Introduction

Welcome to the Assassin’s Creed Origins Trophy Guide! This is an easy platinum, it’s just a bit time consuming. ACO has the biggest game world from all Assassin’s Creed games to date. The open world is massive and you must complete all locations (question marks on the map). There are a few quick and easy miscellaneous combat trophies, nothing too tricky. This time, they toned down a number of traditional collectibles. There aren’t feathers or anything like that. Just 12 stone circles and 5 hermit spots but since they count as “locations” you have to complete all of them anyway.

GLITCH WARNING – OLD HABITS TROPHY:

In the main quest “Aya: Blade of the Goddess” you will briefly be playing as Aya for a story mission. If you complete any locations as her, the trophy “Old Habits” will become unobtainable. Then the only fix is to replay the entire game and complete all locations again. Please make a manual backup of your save game before starting this quest (PS4 Settings > Application Saved Data Management). The quest takes place very late into the game, close to the end of the story. In case you accidentially complete a location you can copy back the save and don’t have to replay the entire game again.
[Update: This was fixed with patch 1.0.5, completing locations as Aya no longer voids the trophy- Please update your game.]

Step 1: Play through the Story, buy Trophy-related skills, Stock up on Trinkets (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Trophy)

The first step is very simple: play through the story. After the story you can still access everything in free roam. Along the way you can tackle trophies in any order you like. Do miscellaneous trophies as you see fit or keep them until after the story.

Go for the trophy-related skills first to get them out of the way. No worries, you get enough skill points to buy everything by just reaching level 40 (the max level). The abilities needed for trophies are:

  • Dawn & Dusk
  • Sleep Darts
  • Poison Darts
  • Animal Taming
  • Enhanced Predator Bow
  • Elite Ranger
  • One Master Ability (Hunter, Warrior, Seer)

The only trophy to look out for is “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” for selling 100 trinkets at once. You better start saving up on trinkets from the beginning to avoid unnecessary grinding in the end. To see how many trinkets you have, go to the inventory and scroll down on the right side. Below the animal goods it shows your trinkets. You can have multiple copies of each trinket. Selling weapons is totally fine, just don’t sell trinkets until you have 100 of them. Even then it’s advisable to make a manual save game backup before selling them (PS4 Settings > Saved Data Management). In case the trophy doesn’t unlock you can restore the save and collect more trinkets. Trinkets can be sold at merchants by holding :down: (sell menu).

Step 2: Kill Qetesh & Resheph (The Harder They Fall Trophy)

Qetesh & Resheph are two war elephants. They are the toughest enemies in the game. You find them in the territory “Uab Nome” (marked by a white question mark on map after synchronizing the viewpoint of that region). You should be at least level 38 before fighting them. They are level 40 (the maximum level). You can put the difficulty on easy for this.

Step 3: Miscellaneous Trophies Mop-up

Mop up any miscellaneous combat trophies that you are missing. You can still do these in free roam after the story.

Step 4: Complete All Locations (Old Habits Trophy)

Locations are marked on the map via question marks after synchronizing the viewpoints of an area. You have to go to every question mark on the map and complete the activity there. The game world is really massive so this is going to take up a large chunk of time towards platinum. The last question mark is then found in the Sphynx in Giza after completing all other locations. You must collect 50 Silica from Ancient Tombs in order to complete the location in the Sphinx of Giza! The Silica aren’t hard to find, each tomb has them and there are more than 50.

Also see Assassin’s Creed Origins All Tomb Locations & Solutions.

Please note you have to finish the story first to get “Old Habits” to unlock! The trophy does not unlock until after finishing the story. If you’ve done all locations and it didn’t unlock you must finish the final story quest and it will unlock.

I’m a Legend
Be equipped with only Legendary equipment.
For this you need 2 legendary bows, 2 legendary melee weapons, 1 legendary shield, 1 legendary outfit, 1 legendary horse.

Bows / Melee Weapons / Shield:

A fast way to get legendary (yellow) weapons and shields is from Papyrus Puzzles. There are 25 of them in the open world and each one can give a piece of rare (purple) or legendary (yelllow) gear.

See Assassin’s Creed Origins Papyrus Puzzle Solutions & Locations.

You also get legendary weapons from side quests later in the game (fixed rewards). There’s also one daily quest from the Nomad’s Bazaar that gives a random legendary each day. Killing Phylakes also has a high chance for legendary drops. Always keep legendary gear and don’t sell it.

