Intro
This Guide is about fully missable Requirements for Achievements,
followed by "Easy to miss, but not lost" and some Tipps for the more grindy Achievements,
being it farming Enemy Drops or leveling the Girls Magic.

IMPORTANT
When farming for Enemy Drops, use the "Analyzer" Spell on the Chest, to disarm possible Traps.
A "Red Glow" will mark safe Chests.
Rumors say, using "Analyzer will also increase Rare Drop Chance.
I personaly can't confirm this...

--- Tipps + Tricks
Leveling Magic
All Elements have to be raised to Level 8 on both.
While this is doable during the adventure, the Grind might stay tedious.

IMPORTANT
Magic should only be leveld in places where the Characters hold their Weapons,
or the Experience per Cast gets reduced.

The Girl
Heading to the Wind Palace behind the Sprite Villige in the Highlands.
The Sprite's Grandpa will refill the Mana when talking to him and
the Party has their Weapons out.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3527635753

The Sprite
As soon as Luna joins the Party, the Sprite can cast "Magic Absorb" to refill her Mana.
This should be used as often as possible, to make the Journey easier and quicker.
Carefull with Enemies who can cast "Wall".
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3527635791
Special Items
Minor Mallet
After the Events in the Water Palace, when you are told to go to the Upper Land,
revisit the Elder of the Dwarf Village at any point to recieve this Item.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3526421019
Moogle Belt
After recieving Flammie, visit Turtle Shell Isle south of Kakkara and enter the large Hut in the middle. The Merchant will give the party a Sea Hare's Tail.
Bring it back to King Amar III in Kakkara to restore the Oasis.
As a reward you will recieve the Moogle belt from him.

- Watcher Ring
get this from Eggplant Man in Pure Land

I found the easiest place to get this one is in the underground/ancient city. There is an Eggplant Man at the end of the train and right next to a door with only one nearby enemy that is pretty weak. Decent opportunity to level up Popoi's magic while repeatedly taking this one out too. Just an additional thought having just completed the game with all achievements today. Nice guide! My least favorite was the Basilisk farming using the waterfall room with 4 of them in the Underground/Ancient City. I got lucky on the Ghosts in the Pure Land- I hear they are the worst for a lot of people. Once you get to the Mana Fortress you can put on a movie or show and just farm away on the others. The basilisk is one you don't want to have to farm in the fortress if you can help it for sure.
Ulyaoth  [author] 4 Jul, 2021 @ 5:13pm 
If you miss out any Orb, you can farm enemys in Mana Fortress.
In your case it would be Master Ninjas.
IamW 4 Jul, 2021 @ 8:30am 
I somehow missed a Boomerang Orb (propably the one in the Underground City) and I'm right before entering the Mana Fortress. Can I somehow get the Orb I'm missing since I can't reenter the Underground City?
FafnirChaos 6 Jun, 2021 @ 5:34pm 
I just started this up again after 2 years of not playing it... Noticed that like me not many people played through the entire game, only 17% of the people who bought this actually beat the game which isn't that hard to do.... I'm just blown away by that... we'll soon it will be close to 18% as I finish this before LoM gets released.

For leveling magic the natural way there is a halfway point that I like to use. When you arrive in Northtown and are tasked to go to the Northtown Ruins the Imperial Palace will have 3 enemies spawn there. The entrance to the palace is directly next to an inn so it makes it easy to spend all your mana take a quick rest and rinse and repeat. This gets everything you have to level 4 rather quickly making later grinds or natural progression less tedious.

Can you still cheat and get an extra sword orb like the old days?

To add something useful to this guide:
In the cave before meeting Axe Beak in Pure Lands you can fight Ice Bandits, one Eggplant Man and one Ghost. Pretty good farm spot for Dragon Ring, Watcher Ring and Imp Ring, IF you can handle Needlions because they can be really tough.

(PS: Still being pretty lucky, griffin helm took me just 15min and imp's ring dropped on the 6th Ghost I killed and my 2nd watcher ring from the 2nd eggplant man I killed in Pure Land. ;D
Only the dragon ring took me a good half an hour to get. I hope this kind of luck sticks around till the end :D)

Guardian Ring -> First f***ing Doom Sword I killed in the Mana Palace...
Am I really THAT lucky right now or did they adjust the drop rates? This can't be real...
(sry for abusing this as a journal of luck ;D )

Just replaying the whole game to get all the achievements and what should I say? Luckiest savegame ever... just got the "Watcher Ring" from one of the Shape Shifter just outside the Mana Palace on my way to Underground City! ;D
Cockatrice Cap after only like 20 Basilisks killed.
And right before getting to Kettle Kin I got my hands on the Ninja Gloves aswell. Without even farming. :D
