Story trophies: 1 each for Damiane, Kliff and Oongka stories

Sailing: Discover 10 islands, sink 5 pirate ships in 3 min, etc.

Management: Level 5 facility, luxury tier, 5 combo effects, etc.

Assumption: Written for players who finished the base game

Before you start

The Ruliweb guide assumes you finished the base-game ending. Inven Global (Nov 3) says the DLC starting quest requires finishing the 2nd and 3rd Greymane camp expansions; after the 3rd, 'Into a Wider World' appears under the Charting the Unknown faction entry. Underwater trophies are much easier with the Propulsion Breathing Device, which boosts swim speed, adds 600 max breath and sits in a treasure chest in an underwater structure east of Delesyia.

Story trophies (3)

• Dawn Opener: finish the Damiane story in the DLC main story

• Path Leaver: finish the Kliff story

• Tomorrow Maker: finish the Oongka story

Sailing trophies

• Taste of the Far Sea: catch 30 fish while at sea. Anchoring near an island works.

• Riding the Wind: reach Ocula Island from Samora Island in 10 minutes. You need a fast ship; the original author used the turtle ship.

• Shipless Voyage: travel from Ilia Island to Estra Island in 10 minutes without a ship, using Abyss traces elsewhere.

• Dots on the Sea: discover 10 ocean islands, which comes naturally while collecting sealed Abyss artifacts.

• Quick Work: sink 5 pirate ships in 3 minutes. Groups of five sometimes roam between Ocula and Niraka Islands.

• Bow Strike: land a ram on 3 different enemies in 1 minute, speeding into groups of three or more pirate ships.

• Ship Collector: own 10 different ships, easiest by buying with management income.

Underwater trophies

• Guest of the Deep: dive continuously for 5 minutes with the diving suit and breathing device.

• Flawless Match: hang on to a Megalodon for 2 minutes. Grab with L3 and attack with R3 whenever it glows red; losing your grip fails it. Kill nearby sharks first.

• Three-Way Catch: catch 3 different fish with the Harpoon Gun within 1 minute.

• Sea Table: cook 10 seafood dishes. Commenters report some dishes not counting.

• Ocean Companion: tame a shark or an orca.

• Leisurely Voyage: ride a sea turtle 500m in 2 minutes. Tap the button instead of mashing it to save stamina; 1:40-1:50 is reported achievable. The coast west of the Dewhaven lumber camp is recommended.

• Showdown in the Deep: kill a shark using only the harpoon (not a Megalodon).

• Footsteps on Water: run on the water surface for 1 minute; stamina recovery items help.
