Tales of Zestiria 100% Achievement Guide

Overview

Hopefully this guide doesn’t put you to sleep as well as Lailah puts Rose to sleep talking about Fusion.

Welcome

Master of Zestiria
This is proof that you’ve obtained all trophies. We’re thrilled you like the game so much, and we hope to meet you again in future titles!

Missables

The only missable achievements are those that relate towards boss fights playing on a specific playthrough, or difficulty while maintaining a specific challenge:
– No item usage
– There are 8 of these achievements. Each of them is tagged in red to give you a warning.

Due to the fact you can fight the final boss as many times as you like, the achievements related to him are NOT missable.
– There are 4 related achievements to this. But not missable. All you have to do is beat him without using retry.

After the final boss, you unlock an extra dungeon. Here, you will clear 8 dungeons each that has a boss at the end. After all eight are cleared, you’ll fight a ninth battle. This battle MUST be on Normal or higher. The rest of the battles do not matter.
– This is also tagged in red.

There are things that can be missed, in particular skits, but they can all be obtained by the end of the game. This will be emphasized in the Chatterbox section. All areas can be revisited, so nothing else is missable.

Setup

Simple –> Normal –> Moderate –> Hard –> Insane –> Chaos

There are several achievements regarding certain bosses that must be defeated on Hard if you’re on the first playthrough, or any difficulty on the second playthrough. Then there achievements for defeating the final boss on all difficulties or on up to your fifth playthrough. (Chaos or 5th playthrough, Insane or 4th playthrough, Hard or 3rd playthrough, Moderate or 2nd playthrough)

At the start, only difficulties up to Hard is available. In order to unlock Insane, you must finish 300 battles on Hard. In order to unlock Chaos, you must finish 400 battles on Insane.

Method 1: One Playthroughs (And a little bit)
– Play on Hard to unlock Insane.
– Play on Insane to unlock Chaos.
– This will handle all hard requirements on bosses, provided you don’t use items in them.
– Final boss can be fought multiple times, so you actually don’t have to play on Insane just yet, but due to equipment drops, I would recommend it if you’re gonna do Chaos on the first playthrough.
– There is an achievement that is exclusive to the 2nd playthrough that occurs very early in the game, once you’re all done on the first playthrough including all achievements except for Wishes Transferred and the Master of Zestiria, you can go New Game Plus (NG+) and get it.

Method 2: Two Playthroughs
– Play first playthrough on any difficulty under Hard, this will make it very enjoyable. Without having to worry about grinding for levels, and equipment and learning how the fusion system works.
– At the end of the first playthrough, you’ll also grind all the achievements except for the difficulty ones.
– Now the important step is setting up your second playthrough.
– Then on the second playthrough, you can start on Hard and be better prepared by knowing the game and not worrying about about much aside from completing the story.

Method 3: Many Playthroughs
– If the first two are too hard, then you simply beat the game 5 times. That way, all difficulties are nullified.

• Herb: Sage | To your west after falling

• Herb: Red Rosemary | You’ll see it on the right halfway through
• Normin 19/49: Tempescht | Right before you see the save point, there’s a small alcove to the right. The normin is hiding in there.
• Save Point: Near South Exit
• Unfortunately, you’re gonna have to teleport back to Lastonbell for a sub-event.

• In between the inn and the equipment shop route, you should see two guys leaning against a wall with the ! over their heads. Talk to both of them. Rest at the inn.
• Skit Sub #027: Where’s Margaret? (Dezel) | Rest at the inn after progressing the Sub-Event
• After the skit you’ll hear screams. Head outside for an easy fight. Then you’ll get another fight after exiting Lastonbell.

• Instead of entering the village, head back to where you used the wind rush. Now go west and you’ll find the next crucible.
• Save Point: In Front of Malevolent Crucible: Samghata
• Another boss up there, but ignore it. It’s too strong for now. Instead, focus on the crucible for Lailah.
• Malevolent Crucible: Samghata | 5x Scorpion, 2x Dusk Bat, 3x Plantus, 4x Skeleton, 2x Armored Centipede, 1x Scorpion, 2x GEo Roller, 1x War Tiger, 2x Plantus, 3x Blazen Wolf
• Due to Lailah’s really really slow attack speed, I’ll give you a hint. When casting her artes, you’ll want to perform 3 dodges then use your artes so that you drastically reduce your cast time. My main moves were Burning Strike and Blitz Bomb. Burning Strike is good for the slower enemies so that you can keep range. However for enemies such as the wolves and Geo Rollers that seem to keep close proximity, a triple side dodge then a Blitz Bomb does nicely. Heal if needed. If you’re still having trouble, try adding a snack beforehand.
• Skit Sub #065: Lailah’s Victory (Dezel) | After completing the above
• Once that’s done, take the northwest path of this area (it goes north the makes a u turn west then south).

• Herb: Red Verbena | Take the east fork
• Since you’re already here, might as well head to the northwest area of the map.
• Save Point: Western Area | Just for teleport purposes
• Head to Gododdin now. Method of transportion is your choice.

• After the cutscene, talk to your party. Do note, the furthest west mission marker will progress the story regardless if you’ve talked to everyone. After you’ve talked to everyone, then go for that furthest west mission marker to progress. You’ll get the party back as well.

• Skit Etc #036: Drink Your Stew Before It Gets Cold | Order Stew while at Fenia Inn
• Some Support Talent Notes: If Mikleo already has Lvl 12 Treasure Detection, it’s probably best to put him on Snack Preparation for the end-game snacks. You need 200 snacks eaten for Mikleo’s Sweet Tooth Title to transform into Inveterate Snacker Title then max it out for a skit. If done, then Remedy or Windstepping would be your best bet.
• Rose needs Lvl 12 Item Ordering, after that she can switch to Snack Preparation to help with the RNG.
• Lailah should be done with Fusion, so more Snack Preparation.
• Sorey should be done with Point of Interest Detection, so more Snack Preparation.
• Edna should be done with Normin for the Win, so more Snack Preparation.
• Dezel should be done with Luring and Windstepping. If Dezel hasn’t prepared Madeline, then make sure he does via Snack Preparation. If those are all done, move Dezel to Windstepping. Since Dezel doesn’t remain in the party, no point in leveling up his Snack Preparation.
• Once you’re ready, take the south path to the mission marker. Yay, we can break boulders.

• After all that, head to the inn.

If doors have MULTIPLE torches, do take note that there are numberings on the bottom of each torch in roman numeral: I, II, III. That is the order in which you light them. So for this first one, light the east one, then the west one. Go all the way west afterwards. You’ll go into a similar L room with three more torches. Light them in the right order. This will open the door to the center.
• Herb: Red Chamomile | In the room in the corner next to the torches
• The door you just unlocked has another torch, light it for a small scene. Head back to the hallway and go downstairs. At the bottom of the stairs you’ll get some more torches to light up. Light them.
• You can’t do much with that yet, so head east then all the way south.
  
• Herb: Red Saffron | It’s in the corner of the southwest room
• Now head back to the hallway and do the torches. Update on torches now, again when you noted the numbering on the bottom, do note that these numbers are only on specific sides of the torch. Light it from that side.
  
• Head back to the southeast room and take the stairs up. Light the two torches here and you will have connected this area back to the start. Head west into the hallway.

• Follow the kid now, if you get too close, Sorey starts walking slowly. Once he enters the Noble District, you should get the Goofy Glasses [Fashion]. Follow him into a manor until you get a scene.
• Then now you’re going to follow them to the back of the Sanctuary. Dezel will rejoin you before then. At the end you’ll get a choice of turning in the kids or not. This choice does not matter.

• Windrush across the gap and enter the shrine.

Walkthrough – Part 18

• Like with most games, the water shrine is always the worst. Tales of Zestiria is no different. Even worse is that if you mess up, you’ll have to restart. So I’ll go through every step slowly and carefully.
• You’ll get a scene with the protector seraphim and learn that your trial is to learn why Asura became a hellion.
  
• Herb: Red Chamomile | Next to you after the scene
  
• Head west through the door. See map. Take a right and head north until you get to a room and head east all the way to the final room.
• This chest contains the diary of the Shepherd.
• Now go upstairs. You are at Lefay, Shrine of the Water Trial 2F.
  
