)Introduction
Welcome to the Scarlet Nexus Trophy Guide! This is a new original IP from Bandai Namco and the team behind Tales of Vesperia. You play as either Yuito or Kasane, two OSF soldiers with Psychokinetic powers that allow them to use objects in the environment to fight a mysterious force called Others. The trophy list for this game requires playing through both of their stories (they each have different events and perspectives on what occurs throughout the story of the game) and there are no missable trophies and everything can be completed after the two playthroughs are complete when you can switch between the two main characters on the same save slot.
Step 1: First Playthrough with the Main Character of Your Choice
The first step will be choosing which character you want to play through the game first. The two characters have different story events for both the main story and side characters. You can do as little or as much extra side stuff as you want during a playthrough, but it would be recommended at the very least to do all Character Bond Episodes when they appear and give new gifts to the party members each Phase as they become available to save yourself some time at the end. You need to see the highest level bond episode for both main characters with all party members, so you can save yourself some time end by doing them as you go (and you gain more abilities with the party members as you level their bond up).
Step 2: EX New Game with the Other Main Character
After completing the story you make a Clear Save, which can then be used to start EX New Game (New Game +) with your selection of main character (see note below Step 3 about clear saves). Even if you start EX New Game with the opposite character you keep all inventory and level, which means you can work on things like unlocking the entire Brain Map and completing 30 Quests on this second character.
Step 3: Cleanup
After you have completed the second playthrough all you might have left is the cleanup of some of the trophies that can be completed with either main character, such as giving gifts and unlocking the entire brain map. During the cleanup step after completing both playthroughs you are able to switch between playing as Yuito and Kasane on the same save slot, making cleanup between the two characters easier.
IMPORTANT: Clear Saves
Once you complete the story you are prompted to make a “Clear Save” which shows you have completed the story on that character. If you load this clear save it allows you to keep playing as the same character, with some more Quests available and the game acting like you are just before fighting the final boss. DO NOT SAVE OVER THIS CLEAR SAVE! You can only start EX New Game specifically off that clear save. If you want to do cleanup on the first character and then transfer the new progress to EX New Game OR save over the Clear Save you will have to fight the final boss again to finish the story and make a new Clear Save.

Companionship Reached Bond Level 6 with an ally. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| This trophy is awarded when you reach Bond Level 6 with any ally as either Yuito or Kasane. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Tightly Wound Bond Reached Bond Level 6 with all allies. |
 |
||||||||||||||||||||
| This trophy is awarded when you reach Bond Level 6 with all allies as either Yuito or Kasane. You don’t need to do this as both characters, it will be awarded when you do it with either character.
Bond Level with the party members is increased when you fight with them in your active party, do Bond Events, or give them gifts. If you have completed the story and want to raise the Bond Level as fast as possible the easiest way is to continually give them the gifts marked with the red heart in the shop menu. These increase bond level the most, and you can give repeat gifts as many times as you want to raise the bond level for the characters. Depending on how much you’ve fought with the characters I found it took 2 – 4 red heart gifts to raise the character’s Bond Level from 5 to 6. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Gifts Gave a gift to an ally for the first time. *Does not include add-ons. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| This trophy is awarded when you give any gift to any ally for the first time. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Gift-Giving Freak Gave all gifts to all allies. *Does not include add-ons. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
This trophy is awarded when you give all gifts to all allies on the same save slot. In the Exchange menu where you purchase gifts, you can see what items you have already given to allies by them having a checkmark beside their image in the menu. You can also check an overall list per character by going into Library > Characters in the pause menu and pressing  to pull up a list that shows what gifts you’ve given per charactercharacter. Some Gifts can be found in the environment from the green item spots or from completing some Quests, but all become available in the shop exchange menu when you reach Standby Phase 11.
