Congratulations, you have collected all the trophies and passed the Trial of the Grasses!

See Walked the Path.

See Walked the Path.

This is the hardest difficulty available. One of the biggest changes from this difficulty from the others, is your vitality does not regenerate when you meditate. It does regenerate at a very slow rate on its own, but you are much better off to use any consumables to help speed up the process as you'll be waiting forever. There are a few skill points you should invest in:

• Sun and Stars - Increases the Vitality regeneration rate during the day and Stamina regeneration during the night.
• Survival Instinct - Increases Vitality by 500 points.

All other skill points are up to your play style and how you want to build them. Any build works, but if you want to be cheap and basically become invulnerable, here's what you should invest in and max out:

• Muscle Memory - Increases fast attack damage +5% and adrenaline point gain +1% each level.
• Arrow Deflection - Deflect arrows while parrying. Adrenaline Point gain: +1% each level.
• Rage Management - If your current Stamina level is too low, Signs can be cast using Adrenaline Points.

This set up will basically allow you to constantly cast Quen, so you will always be able to absorb a blow to you and you'll practically never take any damage just as long as you remember to cast it.

Here are some other tips to help you through Death March:

• Loot everything - You get money, crafting materials, schematics....everything!
• Dodge, parry, use oils and potions - If you do not prepare and try to face roll everything, you're going to have a bad time during battle. It's easy enough to look up the monsters to see their weaknesses. Use it to your advantage.
• Explore - This is how you find good things to loot, plus some additional side quests that won't show up on your map for extra experience.
• Complete the Witcher Gear Sets - Well worth it, the best gear you can get. Each set is geared towards a different tree:
  • Feline Set (Light) = Combat
  • Griffin Set (Medium) = Signs
  • Ursine (Heavy) = Defense
  • Wolf (Medium) = Balance of all 3 (DLC only)
• Get the skill for your Gear Set - Whichever set you go with, get the skill to go with it in the General Tree.

Once you get the hang of the combat system and you get a feel for the way you play, it is not that hard. Just follow the tips above and you should do fine. Once you complete the final main quest, "Something Ends, Something Begins", the trophy will unlock.

You will need to obtain all the skills in one tree. You do NOT need to upgrade each skill to max for this, just each skill needs at least one point in it. There are a total of four different trees: Combat (20 skills), Signs (20 skills), Alchemy (20 skills), and General (15 skills).

Of course the easiest way to go about obtaining this is when you reach Novigrad, there is a merchant that sells Potion of Clearance that will reset your skill points for 1,000G. He is located next to the barber by the St. Gregory's Bridge fast travel point. Save before you buy it and then purchase the potion, reset your skills, invest them all in the General tree to get the trophy and then reload your save.

You will need to unlock the "Puppet" skill from the Sign tree and equip it in your skills. This is one of the best Signs to use in Death March difficulty, as it makes your opponents fight each other.

Once you have it equipped, find a group of enemies and weaken one enemy, then cast the alternative Axii sign (hold for a split second and release instead of tapping) on the other enemy. Keep casting it until you have made an opponent kill another opponent 20 times, at which point, the trophy will unlock.

A great place to earn this is in the Bandit Camp at the Devil's Pit fast travel point in Velen. There's a huge Bandit Camp here. Lure some bandits towards a ledge, preferably the one shown in the video below where you enter the camp. Block or counter their attacks to push them to the edge, then immediately use the Aard sign to knock them down the hill. Kill the enemies with two-handed weapons / axes with your sword, rather than the Aard sign. Their attacks cannot be countered and they don't usually fall off the ledge, so they are only in your way. Once all enemies are dead you fast travel to the Royal Palace of Vizima map and return to the Devil's Pit. All bandits should have respawned and you can try again. You should be able to get 4-6 kills per run.

You don't have to buy any skill upgrades to do this, but they can help a little bit:

There are plenty of opportunities to obtain this trophy throughout the game. Igniting swamp gas, blowing up explosive barrels near opponents (and hope they die), destroy a bees nest near damaged enemies, or cast Aard on your opponents and knock them down, then walk up towards them and press while they are on their back for an instant kill, which will count. We found this the easiest method to obtain the trophy. This also works especially well on any bandit that you come across that is riding a horse, as they instantly fall on their back when blown off.