• Head to your west into a hallway. The next room has more eyes. Use Spectral Cloak then run straight passed the two eye tiles.
• Now make your way south. See map. Exit through the hallway.
  
• Herb: Red Sage | To the left of two chests.
• When you’ve picked up both chests head back to the staircase room. It’s actually faster to step on an eye tile to get teleported back. Make your way to the second floor by going north. Once up the staircase, go south instead and exit back to Lefay Shrine, Central Cavern. This time you’re on the walkway.
  
• At the end is a purple aura, this is a warp portal. Purple means untouched, Blue means touched. So go touch it to unlock the warp portal. Warp Portals are accessible from the first room with eyes.
  
• Go through the door to the south. You’ll be at the far south room. Go downstairs and exit to your west through the hallway. The following room has several eye tiles. Spectral Cloak over the first tile. The Silver Chest contains 6000 gald. The regular chest contains a Fatigue Ward. Run over an eye tile to return to the beginning.
  
• From the beginning, go to the first eye room. You should now see a blue warp portal. Take it. Exit south now. Last time you went downstairs, this time go west instead until you reach the southwest room.
  
• The chest gives you more details.
• Head north now until the next room. Again you can step on the first tile. Look to your left (west) and you should see the corner tile being completely blank. Use Spectral Cloak and go over there. Now wait for the cloak to disappear, then recast it before going to the treasure chest.
• Discovery Point #43: Damaged Eyeball Statue | From that chest look north, there’s a statue. Point your camera upwards and you should get the ‘Check’ option.
• Skit #096: The Seraphic Civilization | Discovery Point #43
• Now, make your way back to the southwest room. So two Spectral Cloaks. Once you’re at the southwest room, take the stairs up.
  
• From this room, go north passed the hallway. The next room does not have any eye tiles. However, it does have eyes on the wall, so be careful.
• Go to the southeast corner tile. Go north one tile, then use Spectral Cloak and walk forward two tiles at least. Use the door going east. Exit to the east.
  
• Normin 32/49: Animili | On the ledge to the right.
• The two chests contain: Raspberry Mousse and Peach Gel
• Head back west to the previous room with the stairs. Go east now.
  
• The chest to the southwest corner of the room has a Panacea Bottle. The chest to the southeast corner of the room has more information. After that, exit to the north.
  
• Go up the slope and unlock the warp portal and exit north again. You should be at Lefay, Shrine of the Water Trial 4F
  
• Follow the linear path until you reach the northwest room. You should see a chest straight in front of you. Another story for the trial. Read it and go south. Next room has eyes.
• See map. Follow until you exit north.
  
• Take the ramp down.
• Herb: Red Saffron | At the bottom of the ramp
• Exit north.
  
• Then cross the hallway to the northern room. The final chest at the northeast corner of the map holds the final story. Read it.
• Now head west. In the northwest room with the stairs, the stairs don’t help at all. Go south instead. In this last room, the doorway tile is safe. You can run to and up the stairs safely. The eyeballs are to prevent you from approaching this from the other side.
• Step on the eyeball platform at the top of the stairs. You’ll teleport.
  
• Do not walk down. Use a spectral cloak, THEN walk down to the doorway. There’s an eyeball covering the only tile. Exit to the east. That was the last trap.
• Cross the bridge and you’ll get a save point.
• Save Point: In Front of the Highest Great Hall
• Skit #104: Asura, the Hellion | Save Point BEFORE beating Asura
• Save up and head to the boss room.
• Boss Fight: Asura | [HARD DIFFICULTY – NO ITEM USAGE ACHIEVEMENT] | Blessing Orb 9/14

• Monolith: 3 Types of Artes IV | On the right as you make your way to Gangalen Ruins
• Save Point: Entrance to Gangalen Ruins
• Enter the ruins.

• 
• Once you enter the hallway, look left. There’s a wall you can remove with Spectral Cloak. Go west and you’ll get another wall you can remove with Spectral Cloak. Head downstairs.
  
• When you hit the hallway again, you can remove another wall. To me, these gems look really green but the lighting is blue so it makes sense that this is indeed yellow stones, so use Giant’s Strength to remove the wall.
• From the fork where you used Giant’s Strength, just go straight until you reach more stairs. Go down.
  
• Next area go to the second room then go north, then keep going north until you get to some more stairs down. Go down. There are items here, easy to find if you want them.
  
• In the first room go to the northwest corner. Use Giant’s Strength here. Then go to the northwest corner of the next room and use Giant’s Strength again. Exit to your south, go down the stairs.
  
• Fashion Item: Pipe | South at the first fork
• Go west at the first fork. Follow that path into the second room. You’ll find your first wall that can be removed with Windrush, which is odd since gates can only be bypassed as such. Head southeast then follow the linear path.

• Discovery Point #52: Ruin Rats | In the room on B3, check the western torch pillar
• Skit #110: Oh Rats! | Discovery Point #52

• 6F: Directly to your west is a statue for you to open the door, then go through the door. Windrush across the gap here, but ignore that stone statue here. Do not use it. Go west across the gap and use the south statue. This will unlock the door to the north. Then activate the statue to the north. Windrush back to the east, go to the very end of this platform.
• Discovery Point #53: Ruined Windmills of Hyanoa | It’s the stone statue, but broken. And apparently these are windmills, so I’ll start referring to them as such.

• That should be your 100th Herb provided you never picked up the same herb twice, which is fine. This just happens to be the 100th unique herb you’ve come across.
  A ‘undred Herbs

If you followed this guide to the letter, then you should already have this achievement, in which case you won’t have to worry. I arrived at Katz Korner with 272 Skits, and I missed 3-4 listed in the guide.
• The only other thing here is the two turtlez. I won’t list it now, because the Dark Turtlez is a boss. Similar to how I left out various enemies during your early pre-war run, we’ll revisit this at a better time.

• Head to the Aqueduct, but don’t enter. There’s a sub-event right outside it. Go to it. Now head to Griflet Bridge in Falkewin Hillside.

• Boss Fight: Legendary Wyvern | Anomalous Orb 36/36
  36 Challenge
  This is proof that you’ve collected all 36 anomalous orbs. You’ve poked around in every nook and cranny, you’ve laughed, you’ve cried, you’ve questioned your assumptions… But you made it!

• Do not walk in. This was progressing the sub-event for Rose.

• Head to the entrance to Ladylake. You’ll get a familiar scene.
• Boss Fight: Rose & Zaveid | Heavy note, this battle is ridiculously hard due to the attack speed of both Zaveid and Rose. This is pretty much a battle of attrition.
• The strategy here is to armatize and combo up both Zaveid and Rose so they can’t gang up on you. Having arcane bottles, potions will be highly recommended so you can dish out damage faster. Once you eliminate one of them, the battle gets much easier. Do take note of their resistances: if using Mikleo or Lailah, go for Zaveid. If you’re using Edna, then go for Rose. I’d recommend going with Mikleo for the first stage due to his range.
• Skit Sub #056: Professors’ Conference | After the boss fight
• Sub-event fin.

• Head to Alisha’s house, you’ll be doing the final stage of her sub-event.

• Rest at this inn for a skit.
• Skit Etc #029: An Intense Match | After defeating Symonne, rest at the inn here
• Boss Fight: Dark Turtlez | This is an extremely difficult fight, the AI will probably get wrecked over and over. You should stock on Life Bottles, Arcane Bottles. You probably won’t need Gels too much, and at least one All Divide on yourself.
• Fashion Item: Square Glasses | After the fight
• Like most of the recent bosses you’ve faced, mystic artes seem to be common place and he uses it a bunch in the lower 50% of his health. Due to the fight’s length, you’ll want to armatize with Mikleo to keep your distance. This way you can prevent yourself from being hit as much. Dark Turtlez went after Rose the entire time, so try timing your attacks with Rose and whichever seraph she has to keep him staggered to lessen the amount of damage he dishes out.

• Fashion Item: Rare Butterfly Tiara | South of the save point in a gold chest

• You’ll reach a very similar structured room.
  
• Go up the stairs and instead of torches, you’ll have 3 windmills. Activate all three using windrush.
• Boss Fight: Hippogriff | Worn Out Pendulum

• Herb: Red Chamomile | North of the stairs

Walkthrough – Part 28

• You can take the only warp there. The boss is waiting at the final room. Head there for a scene.

