Tales of Graces f Original PS3 Platinum Guide

PS3

Start growing the Eleth Mixer and collecting titles during the story. One-minute bosses are easier on a prepared run; the difficulty clears call for a pre-boss save and should be checked before finishing Zhonecage.

Original Western PS3 edition with 50 trophies. Remaster Grade Shop availability and options do not apply here.

Titles: 100 for each of the six main party members, 80 for Richard.
Mixer capacity: Target: a capacity of 9999 reached through growth.
Difficulty clears: The Chapter 8 final fight counts for Chaos.

Load the Mixer during the story

Set a dish that triggers in the battles you normally fight. Each use grows the Mixer’s capacity, so keep it refilled and use books that help growth or reduce consumption. When you have the ingredients, Miso Stew is useful for steady progress. Avoid a Grade Shop bonus that raises the cap directly to 9999.

Check the capacity after an ordinary activation when close to the cap.

Prioritise party members you use less

Switch equipped titles to learn skills and look for battle requirements you can work on together. Save Richard’s final cleanup for Lineage & Legacies, where he is available again. Inn requests and skits point to more goals. Count acquired titles themselves: progress towards a skill on an existing title is not another title.

Check the 100- and 80-title targets before changing cycles.

Unlock Chaos before Zhonecage

Fight 200 battles on Hard to unlock Evil, then 300 on Evil to unlock Chaos. Save before the Chapter 8 final boss. You can change difficulty for that encounter without repeating the whole story, but check the unlocks for each required setting. Do it before clearing Zhonecage, which powers up the final boss and makes cleanup harder.

Keep a pre-Zhonecage save until all difficulty trophies have been checked.

Prepare the sixty-second bosses

Keep separate slots before the timed encounters. For a speed attempt you can lower the difficulty and focus on damage, while the Chaos attempt must retain its own setting. If the party cannot finish the boss within a minute, return with stronger gear or use the next cycle with appropriate Grade Shop bonuses.

Record completed speed bosses, including Fodra Queen in the epilogue.

Finish Lineage & Legacies and the post-game

Load cleared data for the Lineage & Legacies arc and continue Richard, Mixer and remaining requests. Prepare a slot before Fodra Queen if the minute is still missing. After checking the Chapter 8 difficulty clears, finish Zhonecage and return for the powered-up Lambda Theos fight.

Use the trophy list to distinguish the timed Lambda Angelus fight from Lambda Theos.

Frequently asked questions

Must I play the whole story on Chaos?

No. The trophy checks the Chapter 8 final boss with Chaos selected.

When should I finish Zhonecage?

After recording the ending difficulty trophies: clearing it powers up Lambda.

Can I hit 9999 through the Grade Shop?

Let a dish trigger the final increase. There are reports of missed unlocks when a NG+ bonus jumps straight to the cap.
