Sorry for taking so long to work on this guide, everyone. I've been doing bits and pieces at a time. Hopefully I'll be able to complete this next week.

For now, here are some helpful links for you all:

Setsuna's actually COMPLETE Trophy Guide
Agarest Wikia
Agarest Wikia's True End Path


The quick and dirty until organized roadmap:

One Playthrough:
To do one playthrough you must have a completed save data from the original Record of Agarest War. In this playthrough, follow the True End guide exactly to assure that you'll obtain the True End so that you may obtain all titles and other achievements.

Two Playthroughs (Normal > Extra):
This assumes you did not play through the original game. Do not grind for items and simply play to enjoy the game. On vacation days, go out of your way to visit the item shops and blacksmiths, as this will add items to your shop that normally will not register, allowing the weapons and items titles to become much easier to unlock.

Two Playthroughs (Extra > Extra) *Recommended* :
This assumes you have saved data from the original Record of Agarest War. On your first playthrough, play however you'd like but make sure to visit the item shops and blacksmiths, as this will add items to your shop that normally will not register, allowing the weapons and items titles to become much easier to unlock. Before continuing to the second playthrough, I recommend grinding for ATK+999 and MAG+999 items which WILL carry over when going from Extra to Extra with New Game+.

It's My Specialty - 10
Successfully executed a Special Art.

In order to use a special art, you must execute two consecutive (and specific) EX moves. For example, using Sieghart’s LV1 EX Move (Howling Storm) and then Routier’s LV1 EX Move (Aqua Prism) will simply cause Howling Storm to execute followed by Aqua Prism, and NOT gain you the achievement. The earliest Special Art you can do will likely be Alice’s LV1 (Gleam Flare) followed by Galios’ LV2 (Vortex Howl). When these two moves are placed next together in the move list, they will make the move Grand Stream. Even if the combo move “Grand Stream” does not appear, the move will still activate and the move will be added to your Esoterica book afterwards.

Some basic information on EX Moves:

LV1, require 50 SP, cost 18 AP, learned at the start
LV2, require 100 SP, cost 32 AP, learned at lv25
LV3, require 250 SP, cost 50 AP, learned anytime past lv45 by using a Proof of Valor

Time and Again - 20
Successfully executed a distinctive Special Art.

In order to use Alice and Ellis’ unique Special Art, you MUST be in Extra Mode. This allows you to enter Digest Mode which will place Ellis in your party. Once Alice and Ellis are in your party, they both will need to reach lv45 and have a Proof of Valor used on them to unlock their LV3 EX Moves. Once Alice has LV3 Eternal Cross and Ellis has LV3 C-Rejuvenation, enter a battle and use support moves on Alice and Ellis to build their SP to 250. Once both have their SP at 250, use both of their LV3 EX Moves consecutively to unleash their ultimate attack: Angelic Corona.

Here's a video showing the special move:

Time and Again

Better Safe Than Sorry - 30
Overkilled 500 enemies.

Overkilling enemies may come naturally for those with overpowered DLC weapons. However, for those without them, here are some tips:

• Get enemies to low health but do not kill them; instead, wait until next turn to unleash a barrage of attacks on them.

• Learn powerful moves early on. Go out of your way to get titles for killing X amounts of enemies, as those often give Skill books which allow you to make newer and better skills at the Adventurer’s Guild.

• Good 2nd generation skills to use are Execution (Double Edge + Cross Edge + Square Cross), Gore Crush (Power Attack + Meteor Impact + Deadly Blow), Accel Rave (Rush + Rapid Move + Rush Beat), and for mages, Stardust by itself is very powerful.

It's the Only Way to Be Sure - 10
Defeated an opponent with an Overkill.

Simply defeat one enemy with an overkill. To overkill an enemy, you must kill an enemy, then continue to do as much damage as it has HP. For example, if an enemy has 1000 max HP, then you do enough damage to bring him down to 200 HP, you will kill him by a mere 200 damage. However, to OVERKILL him, you must do 1200+ damage.

Stay Classy, Kraltarla - 10
Changed your class.

In order to change your class (which isn’t actually changing your class—only making you stronger), you must reach lv45 with a character and then use a Proof of Valor on him or her. Proof of Valors may be obtained through titles or overkilling bosses in Digest Mode.