• As the name suggests, it will auto-revive at a minimum of three times. On the fourth life, you must finish him off with a Mystic Artes attack. If you do not, Phoenix will continually revive himself.
• As the name does not suggest, despite being a fire related entity, Phoenix is resistant against water. But do make use of his winged category. Mikleo’s Armatization using Blistering Fang followed up by Binding Vortex is a good way to eat at his health.

• Skit Sub #043: Phoenix Phorever | Immediately after the above skit

• Final Boss: Heldalf
• Stage 1: This is your typical fight. Not much to say here.
• Stage 2: This giant Heldalf mainly attacks in the center of the arena, so hugging his hands should prove beneficial to you. Further more, I’d save your best Seraph for last. You’ll have to use Siegfried with all 4 Seraphs at one point, so the order you use them in will matter. Personally, the first three parts are all the same to me, but the last stage results in one seraph left so Rose would not have a Seraph for that portion.
• Stage 3: Simply end the fight by using the Mystic Artes.
  Dusk of the Shepherd
  This is proof that you’ve witnessed the resolution of this story. Now you can try playing again with various changes to the gameplay, or you might venture into the daunting bonus dungeons.
• You’ll be prompted to save, this is important regarding NG+.

• Whenever you create a save after beating Heldalf, it’ll be a save located at the save point just before you face him. With this, you will be able to access Hexen Isle, as well as the Calix.
• The save will be denoted by a star next to it. This start means you can start a NG+ off of this save and be introduced to the Grade Shop. I will explain this in detail later as there is more to do in this first playthrough. Not to mention, whoever played in Hard/Chaos don’t need a second playthrough.
• In any case, load up your post-boss save now.

Warning: If you defeat the final boss of this extra dungeon, then Heldalf will be powered up making him insanely difficult to beat. If you have plans of beating him on higher difficulties here, then I would do that PRIOR to beating the dungeon below. As long as you don’t complete the Calix VIII, you won’t accidentally beat the dungeon. The powered up version on Normal difficulty is probably harder than playing on Chaos against his original form.

• 
• From the save you have in front of Artorius’ Throne, head towards the throne. This would require you to walk upstairs to the next area. In the next map, you should see a new area on the map ‘???’ and a white teleporter. This is your destination.
  
• Save Point: Hexen Isle
• Discovery Point #74: Full Dragon Skeleton | North of the save point
• Skit Sub #023: Paleontology for Beginners | Discovery Point #74
• Herb: Red Sage | Southwest of the discovery point

• Return to the save. That monolith was the final monolith.
• Skit System #006: Reading the Monoliths | After reading all 78 monoliths
  Monolith Monomania
  This is proof that you’ve found all the stone monoliths and ruminated on their author. Use the battle actions you’ve acquired to unleash the ultimate mystic artes!

• Head west through the valley-like features. You should see the final Crucible (Zaveid) on the south side.
• Malevolent Crucible: Avici | 2x Succubus, 2x Hell Lady, 1x Arachne, 2x Wendy, 3x Sylphid, 1x Hydra, 12x Slimeroot, 3x Hell Lady, 2x Trilobite, 8x Slimeroot, 2x Succubus, 1x Hell Lady, 1x Arachne
• Skit Sub #073: Zaveid’s Challenge | Automatically shows when you try to enter
  Eight Dates With Hate
  This is proof that you’ve returned alive from challenging all eight Malevolent Crucibles. Since each one only allows certain characters to enter, you’ll need mastery of techniques and knowledge for each one of them.
• Skit Sub #074: Zaveid’s Victory | Complete the Crucible
• Discovery Point #73: Budding Giant Fruit | Southwest of the crucible at the southern shore, it’s a giant seed. Note: This is the final discovery point.
• Skit #158: Across the Sea | Discovery Point #73
• Herb: Red Saffron | Northern tip of the southwest region
• Now that you’ve cleared out the entire map, use the map above to see which one is the right Calix. They’re ordered clockwise starting at I so you don’t have to check.

  A Non-Specific Tale
  You defeated some sort of people who came from some sort of place using some sort of means. This is some sort of proof of that. Sort of.

• Head to the discovery point, Full Skeletal Dragon. I will give another warning again. If you defeat this boss, then Heldalf will be very powerful. So if you have ANY intentions of beating Heldalf in this save again on a higher difficulty, do that FIRST.
• Note: This achievement is MISSABLE. You must beat this boss on Normal for the achievement.
• Boss Fight: Dragon Zombie | [NORMAL DIFFICULTY REQUIRED] | Ancient Orb: Dui
  The Sky’s the Limit
  This is proof that you’ve completed all the extra dungeons at difficulty level Normal or above. But further challengers await you, in places you’ve been and places you have yet to be.
• Skit Sub #026: The Earthpulse Activates | Right after defeating the Dragon Zombie
• Skit Sub #025: The Truth of Hexen Isle | At the Hexen Isle save after defeating the Dragon Zombie

• Make sure this is a completed game, so the save has a star next to it.
• Rest at the inn.
• Skit Sub #057: Lailah’s Composure
• Skit Sub #059: The Skies Over the Journey’s End
• Visit the Great Sanctuary for a scene. You’ll receive Lailah’s second Mystic Artes
• Rest again.

• Head to the event marker on the map right at the gates. You’ll receive Mikleo’s second Mystic Artes

• Since all story related obstacles have been conquered, we enter the clean-up phase of the guide. You’re welcome to skip ahead to the DLC portion.
• If you played the game on Hard and above, you can also go to NG+ if you’d like for the mirror battle. If you did not play it on hard, then I do not recommend jumping into NG+ on hard immediately due to equipment and lack of stronger skills.
• Start anywhere, check which achievements you’re missing and search for that achievement in this guide to figure out how to get it.

• Probably the hardest achievement in the game, so make sure you’re well equipped.
• After beating the game, you unlocked Hexen Isle, also known as the EX Dungeon. Upon clearing the EX Dungeon, you get a message regarding a strengthened enemy. This is Heldalf. Upon fighting Heldalf again, you will find that he is much stronger than the used to be, plus he’s strong against every element. The first stage is harder than the second stage, but they’re both challenging.
• There’s two ways to do this:
• Sketchy Route: Play the first stage on Simple. Then die on his Armatized version and switch over to Hard. This achievement doesn’t care if you retry, or use items. Defeat his second stage on hard for the achievement.
• Regular Route: Your best method to boost your damage is having your seraphs with E-7 Unions in their respective element. This will ignore elemental defenses that is greatly reducing your damage against Heldalf. The rest is up to you. If you’re not sure what an E-7 Union is, see the Equipment Fusion section. Secondly, having unnamed equips with the Mistiq x2 bonus would make this a rather childish fight provided you have a good SC recovery.
  Bested the Worst
  This is proof that you’ve defeated a certain powered-up “someone”. Nothing more can be said, nor does it need to be.

• The achievement unlocks upon defeating his armatized version, the one on one fight has no bearings on this achievement.

Walkthrough – Alisha’s Story Part 1

Two things to note before you start this:
1. If you beat the game already, you can use your previous save in this DLC. If so, you can actually fuse equipment for Alisha prior to starting this, then equip it when you start it.
2. I won’t mention all the herbs/skits, just ones that I come across. You should already have the two achievements related already. Furthermore, I won’t make maps here. While there are new items available, the main game walkthrough should suffice.

• Save Point: In Front of Great Tree
• Head towards the inn for a scene, a battle, and more scenes. After that, you’ll be back at Neif’s house. Head towards the inn.
• Herb: Red Sage | Behind a rock to the right after going south
• Save Point: Near Southern Entrance
• Herb: Red Saffron | Between the save and the equipment shop
• Herb: Red Chamomile | Next to the inn near a tree tunk
• You’ll get a scene and a skit. Just a heads up, I have no way of checking the names on any of these skits that appear on their own, so the best I can do is list everyone that shows up.
• Skit DLC #001: Alisha and Rose | As soon as you walk up the steps
• Enter the inn…
• Save Point: Wontiga Inn
• Walk around until you get some dialogue. Then enter the back of the inn to Rose’s room. She’s escaped! Head to either exit of Marlind to automatically warp to Lastonbell.

