Intro:

 

Spectral Force 3 is a JRPG much like Zoids Assault, Operation Darkness, or the concept of any Tactic based RPG. You have a numbers of characters that level up, upgrade equipment, and have dialogue. There are many an opportunity to procure more party members during your playthrough based off of conditional fights. It has moderately fun game play with a sharper learning curve than the aforementioned titles. This game is far less forgiving achievement wise but is well worth a play if you enjoy RPG's.

 

Preparation:

Firstly ALL achievements unlock after the mission is complete and you have saved the game.

 

The game consists of "Find Work" tasks, Missions, and Dialogue. To best prepare there are 1.5 playthroughs required, Where in you will destroy the Nameless Army then the Underworld army in your first playthrough, but NOT Overlord Army(for Al see below). And the inverse will be done on your second playthrough, Underworld and then Nameless.

 

Your mercenary rank will not carry over to your second playthrough, which is required for some character recruitments, neither will characters recruited, or the character levels. All you keep for your second playthrough is money and items. To raise your rank complete missions in fewest turns possible with high combo hit count and damage done with 0 retreats and you should get an A. You will need many A rank missions to recruit many different characters.

 

The order in which you destroy the other armies plays no affect,except with characters "Break" and "Al", but to recruit everyone Flauster and Shilineeg must be preserved until they are the only two armies left. The computer can also destroy armies so keeping multiple saves is advised as thus in case you need to revert.

 

  • World Map (current/ every Month)
  • During Preparation
  • World Map (every 3 Months)
  • World Map (every 6 Months)
  • End game save or World map (every year)

 

If the Computer destroys underworld or nameless armies out of the order you seek, reload your save and instead complete work for the army that was destroyed, this should prevent their destruction. Most work however I completed leading with Flauster.

 

Focus all funding on upgrading your character weapons between missions, this can be accessed through the smithy option and requires materials and money to upgrade weapons. Upgrade your favorite characters with the gear you get from recruiting other members. They won't be using it unless you bring them to the mission so there is no point on equipping everyone

 

Check the Converse option at the world map screen after EVERY mission. It only takes a few seconds and all dialogue in game can be skipped if you desire it so.

 

Casters with a high enough INT stat can be power leveled by grouping your party into a cross or "X" formation and casting buff spells such as lightning wings or protective barrier, which can be crafted through the blacksmith. Equip it to your caster and spam it during combat. This is useful for leveling a character you will need for an upcoming mission that requires you to bring along specific characters.

 

Use Battle formation attacks (see below) often to knock out the achievement.

 

You can speed up the movement of all actions both AI and player by holding down the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/rt.png button thus exponentially cutting down playtime.

 

 

Missable Achievements:

All but two achievements I would technically say are missable. The two you likely can't miss are Culcha and Total Enemies Defeated. Culcha is a story related mission and she joins your party automatically upon completion. Total Enemies should come naturally, with ease, about a third of the way through the game, assuming you aim to obtain a 1k.

 

For Battle Formations, Max Combo Hits, Total Damage, and S rank see the below descriptions, everything else works as thus.

 

Complete missions when they are available, Always check for dialogue options. Do "Find Work" tasks when there are no longer missions available.

 

Achievements:

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/705/UP+2Nh4=.jpg Battle Formations 25http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Performed Battle Formation 50 times

 

Battle formations are learned about 1/5th of the way through the game. They can only be used at the beginning of a players turn, you will move to the enemy you wish to attack and you'll notice the option to use BF by hitting the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/rb.png button. It can only be used directly next to an enemy and requires "assist" attacks or "teamwork" attacks. In order to do those Diaz must be alive and not knocked down and can be accessed when based on the squares at the bottom left of the screen. One full square allows for an assist, worth 5 gauge points. Two allow for a Teamwork attack worth 10 Gauge points. build up to 25/50/75/100 respectively in order to perform stronger BF attacks. When you have completed 50 BF attacks save and this will be yours.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/705/UP1x2oM=.jpg Total Enemies Defeated 25http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Defeated 500 total enemies

 

This should come naturally through the course of game play, kill things. It should unlock upon saving.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/705/UPx3xzg=.jpg Max Combo Hits 25http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Dealt 100 hits or more in a combo during a mission

 

As you progress your characters (around level 32) you will gain a tech 3 attack that covers a large area attacking many foes sometimes multiple times at once on each enemy. Begina's Crescent Edge, Culcha's Orc feast...meat...toss...something , and Orochimaru's Dragon attack are 3 that will help you get this easily. If you open with Begina's, on 5 targets simultaneously, you will get an Eighty Five hit combo. Use your teamwork attack to control Culcha or Orochimaru and follow with their tech 3 attack. These will fill your battle gauge quickly as well as fill your BF attack bar allowing for a powerful finisher almost always doing more than 15k damage from just culcha and begina and 125+ hits.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/705/UPyRIhA=.jpg Total Damage 25http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Dealt 10,000 or more total damage in a combo during a mission

 

Following the above method for max combo should net you both the combo and the damage achievements at once. Save and it's yours.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/705/UP5Wzo0=.jpg S Rank 25http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Earn an S rank in a mission

 

The criteria for achieving an S rank are as such

 

  • Diaz must be level 40 or greater
  • You must use TWO 100 power BF attacks
  • Both 100 power BF attacks must be cast AFTER a 100+ hit combo
  • No one can retreat or "die" during the mission
  • The mission must have 20 enemies or more, Destroy underworld and destroy nameless are great missions to do this.
  • Take as many turns as you need to build up BF attacks to 100.
  • Easy mode: Heal your party, Build up Battle gauge using FG up 1/2/3, Cast a teamwork even if you do nothing after you use it and get BF to 80. wait for begina's turn use crescent edge on Four or more enemies, Teamwork Culcha Use her tech 3, Teamwork any one that can get to an enemy within one square, you should be at bf 100 use it and do it one more time. Finish the mission.
