Tips
- Keep an eye on your quest log and side quest markers. Many of these curiosities are tied to specific side quests that you might overlook if you're just rushing the main story.
- Don't forget about Charon's Toll! You'll be buying a lot of Orchestrion Rolls from him, so make sure you have enough Gil saved up. Some of them are quite pricey, like the 'Before the Storm' roll for 50,000 Gil.
- Renown is also a currency you'll need for a couple of items, so keep completing those side quests and hunts to build it up. The 'A Rose is a Rose' Orchestrion Roll costs 135 Renown, and 'No Risk, No Reward' costs a whopping 1,120 Renown.
- The 'The Oath' curiosity requires you to specifically check the Wall of Memories. It's automatically obtained, but you need to interact with that specific memory to make it count for the trophy.