If you are to use any of the environmental objects, be sure you damage your opponents first, so that they actually die when you use the objects to try and kill them. After you get 50 kills due to using the environment, the trophy will unlock.

You will also get lots of environmental kills automatically during the Battle of Kaer Morhen. There are meteorites falling from the sky and barrels exploding without you doing anything. You will get the majority of required kills automatically during the battle. If you are lucky the trophy will unlock during the Battle of Kaer Morhen. If it doesn't, then you don't have many kills left. It's recommended to wait with farming the kills until after the battle.

This works best against human city guards with swords. Archers are also perfect as they always carry a sword. Look for a single city guard and counter 10 attacks in a row. You must press the block-button () just before the enemy is about to hit you. Always press the block-button when the enemy has his sword vertically in the air above his head (a fraction of a second after he starts swinging the sword and a fraction of a second before he hits you). Your timing needs to be perfect and it's going to take a few tries to complete.

The best place to do this is by the river, North of the Woesong Bridge fast travel point on the White Orchard map (first town you enter in the game). There's a friendly archer here. Attack him to start the fight. Doing so against friendly guards is great as they will only knock you out and not kill you. So if you mess up you will respawn right in front of the archer without any loading times and can keep trying. Getting knocked out will cost you money, so make a backup beforehand.

A great place to do this is at the Hanged Man's Tree Fast Travel Point on the Velen Map. That's the point in the middle of the map where you enter Velen for the very first time. Near the fast travel point, there's a pack of level 1 wolves. Block their attacks until they are all in front of you, then use the Igni sign to kill them instantly.

When holding down the block-button () they cannot hurt you. If there are only a few wolves left you can take them out with some quick attacks.

Also be sure to create a save game before attempting this. In case you fail you can reload your save game and try again. You can also make the wolves respawn by fast traveling to another map (away from Velen).

First you must buy the formula for the Dragon's Dream Bomb from the Herbalist in the East of Novigrad (Herbalist’s Hut fast travel point, East of Oxenfurt). He also has the required ingredients in stock. Buy them and craft the bomb. Now look for a group of monsters or humans without armor. Use Igni on them to make them burn, then immediately throw the Dragon's Dream Bomb on the burning enemy. This will ignite the gas produced by the bomb and cause an explosion. You must repeat this 10 times for the trophy to unlock.

If you have strong alcohol in your inventory you can meditate to replenish your bombs. Fast travel to another map (e.g. Royal Palace of Vizima) to make enemies respawn, or do it against different enemies every now and then if you don't want to farm it in one spot (can also be combined nicely with destroying monster nests).

When you reach level 28, you will have all four mutagen slots unlocked. By that time, you should have amassed more than enough mutagens from defeating monsters to fill all four slots. Equip any four mutagens in each slot and the trophy will unlock.

A great place to earn this, is at the Hanged Man's Tree Fast Travel Point on the Velen Map. That's the point in the middle of the map where you enter Velen for the very first time. Near the fast travel point there's a pack of level 1 wolves. Block their attacks until they are all in front of you, then use the Igni sign to kill them instantly. When holding down the block-button they cannot hurt you.

Also be sure to create a save game before trying this. In case you fail you can reload your save game and try again. You can also make the wolves respawn by fast traveling to another map (away from Velen).

To fight Olaf you must first complete the other 3 fistfights on The Skellige Isles. The first one is in Kaer Trolde Harbor (town in the North of main island), the second in Arinbjorn (far West on the main island) and the third in Harviken (small island in the South-East of the map). The fight against Olaf then takes place on Urialla Harbor (small island in the North of the map). Go to the arena to start the fight. Now dodge Olaf's attacks and throw 2-3 heavy punches at him before you dodge again. The trophy will unlock when you finish the dialogue after the fight.

A good method on earning this trophy is to use Broadhead Bolts (bleeding), Devil's Puffball Bombs (poisoning) ,and Dancing Star Bombs (burning). The Broadhead Bolts are available at most blacksmiths and have a 100% bleeding chance (each shot will always make enemies bleed for 15 seconds). The Devil's Puffball creates a poison cloud and the enemy must be standing inside the cloud to receive poison damage. The Dancing Star Bomb does burning damage and has a much higher chance of burning enemies than Igni (but it's possible with Igni, especially when you fully upgrade it). The two bomb formulae can be purchased at the Herbalist's Hut in Novigrad.

