)Introduction
Welcome to the SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V: Vengeance Trophy Guide! Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is a remaster of the Switch game from 2021, with tons of new content and even a completely new story, with 2 new endings. When you start a new game you’ll get a choice to take the girl’s hand or to not take her hand. If you choose to not take her hand, you’ll be on the Canon of Creation story path, which is the story from the original game on the Switch. If you choose to take her hand, you’ll be on the Canon of Vengeance story path, which is the newly added story with this version of the game. The game will require a total of 6 playthroughs due to locking certain stuff like Demon Fusions and Virtual Trainer Battle missions behind completing each ending, so it is quite a time investment, especially for newer fans to the Shin Megami Tensei series as it will be a long road to Platinum.
Step 1: Canon of Creation Neutral True Ending with 100% Completion [60-90 Hours]
You’ll want to start by doing the Path of Creation true ending as this is the most involved ending, and is a step in unlocking one of the superbosses. Getting this ending has a lot of steps, so you’ll want to follow the Endings Guide to make sure you get it.
While going for this ending, you’ll want to try and 100% everything you can. This means all Collectibles and all Subquests. You can skip completing the Subquests “Return of the True Demon” and “Guardian of Tokyo” and do those on another playthrough if you’re struggling to beat the Superbosses on your first playthrough.
You’ll also want to make sure you get the Neutral path exclusive demon, called Danu, by talking to Maria in Empyrean when you have the Seed of Life. In order to get the Seed of Life, you’ll need to get 75% Demon Compendium completion and then you’ll get it from Sophia while you’re in the World of Shadows.
After completing the game, make sure you save your ‘Clear Save Data’ which you need to start New Game+.
Simply follow these guides to get everything possible on your first playthrough:
- Endings Guide (do “Canon of Creation” ending)
- Collectible Guide
- Subquests Guide
Step 2: Canon of Vengeance Law Ending [3-8 Hours]
Load your Clear Save Data, making sure to choose the “Reborn” option so everything transfers over, then choose the Canon of Vengeance path this time. During all your dialogue choices, you’ll want to pick the first option to make sure you get the Law alignment for the end of the game.
You’ll also want to make sure you get the Law path exclusive demons, called Maria, by talking to Maria in Empyrean when you have the Seed of Life, and Michael, by completing the Subquest “The Holy Ring“, then talking to Melchizedek in Empyrean, then finally talking to Michael on the top floor of the Temple of Eternity to get the Subquest “The Seraph’s Return“, which will unlock him afterwards. There is also 2 other Canon of Vengeance demon you’ll need to unlock. Armaiti, which you’ll unlock for fusion after completing Subquests “Guide to the Lost” and “Devotion to Order“, and Saturnus, which you’ll unlock for fusion after completing the Subquest “God of Old, Devourer of Kin“. Neither of these fusions are locked behind any specific ending on the Canon of Vengeance route, so if you miss either of those 2, you can get them on your next Canon of Creation run.
Since you also cleared the Canon of Creation True Ending, you should also have access to the Satan superboss towards the end of the playthrough, but if you’re struggling to beat him you can do this later. You will however have to defeat him in order to unlock Godborn, so you’ll only have one other chance to beat him while going for the Canon of Vengeance Chaos Ending if you choose not to fight him now, unless you go for a 7th playthrough.
After completing the game, make sure you save your Clear Save Data once again so you can continue again in New Game+.
Step 3: Rest of the Endings, except Canon of Creation Law or Canon of Creation Chaos [6-12 Hours]
Now with 1 ending on each path completed, it’s time to load your Clear Save Data and do the other endings. You’ll want to save the Canon of Creation Law or Canon of Creation Chaos ending for last because of the next step. It doesn’t matter which, so choose whichever.
Remember to grab the Chaos alignment exclusive demons when you’re going for one of the chaos endings, called Inanna, by talking to Maria in Empyrean when you have the Seed of Life, and Belial, by completing the Subquest “The Holy Ring“, then talking to Nebiros in Empyrean, then finally talk to Belial on the bottom floor of the Demon Castle/Shaken to get the Subquest “The Red Dragon’s Invitation“, which will unlock him afterwards. You’ll also want to make sure you get Armaiti on the Canon of Vengeance path by completing Subquests “Guide to the Lost” and “Devotion to Order” if you didn’t already do that in Step 2.
