Feeding and Soul Trophies

• Perpetual Feast – Feed as Kain 125 times. Keep feeding on every enemy rather than just killing them to rack this up quickly.
• The Last Supper – Devour 250 souls as Raziel. This will likely come naturally by the end of the game if you soul-devour consistently.
• Blood Shower – Feed from three enemies simultaneously as Kain. Wait for groups of weakened enemies to cluster before triggering a feed.
• Free Lunch – Feed from 75 blood and soul basins scattered across the world. Explore thoroughly and don't skip environmental pickups.
• Gluttony Kills More – Perform 100 close-quarters feedings. Prioritize grabbing enemies up close rather than finishing them at range.
• Brothers of the Blade – Feed the Reaver 100 times. Use the Reaver as your primary weapon and feed it whenever possible.

Environmental and Elemental Kill Trophies

• Kain the Impaler – Impale 50 enemies on wall spikes. Actively look for spiked walls and telekinetically throw enemies into them.
• The Sky Away – Cast 50 enemies to their deaths from ledges or heights. Prioritize elevated combat arenas.
• Who By Fire – Cause 75 immolations. Use fire-based Reaver abilities against groups.
• Who By Water – Drown 25 enemies. Seek out water areas and use telekinesis to force enemies into pools.
• Razzle-Dazzle – Blind 50 enemies using the appropriate Reaver spell.
• Best Served Cold – Freeze 50 enemies. Use the ice-aligned Reaver charge against groups.
• Devil May Care – Cause 25 enemies to kill each other. Use telekinesis or positioning to trigger friendly fire.

General Combat Trophies

• Ending World – Slay 500 enemies. This will come naturally across a full playthrough.
• Carpe Jugglem – Lift five enemies into the air simultaneously with a lift attack. Look for dense enemy groups in open arenas.
• Quick Study – Complete the combat tutorial within 90 seconds. Move efficiently through each prompt without hesitation.

How to Unlock the Collectible Trophies

• Get Your Blood Up – Collect all Health Talismans for both characters.
• Pure Energy – Collect all Telekinetic Runes for both characters.

These three trophies demand thorough exploration. Check every corner of each area before progressing, and consider using a chapter-select approach if you miss any items on your first pass.

What Are the Secret and Missable Trophies?

Some of the most interesting trophies in Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered are tied to specific hidden interactions or unique conditions that you can easily miss.

Platinum Trophy Tips: How to Earn Deified Efficiently

• Prioritize missable secret trophies (like King of the World and Keep Your Head) on your first playthrough since they're tied to specific locations.
• Track your kill-count trophies actively. Feeding, drowning, and immolation trophies require deliberate effort rather than passive play.
• Save the Tempus Edax Rerum gold trophy for a dedicated speed run after you know the game well.
• Use chapter select to clean up any missed collectibles (Health Talismans, Telekinetic Runes, Arcane Tomes) after completing the story.
• The Unconquerable Will and The Mind's Eye boss challenge trophies are the hardest in the list. Practice those boss fights on a normal run before attempting the restricted versions.