After the final story mission you unlock a special merchant in Memphis that sells Legendary Gear for 5000+ coins.

Legendary Outfit:

The easiest one to get is the Sekhmet Costume, from the side quest “Lady of Slaughter” in Lake Mareotis region. You have to do this quest anyway for the bronze trophy called “The Festival”. Legendary Outfits can also be bought randomly from weavers but they cost 5000 coins which is very expensive.

Legendary Horse:

Won in Hippodrome race and sold at stables when you have the “Backstore” skill. The easier option is to buy it from stables but it costs 5000 coins. After acquiring the Backstore skill you can buy higher quality items at vendors, this also applies to the horses at stables. Go to all stables on the map and check out all of them to find someone selling a legendary mount.
I’m Done Learning
Activate a Master ability.
There are 3 master abilities called Master Hunter, Master Warrior, Master Seer. They are on the outer edges of the skill tree. Unlock enough skills in a respective category to buy a master ability. Buying it unlocks the trophy.
Overheating
Witness raining bugs in the desert.

Run around the desert at midday to trigger hallucinations. For example, in the territory called “Great Sand Sea”. After running around for a while you get RANDOM hallucinations. One possible hallucination is the raining bugs (it’s a rare one). Just keep walking in the desert until you trigger it.
You can’t trigger hallucinations in the morning or evening. It works from midday to afternoon.
For Those About to Die…
Complete all arena events in the Krokodilopolis Arena.
The Krokodilopolis Arena is unlocked after main quest “The Crocodile’s Jaws”. It is found in territory “Faiyum Oasis”, marked as “Gladiator Arena” on the map. You visit the arena automatically during the Crocodile’s Jaws main quest, so it cannot be missed.

There are 8 events total to unlock the trophy:

  • Brothers I
  • Brothers II
  • Brothers III
  • Boss – The Brothers
  • Slaver I
  • Slaver II
  • Slaver III
  • Boss – The Slaver

The Arena Elite Events are not required for the trophy. You just need to play the default difficulty Arena Events.
Fatality!
Finish an arena boss with an Overpower Attack.
This can only be done in Gladiator Arenas. You automatically go to the Krokodilopolis Arena in main quest “The Crocodile’s Jaws” and have to participate in a few fights here. Afterwards you can replay arena boss fights as often as yu want. The Krokodilopolis Arena is found in region “Faiyum Oasis”.

There’s also a Gladiator Arena in Kyrenaika region.

Pick any boss fight from an arena. At the end of the fight you must press :r1: + :r2: for an overpower attack. This only works when your adrenaline bar is full (it fills up as you hit enemies or take damage by them). Just leave a little bit of the boss’ health left and then use this move to finish him off.
Ben-Hur
Win the first Hippodrome tournament.
The Hippodrome is found in region “Kanopos Nome” in the north of the map. You unlock it during main mission “Egypt’s Medjay”. So you’ll go there automatically during the story.

For this trophy you must win (place 1st) in the tournment “Nike’s Winged Victory”. It’s a series of 3 horse races. Each round you get points based on your position in the race. The participant with the most points (i.e. best positions) across all 3 races wins. So even if you place 4th in a round you can still win if you place 1st in the other two rounds. Completing the tutorial race does not count towards this trophy (but it’s still advisable to learn the mechanics of this mode).
Road Rage
Destroy an opponent in a Hippodrome race.
The Hippodrome is found in region “Kanopos Nome” in the north of the map. You unlock it during main mission “Egypt’s Medjay”. So you’ll go there automatically during the story.

Play a tournament at the Hippodrome (not the tutorial race), then focus on one enemy and constantly ram him throughout the match. This is done by driving next to him and press :circle: in his direction. Especially in corners you can ram into opponents quite easily.
The Harder They Fall
Defeat the war elephants Qetesh & Resheph.

The two war elephants Qetesh & Resheph are found in the region “UAB Nome”. After synchronizing the only viewpoint of this area, white question marks will show up on the map. The war elephants are at the southern-most question mark of the UAB Nome region.
You can go there anytime. However, because the elephants are level 40 it is highly recommeded that you beat the story first and reach at least level 38. If you’re lower than 38 you won’t stand a chance. You can put the difficulty on easy for this (game options).

Defeat both elephants by attacking their legs. After both have been defeated you earn the trophy.
Slasher
Kill 3 enemies with one hit.
This is very easy once you have beaten the story and are level 35+. By then you will kill any low level enemies or animals in one hit.