Make sure you also defeat Satan during your Canon of Vengeance Chaos Ending to unlock Godborn mode if you haven’t already defeated him.
Remember to keep saving your Clear Save Data after finishing an ending and reloading it until you’ve completed 5/6 of the Endings.
Step 4: Canon of Creation Law/Chaos Ending on Godborn Mode [2-4 Hours]
Now that you’re overpowered and hopefully are level 150, along with your select choice of demons, it’s time to do the last ending on Godborn, as well as unlocking the Godborn exclusive demon, Lucifer. You can also play on Safety difficulty and absolutely blast through the playthrough.
Once you unlock demon fusions, you can visit the World of Shadows and you’ll unlock the Lucifer fusion, which will allow you to fuse not only Lucifer, but also Satan, which should be the last 2 demons you need for 100% Compendium if you’ve fused everything up to this once.
Step 5: Virtual Trainer Battle [3-5 Hours]
Now with every ending finished, you’ll have access to all the Virtual Trainer Battles. You’ll need to start another new game and progress until you’re back in Tokyo so you can access the Virtual Trainer Battles.

The Will of the Godborn Decided the fate of a merciless world wrought with terrifying foes. |
|
| This trophy unlocks after completing the game on Godborn mode. In order to unlock Godborn mode, you’ll need to defeat Satan first. You can refer to the SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V: Vengeance – Superboss Guide for more information on defeating him.
Godborn raises the level cap to 150 and will raise the level of all enemies to 150 as well. You’ll want to make sure you’re level 150 before you start Godborn, so it’s a good idea to make sure you stock up on Gospels from the Kushi Mitama’s as you go through the different endings. Once you’re ready for Godborn, you’ll want to do the Canon of Creation Law/Chaos ending that way you can also unlock the Lucifer fusion after clearing the game. You can refer to SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V: Vengeance – All Endings Guide to follow the steps to get either the Canon of Creation Law or Chaos ending. Thankfully, you can also play on Godborn mode on Causal or even Safety difficulty as it’s a completely different selection than the regular difficulty. |

Dig Two Graves Defeated Agrat’s projection twice. |
|
| This trophy is exclusive to the Canon of Vengeance path.
As you progress through Da’at: Shinjuku, you’ll eventually have to progress to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. Once you’re in the area you’ll slide down into a foggy area and be introduced to Agrat. While you’re in this foggy area, Agrat projections will randomly appear from the fog and attempt to attack you, which will start a battle. You’ll need to defeat 2 of these projections in a fight. They aren’t very difficult to beat, so there is no need to avoid them. If you progress far enough into the area, you’ll have to fight the real Agrat, which will lock you out of earning this trophy as the projections will no longer spawn after beating her, so make sure you have the trophy before doing so. |
||
 |
Mortal Hubris in Seven Agonies Defeated Ishtar without weakening her system of Magatsuhi at all. |
|
| This trophy is exclusive to the Canon of Creation path.
Once you’re nearly to the end of Da’at: Chiyoda, you’ll encounter a Decarabia that will warn you about Ishar’s Magatsuhi system. He’ll ask for 20,000 Macca for information on Ishtar 2 separate times, but you can just keep telling him to do it for free and he’ll tell you. In order to earn the trophy, you’ll need to not interact with a single one of the Magatsuhi pillars that he marks on your map and instead need to defeat Ishtar at her full strength. This is extremely difficult on your first playthrough because she will have 8 turn presses and has piercing attacks, so your resistance doesn’t matter. While it is certainly possible to defeat her this way on your first playthrough, it’s heavily recommended to do this on New Game+ instead when you’re level 99 and can just tank all her hits then steamroll her since you need to do multiple playthroughs for Platinum anyway. |

Battle-Hardened God Won a battle after triggering reinforcements four times. |
|
This trophy is actually a lot more difficult than it sounds. You’ll need to chain a total of 5 battles. The first battle, and then the 4 reinforcements. You’ll first want to get a demon with Riberama, which the earliest one you can get is Nezha Taizi at level 30. Attract Pipes also work. Afterwards, go to the Tamachi leyline in Da’at: Minato and head to the cave to the north where you accept the subquest “A Preta Predicament“. In the left cave there will be 6 Slimes. Make a save here and activate Riberama, then head towards them. Try to group them as close as possible before starting the battle to increase your chances of getting a chain battle. |
||
 |
Silver-Tongued God Recruited 30 demons through negotiation during battles. |
|
| This should come naturally as you’ll want to be recruiting every new demon you come across to complete the compendium. | ||
 |
Macca Beam Paid a total of 100,000 Macca through negotiation during battles. |
|
| This should come naturally as you’ll be recruiting a lot of demons through negotiation while working towards completing the compendium. Just make sure not to use the Gold Card and pay the amount of macca that the demons ask for until you’ve earned the trophy. | ||
 |
Omnipotent Strike Dealt over 9999 damage in a single blow. |
|
The easiest way to do this is by putting the following skills on the Nahobino:
Go to a low level enemy and start a battle. You’ll then want to use a charge, then use the Omagatoki: Critical skill, then use the Murakumo to do insane damage. Just remember that Murakumo’s damage scales in strength, so make sure you have a high strength stat.