• You’ll get a fairly lengthy scene.
• Skit DLC #002: Alisha | After Alisha leaves Rose’s room
• Save Point: In Front of East Gate
• Herb: Red Lavender | West of where the equipment shop is located
• Save Point: In Front of Sanctuary
• When crossing to the west of the sanctuary, you’ll get another fight. After the fight, you’ll get another scene.
• Skit DLC #003: Alisha and Rose | In the inn automatically
• Skit DLC #004: Alisha, Rose, Lailah, and Edna (And unknown characters)| The next morning, automatic
  The Squire’s Pact Renewed
  The squire’s pact you’d remembered so fondly is enacted again. What kind of journey will await you this time?

• Head to the save point at the sanctuary for a skit.
• Skit DLC #005: The Dreaded Slumbering Party | Yay a skit name
• Herb: Red Rosemary | Building across the street from the Sanctuary, to the west
• Herb: Red Verbena | Near the west gate on the south side up some steps
• Head to the inn and rest up.
• Skit DLC #006: Alisha and Edna | They talk about her ability to adapt and Maltran
• Exit to the east to Volgran Forest

• Save Point: Lastonbell Entrance
• Herb: Red Rosemary | Just east of Lastonbell in the dead-end
• Herb: Red Verbena | East of the previous herb in a crevice
• Herb: Red Lavender | Just southwest of the Glaivend Basin entrance
• Save Point: Exit Leading to East Basin
• Exit to Glaivend Basin

• Save Point: Inside Rolance Camp
• Head towards the mission marker. You’ll get a short battle and a scene. Follow the soldier.
• Herb: Red Chamomile | East side of the northern part of Forton’s walls
• Once you turn the corner east, you won’t be able to use any action keys similar to when Sorey was carrying Rose. If you see something you want, let the soldier get ahead so you can get your normal controls back, then resume following.
• Skit DLC #007: Alisha, Rose, Lailah, and Edna | Arriving at the cave
• Save Point: Entrance to Cornic Sealed Cave
• Herb: Red Verbena | Just south of the save point
• Enter.

• Skit DLC #008: Alisha, Rose, Lailah, and Edna | Once you progress into a cave a little bit
• Herb: Red Chamomile | Just after you get the skit
• Exit to the next area.
• Herb: Red Sage | Dead-end at the second fork
• Skit DLC #009: Alisha, Rose, Lailah, and Edna | Once you progress into a cave a little bit
• Herb: Red Lavender | Dead-end at the last fork
• Exit to the next area.
• Head to the mission marker.
• Boss Fight: Maltran | Same as the fight in Bors Ruin
  Severing the Bonds of the Past
  The time, place, and opponent are different, but the same score has been settled again. This is proof of your efforts.

• Achievement: Severing the Bonds of the Past
• You’ll receive Alisha’s second Mystic Artes from this battle.
• Herb: Red Verbena | North of where you fought Maltran
• Head west.
• Skit DLC #010: Alisha, Rose, Lailah, and Edna | After going west from the fight
• Herb: Red Verbena | East room at the last fork
• Skit DLC #011: Alisha, Rose, Lailah, and Edna | North at the fork
• Skit DLC #012: Alisha, Rose, Lailah, and Edna | North of that skit
• Exit the area

• Save Point: Entrance to Cornic Sealed Cave
• Skit DLC #013: Beyond One’s Fear | At the save point
• Herb: Red Saffron | In front of you on the cliff
• Exit to the next area.

• Short place.
• Skit DLC #014: Alisha, Rose, Lailah, and Edna | Just before the exit
• Exit the area.

• Save Point: In Front of Malevolent Crucible: Naraka
• Malevolent Crucible: Naraka | 2x Naga, 8x Bat, 3x Goblin Batallion, 3x Naga, 8x Bloodsuckers, 2x Lizard Warrior, 2x Gargoyle, 1x Wolf Berserker, 4x Gargoyle, 2x Lizard Warrior, 1x Wolf Berserker, 1x Kylvern
  The Dynamic Duo
  Proof that you’ve cleared Naraka in the Malevolent Crucible. You and your partner make quite a team!

  The Speedy Duo
  Proof that you’ve cleared Naraka in the Malevolent Crucible in a short amount of time. You speed demon, you!

  The Eleventh Duo
  Proof that you’ve cleared Naraka in the Malevolent Crucible 11 times.

• There are three achievements here. One for beating it. One for beating it 11 times. One for beating it in under 2 minutes. You get to use both Alisha and Rose. The hardest one is definitely the Speedy Duo one.
• Some tips on the Speedy Duo: Play it on Simple, make sure you remove any normins from the Lord of the Land to lower their level. You’ll need to upgrade equipment for sure, focusing on Arte Attack and Focus as well as improving SC recovery so you can dish out more attacks. The Attack Step battle action will be extremely useful against the bats in the early stages. Bless equipments if needed. Don’t forget to also try using Snacks to boost damage.
• For strategy, you’ll want to spread out so each Rose and Alisha can take out enemies without going for the same one wasting time. The two of them don’t have very many AoE attacks, so luring enemies into one area isn’t the best strategy since they’re pretty slow on Simple.
• If you somehow can’t manage, you can always try going into NG+ and activating Double Damage from the Grade Shop. However, you’d have to get back to the point of having decent equipment then re-starting the DLC with that save.
• After that, head towards the ruins.
• Skit DLC #015: Alisha, Rose, Lailah, Edna | Right before the ruins
• Save Point: Entrance to Elaine Ruins
• Skit DLC #016: Rose’s Frustration | At the save point

Walkthrough – Alisha’s Story Part 2

• Save Point: 1F
• Key Item: Silver Key | If you started a new game here instead of NG+, this has meaning. Othewise, you’ve already opened Silver Chests presumably.
• Key Item: Gold Key | When the routes reconnect, it’s behind the Silver Door in the Silver Chest to the south
• You need the Gold Key to open the Gold Door to the north. Go up the stairs to the next area to 2F.
• Next area, not much here. Simply head up to the next area to the north to 3F.
• Then this next area, nothing more here besides chests with equips and consumables. Head up the stairs at the northern end to 4F.
• On 4F, the malevolence is much more blatant. Head to the mission marker.
• Boss Fight: Vritra and Kadru
• Skit DLC #017: Alisha, Rose, Lailah, Edna, and Someone | Less spoilers
• Head towards the end to the Dark Turtlez Shop.
• Key Item: Purple Crystal Key | Yep, this opens that previous purple door
• Save Point: 4F
• Head up to the next area. This is the hard part of the area.
• 5F Part 1: The north exit takes you to a room with chests, nothing in particular. The south exit progresses you into another ugly area to 6F.
• 6F Part 1: You can’t access the bottom section. The southern eastern exit accessible takes you to 7F – Eastern Treasury. The exit north of that takes you to 7F with a chest (dead-end). Then the exit at the northeast takes you to 7F as well. The western exit takes you to 7F to a chest in a room, and then back down to 6F to the dead end at the very southern end of 6F.
• 7F – Eastern Treasury: Key Item: Crystal Purple Orb
• 7F: Make sure you get the above item first, then take the northeast exit to 7F. In this small dead-end the west wall has a map action that’s purple. The Crystal Purple Orb can open these. Enter the large room. East takes you to a small chest room. West takes you to the other side of 6F. Take that stairs down.
• 6F Part 2: Head through the very linear path until you get to the second room. West is a dead-end with a chest. Go east to progress.
• 5F Part 2: Head north to the fork that shapes like a +, open the west wall. Head west along the linear path until you get to a fork. You can create the shortcut by removing the east wall, but go south at the fork afterwards. You’ll get to a room with a fork, the north-west path leads to a treasure room. Then go south-east to return to 6F.
• 6F Part 3: There are 3 other exits. Northwest exit takes you to a treasure room. Southwest takes you to a dead-end at 7F with chests. After that, head northeast exit to proceed.
• 7F Part 2: Not much to say here, head to the linear path to the next area.
• 8F: Head up to the mission marker.
• Boss Fight: Valkyrie and Roc
• Head along the linear path, most of the walls have items behind them.
• Save Point: 8F
• Head north to the stairs.
• Skit DLC #018: Alisha, Rose, Lailah, Edna, Zaveid
• 9F: The western side is a dead-end so you can go there for items first. Then head north, east, north to the northern area with the exit. You can go south to connect the shortcut. No items in the southeast, one item at the northwest. Exit to the next area.
• 10F: East at the first fork simply gives you a chest and a dead-end. West leads you to the middle. Once at the middle, you can unlock the shortcut to the south. Then up the stairs to the north.
• 11F: Not much here, very linear.
• Save Point: 11F
• 12F: I see the light!
• Boss Fight: Baphomet
• You’ll get a scene after you defeat it.
• Boss Fight: 2x Baphomet
• This fight is also kinda easy, but you’ll most likely have to either use a MAcystic Artes or Armatization to kill both simultaneously.
  Reencounter with Karma
  It wasn’t quite what you’d expected, was it? Nevertheless, this proves you survived a certain battle.

