Added the nine newly named entries (Uphill Battle plus eight hidden names) in their own table, updated the named counts to 22 visible and 8 hidden, and dated the continued absence of any console trophy list
The Blood of Dawnwalker shipped with a full achievement list on day one rather than adding it after release. The developers published the visible portion of that list ahead of launch, and because each entry names a specific system, ability, or place, the list doubles as one of the clearest confirmations of what the finished game contains.
There are 46 achievements in total on PC, and all of them have been available since launch day, September 3, 2026. They break down into 25 visible achievements, whose names and unlock conditions are shown to the player from the start, and 21 hidden achievements, whose names and conditions stay concealed until they are earned.
Detail | Value |
|---|---|
Total achievements | 46 |
Visible achievements | 25 |
Hidden achievements | 21 |
Available from | Launch day, September 3, 2026 |
Visible entries now named | 22 of 25. |
Hidden entries now named | 8 of 21. |
Twenty-one of the visible achievements were published with their unlock conditions before launch. A twenty-second visible name, Uphill Battle, appeared afterwards on the store listing without a condition attached, and eight of the hidden names have surfaced the same way. Whether the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S trophy and achievement lists match the PC list has still not been stated.
The developers group the achievements around seven kinds of activity, which between them touch most of the game's core systems.
Combat mastery
Vampiric progression
Witchcraft abilities
Exploration and discovery
Story progression
Character development
Inventory
The list is described as designed to complement the narrative sandbox experience, encouraging exploration and experimentation without requiring players to follow an exhaustive checklist. That framing matters in a game built on a hard time limit: the achievements are meant to reward the routes a player was already taking rather than pull them into a completion grind that fights the 30-Day Cycle.
The developers have also stated plainly that one single run will not make it possible for a full unlock. Because The Blood of Dawnwalker is built around choices and consequences, some conditions are mutually exclusive within a playthrough, so a complete list requires more than one run. A developer interview has separately indicated that some achievements are tied to how the story ends, though the specific endings involved have not been detailed.
The 21 named visible achievements and their unlock conditions are listed below, grouped the same way the developers grouped them.

The store listing highlights a further nine achievements by name only. One is visible and the other eight are hidden, and none of them carries a published unlock condition, so the names are all that can be said about them.
Achievement | Visibility |
|---|---|
Uphill Battle | Visible |
Selfish | Hidden |
A Dawnwalker is Born | Hidden |
A Hero They Deserve | Hidden |
The Right Fist of the Knyaz | Hidden |
The Mad Khan | Hidden |
The Dark Mistress | Hidden |
Sins of the Past | Hidden |
Misery Loves Company | Hidden |
Nothing beyond the names and the visibility flags has been published for these nine, so no unlock condition should be inferred from a title alone.
Twenty-one of the 46 achievements are hidden. Their conditions stay secret until the player earns them. Eight of the names are now listed on the store page and appear in the table above, and nothing has been published about what any of the 21 actually require. Given that the visible list already accounts for the headline systems, the hidden entries are widely expected to sit closer to story branches and endings, but that is an assumption rather than a confirmed detail.
Several of the unlock conditions name mechanics, places, and values that had not been spelled out elsewhere in official material. The table below reads the list as a source of confirmed detail.
Achievement Text | What It Confirms |
|---|---|
Reach Level 50 | Level 50 is reachable. The developers have not stated whether 50 is the hard ceiling, so it is best treated as a confirmed floor for the level cap. |
Earn 1000 denarii selling silver; Accumulate 5000 denarii | The valley's currency is the denarius, and the silver that the mines produce can be sold for it. |
Behead an enemy with Artery Strike while they are also hexed with Burning Blood | Artery Strike is a beheading finisher, Burning Blood is a hex, and hexes and finishers can be combined in the same kill. See Hex Magic and Combat. |
Cause an enemy to explode using an Active Ability | Active Abilities exist as a distinct category and at least one produces a lethal burst effect. |
Have 3 Passive Abilities equipped at the same time | Passive Abilities are equipped rather than permanently owned, and at least three can be slotted simultaneously. |
Perform 5 Perfect Blocks in a row | Perfect Block is a discrete timed defensive input that the game tracks in sequence, consistent with the tactical branch of Directional Combat. |
Unlock an Ultimate Perk in the Swordmastery, Witchcraft, and Vampirism trees | The three Skill Trees are officially named Swordmastery, Witchcraft, and Vampirism, and each one ends in an Ultimate Perk. |
Speak with a dead person using the Compel Soul Witchcraft Ability | Compel Soul is a Witchcraft ability whose function is conversation with the dead, confirming magic has investigative uses alongside combat ones. |
Travel 1000 metres using Vampiric Abilities | Night traversal is measured as distance covered by ability rather than by a single movement mode, matching the night toolkit. |
Drink from 10 animals, humans, or monsters | Monsters are a valid feeding target alongside animals and humans, which widens the options for managing Blood Craving. |
Reach peak Infamy in Vale Sangora | Infamy has a defined peak state rather than an open-ended counter. See the Notoriety System. |
Destroy 8 vrakhiri transports | Vrakhiri transports are destructible world objects that appear in sufficient number to allow at least eight kills. |
Tear down all of Brencis's flags | Brencis's flags are a finite, fully clearable collectible set placed around the valley. |
Climb all the towers and scout the surrounding areas | Towers are a finite set, and climbing one scouts its surroundings. Tower climbing is night-gated because it needs the vampiric wall-walk. |
Visit the City of Svartrau; Visit all of Vale Sangora's villages | Svartrau is treated as a city distinct from the valley's villages, and there are multiple villages to find, so Exploration covers more than the capital. |
The published list is the PC one, and as of September 10, 2026 it is still the only one. Neither console storefront publishes a trophy or achievement list for the game: the PlayStation product pages carry no trophy section at all, and the Xbox listing declares that achievements exist without naming a count or an entry. Nothing has been said about whether those platforms carry the same 46 entries, the same visible and hidden split, or any trophy tiers.