|
||
 |
Press Turn King Struck enemy weaknesses during battle 100 times. |
|
| This should come naturally as you’ll want to be striking enemy weaknesses as often as possible to maximize damage. | ||
 |
Press Turn Usurper Managed to Evade, Null, Repel, or Drain enemy attacks 50 times. |
|
| This should come naturally as you’ll be doing a lot of evading throughout the game, and setting up your party to null/repel/drain the attacks of the boss you’re facing is always good practice. | ||
 |
You Ready? Used Magatsuhi Skills during battle 20 times. |
|
| This should come naturally as Magatsuhi skills are extremely useful and can turn the tides of your battle, so you should be using them as often as possible, especially during bosses to help increase the amount of damage you deal. | ||
 |
Talisman Collector Collected 36 different talismans. |
|
| » SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V: Vengeance – Collectible Guide | ||
 |
Periapt Collector Collected 21 different periapts. |
|
| » SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V: Vengeance – Collectible Guide | ||
 |
Eat Or Be Eaten Defeated a Magatsuhi Demon. |
|
| Once you reach the Hamamatsucho area in Da’at: Minato, you’ll get the tutorial of Megatushi demons. You’ll then be able to fight a Megatushi Slime, which can identified by its glowing red aura. These demons will be harder to kill and deal way more damage, but when defeated will drop way more rewards. They randomly appear as you explore, but the tutorial Megatushi Slime is a guarenteed spawn, so you can get the trophy as soon as you’re introduced to them. | ||
 |
Sharp Eyes and Sharper Blade Defeated a Mitama demon. |
|
| Mitama demons are a special type of demon that will drop specific things and can be extremely helpful for you. You can encounter them randomly in battle, through search points, or from their fixed locations. They will only have 1 weakness and will nullify everything else, so you either have to hit its weaknesses, use almighty attacks, or use a piercing attack. You can use a Spyglass to see what its current weakness is, as it’ll be random every single encounter. | ||
 |

 |
The Whims of Fate Triggered a fusion accident. |
|
| Fusion accidents are randomly occurring event where the demon you’re fusing will become a different demon. You can increase the chances of a fusion accident by fusing during a Full Moon, as well as getting the miracle Mutative Element, which will increase the chances by a lot. You can also turn it on and off on the Nahobino skill screen afterwards.
This will come naturally as you work towards the compendium as there are some demons that can only be gotten from fusion accidents. |
||
 |
Ever-Changing Essence Performed Essence Fusion 20 times. |
|
| Essence fusion is an extremely useful mechanic in the game to get skills on both the Nahobino and other demons that you normally would struggle to get on them, not to mention changing the resistances and weakness of the Nahobino. This will be a mechanic you’ll want to use frequently, especially late in the game when you’re building your end game team, so this should come naturally. | ||
 |
Conductor of Divine Providence Learned 5 Miracles. |
|
| Refer to the trophy below Architect of Divine Providence. |
||
 |
Architect of Divine Providence Learned 120 Miracles. |
|
| Miracles are an extremely important mechanic which can improve tons of different things. In order to get miracles you need to spend Glory at the World of Shadows, which can be earned by collecting Amalgams, given by Mimans, or from Glory Crystals. You can unlock more Miracles by clearing Abscesses.
