PS4 / PS5
Visions of Mana lets you explore after the credits, but one check cannot wait: Aeve Zalaha must be beaten on Hard. Keep a save before that fight. During the rest of the game, use Vessels to work through elemental collections and save the toughest ruins and postgame enemies for later.
Roadmap for the 45 Visions of Mana trophies. Chapter 10 contains the difficulty requirement to set before the fight.
- Required difficulty: Defeat Aeve Zalaha on Hard; you can change difficulty during the playthrough.
- Missable trophies: Save before Aeve Zalaha: defeating him at the wrong setting and overwriting the save may require another cycle.
- Online: No online trophies.
Unlock Vessels and mark backtracking spots
Follow the story until you obtain all elemental vessels. Activate each area’s meridian, open chests along the way and mark elementite that needs an ability you have yet to unlock. Return when you have the matching Vessel. Check the classes the Vessels unlock for Val, Careena, Morley, Palamena and Julei.
- Check the meridian record and the map before leaving a region.
Make Grizzly Syrup pickups count
Pick up Grizzly Syrup while travelling and trade it with Dudbears; Dubababa! tracks items received, not syrup left in your inventory. Look for Li’l Cactus in each area even if you already opened its chests. Exchange corestones for ability seeds for Keep the Change, and invest in an elemental plot until it is filled.
- Track Li’l Cactus, elementite and meridians as separate collections.
Combine Ancient Ruins with the Nemesis hunt
Once the party is equipped, visit the eight Ancient Ruins. Clear the enemies outside to open their inner rooms, where you find targets for Expert Exterminator. Some Nemeses are tied to side quests rather than open exploration. Check Death’s Portent, Menaces by the Manor and Devil in the Dunes, among others, and clear the Elemental Aerie challenges as well.
- Distinguish discovering a ruin from beating its Nemesis.
Open Chapter 10 and face Aeve on Hard
After Daelophos, load the crown-marked clear file and speak to Iain in Illystana to continue into Chapter 10. Save before Aeve Zalaha and set Hard before you start the fight. Prepare weapons and abilities at a lower setting if you prefer. For Rabite Season, return to the Distorted Sanctuary in the Mt. Gala area and look for Black Rabite.
- Confirm The Spawn of Calamity before overwriting your earlier save.
Fill the unusual bestiary entries
If Know Thine Enemy is missing after the bosses, check transformations and postgame encounters. In Dura Gorge, damage a Tonpole and let it turn into Lizardon before finishing it. Look for Shadow Zero-One on the Floating Isle of Ulul after the ending. Use the bestiary to choose the next target instead of repeating entire areas.
- Compare bestiary entries with encounters and transformations you have completed.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to play the whole story on Hard?
No. The trophy explicitly allows difficulty changes. Set Hard before facing Aeve Zalaha and keep it there for that encounter.
Do I need New Game+ to find Black Rabite?
No. Load the cleared save for the postgame. Black Rabite is separate from Aeve Zalaha and does not require Hard.
Are all side quests mandatory?
There is no trophy for clearing every side quest. Some are essential for Nemeses and bestiary entries, so check their targets as well as the ruins.