Nirvana...? - 10
Created a marionette.

To create a marionette, you must reach Loger Forest, North in Generation 2. Inside that dungeon on one of the many winding paths, you will find an item named Forbidden Tome 1. Once this item is obtained, go to a town and enter the Alchemist’s Guild. Any past character will be able to be revived for a hefty sum, so it is recommended to save money for the revival procedure. Alternatively, completing any generation in Extra Mode’s “Digest Mode” will automatically give you a Forbidden Tome as well to revive the original game’s heroes and heroines.

Monstrous - 10
Combined monsters.

In order to combine monsters, you must first have two captured monsters. To capture monsters, you will need the Dark spell “Capture” and the Extra spell “Merciful Strike.” Capture will actually capture the enemy, while Merciful Strike will bring an enemy down to 1 HP and not kill it, allowing you to capture it instead. Simply damage an enemy to low health, then do the remaining damage with Merciful Strike to make sure that you won’t kill it. Enemies may be captured with HP anywhere from 1HP to 5% HP, but the lower HP, the higher the chance of capturing it. The LUK stat also influences this, as some enemies may show a message that says, “This enemy cannot be captured,” when in reality, your LUK stat is too low.

Once you have captured two monsters, go to a town and enter the Monster’s Guild. Choose the option to combine monsters, and put two together. Achievement unlocked!

The Combine - 20
Combine monsters 100 times.

As tedious as this achievement may seem, anyone aiming for all the achievements in this game will likely obtain this naturally. Late in the game, you will be able to combine monsters for ATK+999 and MAG+999 active items, which require monster combinations to make. To save some time:

Mandrake Root + Medusa = Dryad (Trade for monster weapon which converts to MAG+999)

White Dragon + Ring Dragon = Silver Dragon
White Dragon + Silver Dragon = Yellow Dragon
Ring Dragon + Living Dead = Fafnir
Yellow Dragon + Fafnir = Arc Dragon (Trade for monster weapon which converts to ATK+999)

Mandrake Root and Living Dead can be found at the location "Tyranny of God."
White Dragon can be found in the Hidden Dugeon Fenstermacher Plain at "Noshieru." Ring Dragon can be found in the same dungeon at "Coltorti." Medusa can also be found in the same dungeon at the beginning battles as well as "Coltorti."

*Not recommended for Normal Mode, as items do not transfer

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes - 5
Converted an item.

To convert an item, you must first raise its level to 5 by enhancing. To enhance items, go to the Blacksmith’s Guild and click on Enhance. From there, press A to select an item, then push right until you reach your desired level of enhancement. Once an item reaches level 5 enhancement, press A on that item again and you will be asked if you wish to convert it. Convert one item and this achievement is yours!

[iNf3Rn0 Lan]

Fleet of Foot - 10
Your agility has exceeded 50.

This will come naturally throughout the story. However, if you wish to achieve it early, you may save up a large sum of PP (which you can use by pressing Y on “Status” then choosing a character) then spend it all on one character to raise his stats. Alternatively, if you have a completed save file of the original Record of Agarest War, you will begin with 2500 PP which will grant you all five of these achievements easily.

First in our Hearts - 50
Cleared Generation 1.

Story related. Cannot be missed.

Second to None - 100
Cleared Generation 2.

Story related. Cannot be missed.

Stroke of Luck - 10
Your luck has exceeded 50.

Please refer to “Fleet of Foot.”

It's a Trap! - 10
Captured a monster.

Please refer to “Monstrous.”

Sound of Mind - 10
Your intelligence has exceeded 50.

Please refer to “Fleet of Foot.”

Stout of Heart - 10
Your vitality has exceeded 50.

Please refer to “Fleet of Foot.”

Strong of Body - 10
Your strength has exceeded 50.

Please refer to “Fleet of Foot.”

Homeowner - 5
Got your first title! Keep it up and earn some more.

When you first enter the Adventurer’s Guild, you are bound to have least one title in green for you to unlock. Simply press A twice on it to unlock it and gain some items as well as an achievement!

Landlord - 40
You have more than 100 titles.

Please refer to "Monarch."

You're En Good Hance - 20
Enhanced items over 5,000 times.

