Navigate the treacherous City of Falling Flame in Code Vein with our detailed walkthrough. Find all items, vestiges, and defeat the Successor of the Claw.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Activate the mistle and head north. Turn right to pick up items, being cautious of enemies and environmental hazards like flames and damaging floors. Enemies may also spit fire.
  2. 2
    Go up the ladder, then south to pick up an item. Continue on the path and drop down for another item if desired.
  3. 3
    Go down the next ladder. In an area with flaming ground, collect items and defeat enemies. Move across the flaming ground to the right, avoiding the north path if you are pursuing the bad ending (to avoid a vestige).
  4. 4
    Go up the stairs to the north, then advance on the path, lowering the ladder from earlier. Continue collecting items and defeating enemies.
  5. 5
    Reach a ladder, go up it, follow the path, go down another ladder, and keep following the path.
  6. 6
    At a fork, go straight, then turn right. Follow the road to a Regen Upgrade (1).
  7. 7
    Follow the path to a chest (2). Defeat the blue-flamed enemy to map the area.
  8. 8
    Follow the path to a ladder, go up. Go east and jump down. A vestige (8) is on the side.
  9. 9
    Follow the path to a dead end, purify a corrupted mistle, and find another vestige (9).
  10. 10
    Backtrack to where you jumped down. Go east and lower a ladder. Backtrack again to the fork and take the other path.
  11. 11
    Follow the path down a narrow road. Go down a ladder and continue, defeating a blue fire enemy.
  12. 12
    Advance and go up a ladder. The path to the right leads to a resting mistle; the other path leads to items.
  13. 13
    The path becomes linear until you reach an open area with enemies after encountering two ball enemies.
  14. 14
    At a 3-way fork, go down the path to your right. Follow it to a ladder. Before going up the ladder, a vestige (10) is nearby.
  15. 15
    Go up the ladder to find a chest (3).
  16. 16
    Return to the fork and go straight ahead. Defeat enemies, including a claw blood veil type. Go up the ladder and follow the path to a vestige (7).
  17. 17
    Take the remaining path. Beat the blue fire enemy and pick up chest (4) on the way. You will reach the Resting Mistle. The boss is ahead.
  18. 18
    Before the boss, an Io lookalike may appear, allowing you to view vestiges if aiming for neutral or good endings.
  19. 19
    Face the Successor of the Claw.
  20. 20
    After the battle, a vestige scene plays. Speak to the petrified Emily if you have collected her vestiges to receive the Scathach Blood code; otherwise, you will receive the Queen's Claw blood code.
  21. 21
    A vestige is located where the Io lookalike was. Side quests may also spawn.