Some Miracles are also locked behind specific endings and can then be bought in New Game+ once you load your Clear Save Data for 10 Glory. When loading your Clear Save Data and choosing Reborn, you’ll keep all your bought miracles, but you’ll need to clear the Abscesses again to buy the ones you ended up missing. |
||
 |
Seeker of Lost Children Found 100 Miman. |
|
| » SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V: Vengeance – Collectible Guide | ||
 |
Savior of Lost Children Found 200 Miman. |
|
| » SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V: Vengeance – Collectible Guide | ||
 |
Aogami Extraction Squad Examined Aogami husks 20 times. |
|
| There are only 15 Aogami husks in the game, however the trophy counts whenever you pick up the essence from the husk, even if you’ve already picked up that essence before. | ||
 |
Archaeophile Acquired relics from relic spots 400 times. |
|
| Relic spots are the vending machines that are scattered around Da’at. Whenever you walk by them, you should always loot them to work towards this trophy as well as earn some macca, which is really useful in order to complete the compendium. | ||
 |
Scholar of Idolatry Examined 19 different demon statues. |
|
| » SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V: Vengeance – Collectible Guide | ||
 |
Abscess Absolution Destroyed 24 Abscesses. |
|
| » SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V: Vengeance – Collectible Guide | ||
 |
Guardian of Glory Obtained 50 Amalgams. |
|
| » SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V: Vengeance – Collectible Guide | ||
 |
Scavenger God Examined Search Points 100 times. |
|
| In order you examine a search point, you’ll need a demon navigator first, which you can get from completing certain Subquests, or you’ll sometimes have one for story progression. The search points are marked on the minimap with a cat head icon and when you walk close enough to it, your demon navigator will hover over the spot and interacting with them will dig up what they found. This can be an item, a battle, or even a Magatsu Rail. Search Points give you a lot of extremely good loot and have a good chance of encountering Mitamas, so even after earning the trophy you should always check the Search Points whenever you’re near one. | ||
 |
A Humble Offering Given gifts to demons in a demon haunt 20 times. |
|
While in the Demon haunt, you can press  while standing in front of a demon in order to give them either a Simple Demon Box, or a Lavish Demon Box. You’ll need to do this 20 times. |
||
 |
True Blue Buddy Earned recognition from demons in a demon haunt 10 or more times. |
|
| In order to earn recognition from a demon, you need to have enough conversations with them at the demon haunt until you get a prompt saying they have the utmost trust in you. In order to have a conversation with a demon, you can either keep giving it gifts or just do battles/subquests until you get a notification saying they want to speak with you in the demon haunt. After doing that enough times, you’ll eventually get the dialogue mentioning they have the utmost trust you in. You’ll need to do this 10 times. | ||

Purger of Memories Experienced all virtual trainer battle sequences in Original Mode. |
|
| The Virtual Trainer Battle unlocks after you finish Da’at: Minato and can be taken on by talking to the Researcher in the Terminal Room of the Tokyo Diet Building. You’ll need to clear all the fights in the consecutive battle category to unlock the trophy. You don’t need to do any of the normal battles.
All the battles are unlocked through story progression and by clearing all the endings. In order to unlock all the battles, you’ll need to clear all 6 endings and then start up a 7th playthrough. You’ll then need to progress until you unlock the Virtual Trainer Battles again, then you’ll be able to access all the battles. Original Mode is the exact same fight as you fought during the story, so if you save these for way later on, the original battles will be extremely easy to take on as you’ll be way overleveled for them. It is however, recommended to do this earlier as they award you with different Balms upon clearing Original Mode on a battle for the first time, which can be extremely useful. |
||
 |
He Who Revels in Carnage Experienced all virtual trainer battle sequences in Challenge Mode. |
|
| This is the exact same as clearing all the Virtual Trainer Battles in Original Mode for Purger of Memories, except you’ll now need to clear them in Challenge Mode which ups the level of the enemies to 100. This means they’ll deal more damage as well as take less damage. The fights themselves will start the exact same with the exception of their stats being raised. It’s recommended to save this as one of the last trophies, not only because it takes all 6 endings to unlock every fight anyway, but so you’ll have higher stats to take on these fights.