Look for a group of animals, ride into them on your house and strike them. It will instantly kill all 3 if they are standing close enough together. For example, there are lots of predators standing close together in the swamps of Herakleion Nome.

Alternatively, a more creative way is to knock out opponents using fists only. While they are unconscious you can pile them up and then kill them with one strike of a melee weapon.
The Arrow Whisperer
Kill an enemy with the predator bow from more than 60 meters while controlling the arrow.

For this you need the skill “Enhanced Predator Bow”. Now you can hold R2 (PS4 ) / RB (XB1) while aiming the predator bow to shoot a controllable arrow. You can steer the arrow while it flies towards the target.
Kill an enemy with this from 60 meters or further away. You can set waypoint markers to get an idea of the distance.
Words of Wisdom
Complete all hermit locations.

See Assassin’s Creed Origins All Hermit Locations.
Circle of Life
Feed a predator with a corpse.

Best place to do this is at the settlement / fast travel point “Yw Huts” in the east of Herakleion Nome territory. It’s a village in the swamps and there are always crocodiles swimming in the river near the village.
Kill an NPC (doesn’t matter if it’s a non-hostile NPC or enemy). Lure a crocodile ON LAND (important: it has to be on land, doesn’t work in water) and drop the corpse in front of the crocodile. Now quickly run away so the crocodile stops chasing after you and eats the corpse. As soon as you’re out of combat the crocodile will eat the corpse.
It also works to let the crocodiles kill you near the corpse, then they will focus on the corpse in the moments after your death which still unlocks the trophy. It’s a bit glitchy sometimes and can take a few tries. The animal AI isn’t the best and sometimes they just won’t eat the corpse.

Keep in mind: doesn’t work in water, only works with crocodiles, and you must exit combat so they eat the corpse.
Seven Farmers
Complete Side Quest “Seven Farmers”.

Seven Farmers is a level 30 quest in the region UAB nome (south-east of the map). It’s just north of the only fast travel point in that region. You should be level 30 before attempting it. The quest itself is very easy, but if you get stuck at any point you can check out the side quest guide or the video above.
The Festival
Complete Side Quest “Lady of Slaughter”.
This side quest takes place in the region “Lake Mareotis”. It’s the second region you visit in the game. When reaching this area you automatically have some quests marked in your quest log. Follow this level 7 quest line. After doing side quests “Ambush in the Temple” & “Ulterior Votive”, the quest “Lady of Slaughter” automatically starts. This quest ends in an arena fight against a boss enemy.

Because this quest line is automatically marked in your quest log it would be hard to miss.

For detailed walkthroughs, see the quest guides:
Shadow of Egypt
Kill 10 enemies in a row without being detected.
There are plenty of opportunities for this throughout the story. There are also lots of enemy camps / restricted areas that house tons of enemies (marked by red icons on the map).

You do stealth kills by sneaking up to someone from behind and pressing :triangle: or by looking at them from an elevated position and pressing :triangle: to do a jump execution. You can also use bows (preferably predator bow or hunter bow) for stealth kills. All that matters is that you stay undetected.

What I did was to travel from one enemy camp to the next at night time. I scouted the area with the eagle Senu to mark the enemies. At night most enemies will be sleeping so you can easily wipe out entire camps (sneak up to sleeping enemies and use hidden blade). With the ability “Dawn & Dusk” you can change the time of day.
Smash!
Destroy 100 breakable objects.
There are lots of breakables (vases etc.) inside tombs. You’ll have to explore all tombs for the trophy “Old Habits”. Smash vases with melee attacks for this. Plenty of them can also be found around towns, they are in many places.

There are also breakable oil jars in most enemy camps. In all likelihood this trophy will come naturally over the course of your playthrough.
I Know My Land
Defog the whole map.
Very simple: when you cross the borders into a new territory it instantly defogs that area. Just go past the border of every territory and you’ll unlock this. You don’t even have to synchronize any viewpoints.
Raider of the Lost Tomb
Complete a tomb.
See Assassin’s Creed Origins – All Tomb Locations & Solutions.

The easiest way to get this is by doing the side quest “Hideaway” in Siwa, the starting region. During this quest you visit your first tomb. The side quest gets marked automatically on the map.
I Can See My House From Here!
Reach the “Top of the World” in the Black Desert territory.

