Guerranera and the Trophy Hunters
PS3
Keep a chapter-by-chapter log. Timed skits, the Katz quest chain and ending triggers cannot all be recovered from the final save. Plan at least three runs and pick one to give the optional missions proper attention. Many of them advance both the monster book and the last skits.
The second game in Tales of Symphonia Chronicles on PS3. This guide covers Emil and Marta’s campaign only.
- Base list: 41 offline trophies, including the platinum.
- Endings: Normal, True and Bad Endings have different conditions.
- Optional content: Twilight Palace and Gladsheim are needed for trophies.
Track skits before moving chapters
Use a numbered checklist and only tick a skit once you have seen it. Keep Emil’s Timid Boy title equipped until Izoold for the relevant skit. Early in Chapter 3, check the conversation tied to a party of level 1 monsters before training your reserves. Save in a separate slot before major story transitions.
- Check the current chapter’s skits before advancing the story.
Open Twilight Palace through Katz requests
Complete one Treasure Hunter quest in each of Chapters 5, 6 and 7. Missing a step can lock you out of the final Chapter 8 request. In Twilight Palace, check optional paths and continue to Album Atrum. The final reward, Kitty Kat, goes into the monster book and is needed for a skit that puts it in the same party as Izimbra and Aspidoceleon.
- Do not let Treasure Hunter requests expire by moving to the next chapter.
Plan three endings and keep branching saves
For the True Ending, decline the oath at Lloyd’s statue in Luin, clear the Triet Ruins without leaving and re-entering, and dodge lightning in the Temple of Lightning. You must reach both cores ahead of Lloyd. In Ginnungagap, after Richter, let Lloyd and Marta beat you, then win the last duel. Reload and reverse the result against Lloyd and Marta for the Bad Ending.
- The True Ending also unlocks the Normal Ending trophy. For certain titles and skits, plan another run in which Lloyd takes the cores.
Carry over the monster book and plan pacts
Keep each clear file and choose useful Grade Shop carryovers, especially the Monster Book. Separate recruitable monsters from creatures obtained through evolution or as rewards: seeing a monster does not replace the required recruitment. Keep room for new pacts and retain weak monsters for skits that check your party composition.
- Track obtained monsters, evolutions and captures separately.
Clear Gladsheim and finish the remaining goals
In New Game Plus, once you can enter Gladsheim, build a durable party and clear the dungeon to the boss. Check for the Kismet drop because it is tied to its own skit. Then audit the Coliseum trials, pacts, cooking and both difficulty trophies, keeping saves that preserve access to these challenges.
- Check for Kismet and its skit before archiving the save.

Frequently asked questions
Is this list shared with the first Tales of Symphonia?
No. Even on the same PS3 disc, each Chronicles campaign has its own set.
Can I earn all skits at the end?
No. Some check titles, monsters or story conditions during specific windows, and several also depend on Katz quests.
Must I play the whole run on Mania?
For Mania Maniac you can set Mania before the final boss after unlocking it. Unlocking Unknown has stricter conditions and is not needed for platinum.
