Tales of Arise Trophy Roadmap
- Estimated trophy difficulty: 4/10
- Approximate amount of time to platinum: 50-70 Hours with Standard Edition (Deluxe/Ultimate Edition times can be faster by a few hours as they come with many items that make the game easier and quicker)
- Offline Trophies: 48 (1
, 2
, 11
, 34
) - Online Trophies: 0
- Number of missable trophies: Potentially 1
- Ceaseless Chatterbox (view 300 skits) – always press
when the prompt shows in bottom right corner to trigger a skit. Do this at the end of every area before exiting it. However, you do get another chance to listen to them at campfires but it’s unclear if you can still reach 300 this way if you were to always ignore them. So to be safe, always listen to Skits as they appear.
- Glitched trophies: There are some reports of story trophies not unlocking, it is recommended to make a manual save before each Lord (story bosses) and if a trophy doesn’t unlock reinstall the game, reload save before the trophy and redo the relevant part. Reinstalling the game should fix it in most cases.
- Does difficulty affect trophies?: No, can do everything on easiest difficulty
- Minimum Playthroughs: 1
- PS4/PS5 Autopop & Save Transfer: Yes, with latest patch installed you can autopop all trophies from PS4 to PS5 (this didn’t work at the time of the game’s launch but was later patched in)
- Free-Roam After Story?: Yes, there is still free-roam after the story. The only area you can’t go back to is a ship (Mobile Fortress Gradia) in the 4th Realm “Mahag Saar”, but any Loot Chests/Owls you forgot there will get washed ashore in Thistlym so nothing from there is missable (can still grab it later at any time from beach in Thistlym)!

Welcome to the Tales of Arise Trophy Guide & Achievement Guide! Tales of Arise is a large JRPG, consisting of about 30 hours main story content and about 30 hours worth of side content and exploration. For platinum you need pretty close to 100% completion but most of the collectible trophies are lenient and allow you to skip a few. There are no difficulty-related trophies and everything can be done in 1 playthrough (New Game+ not required). The only thing you should keep in mind is to always view all skits when the prompt comes up in the bottom right corner.
Step 1: Finish Story & Do Side Content as you play through the Game
Your primary focus should be finishing the story. Along the way you can already do any Sub-Quests and pick up any Items/Collectibles you see. Without doing the side content you would be constantly underleveled. So ideally, do everything in one area before moving on to the next. What difficulty you play on doesn’t matter for trophies and you can change it from the game settings at any time. Feel free to play on Easy difficulty. If you get stuck at a boss, buy some “Life Bottles” and “Orange Gels” from a merchant, you can use these to self-revive and to restore CP (allows you to keep casting healing spells). This way you can brute force the difficult bosses.
Along the way, you can already follow the Owl Locations Guide, this saves you some backtracking later and they unlock many useful items and gear that’s useful during the story (talk to Owl King in Owl Forest to get the rewards). Alternatively, you can also still find all Owls after the story if you prefer, none of them are missable.
There are a few important points to remember:
- From the beginning of the Game – Skits: You need 300/320 Skits. They are bonus dialogues that must be manually triggered when an prompt shows in the bottom right corner. ALWAYS do these before moving on to the next area. It’s fine to press Options > Skip, they still count (no need to listen to the full skit or click through each dialogue manually). If you forgot to trigger a skit, you get another chance to listen to it when resting at the next campfire. You only need 300 of 320 Skits, so it’s fine to forget a few.
- 2nd Realm (Cyslodia) onward: After cooking at campfires, you will get an optional dialogue prompt where you can choose to spend extra time with a companion to improve your bond. This isn’t available from the start, only after reaching Messia 224 in the 2nd Realm. It only counts if there’s a dialogue icon with 3 dots behind the character name and afterward it says “You are now closer to this Character”. You need to max out your relationship with all characters. It’s nothing missable, but the earlier you focus on it, the better. There’s a cooldown after doing it once (about 1 hour), so whenever you see a campfire check if new dialogues (3 dots behind character name) are available. You can still do this after the story.
- 4th Realm (Mahag Saar): In Mahag Saar on your way to the 4th lord boss, you will go on a big cruise ship (Mobile Fortress Gradia). After defeating the 4th lord (Lord Almeidrea), the ship will sink and you can never return to it. There’s one Owl on this Ship (Owl #26: Butterfly Wings). It’s recommended to pick it up at this point, but if you forgot it, it gets washed ashore in Thistlym later so you can also pick it up from there. Luckily, it’s not missable, just a bit confusing because it has 2 possible spawns. Any loot chests you forgot on the ship will also get washed ashore. It may seem missable at first, but it isn’t. This is just a note to let you know it’s in fact not missable, so don’t worry about it, you can still grab this and all other owls after the story! If in doubt, refer to Owl #26 in the Owl Locations Guide.