• You’ll get the finale of the DLC. At the end of the DLC, it’ll prompt you to save the clear data. This will let you save the DLC progress you got in terms of items, equipment, skits, etc back into the main game. It’ll be in the same area as the save you used to start the DLC.

Walkthrough – NG+ Setup

Once you’ve beaten the game, New Game+ will unlock in the main menu. Before you head to NG+, here are some things you may want to do.

• Complete your equipment fusion for whatever it is you want. Only two sets of equipment transfer, unnamed equipment and the equipment your characters are wearing.
• Level up Lords of the Land (Max is 25, 30,000 Grade to max each Lord)
• Offer any unused equipment to Lords of the Land, they’re gonna disappear anyways. Barring the two sets listed in the first point.
• Even with all seven Lords of the Land maxed out, you will NOT be able to purchase the entire Grade Shop on your first pass.

Mathematically, you would need 14,475 grade to purchase the entire grade shop. Now this grade differs from the grade you earned from monster battles or offering items. This grade uses the 7 Lords of the Land, and depending on their level, you earn grade for it, up to 1950 grade per lord, meaning it’s impossible to buy everything (provided you own the DLC related to Grade Shop).

Note: If you happen to be looking at this prior to beating the game, your grade cap is Level 20 until you finish the game and its bonus dungeon. After that, you’ll have it uncapped to Level 25.

• If the boost mentions it being a battle action, that means you can disable and enable these boosts at will.
• If you do not see certain boosts, then you do not own the requisite DLCs for them.
• Carry Over Library: If you played on difficulties under Hard, then use this option, the number of battles under each difficulty will be reset letting you earn x2/x3 skils from battle rewards provided your majority of battles is Hard or higher.
• Carry Over Unnamed Equipment: Unnamed equipment are a series of weapons that can be fused with any other weapon, but cannot have its stat increased. They have a base stat of 10, and when blessed, they literally turn into an equipment that has the word Unnamed in it. (i.e. Decrepit Staff –> Unnamed Quarterstaff). These equips you do not have to win from your mirror battle, they will automatically given to you at the start of the game.
• Advanced Divinity: I’m uncertain as to whether or not this breaks specific E-Unions. If you had E-Union 7 specifically to nullify elemental resistance, then I’m unsure if this would break it in the event that combining them would produce a higher E-Union.

If your NG+ goal is just the mirror battle, then it’s probably better that you carry either only Unnamed equips or no equips, thus weakening your mirrors. Also your mirror versions will be a relatively lower level than your actual characters.

If your NG+ goal is hard difficulty and equips, then it’s recommended to farm items and equips prior to then.

Walkthrough – NG+

This section is mainly here to cover the NG+ exclusive achievement:

Wishes Transferred
This is proof that you’ve reacquired the equipment you carried over from your last playthrough in Lakehaven Heights. Future You is cheering you on, waiting to meet you at the end of the game once more.

This can be accessed as soon as you become a Shepherd (your first visit, there are guards blocking the bridge, and you can’t smash the rock just yet). After that, when you chase Mikleo to Galahad Ruins, you will pass this spot.

Now, chances are you won’t be able to beat them for a long time due to their higher level, and your equips. You’ll most likely have to either:

1. Progress the game to the point where you are completing the trials. So when you go to do Lefay’s Water Trial, this is a decent time to do it. If you need certain armatized mystic artes, then it’s a good idea to pick them up.

2. Farm new equipment and fusions while having access to this region. So after purifying Marlind, your next task would be to head towards Glaivend Basin. This is the end point before you’re cut off from Hyland.

Any equipments that your characters are PRESENTLY wearing when you start NG+ will be held by your mirrors. This includes Alisha’s equipment as well. Dezel’s equips automatically become Zaveid’s equips so there’s only one copy of that.

Now, there’s the issue with Unnamed equipment. In the grade shop, there is an option for “Carry Over Unnamed Equipment”. If you select that, that is unrelated to this. Any unnamed equipment you have will automatically be moved to your inventory at the start of NG+.

Chatterbox

Chatterbox
Sometimes, after you’ve found a discovery point or when you’re at a save point, you have the opportunity to press Enter/Back to initiate a conversation between your companions. This is proof that you’ve experienced many Things and had a lot of Opinions about them.

Overall, you only have to watch 235 total skits out of the 336 possible skits. A handful of the skits are mutually exclusive so obtaining all 336 in a single playthrough naturally is impossible. However, following the guide will get you roughly 300 of them, giving you plenty of room for error.

Also, once you’ve cleared the bonus dungeon after completing the game, Katz Korner Skit Katz will let you purchase each skit for 50,001 gald. So add that onto gald farming, and you should be set if you somehow finish under 235 skits.

Chatterbox – Main: 001 – 050

Chatterbox – Main: 051 – 100

Chatterbox – Main: 101 – 150

Chatterbox – Main: 151 – 179

Chatterbox – Sub: 001 – 040

Chatterbox – Sub: 041 – 081

Chatterbox – Etc: 001 – 052

Chatterbox – System: 001 – 024

Combat Related

Having a Blast
This is proof that you’ve reached the maximum Blast Gauge of 9. You can increase your BG using the Stack 3 bonus skill “Blasst”. Coordinate your equipment just right, and you can blast off to new heights.

There are several different ways to obtain this achievement, but your most common way is definitely during battle using armatization. This is why it’s listed here. So if you get one character to 5 Blast Gauge and another character to 4 Blast Gauge, then armatization would give you 9 Blast Gauge for the achievement.

Alternatively, as the achievement suggests, you can try getting 9 BG by stacking Stack-3 Bonuses. See Equipment Fusion – Stacks for more details.

Cruisin’ for a Bruisin’
This is proof that you’ve battled a wide swath of enemies. By the way, the more of the same enemy you defeat, the more likely that enemy becomes to drop equipment with skills attached. Time for some population control!

Defeat 171 different enemies.

Micromanager
This is proof that you’ve fought many battles while controlling many characters. You can take it slow by changing characters in the Top Menu, but if you want to kick it into high gear, there are battle actions that let you switch in battle on the fly!

The requirement for a battle completion is finishing the battle with that character. Which means you’d have to finish 100 battles with every character. If you have extra controllers (at least 2), you can do this in 200 fights, doing 3 at once per 100, then swap to the other 3 for another 300.

I’d grind this all simultaneously near the end so you don’t have to check. Using the Library Records, you can check how many battles you’ve won then simply fight until you’re at 100 more, then swap, rinse and repeat until you get this achievement. Note: Keyboard + Mouse counts as a controller.

Make sure if you use multiple controllers/keyboard that you set them to Manual.

Making the Grade
This is proof that you’ve received over 50 Grade from one battle. Everyone’s amazed that you didn’t buckle under the pressure. You’ve come so far.

This one is actually easy to do, and will come naturally on higher difficulties. However, if you beat any boss on Hard or higher without dying, without using items, and finish them off using a mystic artes, you’re guaranteed to break 50 grade.

Note: Salamander, the boss in Igraine, can ONLY be defeated by a mystic artes. If you have trouble getting this normally, then I’d try getting to Igraine again.

Dietician’s Nightmare

Dietician’s Nightmare
This is proof that you’ve prepared all available snacks. “The people in my video game eat nothing but cake all day, so I’m sorry, Doctor, you’re full of it.”

