1. Reached the Daunt: hit continue and the trophy will pop after a few seconds. If not,
load the previous save (backup) and talk to the npc right next to you.
2. Secured Passage to the Embassy: go to the mission marker nearby and talk to the npc. The trophy will pop after the cutscene.
3. Attended the Embassy: hit continue and the trophy will pop after the 30 minutes cutscene. You should skip it.
4. Established the Base: hit continue and the trophy will pop after a few seconds. If not, load the previous save (backup) and talk to the npc right next to you.

5. Reached Level 20 + Skill Tree Learned + Unlocked 3 Weapon Techniques + Fully Upgraded a Valor Surge: just talk to the npc right in front of you to level up. After that, unlock all the skills you need for the other related skills trophies. You can also upgrade the Food Pouch for the trophy Upgraded Every Pouch Type at the workbench nearby, and your armor and weapons for the trophies Upgraded 3 Outfits and Upgraded 3 Weapons (I spend the last 20 hours farming tons of resources so youβll have more than enough to upgrade everything you need). Upgrade the rare (blue) bow I have to also unlock the Enhanced Weapon with Coils trophy by equipping 2 coils on it. Thereβs also a Tallneck nearby if you donβt want to pop First Tallneck Overridden and All Tallnecks Overridden at the same time.
6. Saved the Daunt: turn in the active mission. The trophy will pop during the cutscene. You can also go to the nearest city using fast travel and win 1 more game for the trophy Defeated Machine Strike Challengers - or use the Platinum Save (30) to get it, when you'll have more "machines" - although itβs a very easy one.
7. First Rebel Camp Completed: just go to the active quest marker nearby and press triangle to finish the mission.
8. First Core Overridden: just press R2 on the console right in front of you. You can also do 1 Vista Point nearby for the trophy Recovered 5 Different Collectables.
9. Reached Level 30 + Completed a Set of Salvage Contracts + Completed 4 Rebel Outposts: same as the save for level 20, just talk to the npc right in front of you and both level 20 and savage contracts trophies will pop. You may complete 1 more rebel outpost for its related trophy from this save until save 25 - you can do now or late in game with better weapons and the map 100% unlocked. You can also get the trophy Used Dye Flowers from Gana (dyer) in Plainsong and the Obtained All Weapon Classes trophy by buying the Shredder Gauntlet from the Hunter (Merchant) in Scalding Spear - or use the Platinum Save (30) to get this last one.

14. Discovered Faro's Fate: finish the mission and the trophy will pop after the cutscene.
15. All Tallnecks Overridden: I left the easiest one to you. Just follow the active mission marker (potential spoilers).
Also, youβre 10 minutes away from the next trophy (save 16). By getting it on this save you can skip the step 16.
16. Flew on the Wings of the Ten: checkpoint at the final part of the battle. Finish it and the trophy will pop after the cutscene. You can lower the difficulty if you want.
17. Discovered Nemesis: the final boss is down, just walk a few meters towards the active mission marker to finish the story. The trophy will pop after the credits. You can skip all cutscenes to save time.
18. All Cores Overridden: just press R2 on the console right in front of you.
19. Completed 3 Relic Ruins: follow a video to get the 3rd relic. The path is already unlocked. Or you can use the Sunwing to reach the top.
20. Obtained 3 Stripes at a Hunting Ground + Completed Arena Challenge Set: the last hunting challenge has already been done, just talk to the groundskeeper right in front of you to collect your reward (QUICKSAVE4 - 10:30 PM) and complete the last arena challenge of the first set (AUTOSAVE3 - 10:35 PM). Both can be easily completed under 1 minute on History difficulty.
21. All Machine Types Scanned: you have two choices to get this trophy. You can either select the next challenge in the Arena or go to the Incinerator spot nearby to scan this last machine. By killing it the trophy All Combat Machines Killed will also pop if you still donβt have it. You may use the explosive spear on History difficulty to hit kill everything.
22. Defeated the Enduring: win the duel against the woman right in front of you and the trophy will pop when the cutscene starts.
23. Chose a Desert Commander: just finish the mission. No matter which side you pick.
24. Reached Level 50 + Completed 2 Flying Mount Quests: I managed to have 48999/49999 xp, you just need 1 more xp to level 50 on (QUICKSAVE2 - 08:08 PM). You can kill a machine, kill a bird, turn down a quest or whatever you want to get a nice print, in case this is your only trophy left to the platinum. If you complete the active mission, the trophy Completed 2 Flying Mount Quests will also pop, itβs near the very end. Or you can resign the other file (QUICKSAVE1 - 08:16 PM) on this same save and just talk to the npc to finish it. This is also the last opportunity for the trophy Won 2 Gauntlet Races by winning the next race.
25. Obtained 3 Stripes at All Hunting Grounds: same as save 20, the last hunting challenge has already been done, just talk to the groundskeeper right in front of you to collect your reward.
26. Recovered Alva's Data: just press triangle to interact with the console right in from of you and the trophy will pop after the short dialogue.

28. Aided Kotallo: just hit continue and the trophy will pop after the cutscene. You can either do nothing or press square to skip it.
29. Defeated Asera: just press triangle to talk to Elrend. The trophy will pop after the short cutscene.
30. Platinum Save: the remaining trophies can be obtained by doing 1 more of each requirement using this 100% save (this method was tested twice by myself as of Patch 1.09 in March 2022), which are:
All Recon Machines Killed
All Transport Machines Killed
All Acquisition Machines Killed
All Combat Machines Killed
10 Types of Machine Overridden
Rode All Regular Mounts
Tore off 100 Components
Used all Elemental States
Performed 3 Melee Combos

Use this save for the PS5 auto-pop.
βΊ You can resign almost all saves simultaneously, but I separated them in individual folders to simplify things.