Once you have all these things head to the Devil's Pit Bandit Camp in Velen. Be sure to set the difficulty to Death March, otherwise they will die too quickly. Start by shooting the broadhead bolt, followed by the Devil's Puffball and then the Dancing Star Bomb. Stay very close to enemies so that they cannot run away from the poison cloud. The three effects must be active on one enemy at the same time. Repeat this 10 times. You can meditate to replenish your bombs. Fast travel to another map to make the bandits respawn.

You can also do this against most other human enemies, animals and several monster types. Some enemies are resistant to some of the three required effects, so not all enemies will work! Bandits, Bears, Wolves, Cyclopes and anything else without armor works best.

You will obtain the crossbow towards the end of the prologue. It is best to do this on the easiest difficulty, so you can save it for after you complete the main quest and obtained the trophy by beating the game on Death March.

You will need to kill 50 opponents with headshots using the crossbow. The best place to grind this out is the Devil's Pit Bandit Camp in Velen. Kill every bandit in the area and fast travel to another region and then return. As long as you have not looted the chests around the area, they will respawn. Keep repeating this until you have killed 50 and unlocked the trophy.

It is best if you obtain and max out the skills: Lightning Reflexes and Anatomical Knowledge in the Combat Tree, and Steady Shot in the General Tree. You should also unequip your swords, as you will do more damage with your crossbow without them. You will also know if you successfully obtained a headshot kill by the vibration of the controller and the shaky screen.

*Missable Trophy*
You must kill two contracted monsters without using any Signs, potions, oils, bombs, or having any mutagens equipped. We found the two that the easiest were the first two that you could complete: Devil by the Well and the Griffin from the main quest line, both are completed in the Prologue in White Orchard.

If one of these does not suit you, you can do this for any two of the 26 contracts available. Take a look at the Geralt: The Professional trophy to find which monster suits you best for this attempt.

You'll unlock this naturally through your playthrough while exploring the world and completing quests. Each signpost you unlock will count towards the total. After discovering 100 of them, the trophy will unlock.

It's recommended you do this on Skellige as it has the fewest monster nests, making it the quickest way to earn this trophy (Velen/Novigrad has over 20).

4 of the Skellige Monster Nests are on the main island (Ard Skellig) and 1 on the northern island (An Skellig). You must have destructive bombs in your inventory to destroy the nests (e.g. Grapeshot, Dancing Star Bomb). Bombs can be crafted using alchemy and replenished using strong alcohol while meditating. Monster nests will be shown as question marks on the map after interacting with all quest boards of that region. For a quick overview of their locations see the video below:

*Missable Trophy*
There are a total of 195 cards, but you only need to collect the base 120 cards, as there are 75 duplicates in all. 11 of them are missable. You start out with a decent amount of cards, but you will need to: buy some from merchants or innkeepers, win them, get them from Gwent Quest (5 in total), or acquire them from side quests. Use these interactive maps HERE, which will show you the locations of all of the playable merchants.

Here's a list of the quests for the missable cards you'll want to watch out for:

• A Matter of Life & Death
  • Location: Act 1, Noivigrad
  • Cards Obtained: Dandelion, Milva, Vampire: Bruxia
  *Note* When at the ball with Triss, you will notice a "!" on the mini map while in the garden area. You will want to complete in the Gwent game they have going and win against all three opponents.
   
• A Dangerous Game
  • Location: Act 1, Noivigrad
  • Cards Obtained: John Natalis, Fringilla Vigo, Isengrim Faoiltiarna
  *Note* Make sure when completing this quest when asked by Zoltan, that you want the cards as a reward and NOT the gold.
   
• High Stakes
  • Location: Novigrad
  • Cards Obtained: The Steel-Forged, The Relentless, Queen of Dol Blathanna, Destroyer of Worlds
  *Note* See Gwent Master for more information.

The other missable card is Zoltan Chivay, which can be found in White Orchard. You win it from the Scholar in the White Orchard tavern. Make sure you do this before you finish up the main quest in that area, or you WILL lose your opportunity, as he leaves.