Enhancing 5000 times will more than likely not come naturally. Unlike the first game, you may enhance as many levels at once and each level will count as one time. For example, if you enhance an item from lv1 to lv5, you will get 4 enhances. However, converting an item does NOT count as an enhance. Therefore, 1250 items enhanced from lv1 to lv5 would unlock this achievement. To save EP and money, it is recommended to buy Spatas from the shop for 100 gold each, as upgrading them costs little money.

The Quick Method-
If you have a Street Fighter 4 control pad with turbo (or any controller with turbo for that matter), turn on turbo for the A button and begin enhancing items. You can hold A, tap right, let go, and an item will be enhanced to the max in a matter of less than a second. This is easily the quickest way to do this achievement and will save you a ton of time.

Enhance! Enhance! - 20
Earned 25,000,000 EP.

Earning 25,000,000 EP will come naturally for anyone planning to 1k the game; however, as EP is extremely viable early in the game for upgrading equipment, I recommend purchasing the “Point Addition Pack 4” on the marketplace for 480 points ($6). It gives you 50,000,000 gold and 50,000,000 EP which will take a large amount of stress off your shoulders for making and upgrading equipment. Upon loading your save file, you will unlock the achievement.

Point Technician - 20
Earned 10,000 TP.

Earning 10,000 TP may sound hectic at first due to the low amounts gained each battle, but by progressing through the game, you will begin to earn more TP each battle. TP earned is calculated by taking your highest hit count in a battle and dividing it by 4. So if your highest hit count in a battle was 100, you would earn 25 TP for that battle. This is one achievement that I would NOT recommend buying a point pack for, as TP is largely worthless throughout the majority of the game save a few purchases, and by the time you have a lot, you won’t need it anymore.

Profilic - 20
Unlocked all profiles.

In order to unlock all profiles, you MUST get the True End and MUST be on Extra Mode. Profiles are unlocked automatically through the story in Zero as well as the story in Digest. If you have unlocked almost all of the profiles and cannot figure out what you are missing, it is likely the following:

• (Zero) Decimal & Poulets—Unlocked by completing the battle with Decimal in the Boundary Plane
• (Digest) The profiles for the 6 gods—Unlocked by defeating each god respectively

[iNf3Rn0 Lan]

David Attenborough - 40
Completed the monster picture book.

In order to complete the monster picture book, you MUST achieve the True End. Many of the monsters can only be fought in the Boundary Plane. If you’re missing monsters, you may go to the Agarest Wiki or this thread by hayabusaDGO.

If you’ve completed the majority of the game and are still missing monsters, you likely have not fought the rare monsters. They are:

Miesha, found in Larme Fol Canyon (Ruiju Daffodils)
Mucrane, found in Etrandere Fen, East (Tale Wellspring)
Luijt, found in Scarred Mountains (Purge)
*Recommend killing 2 of each for a title

Clione, found in The Boundary Plane (Obscurity/Expunge) *True End
Vepar, found in Fenstermacher Plane (Place of the Dark Dawn)*Hidden Dungeon
Jatayu, found in The Boundary Plane (Minor Lament) *True End
Sandworm, found in Ohtor Plateau (Wily Retainer Room) *Hidden Dungeon
Belladonna, found in Cape Promontorio (Barca Reef) *Hidden Dungeon

You may also fight Sandworm and Belladonna in a special fight in the Boundary Edge. Make your field bigger if you aren’t getting both types of rare monsters.

Monarch - 50
You have all the titles. Good work!

To view all the titles and what you obtain from them, please go to the Agarest Wikia.

Titles are split up into quite a few different categories. There are titles for:

• Defeat up to 4,000 enemies
• Win up to 750 battles
• Deal up to 5 million damage
• Deal up to 400 hits
• Possess up to 10,000,000 gold
• Combine monsters up to 50 times
• Smith up to 500 times
• Enhance items up to 2,000 times
• Complete the Zero Story
• Obtain the True End
• Complete the Digest Story
• View all Zero CG events
• View all 3 Hot Spring events
• Possess X amount of specific items
• Defeat X amount of specific enemies
• Collect all Zero Esoterica books
• Collect all Zero Secret Art books
• Collect every weapon (excluding monster weapons)
• Collect every type of armor
• Collect every type of accessory
• Collect every type of item (Tools)
• Collect every skill
• Defeat bosses in the Boundary Plane

As horrific as this sounds, most titles can be obtained fairly easily by doing titles one at a time. The only ones to cause any major difficulty are the two for collecting every weapon and item. If you’re having trouble with these, remember to press to scroll through an item’s information to see if it can be converted to what you need.