So this achievement here requires you to prepare all 35 snacks that are in the game. This requires the use of the Snack Preparation Support Talent. All characters have this talent by default.

The skill simply works itself while you play and at random, your characters will various snacks at random. Certain characters cannot make certain things, so I’ll be sure to list each snack as well as who CANNOT make them. The list of characters who can’t is smaller than those who can. The characters will be listed alphabetically. The items will be listed based on snack preparation levels.

I’d also recommend that you make a list and start checking them off. Do note that items you get from chests DO NOT count.

Tips

• Using a controller and rubberbanding the left analog stick will let you automatically farm snack preparations. However, the rate you perform these tasks lowers to 1/40 the rate after 30 minutes of not entering battle or using the menu.
• Having someone with the support talent: Lord of the Lands at Level 22 will shorten preparation time by 50% if you’re in the right land. (Must be on NG+ or beaten final boss)
• Mikleo can prepare everything, but this makes him less likely to prepare specific things. Edna can prepare the least which means the items that Edna can prepare is more likely to be prepared as opposed to using Mikleo.

Difficulty Related Achievements

These will be listed in the order they appear in the guide.

I will only name 1 thing about each of these achievements. The boss name. You can look at the icon to know who it is though. If you’re on your first playthrough, you must do this challenge on Hard difficulty. Otherwise any difficulty after the first playthrough is fine. The second condition is that you are not allowed to use items during this fight. Restarting is fine, but item usage is not.

A Life of Struggle
Either on (at least) your 3rd playthrough or in Hard (or greater) difficulty, win the final battle without retrying! If you can’t feel alive without the icy glare of death at your back, we recommend you start the game in Hard right away! Playing in Hard or higher increases your likelihood of obtaining double-skill equipment!

A Life Facing Malice
Either on (at least) your 4th playthrough or in Intense (or greater) difficulty, win the final battle without retrying! Play long enough in Hard to unlock this more challenging difficulty setting.

A Life Torn Between Order and Chaos
Either on (at least) your 5th playthrough or in Chaos difficulty, win the final battle without retrying! Play long enough in Intense to unlock this ghastly difficulty setting. It’s the only difficulty that offers a chance of obtaining triple-skill equipment!

The Sky’s the Limit
This is proof that you’ve completed all the extra dungeons at difficulty level Normal or above. But further challengers await you, in places you’ve been and places you have yet to be.

Simply beat the final boss in this area on Normal or higher. There are 8 different areas connected to this dungeon, each with a boss. After you defeat them all, you can fight this final boss in the nexus in the middle of the area.

Bested the Worst
This is proof that you’ve defeated a certain powered-up “someone”. Nothing more can be said, nor does it need to be.

This is listed after the Extra Dungeon because you must complete the dungeon to buff the final boss. After which, you must defeat the second stage on Hard or higher.

Discovery Points

General location will be given, but all discovery points are directed in the walkthrough. If you need a specific discovery point, just search for either the name of point or the discovery point number.

Equipment Fusion – Part 1

Equipment fusion is probably the most confusing portion of the game. So I’ll take this time to explain it, the possible skills, bonuses, and whatever it is.

There are two types of skills. Normal skills, and bonus skills. Normal skills are ones that correspond with 1 of the 50 normins in the game. These are not colored. These skills are displayed in the skill chart in the equipment menu.

Bonus skills can be obtained through a number of ways. Group Unions, Stacks, Elemental Unions, Fusion, and by default, depending on the equip. Example: The Irminsul has the bonus skill Axcell as its default skill.

Each skill has two attributes:
1. Multiplier: Exactly as it sounds, it multiplies the current skill in accordance to its multiplier. There are two multipliers, x2 and x3 which are denoted as Double Skill and Triple Skill respectively.
2. Sealed: While you cannot find weapons with sealed skills, sealed skills are denoted in blue text with a key next to it. It means that this effect is currently not in effect. You can unseal these skills by increasing the weapon’s proficiency. This will turn it into a regular skill of the same type.
Sealed Skills are produced when combining two regular skills together.

Example: Difens is Defense +4%. Difens x2 is Defense +8%. Difens x3 is Defense +12%.

Each equipment can hold a total of 4 skills, 1 of which is default. Each equipment has a specific default skill. Example: Sorey’s Amber Sword will always have Difens as its default. The other three skills can be anything, although you will only find normal skills in those slots.

Each equipment also has one or two stats. Example: The Calcite Sword has Attack and Defense. The stat types will NEVER change.

Commonly referred to as “joke” equipment due to their inability to gain stats when fusing, Their ability to fuse any equipment of the same type instead of the exact same equipment however is very powerful. Example: The Decrepit Staff can fuse with ANY staff. No matter what you fuse, the result will always be a Decrepit Staff.

List of Unnamed Equipment

When each of these is blessed, it’ll have Unnamed in its name, hence unnamed equipment.

Now we can finally get to the meat of the equipment fusion.

Weapon Proficiency
1. The higher your weapon proficiency on the specific weapon, the cheaper fusions will be.
2. ‘Sealed’ skills can be unlocked by increasing the weapon proficiency. (Minimum: 1 Star)

How to Fusion
1. Any equipment shop can fuse at the price of gald
2. Lailah and Edna have a fusion support talent. See Support Talents for more details.

Fusion Mechanics
1. You can only fuse equipments that are the same (same name), unless you are one of the above unnamed equipment.
2. Except for unnamed equipment, fusing will increase the stats of the equipment for each fusion (+1 etc). So you can assume that a weapon with +50 has +150 total stats to its default stats.
3. When fusing weapons, the + value is counted when fusing multiple weapons with a + value. You can assume the value of a weapon as 1 higher than its number. Example: A Feldspar Sword +3 would have a value of 4. Then if you were to fuse that with a Feldspar sword +1 whose value is 2, your result would be a Feldspar Sword +5.

Skill Fusion
1. Skill location matters. With exception to unnamed equipment, you will always have the same default skill in slot 1 which means there will never be conflicting skills there.

To better describe how fusion works, two examples are given below:
Due to Valve removing color tags, SEALED skills will be underlined.

Slot 1: The default skill will never change. This is actually not due to the the weapon always having Voyd, but rather that the combination is both Voyd. But in any case, you can’t change it.
Slot 2: This demonstrates if you combine the same skills, you will get the exact same skill out of it. I’m uncertain what happens if you try to combine Atakk + Atakk x2. I assume it drops down to Atakk.
Slot 3: This demonstrates when you combine different skills. You get a sealed skill of Reziss. Every skill combination will produce a specific skill. In this case, Atakk + Difens or Difens + Atakk will always result in Reziss.
Slot 4: This demonstrates when you combine a normal skill with a sealed skill. In fusion, sealed skills are considered to be currently empty, so it’s overwritten by the normal skill.

Slot 2: This deals with the multipliers on both skills. From example 1, we know that Atakk + Difens produces Reziss. Now we take it a step forward by combining two multipliers. It will always go to the lowest multiplier. So a 3 and 2 goes to 2, a 3 and 1 goes to 1. A 3 and 3 will stay at 3.
Slot 3: This combines two sealed skills. Because sealed skills are considered empty, nothing will be in that slot in the result.
Slot 4: Same as above, but with an empty slot. An empty slot will clear out sealed skills.

Fusion Tips
– If you cannot fuse the current weapon without losing the skill you want to keep, fuse another weapon until that slot is sealed/empty.
– If you want a sealed skill, simply use it in battle to increase its weapon proficiency and unlock the skill, making it a normal skill.
– If you want higher fusion counts on your current weapon keeping slots 2-4, simply fuse a different weapon a bunch of times, then clear out its skills before fusing it to the original.

Equipment Fusion – Part 2

Step 1: First off, you will need a Lord of the Land whose level is at least level 5. After that, you must set the boon for Sanctification, which has a cost of 0.
Step 2: After that, you’ll need a weapon that has a fusion of at least +10. Any weapon as long as there’s +10 or higher on it.
Step 3: Now you must directly go to that Lord of the Land and use the menu directly through that seraph. Only then will get you get the ‘Sanctify Equipment’ option.

When blessing a weapon, the stats that the weapon has will be carried over. So it’s smarter to bless a +99 weapon than a +10 weapon for its increased stat. Again, this does not apply to unnamed weapons.

