Time required
20 hours (for low difficulty)
Special trophy
🏆“Sins of the Father” Rule the Netherbrain for Behar, destroy the world, and seize the Throne of Blood
🏆"Leave yourself to your impulses" Behar's ultimate weapon, become a killer
The above two trophies can be obtained by starting a new game with the origin character Dark Urge. 🏆In order to obtain "Sins of the Father," you also need to obtain "Surrender to Impulse," so it can essentially be considered one type of trophy.
General flow
It is more efficient to advance to the next chapter when it comes to leveling up. I think it's a good idea to think about it after you've progressed to chapter 3.If you get into a difficult situation, think about it. This does not apply to difficulty levels of "Tactical Village" and above, where supplies such as equipment and flame barrels are also required.
Start the game with Dark Urge
Proceed to chapter 2
Defeating Isobel in Chapter 2 "The Last Light House" (The Last Light House collapses) 🏆 "Leave yourself to your impulses" unlocked. The timing of unlocking is an event after the camp long rest
[Note] If you choose to protect Isobel in Step 3, you can also cancel 🏆"Leave yourself to your impulses" in Chapter 3 (Step 8 is the way to go: I went this route) Demasu = If you choose to protect the last Kotei, the difficulty level of the battle against Orin may jump up *1)
You should be aware of Chapter 3 "Gathering Friends". The final battle can be difficult depending on the difficulty level.
Proceed through Chapter 3 "Baldur's Gate Murder Case" and obtain "Amulet of Behar"
Defeat Orin (personally the most difficult)
[Important] After the battle with Orin, choose to accept Behar's gift (with Slayer). This choice becomes the decisive trigger for the ending trophy "Sins of the Father" *2
Defeat Gotash
Gather levels, equipment, and allies as needed and go from the sewers to the final battle
Fountain of Transition ~ Proceed in the direction of becoming a Nether Brain in a meeting with the Emperor in the astral world. The ending is usually bad🏆Same as "absolute power corrupts"
By choosing to rule the world in the conversation after defeating Nether Brain, 🏆 "Sins of the Father" will be unlocked
*1: If you destroy the last Kotei (defeating Isobel), you can obtain the Slayer transformation at this point. You can take on the Olin battle titan in Chapter 3 as a Slayer. On the other hand, if you protect the last Kotei like I did, please note that you will have to fight without Orin and the Slayer
※2:There is one thing that I could not verify, so please take care of it yourself. In my route
Start with difficulty level "Exploration Village (low difficulty)"
Chapter 2 Protect Isobel
Receive Behar's gift after defeating Orin in Chapter 3
Ending with evil route
I proceeded like this, but I don't know how Step 3 will change if I defeat Isobel in Step 2 and proceed.
Summary
There are three main ways of thinking
① People who missed some trophies in the first round
23🏆If you have missed "Rescue everyone", it is not suitable to collect it during Dark Urge lap. However, I didn't feel like it was absolutely impossible, but I think it would be difficult if you don't understand the whole situation.
If you miss out on companion trophies, there is always a chance that some of you will die. Due to Dark Urge's characteristics, events occur where he kills his companions due to his murderous urge. In terms of cases that happened before I cleared the screen,
Arafila (possibility of avoidance)
Isobel (avoidable)
Car rack (in order of favor?) (Can be avoided with dice)
Jaheira (may be difficult to avoid)
Therefore, this pattern requires some ingenuity, such as performing Dark Urge on a low difficulty level and passing the missed trophies on another round.
For example, Alaphila (the Tiefling songstress) is killed by the protagonist herself shortly after entering the Emerald Forest and entering a long rest. There are several ways to avoid this, but all of them seem to require ingenuity that you wouldn't do in normal play
Stun Alafila (non-lethal) before the event occurs
Don't take long breaks
The main story is that the bard is being targeted rather than Alaphila. Therefore, is it possible to lower the probability by hiring a bard?
The above is a possible solution, but it is not realistic as it requires a lot of effort for one Arafira person and there are so many other things to do.
Arafila on the right
②People who got most of the trophies in the first round (author's pattern)
There are two options in this case
Using difficulty trophy and Dark Urge together
Obtain only the Dark Urge Trophy on low difficulty
In my case, I purposely tried it on a low difficulty level because I wanted to verify that the "Tactics" difficulty trophy would be unlocked by clearing the "Confidence" difficulty. In the end, I thought that the low difficulty level of Dark Urge is not bad.
The reason is that the battle against Olin was quite difficult. If the game is on a high difficulty level, I think you'll have a hard time with this part.
