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!

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.

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.

• Exit back to Pearloats Pasture and take the southeast exit to Pendrago.
  
• Save Point: Pendrago Entrance | Again, this is in Pearloats Pasture.

• Skit System #019: Windstepping Isn't Easy-Breezy | When Rose is in your party and Dezel has Lvl 12 Windstepping, rest at an inn
  
• Skit Etc #011: Rose: Expert Storyteller | Rest at the inn after Rose accepts the assassination of Cardinal Forton which already happens. Now this has a chance of spawning, but for the most part it's rare.
  
• If you did Luring or Windstepping, make sure you switch Dezel to something else. So if you have Lvl 12 Luring and not Windstepping, do Windstepping. Vice Versa. Then if Dezel hasn't made Madeline yet, you can set him to Snack Preparation. If he's done all three, either put him on Windstepping or Snack Preparation.
  
• Anywho, exit the inn. Go south, then west up the stairs.
  
• Herb: Chamomile | At the top of the stairs on the right
  
• Normin 18/49: Gaizer | Sleeping on the bench after you're at the top of the stairs
  
• Monolith: Armatization III | From the herb, go north all the way and follow the linear path to a dead-end. You'll end up on the walls. It's at the very end.
  
• Exit to Pendrago - Eastern Quarter
  
  
• Herb: Rosemary | To the right as soon as you enter
  
• Head east then south and up the stairs. As the top of the stairs, take a left and follow that path to a turtlez for a map.

• Skit #175: Georg Heldalf | After you gain control of your characters, look northwest. You should see a portrait. This is actually the discovery point, but you cannot discover it just yet, but this skit should be watched.
  
• Head to the inn for a scene. Soon you'll have to chase after Rose, remember that monolith on the castle wall by going south, west up stairs, then north? Go there.

• Skit System #014: More on Fusion | Must have seen Fusion 101, then rest at an inn after Rose returns
  
• Skit #072: In Midst of the Turmoil | Rest at the inn after Rose leaves the inn for a bit. Must have watched Mikleo's Special Training skit
  
• Once that's all done, you'll have to go to the shrinechurch to progress. Head to Pendrago - Castle Diocese, then go the southwest exit to enter Pendrago Shrinechurch. Pretty skeptical icon for a 'church'.
  
• Once inside, follow the mission markers. Nothing to loot here! Can't even get that save point. After some scenes, and with Mikleo's new artes, head to the Knights' Tower once more.

• Head east here.
  
• Herb: Red Verbena | Red herbs are an upgraded version of their regular self.
  
• Do not go north after getting the herb. Go south until you fall down. Here not many achievement related items so you can wander a bit south and east.
  
  
• Eventually you'll reach the very southern portion of the map where you'll have to do a lot of windrushing over pillars of rocks. Your goal is to make it to the southeast portion of this small area.
  
  
• Once you've crossed the pillars of rock, go all the way north until you meet up with some vines.
  
  
• Discovery Point #33: Petrified Colossus | Before climbing up the vines, look at the southern wall. Tilt the camera up too.
  
• Skit #076: The Mystery Fossil | Discovery Point #33
  
• Up the vines and head southwest.
  
  
• Monolith: Blast Gauge III | Yes, this place has monoliths!

• Save Point: Near Subterranean Lake
  
• Gold Chest located here.
  
• Key Item: Green Iris Gem: Zwei
  
• Skit #162: Watching the Earthen Historia - 4 | Above item
  
• From the save, head north. You'll see the Nine-headed Serpent. This will probably kill you so avoid it for now. Go straight north instead.
  
• Herb: Red Lavender | In the northern cave
  
• Herb: Red Sage | In the northern cave
  
• Discovery Point #34: Tiny Luminescent Organisms | Also in the northern cave, you'll have to look up
  
• Skit #077: The Luminous Lake | Discovery Point #34
  
• From the serpent, head west. You'll make your way back to the beginning. Now take the west path.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• Boss Fight: Breed Wolf | Anomalous Orb 8/36
  
• Skit #029: The Sin of Resonance and Rose's Values | Automatically when you return to the inn

• Boss Fight: Griffin | Blessing Orb 5/14
  
  
• Herb: Red Saffron | After the boss fight, check the northern section near the entrance
  
• Head west. Break the vines and continue that direction. After wind rushing across the gap, go south and up the slope.
  
