TROPHY GUIDE

WARNING: This section contains spoilers for Gaucho and the Grassland.

Gaucho and the Grassland features 45 Trophies, which can be easily achieved through the course of a single playthrough.
While most are pretty straightforward, others will require you to develop your relationship with the locals beforehand.

STORY TROPHIES

This first set of trophies relates to the steps needed to restore the Grasslands to their former glory. After being introduced to the gathering and crafting mechanics, as well as the two animal companions, you will be free to choose a starting zone: use the Key of Harmony that Ghost Father gives you, and begin your quest to find all the three missing Guardians of the Grasslands!

TROPHY LIST

A PLACE TO CALL HOME

The trophy will spawn immediately after.

CRAFTING TROPHIES

Throughout the game, you will be able to craft a wide variety of tools. Three of those, in particular, will require you to gather materials from the Realm of the Guardians.

• The Rock Cracker