Giving all gifts requires playing into the second playthrough with both main characters, as each one has unique gifts for all allies. The only shared gifts are the Plug-in Parallelization ones, which characters keep between playthroughs and can’t be given to a character again after the first time. You also have to give all gifts to all characters on the same save slot, meaning if you load the Clear Save from your first playthrough and continue playing there that progress won’t be taken over to the second character in EX New Game unless you fight the final boss again and make a new Clear Save. If you need materials for a specific item, you can mark the item in the shop menu with If you don’t give all gifts to all allies in the first playthrough before finishing the story you can leave it until the end of the second playthrough. Once you’ve completed both character’s stories you can switch back and forth between them on the same save slot, allowing easier cleanup between the two characters. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Kins Millionaire Collected over 200 thousand kins. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| This trophy is awarded when you have over 200,000 kins (the game’s currency) at one time, not cumulatively. If you don’t spend a lot of money during a playthrough you can end up with around 200,000 – 300,000 by the time you beat the final boss (100,000 of that coming from the final dungeon/boss fights alone). If you reach the end of the story and haven’t reached this money total yet you can save your game, then sell off all items in your inventory to reach the money total. If you need extra you can exchange materials for Visual Attachments, because those sell for much more than the raw materials do. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
The Place Beyond the Pain Used the SAS over 100 times. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
SAS (Struggle Arms System) is the abilities you gain from your party members by holding  , then any of the face buttons. This gives you temporary powers borrowed from your party members. Use this 100 times total to receive this trophy. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Master of the Psionic Space Finished off 50 enemies with the Brain Field. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
The Brain Field is an ability you gain during Phase 4 of Yuito’s story or Phase 5 of Kasane’s story, where you gain a Brain Field Charge while being in Brain Drive, then pressing  + to activate it. While Brain Field is active you are taken to an alternate area with all enemies, where you attack purely using Psychokinetic attacks and melee by pulling the items around you. Defeat a total of 50 enemies while in Brain Field to earn this trophy. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Other Nemesis Used the Brain Crush on Others 20 times. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Brain Crush is what you use to finish off enemies by pressing  when their crush gauge (the yellow bar below their health) is entirely depleted. They are temporarily stunned and the bulb pops out of their body and they have a large prompt. Defeat a total of 20 enemies this way to earn this trophy. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Power of Observation Successfully performed 20 perfect dodges. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Perfect dodges are performed when you press  to dodge an enemy attack right before it is about to hit you. This makes you temporarily invulnerable and allows for follow-up melee or Psychokinesis attack. Perform these 20 times to earn this trophy. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Mighty Soldier Defeated 1,000 enemies. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| This trophy is awarded for defeating a cumulative total of 1,000 enemies. Depending on how much extra fighting you do you might earn this during your first playthrough, if not it counts cumulatively with the second character as well where you will earn it during the playthrough. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
One Lost in Madness Ran out of time in brain field. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| You first gain the ability to use Brain Field during Phase 4 of Yuito’s story or Phase 5 of Kasane’s story. While Brain Field is active it has a timer counting down for how long you are able to use it, and you are meant to manually disengage it by pressing + again. If you don’t though and the timer counts down to 0 you will instantly lose all of your health and die (or be rescued by one of your allies), with the first time that occurs earning you this trophy. This must be done after the initial time you are introduced to the Brain Field ability, during the first time where you learn about it the game doesn’t allow you to run out of time and die, it forces you to manually disengage it. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Seasoned Psychokinesis User Performed 50 successful Special Object Follow-Up Attacks. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| Special Objects are ones in the environment that you grab by pressing and holding instead of normal objects which are grabbed with :r2:. After grabbing the object with you will have a quicktime interaction where you need to do something like move the left or right stick in a specific way or press a button to attack the enemy again. Perform these follow-up attacks 20 times to earn this trophy. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Receiver of Protection Initiated Assault Visions 20 times. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Assault Vision is an ally ability that you gain access to at Bond Level 4 with an ally. Randomly after certain attacks, you will receive a prompt on screen to press  + , which causes you to perform an attack using a vision of the ally it’s related to. Perform these a total of 20 times to earn this trophy. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Power of Nexus Activated 4 different Combo Visions in 1 combo. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Combo Visions are ally attacks that you gain access to when you reach Bond Level 3 with an ally. When you unlock them you can hold  + one of the face buttons to perform an attack using your allies’ ability in each for 60% of the SAS gauge for that ally. For this trophy you first need to reach Bond Level 3 with 4 of your allies, then use all 4 of their Combo Visions in a row against enemies. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Expanded Brain Functionality Learned all the skills in one of the Brain Map categories. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| The Brain Map is your skill tree in Scarlet Nexus and gives upgrades to every one of your abilities. It is divided into 5 categories (you start out with 3) with each category being related to a different aspect of your abilities. For this trophy, you need to unlock every skill in one category of the brain map. You can tell where the divide between each category is by the spots connecting the categories being a squiggly line, and every skill within a category being connected by the diamond shape.