This can be done in the territory called “Black Desert”. It’s to the south of Siwa, the area where the game starts. This territory has a few high mountains. Check the map for a question mark on the tallest mountain and go to that spot. The trophy will pop when approaching the question mark location. From here you can see the entire map.
Set-up Date
Bring a tamed lion to a crocodile.

This requires the skills “Sleep Darts” & “Animal Taming”. Now use a sleep dart on a lion. While the animal sleeps you can tame it. Lead the lion to a crocodile to earn the trophy. You can use your eagle Senu to scan for animals.
You can’t tame animals that are a higher level than your own. It only works on animals beneath your level.

Lions can be found in the following territories: Sap-Meh Nome, Sapi-Res Nome, Ka-Khem Nome, Herakleion Nome.
Crocodiles are found in rivers all around the map.

The earliest opportunity is in Sapi-Meh Nome where the lions are level 12-15.
Where’s My Black Flag?
Defeat 8 Ship Captains.
Captain Ships are marked by a red icon on the map . They are found only in water. When you zoom in one the symbol it says “Restricted Area, Kill Captain 0/1”. You can also see the outlines of the ship when zooming all the way in. Usually these spawn in Lake Mareotis. Go to 8 of these symbols and kill everyone on the ship. Repeat a total of 8 times.
Reporter
Take 1 photo in 5 different territories.
You enter photo mode by pressing L3 + R3 at the same time.  Now press X to take the photo (you’ll see it saving for a few seconds).

Simply fast travel to 5 different regions and take one photo in each region. You can even take photos while controlling your eagle Senu.
Overdesign
Kill a poisoned level 35+ enemy with the torch in less than 30 seconds.

This can be done in region Kyrenaika (the north-west corner of the map). In the town of Cyrene there are level 35+ enemies walking the streets. You can find them easily with your eagle Senu.
To do the trophy you need the skill “Poison Darts”. Be sure to equip the poison darts in the gear menu afterwards. To activate them, hold :left: and throw them at an enemy (he must be level 35+). You’ll see some purple fog around the enemy, indicating that he has been poisoned. Now quickly kill him with the torch (hold :right: to pull out torch).

It’s best to wait with this until you are level 35+ yourself, this way you inflict more damage to the enemy and he dies quicker. Can still be done after the story of course.
Free as a Bird
Use the eagle for a total of 30 minutes.
This will likely unlock through natural gameplay. You have to use the eagle a lot to find mission objectives.

You can use your eagle Senu to scout areas and mark enemies and animals. You can use him by pressing :up: . You can also go afk and let him fly all over the map, then the trophy pops without you doing anything.
Triathlete
Swim for 1500m, ride for 40km and run for 10km.
Pretty much guaranteed to come through natural gameplay. It was one of my first few trophies. The game is really huge so you’ll travel a lot. Use your mount a lot to get the 40k riding distance done. Running and swimming you’ll do automatically.
Archer of the Month
Headshot kill an enemy with the bow while in the air.

Buy the “Elite Ranger” ability. It makes it so that time slows down when aiming a bow in midair. Jump down from somewhere, aim in midair and shoot an enemy in the head with an arrow. The enemy has to die from this. You are allowed to weaken the enemy beforehand so that he dies in one hit. You can do this in any restricted area / enemy camp, those have lots of enemies.

The light bow works best. It shoots very quickly and is easy to aim.
BOOM!
Kill 30 enemies by shooting a fire arrow at oil jars.
You can light your arrows on fire by approaching a fire source. Then shoot the burning arrow at an oil jar near an enemy. The fire from the jar needs to kill the enemy. This is best done in enemy camps / hideouts / fortresses. There are plenty of those and they almost always have big oil jars standing around.

There are also legendary bows that always shoot fire arrows without having to light them first. These are random drops and hard to get, but if you find such a bow it’s the easiest option.

The 30 kills are cumulative (counted across your entire playthrough), you don’t need to kill 30 enemies with one oil jar.
Rider’s Licence
Use all types of vehicle at least once.
There are the following vehicles:

  • Sailboat – Civilian Version with White Sails (found on water)
  • Sailboat – Army Version with Red Sails (found on water)
  • Rowboat – A smaller boat made of straw (found ashore rivers, a bit rarer than the other boats)
  • Military Attack Ship – You drive a naval fleet during main quest “Pompeius Magnus” so this cannot be missed. It cannot be found in the open world.
  • War Charriot – You drive it in the Hippodrome races but also automatically during main quest “The Battle of the Nile”, cannot be missed. There’s also a skill that unlocks it.
  • Oxcart – A cart pulled by oxen. They drive around Alexandria, the big town in the north of the map.