Now the primary function of blessing a weapon is for a Double Skill. The default skill of the previous weapon will now be Double. Example: A Feldspar Sword’s default skill is Tempescht. Upon blessing, it becomes a Plush Feldspar Sword whose default skill is Tempescht x2. Whatever your default skill is, it will become double.

Then, the rest of the skills will stay as normal.

Note: You can still fuse Blessed Weapons to further increase its stats; however, it can only be fused with itself. You cannot fuse a Plush Feldspar Sword with a Feldspar Sword. You can still fuse unnamed weapons with them though.

Excluding blessed weapons, double and triple skills can be obtained through battle drops; however, there are some very specific requirements.

1. The majority of your battles must be played on Hard or higher. Otherwise, you will never get any double/triple skills to drop.
2. You must be on a difficulty Hard or higher currently. Meaning, you can’t have a majority of Hard and above then grind battles on Simple to speed it up. You must stay on Hard or above.
3. Starting a new game+ will reset the counter for the above, so if your previous playthrough was primarily in Simple, then NG+ will reset that and you can earn multipliers for your equipment without grinding for the battle completion ratio.
4. The Carry Over Library option for NG+ in the grade shop will not have an effect on #3. The battle total will carry over, but the difficulties will not.

The drop rate for Double and Triple Skills has a specific formula:

Double Rate: 1 + Sqrt((A-Points) * 100 + B-Points)
Triple Rate: 1/16 of the above rate (Max: 6.3%)

A-Points: If your equipment’s default skill is NOT a bonus skill, then it applies to A-Points.
B-Points: If your equipment’s default skill IS a bonus skill, then it applies to B-Points.

Example: A-Points are only specific to the default skill of the weapon you’re offering. Using the Feldspar Sword again, its default skill is Tempescht. Now we upgrade it to Feldspar Sword +10 and then bless it into a Plush Feldspar Sword. Because your sword has no +, it only counts for 1 A-Point FOR Tempescht. A Plush Feldspar +99 Sword would produce 100 A-Points for Tempescht, meaning anytime Tempescht showed up, it’d be 100% x2 or higher provided you pass the difficulty requirements.

Example: Now B-Points influence ALL skill drops. So, Sorey has earrings named Irminsul whose default skill is the bonus skill Axcell. When blessed, it turns to Yggdrasil Earrings. If you were to grind Irminsul, fuse them to +10, then create 100 Yggdrasil Earrings, then fuse them all together for Yggdrasil Earrings +99 then offered that up to a Lord of the Land, then every normal skill that is dropped will be a minimum of x2 provided you pass the difficulty requirements.

Note: This is really easy to do using an unnamed equip, so you’d only need 200 random items of that type to obtain a +99 Blessed Equipment.

To put simply, if you have equips with the same skill on them, you earn a stack for each slot. If you had two different equipment who each had Difens on them, you’d have a Stack-2 bonus from it. If you had an equipment that had Atakk in two different slots, you’d also have a Stack-2 bonus.

While stacks can go over 16, there is no stack bonus for numbers higher than that:
Also, you can stack the stack bonuses. Replace the Stack with your current stack amount for that stack bonus to calculate effect. If no max is present, then its effect cannot be multiplied.

It should be stated that, for each stack, you only get that specific stack bonus. If you had a Stack-11, you would ONLY get Mistiq and not everything lower than a Stack-11. Now if you had a Stack-11 on one skill, and a Stack-9 on another, then you’d get both Stack-9 and Stack-11 bonus skills.

Given the Max section below, you can have the same stack multiple times to increase its potency provided it can be.

Do Double Skills and Triple Skills create stacks? Yes and no. If you’re on your first playthrough, this will not occur. Once you enter New Game+, the Grade Shop has an option labeled as ‘Skill Extension’ that costs 8000 Grade. This will make them count as stacks.

Equipment Fusion – Part 3

Group Unions (or G-Union) are activated by lining up skills vertically. You must line up all 5 skills in a single column to obtain a G-Union bonus.

Example 1: Atakk is Voyd-1, Mynd is Faira-1, Difens is Urth-1, Resizz is Acqua-1, Spirri is Windur-1. This set completes the the 1st column for the Column 1 Group Bonus: All Stats +20. See the skill chart above.

While these do stack, I’m uncertain as to how far for each.

Similar to a G-Union, Elemental Unions, or E-Unions go horizontally instead of vertical. However, E-Unions only require a minimum of two horizontally adjacent skills to create that union and can go up to 10.

The nature of this bonus skill is similar to that of the stack bonus where you only get that specific bonus skill. So an E-7 Union would only get the E-7 Bonus Skill for that element and not everything lower. But like stack bonuses, you can create multiple elemental unions, however there isn’t much room for that.

E-Unions bonus skills can also be stacked, though its limit is unknown to me.

Depending which element your E-Union is in, replace [Element] with that specific element. The only union that doesn’t work for is the E-2 and E-4 Union which will be clarified under that.

Voyd E-2 Union: Paralysis
Faira E-2 Union: Burn
Urth E-2 Union: Slow
Acqua E-2 Union: Poison
Windur E-2 Union: Fatigue

Voyd E-4 Union: Attack +1 on Level Up
Faira E-4 Union: Arte Attack +1 on Level Up
Urth E-4 Union: Defense +1 on Level Up
Acqua E-4 Union: Arte Defense +1 on Level Up
Windur E-4 Union: Focus +1 on Level Up

Equipment Related

This will simply outline how to get each achievement related to equipment skills and fusion. There is a separate area where I describe how the fusion system works. The achievements are listed in order of difficulty.

Stacking the Deck
This is proof that you’ve equipped items that activate a Stack bonus skill. You can get Stack bonuses by equipping more than one copy of the same skill at once. The more copies of that skill you equip, the cooler your Stack bonus will be!

This is by far the most common achievement. You simply have the same skill equipped twice.
Example: The Feldspar Earrings and the Sword Breaker Sword for Sorey both have the default skill of Mirag. Equipping both would give you the achievement.

Elle Mental Marta
This is proof that you’ve equipped items that activate an Elemental Union bonus skill. Basic skills all correspond to one of five different elements. Equip skills of the same element that line up directly adjacent to each other, and you’ll form an Elemental Union based on how many skills are in the line. Check it out on the skill sheet!

There are 5 elements: Voyd, Faira, Acqua, Urth, and Windur. To get an elemental union, you have to line-up two or more skills of the same element that are adjacent to each other on the skill sheet. High chance that you get this achievement naturally.

Example: Chein is Faira-4, and Mirag is Urth-4. These are both adjacent, but are not of the same element. This would not count for the achievement.

Boss of the G-Union
This is proof that you’ve equipped items that activate a Group Union bonus skill. Each basic skill group has a skill corresponding to each of the five elements. It doesn’t matter where on your equipment you have the skills equipped; just equip all five skills in a group to form a Group Union!

Line up 5 skills vertically on a single character. See Group Union in previous section.

Divine Intervention
This is proof that you’ve equipped every skill for a certain element to achieve an E-Union 10 bonus skill. That strange buzzing you hear? It’s your enemies quivering in fear.

Similar to Elle Mental Marta, instead of just 2, you have to line up all ten skills of a single element. You probably don’t need an example, but I’ll list all 10 skills for each element so you can line them up without having to keep checking the skill chart.

The Blessing Bell
This is proof that you’ve sanctified at least one piece of equipment. A super deal that doubles the effect of the skill in the first slot! Of course, if you’re particularly devout, you can also offer this item to the Lord of the Land and secure a more blessed future for our children.

You need to do two things.

1. First you need an equipment that has been fused 10 items and has a +10 at the end of the name. Example: Feldspar Sword +10
2. You must have a Lord of the Land at least level 5. If your Lord of the Land is lvl 5, then make sure to enable Sanctification in the boon options for that specific Lord of the Land.

If you have both of those, then talk to the Lord of the Land directly for the ‘Sanctify Equipment’ menu. You cannot bless equipment using save points.

A Double Take
This is proof that you’ve acquired equipment with a doubled skill from an enemy drop. Very difficult unless you’re playing in Hard difficulty or higher! There’s a rumor that offering sanctified equipment to a Lord of the Land may increase the chances…

You need to obtain an item drop that contains a double skill. Example: A weapon drop that has Difens x2 or Atakk x2 or anything with a x2.

