Welcome to The Walking Dead: Destinies. Begin your journey as Rick Grimes, waking alone in a hospital surrounded by the dead. Assemble allies and fight your way through the walker apocalypse across iconic locations from The Walking Dead, including Atlanta, the Greene family farm, the prison, and Woodbury. In crucial choice-driven moments, you will forever shape the destiny of your team of characters from the series. Heroes and villains, living and dead – it is up to you to decide whether to stay the course of history or forge your own path through the world of AMC’s The Walking Dead.
Stage 1 – Play through All Acts/Episodes
Play through all acts/episodes of the game. You can play on easy and still earn all trophies. Most trophies will be earned naturally playing the game. However, the game is divided into episodes that features autosaves at various checkpoints and completion of each episode. There is not an act/episode select after completing the game, so it is important to pay close attention to certain requirements for some trophies. For this reason outlined below are the episodes listed showing where to you will need to meet the requirements to earn the trophies associated for certain episodes to earn all trophies in one playthrough.
Episode List Guide:
Note: As you earn Skill Points, use them immediately to upgrade your character perks. Also, remember to focus on getting the Perks of the characters that could potentially die due to the choices that you make in your playthrough. You can always Restart an Episode if you want or pause the game, load a game and choose one of the Autosaves prior to what choice affected the available Perks.
Stage 2 – Replay through Episodes.
If you missed a trophy, then you will need to replay the game until you meet the requirements for a given trophy that may be tied to a specific episode. See the Stage 1 and the trophy information below as needed.

Finish Act 5.
You will earn this when you complete the last Act of the game.
Heavyweight
Kill a Strong Walker with only melee attacks.
You will encounter larger walkers that will need more melee hits in order to kill them. They will chase and run towards you until they eventually fall face first into the ground. Use only a melee weapon to attack and kill at least one Strong Walker to earn this trophy.
Thick Skin
Kill enemies with Execution, Stab, Stomp, Melee, Firearm and a Grenade in “This Sorrowful Life”.
In the episode called This Sorrowful Life, you will have opportunities to kill various walkers using melee weapons, firearms, and grenades. Make sure that you kill at least one walker by Execution (after your blood is boiling), Stomp on a crawler walker, Stab, Melee, Firearm, and a Grenade to earn this trophy.
Fire in the Dead
Kill 5 walkers with 1 grenade.
Various episodes will have grenades scattered about the level. When you find one, you can pick it up to carry in your inventory.
Note: You can only carry one of these items at a time – Medicine, First Aid Kit, Flash Grenade, or a Grenade. However, you can drop any of them to pick up and use another item and then repick up the item that you dropped to your inventory.
You can roundup walkers into a group or find a bunch of at least 5 that are together and then use the Grenade on them to instantly kill all of them.
Not running from a fight
Win the pit fight in “The Suicide King” without dodging.
During “The Suicide King” episode, when you are fighting make sure not to dodge at all. It is best to be on the offense and to keep punching the enemy back into the walkers. The walkers will help to inflict damage to your opponent too. Your opponent will try to roll and end up behind you quite a lot so make sure to turn around when you see them start to roll. Then continue to punch them until the round is over. You will only need to do the first round of the fight this way as the trophy should be earned after the first round. Otherwise pause the game and Restart the Episode.
Zoned in
Kill 5 enemies with the Sniper Rifle without zooming out.
When you play an episode where the Sniper Rifle is found, you will be able to use it and use the zoom. Make sure to find an area where there are 5 enemies and then zoom in and kill them without ever zooming out.

The earliest episode where the Sniper Rifle is available is “Bloodletting” where you will need to kill walkers in the gym from the balcony.
Executioner
Perform one execution with each melee weapon (Bat, Fire Axe, Crowbar, Machete, Sledgehammer, Katana).
Melee weapons are available during episodes, but not all are available until later in the game. The common melee weapons are: Bat, Fire Axe, Crowbar, Machete. The Sledgehammer is less common and the Katana is the least common as it is only available to Michonne.
When you are killing walkers, your character will say “My blood is boiling” or “My adrenaline is pumping”, this is your audio clue that you can perform an execution. To perform an execution, melee hit an enemy once and then press the Triangle button to trigger the event. Keep track that you perform at least one execution with each type of melee weapon. It is best to perform an execution as soon as you can when you discover each of these melee weapons as the story unfolds.
Anger Management
Become Wrathful and survive.
Playing as any character, if you become overwhelmed with attacks by walkers, your character will eventually suffer a condition such as Wrathful. When a Wrathful condition occurs, you will need to move away from the walkers and try to avoid being attacked again during this short period of time. There may be a restriction on your character that they may no longer be able to do until you do as stated in the upper left corner of your HUD. If you have difficulties trying to complete this trophy, you can always let your character become Wrathful by attracting the walkers and not fighting and only minimally fighting them off of you. If you die, you will restart the episode or the checkpoint in the episode to try again.
Bad call
Make a bad expedition decision.
You will need to make a Bad choice for a person that is on an expedition. See Stage 1 for the Episodes that contain an expedition. When you are in your camp, you will need interact with your map to select the next episode. At the start there may be an expedition where you will choose one person to go on a mission. These will possibly give some Skill Points as stated. Then after you have started an episode, at one point it will be interrupted as the person on the expedition will call you and ask for your advice which they will follow. Most of the choices are very obvious as to what is the good and bad choice. For example, if the person wants to attack other people or invite people back to your camp, most of these would be the bad call. Whereas if the person says that they are going to hunt a wounded animal or they are returning to your camp alone, most of these would be the good call. Then your own episode will continue after you tell them what to do, then a little later you will hear what happened (FAIL for a Bad Call) and earn any Skill Points. See the pictures below for an example.