Agarest Weapons
Agarest Items

Spoils of War - 20
Earned 25,000,000 G.

This achievement will unlock naturally through the post-game for anyone aiming to get all the achievements. Although money may seem scarce at first, it will become abundant later from receiving high amounts each battle. If you would like to achieve this early, you may buy the Additional Points Pack 4 which includes 50,000,000 Gold and 50,000,000 EP. This achievement will unlock upon loading your save file.

Certified Pre-Owned - 15
Sold 1,000 items.

To easily obtain this achievement, simply buy 99 spatas from the shop for 100 gold each, then sell them back. Repeat the process about 10 times, and you will unlock this achievement.

Til You Drop - 15
Went shopping 500 times.

Although this achievement’s description states that you must go shopping 500 times, you merely need to purchase 500 items. If you’re going for “Certified Pre-Owned” as well, you should unlock this while going for that achievement.

Real Soviet Damage - 25
Dealt 10,000,000 points of damage.

Dealing 10,000,000 damage may sound difficult; however, achieving this at any level above 50 is very possible (although 100+ is recommended). To nearly guarantee this achievement, you should use the following characters:

Sieghart
Leonis
Mimel
Dyshana (Extra Mode Only)
Ellis (Extra Mode Only)
Alice

Use a Proof of Valor on each character to increase their stats and unlock extra skill slots as well as their LV3 EX Moves. After having each character’s class upgraded, you should be ready. As total damage is calculated through each enemy that gets hit, find a large group of enemies (6+) that can all be hit with the range of EXT Stardust.

To get SP quickly, you may want to put a low level spell on each character such as Heal or Revitalize. Each time a character uses a move on himself, he will gain 10 SP. Each use of a spell on an ally will generate 5 SP for each character. Once your SP is above 250 for each character, move your characters around until the enemies are in range. Start off the combo with each character combining their LV3 EX Moves. The special Area-of-Effect attack “Soul of Blaze” will be unleashed. This is easily the strongest Special Art in the game, and is a great way to start your combo with 5+ million damage. After using S.O.B., you may want to consider adding some of the following AoE moves:

Rapid Stream
- Blast
- Rapid Move

Earth Nova
- Ascension
- Ascension Shower
- Ray

Grand Cross
- Black Mist
- Dark Flame
- Dark Ray

Stardust

Additional combo moves such as GEN Execution and PWR Gore Crush will add damage, but will only affect one target versus the whole group, so only use these after all other attacks have been used.

Real Soviet Damage

(Thanks to MasterLL for the video and finding the method!)

[iNf3Rn0 Lan]

You're Already Dead! - 25
Try and get a hit count of 650.

Obtaining 650 hits can be easily obtained with the right strategy. I recommend that you use a Proof of Valor on each of your characters so that they get extra AP and skill slots. The highest hit-giving skills are COM Combo skills, so you’ll want as many of these in your party as possible. Characters with multiple slots of these skills are:

Eugene
Sayane
Shernini
Dana
Niel
Fyuria (Extra Mode)
Noah (Extra Mode)

The combined attack COM Accel Rave gives 72 hits when the enemy is in Broken status. To break an enemy, use strong attacks or an EX Move. Any low level enemy will be easily broken, and all attacks with get the broken amount of hits. I recommend using the following moves towards the achievement:

Accel Rave (72 Broken Hits)
- Rush
- Rapid Move
- Rush Beat

Execution (48 Broken Hits)
- Double Edge
- Cross Edge
- Square Cross

Mirage Force (52 Broken Hits)
- Trick Hit
- Critical Charge
- Shadow Sting

Earth Nova (40 Broken Hits)
- Ascension
- Ascension Shower
- Ray

Grand Cross (40 Broken Hits)
- Black Mist
- Dark Flame
- Dark Ray

Joint Break (24 Broken Hits)
- Critical Charge
- Square Cross

Stardust (12 Hits)

Love is a Battlefield - 25
Engaged in 2,500 battles.

