Tips & Tricks
All credit goes to Cheshire!
- All achievements can be obtained in a single save and are unmissable. You will still be able to roam around after finishing story mode so you don’t need to worry about finishing the achievements before.
- You can sprint by holding down the right bumper button.
- Jellal’s skill Sema has a chance to instantly kill any non-boss monster, he makes regular requests a breeze, even better if you equip him with an Army of One 3* Lacrima ( 30% chance of having another turn after acting).
- Wendy will make any fight easier as she can heal, revive, buff and deal a good amount of damage all in one package.
- Each character has a unique Lacrima that only they can equip – don’t ignore them as they can easily outweigh the default ones, all Lacrimas can be crafted at Levy’s Laboratory.
- Use Link Hunt to grind and don’t hesitate to use Magical Foundation Growth as soon as it’s available, it will make the 10 and 100 year quests a breeze.
- Keyboard support for the game is abysmal, for your sanity use a controller if you can.
Combat Achievements
Massive Melee
Used Link Hunt.
You will need to advance through the story to unlock this feature first. Once you do go to any wilderness area and hold the left bumper button until you’re happy with the amount and press x. Pay attention to the color to avoid having your party wiped.
Magical Foundation Growth
Performed Magical Foundation Growth.
After finishing the story you can go to the Guild’s second floor and interact with Ultear’s Crystal. You will need a character at level 99 with 2000 Magical Foundation Points – obtainable by defeating any enemies. The best way to grind is to spam Link Hunts and clear them using Magic Chains, Jellal’s Sema also works very well. You can do this as many times as you want, stats are all capped at 999 except HP which is capped at 9999.
Magic Chain
Completed a 5 chain with Magic Chain.
BIG DAMAGE
Dealt 100,000 damage with Magic Chain.
ULTRADAMAGE
Dealt 1,000,000 damage with Magic Chain.
There are a few upgrades that can help you increase your Magic Chain damage. In addition to ATK Lacrimas and maxing your stats through Magical Foundation Growth:
- Fully remodeling the Library will provide 30% additional damage from Magic Chain.
- Natsu’s unique rank 5 Lacrima “Core of the Fire Dragon” will increase Magic Chain damage by 50%.
Law
Activated Mavis’ Law.
Mavis’ law is one of the Extreme Magic finishers you can get during a Magic Chain. As the chosen attack is completely random your best bet is to quickly charge your Fairy Gauge using Link Hunts and spam Magic Chain.
Rough and Rowdy
Destroyed 5 objects with Over Damage.
Demonic Destroyer
Destroyed all giant objects with Over Damage.
You only need to destroy objects with a golden icon to unlock the Demonic Destroyer achievement. The easiest way to reach the required damage is to form a Link Hunt next to them and use your Magic Chain attacks.