Image above shows the split between the initial three categories on Kasane’s Brain Map. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Owner of an Excellent Brain Learned all the skills on the Brain Map. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| For this trophy, you need to learn all skills on the Brain Map in every category with either Yuito or Kasane. This requires reaching level 80 total with either character. The first playthrough depending on how much extra side stuff you do you should reach between level 55 – 60, then using EX New Game for the second playthrough you can continue from there using the other character, where you start at the same level and start off with all earned BP up to that point. If you reach the end of the second playthrough and still need to grind to reach level 80 the best way is to just run through the final dungeon again as it has the strongest enemies which give the most XP. Continually replaying floor “7. Memories of Impasse” seems to be the fastest, as it has a number of Chinery type enemies which can give upwards of 20,000 XP per kill if you can defeat the Chinery type enemies in Brain Field with a high multiplier. If you want to optimize as much as possible, using a Brain Field Gear item and activating Brain Field on the first enemy group on that floor seems to be the fastest if you have many materials to spare to exchange for Brain Field Gear. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Protect! Stopped in front of the OSF poster in the hideout. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| The OSF poster in the hideout is a poster of Arashi (you can see the same posters in Suoh City Ryujin Ward in various spots). The poster appears in the hideout once Arashi joins your party, which is either during Phase 9 of Yuito’s story where Kasane and the other members join you, or Phase 3 in Kasane’s story where Arashi joins your normal party. The poster is then located in the gym area (right side from standing at the entrance) around the corner. Stand in front of it for a few seconds to earn this trophy.
NOTE: The trophy doesn’t seem to pop when playing as Kasane until Phase 9 (same time as it would with Yuito), even though the poster appears for her much earlier.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Knowledge of the Past Collected all Mysterious Text Data. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| Mysterious text data is found in the Old OSF Hospital starting during Phase 7 of Yuito’s story. These appear as floating yellow pickups (like the green item pickups) and are found hidden along the path through the area. They appear in ascending order, so you can tell if you’ve missed one if you pick up one later in sequence (ie if you pick up 02 then 04, you’ve missed 03 in the area between 02 and 04).
Work Memorandum 01 – Floor 1, before going up the stairs
Work Memorandum 02 – Floor 2, in the cell with all the writing on the walls just after the first enemy group (teleport through the bars to enter)
Work Memorandum 03 – Floor 2, immediately before the first save point, there is a stack of boxes that this is behind.
Work Memorandum 04 – Floor 2, after the large room with enemies after the first save point, follow the walkway around the area to the dead end.
Work Memorandum 05 – In the same area, continue around the upper walkway to the room on the opposite side where you can teleport through the gate to enter the two smaller square rooms.
Work Memorandum 06 – After the second save point on Floor 2, go down the long hallway towards the enemies instead of towards the stairway with the objective, then enter the room on the right.
Work Memorandum 07 – Floor 3, teleport through the first gate on the right to enter a dead-end area. On the right side where the piles of items are you can throw the movable items out of the way to find this sitting inside them.
Work Memorandum 08 – Floor 3, teleport through the next gate on the right to get into another dead-end area, then go into the room at the end.
Work Memorandum 09 – Floor 3, when you reach the small walkway above the entrance area again go left to find a gate to teleport through to enter two small rooms.
Work Memorandum 10 – Floor 3, after going through the large room after the walkway above the entrance, go into the dead-end on the right of the hallway before reaching the save point.

