How to Unlock Holly’s Requests
First things first: you can’t start this quest until you’ve completed Timeline Shift Decision: Holly. Once you’ve altered her fate and saved both Holly and her father Camilo, head to MagMell hub during the 2187/2197 Free Exploration Era. Find Holly upstairs from the hot spring, near Valentin’s Office, and select “Catch Up” to begin.
She’ll ask you to test her experimental Jail-enhancement device by wearing it during combat. Don’t worry—you don’t actually need to equip it manually. Just having Holly as your active partner triggers the quest progression.
All Four Request Locations
| Request # | Location | Boss | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Request 1 | Snowy Mountain Amusement Park | Bride of the Immortal | Extra Booster Slot + Cognitive Zeal Skill |
| Request 2 | Forest Complex (Housing Annex) | Bride of the Immortal | Blood Sacrifice Skill |
| Request 3 | Abandoned Hilltop Church | Bride of the Immortal | Ice Spikes Skill |
| Request 4 | Mountain Hamlet | Bride of the Immortal | Extra Booster Slot |
Detailed Walkthrough
Request 1: Snowy Mountain Amusement Park
Teleport to the Snowy Mountain Amusement Park Mistle in the Undead Forest. Head toward the dungeon entrance and pass through the boss wall. Your opponent is the Bride of the Immortal—a recurring enemy you’ll fight four times total.
After defeating her, Holly confirms the device needs refinement. You’ll earn your first extra booster slot and the Cognitive Zeal skill, which boosts your combat effectiveness significantly.
Request 2: Forest Complex
Fast travel to Forest Complex Mistle and head east toward the Housing Annex. The boss wall awaits you here with another Bride of the Immortal encounter. This fight follows the same patterns as before, making it easier if you’ve learned her moveset.
Victory grants you Blood Sacrifice—a versatile skill useful across multiple blood code builds.
Request 3: Abandoned Hilltop Church
Head to Abandoned Hilltop Church Mistle. Enter the dungeon, follow the right-hand path, and confront the Bride of the Immortal once more. By now, you should have her attack patterns memorized.
Completing this grants the Ice Spikes skill—excellent for crowd control and elemental damage setups.
Request 4: Mountain Hamlet (Final Test)
Your last stop is Mountain Hamlet Mistle. Enter the dungeon, stick to the wall on your right, and prepare for the final Bride of the Immortal showdown. This concludes Holly’s device testing.
You’ll receive a second extra booster slot as your final reward—doubling your customization options for tackling endgame bosses.
Combat Strategy: Defeating Bride of the Immortal
Good news: the Bride uses identical movesets across all four encounters. Here’s how to dominate every fight:
- Stay aggressive but patient: She has long recovery windows after combo attacks—punish them hard
- Watch for grab attacks: Her signature move is telegraphed with a glow; dodge backward twice
- Bring Holly as partner: She’s required for quest progression anyway and provides solid support
- Use ranged gifts: If you’re struggling with timing, ranged blood code abilities keep you safe
According to Bandai Namco, mastering boss patterns is crucial for Code Vein 2’s combat system. The repeated encounters with Bride of the Immortal serve as perfect practice.

FAQs
Do I need to complete Holly’s requests to unlock the true ending?
No, Holly’s requests are completely optional side content. However, you DO need to complete Timeline Shift Decision: Holly (along with Noah, Josée, and Lyle) to unlock the Miraculous Bonds true ending. The requests themselves just provide valuable booster slots and skills that make endgame content easier.
Can I complete Holly’s requests in any order?
No, you must complete Holly’s four requests sequentially in the exact order listed. Each request unlocks only after defeating the previous Bride of the Immortal encounter. You cannot skip ahead to later locations—the game requires linear progression through all four battles with Holly as your active partner.
