Welcome to the Avowed Trophy Guide & Roadmap!
- 7/10 – Estimated Difficulty
- These aren’t so much difficult as they are very missable and require a certain way through the game.
- 55 – 65 – Estimated Hours to Completion
- 1 – Minimum Play-Throughs
- 1 Playthrough is possible but 2 are recommended
- Almost everything – Missable Trophies
- 1 – Difficulty Related Trophy
- 0 – Online Multiplayer Trophies
First up, there are A LOT of missable Trophies on this list. Some of them will cancel out others via story decisions. Everything here can be completed in a single playthrough, but it is going to require playing on the hardest difficulty, Path of the Damned, and you will need utilize some strategic save scumming. You will also need to aim for the evil ending. If you want to get everything in a single playthrough, you can follow along with the missable Trophy walkthrough below. Aside from that, you’re going to need to complete and find just about everything the game has to offer.
Whether or not you’re going for 1 playthrough or multiple, you’re going to need to be strict with your XP gains. You will need to reach the max level, 30, and it can be a little bit of a pain to reach. In order to reach level 30, you’re going to need to do everything possible in the game in addition to killing most of the enemies on each map. As you play through the game and travel across the maps, make sure you are killing every enemy you come across. You need to kill almost all of them. The various pieces of side content will take you across the majority of each map. All of that will need to be done to earn this Platinum anyway, so just make sure you’re killing everything you encounter in-between objectives. Enemies do not respawn and there is no free roam after the story. So you need to make sure to complete everything before crossing the point of no return, not only for every other Trophy on this list, but also for reaching level 30. When you do reach the point of no return, you’re going to want to be very close to, or at level 27. When you do cross through the point of no return, you’ll want to be just as thorough in the Garden as you were in the other regions. Fully explore and kill all of the enemies in the Garden.
The game will tell you when you reach the point of no return. There is no free roam after the story, so you will need to make sure you have everything completed before crossing over into the point of no return. The guide below will split into a walkthrough for missables as well as traditional Trophy guide below the walkthrough.
Missable Trophy Walkthrough
You’ll travel through the game by visiting the sections listed below in the same order. Do everything listed below when you reach each area. Also, you will want to kill any enemies you come across in the open world. Enemies don’t respawn and you don’t want to have comb over the maps near the end of the game looking for enemies for XP. Completing everything else on this list will provide the majority of the XP. When you reach the point of no return, you will want to be at level 27. The rest of the story will get you to level 30 from there. So, make sure you are killing as many enemies as you can as you make your way through the open world maps.
Fort Northreach

After dropping down, follow the path into the next room where there is a big green crystal in the back of the room. In this room, head over to the right side where you can find a dead NPC sitting up against the wall. There is a switch above his head that you can interact with to open the door to the hidden room.

- During the main story quest, “Our Dreams Divide Us Still,” you need to side with Lodwyn when you speak to her at Mt. Forja. There are multiple paths through the conversation, but you need end up choosing the option,
- You’re right. I’m going to the Garden to destroy Sapadal.
- Then, continue to side with Lodwyn for the rest of the conversation. This is progress toward the Tyranny ending.
- Later on in the same main story quest, “Our Dreams Divide Us Still,” you need to agree to help Kostya destroy the gears. Interact with the gears in the wall to make this choice. This is progress toward the Tyranny ending.
*Point of No Return* – Make a save before entering the Garden that you can revert back if needed. There is no free roam after the story.
The Garden
- Once you enter the garden, you will not be able to leave. So, you will need to finish anything you may have left over before entering. Make sure you’ve finished the following:
- Side Quests
- Bounties
- Treasure Maps
- Entering every Dungeon
- Unlock all camps/fast travel points

- Fully upgrade a weapon and armor – If you haven’t done these yet, there will be materials in the Garden to loot that can be used for upgrading the final tier of your gear.
- Found all Totems
- All training sessions with your companions.
- Found every Ancient Memory
- You’ll also want to be at, level 27 before going through the point of no return in order to reach max level (30). It’s okay to be just under at level 26, but you need to get as close to 27 as you can. The rest of the story will provide you with the required amount of XP to reach 30. Be as thorough as you possibly can and kill every enemy in the final sections of the game. You need every bit of XP you can get.
- If you have any misc. Trophies left, you can complete them now or reload PONR save file afterwards to complete them.
- The remaining, dungeons, party camps, Strangled Adra, Ancient Memory are all found in the Garden.
- If you’ve entered every other dungeon so far, you’ll pop the “Dungeon Siege” upon entering the the Garden.
- After finding the first camp in the Garden, climb up the stone ledges to the left of the door that the objective marker is on. Climb up these and follow the path to the end where the optional quest, “Pulling Back the Veil” will begin with Giatta’s scene.
- Marius’ scene will be on the main story path.
- Progress through the area until you fight 2 of the new statue enemies at the same time. There will be a closed door ahead of you with 2 big chains hanging from either side after that fight. Don’t go through the door. Instead, take the path that goes left. There will be a floating rock with a light on it. Follow this path to the end for Kai’s scene.
- After a fight with enemies, there will be a section of water that you need to swim through in order to progress. Swim under water and go until you surface on the other side of the area. When you surface, swim to the left. You should find a doorway that is blocked with vines that you can burn away. Burn them and then use ice on the water to create a frozen platform that you can stand on to climb up the ledge you just burned away. Follow the path through that doorway until the end where you can find the 5th and final Strangled Adra.
- The final Ancient Memory is found in the Broken Aqueduct area of the Garden. It is behind a closed set of a doors at the top of some stairs. Get this before advancing the main story by platforming up the floating stones and logs
- After climbing up the floating stones and logs, you’ll eventually climb some stairs where a statue enemy is fighting a skeleton enemy. The story path will go left across another floating bridge made up of debris. Before going that way, go through the closed set of doors on the right. Go through them and into the next building to initiate Yatzli’s scene and to pop the “We’re All in This Together” Trophy.
- Continue through the Garden until you have to fight two Pristine Maegfolc. When you kill them, you will need to loot a Severed Maegfolc Arm from each of them. After looting those arms, you need to make a separate manual save that you can reload back to in a few minutes. Pick up the arms, make a save and then insert them into the machine. During the scene, choose to free Sapadal. This will earn you the Allochory Trophy.
- After earning Allochory, reload the save you made at the machine. This time, you will need to make the choice to destroy Sapadal. This will earn you the Parasitoid Trophy as well as advance you toward the Tyranny ending. Even after getting both of these Trophies, make sure to keep a save file at this point jus tin case you finish the game under missing level 30.
Dawnshore
- When speaking to Hylgard, you need to choose the following options:
- I already know what I’m fighting for – Lodwyn’s vision for the living lands.
- Lodwyn is right – the empire must change. Taking the Living Lands will ensure it does.
- Doing so will unlock the, “Everyone Disliked That” Trophy.
- Make your way to Lodwyn fighting through the town. Make sure to kill every enemy you come across so that you get enough XP to reach level 30.
- When speaking to Lodwyn, you need to join her. Choose options that side with her and then renounce Sapadal. Once that is done, you’ll earn the Tyranny Trophy as well as the difficulty related Trophies.
- If you just barely missed reaching level 30, you can reload the save you made just before deciding what to do with Sapadal. This time, free them and then bump the difficulty down to story. Replay the final section of the game by NOT joining the Steel Garrote. There are more enemies to kill in the final section when you do not side with the Steel Garrote as opposed to joining them. This means there is more XP to earn on the good ending than the Tyranny ending. Unfortunately, you will need to reload the point of no return save file and get more XP if the good ending method does not work for you. I entered the Garden at 322,007 XP of level 26 and missed reaching 30 on the Tyranny ending. I did the good ending method and was able to reach level 30.