Brain Field Expert Raised the EXP bonus to the maximum. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| During Brain Drive and Brain Field you gain an EXP bonus from attacking and defeating enemies. The max bonus in Brain Drive is 1.50x, then in Brain Field it is 1.80x, which is what is required to be reached for this trophy. Normal attacks on enemies increase the multiplier a small amount, with the largest increase being from defeating enemies using the Brain Crush finisher. The best way to earn this trophy would be to reach 1.50x in Brain Drive, then on a new group of enemies, activate Brain Field to reach the maximum multiplier. Multiplier holds as long as you are still in Brain Drive until it ends or you active and leave Brain Field. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Collector Used Item Exchange for the first time. *Does not include add-ons. |

Collection Freak Exchanged 100 types of items at shops. *Does not include add-ons. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| This trophy is awarded when you use the Exchange section of the shop and exchange for a total of 100 different items. The Exchange section of the shop is where you trade Enemy and Environment materials for various items such as weapons, visuals, and presents. Some items in the exchange section can still be purchased in the normal shop section for currency, but the Exchange section contains a larger number of Visual items and is the only place where you can buy gifts to give to all of the party members. While working on giving all gifts to all allies (67 items) then obtaining 100 Visual items you should exchange well over 100 types of items total. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Everyone’s Ally Completed a quest for the first time. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| This trophy is awarded when you complete one quest for the first time with either Yuito or Kasane. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Heroic OSF Completed 30 quests. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
This trophy is awarded when you complete a total of 30 quests with Yuito and Kasane. Quests becoming available to pick up from NPCs as you progress through the story, located in any of the four “safe” locations where you can find NPCs (Suoh City Ryujin Ward (Main Street & Sumeragi Tomb Grounds), Seiran City, Musubi’s, OSF Hospital). NPCS that have quests to give will be visible with a white diamond located on the map. Quests typically involve defeating specific types of Others in specific ways, with later quests involving harder Other types and more strict conditions you have to defeat them with.
Both Kasane and Yuito have unique side quests, with each having a total of 34 available to them by the end of the story. They both count towards the 30 for the trophy, which means there are a total of 68 side quests available to be completed. All side quests become available when you complete the story with either character, so if you wish you can leave this trophy until the end and just complete the easiest 15 with both characters. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Suppressor of All Enemies Completed the Enemy Compendium. *Does not include add-ons. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| The Enemy Compendium is located in the Library > Enemies section of the pause menu. Here you can view the items that enemies drop when defeated and locations where they can be found if you want to find some to defeat. You will run into all enemy types through the story and Bond Episodes, but will not be awarded until you are playing through as the second character because of unique enemies found in each character’s story. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Baki-s Everyone wore Baki heads. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| Baki Heads are a type of Visual item that can be obtained from the exchange menu about midway through the story. Purchasing one of them is enough (regardless of color) as you can put the same visual item on all characters. To earn this trophy you will need to wait until Phase 9 of the story, as you need to put them on all 10 characters, not just all currently available ones.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Link Expert Activated all Combo Visions. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| This trophy is awarded when you use the Combo Visions with all party members while playing as both Yuito and Kasane. This means that in both playthroughs of the story you need to use the Combo Visions for all 8 normal party members, then Yuito and Kasane’s Combo Visions which each other, for a total of 9 with both characters. Combo Visions are unlocked when you reach Bond Level 3 with an ally, then are activated when you hold + one of the face buttons to perform an attack using your allies’ ability in each for 60% of the SAS gauge for that ally. You can change what abilities are equipped to each face button in the SAS section of the pause menu. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Wheels Gone Wild Defeated 5 enemies with 1 bus. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Buses are a Special Object that can be found in the Kunad Highway area. When activated you jump on top of the bus, then steer it down the road allowing you to run into enemies. In the sections that you find these buses, they are typically directed down road sections where there will be a number of enemies in a row, perfectly set up for driving into. Defeat 5 of these enemies using one bus interaction to earn this trophy.