  
• Skit #083: Life on the Frontier | On the southern slope near the crucible
  
• Normin 20/49: Wundor | After the skit, continue going up until you hit a fork. The normin is inside the left crate

• Fashion Item: Sidekick Mask | Chest
  
• Discovery Point #35: Grifkyte | It's behind the treasure chest across the gap
  
• Skit #078: Grifkyte in Flight | Discovery Point #35
  
• Now back to the fork, take the west path which leads you to Gododdin, the Forgotten Village.
  
• Save Point: Gododdin Entrance
  
• Monolith: Commands II | Entrance
  
• 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 Sage | ON the right behind a boulder
  
• Save Point: Yder Cave Entrance
  
• Yep, you're going in.

•

• Exit west to Yder Cave - West
  
  
• Head all the way to the very south.
  
• Discovery Point #40: Helictites | The spiral tipped rock at the very southeast corner of Yder Cave - West
  
• Skit #080: A Helictite | Discovery Point #40
  
• From the discovery point, head west. Take the north at the fork.
  
• 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 System #017: Never Needed Money Before | Must have Lvl 12 Item Ordering with Rose
  
• 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.
  
• Head left and you'll get a small fight and a scene.
  
• After all that, head to the inn.
  
• Skit Etc #015: Great Power Comes at a Price | Rest at any inn after Edna gets her Giant's Strength map action
  
• Talk to all of the villagers for another scene. Before we progress here, we're gonna clear out a section of Biroclef Ridge.

• First off, head all the way to the east. To the east of the Cambria Caverns entrance, you should see a gorge that you can't jump over. One of the northern rocks can be broken using your new obtained Edna's Giant Strength. Break it and windrush across.
  
  
• Herb: Red Chamomile | To your left after crossing
  
• Save Point: Eastern Ridge Entrance

• Monolith: Status Ailments III | Right in front of you
  
• Head north. You'll find a locked gate where you'll need Lailah's Map Action. 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.
  
• Normin 24/49: Shokk | At the end of the north fork of the hallway
  
• Back to the hallway, make your way to the southwest room here. Light the four torches here to unlock the door. Go through the door and light the torch there to raise the lava.

• Skit #087: Seraphic Powers | Discovery Point #39
  
  
• With everything setup, head downstairs. If you want items then to the north area where you opened the door but couldn't cross. Once here, simply windrush across the platforms.

• Skit #091: Sorey's Take on Rose's Take | Save Point

• Continue southeast through the yellow door. At the fork, head northeast. Go through the yellow door. Then at the next fork, go southeast. Follow the path to the end, it'll turn left northeast. Open the yellow door there.
  
• Key Item: Small Blue Tablet | Same Thing
  
• Exit to the northeast using the new blue tablet. This will be the first area.
  
  
• From the exit point, follow it ignoring the first fork. At the dead-end fork as you descend stairs, go northeast towards the blue door. After the doorway, you'll end up at another fork.

• Return to Weylish Ruins. Enter it. It's the closer red exit. The far northeast one is the Earth Trial.

• The path is pretty much a helix here. Which means both directions will single-handedly get you to the end, so simply go in one way, go out the other.
  
  
• Take the west path. I will note that there are Arcane Bottles behind that gate. Very pricy stuff. Continue the linear path to the stairs down.
  
• The paths cross here, so we'll take the north half. Head to the center of the map and go north through the gate with windrush. The northeast room here can be opened using Mikleo's map action, as noted by the blue stones.

• Head back up to the previous area. Then go west to clear out the part you didn't visit. Just a peach gel. Exit the area.

• Head to Morgause, Shrine of the Earth Trial. It's to the northeast.

• Heavy note: do not quell the boss using Spectral Cloak until you reach the save point at the end of the shrine. There's a skit that's missable.
  
  
• Exit to the west then turn north. You'll be in the room with the Minotauros. Ignore him and go north then west. You'll find a staircase descending. Go down and go to the end. Use Giant's Strength on all four pillars to lower them.

• After that, head to Gramps' house. You'll trade the pipe for an elixir.
  
