Welcome to the trophy guide for Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World! This one's going to be a doozy, much like Symphonia before it, but on the plus side, you don't have to do 5 playthroughs for this one! There's still some frustrating trophies, though, so be ready to work for this platinum. Below I'm going to link the guide I followed to achieve a lot of my trophies on my New Game Plus playthrough, as it helped me out immensely to get skits that I missed, do sidequests I missed out on, and just overall be a wonderful guide. So thank you to Vivi29 on gamefaqs for making such a helpful guide for us to follow. Either way, let's get started!
True Dawn of the New World You have obtained all trophies. This truly is the dawn of a new world!
You worked very hard to get this platinum, so I say congratulations to you! Now, take a nice rest from this game, you need a breather.

Below I'll list his titles and how to obtain them, since I feel it might be.. a little easier? Regardless, if you'd rather use a guide, the guide I used is above all the trophies for easy clicking. Trust me, it was a lifesaver for trophy-hunting.

Normal Ending You cleared the story and obtained the "normal ending." Did your heart resonate?
(SPOILERS INCOMING FOR ENDINGS! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK, UNLESS YOU WISH TO REMAIN SPOILER-FREE, IN WHICH CASE, PLEASE GO TO "Yeah Phoenix!")
So, after defeating Richter, there are 3 battles, and the way you tackle them will ultimately decide the ending you receive. For the normal ending, you must let Lloyd and Marta defeat you in the first battle. Then, while playing as Emil and fighting Ratatosk one-on-one, you must lose to him as well, to achieve the normal ending. After, just reload your save and try to get the other endings, just to have them done with.

True Ending You cleared the story and obtained the "true ending." Their journey continues.
This is roughly the same as the normal ending, but you MUST win against Ratatosk instead of losing, or else you'll only get the normal ending, as well as some other things that the game keeps track of. First, don't swear allegiance to Lloyd in the beginning, and don't leave the Triet Ruins too much after going in. Then, don't get struck by lightning more than 13 times in the Temple of Lightning. If you don't lose the Centurions' Cores within those two temples, then you're on track, then just play as normal. Finally, beat Ratatosk one-on-one to reach the true ending!

Bad Ending You cleared the story and obtained the "bad ending." You sure you wanted to do that?
For the bad ending, simply defeat Lloyd and Marta in the first battle. It might seem difficult, but once you defeat one of them, the other should fall easily. Just be careful and you shouldn't have too much trouble. Defeat them to reach the bad ending... and have a feeling of personal guilt for the outcome, because it's sad.

Yeah Phoenix You defeated the Phoenix. It's a phoenix, so it's not really dead.
So, this requires a bit of legwork first. You have to complete Richter's Sidequest in order to unlock the ability to enter the Balacruf Mausoleum and fight the Phoenix inside. In Chapter 2, you must talk to Koton when you reach Hakonesia Peak. And in Chapter 4, you must go back to Hakonesia Peak and talk to Koton again as soon as you enter Izoold. Eventually you'll gain access to the dungeon, but don't feel like you have to beat the Phoenix while with Richter, because it's NOT an easy fight. If you're on New Game Plus, however, and you're of higher level and have tough monsters, you could easily take it on. Once you complete the sidequest, you can return to the Mausoleum whenever you wish, with a better team setup and everything.

Katz? Katz. You fulfilled "Treasure Hunter's Trophy - The truth." The truth is "meow," meow.
Starting in Chapter 5, you can undertake a series of sidequests titled "Treasure Hunter's Trophy." There's one in Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 8. You must beat the one in Chapter 5 to do Chapter 6's mission and so on. However, some people have reported that the mission doesn't show up after a certain point in their game in Chapter 8. I never had this issue when I played the game, and I followed the guide linked above. If you're concerned, then make sure you do the mission immediately in Chapter 8 once you can. Otherwise it's not a terribly hard mission, especially if you're doing it on New Game Plus.

Gladsheim Buster You conquered Gladsheim. You are a true warrior.
Oh boy, here comes some bias because I hate this dungeon. So, to start with, you can only access this dungeon on your 2nd playthrough or more, which is fine, that's pretty standard stuff, and it's not an issue. However, if you're familiar with Niflheim from Symphonia, this is basically Niflheim on steroids, for lack of a better term.
The layout is a similar concept, you're in a randomly-generated room - in Niflheim's case, each room was a 3x3 space, or 9 platforms, and you had to make it to wherever the warp points were to continue lower. Well... in Gladsheim, each room is now 8x8, or comprised of 64 platforms! This is already a huge difference, but here's the tricky part: You must find the 4 corners of the floor, without even knowing where you start from. And remember, each floor is randomly generated, so you can't just look it up. You need paper, graph paper, or something to help you. I used online graph paper, but it was so frustrating. I spent HOURS dealing with Gladsheim. The good news, I guess, is that there's only 9 floors to contend with, as the 10th floor has the boss of the place, and after you beat it, you're done in Gladsheim... hopefully, but more on that way down below. Also, just note that there ARE save points if you wish to take a break. There's one on floor 3, and one on floor 6.