Just keep those 3 points in mind. Other than that, play the game as you like.
Step 2: Remaining Sub-Quests & Collectibles
After the story a few more Sub-Quests will appear. Now you need to backtrack and finish any Sub-Quests and Collectibles you have left. Focus on finishing all Sub-Quests first, because most Collectibles are automatic rewards for doing them. Then mop up missing Collectibles afterward. The Collectible Progress can be tracked under Menu > Field Guide > Play Records. Click the linked guides below for everything trophy-related:
Along the way you’ll also gain more Level-Ups, Crafting Materials, Money, and should end up with enough SP (Skill Points) to unlock 400 Skills.
Step 3: Level 100, Crafting 100 Weapon Types, Miscellaneous
At this point you may have a handful of trophies left, likely including: Reaching Level 100, Crafting 100/103 Weapons, beating Group Battle Ultimate at the Training Grounds, 300 Skits Trophy, Buying 400 Skills.
Refer to the trophy solutions below for whatever you have left. Start by reaching Level 100 (Endgame XP Farming Guide) after you did all Sub-Quests and Collectibles. This will make the remaining tasks much easier.

 |
Wall Smasher Forge strong bonds with all party members as a testament to all the many hours spent together. |
|
| When resting at campfires, after choosing whether to cook something or not, you will get to choose which party member to spend time with. This isn’t available from the start, the option becomes available at the campfire after leaving Messia 224, after Rinwell joined the party.
It only counts when there’s a dialogue icon with 3 dots (…) behind the party member’s name during the campfire. If it shows a happy smiley face you’ve maxed out the bond with that character. See the image below of what dialogues count:
If the 3 dots aren’t behind of their name, spending time with the party member does nothing and you can skip it and go straight to sleep. If the 3 dots are there, you will get a longer dialogue sequence and afterward it will say “You are now closer to this Character”. You can’t simply repeat this at the same campfire multiple times in a row. Once you’ve picked a dialogue with one party member, the option will be grayed out for all of them for a limited time. Check every 1 hour (real time, not in-game time), after having killed some monsters and/or leveled up. If you have been playing main quests for 1 hour but didn’t come across a campfire, fast travel back to one to check if a new dialogue is available. There are several of these dialogues per team member (around 6 or so). So talking to them once isn’t enough, it has to be done several times until the 3 dots in campfire screen turn into a smiley face. After maxing out the relationship with one character, it also unlocks their Ultimate Arte. You must max out your relationship with all 5 party members by doing this repeatedly. There’s also a bronze trophy for maxing out the relationship with each individually: List of Party Members required for this:
Alphen doesn’t matter for this since he’s the one initiating the talks with other party members, he can’t be selected for campfire dialogues. Hootle also doesn’t matter for this. Given the time it takes to get platinum, you should have no trouble doing this along the way and you should be done with it well before having finished all Sub-Quests. |

 |
Arms Stockpiler Forge 100 types of weapons. Such dedicated forging teaches that every weapon has good points. |
|
| For this you need to craft 100/103 weapons in the game. There are 103 weapons total but for this trophy you must only craft 100, allowing you to skip any 3.
Weapons are forged at any merchant standing next to campfires throughout the game. These require specific materials that are dropped by enemies. All Weapon blueprints come from Main Story Progress (new ones in each Realm) and also from Sub-Quests. So you’ll have to finish the story and complete the Sub-Quests to have access to all 103 weapon blueprints. This will be one of your last few trophies. It shows a green star “Created” in the bottom right for weapons you have previously forged. You are allowed to sell outdated weapons to get some money back, they will still have the green “created” star in the crafting menu, no need to keep them in your inventory.
You can keep track of your total progress under Menu > Field Guide > Play Records > Weapon Types Forged. For Weapon List and Crafting Material Locations, see the below guides: » Tales of Arise – All Craftable Weapons & Required Materials |
||
 |
Jeweler Craft 30 accessories. The search for the perfect balance between form and function never ends. |
|
| For this you can craft the same accessory type 30 times. It doesn’t have to be different types (e.g. crafting 30 Poison Charms would be fine). You can do this at any merchant standing next to campfires throughout the game. Accessories provide passive stat boosts to your characters.
