Introduction:

Werewolf The Apocalypse - Earthblood is a rather easy and short game but with many collectibles that are highly missable due to no chapter selection. The majority of the trophies will come from completing the story and performing specific actions in combat which will not cause any trouble. The collectible trophies however will require you to be very careful as you don't want to miss any of the 134 spirits to collect as there is no chapter select so if you finish a mission and happen to have missed a collectible, you have no other choice but to restart the whole game. There are also 6 side missions and they're also very missable but if you play on the PS5 version the trophy should unlock after completing only one of them.

Walkthrough:

Step 1: Play the main and side missions until you get the Family Reunion trophy, while collecting every Spirit and Story and working on the combat trophies

Simply play the game and follow the objectives/missions that are given to you, while collecting every Spirit and Stories. You only need 30 Stories and there are more than that, but it is very important that you collect all 134 Spirits because if you miss one of them, you cannot replay the missions and you'll have to restart from the beginning. Follow the video under Spirits Guardian

.

You should work on the combat trophies during the story, they're all pretty simple so focus on one until you're done with it and then move to the next one. You'll get them done way before finishing the story.

You should also focus on Warrior of Gaia

to not miss any side mission and on Protect the herd

as it's easily done in the first mission.

Also, when looking for collectibles, make sure to pick up some flasks because you'll need to drink 10 of them during the game. There's way more than that, and the last mission has a lot of them so don't worry too much about it but make sure to pick them up when you see one of them.

After getting the Family Reunion

, make a backup save on a USB Drive or the PS Plus Save File Cloud, because you'll have a choice to make after that to unlock one of the ending and if you reload your save after finishing the game, you'll have to replay the whole mission so making a backup save here saves some time.

Step 2: After getting the Family Reunion make a back up save to complete both endings quickly

After getting the Family Reunion

, make a backup save on a USB Drive or the PS Plus Save File Cloud, because you'll have a choice to make after that to unlock one of the ending, and if you reload your save after finishing the game, you'll have to replay the whole mission so making a backup save here saves some time. Choose an ending and finish the game. Then reload your backup save and finish the game with the other ending.

Step 3: If needed, restart the last mission to finish your combat trophies

If for some reason you still have some combat related trophies to do, reload the save after finishing the game (or your backup save) and choose to restart the mission in the pause menu. Then you'll be able to fight enemies again and finish your trophies.

Spirit of the Fray

Kill 5 enemies with one attack
This is pretty much unmissable, during your playthrough you will face dozens of enemies and if playing on easy you don't even need to be overpowered to kill them in one hit. Simply let 5 or more enemies come at you and attack them with to deal a lot of damage.
I hate Exos

Kill 3 Exos
Exos will start to appear in the second mission, they are enemies literally in exoskeleton suits so they're very recognizable. There will be dozens of them through the game so unless you sneak past all of the combat areas you should get this early on in the game.
Unstoppable

Execute 5 enemies during a fight
To execute enemies, you need to grab them first with and then execute them with . You don't actually have to execute all 5 of them during the same fight.
Silent Strider

Perform 15 stealth kills
Before entering pretty much every hostile areas, you'll have a chance to kill a few (or all) enemies while being undetected. Move behind them and press when you're close to kill them. As soon as you get detected, you can't perform stealth kills anymore until the next hostile area.
Trick Shot

Destroy 5 cameras with the crossbow
First you need to unlock the electric arrows for your crossbow in the Talent tree. Then before entering hostile areas, check to see if there's cameras, if so shoot at them with and to disable them.
Smoking Barrels

Kill an enemy with an explosive barrel
When fighting enemies you'll sometimes notice there are red explosive barrels around you, especially in the latest missions. You can't actually grab and throw them at your enemies but you can hit them so they will explode, therefore you should wait until there are some enemies around you, then hit a barrel and you should kill at least one of the enemies with it.
Gaia’s Wrath

Kill 100 enemies
(1)
See Gaia’s Fury
Gaia’s Fury

Kill 250 enemies
Pretty much unmissable, unless you sneak past all of the hostile areas of the game without killing anyone but you shouldn't do that anyway.
Warrior of Gaia

Complete all side missions to help Gaia
(4)
MISSABLE

Note: If playing on the PS5 version and as of writing this, completing the first side mission will unlock the trophy.

