    How to unlock Bounty: Arcana

    See Bounty: Gemstones for an explanation on how Black Market "Near" boosting works.

    A bounty is a treasure that is can only be found randomly by killing enemies. If you kill an enemy sometimes you will see a treasure like object fall off of them, then in the top right corner it will say 'Bounty Collected: x'. Bounties are divided into 3 categories; Common, Scarce and Rare. The rare ones are annoying to get as the chances of getting them are very slim. As you will be doing two playthroughs you should have between 1/4 - 1/2 of each set but it entirely depends on luck. Patch 1.03 increased the drop rates for bounties.

    These particular bounties are the Arcana playing cards, they are found in chapters 2 and 3. The best spot for these ones to farm is on chapter 2. Eventually you will meet up with Chase for the first time and Dante will walk off and leave you to do some inspecting of treasures ad Artefact's. Eventually you will get ambushed by about 8 enemies. What you will want to do is kill them in the quickest way possible, once Nate says 'That's the last of them' or something similar either restart the checkpoint or back out to the main menu and press continue. I found the 2nd method worked best. You can see how many you have by selecting 'Black Market' on the main menu. The trophy will unlock after getting all the bounties in this set.

  • (HOPEFULLY) HELPFUL TIP - To those who are still boosting this : I found NEAR to be almost entirely useless for these trophies. The best method I found to get the bounties to appear relatively quickly is the following: Go to chapter select > find the first chapter that has the bounties you’re looking for > start that chapter on Easy or Normal > play through the game from that point until a bounty drops > quit to the main menu > start same process again. For example, if you’re after Gemstones, they start to drop as bounties on Chapter 28. So, from the chapter selection screen, start Chapter 28 on Easy or Normal and just play through the chapter until a bounty drops. If it doesn’t drop by the time you get to the next chapter, just keep playing until it does. To my experience, a bounty
  • (remainder of above post): would drop this way 80 -85% of the time in the first chapter they start to appear in. Hope this helps! I know it definitely shortened my grind time doing it that way……

  • Anybody still playing this i decided to start farming for bounties now
  • my psn name is my username
  • Still trying to farm these bounty trophies. Really, really annoying ones.
  • Trophy still almost unobtainable. Also, for me replaying the very saem sectio with 8 enemies at the end of the chapter does not give result. I receive bounty from them only when I start chapter from the very beginning. @33 & @34 We can try together to farm it. My PSN is exact as username here.