You must mine the blue crystals found in almost every area to get crafting materials for accessories. If you don’t want to waste materials, you can make a manual save beforehand, craft the 30 accessories, then reload save. You can keep track of your total progress under Menu > Field Guide > Play Records > Total Accessories Created. |
||
 |
What’s in a Name? Learn your first non-DLC title skill. Whatever you go by, that name shall become a source of power. |
|
| See trophy Myriad Monikers. You get your first title automatically as part of the story, after finishing the first sub-quest that the story forces you to play. |
||
 |
Myriad Monikers Learn 400 non-DLC title skills. Fame and renown bring a slew of aliases from friend and foe alike. |
|
| For this you need 400/450 purchasable skills, so you can skip any 50 skills. There are 6 playable characters with 15 skill panels (DLC skills don’t count). A skill panel is basically a skill tree or skill set. Each skill panel consists of 6 skills.
Technically, there are 540 skills (6 skills x 15 skill panels per character x 6 characters). However, only 450 skills are purchasable and only those count for the trophy! The tricky part is to first unlock the skill panel itself by doing specific actions in the game, only then can you buy the underlying skills in exchange for SP (Skill Points). You get SP automatically for every battle you fight and also from Sub-Quest rewards. See the guide below for unlocking all Skills. You should get almost all of them automatically while going for the Sub-Quests and other Collectibles. |
||
 |
Hundred-Hit Smackdown Get over 100 hits in a combo. Band together and don’t let your enemies strike back. |
|
| This will come naturally, don’t even worry about it. You’ll fight so many bosses throughout the game that a 100-hit combo is guaranteed.
The best way to string together long combos is to let every character’s Burst Attack charge up first (glowing character icon in bottom left of battle screen). Do some normal attacks and combine them with Artes, if you’re close to breaking a combo you can make use of the Burst Attacks (press directional buttons) to do some more hits. This works well against large boss monsters that have a lot of health. Just play the game as you would normally and it will happen without trying. If you still don’t have it after doing all other trophies (very unlikely), you can do it in the Ultimate Team Battle Challenge at the Training Grounds in Menancia > Viscint. |
||
 |
One-Hit Wonder Deal 10000 or more damage in one hit. It takes a warrior’s all to deliver such a fantastic blow. |
|
| 10,000 damage sounds like a lot, but this is guaranteed to unlock automatically on your path to platinum. In the later game when you’re level 90+ you will easily do 10,000 damage in single hits.
You need to reach level 100 for trophy “Peak Strength” anyway. If you don’t have the trophy by then, the easiest method is to go back to one of the starting regions in the 1st Realm and attack a low-level enemy. Your Artes will easily do 10,000+ damage to low-level enemies, if your level difference is big enough. Finishing moves (pressing direction button to finish off an enemy) also deal large amounts of damage and you’ll likely get it from such an attack near the end of the game. Equipping a “Warrior Emblem” Accessory can help too, it boosts attack damage by 15%. |
||
 |
Diligent Counterattacker Perform 100 Counter Edges. Make your enemies fear every missed blow with these retaliations. |
|
Press |
||
 |
High Roller Spend 400000 gald. In this party, if something’s for sale, it doesn’t stay that way for long. |
|
| Spending 400,000 gald (money) sounds like a lot but actually isn’t that much in the end-game. You get lots of gald from sellable materials (which are worth a lot in the endgame), and also from doing Sub-Quests.
An easy method is to craft some weapons, resell them, craft them again. You can do this at any merchant found at campfires. So you don’t even need 400,000 gald total because you get some cash back with this method. You can also sell valuable items to the merchant that have otherwise no use. Additionally, sellable items can be farmed in Menancia > Viscint > Training Grounds > Group Battle > Cash Prize (60 minute cooldown). While doing all Sub-Quests and searching for all Collectibles you get tons of sellable materials and easily over 400,000 gald. Make a manual save before spending all that money so you can reload it after the trophy to have your money back. Also, you’ll have to craft 100 weapons for trophy |

Encyclopedia Zeuglica Encounter 120 types of non-DLC enemies. Careful observation is sure to reveal their weaknesses. |
|
| This will come naturally while you go for all Sub-Quests and Collectibles. There are 181 Enemies in total (110 Normal Enemies, 51 Unique Enemies, 20 Gigants). For this trophy you only need to encounter 120 of 181.
