Code Vein 2 Trophy Hunter’s Guide: Complete Achievement Roadmap to Platinum Glory

The vampire-infused souls-like sequel has arrived, and trophy hunters are already diving into Code Vein 2’s challenging achievement list. Whether you’re a completionist or just curious about what it takes to earn that coveted platinum trophy, this comprehensive guide breaks down everything you need to know about the game’s 36 trophies.

Code Vein 2: Trophy Breakdown at a Glance

The Three Endings: Your Path to Gold

Code Vein 2’s narrative spans across time, and your choices determine which of three endings you’ll unlock. Here’s the good news: you don’t need separate playthroughs to get all three.

How the Endings Work

A Hero’s End – This is the default ending you’ll naturally reach on your first completion. It triggers after defeating the final boss and represents the standard conclusion to the story.

Luna Fraterna – After viewing “A Hero’s End,” simply continue from the main menu. This second ending becomes available immediately without replaying the entire game.

Miraculous Bonds – The most challenging ending requires completing all four Timeline Decision Missions throughout your playthrough. These missions allow you to alter history in MagMell Island, the Sunken City, the Corroded Scar, and the Undead Forest. You’ll also need to rescue Lou after finishing all timeline missions.

Pro tip: Back up your save before the final boss to make cleanup easier.

Boss Battle Trophies: 11 Silver Challenges

Every major boss in Code Vein 2 rewards you with a trophy upon defeat. These encounters test your mastery of the game’s unique blood-draining combat system and partner mechanics. Notable bosses include:

• Franz the Dejected Assailant
• Josée the Blind Hero
• One-Armed Hero Lyle
• Pioneer Queen Imogen
• Hero Holly the Reaper
• Camilo
• Gobbo

The boss trophies will come naturally as you progress through the story, so focus on learning enemy patterns and utilizing your partner’s abilities effectively. For more tips on mastering challenging boss fights in action RPGs, check out our gaming strategy guides at TechnoSports.

Upgrade Trophies: Max Out Your Arsenal

You’ll need to reach maximum level in several categories, but here’s the relief: you only need to max ONE item per category, not everything in the game.

Key Upgrade Requirements

• Friend of Few Words: Upgrade one weapon to +20 (regular weapons) or +5 (special weapons) using Crimson Stones or Light Stones
• Demon Eater: Max one Jail to +20 using tiered Platinum
• Hand-Me-Down: Upgrade a Bequeathed Forma to +5 using Remnant Hearts
• In Your Hands: Obtain the highest rank blood code by completing a partner’s blood code line (Lycoris’s line is recommended for efficiency)

All upgrades are handled through Jadwiga at the forge in MagMell or her Minions scattered across the map.

The Grindiest Trophy: Irreplaceable

Irreplaceable requires maximum affinity with one partner, and it’s arguably the most tedious achievement in the game. The challenge? There’s no visible progress tracker.

Affinity Farming Tips

1. Pick one partner early (Noah or Josée recommended)
2. Complete all their companion requests
3. Give gifts regularly (Boiled Eggs are cheap and infinite via Jadwiga)
4. Keep them in your party while farming enemies
5. Explore thoroughly with them

Miscellaneous & Easy Trophies

Several trophies unlock naturally through gameplay:

• The Tie That Binds: Trigger your first conditional trait
• The Price of Power: Cause overburden by over-equipping gear
• Hungry Hungry Hunter: Perform a Special Drain Attack on a staggered enemy
• Wings Deployed!: Glide a certain distance using your motorcycle jump ability
• Touring the Frontier: Unlock all maps

Efficient Platinum Roadmap

Phase 1 (40-50 hours): Complete the main story while collecting all Hot Springs locations, unlocking all maps, and completing the four Timeline Decision Missions. Max out one weapon, Jail, Forma, blood code, and partner affinity during this phase.

Phase 2 (10 hours): View all three endings sequentially, then load your pre-final boss save to clean up any missed collectibles or upgrades.

Result: Platinum trophy unlocked!

No Missables, No Multiplayer Required

Unlike the original Code Vein, Code Vein 2 doesn’t require multiplayer grinding or multiple New Game+ runs. All trophies can be achieved in a single playthrough, and nothing is permanently missable thanks to save loading.
