Trophies in Windrose do more than just decorate your base walls. Each one boosts your camp’s Comfort Level by 1, which directly increases the duration of the Rested buff you get from resting at your Bonfire. That buff supercharges your stamina regeneration while you explore, making trophies one of the most important investments you can make early on.

There are currently seven trophies in the game, and six of them unlock by completing animal hunting challenges. The seventh comes from a quest. Here is everything you need to know to unlock and craft all of them.
Every trophy in Windrose is tied to a hunting challenge, and completing them all unlocks stackable buffs that can extend your Rested bonus to over 30 minutes.

How Trophies Work in Windrose
Before you start hunting, there is one key rule to understand: each trophy category stacks independently. Unlike other decoration types where only the first item of a sub-category counts toward Comfort, every unique trophy you mount adds +1 Comfort to your base. Collecting all seven gives you a significant stacked bonus to movement speed and stamina regeneration.
Unlocking a trophy recipe requires completing a specific in-game Adventure Challenge. Once you hit the kill quota for a given animal, the crafting blueprint unlocks automatically at your workbench. You then need the right materials to actually build it.
All Trophies in Windrose
1. Dodo Trophy
- Challenge: Bird Hunt
- Requirement: Kill 20 Azure Dodos
- Crafting Materials: x5 Wood, x1 Dodo Head
- Where to Find Them: Starter island
The Dodo Trophy is the most accessible one in the game. Azure Dodos appear on the starter island and go down easily. Make sure you target only the Azure variant, as other Dodo types do not count toward the challenge. The Dodo Head drops from this grind, so you will have everything you need by the time you hit 20 kills.
2. Great Goat Trophy
- Challenge: Goat Hunter
- Requirement: Kill 20 Goats
- Crafting Materials: x5 Hardwood, x1 Head of a Mountain Goat Leader, x4 Nails
- Where to Find Them: Foothills biome and the starting area
Goats roam out in the open, making this one of the easier trophies to complete. Kill 20 goats of any type to finish the challenge, but also target Goat Leaders specifically for the trophy head drop. The head is not a guaranteed drop, so you may need to farm a few leaders before it appears.
3. Boar Trophy
- Challenge: Buccaneer-in-Training
- Requirement: Kill 40 Wild Boars
- Crafting Materials: x5 Wood, x1 Boar Head
- Where to Find Them: Multiple biomes
All boar variants count toward the Buccaneer-in-Training challenge, which makes this one of the most forgiving hunts in the game. You should naturally accumulate the Boar Head drop well before you reach 40 kills. Knock this one out passively while exploring new islands.
4. Wolf Trophy
- Challenge: Predator Cull
- Requirement: Kill 40 Wolves
- Crafting Materials: x5 Hardwood, x1 Wolf Head, x4 Nails
- Where to Find Them: All available biomes
Wolves are more aggressive than boars and goats, so come prepared for a fight. The kill count spans all biomes, giving you plenty of opportunities to grind. Target the Alpha Wolf for the Wolf Head drop, but note that it is not a guaranteed drop. Prioritize ranged attacks to stay safe during Alpha encounters.
5. Crocodile Trophy (x2)
- Challenges: Swamp Hunter (50 kills) and Legend of the Swamps (200 kills)
- Crafting Materials: x5 Hardwood, x1 Crocodile Head, x4 Nails
- Where to Find Them: Cursed Swamps biome
Crocodiles are the most dangerous animals tied to trophy challenges. They attack on sight and lurk in shallow water, so always use a ranged weapon when farming them. You need to complete two separate challenges for two separate trophies, with the Legend of the Swamps requiring a massive 200 kills total. Make sure you level up before heading into the Cursed Swamps. The Crocodile Head drops during your grind.
6. Crab Trophy
- Challenge: Crab (unlocks in Coastal Jungle)
- Requirement: Collect enough Crabs
- Crafting Materials: x5 Wood, x1 Crab Shell, x2 Crab Meat
- Where to Find Them: Coastal Jungle biome
Crabs do not attack you, which makes this challenge purely a patience test. The catch is that crabs are hard to spot, so you need to explore the Coastal Jungle thoroughly. The challenge automatically unlocks when you enter the biome for the first time.
7. Senkamati Blades Trophy
- Challenge: Ritual Daggers of the High Priestess (quest)
- Requirement: Find all three Ritual Daggers scattered across the islands
- Crafting Materials: The daggers themselves serve as the display
This is the only trophy with no animal tied to it. The quest triggers after you find the first Ritual Dagger. Track down all three daggers spread across the islands to complete the quest and unlock the trophy. Unlike the hunting trophies, these daggers are the display item themselves, so there is no extra crafting step.

Tips for Completing All Trophies
- Start with Dodo, Goat, and Boar: These three come early and go fast. Wrapping them up early boosts your Comfort Level before you even reach the harder biomes.
- Stock up on Hardwood and Nails: Four of the seven trophies require Hardwood and Nails to craft. Gather these materials in bulk so you can build trophies the moment you unlock their recipes.
- Use ranged weapons in the Cursed Swamps: Crocodiles are the biggest threat in the trophy grind. A bow or ranged weapon lets you deal damage before they close the gap.
- Boss head drops are not guaranteed: Alpha Wolves and Goat Leaders do not always drop their heads, so expect to fight them multiple times. The regular kill grind will give you plenty of chances.
- Do not skip the Senkamati Blades quest: It is easy to overlook since it has nothing to do with hunting, but it contributes +1 Comfort just like every other trophy. Play Now!
FAQs
How many trophies are currently in Windrose?
There are seven decoration trophies in Windrose right now: Boar, Crab, Crocodile, Dodo, Great Goat, Senkamati Blades, and Wolf. Since the game is still in early access, more are likely to be added as new animals and biomes arrive.
What do trophies actually do in Windrose?
Each trophy adds +1 Comfort to your base, which directly extends the Rested buff you get from your Bonfire. That buff boosts your stamina regeneration while exploring, and since all seven trophy bonuses stack, collecting them all can push the buff duration past 30 minutes.
How do you unlock trophy recipes in Windrose?
Trophy blueprints unlock by completing in-game Adventure Challenges. Each challenge tasks you with killing a set number of a specific animal. Once you hit the quota, the crafting recipe unlocks automatically at your workbench — no extra steps required.
Which trophy has the highest kill requirement?
The Crocodile Trophy is the biggest grind. It is tied to two separate challenges — Swamp Hunter at 50 kills and Legend of the Swamps at 200 kills. Crocodiles are also dangerous enemies that attack on sight, so make sure you level up before farming them in the Cursed Swamps.
Is there a Windrose trophy that does not require killing animals?
Yes — the Senkamati Blades Trophy is the only exception. Instead of a kill challenge, you earn it by completing the Ritual Daggers of the High Priestess quest, which involves tracking down three Ritual Daggers spread across different islands.
What materials do you need to craft trophies in Windrose?
It depends on the trophy. Easier ones like the Dodo and Boar only need Wood and their respective animal head drop. Tougher trophies — Wolf, Crocodile, and Great Goat — require Hardwood and Nails in addition to a rare boss head drop, which is not a guaranteed reward and may take several attempts.