You will encounter different types of enemies in each area. Simply walk up to them and enter combat with them once. If you’re still missing it after having done all Sub-Quests and Collectibles, compare with the lists below which ones you’re missing and where they are. The “Unique” enemies are all encountered automatically during main quests and sub-quests. The only areas you don’t go to automatically during the story are:

Part 3: Otherworldly Visitors

||

 |
Dilettante Obtain your first non-DLC artifact. Its strange, beguiling form never fails to shock and intrigue. |
|
| See trophy Curious Hobbyist. You get your first artifact automatically as part of the story, during Main Quest “Valley of the Four Winds”. |
||
 |
Curious Hobbyist Obtain 20 types of non-DLC artifacts. Amassing such a big collection is nothing short of a calling. |

 |
Novice Rancher Collect your first harvest on the ranch. Each life taken is raised well with love and respect. |
|
| See trophy Veteran Rancher below. |
||
 |
Veteran Rancher Collect 50 harvests on the ranch. The meat produced sustains the party and its cause. |
|
|
To unlock the Ranch you must first complete Sub-Quest “Pharaia Ranch”. Quest Location: Menancia (3rd Realm) > Traslida Highway
Once this has been unlocked, you can manage your farm by talking to the farmer or by talking to any merchant at a campfire. You need to send some animals to the barn and select what feed they should receive (the most expensive one for 600 gald is best and makes them grow faster). Once the animals are ready for harvest, you receive a popup on the right side of the screen “you have livestock that has reached maturity”. For Chickens it takes about 20 minutes (real time, not in-game time) to reach maturity, they are the fastest growing animals and are the best pick for trophy purposes. For Guards you can leave the default 2 dogs & 2 cats. The way the game counts the “50 harvests” can be a bit confusing, but no worries it’s not bugged. It doesn’t count the amount of meat your harvest. Instead, each slot counts only as 1 harvest no matter how many animals or meat that slot spawns. There’s a maximum of 5 slots, meaning you can get only 5 harvests at most each time (1 slot with animal sent to barn = 1 harvest). Repeating this 10 times with 5 barn slots will be enough to get the trophy. So even though you might receive 25 pieces of Chicken Meat from one harvest of 5 groups of chickens, it will only count as 5 for the trophy. You can keep track of this under Menu > Field Guide > Play Records > Total Livestock. |

Owl Spotter Find and report 13 owls. The lonely forest is beginning to show signs of feathered life. |
|
See trophy  Owl Homecoming for all Owl Locations. There are 38 Owls but for this particular trophy you only need to find and report 13/38. The trophy doesn’t unlock right away after finding the 13th Owl, you must also talk to the Owl King to trigger this trophy (“The Owl Forest” Sub-Quest in Realm: Cyslodia / Region: Nevira Snowplains).

 |
Owl Scouter Find and report 32 owls. The forest is now starting to teem with hordes of hooting owls galore. |

Ceaseless Chatterbox View 300 skits. Despite all their time together, the party never runs out of things to discuss. |
|
| Skits are the dialogues (mini cutscenes) that must be manually triggered when an prompt shows up in the bottom right corner of the screen. There are 320 Skits but for this trophy you only need 300, allowing you to skip any 20.
This might become potentially missable if you constantly ignore all skits! If you only missed one or two it’s no big problem, but if you missed a large amount you may need to start over. Skits come from the following:
You don’t need actually listen/click through the dialogues. Pausing and choosing “Skip” is fine and counts, that’s what I personally did for all 300+ skits and got the trophy just fine. You can keep track of the total progress in Menu > Field Guide > Play Records > Skits Triggered. IMPORTANT: It might not unlock even though it shows 300/320 (or more) in the Records Menu. If this is the case for you, you must go to a Campfire > Reminiscence > click through all the ones with a blinking green book icon (those are new ones you haven’t viewed before, they already count towards the Play Records Menu, but don’t count for the trophy until you clicked on them). Here’s how many Skits I had at various points throughout the game:

Arms Stockpiler which costs a lot of money, and should get the trophy in the process.
Changelog:
- 2021-09-12: A workaround has been found to get Owl #26 Butterfly Wings if you missed it on the ship in 4th realm (it gets washed ashore in Thistlym). Thus, it’s confirmed that nothing related to owls is missable. So one less thing to worry about.
Proud to bring you another early Trophy Guide with Tales of Arise, in time for its Japanese Release date 🙂
This was my first “Tales of” game and I absolutely loved it. One of my favorite games this year, I highly recommend it. Didn’t have a single bug or crash, game is nicely structured and comes together very well. Good progression curve, good mix of side content and story and good amount of content.
Hope you enjoy it!
With Deluxe/Ultimate Edition you get lots of materials and permanent boosters from the start. Platinum would be a bit faster with that.
