Ys: Memories of Celceta

PS Vita / PS4

The forest rewards a methodical first run: every map edge, chest and urgent request can save an entire cleanup run. Use New Game Plus for Nightmare and items excluded by earlier choices. Keep a separate save for Time Attack and Boss Rush.

52 trophies in the shared PS Vita and PS4 list. The European Vita release arrived in 2014; PS4 was remastered in 2020.

  • Map: Finish the map percentage, including boundary tiles.
  • Missable checks: Urgent requests and enemies summoned by Bami and Gadis.
  • Suggested runs: Collection run, then Nightmare in New Game Plus.

Map the forest starting in Casnan

After the mine, sweep both sides of paths and inspect minimap boundaries. A blurred edge can remain uncounted even after you reach the next node. While returning to unfinished areas, pair mapping with chests, resource points and memory orbs, tracking each separately.

  • If a map fraction is missing, sweep boundaries instead of repeating the center path.

Finish urgent requests before moving on

Check the board on arrival and after plot events. Save before taking an urgent request and finish it before progressing. For Touche, Salesman, watch the three errands in Casnan, Selray and Highland. In Comodo, check the solo Duren duel for Better Man even if you are already tracking every quest.

  • Record the successful outcome, not just the quest name on the board.

Protect the bestiary and chest run

During the Bami and Gadis encounters, defeat the summoned enemies before the boss. Open every chest in one playthrough for Treasure Hunter. Chests respawn in NG+, so picking up only the one you missed will not finish it. Rotate active characters during regular fights to advance skills and every member’s usage trophies.

  • Before finishing the boss, check which enemy is still missing from the journal.

Use NG+ for Nightmare and remaining weapons

Save clear data and start Nightmare. Account for registered items: collection progress carries over and some weapons need a second choice you could not cover on the first run. Enhance equipment and practice Flash Guard and Flash Move during regular fights. This prepares you better than an improvised long time trial.

  • Do not lower the difficulty on your Nightmare trophy save.

Prepare a separate Time Attack and Boss Rush save

Keep a separate slot when Time Attack opens. Set a comfortable difficulty on that copy and enter with a well-equipped party. For individual bosses, aim for both a sub-thirty-second win and a no-damage win; these can be separate attempts. Restart a clean Boss Rush attempt if you use Retry.

  • Untouchable needs the whole series without a retry, not just the final boss.

Frequently asked questions

Do chests add up across runs?

Not for Treasure Hunter. Plan the full chest route within one run. Item registration is a different objective.

Can I do Boss Rush without changing Nightmare?

Yes. Use a separate slot and keep the Nightmare campaign file intact while working on Time Attack.

Can urgent requests expire?

Yes. When one appears, save and finish it before moving the story forward.