There are a total of 6 side missions to complete, they'll all be available in the 2 "hubs" of the game (locations you visit in between main missions). There are 3 in the State Washington Forest "hub" during the first, second and fourth visits to that location, all given by Yfen and 3 more in the Nevada Desert "hub" in the first and second visits to that location, given by Onawa. Follow this video that shows every side mission (credits to Games of DAYNE):
Protect the herd

Complete a mission without killing civilians
(2)
Possibly GLITCHED on the PS4

This trophy should be done in the very first mission, when you need to steal the explosives. There are not a lot of civilians (scientists - there was none of them for me playing on PS5) so this should be pretty easy to avoid them. Feel free to kill any enemy but when you see an area with scientists + enemies, you should try to sneak past it.

This trophy is possibly glitched on the PS4 version so you're sure you've done it but it hasn't popped, try to delete your save file and do the first mission again.
Glib Tongue

Finish an oral confrontation with no Rage increase
(1)
MISSABLE

This is missable because there's no more dialogue in the last mission. However it's a pretty easy trophy that can be unlocked in the State Washington Forest after the 1st mission and before starting the 2nd one. You will have to infiltrate the Endron's Training Facility and you'll have to talk to a soldier at the gates. Choose to lie when he's asking for your identity, then you'll be able to pass and you'll get the trophy. You'll have more opportunities during the game but they require more dialogue choices and choosing the wrong one will increase your rage and void the trophy for that confrontation.
Short-tempered

Shift to Crinos in the middle of a dialogue
MISSABLE

This is missable because there's no more dialogue in the last mission. You'll have a few dialogue confrontation during the game, if pressing you'll be able to turn yourself into a werewolf and start a fight. Do that and you'll get the trophy.
Endurance of Heimdall

Finish a fight with less than 5% health
This one is pretty tricky as there's no sure way to know how many % of health you still have. There's a bar but no exact % or HP number so it's a bit of a guessing game, leave only one enemy during a fight (you'll know it's the last one as you'll be able to execute him with instead of grabbing him, if you can only grab him then they'll be reinforcments after he's dead) and let him shoot at you until your health bar is very very low. Now kill him, then the trophy should pop.
Athro

Unlock 10 different talents
While completing objectives and collecting Spirits, you'll unlock Spirit points which you will then be able to use to unlock Talents in the menu. Unlocking 10 different talents will pop this trophy. You should focus on the Ultimate talents first for Elder .
Knock Knock

Deactivate 5 reinforcement entries
In hostile areas, you'll notice some yellow doors. These are the reinforcement entries, you'll be able to deactivate them by interacting with the fusebox near the doors. You'll also be able to do that before or after the fight so don't worry about it.
Banecrusher

Stealth kill 2 Fomori
(1)
Fomori enemies start to appear after the 5th mission. There's no way to know which enemy is a Fomori, as they look like other enemies but will turn into monsters when starting the fight. There's a lot of them though so don't worry about it too much, simply try to stealth kill enemies after the 5th mission and you'll get this trophy soon enough.
Sledgehammer

Kill at least 3 enemies with a single Stomp
Stomp is performed by jumping with and hitting , this will cause a powerful attack on the ground that will hit all nearby enemies. When doing that against basic enemies, that should kill them in one hit but there's also a Talent that you can unlock that will increase your chance with this.
Down the hatch

Use 10 flasks
(1)
Throughout the game, you'll find some flasks that you can collect and use with , this will increase your rage a little. You can only collect 3 at the same time so you will need to drink them if you want to collect more. There are way more than 10 in the game, the mission in the Prison and also the final mission have a lot of them. Make sure to look around for these flasks when going for collectibles etc.
Spirits Friend

Collect all the Spirits in an area
See Spirits Guardian
Spirits Guardian

Collect all the Spirits
HIGHLY MISSABLE

Spirits are usually objects/plants that can be collected when first pressing to highlight them and then pressing to absorb them. There is a Talent that will highlight them from further so unlock that one first to help with this. However I recommend following very closely the collectible video to make sure not to miss any of them.

