Introduction

 

In the distant future, Earth has undergone a drastic change in the environment. For reasons unknown, poisonous layers of gases permeated the land, causing cancer, which resulted in near extinction for mankind due to humanity's inability to adapt to the new changes. The remaining humans built a gigantic device called Basel, an environment purifier buried deep in the ground, which cleanses the air in the surrounding land, it was called the Zenith system. Civilization began to reform around Basel itself, building a city around the tower. In order to overcome the cancer, human lives were tied to quartz and linked to the Zenith system, making them immune to disease and mutation, but requiring them to remain in the city, and giving them a set shelf-life.

 

Step into the World of 3 Hunters: Vashyron, Zephyr, and Leanne who take on odd and dangerous jobs for clients from simple deliveries to adrenaline-filled elimination missions. Each character has their own past, each somehow tied to Zenith in mysterious ways, each has miraculously survived Death in the past. Now, jump headon into their roles as their resonating fates bring them together, and you guide their hands as they seek to challenge the Hand of Fate that which guides Men.

 

 

Walkthrough

 

Before we start, a word of warning, this is not a game for those who prefer simple battle mechanics, lack patience or dislike planning/analyzing. This is a RPG that will require a degree of understanding of it's complex battle systems. Play through a couple of hours though and you'll start to get the hang of it, but that won't be sufficient as in-combat planning will start to come into play midway through the game and you need to understand the complete game mechanics and know the strengths and weaknesses of your team and your enemies.

 

Step 1: Play up till Chapter 16

 

During Prologue, your first agenda should be to visit the Arena, speak to the person on the left and go through all the optional Tutorials. Fail to grasp the system sufficiently and you'll struggle to get past Chapter 1.

 

Have a look at the

RoF: Encyclopedia which includes Tutorials and Other Useful Info if you find the game a tad bit difficulty to understand. For an indepth walkthrough, feel free to utilize threetime's Game Guide over at GameFAQs.

 

Each Chapter features 1-2 Story Missions that must be completed to advance to the next chapter. You receive the Story Mission in your base, go to see the client, then off you go to complete it. Upon completion, you either need to report back to the client or you need to return to your base where you will be prompted if you wish to advance to the next chapter.

 

I have included dungeon/boss tips and other pointers in the Story Trophies to the best of my ability and you may refer to them if you're facing difficulty in progressing. Also included is the amount of sidequests available in each Chapter.

 

Note: Each chapter includes 2-6 sidequests that must be completed in that specific chapter BEFORE you advance to the next one, or you will automatically "fail" them and you will miss out on "(G)Legendary Hunter" trophy.

 

Majority of the trophies are related to the story or combat milestones, such as defeating 3000 enemies, performing 100 Bonus Hits et cetera. Your battle records/trophy progress can be found in the Arena on the shelf to the right of the counter.

 

Some trophies that you may wish to take note as they require strategy/planning are:

(B)Resonance Miser, (B)Bullet Barrage, (B)Shopaholic, and (B)Four Terminal Chain.

 

Of special interest is the Infinite Money Trick that I have attached to the trophy "Shopaholic" and the Easy Leveling Trick under "Hundred Plus Club" which will be alot of use to you.

 

 

Step 2: Chapter 16

 

During Chapter 16, for the last Story Dungeon - Basilica, you will encounter 2 sub-bosses before the final boss. Defeating these two sub-bosses will give you the necessary "Black Hexes" to unlock an Optional Dungeon - Neverland and also unlock the last 5 ranks of the Arena. At this point, it is advisable to use an Escape Hex to exit the dungeon and clean up the Arena and use the Black Hexes to access Neverland dungeon for the following missable trophies:

(S)Kings of Neverland, (S)Basel's Liberator, (G)Stardust Hunter and (S)Challenge Conqueror.

 

To summarize: Go into last Story dungeon Basilica, defeat the 2 sub-bosses, exit dungeon, complete Neverland and Arena then go finish up the story.

 

Also in Chapter 16, there will be a sidequest "Rebel Termination Order", which is related to "

(S)Disrespect Your Elders" trophy and requires you to terminate a certain enemy, failure to complete this mission will result in you missing out on the trophy. If you're gunning for the "Legendary Hunter" trophy which is to complete all missions, then you should be fine.

 

Completing the game (remember to complete Arena and Neverland 1st!) will allow you to create a Clear Save, which you can use to start New Game+ on the same difficulty or Hard difficulty. You retain Levels, Items, Money and Normal Hexes if playing on same difficulty whereas you start on a clean slate if playing on Hard.

 

 

Step 3: 2nd Playthrough + Clean Up

 

After starting New Game+ and getting (B)Lap Two Rush, clean up any remaining combat trophies that you have yet to achieve, then speed you way through the Story (if you chose the same difficulty) which can be done in less than 6 hours. At this point you will obtain (G)Lap Two Complete.