• Exit for a scene. Then head to the ! marker on the map for another scene.
  
• Skit Sub #021: This is Between Them | After the scene above
  
• Talk to Lailah. When she asks to depart, select yes.

• Now we shall go play tag. Head to the Noble's District. You'll see several purple stars on the map but you'll quickly run into a scene. The stars will disappear. Head back to the Central District and follow the purple star.
  
• 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.

• Windrush across the gap and enter the shrine.

• 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

• Skit Sub #069: Edna's Victory (Dezel) | After completing the Crucible
  
• After all that, head back to the first fork. The second fork southeast takes you to Guinevere, Shrine of the Wind Trial. You can pickup the save if you want.
  
• But head to the first discovery point and go north.
  
• 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.

• 5F: Small stone statue to the northwest, Windrush into that then make your way to platform. There's another statue just to the west, windrush to that to remove the other door. Head to the elevator at the southeast. Take it up.
  
  
• 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
  This is proof that you've picked more than 100 herbs. Don't hesitate to use them when your initial SC gets low and you're stranded far from town.

• Head to the inn now. Rest for two skits.
  
• Skit Etc #051: Sauna Chat: Men's Angle
  
• Skit Etc #052: Sauna Chat: Ladies' Angle
  
• Leave the inn and talk to the man near the fountain that's a sub-event. He'll mention Mayvin.

• Enter manually from Zaphgott Moor, it's the closest access point.
  
• Go to the ! on the map. Talk to the seraph next to a tomb.
  
• After the scene, head to the save point just outside of Trizolde Cave.
  
• Skit Sub #075: The Truth Behind Mayvin | After the above event

• If you don't have Gramps' Pipe, you're gonna need it. It's in his house on the bookshelf.
  
• Also, you must have purchased all 6 Turtlez maps and then meet the Turtlez at the middle of the Great Camelot Bridge.
  
• Head to the Noble's District then towards the sub event on the map. After the event, talk to the katz.

• Welcome to Katz Korner!
  
  
• Fashion Item: Kitty Cap | Giant gold chest to your right.
  
• Side Note: This chest generates more goodies despite being a town chest.
  
• Herb: Red Chamomile | West side near the bridge
  
• Discovery Point #72: Tiger-Striped Foxtails | North of the east bridge next to the river
  
• Skit #147: Foxtail Soup | Discovery Point #72
  
• Now next to the discovery point are two katz: one for skits, one for cutscenes. After you beat the game, you'll unlock a bonus area. After you complete that bonus area, the skit katz will let you PURCHASE skits that you've missed. This is extremely important with regards to the Chatterbox achievement. 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.

• Head to the mission marker here, you'll meet a pair of Sparrowfeathers members. You'll get more intel regarding this. Head to Dumnonia Museum in Marlind.

• Boss Fight: Orc Kong x2 | Anomalous Orb 35/36
  
• After the fight, you'll have to head to Tintagel Ruins, old Scattered Bones hideout.

• Exit using the ladder to get a scene.

• Head to the scene. After that, head to the nearest save point.
  
• Skit Sub #019: One More Thing To Say

• Head to the center of the bridge. Talk to the seraph marked with a sub-event, he'll mention the Legendary Wyvern.

• It's near the middle up north. The island closest to the northern entrance, so you'll have to approach it from the south.
  
• 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!
  
  
• Skit Sub #061: Is Zaveid Hiding Something? | Automatic
  
• Fashion Item: Leather Belt | Gold Chest on the docks to the southwest
  
• Head towards any save point.
  
• Skit Etc #031: A Job Well Done | Use a save after obtaining all 36 Anomalous Orbs

• Enter from Elysia. Go down the stairs and into the main room. After going through the door, you'll have to walk around a giant statue.
  
  
• Discovery Point #67: Stern Thunder God Statue | That giant statue you just walked around, look at it from the east
  
• Skit #150: Statue of the Thunder God | Discovery Point #67
  
• Head down the stairs to the west.
  
• Save Point: Westernmost Ruins, Inside the Great Statue
  
• Enter through the door to enter 'Depths of Mt. Mabinogio Ruins'
  
• Head straight for a scene.
  