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Helping Hand Revived by an ally for the first time. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| This trophy is awarded when you are revived by an ally for the first time. When your health reaches zero, there is a chance that an ally will save you from dying, partially restoring some of your health. If you find you are never actually running out of health, you can combine this when you earn the trophy One Lost in Madness for running out of time in Brain Field, as your ally can also revive you when this occurs. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Trusted Ally Initiated a guardian vision for the first time. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| Guardian Visions are unlocked when you reach Bond Level 2 with an ally. These occur randomly when you take damage and will cause one of your allies to jump in and absorb the damage for you. The first time this occurs with any ally you will be awarded this trophy. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
You Are Not Alone Saved inside the brain field for the first time. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| Being “saved” in the Brain Field is something that occurs randomly, and is different from if you ran out of time and were revived. After a certain amount of time passes in the Brain Field (normally occurs at 15 seconds remaining on the timer) you will be temporarily stunned and lose time. Sometimes when this occurs one of your allies will jump in and “save” you, which causes the stun to end immediately and restores some time to the Brain Field timer. There isn’t a specific way to trigger this, but it should happen over time while you re using Brain Field to defeat enemies. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Fierce Psychokinesis User Threw 100 objects with psychokinesis. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Psychokineses is the power that Yuito and Kasane both share, and is activated by holding  to pick up objects in the environment to throw at enemies. Throw a total of 100 objects to earn this trophy. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Cunning Brain Smash Defeated 3 enemies at the same time with Brain Crush. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| Brain Crush is the finisher move you can perform on enemies using when they have their Crush Guage depleted and are temporarily stunned. A somewhat important aspect though that the game doesn’t inform you of is that if you have multiple enemies in Brain Crush at the same time, you can perform it on all of them at once as long as they are all in your field of view.
For this trophy, you need to use Brain Crush to defeat 3 enemies at the same time. This is actually something that probably won’t occur unless you specifically try to do it, because there aren’t normally large groups of enemies that can be Brain Crushed altogether, and the Brain Crush window ends rather quickly. You can increase the window slightly by unlocking the “Brain Crush Chance Expand” skill in the Support tree, but you will still probably need to specifically go out of your way for this. One of the easiest enemies to do this on is likely Fuel Pool enemies, as they typically appear in groups of 3 and can be easily put in Brain Crush using Pyrokinesis SAS. A good spot to find them is in the Supernatural Life Research Facility > Museum Ruins area. There are a few spots where you find them in groups of 3, allowing you to get in multiple chances without needing to leave the area. Using Pyrokinses SAS and try to take them out as close together as you can, then position yourself so all 3 of them are in view before activating Brain Crush. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Friendship Revived allies 5 times. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
This trophy is awarded when you revive your allies 5 times total. When one of your allies runs out of health they will be knocked down, then you can go over to them and hold  to revive them and get them fighting again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Suoh Incident The Suoh Incident occurred. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| Story related, cannot be missed.
“The Suoh Incident” is the story events that occur during Phase 4 of Yuito’s story or Phase 5 of Kasane’s story, this trophy will be awarded once you enter Phase 4 standby with Yuito or Phase 5 standby with Kasane. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
One Will Gathered all party members. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| Story related, cannot be missed.
This trophy is earned right near the end of Phase 9 when you gain all party members for use at once with either Yuito or Kasane. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Fashion Debut Changed your Visual Equipment for the first time. *Does not include add-ons. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||

| This trophy is awarded for collecting a total of 100 attachment items. Attachments can be purchased/exchanged for in the Shop, earned as rewards for quests, or very rarely found as item pickups in the environment. Items marked a with * at the end of their name that are preorder/deluxe edition bonus items don’t count towards this total, it needs to be 100 items actually earned/purchased during gameplay.