It should be noted that you do not have to clear the Level 200 Challenge Mode. You only need to clear the Level 100 Challenge Mode on every Virtual Trailer Battle in order to unlock the trophy. If you’re struggling on completing some of the Challenge Modes, you can complete them on Safety difficulty, or come back once you’re level 150. |

ACE says
Anyplaces to back up saves to save time Like in 3 remaster ?
ObsiEez says
Sadly there isn’t since you need to have everything done on a single save to unlock a majority of stuff, like all the Virtual Battles for example need all 6 endings done on the same save.
evinhomf says
It seems to be very complicated and many things can easily go wrong, with many pages to keep checking during the game, any chance of an all-in-one walkthrough?
ObsiEez says
Chances are there probably won’t be since it seems complicated at first, but it’s actually pretty straight forward with only a few things to keep an eye on. As long as you keep on eye on which ending you’re going for, you’ll be fine. You can grab every single collectible directly before fighting the final boss & a vast majority of the quests can also be completed at that time.
Finito says
Thanks so much for the extensive guide. If you could clarify one thing: is it possible to start on the Canon of Vengeance path first without adding more overall playthroughs towards the platinum. I understand you need to do CoC Neutral True Ending to unlock Satan in CoV which then also unlocks Godborn mode. I just want to double check if starting on Vengeance has other demerits besides missing out on the drain physical demon which makes things easier. I think most fans that played on Switch want to experience the new path first.
ObsiEez says
You can feel free to start on Canon of Vengeance if you like. That just means when you do the second Canon of Vengeance ending, you must kill Satan on that run or else you’ll have to do another playthrough to defeat him. The Canon of Vengeance path I would say overall is also harder to do on your first playthrough due to some of those new bosses being a lot harder in my opinion than the Canon of Creation bosses, but it’s still very doable, especially if you decide to play on easier difficulties
Sekai says
Thanks for this guide! I was wondering how Godborn exactly works, could you elaborate the following bit?
“Thankfully, you can also play on Godborn difficulty on Causal or even Safety difficulty as it’s a completely different selection than the regular difficulty.”
If I understand it correctly this means that once you select Godborn you can also choose between Casual or Safety to make things easier?
ObsiEez says
Yes, you can choose Godborn & still choose Causal or Safety to make it easier as it’s a completely different selection right before you select your actual difficulty
Middle-Aged-Gamer says
Unfortunately, double platinum is only possible if you buy the game in the PSN store.
Unfortunately there is no PS4 disc version, so double platinum is out of the question for disc version collectors/users (unless you pay twice)
Tiawyn says
there is a PS4 disc, but it only released in Asia.
ymnik says
Did i understand correctly – for first playthrough we have to do all possible subquests, for other playthrough we need only exclusive subquest for this path?
And we need to choise only options in dialogues that corresponding the name of paths(1 – neutral, 2 – law, 3 – chaos)
And i didn’t understand how can i make subquests for example for neutral ending in order to get exclusive domons if we already did this quest in first step – neutral true ending. Cause this quests are exclusive for neutral path.
Seth says
Yeah this is what’s confusing me too I don’t get it lol
ObsiEez says
For Playthrough 1 on Canon of Creation Neutral, try & go for 100%. Do all Subquests, all collectibles, stuff like that. The choices for this playthrough don’t matter since Neutral doesn’t have any alignment specific demons.
Playthrough 2 for Canon of Vengeance: Law/Chaos (You can do either of these honestly), you’ll want to do the specific Subquests that unlock Demons. As for your alignment choices, picking all the top choices will result in the law path while picking all the bottom choices will result in the chaos path.
All quests refresh in NG+ so you can do them all again. Hope that clears up some of the confusion
Asakura says
Can i play CoV first time even without playing the original? Some people say to play CoC first to understand, other says you can start with CoV and still understand
ObsiEez says
You can play either path first honestly as their stories are very different. If you haven’t played the original I personally recommend starting with CoC, but if you want to start with CoV, you’re perfectly able too without confusion
Shinzo says
I’m a little confused. This page has Creation Law or Chaos as the final (6th playthrough) while the “all endings” page has Vengeance Chaos as the final one.