This does not apply to obtaining a blessed weapon that will automatically create a x2 skill.

Last Stop on the Fusion Train
This is proof that you’ve acquired a piece of equipment with a +99 modifier. Sanctify it, and a whole new life awaits you. Aim for 9900 fusions! No, wait, that’s probably not necessary.

This is fairly self-explanatory. Easiest is to use unnamed weapons that can fuse with all equipment of the same type. (Ragged Dagger + Any Dagger) Fuse until it’s +99..

A Knack for Stacks
This is proof that you’ve created an item of equipment with the same skill in all four slots. That’s at least a Stack 4 bonus skill right there! You can do the Bonus Dance. We won’t judge you.

If you’re unsure how to do this, see the Equipment Fusion. Pretty much, you need a single equip with all 4 skills the exact same. Example: Mirag, Mirag, Mirag, Mirag.

Sweet 16
This is proof that you’ve achieved the Stack 16 bonus skill, the highest echelon of Stack bonuses. Whether this is the end or just the beginning is up to you.

Related to the above; however, double skills can be used. You simply have to get a single character to end up having 16 of the same skills on a set of equipment. If you only use single skills, then you’d need an equipment with all 4 skills, then the other 4 equipment would need all three random skill slots to be that same skill.

Lord of the Land

Landed Gentry
This is proof that at least one Lord of the Land has reached Blessing Level 20. Even when they pass to the stars, they find it hard to abandon those over whom they watch. It seems some remnant of their blessing remains even after you finish the game.

This table matches what you see in the lord of the land menu under Set Boons. It has 2 levels per row.

Note: Prior to beating the extra dungeon after the final boss, your Lord of the Land level is capped at 20. After that, or entering NG+ will unlock it to 25 for that save.

Most important note: Having the ‘Auto’ battle actions will half your grade production.

The most common way is playing on higher difficulties and completing battles quickly without taking any damage giving you large sums of grade quickly. On hard you can expect around 10 grade per battle. On insane, around 15-17 grade per battle. On chaos, 20-25 grade per battle. These are 2-5 second battles.

The next common way requires the use of gald farming, then buying consumable items and donating them to the Lord of the Land. Rinse repeat.

Miscellaneous

Checking Inn
This is proof that you’ve stayed at inns for a total of 10 nights. Resting at inns can give you extra skill effects in battle thanks to mysterious ingredients in the meals you’re served. You can also engage in chitchat with your companions and restore your initial SC to 100. Such hospitality!

This is an achievement you should have by default by result of the guide. If not, just rest at an inn 10 times.

Bookwyrm
This is proof that you’ve become quite familiar with the Library. How to obtain this is kind of a secret, but if you take the time to do a bit of reading now and then, you should be pleasantly surprised.

Each time you check your records, the counter goes up. However, you’re not allowed to open/close it infinitely for this achievement. But if you rest at an inn, and open the records, the counter will go up. So alternate between resting and opening the record if you’re grinding this.

No Ordinary Customer
Shop Level will increase when you buy, sell, or fuse equipment at shops. This is proof that you’ve fist-bumped the invisible hand of capitalism enough to achieve maximum Shop Level. Secret menus unleashed!

At the top left of the shop menu, you should see your Shop Level. Simply use any shop until that shop gets to max level. The higher level your shop, the more items it sells and the more equipment it can hold.

You level up a shop by buying, selling, and fusing equipment.

The Item Collector
This is proof that you’ve collected all items, most of which is equipment. The core concept of equipment is the combination of stat boosts and embedded skills. Items you initially dismissed might in fact hold the key to defeating the most formidable foes.

In the base game, there are 570 items. Then you need a total of 513 items for this achievement. There are 60 total consumable items. Then there are key items, fashion items. There are 35 total snacks as well. Then beyond that, there are several equipment.

Now most of this is done automatically through the game provided you visit the shops often, buy equipment to upgrade yourself and what not. When you’re farming for gear to fuse, you’ll most likely be emptying out shops anyways, so buying gears you don’t own should come naturally.

It’s possible to get this achievement before blessing ANY equipment provided you’ve opened up every chest in the game, and have fought every boss and did all sidequests. If you haven’t, do so. Then we move to blessed equipment.

Every equipment has a blessed version which is NOT the same equip, giving you another counter. See Equipment Fusion – Part 2 for Blessed Equipment details.

Now if that all fails the DLCs will help you as well. While I’m certain fashion items are counted towards the total, I’m uncertain about outfits. I assume they are as they do show up. But Alisha’s Story DLC is a required DLC to begin with, so you can also farm some new items here as well. At the end of this DLC, you’ll be given another save where it’ll leave off where you started when you started the DLC.

Monolith Monomania

Monolith Monomania
This is proof that you’ve found all the stone monoliths and ruminated on their author. Use the battle actions you’ve acquired to unleash the ultimate mystic artes!

There are a total of 78 monoliths in the game. Each monolith correspond to a specific page of the skill. Each entry will give you the category the monolith falls under as well as the page text that it corresponds to. Originally I was gonna give the location, but it’s probably better if you simply search for the Skill name as well as the number that follows it.

Note: Once you collect all 78 monoliths, you must watch the skit ‘Reading the Monoliths’ at a save point to unlock the achievement.

The list below is listed in order as they appear in the Skills, and each page is listed in the order they appear for each skill. So if you’re missing a page, cross reference the text of each page to see which ones you have and don’t have.

Normin

Normin Tamer
This is proof that you’ve found at least 40 normin and convinced them to help out. You’re great at making new friends! But remember, there’s more to come.

You only need 40 of these normins and since Atakk is not missable, you actually only need 39. Getting all 50 is beneficial; however. I’ll list all 50 below and their generic location. Simply search for their name in the walkthrough and click the nearest map.

They are ordered by how they appear in the Skill Book in Library as well as the the Set Normin function in the Lord of the Land menu.

Support Talents

Show of Talent
This is proof that you’ve honed a certain Support Talent enough to be able to teach it to others at the inn. Those who can, do. Those who can even better, teach!

Each character has one talent that they can teach to someone else. You simply need to get to a certain point in the game with that character having that skill at Level 12 or higher. After that, rest at any inn.

Talent Management
This is proof that you’ve mastered at least one of the Support Talents. Slow and steady. You can do it. We believe in you.

Windstepping is by far the easiest to level up while Item Ordering would be the hardest as it requires RNG. Below is a chart of all the skills and their max level and how to level them.

Any skills labeled as walking simply requires you to walk. All of them will increase your proficiency after walking a specific distance.

Now while Snack Preparation and Remedy Preparation are labeled under walking, its proficiency will increase each time you prepare something. You prepare things by… walking.

Note: You can use the famed rubberband method to farm walking distance; however, you can only do it 30 minutes at a time. After 30 minutes, the speed this works at decreases to 1/40th the rate. You either have to enter battle or the menu to reset this 30 minute timer.

Now for Item Ordering, you get to select an equipment shop merchant and an item. Everytime that merchant stocks that item in their shop, you’ll gain proficiency. Now for the most part, this is pure RNG. But you can help them by continually emptying their shops. The higher level the shop, the more items it can hold. If you buy out their inventory, the faster they’ll stock up (every 3 fights) with a full stock every 10-15 fights.

I Am the Wind
This is (WHOOSH) proof that you’ve attained (NEEEAAAROOOOMMM) maximum speed with the (BEEEOOOWWWWWWWW) Windstepping talent.

This requires you to at least get to Tintagel Ruins where you have a Wind Seraph join your party. By default, he has the Windstepping talent. The Windstepping talent goes into effect everytime you complete a battle, and everytime you eavesdrop gossip in a city.

The windstepping will temporarily increase your speed. To increase your speed even more, keep stacking the skill without the gauge expiring. Each time you eavesdrop or complete a battle, the gauge will revert back to max giving you more time to pick up another charge.

The easiest way to get this achievement is at Lastonbell. This area is large enough and has enough gossip for you to keep triggering simply by running in circles along the long slopes, alternating the lines you take so that you can keep retriggering the same eavesdropping points.
