Castlevania Advance Collection

Castlevania Advance Collection PS4 Platinum Guide

Castlevania Advance Collection

PS4

The platinum takes you through four games, but the dangerous points cluster around a few encounters. Keep saves before Legion in Aria and before the Dracula X branches. Start with the main endings of Circle, Harmony, and Aria; the special-name saves come afterward.

This PS4 collection covers Circle of the Moon, Harmony of Dissonance, Aria of Sorrow, and Dracula X, known as Vampire’s Kiss in Europe.

  • Trophy set: 49 trophies on PS4
  • Collections: DSS cards, Juste’s furniture, and Soma’s souls
  • Assists: Collection rewind and quick saves

Finish Circle of the Moon and its DSS cards

Clear Nathan’s bosses as you explore, picking up DSS cards along the way. Use the encyclopedia to match a missing card to its enemy, then repeat that room instead of rerunning a whole area. After the ending, use FIREBALL on a new file for Magician Mode and finish that run too.

  • Collect the cards on Nathan’s file; do not confuse drops with cards already available in Magician Mode.

Track furniture, relics, and bracelets in Harmony

Keep castles A and B separate when searching for furniture and Dracula’s parts. For the best ending, collect all six parts, reach the center of castle B, and equip JB’s Bracelet and MK’s Bracelet before fighting Maxim. Continue to Dracula Wraith afterward. Check optional bosses while revisiting areas for furniture.

  • After the ending, create a MAXIM file and complete that route too.

Prepare Aria’s true ending and Legion’s soul

Remove every outer shell segment from Legion before attacking its core. Killing it while part of the shell remains can cost you its soul on that file. Before fighting Graham, equip the Flame Demon, Giant Bat, and Succubus souls to open the branch leading to Julius and Chaos.

  • Keep a save before Legion until its soul appears in the log.

Complete the soul collection and the Julius file

Compare your souls to the bestiary and return to rooms that spawn the enemy you need. Hammer’s Soul Eater Ring helps with rare drops; before buying it, prioritize enemies already on your route. After clearing the story, create a separate JULIUS file and use a few bosses to build his strength before Graham.

  • Do not overwrite your collection save while playing the alternate mode.

Rescue Maria and Annette on one Dracula X run

Pick up the key in stage 3 and keep it for the route rather than replacing it with another subweapon. In stage 4, use it for Maria and find the route to the alternate stage 5, where Annette is held. Keep a save before taking the branch so you can recover a wrong turn.

  • Confirm both rescues, then beat Dracula for Richter is Back.

Frequently asked questions

Does the collection have four platinums?

No. A single PS4 list contains trophies for all four games, with each game covering part of the platinum.

Can I use rewind?

Yes. The collection’s feature helps you retry; still keep a save before Legion and the Dracula X branches.

Does Dracula X use the same route as Rondo of Blood?

No. Dracula X uses the stage 3 key route for its rescues; do not follow the Castlevania Requiem rescue map.