 

 

Step 4: 3rd Playthrough (optional)

 

If you neglected to do Neverland and Arena on your 1st and 2nd playthrough, then you can work on it and any remaining trophies here.

 

Congrats on your Platinum on one of the most underrated gems this generation (besides Valkyria Chronicles).

STORY TROPHIES

The following are trophies that are related to the main story of Resonance of Fate, which is divided into 1 Prologue + 16 Chapters. These trophies are unmissable, and there is also a trophy for starting a second playthrough (New Game+) and completing the story again.

 

I love the way Tri-Ace designed the trophy tiles so that when you obtain all of them it looks like a continuous vertical picture of the world and the 3 protagonists.

Story Related. Unmissable. 4 Sidequests Available in this Chapter.

[spoiler=Story0]Basically this chapter is more of an introduction to the game. There is no automatic tutorial in battle therefore I highly recommend you visit the Arena first, speak to the person on the left to start the optional battle tutorials and learn everything there is to learn, you will need it badly.

 

Story Mission: Star from the Heavens

Meet your client at Cafe Chelsey, then deliver the quest item to Pater on Level 3. That's it!

First you need to meet Cardinal Theresa on Level 3, then make a path to Level 6 to the dungeon Lucia. Defeat the boss on the 2nd last hex and mission ends.

 

Boss Tips:

1. Use Metal Coated rounds with your MG user to destroy his surrounding parts, then use Hollow Rounds once he is exposed.

2. Shoot at any Drum Carriers near the boss to blow it up and inflict damage to the boss.

General Tips:

You should begin to switch your sole MG around so each character has a chance to use it and increase their MG level. Remember that a character's total level = HG level + MG level + Grenade level. Utilize grenades if you wish to gain 2-3 levels.

 

Boss Tips:

1. Ensuring that your MG user is not electrocuted is key to this fight.

2. Move your weaker HG user FIRST to behind right bunker. The boss will target and possibly electrocute him.

3. Next, equip MG user with Metal Coated rounds and perform a Hero Jump, dealing Scratch Damage (SD) to all the boss' shields.

4. Then use your second HG user destroy all his shields.

5. Use your MG user to Hero Run to where the Boss' main body is exposed and inflict SD on the main body, then clean up with your HG user.

Story Related. Unmissable. 3 Sidequests Available in this Chapter

[spoiler=Story4]Story Mission: The Invitation

This will be one of the toughest chapters thus far. If you’re not up to par, you will struggle and fail miserably. I suggest you complete some of the Arena Rank Battles and also try to customise your MG as much as you can with Scopes/Barrels.

 

Proceed to the Open Air Studio in the Forest of Idols dungeon on Level 5 to meet Cardinal Jean-Paulet (and one of the many funny cutscenes between Vashyron and Leanne). You are asked to escort/protect an Idol all the way to the end of the dungeon. Should the Idol’s health be reduced to zero in any part of the dungeon, you fail the mission.

 

Dungeon Tips:

1. Save before entering the dungeon. This is crucial!!

2. The Idol moves automatically and its health does not regenerate when moving to a new area, so beware of letting the idol take too much damage.

3. You can position a character directly infront of the Idol to slow down its movement, and use that character to kill off enemies that are fully scratched.

4. Utilize exploding drums to damage any nearby enemies.

5. Retry the hex if the idol has taken too much damage rather than continue on.

6. The boss is on the 2nd last hex and he will focus directly on the idol, so if the idol is near death when you reach him, you might as well start over. This is the same boss as Chapter 3.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/08.jpgChapter 5 Completehttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for completing Chapter 5.

 

Story Related. Unmissable. 6 Sidequests Available in this Chapter

[spoiler=Story5]Story Mission: Barbarella's Crisis / Not to be Denied

 

Visit Barbarella on Level 2 then make your way down to Level 8. Visit Cranktown to upgrade your guns and then proceed on to Silver Canyon. The East Bridge contains some nice items, defeat the Boss in Refridgia sub-dungeon.

 

Boss Tips:

1. Recommended level: 23-25. The boss can freeze your characters, so equip your characters with Ice-Resistant Vests, especially your MG user.

2. Start with MG user, WALK towards the boss. No running, no jumping. You will see the boss charge his attack. When his charge reaches red, STOP WALKING.

3. Plan a Hero Run-Jump over him. If you time the jump correctly, you will jump behind the boss, his attacks will miss, and you can let loose.

4. Use a HG user to clean up SD.

5. Repeat Steps 2 to 4 again. Your second HG user should be equipped with First Aid Box and use Cure Kits to cure status ailments if necessary.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/09.jpgChapter 6 Completehttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for completing Chapter 6.

 

Story Related. Unmissable. 5 Sidequests Available in this Chapter

[spoiler=story6]Story Mission: Cold Medicine

Leanne is unavailable until you complete the story mission. Go back to Chemist’s Closet in Silver Canyon, defeat the Boss and return to base.

