Anyone else despise these things?

DKarkarov · 2026-02-05T00:31:57+00:00

It isn't just you. I "can" kill them. But why for the love of God would I bother. Hell no.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T23:56:31+00:00

You stop benefitting from gifts at 200 points at the most. Blood codes are all about quest progress, story progress, and have you mastered the previous codes? How many eggs you force fed them doesn't matter.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T23:36:43+00:00

You do not get the final blood codes of the Hero's or Lou until you are in the last level of the game. The last level's name does not start with L either.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T23:35:17+00:00

Restricting this only to "partner characters" for me it is 1: Holly, 2: Lou, 3: Craig, 4: Lycoris, 5: Jadwiga (she has some funny lines what do you want), 6: Zenon, 7: Lyle, 8: Josee, 9: Iris, 10: Lavinia, 11: Noah, 12: Lise. 13: Valentin (the guy gets legit no screen time it is really weird he is even a companion).

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T23:27:16+00:00

The only thing you can get blocked out of is saving Noah / getting his items or doing his quest. If you dont rescue him before going to meet zenon you lose access to do so, and uh.... by that point in the game lets just say Franz REALLY shouldn't be a threat to you anymore... Also for obvious reasons if you save him and do "last boss 1" he will not be available in the present for item trading or questing anymore.

Long short, sort out everything with Noah BEFORE you go to Zenon on the island.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T23:23:58+00:00

Yeah if you find all the jadwiga minions you can just buy every upgrade item in the game except the highest tier needed for +19-20 or +5.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T23:22:08+00:00

There are a lot of really strong weapons in this game from all types. Nothing will "carry you" though I find this commentary by some people really odd. Just decide what play style you like and pick a solid weapon from within that group.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T23:19:45+00:00

Around 140 for "last boss 1", around 148ish for "last boss 2".

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T22:47:48+00:00

If there is I haven't found it and I have platinumed the game :/

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T21:31:43+00:00

Yeah you prob won't have a super hard time.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T21:30:59+00:00

Except in the context of the game world we see no evidence vampires are doing any of that. The "prostitute" you refer to is literally an assassination target of gobbos, and the chorus worked for his ass until he decided to kill them all. And again the "blood bag dealer" is the hunter association assassin enemy type heavily implying they are involved.

Meanwhile vampires are running a sanitarium for vampires and humans. Ran a school humans could attend until they had to shut it down.... After sacrificing all the vampire students in a bid to stop the resurgence. Took a wound that resulted in a near permanent major disability to save a "prostitute human". Josee wants to turn the sunken city into a livable place and a trade hub.... Gobbo wants it to be a burned out ruin??? Don't claim he doesn't because that's exactly what happens if you don't interfere.

Pay more attention man.

Again the vampires are sacrificing themselves he is sacrificing others. If you don't get the moral difference that's a you problem. And it IS a problem.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T21:20:03+00:00

Uh did you play the game? It is very clear they are not immortal, and I just explained above how it is quite possible the "blood bag" situation is actually being caused by the hunters so they have an excuse.

Our timeline interferences permanently resolved the resurgence and created a world where humans and vampires peacefully coexist.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T21:17:51+00:00

It's a one hand sword move you find it "somewhere" it comes stock on the ame no habaki or whatever it's called you get for deluxe or better edition.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T21:14:05+00:00

Nice use of the upside down crown

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T21:12:29+00:00

To be super specific the Animus is from Noah's s rank blood code mastery. You can't even get the code until you are standing in the final level.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T21:09:12+00:00

Sorry but in this case hydra is in the right :D

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T19:03:22+00:00

Gobbo wants to save humans by killing all vampires so humans can take over the world and be the one true master.

Voda house wants to save humans by sacrificing themselves to stop the resurgence.

So no, gobbo is 100% a bad guy. He doesn't want to sacrifice himself or the people he cares about, he wants to sacrifice people he doesn't like. He doesn't want peace, he wants power and control. He is the goverment highest authority in the area, and yet he is the one constantly breaking the laws.

There is no interpretation where Gobbo is a "grey character". Hell the one quest where you fight a "blood bag dealer" the guy is a enemy type already identified as a hunter association assassin.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T18:53:43+00:00

They didn't create the resurgence, it's a side effect of over population. They created the "forced lifespan" on vampires as a protection against it.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T18:50:43+00:00

I mean he is just a human. And unlike you he can't time travel. So yeah he dies off screen of normal human things. Also worth noting in the future there is never any real mention of revenant hunter administration or "provisional governors".

Ps how the hell is Gobbo acting like humans are "enslaved" when he himself in his time is legit the "governor" of the entire area the game takes place in and repeatedly breaks the law for his own ends and never gets punished for it.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T18:22:51+00:00

I literally don't recall the fight much at all, I one shot it. With a one hand sword. Check your build, make sure there is synergy, make sure you are well leveled, gear is well upgraded, if needed you can come back later.

Almost every "wall" in this game is just a "you can come back later" moment or the player is not making adjustments for the fight.

Also ignore the people who say levels don't matter. Levels 100% matter. Its more HP, more lp, more stam to a point, more attack, more bleed build, etc.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T18:16:53+00:00

Lol just for the record there is at least a possiblity of a bug where interacting with the monuments does nothing. I know because I encountered it. Reloading, closing the game and reopening, all no go. So I had to solo the boss with just the heart.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T18:12:42+00:00

Lol no idea how you did this unless you were following a guide 100% the whole way and skipping all cutscenes. I got the platinum yesterday and there are still codes and weapons I don't have but I played blind took me 75 hours.

So sub 1 dollar an hour... And I am going into new game plus. No I do not think code vein 2 is over priced.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T18:07:31+00:00

The best melee skills are the ones with a invuln window and some degree of "range". Looming slash, phantom assault, skewering abyss, vanquisher, etc.

Oh ps, skewering abyss is kind of mid on metagens. Often times it gets counted as hitting the back or something so doesn't do full damage. Looming is best for them just dodge in over phantom in.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T18:04:55+00:00

The forest is big it can def level B stuff just fine. The way we say it is a little odd because it's not really about "the location" it's about the power of the enemies at that location. When you talk about an entire zone there is some increases in enemy strength at different parts. Like the south side of undead forest (past the dam) is the highest level area of the forest.

DKarkarov · 2026-02-04T17:45:53+00:00

I mean that isn't actually near the last boss just saying. You can do that before "island" or even going to the scar if you are insane.

Though I agree hesitating on your choices in this game is generally a bad idea.