Most of these vehicles are automatically used in story missions or side quests.
Old Habits
Complete all locations.
GLITCH WARNING #1 [*FIXED WITH PATCH 1.0.5]:
In the main quest “Aya: Blade of the Goddess” you will briefly be playing as Aya for a story mission. If you complete any locations as her, the trophy “Old Habits” will become unobtainable. Then the only fix is to replay the entire game and complete all locations again or download patch 1.0.5. Please make a manual backup of your save game before starting this quest (PS4 Settings > Application Saved Data Management). The quest takes place very late into the game, close to the end of the story. In case you accidentially complete a location you can copy back the save and don’t have to replay the entire game again.GLITCH WARNING #2:
Some locations may not get marked on the map after synchronizing all viewpoints. One area most frequently affected is in Qattara Depression on the border to Siwa & Black Desert (south-west corner of the region). There’s a location with two treasures called “Hotep” and it might not be shown on the map for some players.This is the most time consuming trophy in the game. Locations are marked on the map via question marks after synchronizing the viewpoints of an area. You have to go to every question mark on the map and complete the activity there. The game world is really massive so this is going to take up a large chunk of time towards platinum. The most difficult locations to complete are tombs and papyrus puzzles. If you run into any problems with those, check the guides linked below:

There are 394 locations in total, in the base version of the game without DLC.

Patch 1.10 has added a map filter. You can now open the Map, press :up: , :up: , :up: , :up: and it will show only uncompleted locations. This makes the map less cluttered so you can see missing locations more easily.

Important: You have to finish the story first! The trophy does not unlock until after finishing the story. If you’ve done all locations and it didn’t unlock you must finish the final story quest and it will unlock.
Run For Your Life!
Run away from 3 fights with a hippo.
Hippos are found near water, for example there’s a hippo lair in the south-west of Herakleion Nome (question mark on map after syncing viewpoint). Just trigger 3 fights with hippos and run away from them each time. The region Sapi-Res Nome also has tons of them in the rivers, use your eagle Senu to locate them.
Elementary, My Dear Bayek
Solve a papyrus mystery.

See Assassin’s Creed Origins All Papyrus Puzzle Solutions & Locations.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Sell 100 trinkets at once.
It is HIGHLY recommended that you work on this trophy from the beginning. You must save up 100 trinkets. You better start saving up on trinkets from the beginning to avoid unnecessary grinding in the end. To see how many trinkets you have, go to the inventory and scroll down on the right side. Below the animal goods it shows your trinkets. You can have multiple copies of each trinket. Selling weapons is totally fine, just don’t sell trinkets until you have 100 of them. Even then it’s advisable to make a manual save game backup before selling them (PS4 Settings > Saved Data Management). In case the trophy doesn’t unlock you can restore the save and collect more trinkets. Trinkets can be sold at merchants by holding :down: (sell menu).

After doing all story missions and raiding all tombs and side quests I only had 30 trinkets (40 hours of playtime). Trinkets are mostly found by completing locations (white question marks on the map). Especially the underwater locations tend to have trinkets more frequently.

They are also found as random loot from enemy camps. Make sure you always loot enemy camps carefully and dive in seas to look for trinkets. After doing all other trophies (completed all locations and finished the story) you should have just over 100 trinkets.

In the merchant’s selling menu they are labeled as  “Sell Unnecessary Items”. Just don’t select that option until you have 100+ or it will sell all your trinkets. For the trophy you do not need 100 different trinkets, just 100 of any (duplicates are allowed).

Again, I want point out that you should back up the save game before selling (PS4 Settings > Saved Data Management).
Namaste
Use Dawn & Dusk to make time speed forward 30 times.
Dawn & Dusk is a skill from the ability menu. It costs 1 ability point to unlock. You can then hold the Touchpad to fast forward time. Hold touchpad 30 times to switch between night and day to earn the trophy.
You still need 8880…
Reach level 20.
Story-related, cannot be missed. You will automatically reach level 20 early in the game from main quests and side quests. Open world activities (completing locations, viewpoints, papyrus puzzles) also give XP. Killing enemies gives a little bit of XP, too.
Stargazer
Complete all 12 Stone Circles.

