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. Skinning animals gives the materials that Smooth Operator and the manor Equipment slots (Dilettante) need — so line these hunting trophies up with your crafting run and knock out several counters at once.

Perfect Predator

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Get a perfect harpoon shot on a Great White Shark.

TypeBronze
WhereCruz (490, 303)
MissableNo
DifficultyMedium

How to earn it

Great White Sharks are harpooned from the rowboat in the Cruz region around map 490, 303. Line up the shot and release the aim just as the reticle pulses — that pulse is the perfect-shot window. One clean pulse-timed harpoon into a Great White and it pops. If you're new to harpooning, practice the timing on a smaller shark first; the input is identical.

Matador

Dodge three charge attacks by a Wild Pig.

TypeBronze
WhereCape Bonavista (152, 588)
MissableNo
DifficultyEasy

How to earn it

Wild Pigs roam Cape Bonavista at map 152, 588. Aggro one so it lowers its head and charges (the charge telegraphs with a red flash), then dodge to the side just before it reaches you. Do this three times against the same pig without killing it and the trophy pops — so dodge, don't attack, until you've counted three clean dodges.

Davy Jones' Locker

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Swim to the lowest point on the map.

TypeBronze
WhereThe Black Trench (184, 425)
MissableNo
DifficultyEasy

How to earn it

The lowest point on the map is the The Black Trench underwater shipwreck at 184, 425. Dive down through it to the very bottom and swim to the broken diving bell resting on the seabed — reaching that deepest spot triggers the trophy. Top up your air at the bubble pockets on the way down if your breath meter runs low.

This is the same spot you farm for Last To Leave, so you can line both up on one trip.

Ed the Diver

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Swim 1000m underwater total (excluding shipwrecks).

TypeBronze
Count1,000 m
MissableNo
DifficultyEasy

How to earn it

Swim 1,000 m underwater in total — and note the exclusion: distance covered inside underwater shipwrecks does not count, only open-water diving. It accumulates over the whole game, so it usually pops on its own while you hunt the Seven Deadly Seas chests and dive spots. If you want to force it, just hold dive and swim laps along any reef.

Edward Catway

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Break 50 potted plants.

TypeBronze
Count50 plants
MissableNo
DifficultyEasy

How to earn it

Smash 50 potted plants — the tall clay pots on windowsills, walls and market stalls. They're everywhere in the towns but by far the densest in Havana, so do a lap of its rooftops and streets swiping at every pot. The count carries across the whole game, so you'll be well on your way just from normal traversal.

Hungover

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Wake up in a haystack.

TypeBronze
WhereAny tavern
MissableNo
DifficultyEasy

How to earn it

Walk into a tavern (Nassau's is central and easy to reach) and keep buying drinks at the bar — around five rounds — until Edward passes out and the screen fades. He wakes up face-down in a haystack and the trophy unlocks. It's pure comic relief; just keep hitting the drink prompt.
