Guerranera and the Trophy Hunters
PS Vita / PS3 / PS4
Plan Courageous stops around quests, AP and collections. Finish chests, recipes, fishing and the commendation in your first campaign. Take on Nightmare in the second and keep a separate Black Records checklist. They belong to New Game Plus and are not the ordinary books required for the reading trophy.
Base 51-trophy list for PS3, PS Vita and PS4. European PS3/Vita release in 2016; the PS4 edition followed in 2019.
- AP: 315 out of 329 for A0 rank.
- Chest window: Prologue through Finale; EX sections are separate.
- NG+: Plan Black Records and Glacia Shrine on the second run.
Make your Courageous stops before story departures
Check assignments each time the date changes, then visit locations and NPCs the main plot does not require. Finish all 39 quests and record bonus AP after each act segment. Read conditions before battles with extra objectives so you do not lose points by winning the wrong way.
- Keep a slot before leaving a date or starting an operation.
Close the Prologue-to-Finale collections
Scan monsters while they are available and check off chests by area. Spoils of War ends its required window at the Finale, while Face of the Enemy excludes EX sections. Use the same circuit through towns and roads to progress 22 recipes, 24 fish, ordinary books and the 31 Master Quartz.
- Do not leave the last fish to chance; check the fishing spots open in the Finale.
Prepare the commendation and final bonds
Before the December 31 operation, collect Alfin’s awards: progress quests, character notes and cryptid defeats. Then verify the event that awards the Grand Cordon. Keep a save before the final bonding selection as well. Rotate eligible characters and record scenes seen.
- Do not confuse the A0 reward with the imperial commendation.
Plan for five Black Records in NG+
On the new run, check Cornette’s shop in Celdic on December 1, then the Abyss Drome area in Bareahard’s waterway after the boss. Recover the others at the Ancient Quarry, from Norton after Gone Air and in Lohengrin Castle. In the epilogue, hand them to Thomas, obtain the Decoding Report and read the books before the final event.
- Keep a separate epilogue save until Scholar of the Truth unlocks.
Tackle Nightmare and Glacia Shrine
Start Nightmare from clear data and prepare early: equip ailment protection, carry interrupt tools and use links for Rush and Burst. In New Game Plus, plan a separate visit to Glacia Shrine for Isra-Zamiel. Use Overdrive in ordinary encounters when you still need its counter.
- Before your last save, check 100 Overdrives, follow-ups and interrupts.
