An End to HeresyKill a lesser Sorcerer when he is reviving an allyCampaignThe best place is at the start Dawn’s Descent as you make you way toward the Cathedral.

There are no missable trophies, partly because many of them are tied to scripted story beats or can be unlocked through replays in Operations and Eternal War. You can also replay Campaign missions as often as you like via the Battle Map on the Battle Barge. The Valour Crest trophy is arguably the toughest achievement to get, but if you level up your favourite class in Operations to level 15 or above, it shouldn’t be too hard to tick off.
