Silver

20

Senu is very helpful when scouting enemy strongholds and searching for resources, so use him often.

Bronze

10

Spend time not only running around the map, but also swimming the seas and riding the various vehicles.

Bronze

10

This requires using a horse, camel, cart, chariot, and felucca. Chariots can be raced at the Hippodrome or purchased from merchants once the Chariot Owner ability is owned. “Borrow” any felucca from any waterway and take it for a ride.

Bronze

10

Smash!

Destroy 100 breakable objects.

There are numerous objects that can be busted with your weapons, such as urns, vases, and wooden benches. Watch out, as a cobra may hide inside or behind the bigger ones. Oil jars are also useful when broken open with a fire arrow, damaging hostiles in the immediate area.

Bronze

10

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Sell 100 trinkets at once.

Find trinkets inside small-value containers and sell them to vendors. Use the Animus Pulse to find all nearby container locations.

Bronze

10

Kill enemies in spectacular fashion to score the following. Be sure to take down the captains aboard the vessels found in the various waterways.

Name Description PS4 Trophy Xbox One Points

Slasher

Kill three enemies with one hit.

A long weapon, such as a heavy blade, works well for the Slasher achievement. The simplest method may be to return to Siwa at a much higher level, and head to an enemy base, such as the Temple of Amun. Run through the stronghold, getting the attention of as many guards as possible. Once surrounded, hit them with a heavy attack. This swings the axe in a circle, hitting all who stands too close.

Bronze

10

Shadow of Egypt

Kill 10 enemies in a row without being detected.

Fully scan an area with Senu and stay aware of everyone’s positions. Sneak up on one enemy at a time and stealthily take each one down. If the white detection arc appears, quickly take cover and stay away until they return to normal.

Silver

30

BOOM!

Kill 30 enemies by shooting a fire arrow at oil jars.

Fire arrow plus oil jar equals spectacular damage. Allow enemies to get close to these red jars and light them up.

Bronze

10

The Arrow Whisperer

Kill an enemy with the predator bow from more than 60 meters while controlling the arrow.

You must acquire the Enhanced Predator Bow ability in order to control the arrow. Aim for a stationary, unaware soldier at a distance and go for the head. If you go for an enemy far enough below your level, you could get a kill with an easier body shot.

Silver

20

Overdesign

Kill a poisoned Level 35+ enemy with the torch in less than 30 seconds.

Hit a Level 40 enemy with a poison dart, toss a torch on him, and quickly go in for the kill by pummeling him with another torch. Attempting at Level 40 and upgrading the bracer makes this a tad easier.

Bronze

30

Archer of the Month

Headshot kill an enemy with the bow while in the air.

The Elite Ranger ability allows the player to enter slow motion when aiming the bow in the air. Dropping from a high point gives you plenty of time to acquire a headshot on an unsuspecting foe.

Silver

20

Where’s My Black Flag?

Defeat eight ship captains.

Look for vessels in the northern seas, Lake Mareotis, and the Nile marked as points of interest or small military. Each one has a captain aboard. Board a ship and cautiously wipe out the crew, including the captain.

Bronze

30

The wildlife in the game varies greatly from the tame gazelle to the ferocious predators, such as the lion. These four awards involve handling these animals.

Name Description PS4 Trophy Xbox One Points

Circle of Life

Feed a predator with a corpse.

Kill a soldier and carry his body to any predator. It will devour the body, making for a nice distraction. Predators include hyenas, leopard, lion, or lioness.

Bronze

20

Set-up Date

Bring a tamed lion to a crocodile.

Find a lion, preferably a sleeping one, and hit it with a dart. With the animal taming ability, make it your companion. Now simply find a crocodile and let them do their thing.

Bronze

10

Run for Your Life!

Run away from three fights with a hippo.

Hippos are fairly slow animals, but beware of their charge attack, which allows them to close in on their target surprisingly quickly. They are unable to climb, so this is often the best route when fleeing from the beast.

Bronze

10

RRoooaaarrrrr!

Tame a lion.

Try to sneak up on an unsuspecting lion and hit it with a sleep dart. If alerted to your presence, it gets more difficult to get the dart into the predator.

Bronze

5

Three awards require you to become overheated in the desert, climb the highest peak, and snap a photo in 5 different territories. Earn every trophy on the PlayStation 4 to earn the platinum.

Name Description PS4 Trophy Xbox One Points

Overheating

Witness raining bugs in the desert.

Hallucinations are triggered after spending a short time in the desert. A specific hallucination involves frogs falling from the sky at the end of the vision.

Bronze

20

I Can See My House from Here!

Reach the “Top of the World” in the Black Desert territory.

Find the Ra-Hrakhty Mountaintop hermit location at the high peak in eastern Black Desert. Meditate to score an AP as well as this achievement.

Bronze

10

Reporter

Take one photo in in 5 different territories.

By clicking the two control sticks, you can snap pictures of anything that looks interesting. These photos are viewed on the map screen. Every time you enter a new territory (34 in all), take a picture.

Bronze

20

Earn Them All!

Only available on PlayStation 4; acquire all of the above trophies to score the platinum.
