The leveling system in the game works with XP. Collect a certain amount of XP and you level up. You earn XP by completing Quests and hunting down machines. This trophy should come naturally when going for the other trophies.

If, however, you haven’t reached level 50 after collecting all the other trophies, then the quickest way to level up is to repeat the "Thunderjaw vs. Ravager Trial" located at the Sun Furrows Hunting Grounds over on the northwestern portion of the map. Completing this trial in under 2 minutes will earn you 10,000xp, and killing Thunderjaw afterwards will earn you an extra 3,000xp. See the below video from RaLph for a good strategy:

You start the game off at Level 3 automatically when Aloy is an adult ("The Point of the Spear"). To rank up you need to gain Experience (XP), which you can earn by completing Main/Side Quests, Errands, Bandit Camps, Tallnecks, Hunting Grounds, Cauldrons, and Corrupted Zones. This means you also get XP by killing human and machine enemies. The only thing that gives you the smallest amount of XP is killing wildlife animals.

We want to emphasize that there is no need to farm XP. There are ways that you can farm large amounts of XP in 1-2 minutes, but you’ll reach level 50 very easily while just going for the other trophies and completing the game. Doing all the story Main Quests to "The Looming Shadow" brings you to levels over 30+. Cleaning up trophies and getting ready for the final battle will give you both the level 40 and level 50 trophies.

Our Roadmap will have you around these levels on average:

Step 1: Levels 30-35 and you should have the Shield-Weaver Outfit
Step 2: Levels 35-50 Everything mop up and all Optional Allies requirements should be met
Step 3: Maxed Level should already be reached when you've finished Step 2

If you're not maxed out then you can always do the Hunting Ground Trials giving you some very quick level ups and will push you to levels 40+. Getting Blazing Sun Marks in all Hunting Trials gives 17,500 XP for 1 minute of work. The remaining Side Quests and activities will very quickly get you to level 50. No farming required, there are more than enough XP Rewards for just playing the game and completing the various tasks.