Please refer to “Fight in the Shade.”

Fight in the Shade - 20
Defeated 10,000 enemies.

Unfortunately, this achievement and “Love is a Battlefield” will more than likely not be unlocked naturally. After unlocking all other achievements, go to a battle with weak enemies where you can leave your game on for some time. Put the game on Auto Battle by pressing Select, and press to advance through the menus when necessary.

Alternatively, if you have a turbo controller, you can make these two achievements much more simple by keeping the button held down while having the game play itself. Leave the game on overnight or when you’re not around and you’ll likely unlock these achievements much sooner.

Secret Achievements

It Happens to a Lot of Guys - 5
Nope, he did it again.

This achievement will come naturally for anyone who frequently creates items at the blacksmith. To unlock this, you must have the blacksmith fail creating an item. This is entirely luck-based but is bound to happen eventually. If you're intent on unlocking this, save your game and then craft everything possible, then reload after you get your achievement.

He Chose...Poorly - 10
Changed Ellis's appearance.

To change Ellis's appearance, you must complete Digest Mode's 5th generation. This will cause the god battles to appear. Trigger the event at the Frontier (Digest 1st Generation) and listen to the conversation between Leonhardt and Ellis. After completing a few battles or a few gods, this event will appear. Simply click on it and change Ellis back to a child.

The Important Bits, at Least - 30
Cleared the digest route.

To unlock this achievement, you MUST be on Extra Mode. You unlock this after defeating Chaos after completing the rest of Digest Mode.

For those curious about the heroes of Digest Mode, each one is restricted to swords since you cannot choose the brides; instead, the canon choices are made.

1. Fyuria
2. Valeria
3. Lavinia
4. Hildegard

Once you finish Generation 5 in Digest Mode, you will have to defeat a god on each continent. After doing so, you unlock the fight with Chaos. Defeat him to unlock this achievement.

Truth and Consequences - 100
Saw the true ending.

It is possible to obtain the true end on any playthrough. However, the requirements are a bit shaky. The basics of it are:

• Niel left the party at Trizon Fortress
• High level affection from Heroines
  • It is stated by some that you can do first generation with a 6,6,4 between Heroines and still obtain True End, but not with 5,5,4.
  • I personally did a 6,6,5 1st Gen and 6,6,4,4,4,4 2nd Gen playthrough and still got True End. I suspect you may need an average of 5+ (which is exactly what I got) love ratings to unlock True End.
• You do NOT have to see every event
• You do NOT have to beat timed-turn boss battles

To ensure the True End, please follow the True End Guide.

Son of a Beach - 20
You have visited the beach.

If you're following the True End Guide, you're bound to unlock this naturally. However, if you're not but would still like to unlock this achievement, follow these steps:

Generation 1

1. See Routier at Inn during Vacation Day 4
2. See Eugene at Forest during Vacation Day 4

After Vacation Day 4, the first beach scene will appear.

Generation 2

1. Meet Eugene during Day at Vacation Day 2

After Vacation Day 2, the second beach scene will appear. After watching the second one, your achievement will unlock.

[iNf3Rn0 Lan]

Dungeon Master - 20
Cleared all the hidden dungeons.

To unlock this achievement, you must first unlock the 3 hidden dungeons. You will unlock them while following the True End Guide; however, here are their unlock conditions:

• Cape Promontorio (During Vacation 4 at Alegria in Generation 1 you must visit Tetora on Night 5 at the Entrance.)
• Ohtor Plateau (During Vacation 1 at Mowales Village in Generation 2 you must visit the Adventurer's Guild on Night 5.)
• Fenstermacher Plain (During Vacation 4 at Will C'est-fini in Generation 2 you must visit The Bar on Night 4.)

After clearing every point of each dungeon the achievement will unlock.

We Meet at Last - 25
Encountered the worst enemy.