What would be the best order to do the 6 playthroughs for platinum and wich one is gonna be Godborn ?
PowerPyx says
I was moving them around a bit when I edited Endings guide last night. Order is all good now and matches the Roadmap. But technically you can do them in any order anyway.
Luna says
How bad ps4 version runs on ps5?
ObsiEez says
PS4 version runs fine on PS5, just loads a little bit slower
Ginker says
I can play easy difficulty?
ObsiEez says
Yes, you can do the entire platinum on the easiest difficulty
dudedood says
what difficulty should I pick to start out with?
ObsiEez says
That all depends on if you’re looking for a challenge, or an easier platinum. Safety makes the game extremely easy so if that’s what you’re looking for, start with that. If you want the game to have some more challenge to it, go with either Normal or even Casual which can over some challenge, especially early on
Ezieus says
Does the ps4 version runs at 60fps on ps5?
Nikki_boagreis says
Sorry if this isn’t the place to ask, but I was wondering if you guys will be doing a “Monster Hunter Stories” trophy guide and roadmap. You guys did one for Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter Rise, so naturally I just assumed a trophy guide would be available for Monster Hunter Stories.
PowerPyx says
One of my team members is working on Monster Hunter Stories 1 currently. Hopefully will be finished in next few days 🙂
Omen66 says
Is the guide for monster hunter stories been canned? Nothing up as yet and been taken from upcoming guides.
Pinesse says
Hello, dear PowerPyx team, are there will be 100% walkthrough guide like it was on Persona 3 Reloaded? God bless ?
ObsiEez says
There won’t be a 100% Walkthrough guide as until Persona 3 Reload, you can go back & do everything in the game as long as you don’t clear the final boss first. The only reason a vast majority of the list is missable is because once you beat the final boss, you make a Clear Save Data & loading that will start a new game
RaidenDP says
Wait, if one playthrough takes about 40-60 hours normally, how come some of these steps only take a few hours? Like the first CoV playthrough taking 3-8 hours and the last CoC playthrough taking 2-4 hours. Surely even if you’re skipping through the cutscenes and destroying enemies with auto battle it can’t take just 2-3 hours to beat the full 40-60 hour experience? Am I missing something?
ObsiEez says
You can run straight through pretty much every area avoid every battle that isn’t mandatory in NG+. The reason for the majority of the time in the base version is going for 100% & having to defeat regular enemies to make sure you’re leveled correctly (unless you’re on Safety, which then it doesn’t really matter if you’re underleveled).
When in NG+, you can skip every battle, every quest, every dialogue, every cutscene. All this combined makes it extremely fast. The only reason the first CoV playthrough is a bit longer is assuming you’re watching cutscenes & enjoying the story from that path, while still skipping all battles
Jake says
For playthrough 2 can I play on newborn mode so I can enjoy the challenge of the new story?
ObsiEez says
Sure, you can do that playthrough on Newborn
TidusTheGame says
Aogami Extraction Squad seems to be playthrough specific. I’m on playthrough 4 and still haven’t gotten it and I’ve made it a point to use the souls to I can pick them up again in subsequent playthroughs.
MRR says
Does “Macca Beam” carry through to NG+? Just finished the True Neutral Route and did it 100% and still don’t have that Trophy.
Also the Achievement on Xbox is only “Spend 10,000 Macca during Negotiations” unless one of the Lists is a typo or something (either Xbox List is wrong or the PlayStation one is, either way it’s BS if we need to do 10x the amount for no apparent reason ?)
ObsiEez says
I’m not actually 100% sure if the trophy transfers through NG+ since everyone who worked on it got it on their first playthrough. & yes, it is 100,000 still. The Xbox version is confirmed to be a typo as you still need 100,000 to earn it on Xbox as well.
Andre Shroyer says
Is there actually 400 vending machines I need to find our can I just keep going to the same ones in alternate playthroughs?
ObsiEez says
They refill after a certain amount of time, so just grab them whenever you see them. The trophy should carry over into NG+, but I haven’t personally confirmed myself since I got it in my first playthrough
middle-aged-gamer says
Is there a good farming/running route for the “Archaeophile” trophy?