Also, there is no save game transfer from PS4 > PS5 currently (hopefully the function will be added in the future).
Is there an upgrade option for the deluxe/ultimate edition content?
I ordered the Collector’s edition and it just has the standard edition in it.
@Jonathan says
September 8, 2021 at 8:49 pm
I looked it up on PS Store, it’s not exactly an upgrade but the essential items referred here are sold separately as DLCs: Premium Item Pack ($9.99 USD) and Premium Travel Pack ($4.99 USD).
It’s still cheaper than getting the Deluxe edition but you just miss out on the Premium Costume Pack ($14.99 USD).
Note: Premium Costume Pack and Premium Item Pack are bundled as Adventurer’s Pack ($19.99 USD).
Damn, you guys are simply amazing! The game isn’t even out yet and there is already a awesome plat guide. Please keep up the good work!
Honestly I was not expecting such an in depth Tales of trophy guide from PowerPyx and I was pleasantly surprised! Just got my hands on the game and installing now, can’t wait to play through it. Thanks for the hard work!!!
Thank you for the trophy guide. Looking forward to playing this soon since it’s getting good reviews and the Platinum trophy difficulty is reasonable. 300 skits is a lot though, I’m hoping it’s easy to not miss them.
However, I do dislike the fact that the more expensive editions have items which shorten the time to completion (that might be sold individually?) and the multiple cosmetic DLC microtransactions the game will have.
The 300 Skits sound like a lot but they happen naturally as you play, so it’s nothing you need to go out of your way for. They’re not “real” Collectibles, just dialogues that happen along the way 🙂
I’d estimate that the Deluxe/Ultimate Edition shortens time to plat by 5-10 hours. The main reason being a mod that reduces all crafting expenses to only 1 material. This completely cuts out the grind for crafting materials (of which you need a lot to craft 100 weapon types). The 20% EXP Boost and SP Boost also help to level up quicker and unlock all 400 Skills quicker. But you can do it all just fine with Standard Edition, not too big of a time difference, just slightly more grind for materials.
Thanks for the extra information. I guess the 300 skits should be fine then and 5-10 hours more without the items isn’t as bad as I thought it would but the game would be better without this nonsense.
I recently finished Scarlet Nexus which was also published by Bandai Namco where I had to grind for a few hours to reach level 80, however that game doesn’t even have a more expensive edition which reduces the grind, so shame on the publisher for doing this with Tales of Arise.
Just notices that Skits can pop up at the Campfires “Reminisce” section.
I missed one early on and it showed up while taking a rest.
So maybe Skits aren’t missable at all?
I was thinking the same but I’m not 100% sure if ALL skits can still be triggered retroactively if you ignored them.
I forgot about 10 skits in the early game (because I didn’t pay attention to them until I realized what they were). When I got the platinum I BARELY ended up with 300 (303/320), having done everything I can think of.
The ones that haven’t been viewed earlier have a green icon at campfires. However, when I watched these, my skits counter in Game Records didn’t increase from it.
Hence, it’s better to play it safe and trigger them while going through the game. That’s what I can confirm to work 100%.
You say Owl Scouter is missable. But if there is only one Owl missable this trophy shouldn’t be a problem because you can get 37/38 if you miss the one.
And you need to have 32 owls for this trophy
But thank you for this guide. Just quickly looked over it about the missable. But this doesnt seem bad at all
The last 6 owls only spawn after finding 32/38. So Owl Scouter is indeed missable. If you only have 31/38, then #33-38 won’t spawn, thus you get stuck with 31 owls.
I’ve added clarification in the missables overview “Owls #33-38 only spawn if you found all other 32 Owls before.”
Is there new game+ with grade shop where u can buy all skits?
Wow, I’ve just seen the Steam page and the game has 24 “DLC” packs that cost a total of £109.06 (which is way more than the £39.95 I just paid for the game) which includes level up and gald (in-game currency) microtransactions.
I know the Tales series has a history of microtransactions but this is insane, they better not mess with the economy and balance of the game to incentivise people to spend money on this rubbish.
Do we now if this game will auto pop the platinum on the PS5 version? Looking to play it on PS5 but if it has that then I might stick with PS4.
There is no save transfer from PS4 to PS5. Hence, also no autopops.
Gotta replay it from scratch and redo everything.
“Glitched trophies: none”
Me: *unmissable story related trophy and maxing Laws friendship trophies never popped*
?
Thanks for reporting! Are you playing PS4 version or PS5? Which region is the game (North America/EU/Asia)?
Which story trophy exactly was it?
