Welcome to trophy guide for Code Vein! It's another Dark Souls type of game, this time anime styled and much easier. Personally, I died not more than 10 times, the fact that you can pair up with NPCs add to game being so easy. I will structure this overview in best pragmatic way i can.
Game has 4 endings. You need all 4 to unlock trophy for all endings. For this, you need minimum of 3 playthroughs. I will mention here what are the Successors and reference on them in next steps.
List of successors and their location:
Boss in Cathedral of the Sacred Blood (Successor of the Ribcage)
Boss in Ridge of the Frozen Souls (Successor of the Breath)
Boss in City of Falling Flame (Successor of the Claw)
Boss in Crown of Sand (Successor of the Throat)
Trophies to have in mind while playing to avoid grind
You need to learn 150 gifts (on every blood code you can unlock skills on save point which extends with collecting vestige parts). Do this often. You also need to master 50 of them, which is when you equip blood code and skills that can be mastered. Defeating enemies you level them to max - Code Vein - All Vestige Parts Locations
Collect all Vestige Parts as you go through dungeons, you will need to restore them all.
Reveal all mistles to make your life easier.
Exchange Valuables with your friend and collect Presents from save point. You will need 30 Presents which took 2 playthroughs for me. Code Vein - Gifts Guide
You need to upgrade weapon and armor to level 10, so try to level up one type to make your life easy. Although its very easy to farm materials, why to do it if you can escape it?

Step 1
You want to make your first playthrough go towards the best ending, but without restoring any Eos Vestiges. Let me explain. Before every Successor, in that area, you can find Vestige parts. In Cathedral of the Sacred Blood you collect Isis Vestiges, in Ridge of the Frozen Souls Fionn Vestiges, in City of Falling Flame Scathach and in Crown of Sand you will find Harmonia Vestiges. In front of every boss there will be Io clone standing. You need to restore all corresponding Vestiges to Io there and then beat the boss so you can Restore Memory of the person behind it. Doing that for 4 Successors will open Dweller in the Dark which is a good ending.
IMPORTANT - Alongside of that, after beating every successor boss, if you expect place where Io clone was standing, you can find Eos Vestige there. If you defeat last boss without restoring all Eos Vestiges, you will not unlock true ending (just another variation of good ending).
Summary - For your first playthrough restore all 4 successors, DO NOT restore (do not even pick up Eos Vestiges) before beating the last boss. When you do, game will save and load on Mistle before last boss. Now go and collect all Eos Vestiges, Restore them (restore what you can to Io in front of elevator leading to last area and what you cannot to Io in Home Base) and defeat final boss again. This will grant you 2 endings in 1 playthrough, making only 2 of them left to do. Go to home base, start you new play and you can keep the same difficutly which will make your life easy.
Step 2
Start new game plus, you carry your blood codes, regeneration factors, all equipment, all gifts, items, gifts, valueables to give to NPCs. Vestige part DO NOT CARRY OVER.
Since you also need all Blood Codes for trophy, have in mind that some are missable (LINK HERE). If you followed the step 1 and restored all successors on first playthrough, you will have 4 Blood Codes specific to that scenario. Now, make your second playthough towards Heir ending, a bad one. For that, you CANNOT restore successors. For that, you cannot restore corresponing vestiges to Io clone before every successor boss. To be safe, do not even pick them up. Doing this will kill successors and you will get other pair of Blood Codes you will need plus you are ready for bad ending. Eos vestiges do not count in this case so just run and finish the game.
Step 3
Last run require you to restore 1 or max up to 3 successors while 1 must NOT be restored. That will lead to neutral To Eternity ending.
At this stage you probably only miss "Raise your reputation as a companion to rank 30" trophy, which is only online trophy and require 10+ hours of grinding Medals. Check description under that trophy for best tactics.
Enjoy the game and see you on the platinum side!
After obtaining a Blood Code, it comes with some skills (gifts). You unlock new skills by restoring vestiges from vestige parts, therefore extending skillsets on Blood Codes. You need to learn 150 to unlock trophy (default ones that comes with Blood Code does not count). You learn skills on Mistles by converting your EXP point to unlock skill.
For this trophy you need to unlock 4 endings:
Dweller in the Dark (good ending), Heirs (bad ending), To Eternity (neutral ending) and Secret Ending. Check details in endings topic.
In each area (dungeon) you will come across Vestiges (red crystals) that you can pick up and restore by talking to Io at Home Base. Restoring all of them grants you the trophy. Take into consideration that some Vestige Part are found only in Depths, so you need to do that part as well.
Code Vein - All Vestiges Guide
Code Vein - All Depths Map Location
You can find Depths Maps on your journey that unlock Depths levels in Home Base by talking to Davis (big knight character). He will give you option to enter the level of the map you bring back to him.
You will need to enter all maps to unlock this trophy. I unlocked it as soon as i entered last 12th map, so it seems it's not required to 100% all the maps.
Activate all Mistles in all dungeons. Rotten Mistles also count (basically you need to 100% all maps). You do NOT need to explore and activate mistles in Depths.
During your travels and exploration you will be accompanied by some characters. Just by running, picking up items, exploring etc - those characters often comment something. After 50th time, trophy will pop.
Easy way is to take Yakumo or Lois from Home Base (which you should be doing anyway) and just explore with them. This is almost automatic unlock.
You need to pick up 30 Presents from Mistle (where you level up etc.). To speed up the process, give Valuables to NPCs in Home Base, receive gifts from them and keep checking save point often. There is a lazy method - give all the gifts you can to few characters, exchange all low cost items from them, teleport to some dugeon and leave your game for some time. Check save point and collect Presents. Important notice - progress cary to new game plus, so you can collect through multiple playthroughs.
This will possibly be your last trophy. It is very grindy and require you to collect 400 Marks of Honor. You are rewarded with those if you help some player defeat a boss or vice-versa.
If you open your menu, there is a multiplay icon. Inside, you can Send or Search for distress signal. Sending means you will call someone to help, and search is if you want to help someone. The whole idea is to find the best place that spawns bosses, call or visit someone and kill them so you both get required item. You will need 400 to reach level 30.
How i did it - First both you and your coop friend should finish Den of Darkness Depths map at least once. After that, enter Den of Darkness Depht Map again and set up a passcode and remove region restrictions from your network in-game settings. Pair with some friend and tell him to enter the same map. Send distress signal, let him search for it and join you. When he is there, defeat all 3 bosses (first 2 side bosses and then the real boss). Now your friend will be sent back to his map, where he sends signal and you seach and join him. Repeat in that session what you did in yours. Now both leave map and go to home base, from where you enter same map and repeat the whole process.
It takes 6 minutes to do both sessions, so that's 1 medal per minute. This method will take up to 7 hours to grind out to level 30. Good luck!
After obtaining a Blood Code and equipping it, you can assing support and attack skills. By defeating enemies or using special items, you can master the skill from Blood Code and you can use it even when you have another Code eqipped. You unlock new skills by restoring vestiges from vestige parts, therefore extending skillsets on Blood Codes. You need to master 50 to unlock trophy.
Equip all types of weapons in either slot for your weapon/s. During your journey you will collect many weapons and equipping all types should happend very early:
One-Handed Swords
Two-Handed Swords
Spears, Halberds, and Polearms
Two-Handed Hammers
Bayonet Rifles
Blood Veils are your armors. Simply equip each of type onto you to unlock trophy (you should pick up of those very early in the game and many many more during your journey):
Ogre
Stinger
Hounds
Ivy
You will need minimum of 2 playthroughs to collect all Blood Codes. I made a video explaining how to get all, be sure to check it out.