More Visual attachments are unlocked in the shop as your progress the story. At the end of the game there are a total of 35 that can be purchased for normal money, then 209 (with some repeats from the buy menu) that can be exchanged for materials. If you leave this until the end of the game and just want to earn the trophy but not keep the items, you can make a save, then purchase items to reach the total, then reload your save. Purchasing all available items available for money costs 135,000 kins (assuming you’ve not obtained any through other means), then you can fill out the remaining number using the exchange menu. |

Thank you for the trophy guide. I’m glad Scarlet Nexus is getting positive reviews and that the Platinum trophy is reasonable. Hope to see a trophy guide for Tales of Arise (10th September 2021), since that’s also published by Bandai Namco and is looking good so far.
Will you guys make one for Mana Remaster?
Thanks for the guide. Will you be making a guide for NEO: The World Ends with You?
Guide looks great. I just played the demo today and put my pre-order in. Can’t wait to play the full game. Based off the recommended Platinum time, would you say each playthrough is approximately 20-30 hours?
Depending on how much extra running around you do during the playthroughs they are about that long yes. Second one shorter in NG+ just because you’re way over leveled.
This is a excellent guide! Thanks for making this guide, I can’t wait to play this tonight at midnight alongside with my beautiful new Cosmic Red Dualsense controller!
Quick questing about the “gifting” trophy. I just reached Phase 2 where you are introduced to gifting. I only had one gift that boosted my bond with Hanabi but had nothing for the other 2 characters and nothing in the exchange menu. I take it I need to keep progressing to find or unlock more and I shouldn’t be wasting time looking through this area.
Gifts have a whole category on their own in the exchange menu, every gift eventually becomes available in there to trade materials for as you progress through the story.
Does anyone can confirm if the game has autopop if we play first on PS4 and upload the save to PS5?
If not I’ll play this with PS5 version
Any update on this? I’m curious as well
Guys just a heads up, im playing the PS5 version and the game got stuck. I fought a particular boss in a snow area, defeated it, but the game didnt recognize it, so i cant progress, tried to reload the save file and even restart my console and it didnt work, make sure to make a back up save for this fight… Or you will have to replay everything again, like i will probably have to.
I think I have a good spot for the Cunning Brain Smash trophy.
If you head to Abandoned Subway: Suoh Line 9, there will be a group of 4 enemies. Take them out, and then head into the right circular entryway to the large open arena that’s ultimately a dead end.
3 I believe Rummy enemies spawn at once.
Run around them a bit so they come in relatively close, then summon the L2/LT item, the one that makes several metal beams spin about in the air. If you aim the camera at the three of them and they’re close, it should hit all of them doing major crush damage. Just stop waggling the stick when you think they’re done so you can aim and brain crush the 3 of them.
I just did it at lv25. Party members were set to evasive maneuvers. I have the upgrade to brain crush chance duration but I don’t think it was needed all that much. It’s an easy spot to redo if you fail, as you can simply warp back to your hideout and then back to that spot to reset the enemies.
This is the one! Area name is Inside Abandoned Line right in front of where you spawn. I got the trophy without the upgrade.
can’t get the protect! trophy to unlock. i have stood in front of the posters for several minutes and its not unlocking. any suggestions?
I posted below but in case you are also playing as Kasane: I had to wait until chapter 9 to get the trophy to pop, even though I could see the poster way earlier than that.
i got it early. Phase 4 i think.
I just stood in front of it. 10 seconds. Ran around the base if it didnt pop, stood again. Ding. Unlocked.
YOU DONT NEED TO BE PHASE 9.
Infected Elite, this trophy can be done by either in Standby Phase 9 for Yuito story or Standby Phase 4 for Kasane story.
Does Anyone knows where i can find the Keycard for Supernatural Life Research Facility?
I dont mean the Cards for Story progression. I mean for Luka Bondepisode 4 (Yuito Route). Cant reach the Door because it says outdatet Keycards. Looked now for over 1 hr but dont find a way in.
I believe that one is bugged and sometimes won’t appear, you need to close and reload the game to make it show up eventually.
You might’ve already found it, but in case you haven’t or for anyone else. It’s in one of the rooms (can’t remember which to be exactly or the floor, sorry) but its hidden in between boxes/scaffolding. I also ran around for a while and just happened to find it
Jeah Gage was right. It bugged for me 4 Times either is no Keycard spawned or just 1 and not the second.
