Rita's Mystic Artes

Learn how to unlock Rita's powerful Mystic Artes, Indignation and Ancient Catastrophe, in Tales of Vesperia. Follow these steps to unleash devastating magic!

Alright, let's talk about Rita's super-powered Mystic Artes in Tales of Vesperia! These are some of the most devastating spells in the game, but they're not exactly handed to you. We've got two main ones to cover: Ancient Catastrophe and the legendary Indignation. Let's break down how to get them.

Ancient Catastrophe

This one's pretty straightforward once you know the conditions. Think of it as a prerequisite for some of her ultimate magic.

• First off, you absolutely must have the 'Special' skill equipped. This is key for a lot of Rita's advanced techniques.
• Next, you need to be in Over Limit Level 3 or higher. So, get into a good combo going!
• Finally, while holding down the 'Attack' button, cast any of Rita's advanced magic: Arcane, Altered, Burst, or Intermediate/Advanced Magic Arte.

Indignation

Now, Indignation is the big one, and it has a bit more of a process to unlock. It's tied to a specific challenge, so get ready!

Unlocking Indignation:

1. You'll need to have used Thunder Blade at least 200 times. Yeah, you read that right. Keep spamming that spell!
2. Just like with Ancient Catastrophe, make sure the 'Special' skill is equipped.
3. You need to enter The Mysterious Two Hundred Man Melee. This is a special battle challenge, so make sure you're playing as Rita when you go in.
4. Fight your way through until the Time Traveler shows up.
5. Once the Time Traveler is in the fight, you need to reduce their HP to below 50%. Don't finish them off yet!
6. Now, get Rita into Over Limit Level 4. This is the highest level, so you'll need a solid combo.
7. While in Over Limit 4, cast Thunder Blade.

If you've met all these conditions, 'Thunder Blade' will automatically transform into 'Indignation' and instantly defeat the Time Traveler. Pretty cool, huh? Once you've done this, 'Indignation' is yours to use whenever you want, and it even carries over to your New Game+ file.

Using Indignation:

To actually cast Indignation after unlocking it, the requirements are:

1. Again, the 'Special' skill must be equipped.
2. You need to be in Over Limit Level 4.
3. This is the tricky part: while holding down both the 'Attack' button AND the 'Artes' button, cast an Advanced Magic Arte.

Mastering these Mystic Artes will make Rita an absolute powerhouse on your team. Keep practicing those combos and managing your Over Limit, and you'll be unleashing some serious destruction in no time!
