Okay, the quick guide:

• North to the 3rd floor elevator
• South and east to the 4th floor elevator
• South to the 6th floor elevator
• North and west to the 8th floor elevator
• South, east, and north to Harvestasia

Archia

Head to Archia for a scene and then to the inn for another.

The first thing you should do is rest at the inn so you can unlock Tyria's talk topics.

 

Massive Talk Topics

The easiest way to organize the following information is by location, so please go to each location in order.

Before you view ANY talk topics when you rest, save. There is a topic for each character that involves talking to other girls three times in a row. The save is a back up in case you mess it up.

You should now have both Saki and Finnel ready to complain from talking to Tyria so much. Go ahead and view Finnels. You can now finish off Tyria's topics. Now you can watch the two Saki events you should have.

[_]	Tyria: It's Kind Of Late, But...	Use Tyria's Flipsphere

The only one I need to guide you to here is the Moebius Factory one.

Firstly, put Tyria in your formation if you haven't already.

When you enter the factory, head south and climb the ladder to re-enter the building. Head west and then climb all the ladders to go east and back down to get inside. Take the lift and exit to the north. Head east now, at the split, through the double doors to the factory lobby. Now take the elevator here to the room and grab the talk topic. To get out, go back to the lobby and exit through the west doors.

The Party topic is impossible to miss, as it blocks your path to the deeper areas of the Trail if you enter from the World Map. The talk topic That's How Great It Is is located further in. You will need to get to the suspended bridges and take the second one and head up the ladder. It is to the west in a small area past the blocks.

From the World Map, select Slave District and head to the southern exit. Head to room #5 first. Now go across the way to room #11 and enter the vent to reach the new area and room #15. The quickest way out is actually to go back the way you came, otherwise you need to head all the way through the Lymph Vessel.

[_]	Tyria: First Experiences	Found in the Archia Think Tank basement

[_]	Party: Can't find a Dream	Found in the Archia Think Tank basement

When you're ready, head to the Archia Think Tank. As you head north, grab the Party topic Search at the entrance. Inside, head east to the rooms here for the Inverse Chip, Soul Charger, and Stress Doll. Now head back to the lobby.

Go west this time and enter the second room to get into the sewer pipes. Head south until you reach the First Experiences topic and then head east. Go north when you hit the dead end and follow the path to the other side. After the scene, head east and grab the Can't find a Dream topic. Now take the ladder up and go west to reach the Tower of Origin.

 

Tower of Origin

	Talk Topics	Topic Conditions
[_]	Tyria: Perv Quack!	-

Follow the linear path until you hit a scene and a fight. When you have control again, take the nearest lift to the ?Stick Medicine?. Head back down and continue west to another lift. Follow the path east, past the next lift, and grab the ?Famous Protector?. You can now go up to the next level. Go east straight away and head up another lift for the ?Radio? and then go back down and west to the far lift.

My only advice for the fight ahead is that Cocona is the best character to play. When the enemy goes to cast Mega Flare you can spam skills with her and potentially break it. All the other characters have slow animations that don't let you have this chance.

Before we do ANYTHING else, we should save. Although you may have talk topics for Saki or Finnel, hold off on using them until you have 3 so we can get a Tyria talk topic. You will want to check that the topics have not disappeared before doing any saving.

In the meantime, go ahead and clear Saki's Cosmosphere Level 7.

When you're ready, head to Nya Nya Ya for a scene with Sasha.

 

Moocheriel

You should know where to go, the only difference is you will have some nasty encounters this time. When you reach Ar Ru you will most likely fail the battle, don't worry you are supposed to and there is no benefit for winning.

If you took the Saki path, you already know the way to the VR21. If you didn't, follow the path east through the door. Enter the room next to the save point to grab the talk topic Secret Base.

If your talk topics are still there, check if you have 3. If you didn't before you likely won't now. If they are all still there, go ahead and save.

grab the talk topics Nostalgia and Clean-Up. Talk to Katene and say "Yes." After the scenes, you can now rest and get access to Tyria's Cosmosphere.

If either girl is close to those 3 topics, diving into Tyria will likely push you over. If you have 3 hearts in Finnel she will get three topics before you have to dive. Saki should get you 3 after diving, but if she doesn't Finnel will have 3 regardless of her hearts.