It was just annoing.
Is anyone having trouble purchasing the standard edition on PS5? When i click on it I get an unknown error yet I can add the deluxe edition to my cart. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Are the plug ins (for increasing equipment capacity) required for the All gifts trophy?
I would say yes since they under present menu and each ally gets checkmark for first one you give them.
Yes
Protect! is not unlocking as Kasane, perhaps it is only possible to earn in Yuito’s playthrough? I won’t be able to verify that for a while but it may be worth mentioning.
As a follow up to this comment: Once I got to Kasane standby phase 9, I checked the poster again and the trophy popped. So even though you can see the poster early as Kasane, it seems you have to wait until chapter 9 to get the trophy.
I’ve added a note about that now, thanks. They must have set the trigger for it to be when you get all party members, even though the poster is there way earlier while playing as Kasane.
I struggled getting this to pop until i put the real life arashi also in view. Not sure if that was key but that popped it for me.
I got it before phase 9 with Kasane. I had to stand there a really long time though.
With the gifts, do you have to buy the plug ins for everyone as well?
Yes those count, as long as your actually looking around and picking up items during gameplay you get a bunch of them without needing to make them
Gift-Giving Freak
Do the Plug-In Parallelization Programs count for Gift-Giving Freak?
Yes.
Does anyone know how to get the gift-giving freak trophy?
For both my Kasane playthrough (which is new game+) and the Yuito playthrough (approaching the last chapter, chapter 12), I swear I have all gifts given to all allies, including plug ins (they have a checkmark above their faces when exchanging gifts) but I don’t know what I am missing. Do you have any idea what it could be?
On which Chapter are you with your NG+ Char? You have to get at least to Ch 11 because at that Time all Gifts are available. And you also need to gift the Items for the other Main Character. Also the Plugin Gifts.
This is definitely bugged for me also. Ive completed both playthroughs, the 2nd one being EX. I can see all characters including both main characters with 10/10 gifts on their character info, I’ve checked 3 times each present available at the shop and made sure that the tick is shown for all gifts for all party members on both main characters in the post game. All party members have their 3 equipment slots unlocked also.
I’m running out of ideas, guess I’ll see if gifting them again all gifts makes it pop, not sure if I’m willing to put all that work though. Or maybe you need max bond with party to pop (I still have some on 5).
I’m curious, do the Checkmarks also carry-over to NG+? Wanted to know so that I don’t have to note down which gifts have been given or not.
Also, do you happen to have a list of all the exclusive gifts per playthrough?
Yes they carried over.
We need a list of all the gifts. I’ve looked everywhere but there’s no gift list as of now.. I’m assuming if they all become available phase 11 we just need to reach that on both characters and buy everything.
This is a good question. I didn’t give all available gifts on Yuito’s story, and I cleared the game so I don’t know if I should go back to the clear save and farm the rest of the gifts or start Kasane’s playthrough and be able to get the rest of the gifts in that playthrough
Some Gifts are unique to one Specific Character. Could be the Case that you missed a shared Gift but could also be the Case that it was Unique. Just in Case i would go Back and gift all Gifts available for a Character until u start a NG+
Hi just a quick question I’m just finishing up my first playthrough with yuito, on phase 11 stand by, do all the gifts definitely become available by then? I’ve got them all ticks, I want do as much as possible on my first game so there’s less to do on new game plus, also do the gifts carry over to new game plus? Like the ticks next to their name etc.. that’s the only trophy I’m worried about, the rest are alright.
Both characters have different sets of gifts for party members the gifts that unlock plugin slot are shared though, but don’t be afraid since you can swapping between yuiton and kadane after completing both story to do some cleanup
Sorry but i dont understand the ”Clear Save” stuff. When i complete the story what should i do? What Clear Save should i not Save over, like what? 😅
It’ll make sense when you actually reach the point of making it. The warning is just to tell you not to save over the specific save the game gets you to make when you finish the story.
Amazing, Thank you Gage!
So i’m trying to do all the combo visions trophy…Do i need to use all 8 allies combo twice (once in each play through and the main characters 1 time each?