For Law, does it show the smiley face at campfire dialogue screen? The smiley icon is confirmation you maxed out his bond, if it’s not there you haven’t completed it yet.
I had zero issues and the people I talked to also got platinum fine without problems.
It may be an isolated issue, i.e. something went wrong during trophy set install (this can lead to single trophies bugging out that are not bugged for anyone else). Reinstalling the game and redoing the trophy requirement would fix it if that’s the case (reload save before popping the trophy you missed and redo the part that pops the trophy).
I’ll keep an eye on what other players report in the coming days. I’ve heard someone else say they didn’t get a story trophy (although keep in mind the one for recruiting Dohalim unlocks at the end of Menancia story arc and not immediately, which is normal).
This also happened to me tonight. Have maxed friendship with Shionne and Rinwell (smiley faces) with no trophy pop. PS5 Digital edition.
Shionne the Fashion Critic is probably glitched? I am past the second realm but whenever I go visit the man he is still looking for the garment. Does it take time for him to find it or is it only me?
I talked to him again after finishing the main story and he had found the clothes. I just checked an old save before 4th lord and he couldn’t be talked to then, seems normal, don’t worry about it. Just visit him again after the main story.
At one point, you’ll be locked out of fast travel for a while. When it is available again, you’ll be able to complete the quest (it was still locked before that point).
When you miss a skit does it immediately become available in the campsite?
Only if the Skit appears on the corner.
Let’s say like this, you finish a story content and Skit A appeared, if you do not activate, you can see the skit at the campsite menu, but if Skit A is a chain Skit that has Skit B, Skit C, and Skit D after A, only A will appear at camp, all other’s will be counted as missed because you did not activate Skit A, the same applies with Skit C if you do not activate Skit B and same with Skit D for the same reason.
I know because I started a bunch of chain skits at the arena and forgot to activate, only the first appeared and all others were missed.
Just to let you know the owl on the ship isn’t actually missable. It relocates to somewhere else if you miss it first time through.
Thanks for reporting!
I looked into this and can confirm it does get washed ashore in Thistlym if you forget it on the ship. So while the location on the ship is missable, the owl is not because it has a 2nd spawn and gets relocated to the beach in Thistlym after leaving the Ship. Missed loot boxes from the Ship also get washed ashore there.
So this means nothing related to Owls is missable. It has been updated in the guide accordingly. One less thing to worry about.
Estimated trophy time for platinum trophy can be changed to 50-60 hours for Ultimate Edition, I got my platinum around 52 hours
Owl Scouter is not missable.
So the other related Trophies are also not missable.
Why is Ceaseless Chatterbox missable, if i get a chance to trigger missed skits at camp fires?
Some on PSN Profiles have reported some story trophies and maxing out friendships have not been popping, anyone else having issues with glitchy trophies?
Update: A workaround has been found to get Owl #26 Butterfly Wings if you missed it on the ship in 4th realm (it gets washed ashore in Thistlym). Thus, it’s confirmed that nothing related to owls is missable. So one less thing to worry about 🙂
It could be helpful if we get a record of skits at various points throughout the game. Maybe markers after each of the lords or after certain quests. Also, I’ve noticed that skit style cutscenes count toward this. I was kinda paranoid that I wasn’t getting the prompt often enough for 300+.
I apparently have had some glitched trophies today.
One-Hit Wonder (I did over 13k with a boost attack; no big deal, because it should unlock later)
High Roller (my log is showing well over 400k – I expect that it will eventually trigger)
Liberator of Dahna (I’m a few past “The Water Lord” )
Owl Scouter (32 owls … yes, I talked to them again – hopefully it will unlock on a later visit – maybe when the others are released?)
PS5, btw
Same here, The Water Lord and Owl one did not pop at all for me.
I read somewhere else that manually restarting or reinstalling the game fixed it for them. Will try it later.
Owl trophies only unlocked for me when I went back to the forest and talked to them
Update: I closed the game completely and reloaded my save. When I bought something and talked to the owls, those trophies popped. I’m not sure what’s going to happen with the Liberator of Dahna trophy, yet.
Man im on skit 295 and trying to find the last 5 you got any ideas what I can do?
Actually just got it did some training room and that was my last 5
The Over Limit tutorial is a great place to get the 100 hit combo trophy FYI
I’m also glitched on “Liberator of Dahna”. Would definitely recommend saving before the boss!
I just defeat Valrhon the 5th Lord and I’m just about 167/320 skits is this normal?
From the top off my head, I recall my skit count also being quite low by that point so that sounds about right. I wouldn’t worry about it, there is a ton of endgame stuff to do that gets you more skits.