 

Boss Tips:

1. Equip Ice-Resistant Vests.

2. Using HG user first, walk to one side. The boss will target him and shift his body.

3. Equip MG with Hollow Point+ rounds, Hero Run so that you end just behind the boss, where he is exposed. Let loose. You should be able to take away 80% of his health.

General Tips:

1. It is advisable to obtain a second MG after this from the optional dungeon Dakota Veins on Level 9 and fully customize it using the Infinite Money Trick, plus buy whatever equipment you need.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/10.jpgChapter 7 Completehttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for completing Chapter 7.

 

Story Related. Unmissable. 5 Sidequests Available in this Chapter

[spoiler=story7]Story Mission: The Hunt for Gelsey

Make your directly way to Mine 24 on Level 11. The boss is on the last hex.

 

Dungeon Tips:

1. Highway Hunters pack a punch with their homing missles. Stay close to a wall to avoid damage. They drop nice scrap parts used for creating new custom parts at Albona.

2. Boss is ridiculously easy if you’re at Level 45 and able to Dual Wield MGs. The boss doesn’t have any parts so you can target his main body directly and at this level I scratched 90% of his HP, finished him off in 2 rounds. If you can’t dual wield, equip your MG user with Hollow Point+ rounds

Story Related. Unmissable. 5 Sidequests Available in this Chapter

[spoiler=story9] Story Mission: Lucia Sacred Sign / Search for the Sacred Sign

First, visit Antaurion on Level 2 then goto Lucia dungeon on Level 6.

 

Dungeon Tips:

1. Never land infront of the boss, always stay at his sides.

2. Dual-wield MG or use Hollow Point+ round and target the sides.

3. Having a high level HG user with good Chain Break ability may keep him in perma-stun status.

Story Related. Unmissable. 4 Sidequests Available in this Chapter

[spoiler=story11] Story Mission: A Visitor from the Past

The story mission/boss fight starts almost immediately.

 

Boss Tips:

1. Hopefully you took my advice and save before advancing to this Chapter, because if you’re underleveled or have lousy equipment, you’re screwed. I was around Lvl 60 here.

2. Equip a MG and a HG, and any Physical Damage Reduction accesories you have. You can make 20% reduction rings at the Tinkerer in Ebel City before meeting the Boss at the bridge.

3. The boss has a dissapearing trick that only occurs if you're shooting him from the front, so you should Hero run past him and only release your charges when he's not looking at you.

4. After you finish your first hero run, plan another and repeat the same thing, run past him then release your MG. Then again plan a 3rd run past him but using the HG to finish him

Story Related. Unmissable. 4 Sidequests Available in this Chapter

[spoiler=story12] Story Mission: Wedding Crasher

Is Leanne beautiful or what? Equip Vashyron with a MG and HG because he’ll be fighting alone. Remember to fully upgrade both weapons.

 

Boss Tips:

1. FYI, there is a new MG available for 300,000 rubies in the Shop. I fully upgraded it to the following stats: 192 Speed, 29% Acc, 18 Bullets.

2. At level 64, it took me at 2-3 rounds to take out the Boss when focusing on him directly.

Story Related. Unmissable. 3 Sidequests Available in this Chapter

[spoiler=story14] Story Mission: An Old Promise

After doing all available sidequests, when you’re ready, proceed to Aetersyl on Level 1.

 

Boss Tips:

1. The fight consists of 3 phases. Phase 1: Stay where you are and finish off the 3 R-Commando Assaults

2. Phase 2: Take cover behind a bunker and use normal attacks to eliminate the turrets by targeting their shields (don’t target the main body). Taking out all shields gives you a “Direct Kill”.

3. Phase 3: After killing everything else but the leader, Hero Jump towards him and take him out easily.

Boss Tips:

1. Same as before, the turrets can be killed by taking out their shields.

2. If the Bahamut helicopter is giving you a hard time, take it out first or hug a wall.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/19.jpgClear the Gamehttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for completing the game. Congratulations!

 

Story Related. Unmissable. 3 Sidequests Available in this Chapter (16)

[spoiler=story16] Story Mission: The Basilica

 

It’s best if you can link every beneficial Terminal available to the Basilica. You start at the 2nd hex in the dungeon, if you find it hard to take down the enemies here, then you need more training.

 

4th hex features 1st Final Sub-boss: Garigliano

1. Boss has tons of HP, but otherwise is a weakling.

2. Kill off his minions first, they deal more damage, especially the Poison Blower.

3. Thereafter you can take him out using normal attacks or Hero Actions.

 

7th hex features 2nd Final Sub-boss: Antaurion

1. Same like Garigliano, take out the minions then focus on the boss.

 

At this point, it is advisable to use an Escape Hex to exit the dungeon and clean up the Arena and Neverland dungeon. If you go on to defeat the Final Boss, you will need to redo the entire Arena again, and you lose access to Neverland until you beat the two sub-bosses again in New Game+. See “Kings of Neverland” and “Stardust Hunters”

 

Final Boss:

