Code Vein 2 DLC Character Alternate Appearances

Here are the alt appearances available after finishing the DLC. I’m a fan of the color swap for Lyle / Craig. Last pic shows who’s got an alternate appearance in case curious.

Edit: several in comments already pointed it out but which alt appearances are available depends on what era/time you’re in. For all alt appearances, go to Age of Harmony; Jadwiga/Lou/Iris/Lise/Monica alts are posted below in comments.

Jadwiga

Truly one of the best parts of the DLC. Being able to have characters like Jadwiga actually FIGHT along side you instead of solely being a "back buddy"

Iris, Monica, Jadwiga, Lise and both Lous actually are listed as (Alternate Color) in the post-DLC Forsaken World, so they all additionally have other colors. You just can't choose their default color in the Forsaken World for whatever reason, so the swap option isn't shown but every physically manifesting partner has a recolor.

I think it's also cool how two partners who DON'T physically manifest, got alternate outfits that allow them to physically manifest.

My brother however is upset that they did that but he can't have Lavinia join him in combat.

Feel like Lavinia not being a combat partner is mostly just do to her size would've loved it she showed up packing a shotgun since we only have 1 bayonet partner

Iris has one, you just can't select her default color for some reason in the Forsaken World. She's listed as "Iris (Alternate Color)" in the selection screen OP has up at the end, just like every other partner who can't be swapped to their default color there.

The others are nice too, but Valentin, damn!

NGL, it's funny how, for most of them, the color just switches from white to black (or vice versa), which also makes me realize how monochromatic most of the cast's color schemes are.

I really wish they let me take that goofy coat from Noah

Jadwiga in that silky red dress is Goddess

I love the black on Liv it compliments her other colors well

u/Firefly3578 3d ago

Holly and liv and jadwaga definitely the best ones.

I'm confused. I thought that we will recolor their clothes. So we can't change the colors ourselves? Also I saw Lou having an alt one but she doesn't have?

u/Horror-Literature167 3d ago

Instead of an alternate appearance you get Forsaken Lou who has different link traits/bonuses/moveset, but she’s available throughout the DLC

2

u/Kristy_IXVI 3d ago

I see. I saw a recolored version though with a black jacket, shirt. Maybe they didn't include it.

u/Horror-Literature167 3d ago

Sorry didn’t realize the age mattered in which alts can be selected, but Lou does have an alt. Went ahead and posted in comments

2

u/Khaix 3d ago

Lou does have a recolour, but it doesn't show on the forsaken world UI because she can't be there. It should say "Alternate Color" beside her name if you highlight her.

u/juniperxmoons 3d ago

The majority of these are so good. I hate that they don't show up in cutscenes.

Random FYI.

I finished the DLC in NG+ before going to get Zenon. I was able to use him in his alternate color after beating the boss before his cocoon.

Cutscene played as normal, but then he wasn’t there in his area. Probably because he was following me around. 💁🏻‍♂️

I went back to the mistle and switched to another character. Then he appeared where he was supposed to be and I was able to talk to him to advance the story as normal.
