Introduction

Welcome to the Code Vein 2 Trophy Guide! Code Vein 2 is an open world game with a similar map structure to Elden Ring. For platinum you will need to unlock the 3 Endings, which are effectively all automatic story trophies. The endings happen in a predetermined order within a single playthrough. The first ending is always the default ending for all players no matter what you do. Then you click “Continue” in the main menu and receive the objectives to reach the second ending. After the second ending you click “Rescue Lou” in the main menu and the game keeps going until you reach the third ending, for which you must complete all Timeline Decision Missions. For collectibles you only need to find all Hot Springs and destroy all Map Jammers. For upgrades you only need to reach maximum level with one of each item: Weapon, Jail, Forma, Blood Code, Regeneration, Affinity with a Partner. Many other trophies are for doing something for the first time and will come naturally.

Step 1: All Collectibles + A Hero’s End Ending

You’ll want to play up until you’ve unlocked the A Hero’s End ending. The way endings work in this game is that they’re earned in a predetermined order one after another in the same playthrough, so it doesn’t require save scumming or pre-planning. Because of this, you can play at your own pace and there’s nothing to watch out for. The 3 endings are all “automatic” story trophies and nothing is missable. After the first ending you keep playing and do the objectives for the second ending, then you can do the last ending.

For :silver: Irreplaceable (max affinity with a partner), stick with the same partner until you earn this trophy. Do open world exploration with that partner, give gifts, and do their requests. Josée is a good choice as you unlock her early on and can use her for quite a few areas throughout the game.

Complete all the Timeline Decision Missions to save all the heroes because these are required for the Miraculous Bonds ending later. While you can go back to do them later, it’s more efficient to work on these as you play through the game. You can refer to their trophies below for how to start and complete the Timeline Decision missions in order of appearance:

You’ll also want to grab all the Regeneration Upgrades (Golden Nectar, Golden Blood Beads), Map Jammers, and Hot Springs as well as any miscellaneous trophy as you progress through the game. You can also work on Requests from a Friend missions for useful upgrades, but the only one required for a trophy is “Requests from a Friend: Holly“, and whichever one you choose for your partner to unlock :silver: Irreplaceable.

Step 2: Luna Fraterna Ending

After clearing Ending 1: A Hero’s End, you’ll get booted back to the main menu. You’ll notice something a little different about the menu now however. Choosing “Continue” will play some scenes and you’ll be able to work on the next ending. Just follow the bond to 2207: The Upheaval Era. This ending will then unlock after defeating the boss at the top of the Sealing Spire.

Step 3: Miraculous Bonds Ending

After having changed the past to save all 4 heroes (did the 4 Timeline Decisions Missions) and then clearing the Luna Fraterna ending , you’ll see a new “Rescue Lou” option on the menu, which will put you on this ending. Choose this and simply complete this mode to get the last ending.

Afterward you can still go back to your save before the final boss of the Luna Fraterna ending by choosing the Load option at the bottom of the main menu. If you have any cleanup left you can do it from that save.

Friend of Few Words
Upgraded a weapon to its maximum level.		 Silver
You can upgrade your weapons at the Jadwiga by the forge in MagMell, or at any of Jadwiga’s Minions across the map. There are 2 different types of weapons in the game, regular weapons and special weapons. Regular weapons take Crimson Stones to upgrade while special weapons take Light Stones. Regular weapons can be upgraded to +20 and special weapons can be upgraded to +5. You’ll find plenty of these upgrade materials throughout your playthrough, with the final tier upgrades being able to be found in the final dungeons of the game.
Demon Eater
Upgraded a Jail to its maximum level.		 Silver
You can upgrade your Jail at the Jadwiga by the forge in MagMell, or at any of Jadwiga’s Minions across the map. You can upgrade a Jail to +20 using different tiered Platinum. You’ll find plenty of these throughout your playthrough, with the final tier upgrades being able to be found in the final dungeons of the game.
Hand-Me-Down
Upgraded a bequeathed forma to its maximum level.		 Silver
You can upgrade your Bequeathed Forma at the Jadwiga by the forge in MagMell, or at any of Jadwiga’s Minions across the map. You can upgrade a Bequeathed Forma to +5 using different tiered Remnant Hearts. You’ll find plenty of these throughout your playthrough, with the final tier upgrades being able to be found in the final dungeons of the game.
Another Weapon
Unlocked your second weapon slot.		 Bronze
You’ll unlock your second weapon slot once you upgrade any Jail to +11. Refer to :silver: Demon Eater for more information on upgrading your Jail.
Beyond Limits
Unlocked an extra booster slot.		 Silver
There are a total of 2 extra booster slots you can get by completing Requests from a Friend: Holly. The trophy description is a bit misleading, you actually need to unlock 2 slots and not just 1 to unlock the trophy. Refer to the Requests Guide -> Requests from a Friend: Holly.
In Your Hands
Obtained a blood code of the highest rank.		 Silver
In order to get a blood code of the highest rank, you’ll need to get the last blood code in a partner’s blood code line. The easiest partner to do this with is Lycoris as she only has 2 blood codes, so you only need to max out her first one. If you do this with her, make sure to get it done before clearing the Undead Forest as you lose access to her afterwards.
Unbreakable Bond
Upgraded regeneration to its maximum level.		 Silver
To upgrade Regeneration you need 2 item types “Golden Nectar” and “Golden Blood Bead”. You can use these at Mistles (fast travel points) to increase your number of healing charges and the amount of healing per use.