To unlock this achievement, you MUST be on Extra Mode. This is easily the hardest achievement in the game, as you must complete the entire Boundary's Edge, which is unlocked after defeating the Boundary Plane as well as Chaos. Boundary's Edge itself is an immense difficulty spike compared to the rest of the game, and this is where you skills will be ultimately tested. Here are some tips for surviving both the Boundary Plane as well as Boundary's Edge:

• Focus on winning the battle, not rank
• Fully upgrade EVERYTHING
• Make sure you have sufficient ATK/MAG+999 items, and use other high-tier upgrades such as MOV+3 and Restore AP++
• Get Revive on everyone possible--this spell will revive a character the turn after they are killed (very helpful if you accidentally put a full team up front and only one character stays alive, as everyone with the spell on them will come back at the beginning of the next turn)
• Abuse Unleash All/Magic/Anger. Sometimes having a character with low health is barely different from full health, whereas the damage boost is extremely significant

And not to intimidate you, but here are the maps for the Boundary Plane and Boundary's Edge:





Once you defeat Val-Alduke in BOUNDARY'S EDGE, the achievement will unlock.

Don't Get Cocky! - 25
Defeated the monstrous Decimal. Haven't eaten him yet, though.

To fight Decimal, you must first clear Obsidian Death Blade in the Boundary Plane. After clearing that, an event should appear at Dawn of Rebellion. You will find yourself in a battle with both Decimal and a Chickapede. A strange trick I found for this battle involves blocking off Decimal due to the field.

- = not a point
* = square
o = party member spots
O = needed party member spots
D = Decimal
C = Chickapede

-------***-------
-------***-------
-------***-------
o**o*CCCDDD**
*****CCCDDD**
*o**OCCCDDD**
****O********
*o***********
*************

First, place your party members on the leftmost side of the field. Make sure to put two members where the capital O's are, as this will cause Decimal to not reroute around the side, and you can block him if he does. Place the other party members in the back area to avoid attacks and provide support as needed. Abuse stardust on the Chickapede or other spells with similar range to damage both the Chickapede and Decimal simultaneously. After surviving long enough and killing the Chickapede, you should have enough SP to defeat Decimal easily.

This does not follow the strategy mentioned above, but it does show the battlefield and adapting strategies:

Don't Get Cocky!

Hot Springs Eternal - 20
You have visited the hot springs.

To unlock this achievement, you MUST unlock True End. You will obtain 2 of 3 Hot Spring events while following the True End Guide, but the 3rd one is found in the Boundary Plane at the start. The following are the requirements for the scenes:

Generation 1

1. Meet Eugene at Bar during Vacation Day 4
2. All Female members are relationship 3+

This scene will occur at Ebene Plain near the end of Generation 1.

Generation 2

1. Meet Eugene at Night during Vacation Day 4

This hot spring scene will occur at Will C'est-fini near the end of Generation 2.

True End (The Boundary Plane)

This will be the very first point in the Boundary Plane. Enter the mountains in the middle of the map to unlock a new path to the Boundary Plane. Once there, view the event and you will unlock the achievement after.

I Know - 30
You reached the end of a generation with at least one woman completely in love with you.

Unlocking this is as simple as marrying any woman who has level 6 affection with you. You can check their affection with you by opening your menu and then pressing while over Status. From there, hit Affection and you can check each heroine's affection for you. The achievement should unlock sometime between selecting the woman and the end of the marriage scene.

They Mostly Come Out at Night - 20
Defeated the four types of hidden monsters.

To unlock this achievement, you MUST get the True End. The four monsters needed for this achievement are:

• 146: Vepar (Fenstermacher Plain: Place of the Dark Dawn)
• 147: Jatayu (Boundary Plane: Minor Lament)
• 148: Sandworm (Ohtor Plateau: Rebel General Room)
• 149: Belladonna (Cape Promontorio: Litesta)

The Sandworm and Belladonna have a very rare appearance rate, so there is a special fight in the Boundary Plane where you can fight two of each. Make sure to select a bigger field for the fight if only two of one rare monster appears. After defeating the last monster, this achievement will unlock.

Not sure if I'll need this post or not, but I'm making it just in case.

! you don't need merciful strike to capture a monster. It just helps. all you need is capture and have the monster below 10% of it's health. Also thge monsters you listed for the +999 items are located in the dungeon at the end of the game. Except for the mandrake root which is right before the last town.