ObsiEez says
There’s no need to farm it honestly. Just loot them every time you see them as you’re doing other stuff, like progressing through the game or completing subquests. They respawn after a bit so you can pick up from the same ones multiple times.
Binario8 says
For the compendium trophy there are 3 demons obtainable only via fusion accident(hare of hinaba,amabie and kinmamon)
Bruce85 says
Hi, I activated the miracle that increases the chances of errors in mergers, and I waited for the full moon. I have done many merges and 7/8 times there was an error but none of the ones you mention appeared. Is there a specific daemon to create that gives the “right error”?
Pedro says
does the Archaeophile trophy carry over to NG+ i mean do the relics obtained in the 1st playthrough carry over or does it have to be 400 in one playthrough ?
Wrouter says
This.
Pedro says
i’m sorry i did not get your reply does that mean Yes ?
XSYNX says
Im platinum now thank for the guide
Angelz says
Is there a way to deactivate Riberama after getting the Battle-Hardened God trophy?
ObsiEez says
It will run out at the next Full Moon, so you can just run around until it wears off
Ielf says
hi this guide need just 1 UPDATE
During Veng RUN he never say to you, you have to earn the demon Saturnus!!!!!!
how to get it
Subquest #109: God of Old, Devourer of Kin (V)
i have to run a 7th RUN in order to find this Demon……..
also they never mention about INCDIENT FUSION but this can be ok…….
but no info about Saturnus for my opinion is a BIG miss,and have to be update….
thank in case of any help
ObsiEez says
Apologies for that, I had completely forgot about demon. The roadmap has been updated
Slaughtermcgee says
Hey guys. Hats off to the person who wrote this guide. It’s been super helpful so again,thank you. I did actually find a super easier way to snag the ” Battle-Hardened God” trophy. I simply started my NG+1 run on hard and when I went into the cave where you receive the quest for the hungry group of Pretas and then went to grab an item in the same cave, you get ambushed by Slimes and is the introduction to the new mechanic. Before you walk to the item,use Attract Pipe (if you have leftovers from first run) and then initiate combat with the slimes and it happened, first try. Your guess is as good a mine, but I may have gotten lucky. Test it it out and I hope it’s an easy one rather than a RNG nightmare.
Andre Shroyer says
For the virtual trainer achievements, can I just load different saves for the endings to unlock them? Cause I have all the trainer modes(original and challenge) complete except for the CoC endings. I already have 4 saves for each ending, can I load each one to do the battle for that specific one and get the achievement?
ObsiEez says
No, they all have to be done on the same save to my knowledge.
John Doe says
Can you unlock Lucifer for fusion by defeating him in godborn mode on the canon of vengeance route?
Hazakurain says
I need to add a comment for this :
Archeophile (Find 400 relics), Aogami Extraction Squad (20 Aogami Husks), Macca Beam (100 000 Macca used in negociation), Scavenger Gold (100 items found) ARE NOT PASSED THROUGH PLAYTHROUGHS.
They ALL have to be done on ONE single route. The progress does NOT go in your next playthroughs.
Since I had the DLCs, I didn’t have to get a lot of relics to get money, luckily I kept a save of my first run for it. Same for Husks, since I knew I would go in a Murakumo build.
Jun says
Thanks fo the guide, like always, it’s amazing!
I have a question:
Why should your last playthrough on godmode be in CoC Law or Chaos ending?
I would like to do it in CoV Chaos. Is there any problem with that?
ObsiEez says
CoC is just an easier path to complete overall, which is why it’s recommended to do instead of CoV. But honestly you can do them in any order you wish & it’s completely up to the player.
Lsnake says
I am extremely grateful for this guide. Been following it for my Platinum run (on my last and sixth ending run now, with everything else done except the ending and the challenges, so it’s basically done now)
While I did have to use some other sites for small details (I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t get Inanna from Kali + Abdiel for example, it turns out it’s the Fallen version of Abdiel. Not a big deal though in the end when swimming in Macca). In any case, it’s not easy making a complete Platinum guide for a game like this
With 6 playthroughs, tons of missable and dependables and more. But by following your recommendations, it was much simpler than I thought despite seeming like a monumental task.
Thank you for your fantastic service.
