If your counter is above mine, it may be possible you grabbed a chest that I’ll get to later or you defeated a monster we’ll get to later, so no worries. You’ll get a lot of these enemies in the Grimwald Nox missions too, but sometimes they’ll be missing a few so be sure to fight a few enemies in Balduq. It’s recommended to do these each time you reach a new chapter and are able to do them, the same enemies will keep reappearing but they count. There’s a special version of this with a red mark too that has slightly harder enemies. You will also see “enemy warp points” on the map where you can run into these warps and fight enemies. The enemies sometimes are the same, but count multiple times, so in general if you’re in a new chapter or a new Grimwald Nox mission I recommend beating at least one of each enemy to save yourself time. Defeating the monster is enough to record it into your Monster Book, there aren’t any lens items for anything to use like in the Cold Steel series. You can get these to be safe though, we have covered all of them. Prison Adol’s monsters DO count so be sure to fight them.Īs well, monsters in the “EXTRA” subsection don’t increase the Monster List counter. I keep running counters of everything in the game using the options menu and I notice the treasure chest counter doesn’t increase when grabbing Prison Adol treasure chests. There are sections of the game I call “Prison Adol” sections where you’re a prisoner. You get plenty of NG+ bonuses that you can carry over (your level, equipment, skill levels, etc.) so it makes Nightmare difficulty a cakewalk. Make sure you’re playing on Normal or above difficulty, you can do a Nightmare mode run on your second run (NG+) for another trophy. There’s a lot of grindy trophies throughout too, like play each character for 5 hours, max all skill levels, etc., you can do those whenever. We won’t cover all materials, you’ll get that naturally as you reach endgames, and it’s pretty much unmissable. We have all treasure chest locations, all character notes, all affinity, all enemy names and locations, all optional quests, all map completion, all landmarks, all Grimwald Nox, an optional boss, and talking to all merchants.