  
• Herb: Red Lavender | The scene will walk you forward, walk back to the previous room and it's near the doorway on the north side
  
• Head to the mission marker. You'll be trapped in Symonne's illusion. Go straight ahead, you'll probably get blocked by some invisible walls, but the navigation is pretty simple.
  
• Boss Fight: Sorey and Rose Illusion (Fire & Earth) | Easy fight, just make sure you're not using the same element as they are.
  
• Herb: Red Sage | First row, south room
  
• Normin 46/49: Sheeld | First row, north room, east
  
• Fashion Item: Round Sunglasses | Chest next to Normin
  
• Herb: Red Chamomile | Second row, north room
  
• Head to the mission marker to do the same illusion fight.
  
• Boss Fight: Sorey and Rose Illusion (Water & Wind)
  
• After the fight, you can active the warp, then use the save.
  
• Skit Sub #055: What Rose Wants | After defeating Armatized illusions of Symonne
  
• 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.
  
• Skit Sub #013: It'll All Be Okay | Automatically after eavesdropping to her adjusting to politics
  
• Fashion Item: Round Glasses | After the skit

• Next up is Edna's sub-event. Head to the top of Rayfalke Shrinecrest, you won't be able to access the Summit save point due to an event that occurs before that.
  
  
• Once there, head to the scene, then head to the summit.
  
• Boss Fight: Eizen | [HARD DIFFICULTY - NO ITEM USAGE ACHIEVEMENT] | Ancient Orb: Kun | Armatize with Mikleo and use Six Falling Stars
  
• Herb: Red Lavender | At the summit
  
• Discovery Point #66: Grave Atop the Mountain
  
• Skit Sub #004: Eizen's Grave | Discovery Point #66
  
• Skit Sub #005: Thanks | After defeating Eizen, walk down the summit
  
• Fashion Item: Pet Dragon
  
• Head back to Ladylake and rest at the inn.
  
• Skit Sub #060: Hearts of the Seraphim | Rest after defeating Eizen
  
• Head back up to Eizen's grave for a scene and Edna's second Mystic Artes.

• Head where you left off. Go west.
  
• Boss Fight: Symonne

• Head to Pendrago's inn and use the save here
  
• Skit Sub #008: Misunderstandings Left Alone | After defeating Symonne, use this save

• 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

• Simply head to the end of the Mt. Mabinogio Ruins where you fought Symonne.
  
  
• Save Point: Near Village Entrance
  
• Skit #155: Pity for Symonne | Save Point, first visit
  
• Discovery Point #68: Camlann's Founding Monument | The smooth gray rock on the left as soon as you enter the village

• Boss Fight: Odin | Languid Sword
  
• Head southwest from the Dark Turtlez up the hill.
  
• Discovery Point #69: Burnt Remains of Shepherd Michael's Home
  
• Skit #151: Michael's House | Discovery Point #69
  
• Normin 47/49: Priventi | Inside the east corner of the house, you can talk to Priventi through the corner
  
• Boss Fight: Hecatoncheire | Ragged Dagger
  
• From the Dark Turtlez head northwest.
  
• Herb: Red Verbena | Northeast at the split (dead-end)
  
• Monolith: Difficulty Settings IV | Northeast at the split (dead-end)
  
• Exit up the giant staircase.

• Save Point: Atop Bridge Entrance
  
• Skit #156: Malevolence in Camlann | First visit, save point
  
• Skit Etc #030: Like a Blank Page | Save point after obtaining an unnamed weapon, you must have defeated either Odin or Hecatoncheire, or both. You'll be finding more bosses with unnamed weapons soon.
  
• Head inside. Northeast has chests.
  
  
• Southwest is a deadend.
  
  
• Northwest is the progression route. Go northwest and you'll be in a big room.
  
• Discovery Point #70: The Crest of Innominat | From the big room, go across to the other side and go through the door and up those stairs and through that door. You'll see a big octagon crest on the wall.
  
• Skit #153: The Unknown Crest | Discovery Point #70
  
• From the big room: Elixir to the northeast. Exit northeast.
  
  
• Head straight and remove the malevolence with Flames of Purification. Windrush across the gap.
  
