Optional Sidequests (2)

Guide to completing all optional sidequests in Tales of Berseria, including unlocking Elite, Demihuman, and Undead Quarters, defeating bosses Jude and Milla, and triggering all related skits and achievements.

There are three new Class 4 Zones you can unlock and complete:

• Speak with the pirate in Port Zekson to unlock the Elite Quarter and then travel there to find a Katz Box on the pier.
• Speak with the pirate in Lionel Wharf to unlock the Demihuman Quarter and then travel there to find a Katz Box with the Lizard Tail to the northwest.
• Speak with the pirate in Lionel Wharf to unlock the Undead Quarter and then travel there to find a Katz Box in the south.

After completing all the Class 4 Administration Zones you'll trigger the skit Malevolence Without End and unlock the Trophy/Achievement: Emergency Management.

Travel to Reneed and speak with the katz on the bridge between the town and the harbor and then teleport to Normin Island. Head up the stairs and speak with Normin Heerow on the right for the skit The Former Head Exorcist and then make your way to the top of the island, where the matching puzzle is located, for a scene.

Boss: Jude & Milla

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Jude (2): HP: 256180, Weakness: Fire, Resistance: Water, Wind
• Milla (2): HP: 284645, Weakness: Earth, Resistance: Neutral, Fire

Strategy:

• Jude and Milla are each pretty deadly on their own and together they are a formidable pair. While Jude uses a mixture of different elemental artes, the majority of Milla's artes are non-elemental. If you have gear that nullifies non-elemental damage and use it in combination with reflection of nullified damage, this battle will be significantly easier at lower levels.
• Focus on Jude, since you can easily perform a weak points combo with Velvet's fire-based artes and Defiant Conviction and try and collect the maximum souls. The reason it's a good idea to stockpile souls is that you'll need them to stay in Break Souls mode long enough for the bar to turn a deep red, 20 seconds, to perform Nightmare Claw (after the third strike in a combo) and then unleash Velvet's 3rd Mystic Arte for massive damage.
• In addition, stockpiling souls can save your life when you get stuck between Jude and Milla, as Velvet can tank them until she reaches 1 HP and unleashes her finisher and then theronize again to stay alive.
• Once Jude is down, Milla is pretty easy to take down by using Blinding Frost, Avalanche Fang, Tearing Thorn, and Mega Sonic Thrust to keep her stun locked. Build up your souls and pummel her with Velvet's Break Souls and unleash her 3rd Mystic Arte when you meet the requirements.
• Make sure they use their dual-character Mystic Arte in battle if you want the trophy for seeing all Mystic Artes in the game.

After the fight, you'll trigger the skit Pengyon Might Be off the Menu and unlock the Trophy/Achievement: Striding Beyond the End.

Teleport to Lothringen and make your way to the center of the tower to speak with Normin Krimsen for the skit Return to Aball and then teleport to Aball. You can now make your way to the gravestones for a scene, followed by the skit Why He Became the Shepherd.