1. Get rid of his minions, Venomous Fogs ASAP. Take out the Judge Assaults if you wish.

2. Boss is very prone to Chain Breaks, so charge up your HG and let loose.

3. The Boss will summon minions from time to time. Kill them off to replenish your Bezels.

4. If you’re around Level 145, this boss is easy. I’d say a minimum level of 110 is required to beat him.

 

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgLap Two Rushhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngStart New Game Plus

 

After you complete the game, you can create a Clear Save. With it you can start New Game+ on the same difficulty, or on Hard difficulty. If you choose to start on same difficulty, you will retain all levels, items, money, and normal white hexes. Choosing Hard difficulty means starting from a clean slate, you retain nothing, only for those with a death wish.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/21.jpgLap Two Completehttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_gold.pngBeat the game a second time

 

You should be able to complete New Game+ in about 6 hours, if you have done everything else in your 1st playthrough. Nothing has changed.

COMBAT & OTHER TROPHIES

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgFirst Contacthttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for defeating your first enemy.

 

To defeat an enemy, you must use a Machine Gun (MG) to deal Scratch Damage(SD) to its main body, then follow up with Handgun (HG) to deal Direct Damage(DD), which will deplete their health bar.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgMaiden Missionhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for clearing your first mission.

 

The first mission you’ll be working on will most likely be Bridge Restoration. Proceed to Rainy Bridge where you will encounter 3 dogs. Deal SD to their main body and finish them off with HG.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgHero Actorhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for attacking over 1,000 times during Hero Actions.

 

To initiate a Hero Action (HA), you need to first have at least 1 Bezel, which are those red jewels at the bottom of your screen. Press :square: to plan a HA and choose the direction that you want to move. Press :square: again to start a Hero Run (HR). HR is basically your character running towards the specified destination while allowing you to attack. Pressing :square: again during HR turns it into a Hero Jump (HJ) where your character jumps (across insane distances and over enemies/obstacles) to the specified destination plus you can also build attack during a HJ. You just need to attack 1000 times during a HR or HJ.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgBonus Hitterhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for landing your first Bonus Hit on an airborne foe.

 

See Spite Monger below.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgSpite Mongerhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for landing over 100 Bonus Hits.

 

To land a Bonus Hit, you need to first shoot an enemy into the air during a Hero Run. Once in the air, continue hitting them and you will see a circle with a yellow gauge start to build. Sometimes you will get a spinning arrow around the circle. You need to land the arrow within the yellow area by pressing :circle: for a Bonus Hit to initiate. Bonus Hits will increase your charge rate exponentially and all you have to do after this is release those charges while the enemy is still in the air with :circle: again. If the yellow gauge is too small, you may choose to press :cross: to preserve the Bonus Hit for the next time you build up the gauge again. Equipping the "Shooting Star" accessory, preferably on your MG user helps alot.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgExtreme Spikerhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for performing over 100 Smackdown attacks.

 

To perform a Smackdown, first you need to shoot an enemy into the air during a Hero Run (HR). Press :square: during HR to jump into the air and when you are on a higher altitude than the enemy (who is still in the air), release your gun charges to shoot him downwards. If he hits the ground, you score a Smackdown, and his body will actually bounce back into the air, where you can shoot him again to perform another Smackdown. You can typically score 2-4 Smackdowns in one jump.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgResonance Miserhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for storing over 20 Resonance Points.

 

A Resonance Point is awarded whenever a characters crosses an imaginary line between the other two characters while performing a Hero Action. Explaining how to achieve this trophy with a paragraph of text is gonna be confusing and hard to understand so here's a diagram with instructions:

 

http://i.imgur.com/Po5cLEp.png

 

So basically it's like a moving shifting triangle. An easy place to do this is in the Forest of Idols (main dungeon map), during Chapter 7-8 while your characters are around Level 40. Get into a battle, which will likely consist of 4 Lvl 10+ enemies (Mr. Chainsaw/Bomberman/Flamethrower etc..) each with 4 parts (4 parts + main body = 5 potential Bezels per enemy) that are easily destroyed at your level.

  1. Equip all your characters with HGs and each turn you should run towards the part you want destroyed and build up just enough charges to destroy it.
  2. Try to destroy all the parts first, avoid damaging the main body before killing the enemy off. I went into the battle with 8 Full Bezels and destroyed the parts as necessary to refill any empty Bezels.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgTri-Attackerhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for using your first Tri-Attack.

 

To initiate a Tri-Attack, you must first acquire at least 1 Resonance Point. On any character’s turn, press :triangle: to plan a Tri-Attack. Use :l1: or :r1: to select who goes first, and :triangle: to change the direction in which they move, then :square: to start the attack. During the attack, characters will build charges, and you press :circle: to release the charges. Each character must attack at least once or the trophy will not unlock.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgHundred Plus Clubhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for raising a character's level to 100.

 

Checkout my RoF: Encyclopedia, Sections 1-3 for a detailed written tutorial on the Combat, Experience sytem and Weapon Customization which I hope will give you a better understanding on the game that may help you along the way.

