The trophies

GoldFull guideCollapse Unlock all blessings for every arcana
Pick a card, any card
GoldFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Unlock every Blessing for every Arcana. Each card has its own list of Works of Mercy (two or three challenges, 42 in all); finishing one grants a Blessing, which unlocks an upgrade for that card's spell. Most are kill or use challenges ("kill 25 enemies with bleed damage"), but a few need exploration, such as finding every secret zone in the Main Hall or exploring every room of the Clock Tower.
Tip
The Tarot menu lists each card's Works of Mercy, so check it often. Equip a card and play normally to clear its kill challenges as you go. The full list is in the table on our collectibles page. The Sage's "use 34 Save Rooms" lines up with visiting every Mirror of Life.
Armed to the Fangs
GoldFull guideCollapse Find every weapon in the game
Armed to the Fangs
GoldFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Find all 28 weapons: seven families (Whips, One-Handed Swords, Two-Handed Swords, Dual Blades, Spears, Fists and Weapon & Shield) with four tiers each, Ordinary to Legendary. Most are pickups or chests while exploring; four come from bosses (Valmanway, Excalibur, Chauve-Souris and the Burnt Sword of Fierbois), and a few are behind puzzles.
Tip
The puzzle ones are easy to miss: War and Famine (play the melody on the Notre-Dame organ to open a secret passage), Alucard's Sword and Shield (destroy five blue flames in Alucard's Tower), Bernhard's Wrath (solve the Hall of Mirrors puzzle first) and Rapiers (the platform challenge in the Main Hall Watch Tower). Full list on the collectibles page.
Jack of All Trades
BronzeFull guideCollapse Find a weapon of each family in the game
Jack of All Trades
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Own at least one weapon from each of the seven families. The Ordinary tiers all come early: the Longsword (starting weapon), Cestus (Sewer Reservoir, Paris Streets), the Burnt Sword of Fierbois (after Joan), the Lance (Fountain of the Innocents), the Rusted Harpè and Aegis (after Medusa), the Whip (Hall of the Fallen Angels) and the Pair of Longswords (Crossroads of the Dead, Catacombs).
Tip
This pops naturally a few hours in. If it hasn't, check the Equipment menu to see which family is still empty.
Stuff of Legends
SilverFull guideCollapse Find a legendary weapon
Stuff of Legends
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Pick up any one Legendary weapon. There are seven, one per family: Vampire Killer, Valmanway, Excalibur, War and Famine, Chauve-Souris, Bernhard's Wrath and Alucard's Sword and Shield.
Tip
The quickest is usually Valmanway from the Judge's scales in the Palace of Justice, or the Vampire Killer in Notre-Dame's Deacon's Quarter after you beat Death.
Always the same roof

Always the same roof
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
"Why does Dracula bother to hide things there anyway?" It's a secret area in a ceiling. Players got it in the Sanctuary of Solitude (Master's Quarters), the last stretch before the throne room: climb to the room's upper balconies with the whip rings and break into the hidden space at the very top.
Tip
The same hidden room has a chest with the Gloomstone relic, which hints when a secret is nearby: handy for Narcissus and the Main Hall secret zones. If you're early, make a habit of hitting suspicious ceilings.
Collector
SilverFull guideCollapse Find every health and mana upgrade
Collector
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Find every health and mana upgrade: 24 Brave Heart Fragments (health) and 24 Wise Heart Fragments (mana). Every four fragments of a kind complete a heart worth +20, so you end with 220 health and 220 mana. There are exactly three of each kind in eight areas.
Tip
Fragments count toward the Judge's scales too, so pick them up as you go. The district for every single fragment is in the table on our collectibles page.
Lamplighter
BronzeFull guideCollapse Destroy 666 candles
Lamplighter
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Destroy 666 candles. The count is cumulative across the whole game.
Tip
Hit every candle you see. A thorough 100% run gets there on its own, and candles don't count toward the completion percentage, so this is purely a habit trophy.
The Greatest Detective
SilverFull guideCollapse Find every clues
The Greatest Detective
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Find all 40 clues: notes, plaques, letters and drawings that each point to an Arcana. You start with one (The First Card).
Tip
The clues double as the directions to the hidden bosses, so reading them as you find them saves a lot of wandering. Several are in secret areas (the Blood Poem, for one), so the Gloomstone relic helps. Full list by district on the collectibles page.
Narcissus
SilverFull guideCollapse Activate every mirror of life
Narcissus
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Activate all 34 Mirrors of Life, the save points that also heal and refill potions. 29 are spread across Paris and the castle, and 5 are inside the Hall of Mirrors itself.
Tip
Touch every mirror you pass, even if you don't need to save. The Main Hall alone has nine. Every location is in the table on our collectibles page.
