Tips for Unlocking
  • Focus on learning the required skills first. Some of these skills, like 'Dispersion' or 'Crucible', might take a while to learn, so start working on them early.
  • Keep an eye out for the specific items needed. Items like 'Gaia Cleaver', 'Mjolnir', and 'Crimson Axe' (and their +1 variants!) can be found in various shops or dropped by enemies. You might need to do some farming!
  • Don't forget about the 'Red Twin Blades' title for Karol – that's a unique way to get one of his Altered Artes!