See Assassin’s Creed Origins All Stone Circle Locations.
Master Diver
Complete 15 underwater locations.
Go to areas that have big seas or rivers, for example Lake Mareotis. Sync all nearby viewpoints in the region to reveal question marks on the map. Now go to the question marks in the water. They are underwater locations, usually sunken treasure. Complete 15 of these. You will have to do these anyway for trophy “Old Habits”.
Defy Authority
Defeat a Phylakes.
Phylakes are powerful foes marked by a red helmet icon  on the map. Kill one of them and confirm the kill afterwards (press :triangle: on the corpse) to earn the trophy.
Handy Man
Craft 20 items.
For this you need to craft 20 gear upgrades. There are 50 in total.

See Assassin’s Creed Origins Crafting Materials & Upgrades.
Roooaaarrrrr!
Tame a lion.
See trophy “Set-up Date”.

  1. Thank you for this Trophy Guide & Roadmap. I followed your Guide for SOW (very easy but time consuming to complete) and just platinumed it the other day!
    Now I’ll be juggling through this, South Park, COD WII & Star Wars (when they’re released). Can’t wait for Red Dead Redemption 2 next year!

    Keep up the great work my friend, your helping hundreds or thousands of Trophy Hunters everyday by using your simple Guides. You definitely motivated me to start and play my games much more thoroughly by getting 100% on them, enjoying every single moment of it (apart from the times when you keep dying or failing lol) and finally showing of those Platinums!

    I’m also looking forward to all the videos you post on your YouTube channel! I really appreciate all the time and effort! Thanks again!

  2. On which mission you get the first steps trophy? Because it said after the prologue, but I just have fighted the level 5 mission, i’m worried it’s bugged. Can you help me @powerpyx?

    Reply

  3. You get enough skillpoints to unlock all skills right?

    I ask this be ause u say to watch out for the skills but I thought in the end you could get them all.Can you?

    Thanks

    Reply

    • Oh yes you will get plenty of skill points, more than enough to buy each skill 🙂
      Just wanted to point them out so you can prioritize them and get the trophies out of the way.

  4. Ahead of everyone else as usual, I see!

    I’m downloading the game as I write this, but I’m using a terrible connection, so it won’t
    finish until tomorrow. Hopefully you’ll be able to make an update soon in case there are
    any missable trophies.

    I think only ACII has had one of them so far, so I assume that there won’t be any this time.
    But I think we’d all breathe a little easier if we knew for certain.

    Reply

  5. This might be a stupid question, but do side quests count towards any trophies or is doing the main missions enough.

    Reply

    • Only 2 side quests (or quest lines to be exact) are needed for trophies “Seven Farmers” & “Lady of Laughter”. And technically Bayek’s Promise for finding the 12 Stone Circles.
      The rest doesn’t matter for trophies. You can do or skip whatever side missions you want. Their main purpose is to gain XP and level up between main missions.

  6. Hi, I have a question about the Boom! trophy.
    Does it mean that have I shoot a burning arrow and set the oil jars and the surroundings on fire or does it mean the have to explode?
    The second I couldn’t achieve.

    Reply

    • I did this this afternoon.You just have to shoot a fire arrow at the jars,if u do that the hay will burn and kill the enemies. You can lure enemies to it and do that.

      I did in Alexandria in the Medium Outpost on the top left.

      @Powerpyx Thank you for the answer and keep yp the brilliant job you been doing all this years.

  7. GOT GLITCHED ON For Those About to Die… THIS THOPHY
    i did all events even 2nd round,but still not pop.
    only this thophy can get me to platinum
    i hate ubi

    Reply

  8. Actually “Circle of Life” DOES work in water. I got it after killing the enemies on a boat, throwing them off and then attacking a Croc. then I sailed away. A few minutes later the trophy popped.

    So yeah I don’t think it needs to be on land they’re probably more likely to eat them on land though.

    Reply

    • You are correct, I killed 3 people and dumped 2 on the land and 1 in the river to see what would happen. It took me a couple of tries to get the crocodile to eat the guys on the land after chasing me, but every time it decided to stop coming after me, it casually walked pass the 2 on the land and back to the river. It eventually ate the guy in the river. Lol

  9. Hi, I just wanted to ask what are the activities for the Old Habits Trophy? I have been through most of the question marks but haven’t completed the objectives for them due to being on the run, busy with side quests, main missions etc

    I think some of them included loot boxes outposts and killing certain animals? Will they be permanently marked on the map after you have discovered the question mark locations (so I can complete them whenever) or will I have to start from scratch and do them as soon as I discover the area incase they aren’t marked on the map later on?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    • They’ll always be marked on the map once you discover them. But you need to complete ALL of them to get the trophy.(that means doing all the objectives)

  10. I can confirm that I got the ‘I’m a Legend’ trophy, without the 6 legendary gear upgrades. I do not think you need them. Just the weapons, outfit, mount and shield.