 

You start the game with 1 MG, 2 HG and 1 Grenade Box. There are many difficulty spikes in the game, for example in Chapter 4 where the game’s difficulty turns up a few notches. You should always swap the guns and Grenade Box around your 3 characters so they can level up faster rather than stick to single weapon type only. Levelling up is the only way to build more charges and increase your weight allowance so that you can dual wield guns (especially since MGs are crucial to the game)

 

The earliest chapter where you can obtain a second MG is in Chapter 6-7, at the end of the optional dungeon Dakota Veins on Level 9, but I suggest you hold it off until you’re around level 40-45.

 

For a great way to power level somewhere midway of the game, see below: (Credits to Pants Party on Xbox360a for original idea for using the Arena)

  1. Starting from Chapter 7-8, you can encounter Lvl19-23 Hooded Gangster on Level 10 that rarely drops Dark Purple hexes.2. Goto Level 6, use those dark purple hexes to unlock the Terminals: Exp x1.5 and Double Amp. Double Amp basically doubles the effect of all other linked terminals, so in this case you get 3x Exp !!
  2. Use Teal Hexes to link those two terminals all the way to the elevator, which will extend their effects to Level 4 above. They are dropped by Shady Thugs on Level 7-9.
  3. Continue using teal hexes to link the elevator on Level 4 to the Arena. In total you'll need 73 teal hexes minimum to activate those 2 Terminals. You probably won't have enough Teal hexes to activate the Double Amp terminal at first, so you could instead activate Exp 1.5x first, then goto farm HERE or Arena Ranks 12,14,17 and 18 to farm more while enjoying a lil Exp bonus. (Credits to StarksKettle for Arena)
  4. Now equip your MG user with EXP Trainer and Auto Trigger.
  5. Arena Battle Rank 20-3 consists of 1 Bronze Blob, 1 Silver Blob, 1 Gold Blob. Kill off the first two. Using your MG user, charge as long as you want and unleash it on the Gold Blob, who will recover SD very quickly, unless the SD fills over 60% of his health bar. If so, ease off your charges so it can recover as usual. With EXP Trainer equipped + Terminal effects, your MG user will gain 6x Exp !! Equip the other 2 characters with MGs as well if you have enough
  6. If you wish to stop grinding and return later, turn around and walk out the Red Barrier. This is a one-time battle only and killing the blob now will effectively stop you from grinding further.
  7. You can link other Terminal Effects like Increasing Item Drop Rates and Rare Items Drop Rate to get as much benefit out of grinding the many Arena Battles too

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgBullet Barragehttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for landing a combo of over 500 hits.

 

I got this trophy accidentally without thinking, so maybe you can too if you have the same setup as me. In Chapter 8, you will encounter the Tri-Stamp Boss in Paterpolis. Here’s my setup:

 

  1. Zephyr (Lvl 45) with fully customized Dual Wielding MGs. Vashyron will 1 fully customized HG and First Aid Kit. Have your MGs equipped with good magazines, but it’s ok if you don’t have any. I also had 8 Full Bezels at this point, good for making a lot of Hero Runs/Jumps.
  2. First, take out all the boss’s minions, they can inflict poison which is a pain to deal with.
  3. Next, taking out the Boss’ right hand/Giant Hammer takes TOP PRIORITY. Without this hammer, all he can do is Melee Attacks and summon minions.
  4. Now, use Zephyr to perform Hero Runs and build as many charges before letting loose on the boss. If the boss/minions approaches Zephyr/Vashyron, move them away with Hero Run while attacking at the same time. If you need Bezels, consider taking out any minions that he summons.
  5. Avoid getting hit at all costs, getting hit cancels your Combo Hits.
  6. You should be able to build up 500 hits in 2-3 rounds using Zephyr alone with Hero Runs and score Bonus Hits.

ALTERNATIVE: I've never had much luck with Tri-Attacks, but if the above doesn't work for you, gather as many Resonance Points as you can, have 2 MG users charge as much as possible and let them attack first, targetting an enemy with alot of health, or a Bunker :D, then finish off with the 3rd member. Large magazines help.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgProfessional Hunterhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for defeating over 3,000 enemies.

 

See "First Contact" trophy above. This will come through normal progression of the game. To check your battle records, look at the shelf on the right side of the right counter in the Arena.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgMaterial Collectorhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for destroying over 3,000 enemy body parts.

 

This will come through normal progression of the game. If you have a powerful MG user, utilize Hero Jumps so that he deals Scratch Damage to all parts of an enemy, then follow up with a Hero Jump by a HG user to destroy all of them.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgThousand Pitcherhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for throwing over 1,000 attack items.

 

Any character equipped with a Grenade Box will be able to throw attack items such as Molotov Cocktails, Hand Grenades, Electro Grenades and even Dog Droppings. You can buy grenades from shops or obtain them through dismantling junk at the scrapper. You'll probably need to grind this, but at least you'll earn a some Grenade Levels and level up your characters.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgThe Iron Fisthttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for defeating over 30 enemies with no weapon equipped.