We recommend to check out this detailed guide HERE for help with collecting the cards you need, as well as the missable ones you should watch out for.

Below is also a created checklist from a user on reddit that I have slightly altered, which you can use to help keep track of what cards you have, and which ones you still need: Gwent Card Checklist. We have marked the missable cards in red.

*Missable Trophy*
Be sure to create a save game between each match and before starting the tournament. If your deck is too weak and you lose a match it will fail the quest. The only way to retry is to load an older save game.

First you must build a very strong deck of Gwent Cards and then go to the Passiflora (brothel) in the North of Novigrad. Here you can talk to a person in the back of the Passiflora with a side quest marker. Pay the 1000 Crowns fee to participate and the "High Stakes" side quest will start. You must defeat 4 very strong Gwent players to finish the quest.

You can win with any deck, but the Northern Realms deck is highly recommended due to its many spy cards. You may want to wait and work towards the Card Collector trophy first before attempting this. Below are the locations of some very good Gwent cards (they are also used in the video guide):

Recommended Deck: Northern Realms, total of 22 Unit cards and 5 Special Cards

3x Commander's Horn (buy from merchants at Passiflora, Velen Inn at the Crossroads, Oxenfurt Alchemy Inn)
2x Scorch (buy from merchants at Kaer Trolde Inn, Oxenfurt Alchemy Inn)
1x Geralt of Rivia (Gwent: Old Friends, from Thaler)
1x Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon (Gwent: Big City Players, from merchant in the woods)
1x Yennefer of Vengerberg (Gwent: Playing Inkeeps, from Oxenfurt innkeeper)
1x Vesemir (Gwent: Big City Players, from Vivaldi banker)
1x Zoltan Chivay (randomly earned, can be replaced with any other card)
1x Dandelion (Side Quest: A Matter of Life and Death, win match at masquerade ball)
1x Mysterious Elf (Gwent: Skellige Style, from Alchemist after doing his side quest)
1x Vernon Roche (Gwent: Velen Players, beat the player in Midcopse)
1x John Natalis (Side Quest: A Dangerous Game)
1x Esterad Thyssen (Gwent: Big City Players, from Dijkstra)
1x Catapult (buy from merchant at Passiflora)
1x Dethmold (automatically in your deck from the beginning of the game)
2x Trebuchet (automatically in your deck from the beginning of the game)
1x Ballista (automatically in your deck from the beginning of the game)
1x Ves (automatically in your deck from the beginning of the game)
1x Prince Stennis (automatically in your deck from the beginning of the game)
1x Dun Banner Medic (automatically in your deck from the beginning of the game)
1x Sigismund Dijkstra (Gwent: Velen Players, from Bloody Baron at Crow's Perch)
2x Blue Stripes Commando (buy from merchants at Crow's Perch and Midcopse)
1x Thaler (buy from Arinbjorn innkeeper in Skellige)

The must-have / most important cards are: Geralt of Rivia, Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon, Yennefer of Vengerberg, Mysterious Elf, Dun Banner Medic, Thaler, Commander's Horn.

Strategies:

- Always play your spy cards first. Yes, they will add some points to your opponent's score, but you can draw 2 more cards. Don't be afraid to lose the first round if it means you will have 14 cards and your opponent only has 8 cards left. This guarantees a certain win, as your enemy will not have enough cards to keep up with you.

- Keep your deck to the minimum of 22 unit cards and throw out as many special cards as possible. This increases the chance of drawing only your best cards. Keep some Commander's Horn cards.

- The final player uses a Monster deck which focuses almost entirely on Close Combat. Be sure to have 2 Biting Frost cards and some Scorch Cards in your deck. As long as you can play a Biting Frost card your opponent won't stand a chance.

There are a few different ways you can collect and learn formulas. You can find them in chests, buy them from merchants, or get them as a reward from quests. Without trying, you will come across more than enough formulas in your playthrough to earn this trophy.

You can simply buy 6 bomb formulae from a herbalist. There's one at the "Herbalist's Hut" fast travel point in the south-east of Novigrad (near Oxenfurt). He offers 8 different bomb formulae. This will cost you around 2000 crowns. You can simply create a backup save before doing this and sell all your crafting materials / alchemy ingredients to the merchant, then buy the formulae with the money. Reload your save game to get the money back.

