Repose for the Departed unlocks after you defeat 300 Golems, and you should build that total naturally across the story and New Game+ instead of making it a separate early farm.
Repose for the Departed is a cumulative combat trophy, so the job is less about finding one perfect farming loop and more about keeping the right enemy type in mind while you play. Since the Platinum route already pushes you through a second campaign, this is one of those trophies you can fold into the run instead of stopping your progress for it.
Repose for the Departed requirement and enemy types
| Trophy | Requirement | Counts |
|---|---|---|
| Repose for the Departed | Defeat 300 Golems | Robot-like Golem enemies |
| Enemy type to ignore for this trophy | Malefact enemies | Animal-like enemies; they do not count here |
Key The exact requirement is simple: defeat 300 Golems. Repose for the Departed is a Bronze trophy, and only the robot-like enemies count toward its total.
If you see a named Golem such as a Light Golem, that is the kind of enemy you want for this counter. Malefact kills belong to a different enemy family, so do not use them to judge your progress on this trophy.
How to unlock Repose for the Departed
Play normally
Progress through the story and regular combat encounters without turning this into an early grind.
Prioritize Golems
When robot-type enemies appear, defeat them before moving on so the cumulative total keeps climbing.
Skip route hunting
You do not need a named farming area or a specific loop for this trophy.
Let it pop
After your 300th Golem defeat, Repose for the Departed unlocks automatically.
Leave serious farming until after New Game+: the Platinum route already gives you another full run to add Golem kills naturally.
Repose for the Departed in the Platinum route
| Platinum phase | What |
|---|---|
| First playthrough | Clear the story while fighting Golems you meet during normal exploration. |
| New Game+ | Finish the required second run for Reincarnated and keep taking Golem encounters. |
| Cleanup | If needed, mop up the remaining Golem defeats before finishing the Platinum. |
The wider Platinum path includes Reincarnated, which requires a New Game+ clear. That makes Repose for the Departed a natural two-run objective: build the counter during your first playthrough, keep fighting Golems during the second, then clean up only if the trophy has not unlocked by the end.
Mistakes that waste time
The first mistake is farming too early. Since New Game+ is already mandatory for the Platinum, grinding heavily before that second run can waste time you would have spent earning natural Golem kills anyway.
The second mistake is treating every enemy kill as progress. Malefact enemies are not Golems, so defeating them will not move Repose for the Departed forward.
The closest companion objective is The Sealer, which asks you to defeat 300 Malefacts. While chasing the Platinum, you can also leave room for late-route cleanup such as level 100 goals, weapon upgrades, skill completions, and collectible trophies instead of isolating this one grind too early.
Use Repose for the Departed as a background counter while you work through those broader completion tasks. If it still has not popped after your New Game+ clear, that is the right time to finish it off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Malefact enemies count for Repose for the Departed?
No. They are separate from Golems and are tied to the Malefact enemy total instead, so only robot-like Golem defeats matter for Repose for the Departed.
Is Repose for the Departed missable?
No. You can keep working on the 300-Golem total during your normal run, your New Game+ run, or cleanup before claiming the Platinum.
Do you need to farm Golems in one specific area?
No. Any Golem defeat can count toward the total, and there is no established best repeatable Golem farming location yet. Keep fighting them as they appear, then clean up later only if needed.
