Dawnwalker Trophy Guide & Roadmap: All 47 Trophies
Trophy counts, platinum estimates, missables, manual-save strategy, Duelist requirement, endings and achievement cleanup.
The PS5 list contains 47 trophies: 1 Platinum, 3 Gold, 5 Silver and 38 Bronze. Steam and Xbox have 46 achievements because they do not include the Platinum. A published launch roadmap estimates 40–60 hours and 5/10 difficulty, with 19 potentially missable trophies protected by disciplined manual saves.
Roadmap at a glance
The entire list is offline. The main skill check is Uphill Battle, which requires saving Laslea while playing on the Duelist difficulty preset. The main planning risk is In the Nick of Time, which requires rescuing Coen's family before the 30-day deadline.
- PS5 trophies: 47 total
- Steam and Xbox achievements: 46
- Estimated difficulty: 5/10
- Estimated completion time: 40–60 hours
- Online trophies: 0
- Potentially missable trophies: 19
- Reported manual save slots: 54
Step 1: build a rolling save archive
Use a different manual slot at the start of every in-game day and before any choice carrying a visible time cost. Do not rely only on autosaves.
The game provides enough manual slots to preserve a practical day-by-day archive. This turns many missables into reloadable branches and protects the timed rescue, boss routes and ending choices.
- Never overwrite the only pre-quest save
- Keep permanent saves before each Court boss
- Keep a save before day 30
- Keep a save before the final Brencis sequence
- Keep separate saves before Lacra and Crake commitments
Step 2: plan the Duelist completion
Uphill Battle is the only trophy explicitly tied to a difficulty preset. Start on Duelist if one-playthrough efficiency matters, and do not lower the preset unless the game clearly confirms that the trophy remains eligible.
Prioritize the family rescue and the three Court targets before optional cleanup. The 30-day system limits quest expenditure, not free exploration, so resource gathering and route planning do not need to be rushed in real time.
Step 3: branch the endings
Four Silver trophies map to the principal Brencis outcomes: The Turncoat, The Folk Hero, The Patricide and The Knyazmaker. Prepare both Lacra and Crake, then preserve a manual save before the final branch.
The early A Hero They Deserve and Together Forever outcomes also finish the story for the general Gold trophy, but they do not replace the Duelist rescue route. Use earlier backup saves for them.
Step 4: clean up exploration and combat
The remaining list rewards exploration, progression and deliberate use of systems rather than online grinding.
- Reach level 50
- Unlock an Ultimate Perk in Swordmastery, Witchcraft and Vampirism
- Climb every scouting tower
- Restore St Mihai's sword and complete the Arbiter armor set
- Destroy eight vrakhiri transports
- Travel 1,000 metres with vampiric abilities
- Accumulate 5,000 denarii
- Perform five Perfect Blocks in a row
- Complete the named companion and side-quest outcomes
PS5 trophies versus Steam achievements
Steam's official launch bulletin confirms 46 achievements. PS5 adds the Every Last Drop Platinum for collecting the rest, producing a 47-trophy list. The underlying gameplay requirements are otherwise aligned across platforms.
Hidden achievement names can reveal bosses, allies and endings. Disable hidden-trophy reveals if you want a spoiler-light first playthrough.
What is genuinely missable
The timed family rescue, difficulty completion, mutually exclusive endings and choice-dependent quest outcomes are the main risks. Published launch testing counts 19 as missable in a linear run, but frequent manual saves allow most to be recovered without beginning from zero.
Patch behavior and trophy tracking can change during launch week. If a requirement fails to unlock, keep the qualifying save, install the latest update and retry the final trigger before replaying a full route.
