Vampyr Trophy Guide and Platinum Roadmap
Follow these phases in order to protect the missable work and keep the Vampyr Platinum cleanup efficient.
Phase 0: Difficulty and your backup point
Set the difficulty to Normal or Hard. Story Mode voids Not Even Once as of Patch 1.07, whatever older guides say.
Make a backup save in Chapter 1 after the boat ride with Dr Swansea. That is the branch point for combining the conflicting trophy sets.
Read the per-chapter choice list before you start, since a wrong dialogue option is the most common way Not Even Once is lost.
Understand that 15 trophies are missable because there is no free roam after the story, so nothing can be cleaned up afterwards.
Phase 1: The pacifist run
Never mesmerise and embrace a named NPC. You can kill and even drain aggressive enemies freely, since the trophy only tracks the embrace mechanic.
Follow the choice list. Release Clay in Chapter 1, spare Dorothy in Chapter 2, turn Sean in Chapter 3, charm Aloysius and spare McCullum in Chapter 5.
In the fight with Mary, do not kill the vicar. Let her kill him or the trophy voids.
Do not bite Larrabee. Once bitten you keep the XP even after dying and are permanently counted as having embraced someone.
Do not read the note Usher Talltree asks you to retrieve during Pandora's Box, or you lose the Lore Keeper trophy.
Phase 2: The collectibles and the easy missables
Work the collectible and quest trophies alongside the pacifist run, since most of the 15 missables are straightforward once you know they exist.
Anarchy in the UK and London's Burning can both be earned in a no-embrace run, contrary to expectation.
For London's Burning, note that hostile districts alone may not be enough. One player needed every person in each district missing or dead.
This is the run buyers most often want handled, since a no-embrace playthrough with no free roam is unforgiving. One soft mention of DamnModz fits here.
Phase 3: The weapon trophies via save manipulation
The weapon collection trophies require embracing citizens to obtain their weapons, so they cannot be earned on the same clean run as Not Even Once.
Reload your Chapter 1 backup and embrace where needed to collect the weapons, keeping Not Even Once safe on the other save.
The melee weapon trophy is ultra rare, so expect this to be the longest part of the cleanup.
With both sets banked across your saves, the platinum follows.
Guide notes
Do Not Play on Story Mode
First section after the Quick Info box. As of Patch 1.07 the Not Even Once trophy can no longer be earned in Story Mode and requires Normal or Hard. Story Mode is described in game as a no rewards mode, which may void other trophies too. The requirement now appears in the PS4 trophy description itself.
Guide notes
Why 15 Trophies Are Missable
There is no free roam after the story. The game simply ends and you would have to start from scratch. That single design decision is why over half the list is missable, even though most of the individual trophies are easy. Explaining the cause makes the count far less alarming.
Guide notes
Not Even Once and the Weapon Trophies Cannot Coexist
The weapon collection trophies require embracing certain citizens to obtain their weapons, which directly conflicts with a no-embrace run. That means both sets cannot be earned on the same clean playthrough without save manipulation. Make a backup in Chapter 1 after the boat ride with Dr Swansea, which is the point everything branches from.
Guide notes
What Not Even Once Actually Requires
Only mesmerising and embracing named NPCs counts, meaning those shown in your district status menu plus main quest characters. You can kill aggressive enemies freely and even drain their blood. The trophy is about the embrace mechanic, not about violence generally.
Efficient route
The Per-Chapter Choice List
Chapter 1, release Clay during Take me to a Hospital rather than embracing him. Chapter 2, spare Dorothy during Blackmail in Whitechapel. Chapter 5, charm Aloysius during Unnatural Selection. Chapter 5, spare McCullum during And by the sword you die. Publish these as an ordered checklist, since a wrong dialogue choice is the most common way the trophy is lost.
Do Not Kill the Vicar
In the fight with Mary, killing the vicar voids Not Even Once. Let her kill him instead. This was confirmed by a player who finally earned the trophy and flagged it as the one thing missing from the instructions.
Biting Larrabee Cannot Be Undone
Once you bite him you keep the 2,000 XP even if you die and redo the fight, and you are permanently counted as having embraced a character.
Efficient route
The Usher Talltree Note
During the Pandora's Box mission Usher Talltree asks you to retrieve a note. Do not read it. Reading it locks you out of a highly missable collectible and the Lore Keeper trophy. A separate lockout from the embrace rules and easy to trigger without thinking.
London's Burning Needs More Than Hostility
One player reported it not popping despite every district being hostile through many sleeps. It only fired once every single person in each district was either missing or dead. Worth flagging, since hostile districts alone may not be enough.
The Infinite XP Glitch Is Gone
Disabled by Patch 1.04, and it required an external keyboard anyway.

Quick answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you get Not Even Once on Story Mode in Vampyr?
No, not since Patch 1.07. It now requires Normal or Hard difficulty, which matters because older guides still recommend Story Mode and readers have had to restart after discovering it.
How many Vampyr trophies are missable?
Fifteen of the twenty-nine, because there is no free roam after the story. The game simply ends, so nothing can be cleaned up afterwards.
Can you get the weapon trophies and Not Even Once together?
Not on the same clean playthrough. The weapon trophies require embracing citizens to obtain their weapons, so you need a backup save from Chapter 1 to combine both sets.
Does killing enemies void Not Even Once in Vampyr?
No. The trophy only tracks mesmerising and embracing named NPCs. You can kill aggressive enemies freely and even drain their blood.
Why did my Not Even Once trophy void in Vampyr?
The most commonly missed rule is the vicar in the fight with Mary. Killing him voids the trophy, so you must let her kill him instead.
Can you undo biting Larrabee in Vampyr?
No. Once you bite him you keep the 2,000 XP even if you die and redo the fight, and you are permanently counted as having embraced a character.
Where should you back up your save in Vampyr?
In Chapter 1, after the boat ride with Dr Swansea. That is the branch point you reload to combine Not Even Once with the conflicting weapon trophies.
Why won't London's Burning unlock in Vampyr?
Hostile districts alone may not be enough. One player found it only popped once every single person in each district was either missing or dead.