If you go in there at around level 45-50, and finish a fight say with a devil monster in it in 2 or less turns. You can easily Rack up over 25,000,000 gold, EP, and 20,000 TP Thus getting those achievements very easily. The3 first fight was against 1 Devil and 3 medusas, and 2 elemental knights. After the battle which lasted 2 turns i got 1000% multiplier and got over 10 mill exp, 10-20 mill gold, 5-10 mill ep, and 5K-7K TP

Sorry to nit-pick but it's 5% health or less.

[iNf3Rn0 Lan]

Yeah, I had the 5% thing. Also I hadn't finished everything on all those achievements yet, sorry! They're up now though.

Also, Ray, I'm not sure how you got that much stuff from those battles, but once you gain a ton of experience like that, you won't get so much the next time, so it's not very viable for grinding purposes.

Just to add some more info to your guide. The kill 10,000 enemies and 2,500 battles will NOT be completed even after earning all titles. I unlocked every weapon and every item, and while some items require rare drops, they aren't that rare.

A few tips for these are:

Put the game on auto battle, and make sure you have completely finished the game before attempting to get all weapons and items. After both boundary planes are finished in extra mode, everyone will be around level 700 and overkilling anything is a breeze.

Get a turbo fire controller, because you are going to have that button taped down for a while if you don't want to sit there and keep pressing to re-enter a battle.

Complete weapons from most expensive to craft, to least expensive. Making the most expensive weapons will make you craft the least expensive ones, and you will know how many of each weapon you need. Salamanders are a pain in the ass to get, for instance, so knowing how many you need to grind for will save you time.

After you finish all weapons and items, you will more than likely still have about 3000 enemies to kill and about 750 battles to finish. That is about 24 hours of play time. A tip will be to have 2 characters in your party, so they don't waste massive amounts of time overkilling weak enemies, make sure you have a mage that has only one stardust, and that's it (I used Mimel) and make sure you have Leonis with rapid move and blast. That will finish most early battles in about 15 seconds and with load times it averages out to about 1 minute per battle. Leave the on your turbo fire controller taped down overnight, and in about 2-3 nights of this you will have the two battle achievements, which were by far the most time consuming.


A tip for 10,000,000 points of damage is to get a team that has a combined attack with their EX 3 moves. I used Leonis, Sieghart, Mimel, Dyshana, Ellis, and Alice and get a group of about 4 enemies close to each other. I did it with killer bees, make sure every character has the 8 AP heal spell and keep casting it on themselves, then use the move S-O-B and any other attacks you can. I did over 20m damage with it and was ranked #2 on the leaderboards for a while after that.

Changing Ellis's appearance is done after completing the Agarest Zero boundary plane (I think) and going to the first continent in extra mode where there will be an event asking if you want to be old or young or something like that, and pick younger.

Does anyone have any insight as to whether the achievements for battles and killing enemies carry over to a new game?

In the first ROAW there was no achievement for anything like this, but the #'s carried over to an extent.

Say you were working on the title for 500 battles. If you had the title for 250 battles, your # would be set to 250 at the start of a new game. Basically whatever the highest level of title you had is what it would set your # to on a new game.

Those carry over. I've done 3 playthroughs, so I can confirm this. Same goes for pretty much every title except story related ones. Even the Boundary Plane boss titles carry over, but you can't unlock those until the end of Gen 2 when they appear. I can only assume the achievements have the count carry over as well, since the Enhancing one did. I counted for that one after all.

Also Xterminator, I just beat Boundary's Edge today and my characters are MUCH lower than 700--I'm just 432!

Well if you replace 1-2 high level characters and, use a low level monsters or characters in their stead you can keep infinitetly repeating this proccess. Especially if you have characters from the first gen you never used, such as the brides ect... But hey who am I to Argue woth this method even if I only got the money and EP achievements this way really easy.

[darksidecow]

in digrest mode do your love rates or light/dark rates matter for the main chars of each generation so like if my lavina is rated lvl 4 for example will my duran be weaker or does it not matter? and do you have to be nutral at the beginning of gen 5 to get dishana?

5000 / 95265 = 0.052485172938644832834724190416207 aka 5% rounded.

10% would be 9526.5 HP

Also it says 5% in both RoAW and Zeros game guides.
