- Master Oculist – Craft Oculi. Oculi are gems you can craft by combining three gemstones. You can do this very early in the game once you find your first few gems.
- Scene Stealer – Execute 3 Surprise Strikes. A Surprise Strike is performed by attacking an enemy from behind. Do this three times for the trophy.
- Showstopper – Interrupt 3 foes at the same time. The best opportunity for this is during encounters with three or more enemies. Time your attacks to interrupt multiple enemies simultaneously.
- Winged Fury – Devastate 5 foes. Devastating an enemy means dealing excessive damage on the final blow when they are at very low health. This will likely happen naturally as you play.
- Explorer – Find and open 30 coffers. Coffers (treasure chests) are abundant throughout Lemuria. You’ll easily find 30 well before the end of the game.
- Perfect Sonnet – Collect all Confessions. There are 16 Confessions hidden across Lemuria. Finding all of them will require some exploration.
- Grassroots – Finish 3 Lemurian Requests. Lemurian Requests are side quests. Complete any three of these to unlock the trophy. You can start these as early as Chapter 5.
