Daphrona's Codex Misinformation (possible spoilers)

[Hormesis]

There's been a few of these that i've not gotten, despite fulfilling the requisite conditions. And yes, before you ask these are done in map. I haven't made a list of them yet, however it's one of the things I plan on finishing before going into NG+ so I decided to start a list right now, beginning with one i just encountered. If anyone wants to contribute I can edit my original post so it reflects the changes

1) Saint of Sin
*Defeat a fallen saint of sin.
-knock her to the ground with javelin then kill her while she's grounded.

2) Knivesveil Executioner
*Defeat a *Ruthless* Executioner without taking damage
-the actual means to achieve conditions hasn't been discovered

**If you're having problems completing the training, your best bet is to return to the main menu and reload your game. Apparently you have to achieve some of them the first time they're encountered. Right now the best workaround is simply reloading back into your game

Saint of Sin says defeat a fallen saint of sin. It took me a while to understand that one. Basically you have to drop her to the ground with a javelin while she is flying and kill her while she is in that state.

Bad translation/directions in that one imo.

oh is that? i just thought it was have to kill her w/out taking damage. i did drop her to the ground so that checks out

Seems like the description for the Knivesveil Executioner is also wrong. Not only does it say "Defeat a *Ruthless* Executioner without taking damage", but you also can't get the reward by killing them without being hit.

For now I still have no idea how to trigger the reward completion, but it's not related to taking damage or not healing during the fight.

hmm. i managed to get that one but i'm not sure what i did. i have noticed a trend though where you need to meet the conditions the very first time you encounter the enemy. so you'd have to kill them w/out taking damage the very first time you encounter them when starting the mission. there is an option to "reset mission" in the settings option under accessibility. if you've already completed the mission you can always try and re enter the area and kill him w/out taking damage. if you do then try to reset and try again. i updated my post to reflect the deviation

I can confirm that this is the case for some Codex challenges. Definitely bugged. Also, quitting the game to the main menu works as well, you don't have to restart the mission/area completely. But only some Codex challenges were bugged like this, not all.

Went back to test and this was indeed the case - quitting and reloading whenever I failed to not get hit did the trick to unlock the reward.

Cheers for that!

I saw this thread and decided to test it out as well, since I killed the Ruthless Executioner so many times and didn't get it.

Quit the game, loaded in, killed him and got it right away.
Weird bug, but at least it was an easy fix.

[s̷h̷a̷d̷o̷w̷]

"Revenant Devourer: Defeat a Revenant Devourer without using recovery consumables" - also seems bugged, was respawning this fish (sry it looks like a fish lol) 6 times, killing it without using recovery consumables (including stamina regen, just to make sure) and nope, still no completion. Did it on map of course.
Edit: back to title screen, then killed it again and it registered. Bruh -.-

Had this problem with the Pincer Spider challenge. Restarting the game doesn't work, I've taken off brink guard damage and completed the challenge over and over but it won't proc the reward...

As I have already commented in several other threads on this topic, you have to do in on the first try. If you don't, you exit the game to the main menu and try again.

So basically you have to restart the game/exit to the main menu and re enter the game whenever you fail the challenge on the first try since you started the game. A lot of us tested this and it works this way. Until the devs fix the bug.

I have done this over and over.

Still doesn't work. The only YT video I saw that showed the bonus reward successful he had a perfect brink guard sequence. No normal guards and no dodges. Can you confirm? Because I've restarted the whole game, not just the main menu and still the only damage I did was brutal attacks but I would often miss the brink guard and have normal guards in the sequence...

I definitely used dodges and normal guards as well. As long as the only source of damage the spider is taking is from your brick guarding and finishers (brutal attacks) you should be fine. Yes I had the skill that makes it so my brick guarding does damage and I had no issues outside of needing to exit to the main menu if I failed on the first try.

No idea then, sry. But just to make sure, you are doing it on the right spider right?

It's the big one in the swamp just before the boss that has dramatic music when it sees you. May genuinely be a bug (pun intended).
