Beast of Reincarnation Trophy Guide & Roadmap

Unlock the Platinum with our complete Beast of Reincarnation Trophy Guide & Roadmap. Discover every collectible, skill, and boss strategy to achieve 100% completion.

Welcome to the definitive comprehensive breakdown for earning every achievement in this post-apocalyptic masterpiece. This guide is built to help you navigate the ruins of futuristic Japan with Emma and her faithful canine companion, Koo, ensuring you unlock the 100% trophy efficiently.

Beast of Reincarnation Trophy Overview

Before diving into the post-apocalyptic wilds, here is a quick summary of what you are up against. The journey to Platinum is straightforward but requires dedication to exploration and a mandatory second playthrough.

  • Estimated Trophy Difficulty: 4/10
  • Approximate Time to Platinum: 30 Hours
  • Total Trophies: 46
  • Offline Trophies: 46
  • Online Trophies: 0
  • Number of Missable Trophies: 0 (You can free-roam after the story)
  • Glitched Trophies: 0
  • Difficulty Affects Trophies?: No. You can complete your first run on Easy.
  • Hardest Trophy: Reincarnated (Finish New Game+)
  • Minimum Playthroughs: 2 (New Game+ is required for the Reincarnated trophy, character skills, and unlocking the final blade).
  • Free-Roam / Level Select after Story?: Yes. You can return to all semi-open world areas after the ending.
  • New Game+ Mode?: Yes (Required for Platinum).
  • Supports Manual Saves?: Yes (2 Autosave Slots + 15 Manual Save Slots).

Phase 1: First Playthrough & Collectible Cleanup (20 Hours)

Your primary goal during your first 20 hours is to enjoy the narrative while keeping a sharp eye out for collectibles. The game features 323 total collectibles, all of which are required for the Platinum. Because there are no difficulty-related restrictions for the first run, feel free to play on Easy.

Campsites in the game function similarly to bonfires in the Souls genre. You will respawn at them upon death and can refresh your resources, but thankfully, there are no severe punishments for dying.

You can gather every collectible during this initial playthrough, with the exception of one specific blade that automatically enters your inventory at the start of New Game+. After you defeat the final boss, create a clear save data file (indicated by a star icon). Loading this file allows you to free-roam to any area to clean up missing shrines, campsites, elite golems, and keeper golems before transitioning to your next run.

Phase 2: Second Playthrough on New Game+ (10 Hours)

Once your cleanup is complete, use your starred save file to initiate New Game+. This mode introduces a forced difficulty called “Reincarnation+,” which is roughly equivalent to a standard “Normal” difficulty from a fresh save. During this 10-hour run, focus entirely on completing the main story objectives to unlock the Reincarnated trophy and acquire the final blade required for your collection.

Phase 3: Level 100 Grind & Final Upgrades (1 Hour)

After beating the game twice, Emma and Koo will likely sit between levels 60 and 70. Head to the Crater Zone for the ultimate XP farming method. Teleport to the Crater: Outskirt campsite in the center of the map, walk west into the massive crater, and defeat the Withered Beast that spawns. Defeating this enemy yields massive experience. Simply run back to the campsite, rest to respawn the beast, and repeat the loop until you hit Level 100.

Once you reach the level cap, utilize a simple save-scumming trick:

  1. Save your game manually.
  2. Invest all your Skill Points to unlock Emma’s skill tree trophies.
  3. Reload your save file and invest those same points into Koo’s skill tree.
  4. Repeat this process for weapon upgrades using your amassed Amber (currency).
