Hey everyone! If you're a fellow revenant diving deep into Code Vein 2, you know how challenging and rewarding this game can be. Recently, I found myself stuck on a couple of specific hurdles: really nailing down the Drawback Shot and figuring out Lavinia's sometimes cryptic requests. After a lot of trial and error (and maybe a few rage quits, let's be honest!), I finally cracked the code on both. I wanted to share my personal journey and the strategies that really helped me push through, hoping they'll save you some frustration! Let's talk about the Drawback Shot first. This move, while powerful, can feel a bit clunky to execute perfectly at times. I remember initially whiffing it so many times, thinking it wasn't worth the effort. But trust me, once you get the timing down, especially against certain enemies, it becomes a game-changer for managing stamina and setting up devastating follow-ups. What I found most effective was practicing it against slower, heavy-hitting enemies first. Don't rush it! Wait for their attack animation to start, then use your dash to position yourself behind them. The key is to be slightly off to the side, not directly behind, as the hitbox can be a little forgiving there. Early on, I was trying to use it too aggressively, but a more defensive approach, baiting attacks and then punishing, worked wonders. Also, pairing it with Blood Veils that offer quick mobility or a bit of i-frames on dodge can really make a difference. I personally loved using a light veil build for this, as it made the positioning much more fluid. Experiment with different weapons too; I found some lighter swords allowed for quicker recovery if I messed up the timing. Now, onto Lavinia's requests. Oh boy, these can be a real head-scratcher! I remember spending hours trying to figure out her first few. They often involve hunting specific Lost or finding obscure items in areas you might have already cleared. My biggest tip here, and something I wish I knew earlier, is to always check your map and any new conversations with NPCs after receiving a request. Sometimes, a subtle hint is dropped that points you in the right direction. For one particular request, I was supposed to find a 'fragrant blossom' in a specific section of the Provisional Government Outskirts. I must have run through that area a dozen times! It wasn't until I meticulously scoured every corner and found a tiny, almost hidden alcove that the item appeared. It’s all about thorough exploration and not just rushing through. Also, make sure your companion is set to 'Seeker' if possible, as they sometimes highlight interactable objects you might miss. Don't be afraid to backtrack; sometimes a new request unlocks a previously inaccessible path or item within an older zone. The rewards for completing Lavinia's quests are usually worth the effort, often providing unique Blood Codes, powerful Gifts, or rare upgrade materials that are crucial for progressing in Code Vein 2. So there you have it, my personal breakdown of tackling the Drawback Shot and Lavinia's requests in Code Vein 2. It's a tough game, but with a bit of patience and the right strategy, you can overcome these challenges. Keep experimenting with your builds, paying attention to the environment, and most importantly, have fun exploring this incredible world. You got this, Revenant!
