Trophy and achievement overview
The Blood of Dawnwalker has 46 achievements on Steam and Xbox. PlayStation 5 has 47 trophies: 1 platinum, 3 gold, 5 silver, and 38 bronze. There are no online trophies or achievements; completion is entirely route, combat, exploration, and story based.
The live platform list is the authority for the exact wording. This page explains how to plan around the objectives that can be missed, locked behind an ending, or tied to Duelist difficulty.
Before starting
- Create a manual save at the start of the prologue.
- Create a second save before the final evening segment and before Sacred Covenant.
- Keep a pre-finale save before A Deal with the Devil.
- Save before the final quest of the Anca, Crake, and Lacra questlines.
- Record which villages, shrines, hidden sites, and Court Activities you have completed.
- Install the current patch before testing an achievement trigger.
Missable categories
Category | Examples | How to protect the run --- | --- | --- Prologue | Live Bait, Blasphemy, Deep Down, Enter Not and other opening tasks | Finish clock-marked quests before Mass; unfinished tasks fail after Sacred Covenant Endings | The Turncoat, Folk Hero, Patricide, Knyazmaker, A Hero They Deserve, Together Forever | Keep a final-quest save and reload it for each outcome Romance | Anca, Crake, and Lacra route achievements | Keep a save before commitment dialogue and finish each personal chain Court Activities | Vassal and ally progression | Complete the activities needed for your selected ending before the final quest Exploration | Villages, shrines, hidden sites, and secrets | Mark every location and clean up from the pre-finale save Difficulty | Uphill Battle / Duelist completion | Use a dedicated Duelist run and finish one of the four standard endings
Community trophy lists flag roughly 19 objectives as missable in a careless run, but disciplined saves make the route recoverable. Treat any objective involving a named NPC, prologue quest, ending, or point-of-no-return quest as missable until the platform description proves otherwise.
Ending-linked achievements
Achievement / trophy | Requirement | Route --- | --- | --- The Turncoat | Betray allies and accept Brencis's deal | A Deal with the Devil → Manumit hideout In the Nick of Time | Rescue the family before 30 days expire | Reach a qualifying ending in time The Folk Hero | Defeat Brencis alone | Reject ally help in the final dialogue The Patricide | Defeat Brencis with Lacra | Complete Midnight Reckoning and choose Lacra The Knyazmaker | Defeat Brencis with Crake | Complete Rise at Dawn / final Crake route A Hero They Deserve | Leave Vale Sangora early | Use the western exit at night Together Forever | Stay with the family in Home Sweet Home | Complete four dream loops and stay on the fifth
The 30-day failure ending has no ending trophy. It can still be useful for seeing the alternate story outcome, but do not use it for a completion run.
Duelist requirement
The Duelist completion objective requires a standard ending that saves the people of Laslea. Use one of the four normal endings—Turncoat, Folk Hero, Patricide, or Knyazmaker. The early endings and Time Runs Out do not satisfy this requirement.
For a safer Duelist run, keep the interface settings you are comfortable with, upgrade one reliable combat tree first, and make a save before every high-risk boss or irreversible choice. A death or failed quest can waste more time than the combat itself.
One-playthrough strategy
You can unlock the seven ending outcomes from one campaign by keeping a pre-finale save, finishing the Lacra and Crake questlines before committing, and reloading after each ending. That does not mean every achievement is best attempted in one uninterrupted save: the Duelist requirement, prologue missables, NPC outcomes, and exploration routes are safer when separated into planned saves.
Recommended order:
- First run: play normally, complete prologue missables, explore, and keep the pre-finale save.
- From the pre-finale save: trigger all seven endings and ending-linked achievements.
- Second run if needed: start on Duelist and prioritize the standard ending, while using the first run's notes for routes and combat.
- Final cleanup: revisit villages, shrines, named quests, combat challenges, and any achievement whose platform description remains incomplete.
