The Blood of Dawnwalker: All Trophies and Achievements Explained

Every trophy, its unlock condition, and the choice-locked endings that force more than one playthrough for the platinum.

Every trophy, its unlock condition, and the choice-locked endings that force more than one playthrough for the platinum.

The Blood of Dawnwalker tracks 47 trophies on PlayStation and 46 achievements on Xbox, the difference being the platinum, Every Last Drop, which only exists on PS5. The set rewards the game’s core loops, including sword combat, witchcraft, vampirism, exploration across Vale Sangora, and the branching story where Coen has thirty in-game days to save his family from Brencis. Because several of those trophies are tied to endings and one-way choices, you cannot collect them all in a single run.

Quick answer: Finish the story to bank the main progression trophies, then replay to grab each mutually exclusive Brencis outcome (The Folk Hero, The Knyazmaker, The Patricide, The Turncoat) and the other choice-locked endings. Once every other trophy pops, Every Last Drop unlocks automatically as the platinum on PS5.

Trophies that require more than one playthrough

The story runs on a strict thirty-day countdown, and many of your decisions are permanent. The clearest example is the final confrontation with Brencis. You can only resolve it one way per run, and each resolution has its own trophy that cancels out the others.

TrophyRoute it locks you into
The Folk HeroDefeat Brencis alone
The KnyazmakerDefeat Brencis alongside Crake
The PatricideDefeat Brencis alongside Lacra
The TurncoatBetray your allies and side with Brencis to get your family back

Beyond the Brencis outcomes, endings such as In the Nick of Time, A Hero They Deserve, and Together Forever depend on how you spend your limited days, so plan for at least four full playthroughs to sweep them all. Save management helps a lot here, since reloading before a key decision lets you branch without replaying entire chapters.

The hardest platinum requirements

Most trophies come naturally through combat, exploration, and character growth. A handful demand specific setups or a dedicated run. Uphill Battle in particular asks you to finish the whole game on the Duelist difficulty preset while saving the people of Laslea, so it is worth deciding early whether to fold it into your first serious playthrough.

TrophyWhat it takes
Uphill BattleBeat the game on Duelist difficulty while saving Laslea
Glass CeilingReach Level 50
Gear of the GodsFill every equipment slot with Legendary items
Master of Arms, Arch Warlock, Creature of the NightUnlock an Ultimate Perk in each of the three skill trees
The Tsarina’s Favourite HumanComplete every task given by the sanzhani

Note: the three Ultimate Perk trophies pull from separate trees (Swordmastery, Witchcraft, Vampirism), so spread your points with all three in mind rather than pouring everything into one.

How to confirm the platinum unlocked

Every Last Drop is a stacking trophy, so it pops on its own the moment the 46th trophy registers. If it does not fire, the missing piece is almost always one of the branching endings, since those are the only trophies that cannot coexist in a single save. Check your trophy list against the Brencis outcomes and the family-related endings first, then reload an earlier save to take the route you still need. There is no difficulty scaling on the collectible or ability trophies, so anything left over is a matter of a specific action rather than a grind.