 

Basically you just need to defeat any enemy that is fully scratched with a character that is unarmed. Easy to do this on the lower Arena Rank Battles.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgBig Shothttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for dealing over 2,000 damage in a single attack

 

Again, this is one trophy I accidentally achieved during Chapter 6 against the boss Cannon Colossus. On later chapters it'll be easy to achieve this though as enemies have more HP and your MG user will be much stronger and able to perform more hits. Practically unmissable.

  1. First, have your HG user WALK to the RIGHT side. The boss will target him and shift his body accordingly. I think there is a bunker which you can hide behind.
  2. Equip MG user with Hollow Point+ rounds, Hero Run to his back where his main body is exposed and unleash charges on him. I was able to deal 80% Scratch Damage.
  3. Next round, charge and release again with your MG user to fully scratch him.
  4. Follow up with Hero Jump from HG user to deal 4000 damage and defeat the boss

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgMaterial Creatorhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for having fused and scapped items over 200 times.

 

Over the course of the game, you will receive many item drops that say "dismantle to receive scrap parts". Bring this to a Scrapper in any town, and dismantle them one by one (not all at once). Use those parts to create customized mods for your guns again one at a time at a Tinkerer. If you're using the Infinite Money Trick, you'll get this very quickly. See "Shopaholic" below.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgShopaholichttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for spending over 500,000 rubies on clothing and accessories

 

Easy if you utilize the Infinite Money Trick.

  1. Starting Chapter 6 or 7, the travelling merchant you met in Forsaken will move to Waterless Bridge on Level 8 and start selling Scrap Irons and Glass Shards, which are components for Compact Scope Beta.
  2. Return to the Tinkerer in Ebel City and create a bunch of Compact Scope Betas, they cost 3000 rubies each to make.
  3. Sell the Compact Scope Betas to the shopkeeper for 4100 rubies each.
  4. Repeat the steps as necessary to make millions then spend your money at the Boutique and purchase any clothing you want till the trophy pops.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgCustomaestrohttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for connecting over 10 custom parts to a firearm.

 

Starting Chapter 6, you can gain access to Cranktown, where you can create a whole new list of customised parts for your guns. Attach as many parts as possible using multi-barrels and new scopes and you will unlock this easily. If you need money, see "Shopaholic" above.

 

TIP: Use :rs: to adjust the gun's position while a part is selected, and :l1: :r1: to rotate certain parts.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgBasels' Repairmanhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for making over half of Basel's hexes accessible again.

 

As you probably know, you obtain hexes from defeating enemies and use them to open paths on various levels to gain access to Towns, Dungeons and Elevators. If you have OCD or grind alot at the Arenas or in Dungeons, you should have enough to unlock this trophy in Chapters 5-6.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgFour-Terminal Chainhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for connecting four distinct terminals.

 

This trophy requires you to connect four terminals using hexes of the same color (excluding white). Colored hexes can extend beyond the current level by attaching them to Elevators (not Core Lifts).

 

If you are using the Power Levelling method mentioned above in "Hundred Plus Club" above, you will have already linked 2 terminals with Teal hexes. On level 6, you can link it to another Terminal:Stealth and on Level 4 you can link it to the Terminal near the Hughes Power Station. After linking 4 terminals, you can unlink any Terminals whose effect are undesired by placing a hex of different color on that particular Terminal.

 

You can also achieve this utilizing various Terminals/Elevators on Levels 1-3, 4-6, and 7-9

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgUnison Assault http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for defeating two or more enemies in a single attack.

 

Very easy, first deal full Scratch Damage to two enemies' main body parts. Move your HG user to line up both of them in your sights, target either enemy then charge and release to kill them both. Or you can use a grenade if they are in close proximity.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/02.jpgAn Unfortunate Accident http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.pngA trophy for taking out your own party member in an explosion.

 

First you need to spend all your Bezels and enter Critical Mode. In this mode, all damage dealt to your characters will be Direct Damage instead of Scratch Damage. Position the unfortunate member of your party next to an exploding barrel when his health is low, then have another member of your party shoot that barrel to take him out.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/20.jpgTera-Driver http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_silver.pngA trophy for loading over a terabit of data from the disc.

 

I'm not really sure how this works, but it is said that by filling up the Bestiary (i.e fighting as many types of enemies possible) will help achieve this faster. You should obtain it around Chapters 12-15.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/20.jpgDisrespect Your Eldershttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_silver.pngA trophy for defeating the Elderly Man. He's with the stars now!

 

This trophy is missable! The Elderly Man is a target for the sidequest "Rebel Termination Order" in Chapter 16. This guy packs a punch but his lacking of body parts makes him rather easy to kill at this point, and infact he is a good target for levelling because you can escape from this battle after dealing as much as damage as you want without killing him.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/20.jpgBasel's Liberatorhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_silver.pngA trophy for making all of Basel's hexes accessible again. Are you even human?!

