Tips
Keep an eye on Flynn's 'Title' screen as you progress. Some Altered Artes are unlocked by acquiring specific titles, like the 'Benevolent Beneficiary' for Distortion Blade.
Pay attention to the required skills! Many of these Altered Artes need you to have learned specific base skills first. Make sure Flynn has those skills equipped or learned before trying to use the Altered Arte.
Weapons are key for some of these. For example, the Vorpal Sword and Flamberge show up multiple times as sources for different Altered Artes, so upgrading and equipping them can be a good strategy.
Don't forget that some key components, like Crucible and Athenor, are obtained automatically as you progress through the story after Flynn joins. Just keep playing, and you'll get them!