[Verification results] I was able to clear the "Self-confidence" difficulty and also achieve the trophy for the "Tactical" difficulty at the same time.
Hey...
③ For advanced users who control the speed in one lap (or two laps)
Difficulty level "Exploration Village" + Dark Urge. Clear difficulty level "Confidence"
Difficulty level "Confidence" + Dark Urge
This is not a suggestion that I can generally recommend, but there are many people in this world who are extremely good players and people who are good at finding loopholes. I think this is also an interesting part of the game. It is also listed as an option for players who start later.
General notes
If the difficulty level is low, you can just progress through the main part
Author's configuration (range attacks are useful)
Dark Urge (persuasion/magic in general)
Will (my favorite is the mysterious ray)
Razel (6 attacks at level 11)
Gale (repeating magic)
If the enemy is weak, change Gale's place to Karlak. If there is an unlock/trap, change to Astarion. It lacks jumping power overall, so it's a good idea to have flight capabilities and fog crossing.
If the difficulty level is high, equipment, build, and level are necessary
The boss battle will be a fierce battle. You will also need a lot of supplies such as barrels and items for long breaks.
Which trophy?The plan will be different depending on what you missed
🏆The plan will be different depending on whether you are able to "rescue everyone"
Highly likely to be hostile to Jaheira
If you defeat Isobel in Chapter 2 "The Last Light Pavilion", there is a possibility that you will become hostile to Jaheira. Even if you are not hostile here, you will be hostile after Chapter 3 Orlin (if you received a gift). If you don't raise Jaheira's level, the battle will be at level 1, so you can easily defeat her
The battle against Orin is terrible
Personally, the most difficult boss battle. If you proceed with Dark Urge, it will be a 1v1 battle with Orin. I couldn't see a way to win the tie-man match, so I started with a surprise attack from a distance and managed to win.
Strategy examples will be explained later
The last battle will be easier if you gather some friends
I skipped the main game and progressed, so in the end I only had 3 friends. It was quite painful.
Nightsong (Dame Eirin) is a character that can be controlled, so I would like to have her as a friend
It is recommended that Mizora (Will-related demon) joins your party by following the same steps as unlocking Will's trophies. He also has a great skill advantage in the last battle. If you have obtained the Karlak trophy on the first playthrough, you can have a romance with your favorite character. It's a game that hits the edge of the PS5 rating, so if you're interested, you might want to give it a try
🏆“Leave yourself to your impulses”
Behar's ultimate weapon, become a killer
The achievement condition is one of the following:
Destruction of the Last Lighthouse (Chapter 2)
Receiving Behar's Gift (Chapter 3)
You can also unlock it in Chapter 3 if you missed it in Chapter 2 or want to leave the last Kotei at this point. Also, if you plan to obtain other trophies, some of them can be avoided by proceeding without destroying the final Kotei.
*There may be other patterns that can be obtained even if they have not been confirmed.
The destruction of the last lighthouse
Location: Chapter 2, Last Lighthouse
Period: Shadow's Cursed Land Arrival ~ Until Night Song is Released
The final collapse of Koutei occurs when Isobel is taken away or Isobel collapses
It will be easier to understand the connection if you take a long break before meeting Isobel on the second floor of the last Kotei and watch the event with Fer. Through this event, you will be offered a luxurious prize for killing Isobel
Isobel's first meeting "I'm only thinking about cutting you up and eating you raw!" is selected. This option won't appear unless you speak with Dark Urge. However, it is unclear whether this option will appear if you are not doing the Celeritas Fell event during a long rest.
Alternatively, take Markon's suggestion and have Isobel defeated and taken away. "You will come face-to-face with Kesselik."
In any case, if Isobel is lost, the barrier of ``The Last Light Pavilion'' will break, and the people will be cursed and battle will begin. After annihilating them, take a long break at the camp and Celeritas Fell will appear.
Obtain the Slayer form (transformation possible) with Fel, and the trophy will be unlocked after the meeting
Defeat Orin
Location: Chapter 3/Lower Area: Behar Temple
Time: After the Baldur's Gate murder incident (after obtaining the Amulet of Behal)
Hiii…
Battle Orin at Behar Temple. If you visit in Dark Urge, it will be a 1v1 duel. I didn't know how to defeat it with a tieman, so I went from a surprise attack to a battle with a party of four and won. I had a hard time even on the ``exploratory village'' difficulty level.
Author clear example
In the case of a party attack, unlike Taiman, Orin has an invincibility barrier of 7 (changes depending on the difficulty level, 12 in ``Confidence''). Therefore, rapid-fire magic�Useful.
