Instead of battling through the prejudice-laden woods teeming with Haints, or squaring off against Two-Toed Tom in a chase, you can acquire these trophies by progressing in the game and enhancing Hazel’s abilities.

To earn the “Took ’em Down a Peg” achievement, it’s best to try it out against less formidable adversaries during the early stages of the story, close to an automatic save point. This tactic can be risky when used among tougher enemies encountered later in the game all at once, as it could potentially lead to more challenges.

Collectibles Achievements

Make sure you check regularly for the Collectibles Tracker located within your menu, since it offers opportunities to earn various trophies by gathering all available collectibles.

These are the awards that require the greatest investment of your time and energy to obtain, so don’t forget to gather all available items while progressing through the game.

Remember, you can replay each chapter in the game by navigating to the Main Menu, selecting “Load Game,” and choosing “Chapter Replay” from your saved file. This way, earning some trophies becomes more manageable, but keep in mind that you’ll need to play through significant parts of the game again if you’re after collectibles.
