PS4
Plan two types of work: clear the towers during the story and hunt rare drops once travel opens up. A chest missed in the Giant of Babil costs a reload, while the Pink Tail can wait. Track hidden items, summons and treasure as separate counters.
The 2D Pixel Remaster PS4 list has 30 trophies. The 3D remake and editions with The After Years are different releases.
- Trophies: 30, including platinum
- Missables: Chests and bestiary entries in temporary areas
- Level goal: 70 with the five final party members
Check Zot and both Babel visits
Save before the Tower of Zot and before each trip into the Tower of Babel. Open the map between floors to check chests: Babel’s second visit does not restore all of the first visit’s rooms. To be safe, let the dolls merge into Calcobrena and defeat Barnabas before Doctor Lugae.
- Finish checking for enemies before the boss, with encounters on.
Explore the Giant before the CPU
In the Giant of Babil collect its eight chests and check the bestiary before the CPU battle. Mech Dragon is easier to hunt in the stairwell than in the rooms you have already crossed. Backtrack for Last Arm or any other missing foe: the story will prevent a return.
- Keep a save outside the Giant until chests and enemies are registered.
Build Rydia’s summon list
Take the detours for Asura, Leviathan, Odin and Bahamut in addition to the spells Rydia brings. For secret summons, use the Goblin, Bomb, Cockatrice and Mind Flayer items from the menu to learn them. Add Sylph at Sylvan Cottage; the frying pan from Yang’s wife opens that sequence.
- Check Rydia’s command after each drop: holding the item is not enough.
Trade the right tails
Trade the Rat Tail at Adamant Grotto for Adamantite; bring it and the Sword of Legend to Kokkol for Excalibur. For the armor, hunt Flan Princesses on Lunar Subterrane B5 instead. If you have Sirens, save them to call the group in its room, then trade the Pink Tail once it drops.
- Tail of Myth comes from the Adamant Armor exchange, not the drop alone.
Finish the lunar equipment
Look for the four sealed weapon pedestals in the Lunar Subterrane and win their encounters. For Ragnarok, take the side passages off the direct route to Zeromus. Use experience from the hunts to get Cecil, Kain, Rosa, Rydia and Edge to 70; do not train characters who have already left the party.
- Check hidden items in towns separately from chests.

Frequently asked questions
Are the summon drops missable?
No. You can hunt the four items late; prioritize the towers and Giant while they are still accessible.
Does every character need level 70?
The five final party members need it. Story characters who rotate out do not require extra leveling.
Are the Rat Tail and Pink Tail interchangeable?
No. Rat Tail leads to Adamantite for Excalibur, while Pink Tail leads to Adamant Armor.