There is a ton of reading material for you to get this trophy. Any books, notes, journals, or any other documents that can be found scattered about will count towards this. Simply go into your inventory when you pick them up and open them. You do not have to actually read them or have them open for an extended amount of time, just opening them will count towards the trophy. You can also read any notices that might be posted around towns or villages.

In order to earn this trophy, you must find all weapons and armor pieces of a witcher set, craft and equip them. There are 3 sets that are eligible for this: Griffin Set (6 pieces), Feline Set (7 pieces), Ursine Set (7 pieces). The Serpentine Set does not unlock the trophy as it doesn’t have armor pieces.

The Griffin Witcher Gear Set is recommended as it has the fewest pieces and the lowest level requirements. It’s found in Velen. Finding the first piece will trigger the side quest “Scavenger Hunt: Griffin School Gear”, which will lead you to the other pieces. Once you’ve found all 6 pieces go craft them at the Armorer and Blacksmith in Oxenfurt (big town in the East of Novigrad). To get the required materials you should loot all monsters you kill during story missions and side quests. Some materials need to be crafted from other components. The basic materials to craft more valuable materials that can be bought from armorers/blacksmiths. You can also dismantle your equipment to get required parts. For example to get Monster Eyes you can dismantle Drowner Eyes, Nekker Eyes, Cylcops Eyes etc. If you are unsure about a material, then just browse through your items and see what you get for dismantling them.

After equipping all 6 pieces the trophy will unlock.

You can view the full Playlist of all Witcher Gear Sets and their upgrades HERE.

This is best done in White Orchard (starting area). Places of Power are ritual stones hidden in the woods of this map. They can also be found in Velen, Novigrad, Skellige and Kaer Morhen. Interact with the quest board in White Orchard to reveal their locations as question marks on the map.

Activating the places of power will earn you a skill point, and give you a significant boost for one of your signs. You have 5 signs, so you will need to activate the 5 corresponding stones. One for each sign. The catch is that the effect only stays active for 30 minutes. That means you have to activate all stones in quick succession. Luckily, there's more than enough time that you can make use of fast travel if you wish.

*Missable Trophy*
There are 14 fistfights that you must win to unlock the Brawl Master trophy. After winning a fight you will receive a fistfighting questline for that region. You can then track this side quest to see the next fight highlighted on the map. It does not matter in what order you do the first 3 fights of each map. But the fourth fight (champion) is only unlocked after the other 3 fighters have been defeated.

The fights get increasingly harder with every map. If you have too much trouble, then lower the difficulty (make a backup save if your doing Death March) in the game options. The basic strategy for every fight is to counter (or dodge) an opponent’s attack, then use 3 quick strikes to hurt him.

The fights will become available after completing the "Bloody Baron" main story quest in Velen. Just walk up to the Bookie to start fighting. If you lose a fight you can replay it by talking to the Bookie again (or load last checkpoint). Unlocking the very last fight requires you to complete a side quest to get rid off a wraith that haunts the arena. Let the wraith defeat you in combat and talk to the guards in the watchtower near the arena to unlock the last fight. If you die or lose against the champion of champions you need to reload the last save game to try again.

*Missable Trophy*
There are 11 horse races that you need to win. 3 in Velen, 4 in Novigrad, 4 in Skellige. It's recommended that you complete them in the order shown in this video guide as some races can only be played if you won certain other races already. The races in Velen are all at the same location and the track is the exact same. There’s a note for them on the quest board in Crow’s Perch which will lead you to the races (if it’s not available to you then keep playing the story for a bit). The first 3 of Novigrad are also in the same place, at the Vegelbud residence (complete “Get Junior” Main quest to unlock). Keep talking to the quest giver to ride against the other opponents. After winning the 3 Vegelbud races someone will talk to you and give you a note that you must read. This will bring you to the final Novigrad race. If you lose it, you cannot repeat it! Make a backup save before this race, or reload your latest auto save to avoid missing out. Also, Race: Crows Perch is missable if you go to the Isle of the Mist before completing it.