  11. A couple of things for “Rider’s License”.

    The Camel and Horse count towards it, and story-based mounts don’t count. I haven’t even gotten passed “Aya” yet and I already have the Trophy. It popped when I got onto a Camel.

    So the part when I was placed on one in the story apparently didn’t count.

  12. Great guide as always! I wanted to thank you for your quick efforts and continued work.

    Just wanted you to know that the trophy, Circle of Life – Feed a predator with a corpse. Doesn’t have to be a crocodile. I got this in the middle of the desert when I was doing a bandit camp. I killed a sentry on the perimeter (well, takedown then killed him to hide the corpse) then as I was working my way around taking out the rest of the bandits, the trophy popped. I saw a buzzard in the area of the corpse so I’m assuming that’s what did it.

  13. Grrr… I should have read this first, I’ve been using the D-pad down button to sell off all my ‘useless’ trinkets from the start periodically.

    Not sure why, I haven’t purchased anything in the game except one upgrade just to see what it was like. I’m only level 19 so I guess, I’ll put the clamps on selling anything. I’m glad I only sold one weapon and have been breaking everything else down as I no longer need it. Since I haven’t had any weapons break on me, I’m guessing enemies don’t break them. I’ll probably curtail my equipment a bit more.

    Now I just wish I could get rid of the Ubi-Play equipment I had ‘purchased’ with Ubi points. I can see not giving me anything for dismantling them, but not allowing me to get rid of them? Are you kidding me Ubi?

  14. I’m having trouble in the Roman Akropolis after the story is done, I can’t seem to get to a treasure that is underground. I’ve searched everywhere around the fortress and I can’t seem to find it, may I have some help? also, hope that glitch gets patched, but i’m sur ei didn’t do jack with Aya.

    • Theres a hidden entrance inside one of the buildings that leades to a basement. Not sure which one, but it’s one of the outer buildings.

      For some reason Senu has a tough time picking it up.

    • Also what about side missions are they necessary in old habit trophy? I completed the game and i think I finished all question marks, and i don’t remember completing are question marks while play with aya

  16. Well, dont know if i collected anything with Aya… shit… dont want to Start a new Game… i will do the rest and get the trophy or i do the rest and wait for a patch… that sucks.

  17. My only concern is about trinkets after obtaining Aya’s trophy.
    I have played for about 15 hours but just opened up a few territories (spent most of time roaming around and hunt for crating materials).
    However, I sold all trinkets I got.

    So, I was wondering how I can grind some trinkets to obtain the “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle trophy”.

    Thanks in advance.

  18. One more question.
    I have got 2 legendary melee weapons, a shild, an outfit, and a horse from Deluxe Edition.

    I would like to know whether they are counted for “i am a legend trophy” or not.

    If yes, i will have to find 2 more legendary bows.

  19. Hello fellow hunters (:

    Can someone confirm this — Is doing all the locations in Alexandria, prior to completing Aya’s quest secures you from the glitch?

    Thanks for the response! Cheers!

    Reply

    • Sorry for late reply but i’m sure you already found out but YES completing alexandria secure you from the glitch but i think ubisoft already fixed that issue with the new patch.

  20. Just got Ben-hur trophy.
    The race is quite frustrating to me.
    Do I have to finish all races for Old Habit trophy?

    Thanks a lot guys.

  21. Thank you so much for your constant effort on making game guides! I have an idea. How about making an APP that we can browse your guides anytime anywhere? I got this idea because my PS4 and PC share the same screen, sometimes in order to follow a step-by-step guide, I need to constantly switch the screens. It would be lot easier if we can check the guides on the phone.

  22. Hi,

    i have one question for old Habits. Do you only have to find the papyrus puzzles or complete them and get the loot?

    Thanks

    Reply

    • You just need to find them for the old habits one. Completing them just gives you some more XP and gear.

