Story-related, unlocks after defeating your first boss.

Story-related, unlocks after defeating the final boss.

Select scene Forsaken Library. Forget the button even exists and beat the boss.

Note: You have infinite continues doing this in Free Play Mode.

During a fight, you may be prompted to do one of these. A counter attack can only be performed by pressing both when prompted while having a certain form of your mantle active, when a boss has a significant amount of health, is in a certain part of the area, a certain distance away from you, and can only be done once for a specific attack once per fight.

Each boss has one attack which can be countered with the exception of the flying knight having two and the final boss having four, making a total of 10. All counters take part of a boss's health down (final boss is exempt from this damage). It is worth your while to counter every chance you get. Your counters count between Story Mode and Free Play Mode.

Forsaken Library

Required: Fist (Available from the start)

This boss can only be countered when you are on the bottom level and during the 2nd phase of the fight. When it starts to climb to the highest level, quickly head to the center and wait for the prompt.

Triumphal Square

Required: Sword (Must have cleared Forbidden Floor)

This can easily be done when you are damaging the boss as most of the time you will be prompted. You must be on the ground.

Royal Battle Escort

Required: Lance (Must have cleared Forsaken Library)

This guy has two counters and can only be done during the first phase of the fight when its cannon part of the shield is not destroyed. You must destroy the shield until only the cannon remains. You will then be prompted to counter when it uses the gatling gun. After doing the first counter, you will shortly be prompted for the second so do not put that controller down!

Battlefield of Yore

Required: Wing, Lance (Must have cleared Royal Battle Escort and Forsaken Library)

This one is simple. You just need to be in front of its head, float (hold ), and wait.

Note: If you do not have the Wing, you will still get the counter prompt if you have Lance but it will fail.

Forbidden Floor

Required: Lance (Must have cleared Forsaken Library)

This one is as random as it can get. You must be distanced from Ashlelei and be directly across from her with nothing in the way. The move to counter is her stretch sword grab which is more likely to be countered when behind or on the side of the stairs. Chances are you will get the prompt while making laps around the area and killing the red knights.

Edge of the Abyss

Required: Lance (Must have cleared Forsaken Library)

There are a total of four counters that need to be done here and the good news is, you only need to be in one spot and wait for each one. Fly to one of the higher blue platforms and wait for the prompts. The moves to counter are: punch (right hand), swipe (left hand), swipe (right hand), and tentacle jab. You may have to jump if the prompt does not appear when it is about to do the attack.

You need to unlock either Score Attack or Time Attack to do this. I do not know the exact requirements to unlock these, but both modes unlocked for me when I completed the S rank and No Repair playthrough.

Go into Free Play Mode and select any scene with . You will be able to use to choose the mode you want to play. Select Score Attack, start the scene and wait for the time to run out. The trophy unlocks at the results screen.

In Free Play Mode, select either Battlefield of Yore, Royal Battle Escort, or Triumphal Square as these have a high number of enemies. Now run around and Fist all the enemies you can find. Feel free to kill until the time run out as you will respawn with 5 minutes every time the clock runs out. Be sure to kill the boss to save your kills if you are not going to continue farming for whatever reason.

Note: Your kills are shared in both the Story Mode and Free Play Mode.

A chain is where you kill an enemy with an attack utilizing and the result ending with the enemy exploding, killing another nearby enemy which will also explode and kill another nearby enemy and will stop if there are no more enemies nearby. Your chain will end if you take too long to continue adding to it.

The best and easiest scene for this is Royal Battle Escort; head down to the level where the huge cannons are. Right here will have doors which open rather quickly and they are nearby other doors. The average spawn is 5, but the timing of each spawn seems to be luck based. Anyway, max out your aura points and aura release level 3. Use Sorcerer Bullets to dispose of the spawning knights and try to build your chain. See the following video by PsChbox if you have trouble.

Missable! See No Repair for details.

This trophy unlocks at the end game results screen. You are given a small gold star on the right for not using a continue.

Missable! This is the hardest trophy in the game and unlocks at the end game results screen. For S rank, you must earn a grade combination of SSSS, SSSA, SSAA, or SSSB. It does not seem to matter which places you earn the A's or the B. Here are the following categories you are ranked in:

• Clear Time
• Enemies Killed
• Max Chain
• Parts Lost

See the S Rank and No Repair Walkthrough for more details.

Select scene Forsaken Library as the enemies in that scene will not hurt you. Kill the boss with a safe mantle form like Fist. At the results screen, it should say no more than 1 kill (the boss). If the boss kills any of its minions it will not count against the trophy.

Tip: It is best to waste all of your aura at the start, and not instant guard. The reason for this is in case you kill an enemy, you will gain aura. If you die, you will gain 400 aura points for each respawn. You can go ahead and instant guard for aura to help end the fight quickly, but if you cannot keep track of your aura count then you may not know if you have killed an enemy accidentally or not from one of your attacks.

Missable! This must be done in one playthrough on Normal. This is best gotten along with All S Rank Completed as you will be guaranteed an automatic S rank in the Parts Lost requirement, so it saves you the unnecessary playthrough. You must not repair any of your limbs throughout the playthrough nor use a continue.

See the S Rank and No Repair Walkthrough for more details.