Irreplaceable
Achieved maximum affinity with a partner.		 Silver
Partner affinity is a hidden experience bar for each partner that levels up in several ways.

  • Exploring with the partner (defeating enemies, picking up items, opening chests): The best way to do this is to pick a partner early on that you’ll have with you whenever you can. Josée is a good choice as you unlock her early on, meaning you can keep her with you longer. If you find yourself at the end of the game without this trophy, you can farm the highest level enemies you can farm with the partner in order to try and boost their affinity more.
  • Completing their Requests: You can refer to the Requests Guide in order to complete your selected partner’s request.
  • Giving them gifts: Most of the characters will accept any gift, with the exception of a few items. The best gift to give is the Boiled Egg as most partners will accept it and you can get an infinite amount by buying eggs from Jadwiga’s Minion outside the Refugee Village Mistle in the Sunken City, then craft those into Boiled Eggs.

Each of these activities has a cap for how much experience they give so you can’t just earn it from one of the activities, you’ll need to do them all.
The Tie That Binds
Triggered a conditional trait for the first time.		 Bronze
Conditional traits will vary based on which Blood Code you have equipped. It can range from not being overburdened or having specific margins for your stats. You can unlock the trophy as soon as you get Noah’s Blood Code near the start of the game and try equipping.
The Price of Power
Caused overburden for the first time.		 Bronze
To cause overburden, you’ll need to put on equipment that increases the blue burden bar under your attributes so that it is higher than the attribute itself. Becoming overburdened can yield you specific traits when combined with certain Blood Codes, but can also lower your dodge effectiveness as well as other effects depending on which attribute is under burden.
Adapt Your Arsenal
Customized weapon formae for the first time.		 Bronze
At a Mistle (fast travel point), you’ll be able to customize the formae on your weapon. These are basically your weapons skills that you can use by pressing :r1: + whichever face button you’ve assigned it to. You can get new formae either by finding them, or buying them.
Hungry Hungry Hunter
Used a Special Drain Attack for the first time.		 Bronze
After staggering an enemy, you’ll see a red circle on the center of them. When you see this symbol, you can press :r2: when you’re close enough to use a special drain attack. You can stagger enemies by either attacking them enough, by parrying or blocking their attacks until they become staggered, or doing a stealth attack on an enemy to stun them.
In Pursuit of Perfection
Transformed your first piece of equipment.		 Bronze
You can talk to Jadwiga sitting by the weapons in the armory in MagMell and she’ll allow you to transform your weapons and defensive formae. In order to transform a weapon, you’ll need a Breath material, and for defensive formae you’ll need to find a Runeleaf material. Both of these items can be found throughout the game in chests, or just randomly on the ground. Transforming a weapon or defensive formae will change its properties, allowing you to fit items more to your current build.
A Bond of Blood
Mastered your first blood code.		 Bronze
Whenever you have a Blood Code equipped, you’ll increase its proficiency as you defeat enemies of an appropriate level. Once you max out the proficiency bar, you’ll unlock the trophy.
Wings Deployed!
Glided a certain distance.		 Bronze
After unlocking the motorcycle (automatically at end of the prologue island), you’ll be able to summon it to ride around the overworld by pressing :r1: and :left:. While on the motorcycle you can jump by pressing :x: and if you’re high enough, you can press :x: midair to start gliding. You only need to glide for about a second or 2 in order to unlock the trophy, so you can jump off any high area or cliff and start gliding to unlock the trophy. You’ll also need to use the glide to reach certain collectibles where you’ll get enough distance for the trophy.
Touring the Frontier
Unlocked all maps.		 Silver
For this trophy you just need to fully unfog the whole map. This is done by destroying so-called “Map Jammers” which look like red flowers. They are marked on the map by red circles.

