartrau becomes hostile and normal access to its merchants is lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            You may encounter Home Sweet Home<\/strong> during this part of the game. Do not force its secret ending on Duelist. Save it for the post-Duelist cleanup when the combat can be reduced to Story difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Trophies associated with this step:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • The Right Fist of the Knyaz<\/strong> \u2013 defeat Ambrus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • The Mad Khan<\/strong> \u2013 defeat Bakir.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • The Dark Mistress<\/strong> \u2013 neutralise Xanthe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Throne of Thorns<\/strong> \u2013 reach Infamy Level 9.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Delivery Delay<\/strong> \u2013 destroy eight Vrakhiri transports encountered through Court Activities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Make It Rain<\/strong> \u2013 unlock Blood Surge through Xanthe\u2019s blood and explode an enemy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Realmwalker<\/strong> \u2013 may unlock early through Boyar blood or later during the Brencis battle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Step 5: Create the Master Save and Secure the Duelist Completion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              After all three Boyars have been handled, maximum Infamy should be reached. Advance to the following day if necessary and watch the sequence announcing the latest Infamy Edicts. Brencis will then request a meeting, opening the final quest A Deal with the Devil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Before accepting the quest, make a new manual save in a separate slot. This is the most important save in the entire roadmap. Do not overwrite it after entering the finale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              For the first completion, accept Brencis\u2019s offer and follow The Turncoat<\/strong> route. This ending avoids the final boss fight, making it the safest way to complete the required full ending on Duelist. Because it rescues the family within the deadline, it can unlock the difficulty, timed and story-completion trophies together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Keep every difficulty option untouched until the ending has finished and Uphill Battle<\/strong> appears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Trophies associated with this step:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • The Turncoat<\/strong> \u2013 accept Brencis\u2019s deal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Uphill Battle<\/strong> \u2013 finish a full ending on the Duelist preset.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • In the Nick of Time<\/strong> \u2013 rescue the family within 30 days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • The Blood of Dawnwalker<\/strong> \u2013 finish the story.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Step 6: Rewind the Finale and Unlock Every Other Ending<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                Reload the master save created before A Deal with the Devil<\/strong>. Once Uphill Battle<\/strong> is confirmed, change the difficulty to Story for faster cleanup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The remaining full endings require preparation rather than another entire playthrough. Complete Lacra\u2019s storyline to make her available for the final confrontation and do the same for Crake. Return to the master branch before each finale and select the appropriate ally or solo route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Use additional manual saves before important decisions inside the Lacra and Crake questlines. Their optional quests are also connected to Misery Loves Company<\/strong> and The Manumit<\/strong>, so complete those requirements before advancing to their ending missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The two early endings are separate from the Brencis finale:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • A Hero They Deserve<\/strong> is triggered by leaving Vale Sangora through the western exit in Briar Sloughs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Together Forever<\/strong> requires repeatedly completing the combat loop in Home Sweet Home and refusing the escape offered by the well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  Reload after each ending so the main cleanup file remains usable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Trophies associated with this step:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  • The Patricide<\/strong> \u2013 defeat Brencis with Lacra.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • The Knyazmaker<\/strong> \u2013 defeat Brencis with Crake.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • The Folk Hero<\/strong> \u2013 defeat Brencis without either ally.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • A Hero They Deserve<\/strong> \u2013 abandon Vale Sangora.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Together Forever<\/strong> \u2013 remain with Coen\u2019s family inside the dream.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Misery Loves Company<\/strong> \u2013 complete The Night of Horrors before Lacra\u2019s ending mission.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • The Manumit<\/strong> \u2013 complete Distant Shadows and A Closer Look before Crake\u2019s ending missions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