[Invincibility barrier supplement]
Orlin's invincibility barrier is an image of seven barriers with HP 1. Continuous attacks are more effective than one big damage
Dark Urge: Magic arrow (the one with the red icon in the force field, not a lightning bolt)
Will (Mysterious rays/summons are also useful)
Gale (Magic Arrow)
Razel (3 attacks + α at level 11)
It's different whether you have "acceleration" or not, so if you have it, you'll want to use it.
Start by inflicting damage from the north side. I want to use Rayzel's "furious action" right here when the barrier is peeled off
Those performing the ritual at the round table will be left behind. It's troublesome to have enemies slow down and daze while moving around, but give Orin priority. If you complete the answer first, you can get a helmet that is completely resistant to dimness, so you can consider it.
Orlin will fly to the north, so I want to spread out in advance and keep it to no more than two people at a time.
After Orin was defeated, those who were performing the ritual started to join the battle. He will use invisibility, so use a wide range of magic from the high platform on the north side. Be careful if the ally in the center gets hit as there is a possibility of death
Pattern when playing in confidence mode
This was relatively easy. 11th level recommended
The opening magic arrow is fully applied to the believers who are in a daze.
Start of battle
The power of Isilid: 4 people are placed together in the spiritual sanctuary
There will be a difference in order, but if I can move 4 people right after the skull invincibility is added, I would like to aim for Orin and kill him all at once.
Another dim believer is prevented by Isilid's power: psionic control (some luck is involved)
If you receive Orin's command, you will die unless you defeat one enemy in the next turn
Once Orrin is killed, the rest is clear using range.
Party composition (assuming level 11)
Protagonist: Paladin x Warlock
Role: Use Isilid's power to accelerate and control to prevent daze once. Invincible buff removal is mysterious rays
Will: Sorcerer x Warlock
Dragon Bloodline/Great Old One
Role: Invincibility sharpening + damage with magic arrow
Gale: Wizard
Power technique
Role: Invincibility sharpening + damage with magic arrow
Mercenary (Lord Fatherump): Wizard
Power technique
Role: Invincibility sharpening + damage with magic arrow
If Jaheira is in your party, Harper's forces will turn against you and a battle will ensue, so be prepared with a little recovery. If you don't raise Jaheira's level, you'll be able to fight against a level 1 Jaheira, which will make things easier all at once. Other Harpers are around level 7-12.
🏆“Sins of the Father”
Conquer the Netherbrain, destroy the world, and claim the Blood Throne for Behal
After defeating Orin
Choose the incarnation of Behar and the conversation event ``Accept the Gift.'' This makes the ending exclusive and sets the premise for 🏆"Sins of the Father"
*If the last Kotei was destroyed in Chapter 2, the options and flow may change.
Obtain 3 Nether Stones and go to the end
Keselic (Chapter 2)
Orlin (Chapter 3)
Gotash (Chapter 3)
Preparation varies depending on the difficulty level. If the difficulty level is high, carefully consider gathering friends, equipment, building, and member selection
Meeting with the Emperor
The conversation in the astral world has the same flow as the evil ending (33🏆"Absolute power corrupts").
Become a mind flayer
Netherbrain's final meeting
If you have received Behar's gift, the conversation after winning the last battle will be exclusive.
Make the Absolute your own in the name of Behar
Seize the opportunity
Trophies will be unlocked as soon as the end credits roll

Notes on obtaining trophies in multiplayer
Inviting a friend to the single player data and letting them get the Dark Urge trophy doesn't work normally.
🏆“Leave yourself to your impulses”
Required data: Data immediately before defeating Isobel
Invite friends
Defeat Isobel, collapse the final Kotei + destroy surrounding cursed enemies
Go to the camp and use the menu ``Multiplayer'' to assign the Dark Urge operation to the person who wants to get the trophy
Take a long break in Dark Urge and unlock the trophy
🏆"Sins of the Father"
Required data: Data before entering Lasdun
In the case of data that was progressed completely in single player, inviting friends does not work in Rasdun.
Invite friends before entering Lasdun
[Important] Those who wish to obtain trophies must operate Dark Urge
[Important] Turn Dark Urge into a Mind Flayer in a meeting with the Emperor
Defeat the last boss
Last boss option: Make Absolute your own in the name of Behar
I encountered a bug several times during Rasdan in multiplayer. This has nothing to do with trophies, and may result in you not being able to successfully enter the final boss, or being unable to board Lasdun's boat even though you have collected all the Nether Stones.
In this case, you can usually recover by disbanding the party, restarting the app, and inviting your friends again, but it happened quite often. However, if this happens inside Rasdun, it may be difficult to fix, so be sure to save the data before Rasdun
