I had taken the descriptions from the strategy guide, guess it was wrong on that one! I just finished that dungeon and I did see it there but I didn't feel like fighting it just yet.

For the love of me I can't find this guy. I've looked from corner to corner on every island in the NW part. Any specifics?

He should be around the hot spring. I couldn't get him to spawn for the life of me for the longest time. I'd just go back every once in a while to check, and I eventually got him. You might want to try going there with different weather conditions, not sure if that works at all.

[Dan261]

Okay thanks I'll try that. I remember stumbling upon that place by accident.

Oh and Yuri looks so badass with the black gangster hat. It fits him so well!

Maybe the guide meant it as a recommendation to fight it on the 2nd visit. Seeing in that you have to fight other things/people there.

I just finished the game and got all skits from the grade shop so how do I view them to get the achievement?

Somewhere on either Nam Cobanda island or Namcot Island. Can't remember which.

so I'll have to get to ch 3 again then and do you know if I can use magic lense for item hater title? I've missed almost every monster and boss in ch 1 during my first playthrough and I would like to try to finish the book for my 2nd

You can't use any items at all, inside battle or outside battle.

Also, you should be able to go to that island after you have beaten the game, unless you saved over that save file.

I def saved over the save file and I wanted to use my magic lense for bosses dam idk if I'll want to play it 3 times lol well since I can't use any items with Yuri is it okay if I use my magic lense with repede or estelle?

[The Pants Party]

I'm fairly sure you can't use items with anyone. I'm not 100% sure on that though.

You'll have to get to Nam Cobanda Isle again to view all the skits. In order to get the Item Hater title you actually have to view a skit, which comes after you formed the guild Brave Vesperia. If you haven't filled the requirements you can actually unlock all skits and view them at Nam Cobanda Isle, and get the title that way.

Hey! You answered every quiz question right! You are a true Tales fan. Thank you.

This is easy to get. Go to Nam Cobanda Isle. talk to the guy guy that is behind the table, on the bottom of the screen in the gym. He will send you on a mission that will require you to go, and find 4 books.
Here is how to find them:

Go to Hellure. go inside the mayor's house, and check the dresser in the middle of the room.

Go to Capua Torim(Sp?). Go inside the Fortune's Market HQ, and look at the book shelf.

Go to Helliord(SP?). Go to the knights HQ, and check the book shelf in the only room you can enter

Go to Mantic(SP?) Go to the inn, and chaeck the book shelf.

Go to Alluron(SP?). Go to the HQ and check the desk on the left of the room.

Now return to the guy and give him the books. This will give you your only oppertunity to take the test.

The answers to the test are:

1.) September 30th 1998
2.) Bubbles
3.)Raine
4.) Presea
5) The answer about the guy turning to stone, the very first answer.

2, 3 and 4 may be reversed, but the answers are right. The question about the nick name is bubbles, and the question about what character wasn't in tlaes of the world Radiant mythologies is Presea.

after the dialog, and rita getting her new title/costume. The Achievement will pop up at the same time, as the skit for completing the side quest.

The guy you need to talk to iks in the Guild HQ in Danghrest(SP?) he will be the old man in the top right hand corner. Basically you have to get titles to get this achievement. Since titles are required to get the items needed to get the achievement.

I got one question you didnt have listed above. The question went "In Tales of Symphonia, who is the worst cook in the party" the answers were Raine, Sheena, Lloyd and Zelos. I picked Raine and got it right, Maybe it mixes up the questions you get?

[Habilis_Orian]

For ''The Hit That Keeps On Hitting", you can also use Rita.

Go to Halure at night and fight a big group of Generator Boars. Have Rita do Thunder Blade to knock them in the air, put her in Over Limit, then start spamming Tidal Wave. The Boars will just get juggled in the air for as long as you keep doing Tidal Wave.

[KingBroly]

For the Giganto Monsters, I want to say that there is a title in relations to it, so the first time you can face one might not be the best time to face it if you missed talking to a person named Rich at the Traveling Inn about it first.

What do I have to do to get the Eureka achievement? On the description it says "See Little Mad Scientist" but I alrdy have that achievement and I didn't get the Eureka one.

[afexracerx]

Is anyone else having issues getting the Secret Mission achievement for fighting Yeager? I set up Raven with Rain and all that good stuff, went into Lvl 4 OL and spammed Rain at him, but he's always either blocking or turned the wrong way fighting someone else...I tried the fight about 5 times and then just gave up lol.

It must have glitched. Try again on a new save file.

Use free run (hold LT) to move so you are facing him BEFORE you activate Overlimit. Then start spamming and he should be blocking. If he doesn't block (which is what you want, that is how the guard break happens) and instead heads off to attack someone else, use free run again to reposition.

Ok cool, thanks for the help.

Yeah it was glitched. I started my new game today and I got it as soon as I synth my first item.

Anyone know about any other glitched achievements I should be careful with?

It was Raine I forgot to add that, but I also assumed everybody knew that

So for Secret Mission 10, do I have to destroy the orb before day and night change or do I just have to destroy the orb?

[afexracerx]

When I fought him, I destroyed the orb before he was able to change from day to night. It looks like if you hit it before it can change, it will just go back in. He will eventually spit it out again, hit it, goes back in, etc. I'm not sure if you're allowed to have it switch from night to day though.

[KingBroly]

After many attempts (rageful attempts) I want to confirm that all you have to do is to destroy the orb to get the achievement. Multiple day/night cycles can occur as long as you destroy that orb. Use Rita, in daylight, cast a water effect to bring out the orb, and during the night, cast a fire effect to bring out the orb. I used Judith to get the orb (because she can actually jump and attack) then finished off the beast with Yuri...barely around level 35.

I found an alternate method that is tried and true via YouTube. Click on "more info" for the complete strategy.

I had to register just to say thanks! Your strategy and video worked out great. I was mistaken in thinking that only the shield needed to be destroyed (the description in the first post had me stuck on this for an hour). I got it on my 3rd try.

Awesome, thanks for this. I'll definitely have to give it a shot when I get home.

[Habilis_Orian]

What if you missed a few Secret Missions on the first playthrough and then on the 2nd playthrough you go the ones you missed, would the game recognize that?

Or would you have to do all of them over in the 2nd playthrough?
