These are M-sized ship furnishing that will randomly generate items after sleeping/resting. The items are very random, ranging from basic items, very cheap amount of fol or to ultra-rare minerals and materials. You can save first before opening the boxes and reload if you get mundane items.

Successfully complete the game. Load your cleared saved game file. Enter the left door after going up the stairs after the final save point. Defeat the Undying Dragon to get the Darkness Ring. Return to the Coliseum in Tatroi. Go to the end of the left hallway on the first floor. Use the Darkness Ring on the glyph in the wall to access the Cave Of The Seven Stars bonus dungeon.

There is a hidden shop in En II's Centropolis area. It is located to the farthest right of the Capsule Resort inn, by the grassy area.

Successfully complete the game under the Universe difficulty setting.

If you start a new game from your cleared gamesave, you will have the option to keep Faize in your party after the long battle against the Phantom Soldiers. However, Arumat will still appear during cutscenes and you can't trigger the Private Actions meant for Arumat.

Use the following trick to guarantee you capture the Boss information. Because you only have one chance to fight them, save the game before the battle. After defeating them, save the game in a different slot. Reload the saved game created before you fought the Boss. The information that was unlocked for defeating them will still be present.

Once you reached the Van Elm Region in Lemuris, max out the analysis of the Apprentice Scumbag and transfer it to a Monster Jewel.

The Scumbag’s jewel will allow you to earn an additional 15% fol after every battle - an indispensable way of getting rich early in the game!

Use the following trick to get very early party SP. Just outside the Urd Falls Cave as you are moving toward the downed ship is a save point. To the east side of this save point are two bug encounters that are very close to one another. You will need these two monsters to create the ambushes you need to fill up your bonus board. First, save the game. Reload the data to clear your current bonus board. Next, draw the two bug encounters together, then initiate combat. As you fight these battles, do not fulfill any bonus conditions (do not defeat multiple enemies with one strike, end the battle on a critical hit, or down an enemy using only Special Arts). When the second battle in the ambush begins, you will gain one green bonus tile for the ambush. Win this fight, collect your reward, then enter the Urd Falls Cave. Turn around and exit. Go back to the two bug encounters and repeat this process thirteen more times. If you can manage to not gain any other bonus tiles, you will have a bonus board filled with green tiles, each granting 1 SP at the end of every battle (giving you a total bonus of 14 party SP for each victory). You may consider saving two slots at the top or bottom to fill with HP/MP regen tiles, but this is entirely optional. Now, simply wander around, fighting everything in sight. The critical hit rate on all the monsters is extremely low but you may wish to switch over to Reimi and avoid contact with the enemy all together. In about an hour, you will have in excess of 500 party SP. Your experience and Fol levels will be rising as well, making the coming Boss fight easier. You can spend the party SP to increase Edge and Reimi's skills and still have more than enough for Faize and Item Creation. If you are really dedicated, you can max out your current skills as well as the purchasable skills in the alien base after you defeat the Boss and return to the crash site, and still have an enormous amount of party SP at your disposal.

Use the following trick for easy SP, experience points, and Fol. At the start of Disc 2, you will reach a town called Tropp. Before you enter Tropp, you will see two Albero di Anima's next to each other to the right of the entrance. A battle with these one of these two will almost always result in an ambush giving you a SPx1 bonus on the bonus board. When the bonus board is filled, after every battle you will receive about 2,500 in experience points, 2,000 in Fol, and 14 SP points. Just go back to Tropp, where the inn is very close, then exit to respawn the enemies. Repeat this as desired.

After getting Bacchus and if Lymle mentions that she and Bacchus are playing hide and seek, you'll notice that Bacchus is nowhere to be found. To find him, go to the men's bathroom and continously open the door. He should appear there briefly.

After getting Reimi for the first time, there is a harvest point near the save point, just outside of the Calnus. It is replenished as soon as you enter the ship so enter/exit the ship after every harvest to get an unlimited amount of blueberries, aquaberries, some quest and item creation components, etc.

When you land on Earth in the 1950's, talk to the man in glasses. After that, go to the building with the garage sign or back into the scientist's house and open the refrigerator. You should be able acquire black berries, fresh sage, mixed syrup, and aqua berries. Repeat this to max out your inventory with those items.