I’ll go back through my old saves and add my skit count after each lord to the guide in a bit (just finishing up Deathloop guides at the moment, then I’ll get back to it).
thanks PowerPyx for the update 🙂
Skill unlock Recipes have Skits, make sure all 6 Party Members are available or they wont auto pop after cooking a dish.
Some Skits are really random, like spending a lot of money.
Always rest at Campfires after a few battles, to check new Unique Character Skits.
I currently have 282 and I’ve not finished the story. I had 149 on an old save looking for Pelegion. I’m pretty sure I have at least 8-10 left from fishing, campsite convos, and the training grounds. I’d think you are in a decent spot.
Just got the platinum. Thanks for the guide!
PS5 ASIA CHINESE DIGITAL VERSION
After defate 4th lord, I never pop another trophy
missing a lot of trophies, I should have been Plat
PSN:Noire0210
No trophy popped upon completing the Reminiscence Device. It took the screenshot but didn’t actually register the trophy. Same for the platinum, I’m on PS5.
I added a note earlier today to the “glitched trophies” section that some stuff doesn’t pop. Reinstall the game and reload your manual save from before that quest. Then redo the quest and it should pop. Reinstalling helps with this in most cases.
Without uninstalling, it corrected itself after I manually closed the game and the data synced.
I think that the estimated time to platinum should be amended I platinumed it in 48:30 with the just the standard edition with no dlc.I played most of the game on easy but that wouldn’t make a huge difderence.And im sure it can be done faster.Maybe amend it to 48 or 50 without dlc.Theres no way this takes 70 hours unless you deliberately wander aimlessly for 20 or 25 hours lol.
Yeah I may lower it down a bit. I assume you skipped through skits though? If you watch ALL cutscenes and skits the story alone is about 30-40h without any side content (but can rush through it in 20h if you skip everything). Personally, I had the Ultimate Edition so had to give it a rough guess how much longer it would take with Standard (main difference being not having access to the best artes, slower leveling during story, needing to grind more materials for 100 weapons). About 50h is manageable though if you play efficiently.
My time was 62 hours and 40 minutes. I never skipped a skit, but I would occasionally advance the dialogue.
100% depends on your playstyle. I’m at 94 hours and haven’t even finished the story. It’s actually beyond me how hard you’d have to rush through the game to finish it in under 50 hours.
hi i am at the point where after going on lenegis for the first time i have to get back on the ship to leave. I have 228/320 skits, you say it’s okay?
I don’t have a record at that exact moment, but I had 223-237 around that time (sorry for the range—223 is what I had when I entered the maintenance passageway on Lenegis). Of course, there are also variables related to side quests, campfire skits, etc. I finished with 307.
I just finished the game with 282/320 skits. I haven’t touch the training yet, not finished will all the sub-quest, artifacts, fishing, recipe etc. Hopefully I can get at least 18 more skits =(
Just wondering are the only missable skits the story related skits? Not including relationships, subquest, recipes.
Thanks for the guide. Platin in 55 hours with 308 skits. Ultimate edition on normal.
Shionne’s bond trophy and 38 owls trophy are glitched for me ? anyone has the same issue. p.s i changed the difficulty mid story although other trophies are unlocking just fine since i changed the difficulty.
Luckily I have a save before the requirements of the two trophies been yet met, it unlocked after redoing it again. I bet what cause the problem was the Rest Mode function i was using the Rest Mode while the game was running for 6 days on PS5.
I changed from Normal to Story after I completed the story, probably did no.1 and no.2 of each character’s bonds before I changed down to Story, all unlocked fine with no issues.
Owls were fine as well. Make sure you are aware that some of them don’t appear until certain points.
I didnt pay attention to all the kits, im now at world 4… is it still possible to get all 300 kits?
I got 319 Skits at the end, the missing one is either from all Treasure Chests found, all Items or all Accessories created.
You can view missed Skits at the Campfire, marked by a green icon.
I’m kinda sure that Skits are not “missable” as a whole.
You can get Skits from fishing Boss Fishes, Ultimate Training Grounds, Cooking Recipes with all Characters, visiting previous locations at post game and completing the Stats Section, like finding all Astral Flowers, fighting every Monster etc.
I’d missed 1 skit, watched it at the campfire, and when I got to 299 skits (would’ve been 300) the trophy didn’t pop.
It wasn’t until I actually hit 300 skits that the trophy unlocked.
So I’d say Ceaseless Chatterbox is definitely missable if you ignore everything and wait to watch them at the campfire.
