I think this is a step in the right direction.
However, what if it's a secret boss? Should the hidden trophy say "defeat the secret adversary"?
I'd rather stumble upon these things completely blind so I don't know how they can give the trophy a meaningful unhidden label without spoiling something.
Stuff like this is another reason why I believe trophies are useless, outside of a miniscule dopamine dose from hearing that jingle upon beating a hard challenge, and knowing what % of players beat a certain story boss and seeing that % go down the further you progress in a game and start feeling like some badass...
Nah I think we'd be better without 'em.
You can be vague enough that it doesn't even tell you it's a secret boss. Or make it part of a larger achievement like "defeat all bosses."
