The Blood of Dawnwalker is the debut release from Rebel Wolves, a studio built by veterans of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and the game brings that same completionist energy you'd expect from that pedigree. There are 47 trophies and achievements spread across the full experience, covering everything from story milestones and combat mastery to exploration and economy. The good news: the list is manageable, and with smart save management you can clear the Platinum in under 30 hours.
How many trophies does Blood of Dawnwalker have?
The game has 47 trophies and achievements in total. Here's how the breakdown shakes out across rarity tiers:
The single Platinum trophy, Every Last Drop, requires you to collect every other trophy in the game. Four Gold trophies sit at the top of the pile, covering story completion, the hardest difficulty, the time-sensitive family rescue, and hitting the Level 50 cap.

What are the Gold trophies and how do you earn them?
Gold trophies represent the biggest asks in the game. Three of the four are story-dependent, while one requires grinding to the level cap.
- Uphill Battle - Complete the entire game on the Duelist Difficulty preset. This is the hardest challenge the list asks of you. Save this for a second run or commit to it from the start.
- In the Nick of Time - Rescue your family before the timer expires. This is tied to the game's core time mechanic, so prioritize the family storyline early.
- The Blood of Dawnwalker - Finish the main story. You'll earn this naturally.
- Glass Ceiling - Reach Level 50. This may require deliberate grinding if you're rushing the story.
Which Silver trophies are mutually exclusive?
Four of the five Silver trophies are tied to how you resolve the conflict with Brencis, the game's antagonist. These endings branch based on your choices, and only one is available per playthrough without reloading saves.
- The Turncoat - Betray your allies, deal with Brencis, recover your family.
- The Patricide - Defeat Brencis alongside Lacra.
- The Knyazmaker - Defeat Brencis alongside Crake.
- The Folk Hero - Defeat Brencis solo. The description makes it clear the game is very pleased with itself about this one.
The fifth Silver trophy, Untouchable, is purely skill-based: land 5 Perfect Blocks in a row. This is earnable at any point during combat.

What's the fastest way to earn the Platinum?
With careful save management, clearing the Platinum in under 30 hours is achievable. Here's the approach that works:
- Handle the story branches first. Before the Brencis confrontation, save your file and collect all four Silver ending trophies by reloading after each one.
- Track the skill tree trophies early.Master of Arms, Arch Warlock, and Creature of the Night each require reaching the Ultimate Perk tier in one of the three trees. Pick one tree to max out first and treat the others as secondary objectives.
- Don't ignore the economy trophies.Miser (5000 denarii) and Smuggler (1000 denarii from silver sales) are easy to miss if you spend freely. Hold onto silver items specifically for the Smuggler trophy before converting them to cash for general spending.
- Exploration trophies stack naturally.Bird's Eye View, Tour Guide Training, Big-City Living, Realmwalker, and Antique Aficionado will mostly unlock through normal play if you're thorough. Don't stress about these.
- Feral Hunger requires deliberate setup. You need to lose control and drain someone outside of combat. This won't happen by accident in a careful playthrough, so plan for it.
Tips for the trickier Bronze trophies
Most Bronze trophies are self-explanatory, but a few have specific requirements worth noting:
Better Safe Than Sorry requires you to behead an enemy with Artery Strike while they are simultaneously hexed with Burning Blood. You need both the Artery Strike and Burning Blood abilities unlocked before this is possible. Apply Burning Blood first, then land the Artery Strike kill.
Capture the Flag requires finding and tearing down all of Brencis's flags across Vale Sangora. These are scattered throughout the world, so treat them like collectibles and check each area thoroughly before moving on.
The Tsarina's Favourite Human requires completing every task given by the sanzhani. Don't skip or abandon any of their quests, as failing to complete one could lock this trophy.
Shadow Roamer tracks 1000 metres traveled using Vampiric Abilities specifically. Regular movement doesn't count. Make a habit of using vampiric traversal whenever possible to accumulate this distance passively.
