The Blood of Dawnwalker: How to Unlock the Gear of the Gods Trophy

Filling every equipment slot with Legendary items is the only requirement, and late-game merchants are the fastest route.

Filling every equipment slot with Legendary items is the only requirement, and late-game merchants are the fastest route.

Gear of the Gods is one of the 38 bronze trophies in The Blood of Dawnwalker, and it is also a hidden one, so it will not show up in your trophy list with a visible description until you meet the condition. The requirement itself is short: every equipment slot on Coen has to hold a Legendary item at the same time.

Quick answer: Equip a Legendary-rarity item in every single equipment slot at once — weapons, armour, and accessories — and the trophy pops immediately while you are in the inventory screen.


What counts for Gear of the Gods

The check is purely on rarity, not on stats, level, or set bonuses. A Legendary sword you cannot properly wield still counts, as long as the game lets you equip it. Empty slots break the condition, so a missing ring or a bare accessory slot is enough to stop the trophy from firing even if everything else is Legendary.

Where Legendary items come from

There are two reliable supplies. Chests scattered around Vale Sangora can drop Legendary gear, but the odds are low enough that you should not plan around them. The dependable source is merchants in the later stretch of the game, whose stock includes Legendary items.

Merchant inventories are randomised, which is the part that trips people up. Two visits to the same vendor will not show the same list, and a shop that had nothing worth buying early can hold exactly the piece you need once you are further along. Treat every armourer, blacksmith, and general store as a slot machine you can pull more than once.

Note: money is the real bottleneck. The Miser trophy asks you to bank 5,000 denarii and Smuggler asks for 1,000 denarii earned from selling silver, so hoarding coin naturally feeds into this one. Selling off duplicate gear and silver while you tour vendors keeps the purchases affordable.


How to fill every slot

Open your inventory and note which slots are still holding non-Legendary gear or sitting empty. That list is your shopping list for the rest of the run.
Visit every vendor you pass and scan their stock for Legendary-rarity entries, even if you are mid-quest and not shopping. There are four armourers, four blacksmiths, and nine general stores in Vale Sangora, and each one is a separate roll.

Come back to those same vendors later in the game. Because their inventories reroll, a shop you cleared out earlier can restock with Legendary pieces you still need.
Keep opening chests as you clear bandit camps, monster lairs, and ruins. Legendary drops from containers are rare, but they cost you nothing extra since you are exploring anyway.
Once you own a Legendary piece for every slot, equip them all in a single pass and stay in the menu for a moment. Do not leave a slot swapped out for a stronger non-Legendary item while you check.

Confirming the trophy unlocked

The pop happens the moment the last slot is filled, usually while the inventory screen is still open. If nothing appears, the cause is almost always one of two things. Either a slot is empty, or one equipped piece is a tier below Legendary and easy to misread at a glance. Cycle through the full loadout one slot at a time and check the rarity label on each item rather than trusting the colour of the icon.

When to go for it in a playthrough

There is no rush. The 30-day countdown to rescue Coen’s family does not run in the background — time is spent like a currency on dialogue choices, skills, and quests — and the game keeps going after the limit expires, with side content still available. That means the equipment hunt is not something the clock can take away from you.

Practically, this trophy lands in the cleanup phase alongside the other itemisation ones like Arbiter’s Blade and Arbiter’s Regalia. Keep a manual save before the ending, finish the story, then spend your remaining time touring vendors with a full purse. Also worth remembering: do not kill non-hostile NPCs, vendors, or quest givers, since removing a merchant removes one of your chances at a Legendary roll.

Gear of the Gods is one of the last bronze trophies most players will tick off, not because it is hard but because it waits on randomised stock and denarii. Bank your coin, keep a mental list of the slots you still need, and stop at every shop you walk past — the loadout fills itself in over a few hours of normal play.