 

This trophy is missable! See "Kings of Neverland" trophy below

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/20.jpgChallenge Conquerorhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_silver.pngA trophy for defeating the top-ranked team, the Last Line! Amazing!

 

This trophy is missable! You are required to beat the first 3 fights of each rank in the Arena. The last five ranks will only unlock after a certain point in the story. See "Stardust Hunters" below for more details.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/20.jpgKings of Neverlandhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_silver.pngFinish Neverland.

 

This trophy is missable! Neverland is an optional dungeon that is only accessible once you have beaten the game's two sub-bosses in Chapter 16 (see spoiler below) and use an Escape Hex to exit the dungeon before approaching the Final Boss.

 

[spoiler=Neverland] The two sub-bosses are Garigliano and Antourion, and the final dungeon is Basilica

[Each sub-boss drops a Black Hex which cannot be gotten anywhere else. Without this black hex, you won't be able to clear the map and unlock Neverland, hence it is also tied to "Basel's Liberator" trophy. You may have noticed a black hex spot on Level 4 when you first started the game. Use a black hex on that spot to unlock an elevator down to a separated area in Level 11, and use the last black hex to unlcok the dungeon itself. The dungeon is very challenging and I highly recommend to use the Power-Leveling trick in the Arena and try to complete as many Arena battles as possible before you attempt it. A minimum level of 100 is recommended.

 

Note: If you don't finish Neverland and/or proceed to defeat the Final Boss and then overwrite your current save with a Clear Save, you retain the Black Hexes on New Game+, but you'll have to clear all the hexes on the World Map again, which is why I suggest you do this on your first playthrough to avoid missing out on it and "Basel's Liberator".

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/21.jpgThe Legendary Hunter http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_gold.pngYou've completed every mission in the game! The legend will never die!

 

This trophy is missable! By my count, there are a total of 65 Side missions in the game whereas Story Missions you complete naturally to progress the Story.

 

To check what sidequests are available, visit the Hunters' Guild in any city. You can only have 3 sidemissions active at anytime. One you accept a sidequest, you need to first meet with the client to learn more details then proceed to complete his request. Some missions, particularly Rebel Supression missions, you can go directly the target destination and finish the quest. Additional missions may appear after you have completed previous missions in the same chapter.

 

You need to finish every sidequest given in one Chapter before advancing to the next Chapter, otherwise you will "fail" that incomplete mission and miss out on this trophy and if you do miss out, you'll have to do every mission again on New Game+.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/21.jpgStardust Huntershttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_gold.pngYou've got a * in every rank!

 

This trophy is missable! There are 50 Ranks available in the Arena with each Rank featuring 10 Battles. Completing all 10 Battles of one Rank will net you a * in that Rank, so that's 500 Battles in total. The last 5 ranks won't unlock until you defeat the final two Sub-Bosses in Chapter 16 and use an escape hex to exit the final dungeon. So you need to finish the Arena AFTER killing these two, but BEFORE defeating the final boss.

 

Note: If you defeat the Final Boss anyway, it's okay, just start New Game+ on the same difficulty and you retain all your previous victories, but the ranks will again unlock according to story progression. If you chose Hard difficulty for New Game+, you have to start Arena all over.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/339/01.jpgPlatinum Trophyhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_platinum.pngYou've unlocked every trophy in the game. You've mastered 'Resonance of Fate'!

 

Your reward for unlocking all the other trophies. Enjoy!

These trophies are NOT missable

  • Thousand Pitcher
    • This is cumulative throughout your first run and your new game+ run, so long as you dont neglect the fact you have to throw some for your trophy then your good to go

    [*]Big Shot

    • If you follow The Pants Party method to level grinding then you can get this EARLY on, otherwise itll just coem naturally near endgame

    [*]Shopaholic

    • The amount you spend in the shop is cumulative. You can also wait until you have THAT much money , spend it , watch your trophy unlock and then reload your save

    [*]Four-Terminal Chain

    • This will indeed take alot of time but to no extend is it missable. If you activate a terminal with the wrong color you can always overide the color with another

    [*]Kings of Neverland

    • This COULD be missable but fact of the matter is that theyre going to have to go through 2 playthroughs so they'll have to do it eventually so long as they know of the secret dungeon

    [*]Stardust Hunters

    • Going into new game+ all the arena matches and progress stays the same , its just a matter of when you want to take the time to do them all

Setsuna, they are missables because some are just plain optional stuff to do that you are unlikely repeat again and some people overlook them, I'll change Big Shot since its is practically unmissable on later chapters.

 

But for Stardust Hunters, I quote this from Skylenorman who posted in Dynames' Guide

 

Credit to Skylenorman for the following:

 

You have to do the arena trophies BEFORE beating the final boss but after beating his two sub-bosses. You need to use an escape hex then you'll get the two black color hexes you need to get a few other trophies, and the last five ranks in the arena don't unlock until these bosses are defeated. You lose your progress in the arena when you start a new game plus.