Make sure to clear Tyria's Cosmosphere level 1 and 2, but DO NOT enter Level 3.

Old Eternus Gallery

Head back to the VR21 room for a scene. Go ahead and rest for another scene that lets you progress the story.

It's super important that you save any talk topics with Saki, Finnel, and Tyria until certain points. Basically, don't use them until I list them in the top bar of a section.

Archia Think Tank

Head west through the doors and enter the second room's vent. Go south, east and then take the second north route to across the bridge. Take the first ladder you see for a scene and a fight. Head west to enter the Tower.

 

Tower of Origin

Inside the Tower, take the lifts up. Once in the Tower of Origin, up the lifts. Make sure to always take the west most lift.

After the scene with J&K, head back downstairs and grab the talk topic How Quiet. Now continue onward and up the stairs, grabbing the Synchro Evo Sap and ?Stuffed Animal? on your way. Continue up, taking a lift and a warp. When you are back outside again, you can head east to access the world map. You can leave here if you want, but there is no reason to.

Continue up the steps and when you see the second lift, head west to enter the XP Shell.

As soon as you enter the XP Shell, head north and grab the ?Shiny Clothes? and ?Mythic Armor?.

At the save point, SAVE, and view ONLY the talk topics I listed above.

Now, go southwest/northwest and grab the ?Maiden Tears?, ?Ultimate Drill? and ?Vintage Board?. Now return to the door next to the save and head inside.

There is also a ?Star Can?, ?Protein?, Man-Eating Tower topic, ?Fishy Needle?, Spunky Monkey V, Yuteria Material, and You're Scared, Right? topic in this area. Now take the warp out.

Follow the linear-like path to another warp that contains the ?Fashionista? and Angel Recoverael before heading back and continuing up the path to another warp. Grab the ?Eye Wear?, Synchro Evo Sap, and ?Glass Jar? before proceeding through a new warp.

If you have 3 hearts with either girl, you should get a scene here. Continue along the path picking up the Party topic What A Twist!. Now continue on to the save and the topic Way Too Complicated. Go ahead and view Tyria's talk topics, but you still need to save Saki and Finnel's for later. WHY!!!! can't the trigger for this be sooner. I hate holding onto topics this long.

Head up the lift now, and enjoy the scene and fight.

After the fight, hug the south wall and fall off it to grab the Party topic Are You Going to Die?. Now, climb down the ladder and go north to leave.

 

Clustania District

Firstly, head to Akane's Home for a scene. Now go to the Clustania District. Akane will be standing here. She offers three optional battles that you complete for the three rare recipes ?Medical God Tool?, ?Legendary Board?, and ?Mythic Weapon?. Note that you will need to have 5 random encounters in between each of her combat sessions or she will not let you fight her.

Now to head to Harvestasia:

• North to the lift
• South and east to a lift
• South lift
• Northwest lift
• South, east and north to Harvestasia

[_]	Tyria: Piles Of Treasure	Found in Nya Nya Ya after second MYU fight

I SUGGEST YOU SAVE WHEN YOU SEE ONE

Follow the path, ignoring the first lift, and taking the second lift. Take the stairs until you reach another scene with Jack. Head north and when you reach the lift, ignore it and take the ladder instead. You can now follow this path to a scene.

After the scene, head down the ladder and grab the Rare Metal. Follow the path and east when you can to grab the Platinum Material before continuing down for a scene and another fight.

My only advice is that keep your team close together and use healing items when you see MYU casting a spell. It does about 3k damage depending on your gear. This is a great time to get the trophy for stripping all your characters down by using their Ultra Supermoves and then hitting the flipsphere.

After the fight we need to walk back to this place. WHY? Because the two recipes here allow you to make the rarest items in the game as well as works toward the trophy for 100% of the treasures. There is a shortcut though.

Head to the Lymph Vessel via the World Map. Head right immediately to leave and take the elevator to head south and reach the no encounter room of Kniehar Signal Station. Head through the lift in the middle and you will be at the top of the Garvelt Bridge. Take the ladder near you and you should know the rest of the way.