• Herb: Red Rosemary | Just to the right of the stairs
  
• Enter the building.
  
  
• You'll get some torches exactly like the Fire Trial. Light the torches in order of numbering at the base of each torch from the direction the numbers are on. Take the center door to a spiral staircase, go up and exit.
  
• Boss Fight: Catoblepas | Decayed Paper
  
• Return to the torch room and take the northeast door. Go down the stairs.
  
  
• Exit southwest.
  
  
• In this next area, you'll want to remove the malevolence to the south, but don't cross it. Exit to the east route (northeast from the malevolence barrier).
  
  
• 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
  
• Back in the room with the windmills, exit southwest.
  
  
• Herb: Red Chamomile | North of the stairs
  
• Enter the other building.
  
  
• There's only one way to go here. Second door has a chest. First door to progress. Use Flames of Purification to remove the malevolence. Head southwest through the door. Head southwest all the way, the rooms are mirrored like the first room you ran through. Exit southwest.
  
  
• Follow the linear path to the next area.
  
  
• Enter inside and you'll get five pillars to smash with Giant's Strength. One room has loot, the stairs goes up to the boss.
  
• Boss Fight: Ammit | Mangled Umbrella
  
• From the main room with the (probably broken) pillars, take the south door and go downstairs.
  
  
• Exit to the northwest.
  
  
• Outside is pretty linear until you get to the fork with the malevolence. You can remove the malevolence, but take the northwestern door. The southeastern door leads back to the beginning.
  
  
• Once inside, follow the linear path to the main room and go up the stairs. This is also very linear, until you get a split at the end. Go northwest first.
  
• Normin 48/49: Invalada | At the end of the northwest path, at the west corner
  
• Discovery Point #71: A Hoard of Ritual Swords | At the end of the northwest path, on the northeast wall
  
• Skit #154: Relics of the Shepherds | Discovery Point #71
  
• Exit to the southwest now.
  
  
• Outside, the chest has a Marron Glace. Then head west for the exit.
  
  
• Head southwest now and go up the stairs. As you may expect, Spectral Cloak is the only unused skill, so you'll use it here. Side room for a chest. Spiral staircase for a boss.
  
• Boss Fight: Dinosaur | Decrepit Staff
  
• Exit to the southeast now.
  
  
• Herb: Red Saffron | Just to your left as you exit
  
• Head to the mission marker. Head to the save afterwards.
  
• Save Point: In Front of Highest Stairs
  
• Skit #157: At the Heart of the Malevolence | Final Save Point
  
• This is practically the end game here. But we got a few pit stops to finish first.

• Well, it doesn't have to be Lastonbell, but it's my favorite town. Pick any town and rest at the inn.
  
• Skit Sub #041: The Ultimatum | After finding all normins (48 excluding Atakk, 49 including Atakk), rest at an inn
  
• After that, head to Igraine, the Shrine of the Fire Trial.

• You can take the only warp there. The boss is waiting at the final room. Head there for a scene.
  
• Boss Fight: Phoenix
  
• 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 #042: A Message from Phoenix | While walking out of the boss room
  
• Skit Sub #043: Phoenix Phorever | Immediately after the above skit
  
• Normin 49/49: Phoenix
  
• Fashion Item: Mini-Normin

• Head right into the final area. For the record, you can fight Heldalf as many times as you want afterwards. Ultimately, you do have to beat him on the hardest difficulty, Chaos, or get to the 5th playthrough without retrying. The retry portion is only specific to his second stage.
  
• 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
  
• Monolith: Advanced Techniques IV | Next to the herb
  
• 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!
  
  
• Fashion Item: Danger Jr. | After the skit
  
• Herb: Red Lavender | In the very northern section of the map
  
• Herb: Red Rosemary | Directly east of the Full Dragon Skeleton discovery point
  
• Herb: Red Verbena | Eastern cliff of the northeastern section
  
• Head to the southeast section of the map. In this section head to the southern point, you should see a white katz standing on the shore. Not marked on the map. You'll not only restore the blessing here, but you'll also receive a free map.
  
• 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.

• Exit to the next area.

• Boss: Jade & Sophie
  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.

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 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...

• 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.

  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

• 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.

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.

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
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.

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
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.