The ones on Skellige all have their own unique location. See the video guide below for all their starting points:

Level 35 will require 54,000XP in total. You gain experience from quests, special conversation choices, and defeating enemies. You gain little experience by defeating enemies or by conversation choices in comparison by quests, so your best bet is doing quests.

If you go for all of the other trophies, complete all 26 witcher contracts and participate in side quests and map exploration, you should reach level 35 by the time you finish the final story mission. The last story missions also give a lot of XP and you will be able to get several level-ups within just a few hours (1000XP+ per mission). Liberating abandoned sites in the open world also grants decent XP bonuses. Just do everything available to you and you will get to level 35 naturally.

You will get this easily enough while progressing through the game. Nests can be found in every area, by exploring the map where you see a "?" and eventually you will uncover a monster nest that will be represented by a "dragon's head" icon.

Clear out the monsters around the nest and then use a bomb (Grapeshot or Samum) to destroy the nest. The Grapeshot is your best bet as it is the easiest to craft, using 2 Saltpeter and 1 Calciumequum. After destroying 10 monster nests, the trophy will unlock.

*Missable Trophy*
You can find a fistfight at the "Inn at the Crossroads" fast travel point on the Velen map. Go into the inn and there will be some men fighting in the corner. Talk to them to participate. When the fight starts you must immediately hold down the block-button. After blocking your opponent's strikes you use strong attacks to break his defense and take them out.

If there’s nobody in this inn then you must keep playing the story for a bit and return later. See Brawl Master for all fistfights. You can also earn this from fistfights during story missions or side quests. Just be careful, as there is a limited amount of fights that you can participate in. That is why this trophy is missable, so make sure you do a backup save in case you don't get this.

There is a total of 17 (31 if you count multiples) different neutral cards. You only need to win one round, not the game. Here is a list of all the neutral cards:

• Biting Frost
• Clear Weather
• Commander's Horn
• Deocy
• Impenetrable Fog
• Scorch
• Torrential Rain
• Avallac'h
• Cirillia Fiona Elen Rianno
• Dandelion
• Emiel Regis Rohellec Terzieff
• Geralt of Rivia
• Triss Merigold
• Vesemir
• Villentretenmerth
• Yennefer of Vengerberg
• Zoltan Chivay

The easiest way to do this, is to lose your first round and then your opponent will barely play and reserve their cards and pass. This gives you the opportunity to use a few neutral cards and win the round.

In order to earn this trophy, you will need to obtain hero cards first. You can do this by completing Gwent Quests, which will net you hero cards. Keep in mind that you can only use one faction of cards along with the neutral cards, so you must have three hero cards between the two and they must also be in your hand when you play. Put the minimum amount of cards in your deck to play and make sure to stack it with the special cards. Redraw two cards if needed when starting a game. If you do not have three hero cards in your deck, forfeit the match and try again until you do so. When you have three in your hand, you will need to play all three in one round for it to count, and then you need to win the match.

You will need to have the "Arrow Deflection" skill leveled up fully under the Combat category. Any person with a bow will do. You can beat them down so they have a little health left to make it easier. Once they fire the arrow, press before it hits you and it should deflect it back at them and kill them if they are at low enough health. Kill 3 different people this way for the trophy.

You will need the skill "Acquired Tolerance" under the Alchemy tree maxed out for this. You will also want to have these 7 potions, which all should be at the superior level:

• Black Blood
• Blizzard
• Cat
• Full Moon
• Golden Oriole
• Petri's Philter
• Tawny Owl

With these maxed out in the superior level and having "Acquired Tolerance" at max level, you will be able to drink all seven of these potions to unlock the trophy.

There are 8 different campsites you will need to clear and loot. Make sure you kill ALL of the fallen knights located at these campsites and loot the main chest. You can tell which one is the main chest by using your Witcher senses to see which chest is red. Looting it will also turn the map marker grey. It is possible that the trophy may pop before you take out all 8 camps.

Here is the location of all 8 camps:

 

1. Straight north of the "Upper Mill".
2. North of the Zuetzer Castle fast-travel post.
3. Southeast of the Zuetzer Caslte fast-travel post.
4. Southeast of Est Taiyar fast-travel post.
5. West of Erde fast-travel post (Had two enemies spawn after clearing the camp, so watch for that).
6. Northwest of Sarrasin Grange fast-travel post.
7. Northeast of the Bowdon fast-travel post.
8. East of the previous camp.

