We'll get everything sooner or later though, so don't bother carrying out a personal hunt for data to avoid wasting time anticipating something that can likely be done more easily in the future phases of the game. There's no need to pay attention to these numbers and IDs, unless you need to find a specific data: in that case, use the CTRL+F search function of your browser to immediately find where the desired data is (for instance if you see that you're missing the third weapon data, search "WID # 003"). For example the first weapon data you can acquire has a Weapon ID ("WID") of 122, and that's its position in the in-game official order. On the contrary, the "YYY" is the game's order of the data: by opening the "Collections" sub-menu of the main menu in-game you will see the collected data in a specific and preset order, which in the case of Weapons and Spaceship Data will basically never be the same as the chronological order. The "XXX" is the "walkthrough order" of the acquired data: the first you will find will be # 01, the second will be # 02, and so on. The "Collection Data" (Spaceship Data, Weapon Data, Monster Data) are written in a format like this: " Data # XXX/ - ID # YYY - ". Make sure to complete them as soon as you see a "Complete" entry of a specific quest in these pages. you will find a total of 201 (that's the amount of quests) "Quest # NNN Complete" entries in one page or another of the walkthrough.


I will always remind you when it's time to complete a quest, i.e. If a Quest (like it is in most of the cases) can't be completed as soon as you start it, then you will find a "Quest # NNN Start - " entry first, and then a "Quest # NNN Complete - " later, when it will be completed. The Shops and Quests will be listed with text shifted to the right, so you can see them better and separately from the main text. The text will usually be very rough indications on where to go to simply advance with the story, since the maps (the in-game one, but especially those provided here) will cover the position of items and other general points of interest. If the zoom level does not suit you, press CTRL and +/- to zoom in/out to adjust it.Įvery region/area of the game will be introduced with summaries for the chests, Harvesting/Mining Points (you'll learn what they are soon) and enemy info. Do not anticipate anything, do not postpone anything: stick with the guide and we'll do everything together in due time.Īlso, make good use of the maps provided in this guide, since they help in finding the way to go and this will let you complete the game even more quickly. This should make you understand that this walkthrough aims for maximum efficiency to cut down the completion time of this game as much as possible, and this will be possible if you follow every instruction step by step.

Of course feel free to level up a bit, especially if this is your first playthrough, since things are easier (but not faster, which is the priority in this game's completion) with higher stats. In this game you really "need" to level up only for the post-game dungeons, while the rest of the game can be played virtually (and practically) even on Chaos without having any non-mandatory fights, provided you know the mechanics of the game. Another general suggestion to cut down the gaming time is to skip the unnecessary fights.
