Please be aware that if you are attempting a 100% completion run of Trails of Cold Steel, it will require 2 play throughs of the game. 1 normal play through, and 1 New Game + play through carrying over all your items, quartz and notes for specific achievements listed below:


Social Note-working:



Will require 2 play throughs due to a lack of bonding points in the 1st play through. Make a note of which bonding events you didn't see the 1st time through.



More Like Rean QUARTZ-er:

• At a specific point in the game the principal will give you an option between 2 Master Quartz, to obtain both MQ for the achievement will require New Game + and carry over Quartz
  
• Don't spend all of your fishing points on items or accessories, you will need 500 points to purchase the Orochi MQ from Kenneth in the final chapter

Chest Grabber:


This guide lists the location of every chest on each map, but it is a very good idea to equip the "Detection" quartz at all times once you receive it to ensure you don't miss any chests as you go.


International Bank of Rean:


This guide will tell you to sell any items you don't need for a 2nd playthrough near the end of the game, if you don't have 1,000,000 mira at that point, you will get it by the end of your 2nd playthrough.


Eightfold Obliteration:


Easily achieved by using any character with a large radius S-craft and the Domination quartz.


Quick as a Flash:


Initiate double or triple advantage fights with enemies by hitting them from behind on the map and then initiating combat from behind the mob.


It is highly recommended that you keep a stock of 10-15 Battle Scopes as soon as you are able to buy them as you will not always have access to Analyze quartz or Crafts.

Fish at every fishing spot because you need to collect the fish for your journal, and you need the points to purchase important items to 100% complete the game

Achievement for Normal, Hard and Nightmare runs:
All difficulty achievements can be completed at the same time on fresh nightmare run. 2 runs are required for profile pages, play difficulty according to preference 1st time





Achievement for analyzing monsters:
(use Battle Scope items, Analyze Quartz, or Detection skills.)
