The road to platinum

In terms of trophies, the content is stressful. I don't recommend it if your purpose is to have fun and control the game.

Trophies themselves: All of the trophies are simple, but there is insufficient explanation of the conditions for obtaining trophies, it is unclear where the specifications have changed due to updates, it is not possible to know the location of the enemy (there is no reverse lookup of the location), and the possession of items. The reason for this is that it is difficult to understand the situation.

As a Metrovania, I felt it was similar to "Odin Sphere". The battle progresses based on your equipment rather than your play skills, so you can rest assured that you will rarely get stuck.

Odin Sphere Leifthrasil Troubleshooting Difficulty

Summary

Number of laps required: 1 lap

There are not many points to be careful about, as there are two time limits for endings, one time limit for side quests (choice between the two), and two enemies that can only be fought once. Quests can be completed in one lap by backing up your save data and obtaining trophies for each quest. Enemies that can only be fought once are required to complete the encyclopedia.

Difficulty level does not affect the trophy, so you can choose whatever you like. The more negative it is, the easier it is, and the more positive it is, the more difficult it is. Can be changed on the way

Timed element

There is a possibility that there will be other cases where time limits may apply due to updates or bugs.

Quest (choice)

"Mixed race boy"

"Son of God"

Click here for details

Enemies that can only be fought once

"Anchorvaie Hand": Summoned by the Underworld boss "Anchorvaie"

"Zumei": Boundary Country, Three Battlefields: Appears with the mid-boss "Beowulf", so defeat him first

*Depending on the timing of fast travel during battle, some enemies may not appear, but there is no way to deal with this, so we have no choice but to treat this as an accident.

Ending

After defeating the 6 gods, when you report to Cecilia at the witch's mansion, the branch will depend on your mental strength

59 or less: Ending D

60-89: Ending C

90 or above: Ending A/B (conditions apply)

Mind power increases mainly by reporting requests. You can't get better by completing requests, so keep trying to achieve them. Try to report only those with good rewards

Kimon Trophy

🏆“Master of Combat” Learn all Shingi

The conditions for ver.1.10 (as of December 2024) that I performed were as follows

Shingi proficiency level must be 1 or higher and all must be in possession

You will also need Uchigi, but Uchigi has a proficiency level of 1 from the beginning, so there is no need to train it.

Shingi that has been consumed in secret etc. must be re-learned and possessed.

Applicable to one-handed swords, great swords, bows, and gauntlets

No collaboration equipment required

[Collaboration weapon Shingi]

Assault piercing

Mine

Secret Laser II

The above three types have not yet been obtained, but the trophy has been obtained.

Be aware

Stock up weapons that are rarely dropped by enemies, such as solid blades. You will need a large amount later.

Shingi in the weapon evolves after learning it

Accessories that increase proficiency can be obtained from underground merchants (Underworld)

You will need specific materials, so make sure you have a place to earn them

🏆Completely understand all requests on the "Yozuya" bulletin board

In the request, set the treasure box collection rate to 100%.It becomes a demon gate to go. At the end of the game, when you subjugate the Nether, the situation in which treasure chests were lost will be displayed on the map, so you can start collecting them in earnest after that point.

Also, this trophy includes ``100% defeat of all enemy types'', so please note that you will not be able to obtain it if you fail to defeat ``Anchorvaie Hand'' and ``Zumei'' during the time limit.

You must also defeat the "black marketer" in the maze of the Underworld at least once to add it to the enemy list. Even if you defeat it, you can revive it with 100,000 Anima, so go when you have the money

There is a place where the unusually hard "Pillbug Dominion" is fixed in the maze of Underworld: Giant's Lair. After clearing the battle, use ``Secret Bind II'' to bind and defeat it after it becomes stronger.

Also, the golden "Pillbug Virture" has been confirmed on PS4/PS5 in an area three places ahead of Sacred Mountain Fartile 2.

