    How to unlock Forger of Chains

    Progress on this trophy carries over to a NG+.

    For this trophy you’ll need to do 450 linked arte chains. Each linked arte chain will also count towards the 1350 linked artes for A Leader of Links. A linked arte chain can only be done when the bar on the left is completely filled. It will then turn yellow. When it does, perform a linked arte, which will activate Overlimit. While in Overlimit, the bar will start draining, and you’ll be able to chain linked artes by activating a linked arte that’s different from the one you just used as the current linked arte is about to finish. Note that you must use different linked artes in a chain otherwise you’ll break it.

    The easiest way to do this is to have a Milla/Jude Link Partner setup. If they have the Over Extension 1, 2, and 3 skills be sure to activate those. You’ll also want to have the Artes Sphere, which can be found by turning in 100 Jet Black Feathers to the feather trader. Depending on who you’re using, you’ll want to set any 8 of the following skills. You can view the current Link Artes you have by press at the Artes Menu and pressing to filter it by character.

    If using Milla

    • Rock Trine
    • Wind Lance
    • Cyclone
    • Fireball
    • Blade Torrent
    • Bolt Strike/Thunder Blade
    • Binding Sphere
    • Flame Ring
    • Shining Prism/Divine Streak
    • Shimmer Spin
    • Whirling Assault


    If using Jude

    • Demon Fist
    • Cerberus Strike
    • Palm Strike
    • Healer
    • Talon Storm
    • Cyclonic Surge
    • Soaring Vortex
    • Phoenix Plunge
    • Sun Spark
    • Steel
    • Mirage Blitz


    Set 8 of the 11 capable artes to the following commands in your artes menu

    Now when the bar turns yellow in battle, you’ll want to use to use an arte, then press to activate Overlimit. While the animation for the first linked arte is playing, you’ll want to keep pressing + to chain the next linked arte, then or + to chain the next one, and so on, going down the list until you run out of artes to chain or Overlimit ends. Using this, you can easily get 7 or 8 chains per Overlimit.

  • You need 450 chains to get this. Note that chaining off of one chain will only count as one so if you're farming for this you'll need to stop after one chain then chain again.
  • @Kashi009 I'm sorry Kashi, but that is false. I got my trophy 410-450 using Leia/Jude doing a 6 arte links for 5 chains each. Did it 8 times in one battle (with minimum damage on) and got exactly 450.
  • If you want to grind this set your skill settings to 1 damage, and just keep pumping it out. Using Milla link her to Jude when she goes down he will pick her up which auto levels the arts bar to the next section. Also have Leia in your party when she steals an item it also auto levels the arts bar to the next level. Keep doing this until you reach over limit and then link the arts for this trophy. The best place is anywhere with enemies with over 10k hp you can be in battle for a while with 1 damage. Running over limit over and over and over again 7 to 8 times each.
  • Well at least with NoctisFFVs13 tip and the explanation above I now make a 3 chain if I am very lucky and that is more than I most had. Never in all the times I've played TOX 1 or 2 did I manage to get more than 3 chains. I did set my artes, well 8 as was said (I just took the first 8) but Not all seem to link or just suck which could very well be the case. Still need 122 to get the trophy but it is now going very quickly getting the overlimits.
  • half hour later and I am doing better. Even had a 4 chain link and just need 79 chains so thank you all.
