This save set will get you every trophy in the game with minimal effort. I did as much progress as the game would allow before each trophy would pop. I made a mistake with the final hunting ground, when you get that trophy you must also go to Cauldron Chi and complete it in it's entirety. I thought that the story related cauldrons also counted for the trophy but I was wrong on that. Also after the embassy ambush you have to go to a rebel camp and beat it on the same save. There is a trophy for beating 4 outposts and I got that mixed up with the camps. Other than that each trophy is very easy and should pop between a few seconds and a few minutes. Most of them you just follow the quest directions on screen but I will give a breakdown for each trophy here.