Peak Performance
Reach max level.
MISSABLE
The max level is 30 and this can be a pain to get if you are not thorough throughout your playthrough. In order to reach level 30, you’re going to need to do everything possible in the game in addition to killing most of the enemies on each map. As you play through the game and travel across the maps, make sure you are killing every enemy you come across. You need to kill almost all of them. The various pieces of side content will take you across the majority of each map. All of that will need to be done to earn this Platinum anyway, so just make sure you’re killing everything you encounter in-between objectives. Enemies do not respawn and there is no free roam after the story. So you need to make sure to complete everything before crossing the point of no return, not only for every other Trophy on this list, but also for reaching level 30. The game will tell you when you reach the point of no return.
When you do reach the point of no return, you’re going to want to be very close to, or at level 27. When you do cross through the point of no return, you’ll want to be just as thorough in the Garden as you were in the other regions. Fully explore and kill all of the enemies in the Garden.
If you are going for the Tyranny ending, make a separate manual save right before deciding to free or kill Sapadal at the end of the Garden. This will be when you have to insert 2 Severed Maegfolc Arms into a machine. If you just barely missed reaching level 30 after the evil ending, you can reload the save you made just before deciding what to do with Sapadal. This time, free them and then replay the final section of the game by NOT joining the Steel Garrote. There are more enemies to kill in the final section when you do not side with the Steel Garrote as opposed to joining them. This means there is more XP to earn on the good ending than the Tyranny ending. I entered the Garden at 322,007 XP of level 26 and missed reaching 30 on the Tyranny ending. I did the good ending method and was able to reach level 30.
Unfortunately, you will need to reload the point of no return save file and get more XP if the good ending method does not work for you. You’ll have to comb through each map and clear them of enemies.

In order to get this, you will need to unlock at least level 1 of the Parry ability from the Ranger ability tree. Then, you will need to parry enemy attacks with either a shield or a melee weapon. You need to press 
just before an enemy hits you to parry them. If you don’t want to spend these points on this ability, you can make save, respec your points, unlock the ability, go get the Trophy and then reload the save.
Cooking By The Book
Cook every recipe at your Party Camp.
MISSABLE
At your camp, you can interact with the fire to cook food. You will start the game with most of the recipes already unlocked. There is only 1 recipe that needs to be found. The remaining recipes will need to be unlocked by putting 3 ability points into the Survivalist ability in the Ranger tree. If you don’t want to spend these points on this ability, you can make save, respec your points, unlock the ability, go get the Trophy and then reload the save.
Ivory Spinner – This is the only recipe you need to find. It is found in a destroyed building in Felipe’s Depression in Emerald Stair next to a pot of food.
If you cook everything and this does not pop, reload your save and then cook the food by type in the Cooking menu. Don’t go down the list of “All Recipes.” Instead, cook everything from the three lists, Cooked Meat, Beverages, Prepared Food. I don’t know why, but cooking the items from those menus seems to count toward this, whereas cooking them from “All Recipes” does not.
Historian
Collect all volumes of the History of the Living Lands in the Eothasian Temple.
MISSABLE
This Trophy is earned during the side quest, Dawntreader, in Dawnshore. You can get this quest from Ofryc. Ofryc is found outside of the Aedyran Embassy on the south side of the building in Southern Paradis. Make sure to complete the Get in the Statue, Envoy Trophy during this quest as well. Once you have the quest, you will need to find 5 books in the Temple of Eothas. This is not the objective of the quest, so don’t forget to pick these up while you’re there. You have to get all 5 before leaving the Temple of Eothas as you cannot re-enter it afterwards. These will become available to find after meeting Caedmon during the quest.

This book is to your immediate left upon entering the room up on a shelf high up above a doorway.