Hmm, thats interesting, if it doesnt count when u watch a campfire skit, it is definitly missable.
I think i watched around 50 kits at the campfire… i hope it still counts. Eventually with an patch/update
I watched 3 skits at the campfire during my playthrough. When I got to 300 in play records, the trophy popped. As far as I can tell, watching them at the campfire doesn’t seem to matter. YMMV though, wish we had a definitive answer on this for the community.
I’m pretty sure the skits aren’t missable, because if you count them early, the “missed” ones are still counted in the journal. Ie. if you check your journal and it says you have say, 50 skits, then go to the campfire, you’ll have 50—even if that includes ones you “missed” and haven’t even “watched” at the campfire yet. I did this early on, I checked the counter and it always matched the number of skits at the campfire whether I missed them or not. I think the sheer volume of skits just has people thinking that missed ones aren’t tracked toward the trophy yet. My money is on simply meeting the requirements for the skit to be available equals unlocking the skit toward the trophy, viewed or not.
In other words, I’d bet you don’t even have to “watch” them at the campfire if you missed them for the trophy to pop. The tally in play records (from my experience) matches the skits available, watched or not—just count them yourself and see!
The only compelling argument for missable I’ve seen is people claiming they’ve surely seen them all and not hit 320 in the play records… I don’t buy that, there are some obscure skits, for example ones tied to cooking a certain dish. If you haven’t cooked that specific meal yet, you might be missing a skit. I’d say odds are better people have missed skit requirements as opposed to the play records counter not tallying “missed” skits.
Bibliophile didn’t unlock for me after completing. Is there a fix?
PS5/North America/Physical Edition
Big Game Hunter trophy glitched after finishing every sub-quest. Any fixes?
“Putting the Past in its Place” popped for me, but didn’t unlock. Incidentally, this was the last trophy I had before the platinum, which also popped but didn’t unlock. ‘Problem Solver” also popped at the same time and is unlocked (it popped first). I’d guess it has a problem with unlocking multiple trophies at the same time?
The screenshots are sitting in my gallery, taunting me. Fortunately, I happened to have an autosave waiting for me just before I finished the quest so I’m hoping just doing it again will work.
Make lots of saves before you do anything that will earn a trophy. And check to make sure they are unlocked before continuing.
Help!! I have every trophy besides the encyclopedia zeugle. It will not pop. The field guide says I have every creature accounted for, but no trophy!! Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Playing on PS5.
Finally, got the Elite Vanguard trophy. Defeating the group arena didn’t seem possible until i discovered the artifact for 100% damage dealt and 100% damage received artifact. It made the arena alot less stressful, beat the group arena with all party members alive.
I’m having trouble unlocking Novice Rancher, I’ve maxed out at least 7 animals and it still hasn’t unlocked. Anyway to get around this?
A little update after today’s patch.
You can now transfer your PS4 data to Ps5. If you platinumed the game on Ps4 you can now upload and download that save file on your PS5 and get an instant platinum. It cannot be done from PS5 to PS4.
since update 1.04 for the ps4 version (released 21st november) you can transfer your save to ps5
patchnotes from version 1.04:
Improved features for transferring the save data from PlayStation®4 system to PlayStation®5 console.
@Brian, I got the Encyclopedia zeugle trophy after defeating the Sword dancer. Located before the final boss in a room called ” astral Energy convergence Zone” Enter the 3rd teleporter on right that leads to the “Water astral energy zone” Also the trophy description says “non DLC”
Didn’t have any trophy glitch, but I’d keep more than one save. I’d also backup savedata by manually uploading to the cloud then if anything happens just retrieve your savedata from savedata management.
But, I didn’t have any trophy glitch.
No skit is missable if you check your journal after viewing a skit at a campfire your overall count increases if you haven’t viewed it before. About 80% of the skits come naturally just by completing the campaign. The rest come from revisiting areas you already visited during the post game, character specific skills, the arena, cooking, fishing etc
The skits from fishing are pretty easy if you get the fishing rod from the arena and have all the lures. Most lures come from different shops at inns or by catching a specific amount of fish and then talking to the fishing master.
Fishing is actually really easy, because all you do is press the right button combination for whatever fish your trying to catch.
Be sure you view as many skits as they become available, by viewing skits at the campfire you can just skip the skit you don’t have to view it.
You get character specific skills from cooking, sub quest etc and unlocking character specific skills oftentimes a skit.
Also by finding a specific amount of owls, you get a good amout of skits once your rewarded for finding a specific amount of owls.