I used everyone + Yuito in my 1st play through and have only used Kasane in my 2nd one.
Yes with all party members with both main characters.
@Gage, thanks dude. Also a dumb question….in my 1st play through i never gave Yuito the Plug-In gifts….did i need to? I’ve given them to Kasane on my 2nd play through but i dunno if iv’e locked myself out of that trophy now
You can switch characters on the same save once you finish the second playthrough and clean up any gifts then.
Is it normal to get hardly any exp on your ex game? I understand you’re over levelled but I’m on phase 5 and haven’t levelled up once yet haha
Yes because it doesn’t actually scale enemy level at all, so you’ll probably only gain a couple levels before reaching the end of the game.
So I’m on Phase 11 on my 2nd character playthrough. I have given all characters the 10 gifts on both playthroughs, but no trophy. I have went back and forth on both saves to triple check and in the character menu, they all have 10/10. I have tried giving duplicate gifts to see if that worked, but nothing. Last bloody trophy I need has bugged. Fml
So I beat the game with Kasane, my second character playthrough, and in the hideout it let’s you swap main characters. Yurito still had a gift to give, even though on my cleared save with him, I had done it all. Gave the last gift and it popped!
It has to be on the same save, not on two saves. Finish the story with the second character then you can switch back and forth between the characters on the same save, then make sure you gave all gifts. You probably did the same thing as me and didn’t get them all before finishing first playthrough, so your clear save that NG+ was based off of didn’t have all gifts given with the first character.
What is the best place for farming exp? Done with both Charakters but im only lvl 66.
Just doing the last Dungeon over and over or is there a specific Area?
The whole Brainmap is the Last Trophy ive missing.
Floor 7 of the final dungeon, either running the whole thing or just repeating the first combat area over and over.
For link expert you mention 9 combos with each character, but Kasane is already part of the 8 face buttons, so how do you do the 9th one (is that the L2 + R2 combo)?
omg, nm. I was miscounting and didn’t realize Kagero was not part of my second wheel. sorry.
Kins Millionaire
Collected over 200 thousand kins.
In your guide you say “This trophy is awarded when you have over 200,000 kins (the game’s currency) at one time, not cumulatively.
On the True Achievement site, some one’s put a guide saying the 200k is cumulative, so you won’t need to hold the 200k to get this ?
Can you or some one else confirm which is correct please, as at the moment I’m trying not a spend anything unless i really need too. Thanks
If you’re worried about it, just make a save and then exchange for a bunch of visual items and then sell them to get to 200k then reload your save. It didn’t pop for me until I had over 200k in my inventory at once. I had a bought a few weapons prior so if it was cumulative it should have popped at at least 10-20k less than that.
I’d say that it would be cumulative, since I got the trophy popped up when I had 187k kins during Phase 11 Standby.
I cannot get the poster trophy to pop. I looked at it during every phase break as Yuito after it appeared, I’ve looked at it during every phase break during Kasane’s story up through phase 10. Still won’t pop. Any advice? I still have a save game of yuito from before his story was complete too just in case.
I finally got it but it took multiple tries of standing in various spots for various lengths of time.
Thank you for this guide senpai
Hi, guys
Any reason why the bond episodes trophies did not pop up for me? I have both playthrough completed and only the episode 5 of Yuito and Kasane pop up. The rest of the “cross” bonds didnt work.
In addition, the list of enemies trophy did not pop up either although i have played with both characters.
I refuse to think all of them are bugged :_(
Thanks in advance!!
It has to be on same save file, if you beat first playthrough with either Yuito or Kasane the game will ask you if you want to make clear save, you will have to do New Game+ using clear save.
I got this problem too… the last trophies Red Strings of two seems bug? Anyone help? I already complete both story but trophies just won’t jump out
I know this is late but I just achieved the Platinum trophy in Scarlet Nexus and it took about 51 hours and 22 minutes. Considering how slow I am when playing games, I think it’s more accurate to say it takes 50-60 hours to earn the Platinum Trophy for most people (not 50-75 hours).
