Guerranera and the Trophy Hunters
PS4
The collection joins two very different routes. In Rondo, track stage branches and rescue the prisoners. In Symphony, keep a save before fighting Richter and check the map as you explore: taking the wrong ending or leaving an unexplored room can make cleanup much longer.
Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night share one 44-trophy PS4 list and one platinum.
- Trophy set: 44 PS4 trophies across both games
- Symphony map: 200.6% across the normal and inverted castles
- Mode: Offline; Rondo has stage select
Rescue the four prisoners in Rondo
Find the stage 2 key and open Maria’s room: rescuing her unlocks a playable character with a double jump and fast attacks. Use stage select for Tera and Iris in alternate stages 3′ and 4′. In stage 7, find the key and open Annette’s door before the final encounter.
- Mark Maria, Tera, Iris, and Annette along with the routes you visited.
Finish both branches and both Dracula clears
Reach Dracula with Maria and Richter in separate attempts. Then use the stage-select map to revisit unmarked alternate exits instead of restarting from the beginning. Set aside a short stage for the no-damage bonus; the 100% route does not have to be the clean run.
- Check the Rondo save for 100% after covering the alternate routes.
Save before the Richter fight
As Alucard, keep a save before the throne room. For the bad-ending trophy, defeat Richter without using the Holy Glasses. Reload, equip the glasses from Maria, and target the orb controlling him without killing him. The second route is the one that opens the inverted castle.
- Check The Wolves Have All Gone before committing to the inverted castle.
Map both castles and collect the relics
Map the normal castle and its mirror. Holy Symbol lets you explore underwater passages; small corners of vertical rooms can hide the last fraction of a percent. In the inverted castle, collect Dracula’s relics and fight Galamoth. Find the Sword of Dawn behind the wall above the inverted throne room and use its special move to summon all four warriors.
- Use the librarian’s enemy list to track bestiary gaps while checking rooms.
Start as Richter for Shaft
After Alucard’s true ending, keep the Clear file and make a new save named RICHTER. Practice his high jump and dash before entering the inverted castle: reaching the center is the difficult part without Alucard’s equipment. Fight Shaft in his room and check for the trophy after the ending sequence.
- Keep Alucard’s save separate for any leftover trophies.

Frequently asked questions
Can I finish the platinum with Symphony alone?
No. The collection platinum also includes Rondo of Blood rescues, branches, and both Dracula wins.
Should I kill Richter on the first attempt?
Do it from a preserved save for the bad-ending trophy. Then reload and hit the orb with the Holy Glasses equipped.
Why does the map go beyond 100%?
The target includes both castles. Check for 200.6% rather than completing only the normal castle.
