One Silver and One Bronze Trophy

	Obtained 3 Stripes at All Hunting Grounds
	Earned at least a Quarter Stripe mark in all three trials at all Hunting Grounds.
	Obtained 3 Stripes at a Hunting Ground
	Earned at least a Quarter Stripe mark in all three trials at one Hunting Lodge.

Two of the game's Trophies, Obtained 3 Stripes at a Hunting Grounds and Obtained 3 Stripes at All Hunting Grounds, require completion of Hunting Grounds Trials. Neither of them require the player to get Half Stripes or Full Stripes, so simply getting a score of Quarter Stripes at all Trials is enough to get both trophies.

What are Hunting Grounds?

Time Trial Challenges

Hunting Grounds are areas with three Time Trial challenges each, which grant the player rewards for completion.

There are three time limits available, Quarter Stripes, Half Stripes, and Full Stripes, each with its own set of rewards. Completing a Trial within a faster time limit will also yield the rewards for the slower time limits, if they have not already been completed.

Reaching each of the three time limits for all three available Trials at a Hunting Grounds will yield a Grand Reward, including a Grand Quarter Stripes Reward, a Grand Half Stripes Reward, and a Grand Full Stripes Reward. You'll need to get Full Stripes for all three trials to get all possible rewards at a Hunting Grounds.

Can Be Retried Freely

Failing a Hunting Grounds Trial or completing one with a slower than Full Stripes time will not bar the player from trying again, so keep at it until you get all the rewards.

If you want to start over, you can choose Restart From Save at any time during a Trial to go back to the entrance and start again. You won't lose any progress this way, but you'll recover any resources or ammunition you used during the trial, so this is the best way to start over if you aren't satisfied with your time.
