Initially, it's crucial to understand that the kills won't be counted unless you use a spear, and the only ship allowing spear usage is the initial and least powerful Dhow. Therefore, exercise caution not to engage in conflicts beyond the ship's capability due to its limited strength.

Upon inspecting the map, you'll notice the availability of only three distinct types of animals, yet you need to locate seven for the trophy. This is due to certain animals having multiple species, despite being categorised under the same icon on the map.
