Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny: PS3 Platinum Trophy Guide

PS3

On Fenith, the most useful thing you can do is establish a routine. Speak to residents and start fishing and crafting early while progressing requests that open more islands. Watch for Maerwen’s trophy conversation. When she asks if you know about trophies, choose to hear her explanation.

North American PS3 edition of Tides of Destiny. The Wii edition and differently named Japanese trophy lists are outside this guide.

Set: 38 offline trophies.
Long counters: 2,000 fish and 1,500 crafted items for their respective goals.
Conversation: Maerwen: choose to hear her explanation the first time it appears.

Start with Fenith relationships and Maerwen

Visit the mansion and talk to Maerwen regularly as you raise her friendship to two or higher. When the trophy question appears, ask her to explain. Meanwhile talk to other residents and give them gifts. Build friendships on story visits instead of leaving all relationships for after the ending.

Do not skip Maerwen’s explanation when it appears.

Use Ymir to find islands and salvage

Check requests at the tavern and prioritize those that open routes, islands and temples. As you cross the sea with Ymir, stop for salvage and giant monsters. Repeated salvage does not replace raising every island. Keep separate notes for the islands you have found and requests that open more.

Check side requests if your island map is still incomplete.

Spread out fishing and crafting

Unlock crafting stations by visiting residents and gather materials while doing requests. Count items made, not recipe levels. Fish in short sessions throughout the campaign and keep a convenient spot in mind for cleanup. The final goal counts successful catches, so failed attempts do not shorten the list.

Keep inexpensive materials for dedicated crafting sessions.

Finish the temples and open the Coliseum

Follow the story through the temples and keep equipment and healing ready for golem fights and the ending. Look for Jocelyn’s request that leads to the Coliseum late in the game. Bring monster allies if you are struggling and repeat the trials as required for Champion, separate from the first Coliseum trophy.

Check both Coliseum trophies before focusing on the final counters.

Finish monster kills, drinks and colds

Use explored areas for remaining kills: normal monsters are tracked separately from Ymir’s giants. For repeated actions, keep recovery drinks, colds and double jumps separate. One late-night collapse does not complete the illness goals. Finish the goals that can overlap with fishing and gathering first.

Check which cumulative trophies have actually unlocked before repeating an activity.

Frequently asked questions

What if I say I already know about trophies?

The first conversation is the safest opportunity. Some players have seen the event again, but do not rely on that. Listen to Maerwen as soon as you can.

Where is the Coliseum unlocked?

A late-game request from Jocelyn opens the way. Check requests if you cannot find it through exploration alone.

Must I do every activity before the ending?

No. Use the campaign to make progress on the longest counters, then return to your save for remaining activities, exploration and challenges.
