Iris MagMell is one of the companions in Code Vein 2 and travels with you while you’re saving Holly, Noah, or just doing the main story missions. However, Iris MagMell has her own requests as well.
Iris’s side quests (called “Requests from a Friend: Iris” or simply “Iris’s Requests”) unlock after returning to MagMell in the present timeline and during the main quest “Vanquishing the Heroes.”
- Go to MagMell.
- Talk to Iris and select “Catch Up” to start.
Her entire requests section of Code Vein 2 takes place in present (2277). The goal is to collect three Revenant Remnants from over-boosted bosses in early areas of the game. After collecting all three, a second request unlocks.
The three locations where you can find these Revenant Remnants are Corroded Scar, Sunken City, and the Undead Forest.
Iris Request #1: All Revenant Remnants Locations
The first request from Iris has three boss fights at different locations and each fight gets you Revenant Remnant.
Sunken City – Revenant Remnant I
The first Revenant Remnant is in the Sunken City. Start at the Western Gatehouse Ruins Mistle and keep going northwest along the road to broken-down buildings. Enter the the dilapidated building (entrance near the swamp/bridge).
The building in quest is the one shown in the image above. Enter the front door and use the escalator stairs to reach the first floor. You need to reach the roof of the building where you can find the Over-Boosted Abomination behind the fog-wall.
The boss will drop Revenant Remnant I.
Corroded Scar – Revenant Remnant II
Go to the Corroded Scar region and start at the Western Plateau Military Camp Mistle. Head outside the camp and go through the boss wall to meet the Over-Boosted Golden Werebeast boss.
The Over-Boosted Golden Werebeast drops Revenant Remnant II.
Undead Forest – Revenant Remnant III
The first piece of the puzzle, Revenant Remnant III, is on the Undead Forest map. Start at the Plagued Village Mistle. Enter the village and head to the graveyard/boss door on the west side.
We are finding Over-Boosted Werebeast in Code Vein 2 here. The boss will drop Revenant Remnant III as part of the final piece of Iris’ request.
Speak with Iris at Magmell Base
With all three Revenant Remnants in hand go to Magmell and speak with Iris there. The conversation will trigger a team up and also starts Iris’ final request, “Judy the Overloaded Berserker”.
Travel to Church Overlooking the Ruins in the Corroded Scar where you face Judy.
How to Beat Judy the Overloaded Berserker
| Category | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Blood Code | Queenslayer or Berserker (high stamina for dodging, strong melee output). |
| Weapons | Hammer or greatsword to match Iris and stagger her; fast daggers for safe pokes. |
| Blood Veil | Any with high Blood Resistance (e.g., Ivy Blood Veil) to mitigate orb damage. |
| Gifts | Stamina buffs (Adrenaline), healing (Gift Pungency), stagger (Overdrive). Stack blood resist passives. |
| Consumables | Blood Resistance boosters, stamina restoratives. |
Judy is an aggressive boss with claw attacks and high poise. The boss has fight has two phases and the second phase is triggered once Judy’s hp drops to 50%. During phase 1 opening the best thing to do is allow Iris to draw aggro while you attack from behind during her swings. Aim for landing 2-3 hits then dodge away.
Iris is a big help in this fight so heal her when she’s low because she can tank pretty well. Charge heavies after combos and use partner’s attacks to break her poise. Make sure to buff stamina before Phase 2.
During Phase 2 Judy’s long wind-up rage burst attacks and these the attacks you must bait. Perfect parry or dodge behind for punish.
If you have a high Stagger Build and spam Iris’ hammer attack, Judy can be cheesed in Code Vein 2.
Suggested Stagger Build Against Judy
| Component | Recommendation | Why It Cheeses Judy |
|---|---|---|
| Blood Code | Patientia: Craig 2 (STR 34, VIT 27, FOR 22) | Massive STR for hammer scaling + tanky VIT/FOR. Gifts: Guard Bleed, Attack Up on Hit/Guard (resets on attack)—stay aggressive post-block. |
| Weapon | Ancient Hunter’s Hammer (Hammer, buy from Jadwiga at MagMell Island) | Top early crush/stagger (Gaia Impact Formae for AoE poise break). S-Tier vs. armored bosses like Judy. |
| Blood Veil | Ivy Blood Veil (high Blood Resist for her orb rain) | Mitigates chip from blood projectiles. |
| Key Formae | – Adrenaline (Dmg buff, long duration) – Binding Mark (Stun application = easy stagger) – Blow of Madness (Next hit power up) – Gaia Impact (Hammer AoE stagger) – Overdrive (Attack power surge) | Stack buffs pre-fight for 2x+ dmg/poise. Binding Mark stuns her mid-combo. |
| Stats Priority | STR > VIT > FOR > DEX | Max STR (200+) for scaling; VIT for survival during orb phase. |
| Consumables/Boosters | Blood Resist boosters, Stamina restoratives, Ichor beads | Ignore orb dmg; infinite buffs. |
| Partner | Iris MagMell | Hammer synergy + Defense Up/Vitality buffs. Draws aggro for free backstabs (Noah gift if swapped). |
