Hunting & Exploration

The platinum's grab-bag — six Bronze trophies for hunting wildlife, diving deep and poking at the world's quirks. Every one is a quick, one-off action you can do the moment you know it exists, and none are missable. Two of them (the harpoon shark and the dives) also hand you crafting materials and pair perfectly with the underwater collectibles.

🦈 Hunt with a purpose. Harpooning and hunting give crafting materials, and the one that matters is the Pistol Holster: level 4 (4 Bull Shark Skins, plus 2 Rabbit Pelts for level 3) is required for Gun-kata. Take the Bull Sharks while you're at the Cruz harpoon spot for Perfect Predator.

Get a perfect harpoon shot on a Great White Shark.

TypeBronze
WhereCruz (490, 303)
MissableNo
DifficultyMedium

How to earn it

Great Whites are hunted from the rowboat at the Cruz harpoon spot (490, 303). Aim, then let go just as the reticle pulses. That pulse is the perfect-shot window, and one perfect hit on a Great White pops it.

Tip

Practise the timing on smaller sharks first; it works the same way. While you're there, harpoon Bull Sharks too: you need 4 Bull Shark Skins for the level-4 Pistol Holster (Gun-kata).

Dodge three charge attacks by a Wild Pig.

MissableNo
DifficultyEasy

How to earn it

Wild pigs live on Cape Bonavista (152, 588). Anger one, wait for it to charge, and dodge at the last moment. Do it three times without killing the pig.

Tip

Keep your weapon away so you don't hit it by accident. Leave a gap between you before each charge so you have time to react.

Swim to the lowest point on the map.

TypeBronze
WhereThe Black Trench (184, 425)
MissableNo
DifficultyEasy

How to earn it

The lowest point is inside The Black Trench wreck (184, 425), available once you have the diving bell (Sequence 6, Memory 1). Swim all the way to the bottom and touch the broken diving bell on the seabed.

Tip

Refill your air at the bubble pockets on the way down. The Black Trench also has 7 chests + 1 hidden one for Seven Deadly Seas, and the Last To Leave farm is right above it, so you can knock out all three in one visit.

Swim 1000m underwater total (excluding shipwrecks).

TypeBronze
Count1,000 m
MissableNo
DifficultyEasy

How to earn it

Swim a total of 1,000 m underwater by diving (Circle) in open water. Distance swum inside underwater shipwrecks does not count. It adds up over the whole game.

Tip

It usually pops on its own while you dive for chests and swim between islands. To force it, dive off the Jackdaw somewhere open and swim laps along the seabed, surfacing for air.

Break 50 potted plants.

TypeBronze
Count50 plants
MissableNo
DifficultyEasy

How to earn it

Smash 50 potted plants with melee (R1). They sit on house fronts and balconies, and Havana has by far the most. The Great Inagua manor has a few as well.

Tip

One run along Havana's balconies and rooftops, hitting every pot you pass, gets you most of the way. It adds up over the whole game.

Wake up in a haystack.

TypeBronze

Count5+ drinks
DifficultyEasy

How to earn it

Go into any tavern and buy drinks at the bar counter until Edward passes out, which takes at least five. He wakes up in a haystack and the trophy unlocks.

Tip

The Great Inagua tavern costs only 100 to restore and is right next to your base, so it's the quickest option.