  2. Glad it doesn’t have any online trophies, and nothing is missable, and all the endings can be earned in one playthrough.

    Reply

    • shouldnt be, that one trophy in CV1 where you have to farm like 300 marks of honor was already a pain in the ass. trophies in CV2 seem more straightforward.

  4. Thanks for the guide on day 1! I wonder if there is any recommendation on weapon or skill to make the playthrough easier?

    Reply

  5. Is the ‘Irreplaceable’ achievement impossible to get after finishing the main story? I can’t give a gift to Noah, who I’ve traveled with the most. As for Jose—my second most-used companion—the achievement won’t trigger even after farming enemies right before the final boss. I’ve completed all quests and have over 1,000 points even after unlocking every item. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

    Reply

    • You should be able to give Noah gifts in the Free Exploration Era even after finishing the main story. As Josee, I have no idea what the caps are for the hidden experience but you surely would have hit the cap for the gifts if you’ve given her 1,000 points. In her gift shop, do you have her unique weapon unlocked? That would mean you’re close to reaching her max affinity as that is her last gift unlock tier. The higher level the enemy the more experience you get for their affinity.

      If you’re really struggling you could always try going into NG+ & speedrun through doing Josee’s requests again incase the request cap is actually higher than the experience you get for completing her requests once, but enemies are buffed up quite a lot going into NG+ & there are no new upgrade unlocks other than just leveling up, so NG+ is a lot more difficult than a NG run

    • Thanks for the reply. It’s weird, but in my game, Noah just keeps standing next to Valentin after the ending and only says stuff about the future. I can’t even exchange gifts with him.

    • Thanks for the reply. I ended up starting NG+ and went for Iris since she has the most gift points and her quests are easy. I re-cleared all of her quests, and even though I had 1,500 points left over, I gave her about 100 more eggs and spent hours grinding battles—but it still won’t unlock. I think I’m just going to have to give up on this one.

    • Yeah sadly the affinity trophy is extremely annoying & you honestly have no real idea which activity is “capped” & how much more you need for other activities. It really should have been a visible experience bar so players could avoid issues like this where they’re just completely at a loss of how to progress the trophy because they have no idea how much more they need.

  9. I think saving Noah is missable! The time travel warp leading to the Franz fight disappears after a certain point. I think you need to save Noah before ending the game. I don’t know the exact cutoff point. I was saving Noah for when I was doing the true hero boss fights and when I returned to the tower Lou made a comment saying their actions affected it and made it disappear. If Noah is missable then ending 3 is missable too. I have to load an old save

    Reply

    • Judging from other peoples timestamps. some have changed the past in MagMell after earning the 2nd ending. Are you able to see the bond on the map to travel to that period or on the Mistle list?

    • In which way? The 3rd ending is its own separate selection so its impact & progression don’t transfer back over to your playthrough.

    • Yes, Holly’s quests are not missable. Even if you complete her full narrative arc and close her bond to the past before Ending 1, you can still access the “Free Exploration Era” on Magmell Island. From there, you can complete her quests.

  13. The lycoris 2 bloodline is missable… change your info. If you don’t max out her first bloodline before completing Holly’s second Dairy Quest it’s missable forever

    Reply

    • The trophy already states that you can be done with any partners bloodline & that Lycoris becomes missable after completing the Undead Forest. Lycoris is mentioned by name specifically simply because it’s the easiest one to finish the trophy with since it’s only 2 blood codes.

  14. Please note that for Irreplaceable, affinity DOES carry over into NG+.
    Also, there’s a point of no return at the end of the game for several NPC’s and the ability to gift them items. This cucked me in getting Noah and Irreplaceable until NG+.

  15. Got 100% achievements on PC at exactly 60 hours. First time PowerPyx’s approximate time exactly matches mine lol.