**Glitched**
If it glitches on you, the best known method is to start the DLC as a standalone and do not talk to the Ofieri merchant. Instead, go and get the diagram from the Zuetzer Castle and then follow the quest until completion.

You can collect the Ofieri armor set during the quest "From Ofieri's Distant Shores", which will have you find the four diagrams that you will need to have translated by an Ofieri merchant in Upper Mill. You can also buy a sword from the same merchant or a diagram for the sword along with the Crossbow. The horse saddle can be won by racing the Ofieri merchant and the horse blinders and saddlebags can be bought from his shop.

You will need to craft the armor, which the female armorer in Crow's Perch is the only one who is able to do so, and the elf blacksmith in Novigrad can forge the sword if needed. Once you have all the physical items, the trophy will unlock.

I would suggest using the Northern Realms deck for this attempt as how many spy cards you can get and also all the different cards that multiply off each other. Also I would switch the Gwent difficulty to Easy in the options under gameplay if you haven't already.

Go to any NPC who plays Gwent and face them. There are different ways to go about this, but I just kept forfeiting until I had a decent amount of spy cards on me and then used them all to get the extra cards and then passed. During the next hand I laid them all out to get 188 with a few cards to spare. Make sure you have at least one commander's horn and use Foltest The Siegemaster as your leader for another free one on your siege line. Make sure you also have the cards that multiply off each other too. Just keep trying until you get it, it took me a few attempts to start out with the cards I needed.

Story related, cannot be missed.

Check a noticeboard in Velen, where you will find a note directed towards Geralt. Anna Henrietta requests your skills to take out a terrible monster in Toussaint. You are to meet her servants in the village of Holloway. Go to the Holloway Inn and defeat the bandits then once agree to go with them and you will be on your way to Toussaint.

Story related but can be missed! Make sure to make a backup save at the main quest "The Night of Long Fangs".

This can be accomplished in two ways. One is during the quest of "The Night of Long Fangs" where you need to make a choice to either find the Unseen Elder or find where Syanna is being kept. Choosing to find the Unseen Elder, you can just go through doing the quest until the end. If you choose to find where Syanna is, you will come across a quest "Beyond Hill and Dale". During this quest you will have the option to speak to the Little Flint Girl. Do so and get the ribbon from her and then finish out the story. Either way, after you beat the game, you will be decorated by the duchess and the trophy will be yours.

Story related but can be missed! Make sure to make a backup save at the main quest "The Night of Long Fangs".

During the quest of "The Night of Long Fangs" where you need to make a choice to either find the Unseen Elder or find where Syanna is being kept, make sure you pick to find Syanna. While completing the quest "Beyond Hill and Dale", don't speak to Little Flint Girl and do not obtain the ribbon. Once you have completely ignored the Little Flint Girl, complete the quest and finish the story.

You will get this from the quest "The Warble of a Smitten Knight", which you will obtain when you reach the Tourney Grounds. You have the option if you want to train before you go through the tourney or not, it's entirely up to you. None of the three challenges are difficult. What you do between the challenges does not matter for the trophy.

You will do the shooting first, then racing and the duelling last. You don't need to have a "flawless" victory in each category, you just need to win all three and then defeat the champion at the end. If you lose any of the competitions, then you won't get the trophy.

MISSABLE

This is part of the quest "There Can Be Only One". You will have to prove yourself in the 5 different virtues: Generosity, Valor, Compassion, Honor and Wisdom. You will prove this by doing quests throughout this game. It doesn't matter when you start this quest, as it will count any of the corresponding quests that you may have already completed. It is possible depending on your choice in certain quests, that you may not fulfil the 5 different virtues, causing you to miss out on the trophy, though you have multiple chances to fulfil the requirements needed for each one.

I had already completed 4 of the five once I started this quest and only had Wisdom left. Keep these virtues in mind when doing quests and think about the choices and how these virtues may fit in. Once you have completed the quests, you will have to prove your worthy in combat on top of the water, in which you will have to fight the hermit. Beat him and the sword is yours...again.
