Your expert guide to unlocking every trophy in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III. Master the roadmap for a 100% completion.
Hey there! Ready to tackle all the achievements in Trails of Cold Steel III? This guide will walk you through the best way to snag that Platinum trophy, breaking down the process into manageable steps. Think of it as your personal roadmap to 100% completion!
Step 1: Your First Playthrough - Exploration and Collection
For your initial run, I recommend playing on Easy or Normal difficulty. This is your chance to soak in the story and focus on collecting everything the game has to offer. Make sure to follow a detailed walkthrough to help you:
- Catch All Fish: Keep an eye out for fishing spots throughout your journey.
- Locate All Chests: Explore every nook and cranny to find those valuable treasure chests.
- Find All Collectibles: This includes things like Books, Cards, Character Notes, and Quartz.
- Complete Side Quests: Don't skip the Side and Branch Campus Quests, as they unlock a good chunk of trophies.
- Fill the Battle Book: Aim to complete the Battle Book for all your characters.
- Discover Recipes: Find all the new recipes to master the cooking system.
Completing these tasks during your first playthrough will set you up perfectly for the next step and ensure you don't miss out on many of the game's trophies.
Step 2: Nightmare Difficulty and Final Trophies
Once you've conquered the game and collected everything, it's time for your second playthrough. This time, crank the difficulty up to Nightmare! The great thing about a New Game Plus is that you'll carry over a lot of your progress, including unlimited bonding points.
- Unlock Bonding Trophies: With unlimited bonding points, you can easily max out your relationship with every character to unlock their specific trophies.
- Finish Battle Trophies: Any remaining battle-related trophies you missed on your first run can be mopped up now.
After completing this second playthrough on Nightmare, you'll be rewarded with the ultimate prize: the Platinum Trophy! Congratulations, you've earned it!
