PS5
The first Code Vein II ending is a step towards platinum, not a cue to restart. The next endings appear in the menu as you finish the story and change the four heroes' fates. Open up the maps and spend upgrade materials on one item per category during the same playthrough.
PS5 base game. This guide covers Code Vein II and names endings and late-game areas.
- Difficulty: No difficulty mode required for trophies
- Missables: All three endings are accessible in the same playthrough
- Online: No online trophies
Use MagMell's time-travel bonds
When the story returns the ability to time travel, use the bond back to the Assault on MagMell in 2177 and descend to Franz. This is the first of the four decisions. For the others, follow the links between present and past: in the Sunken City, find the girl at the tower near the hilltop Mistle for the Shelter Key.
- Check the timeline decision trophies; travelling to the past alone is not enough.
Change Lyle's and Holly's fates too
For Lyle, speak to him at the base in the Free Exploration Era, then retrieve his rusted sword from the grave in the present. Use it to activate the Faded Bond. In the Undead Forest, talk to Monica at the greenhouse and find both Camilo remnants in the ruined town and the sanatorium. Follow the missions through to their trophy confirmations.
- Verify history has changed in MagMell, Sunken City, Corroded Scar and Undead Forest.
Continue from the menu after each ending
Defeat the encounter at Luna Racapis for A Hero's End. Select Continue from the menu: the new story leads to 2207 and the boss atop the Sealing Spire for Luna Fraterna. Once you have the second ending and all four decisions, select Rescue Lou and finish that route for Miraculous Bonds. Do not start a new game between them.
- If Rescue Lou is missing, review the four decisions before replaying final battles.
Track Map Jammers and hot springs
Prioritize Map Jammers in each region. Destroy them as you reach their subareas: the map trophy depends on unlocking those maps. Hot springs have their own objective, so visit them whenever you find the route. Compare the two lists before calling a region complete just because it is visible.
- Note detours to revisit when more time-travel bonds open.
Max out one item in each category
At Jadwiga's forge, distinguish regular weapon materials from special ones and concentrate them on one weapon. Do the same for a Jail and a bequeathed forma. Use Golden Nectar and Golden Blood Beads at a Mistle; they improve different aspects of Regeneration. Keep a partner in mind for affinity and check their highest-rank Blood Code.
- Check the extra weapon and booster slots and the list's one-off combat actions too.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need three playthroughs for the endings?
No. The first two advance the same route from the main menu; the third uses Rescue Lou. You can load the save from before Luna Fraterna for cleanup.
Can special weapons count for the upgrade trophy?
Yes. Regular weapons reach +20 and special weapons reach +5 with different materials. Max out one weapon; both routes are not required.
Can I postpone Blood Codes?
Yes, but if you choose Lycoris's shorter route, work on it before clearing the Undead Forest: you lose access to her afterwards. The trophy does not require a specific partner.