Specifically, I checked this place where there were 2 animals when I entered, and 3 when I went in. There are 3 more bodies in the back, so if you want to do a marathon, repeat defeating the 2 areas to the right from "Fir Tile 2"

Trophies that are difficult to understand

🏆"Plant Doctor" Cultivate all types of plants

Seeds can be planted on the ground in the field by using them from the item menu. Cultivating all types means planting all of the following in the same area. The mother algae of Rakuskelub can only be planted underwater, so the area around the giant lake Belgrande 2 is a good place

Kamushigusa seeds

Scary flower seeds

Flower seeds

Luxkelub's mother algae

Apple seeds

Dead Flower Seed (Black Marketer)

Black marketer: Inside the maze in the "Unseen Dark Road" three blocks to the right of Underworld 1.

    Sacred peak clear ①

    Giant lake clear ②

    King capital clear ③

    [Time limit] Defeat the Underworld boss summon hand

    [Time limit] Appearance of the Son of God (Home of Salvation)

    Boundary Country Clear ⑥

    ⑥ Achieved the defeat of God → Go to the witch's mansion

    [Time limit] Mental strength 59 or less: End D

    [Time limit] Mental strength 60-89 or less: End C

    Go to the witch's mansion with 90+ mental power

    Liberation of God's eyes

    Prepare the premises for the true ending

    True ending AB achieved

Timeline details

    If you finish the tutorial and select a special attack soldier during the first character selection, a boost will be added to your evasion, so if you are not particular about it, we recommend it. If you don't select it here, you can pick it up after clearing the page. >

    Reporting a quest will increase your mental strength. This number cannot be reduced, so make sure it does not exceed 59. There are cases where factors other than quests can increase the status, so I will limit myself to reporting on things that increase the status. You can check your mental strength value in the status menu

    Meet a mixed-race boy (you can proceed with the quest)

    There is no need to rush fishing. There are some fish that are difficult to catch if you don't have the status stamina and skills anyway. If you see a fish, just wait a little longer

    Be sure to defeat at least one "Anchorvaie Hand" summoned by the Underworld boss "Anchorvaie"

    Home of Salvation: Encounter with God's Son (You may proceed until the quest "In Search of the Source of Power" occurs)

    Boundary Country/Migo Battlefield: Defeat "Zumei" who appears as a companion to the mid-boss "Beowulf" first

    After defeating the 6 gods, report at the witch's mansion. At this time, if your Heart Power is 59 or less, you can proceed to Ending D. 🏆Unlock “disturbing world”

    Restart and report at the witch's mansion when your mental strength is 60-89, ending C. 🏆Unlock "disappearing consciousness"

    Restart and report at the witch's mansion with your mental strength over 90. It will be a series of boss battles. The second boss fight uses "Eye of Providence" (R3). Fight while destroying the barrier. After defeating it, use God's Eye and talk to the black cat: 🏆Unlocks "Those Who Know the Truth"

    Aim for ending AB (true ending). Collect 100 Mists and begin exploring the abyss towards the true ending. Mist is scattered throughout the field using God's Eye

    Use God's Eye (use "Eye of Providence" (R3)) to explore various locations to collect mist and treasure chests. Eventually, you will need to complete the mist, stone monuments, and treasure chests, but your first priority should be to acquire the skill ``Clearvoyance,'' which will display missed items on the map, and then move on to collecting them.

    "Clearvoyance" can be obtained as a reward for subjugating "Nether" in Abyss 1. Defeating "Connie the Connie (obtains triple jump)" is also a condition for the true ending, so let's defeat him in Abyss 3

    You will receive a small reward depending on the number of mist you give. If you give 100, you will receive "Mysterious Veil". Once you obtain the Mysterious Veil (defeat Cony in Nether/Fuangzi), a black cat will be waiting at the Gate of the End. To the final gate of the land of boundaries

    Use God's Eye to go to each boss area and fight the second coming boss. You can get 10 mist as a reward for defeating it for the first time, so let's visit it. Note that the second coming boss of the Land of Salvation is the area two places to the right of "The Land of Salvation 3" (does not enter the warp) and is difficult to understand

True end branch

Speak with the black cat at the Gate of the End in the Boundary Country using the eyes of God.