  23. HELP!!! (Old Habits) – can you please confirm what you mean by ‘Do not complete any locations’ while playing as Aya. Does this mean do not discover or simply do not find loot, popyrus etc …

    Reply

    • Completing = looting treasures, killing bandits etc. (so that the question mark goes away). This you aren’t allowed to do.
      Discovering them is fine.

  24. As always Power you rock!!!! I’m having a tough time with the Old Habits trophy. I keep getting new locations popping up out of nowhere. I’ve done everything required and followed your rule on Aya but still no love from trophytown!!! I even had Hotep pop up and have 58/58 synchs completed. Are there any other options you know of that may just be difficult to find?

  25. “old habit” trophy glitched for me as well, i’m at 99% completion in Ubisoft club, I swept the whole map, can’t find any more camps, question marks, etc, everything is marked as completed.

    Reply

    • I keep logging in and finding things where nothing was before. I dint leave an area until it was 100% completed. A tracker would have been nice

  26. “Old Habits” is the worst. Picked up a puzzle, now while playing as Bayek it says 0/1 on the map. Looked up a guide and went to the exact location and the puzzle is just not there. Was hoping the patch today would fix it, but nope. Classic Ubisoft. Probably the last AC I buy, definitely the last at launch.

  27. Hey I want to be sure that in trophy reduce, reuse and recycle, did i will have to sell 100 different types of trinkets or same types because if diff. then i got 38 and if same then i got 76.

    Reply

    • It does not matter as long as you sell 100 “units”. You’ll obviously have multiple identical ones because there aren’t 100 different types in the game.
      Count them patiently and make sure you sell 100+ and it’ll pop ;)
      Good luck

  29. Guide looks good PowerPyx, thanks for posting!

    One tip for “I’m a Legend”. If you want to get the Legendary horses to show up at the stable vendor, there is a perk in the Seer tree called Backstore that will allow you to purchase rarer quality items from vendors. This applies to the stable vendor as well, and should guarantee the ability to buy a legendary mount. I unlocked this perk and had legendary mounts available at the first vendor I checked, where previously that vendor only had blue and purple ones.

    You can always unlock the perk, get the trophy, and then restore from a backup save if you want to keep your spent ability points and gold.

  37. Hi guys,

    Can anyone tell me how many activities and sync points the Qattara Depression has? I’ve heard that the area is frequently bugged.

    What I have found so far in the area are 1 hermit location, 1 stone circle, 1 treasure cave (Hotep), but I cannot find a sync point at all. Does it mean I got bugged?

    Reply

  38. Now I have done all locations on my map, tombs and hermit location. I have solved all the papyrus. I haven’t got the trophy. I can’t find any more, and the one in the Qattara Depression (who glitched for many) have I completed. I have not completed any locations as Aya.
    I don’t know what to do.

  40. Trying to obtain “Old Habit”, on Kyrenaika region there should be two treasures locations near to each other in the center right. But in my map only one is shown, I went to the location and there appear the red bar of forbidden place but with no name and the place is empty.

  42. Question about the (Old Habits) trophy, do I need to complete all loot treasure areas, animal lairs and outposts or just discover all the marks on the map?

    Reply

  43. Hi i don’t know if it was already said earlier but solving papyrus does NOT count for the old babits trophy. You just need to solve one papyrus for the trophy elementary my dear bayek. You just need to find them and don’t have to solve it.

    Reply

  44. With regards to the “Old Habits” trophy, you also have to finish the Story, as well as the locations. My “Old Habits” trophy did not pop up, until after I finished “The End” trophy. I was motivated to do everything else first, since the story was so bloody boring!!!! It really turned me off for any future AC games.

  48. TIP: The rowboats you need to get are very common in the memphis canal and mandatory to ride in the lizard quests.

  49. Overheated glitch:
    Gone to the desert several times, even changed deserts, and I’ve seen the bugs also, 5 or 6 times at least, I’ve spent hours there, alone, with a horse, with a camel, etc but I never get the trophy. It may be related to the DLCs though, I’ve completed The Hidden Ones and I’m about to complete The Curse of the Pharaohs. I hadn’t tried it before.

    Reply

    • Hi, for the platinum trophy in the main game you don’t need the DLC.
      You can get all trophies in main game without DLC. Enjoy 🙂

  53. Great guide. I have completed everything. I have not done the Pharoah dlc story or the discovery tours and no platinum trophy. Any ideas? My steam shows 61 out of 67. I thought you didn’t need to complete the Pharoah dlc or the discovery tours. Yes or no to these. Tx for the great guide