There are certain monsters that appear once per monster group. To increase your chances of encountering two of them per monster group, let them surprise attack you. This doesn't work on all monsters though. There are monsters that will always appear as a single unit per monster group, no matter how you initiated the battle.

Woodley is the first location in the game where you can start pickpocketing people, animals - and even your team mates (while inside the ship). Before you start pickpocketing like crazy, I must warn you that each of your party memnbers has a 2 or 3/ 10 chance of "catching" you stealing. Unfortunately, they won’t react and you’ll have no clue as to when you’ve been caught or not. But one thing is for sure though; if they caught you in the act, you’ll automatically lose an affinity point (your relationship for your party members will be affected negatively) so pickpocket ONLY if the target has a rare or uncommon item. Most of the items that you can get can be bought or simply trash so you shouldn’t have any problems deciding who to steal from.

First, you must teach Edge the Pickpocketing manual that can be bought from the bookstore. Purchase a Bandit’s Glove and equip it to him as a wrist accessory. Approach your target and press B to attempt pickpocketing. Your chances of success depends on your current skill level for pickpocketing vs the character’s pickpocketing resistance (also with levels 1-10). You can attempt as many times as it takes; however, they will only carry one item at a time. A pickpocketing list will added in various locations as you go through this guide so make use of it to help you decide your targets.


AchievementHow to unlock

You can steal once from your team mates though only some of them has pretty valuable loot.

Faize - Monster Jewel
Bacchus - Defense Seeds
Sarah - Bracteate
Myuria - Green Beryl

Synthesis is a new mechanic that will be unlocked in item creation as soon as Sarah joins the team. In simpler terms, synthesizing an item means that you’re upgrading it. The good thing about synthesis is that you can combine even the simplest food item to a weapon, armor and accessory. Be careful though; synthesis is permanent. An item can only have up to four factors or additional effects.

Synthesis is fairly simple. Choose a weapon, armor or accessory you want to synthesize, then choose an item you want to combine it to. The game will let you see a preview of the bonuses to help you finally decide what to combine. Different items have different effects; some add ample bonuses to the stats or provide additional effects like auto-counter or attack absorption.

Some items that you may consider combining are the following:

Natto, Barrier Breakwater - +10-15% resistance of all status ailments
Crystal - increase chances of critical hits
Angel Feather + - +20 to all stats
Seeds - +XX% to various stats
Various foods - +FOL, +EXP, various stats
Fainting Potion - +80 guard
Minerals - add elemental damage to attacks, shoots elemental projectile when attacked

Synthesizing an item will change its name (e.g. "item-R01") to help you identify which item you have synthesized, if ever you have multiple copies of that item. Accessories are your best option to synthesize, since you don’t need to change them often unlike weapons and armors.

After you have beaten the game once, reload your save and enter the left door up the stairs after the final save point which allows you to fight the Undying Dragon. Once you beat the dragon, you receive the Darkness Ring. Go back to the Colosseum in Tatroi and go to the end of the left hallway on the first floor. Use the Darkness Ring on the Glyph in the wall to uncover the secret entrance to the dungeon.

On the planet that you find Lymle "Lamaria" or something like that, the castle like area that you need to collect shining stones to turn over pillars to access the top levels. There are three sets of battles on the bottom-most floor that you can easily set up to be ambushes, Once you fill your bonus bar with SP chips you get 14 SP per battle, with 8 battles being on the bottom floor you can gain 112 SP per run if you battle just the monsters on the bottom floor. At first it may not be really easy to defeat them, but once around level 25 or so you should be able to defeat each enemy in one combo, and defeat the entire floor of enemies in about 5 mins. This equates to some serious SP, I left "Lemuria"? with over 2000 SP and I've kept everyone at or Above level 5 on all skills (except field skills which I maxed at Lemuria) since then without any problem whatsoever, and I've still got over 1000 SP at all times. Super simple grind with amazing results. | Submitted by ZacheryBaum

Defeat Gabriel Celeste at the end of the Cave Of The Seven Stars bonus dungeon. Then, use the elevator in En II to go down to the Old Road to Sanctuary. Speak to Barago to go to the entrance of a new bonus dungeon. In the Wandering dungeon, you will not know the enemies that will appear in battles, and the floors are generated randomly. There are no save or restoration spots. Defeat the Ethereal Queen on floor 20 to continue playing the dungeon endlessly.