B end “Throw away the human heart” → 🏆 “God of the new world”

A end "Use the mysterious veil" → 🏆 "The future built by human hands"

After clearing, you will return to the point before branching, so you can do both in one lap. EX NEW GAME will be added after clearing, but for now let's collect treasure boxes and quests. This is impossible to complete, right? If you feel that way, consider EX NEW GAME

Complete element

Treasure box (displayed on the map after defeating the Nether; if it's black, there are more. Treasure box mark = inside the maze)

Mist (163: Give 100 with Mysterious Veil, so you have 63)

Stone monument (observation status can be grasped in the Gospel)

Recipe (cooking = need to be made)

Fishing (catch all species = the last thing to do after learning fishing skills)

Plant cultivation (must be planted at the same time in the same area. Grass grass seeds, scale flowers seeds, staghorn flower seeds, apple seeds, dead man flower seeds: even though the mother algae of Lacuskelub is not planted) Trophy unlocked)

Materials (check for omissions with enemy information or material information)

Bulletin board request quest (there is a confirmation quest after clearing, so you can see the progress)

Enemy information (registered by defeating: Hand and Zumei are timed)

Kill list (some enemies appear in quests)

Ending ABCD (CD is timed)

Shingi (must have everything including the secret weapon. Collaboration weapons are not required)

Timed quest details (choose between two options)

Only one of the characters ``Mixed Race Boy'' and ``Son of God'' can be advanced to the end. If you back up your save data just before clearing the ``Son of God'' questline ``Seeking the Source of Power'', you can complete it in one lap. There is a trophy for each final quest.

“Mixed-race boy”

Appears relatively early. The contents repeatedly say, "I want you to take me to 〇〇." You can only progress halfway through this questline if you don't progress through "Son of God," so don't worry.There is no problem if you proceed without doing so. During the process of taking them with them, they often lose their physical strength and become separated, so it is best to warp away after reaching the destination. Even if you leave it, you can read it again at the original location.

"Son of God"

The first appearance is in the final stage, "The Home of Salvation." The message continues asking you to defeat 〇〇 and collect materials.

When the quest becomes ``Searching for the Source of Power,'' stop the quest.

Ventus: Boundary Country - There are 2 bodies right below the right wing tip of Feng Shui, and 2 bodies above. It will be smoother if you collect 3 "strongly acidic blood".

"Seeking the source of power"

(After obtaining God's Eye)

Back up your save data before handing over the necessary materials. It won't end right away, so even if you give it to them, it's safe as long as you don't go to the event area.

Once the quest is completed, the Son of God will move to the main gate of the underground city. If the mixed-race boy has completed the quest up to this location, an event will occur when he goes there

"Mixed race boy": Proceed by "cutting in"

"Son of God": Proceed with "Try to be silent"

“Mixed-race boy” route: The final resting place is the witch’s mansion (after clearing)

Maybe “Son of God” is better in terms of reward? You can obtain equipment that increases the drop rate. In this case, it would be best to finish the "Mixed Race Boy" trophy and then return it as a backup and proceed with the "Son of God" route.

Review

A Souls-like Metrovania 2D action game with a bright atmosphere. The action is exhilarating and responsive, and it blends well with the exploration elements of Metrovania, making it a fun game to play. As for the replay elements, the system is easy to understand and play, such as the system where you repeatedly acquire skills called Shingi and build up, and the story branching as your mental strength increases by reporting requests.

On the other hand, it is also true that there are many areas of dissatisfaction. I thought it was a shame because it would have been a great new Metrovania without this part.

Specifically, since this is a game where you need to earn a lot of materials, it is a problem that you cannot easily check information about what you can get and where the enemies are within the game. Also, from a trophy perspective, the conditions and explanations for trophies are insufficient, and the stress outweighs the sense of accomplishment, which could be improved. This may be the intention, but the map enlargement limit is so low that it is simply difficult to see.

If you ignore trophies and completions, I personally give it a high rating. As a general review, it is a disappointing work if you include them.

Battle 84 Exhilarating

Story 81 Easy to understand and quick to understand

Graphic 65 Easy to see and bright, but rough texture

System 70 Good and bad parts are clearly separated

Trophy 60 The content of the trophy is good, but it is not optimized

Score 72
