PS3
Do not wait until the final day to count your side quests. Completed requests supply Eradia, strengthen Lightning and open the extra day. Plan the run that unlocks the dungeon first, then use New Game Plus for upgrades that only become available after the ending.
Original 43-trophy PS3 list. Every requirement has an offline route, including the Elixir.
- Calendar: Visit the Ultimate Lair on Day 13 if you have earned the extra day.
- Elixir: Turn in 100 Soul Seeds in the same cycle, without Outerworld.
- Upgrades: Save some resources for the modification systems in New Game Plus.
Assign a quest circuit to each day
Open the five main quests and group nearby side quests. Many characters appear only in specific time windows, so work on another objective nearby when one is not available. Use Chronostasis when you have EP and need to cross a long stretch, without spending the entire reserve before a boss. Keep clearing regular side quests beyond the 25-quest trophy.
- Check the time and region before leaving for a new quest.
Collect the Soul Seeds in one cycle
Look for Soul Seeds in Chaos infusions and turn them in to traders. Seed Collector unlocks at fifty, but the Elixir needs a total of one hundred turn-ins in the same playthrough. Start collecting on normal visits and note the total before leaving for another region; this is not a counter you can split across cycles.
- Do not start New Game Plus until you claim the Elixir if this is your dedicated seed run.
Open the Ultimate Lair and reach Ereshkigal
After the main quests, keep completing requests that yield Eradia until you earn the extra day. Enter the Ultimate Lair on Day 13 and reach the boss on floor 33. Bring separate sets for defence, stagger and damage. After Ereshkigal, check the rewards menu too: collect the Ultimatus garb to finish the associated objective.
- Do not confuse the Ultimatus garb with the weapon and shield earned in the finale.
Prepare Aeronite before the final day
From Day 7, watch for the moving orb of Chaos in the Dead Dunes. Fight Aeronite when your schemata switch quickly between spells and attacks for stagger, defence for heavy blows, and burst damage when it opens up. The dragon can escape if you take too long to stagger it. Save before approaching so you can retry without losing the time window.
- Keep this fight separate from the main story boss route.
Use New Game Plus for upgrades and cleanup
Finish the story and load the cleared file to open the weapon and shield modification systems. For accessories, look for duplicates of treasures collected before and check the upgrade result. Work through the required counters during cleanup and use the new cycle for missed objectives, such as seeds, travel milestones or requests left incomplete in your first run.
- Check each category’s counter before spending more materials.