 

I have not started my second playthrough. So could anybody clarify?

 

 

 

The rest however, are missables because:

1. Thousand Pitcher - If people ignore using grenades, then of course they're missable

2. Shopaholid - Requires you to spend on CLOTHES

3. Four Terminal Chain - If someone beats the game without utilizing terminals, as unlikely as that sounds, then it IS missable.

4. Kings of Neverland - It's an OPTIONAL dungeon, that's why it's missable. Again if people don't do it or are unaware of it no matter if they play 999 times, they won't get the trophy

 

I'm sorry but the other guide is far more detailed imho.

yazter, if you could elaborate which parts need improving, I'd be glad to work on them. I've referenced Dynames' guide as the minimum detail level and expanded as much as I can on the many one-liner trophy descriptions.

Setsuna, they are missables because if people overlook them, then they miss out on it. I've held off on doing my 2nd playthrough since I thought I'd have to redo the Arena, so I'll change that, along with Big Shot since Big Shot is practically unmissable on later chapters.

But they have no relation to the story so they can do it at anytime , theres never a time in a game where its impossible for them to get those first 3 trophies. Missable Trophies should only be classified as missable trophies if you cant get anymore at a certain point in the game, at least thats how i see it.

Perhaps I'll change the wording to something like "Important" but if you have an idea on how to word, I'll gladly hear your views.

 

Onto another issue, as I quoted above, Skylenorman says that the Arena progress does not carryover, appreciate if someone else can clarify this issue so I can update the guide.

Well i dont think thousand pitcher and big shot need to have any notices, if they know about the combat related trophies they'll probably be aware of the grenade one, big shot will come naturally ... i was gunning for it at one time however as i kept progressing i found myself dealing well over that much damage from the smallest shots

 

Shopaholic i say make a notice to do it before you beat the game that way you dont have to worry about completing the quest to unlock in New game+

 

Four Terminal chain ... i say just make a notice to do it before doing a new game+, new game+ you want to just be able to JET through the game ASAP

 

As for the arena i could have swore it said it in the players guide ... however its at my friends house right now so i cant view it. I did all my arenas before i beat the game so i wouldnt know exactly for sure if they carry over

The Roadmap and Trophy Guide are now complete. There may be minor tweaks to strategies that I've posted when I'm done with my second playthrough or if someone has a better strategy.

 

Any feedback is welcomed. :)

 

Did you submit this guide? This one is much better and I think will help people get to the platinum a bit easier then the other one. I would submit this. I had always thought about redoing the guide, I think you did a great job.

 

I think some of the very detailed explanations you gave for certain trophies wasn't necessary, as there are a lot of ways to get these trophies, and some of the other ways are even easier then the ones you posted. However, it seems you posted strategies you can do early in the game (such as for 2000 damage and 500 hits), where as a lot of these trophies are really easy to get later on.

 

Great guide overall. I would make sure to submit it!

Yeah I was making notes for the bosses from the start of the game so figured that I should post some early points at which someone could achieve the trophies if it involved the bosses.

 

I had people comment I wasn't detailed enough on another guide I made for an 8hr Platinum with a difficulty of 2/10 even though they admitted they platted it without a guide =_=" , so naturally with a game like RoF, I had to do as much as I could. Plus had a bad experience where someone took my guide, added their misc stuff and submit it off as their own.

 

I'll look around the forums again and see if I can add other strategies to the guide. Thanks for your feedback and yeah I submitted it couple of days ago. ;)

I had a bit of a different way of rigging the arena with the exp trick.

 

You should use your first teal hexes to link the exp terminal to the arena in the straightest placement possible. You should AVOID the double-effect terminal on this pass. You then use arena ranks 12, 14, 17 & 18 to grind out more teal hexes. Set up as many hexes as you can and hook up the double-effect last.

 

My reasoning behind this is that you will be getting a slight exp bonus in the arena while grinding out teal hexes you need while fighting ranks that you will need for the arena trophy anyway. In this way you also avoid the random encounter that has no chance of giving you the hexes you need.

 

If you hook the exp AND double-effect at the same time you will be spending a lot of time trying to meet the hex requirement while getting no additional benefit.

 

I like my way better but I am biased. LOL

Note: If you don't finish Neverland and/or proceed to defeat the Final Boss and then overwrite your current save with a Clear Save, you will need to progress all the way to the same point in the Story again, because Colored Hexes do not carry over in New Game+. Normally, this is not a problem because you need to beat the Story twice anyway, but it is something you should know in case you skip this again in New Game+ and go on to start New Game++ (meaning you need a 3rd playthrough to get this trophy).

 

Although the colored hexes do not carry over, black hexes do. When i started my second playthrough, i had both black hexes available to use at any point of the story. So it is not necessary to progress all the way to the end again.