There are exactly 134 Spirits to collect and you need to collect every single one of them. This is highly missable as there is no chapter select so if you finish a mission and you have missed a Spirit, your only option is to restart the whole game (Spirits actually carry over on different playthroughs but if you miss one Spirit in the 5th mission, you'll still need to play the game from the start until the 5th mission, to collect the one you missed so be careful).

There is also no ingame tracker. If you collect Spirits and die for some reason, and the game puts you in a previous checkpoint, I recommend collecting them again. The only tracker that you can use is the % completion of the trophy only available if playing the PS5 version. For example, after colleting 50 Spirits, the % should be 37% (50/134=0.37 x100= 37). I recommend checking that before finishing every missions, but if playing on the PS4 version this is not available.

The following video will show you every one of the 134 Spirits + the 30 first Stories for Born under the Moon (credits to AchievementSquad)
Elder

Unlock one of the 4 Ultimate talents
The Ultimate talents are the ones at the bottom of the tree, you need to unlock the previous talents first so you will need at least 7 points to unlock one of them. You'll earn way more points than that by finishing missions and collecting Spirits.
Taming the wolf

Read 10 stories
See Born under the Moon
Wise Wolf

Read 20 stories
See Born under the Moon
Born under the Moon

Read 30 stories
MISSABLE

This trophy requires you to read 30 stories, which are notes that you collect during the game. There are more than 30 of them so you can miss some of them but I recommend following the collectible video under Spirits Guardian to collect the first 30 stories of the game. This video will only show the first 30 of them but again, there are more in the later missions.

Killed in action

Kill Rodko
Story related, cannot be missed.

This trophy will pop after killing Rodko during the 4th mission. Rodko will be a werewolf like you but the combat will not be much harder than against the other basic enemies.
Lost in Umbra

Kill Tank Girl
Story related, cannot be missed.

This trophy will pop between the 4th and the 5th mission, after talking to Yfen. You'll be teleported in Umbra, which is a small area and you'll have to kill Tank Girl. She will be in an exo but the combat will not be much harder than against basic enemies.
An unexpected encounter

Kill the Red Talon
Story related, cannot be missed.

This trophy will pop during the 6th mission, the Red Talon will be a werewolf enemy and he will deal silver damage so be careful with that. The combat is trickier than against random enemies but will not cause too much trouble if you bought some Talents.
Mass Exorcism

Save Onawa
Story related, cannot be missed.

This will pop between the 6th and 7th mission, after fighting Pachu'a. During this combat you'll have a few wolves to defeat, and after defeating them the boss will come down and try to heal them, this is when you should focus your attacks on him. Repeat this a few times until you beat the boss.
Two birds one stone

Kill the Black Spiral Dancers
Story related, cannot be missed.

This will pop during the 7th and final mission, you will have to beat 2 werewolves, focus on one of them until you defeat it as when one is down the other heals itself and will be enraged.
Family Reunion

Kill Aedana
Story related, cannot be missed.

This trophy will also pop during the 7th and final mission, you will have to defeat Aedana who has clearly mutated into some kind of very weird and big monster. Despite the huge size of the boss, it's pretty easy to deal with, use your different talents and your rage to deal with it quickly.
The pack survives

Save Ava
This is one of the 2 trophies related to an ending.

It's recommended to make a back up save on USB or Cloud before choosing your ending as the game as even though the game lets you reload your engame save, it will put you right after making your final decision. If you forgot to make a backup save, load your endgame save and restart the mission.

For this one, you will have to pick the Ava's ending and you will have to fight against a few waves of powerful enemies. This is definitely the hardest fight of the game but hopefully you know how to deal with it by now, and you've unlocked a few talents to help with this. The trophy will pop after finishing the mission.
This time, it’s personal

Kill Richard Wadkins
This is one of the 2 trophies related to an ending.

It's recommended to make a back up save on USB or Cloud before choosing your ending as the game as even though the game lets you reload your engame save, it will put you right after making your final decision. If you forgot to make a backup save, load your endgame save and restart the mission.

For this one you will have to fight Wadkins which is a big werewolf, as well as a few other enemies. It's actually a blessing as you can focus on these enemies to quickly fill your rage meter and unleash it against the boss, doing this will end this combat very quickly. The trophy will pop after finishing the mission.