Singled Out in the Coliseum Won the single battle in the Coliseum with a special battle. You must be really special.
In Meltokio, you can challenge the Coliseum, with each rank unlocking as you win the previous ones, so beating Bronze rank will unlock Silver, and so on. The Special Rank is tough, especially alone, so make sure you're past level 100 before attempting it! The same can kinda be said for Party and Monster formats, but for the monster battle, you have NO control over the monsters, except for being able to tell them which artes to use, so make sure you have a tough group of monsters ready. If you want to know what I used, I used a Galf Beast, Wolf Heddin, Ravenous, and Fenia. Note that each rank has a level restriction, so you can't just go in there with broken-powerful monsters. And the 4 monsters I listed are final-forms, which require you to have statues. Look for a synthesis guide to get everything you need to know about them.

Cooked My First Meal You cooked for the first time. There's always a first time for everything.
Simply go to any Katz and cook a meal for a monster. Simple and easy!

You've Changed Your monster transformed for the first time. It's a fresh beginning! Yeah.
When you look at your monsters in the main menu, by hitting Triangle, you might notice a little monster-face icon next to their portrait. This indicates that they're ready to evolve. Simply go to any Katz and cook some food for the monster, and it can evolve. What it evolves into depends on its level and its species, so experiment until you find what works best for you!

Let's Unison You performed a unison attack for the first time. Let's keep at it!
It won't take long to receive this, as once you can start using them, you'll be using them often, just due to how useful they are in battle, so you could almost say that this is impossible to miss.

Finality-Ratatosk Performed a mystic arte for the first time. It's time for a counterattack!
Once you can use the skill "Special," equip it and use an Arcane Arte, but hold your attack button (by default I believe it's X for attacks, and O for artes, so hold O) and Emil will use his Mystic Arte (or Marta if you prefer to play as her), and boom, another trophy down. Odds are you're going to use Mystic Artes a lot, so it kind of can't be missed.

Synthesizer You synthesized for the first time. Let's breathe new life into your possessions!
You can synthesize at any shop. Just check by every so often and see if you can make new stuff. Pretty simple trophy.

Hard is Hard Cleared the game with the difficulty set to "Hard." I'm sure you can do "Mania," too.
You can simply just set the difficulty to Hard when you fight Richter, so don't worry too much. But if you'd rather play the whole game on Hard, that's fine too.

Mania Maniac Cleared the game with the difficulty set to "Mania." I'm sure you can clear it on "Unknown."
By beating the game once, you unlock Mania difficulty. HOWEVER, you MUST play the entire game on Mania to unlock the Unknown difficulty! But considering this is probably New Game Plus, you shouldn't have much difficulty, especially with inheriting your tough monsters and getting exp boosting benefits from the Grade Shop.

Return to Normal Cleared the game with the difficulty set to "Unknown." What did you see in the unknown?
And, like Hard mode, you can just fight Richter on Unknown if you wish, but be aware that he'll be at his toughest on Unknown, so be prepared, and at a reasonably-high level!

Ultimate Unison You performed Ars Nova, Emil and Marta's special unison attack. Burn baby, burn!
Emil and Marta must have the Special skill equipped (You get it at level 30), and there must be one light and one dark element on the Element Grid. Then, just use a Unison Attack as normal and Ars Nova should activate. The main element in the middle doesn't matter.

Beginning Wanderer You've encountered 100 battles. Go and fight more.

Forever Wandering You've encountered 1,000 battles. Battle today, battle tomorrow.
Yep, 1000 battles, but the game keeps track of your encounters. Just try not to skip many battles, you could use all the exp you can get, same with Gald and Grade! And if you transfer battle data to other playthroughs, it helps a lot.

Hit Emperor Your maximum hit number is 100! This is passion!
When Marta hits level 100, she gets Speed Cast 3. Have her equip all 3 and find a suitable place to spam Photon on an enemy (She'll cast so fast that you can endlessly use it).Personally, I did this in the Coliseum Single Special, and I had no problem getting it, but see what works for you. Make sure you give Marta equipment that can either boost her TP or cut her TP consumption to make it easier.

One Hundred You played for 100 hours. No seriously, you did.
Pretty self-explanatory, once your in-game time hits 100 hours, this is yours. Considering how long you'll be playing this game for, with 3 playthroughs minimum, you'll get past 100 hours without even trying. Of course you COULD just let the game sit for 100 hours, but that's a waste of time you could be spending making progress (BE SURE TO INHERIT GAME TIME FROM THE GRADE SHOP!!).

Professor Monster You completed the Monster Book. You must now know everything about monsters.
Despite what you think, this does NOT require you to have every single enemy listed in the book. In fact, this only applies to the monsters you can tame! So, technically, you'll be grabbing this while grabbing Master Engager.

Master Engager You have formed pacts with all monsters. You are the king of the monster world.
Yeah, this isn't easy to do, honestly. However, evolving monsters counts as a pact, and each species has a final form, so to speak, which requires a statue. Honestly, if I were you, I'd reach post-game, then compile a list of all the monsters, then start removing monsters that you have already, then use a guide to determine what monsters evolve when and need what statues. It seems daunting, but I finished my list surprisingly quick when I did this, so you might be able to do it too!

By the Way... You watched all the skits. You are a true artist of conversation.
I would honestly just follow the guide up above, which I used when I did my New Game Plus run, for 100% completion. It lists every skit as the opportunity arises, and some skits have some weird conditions, such as reaching Chapter 4 without ever changing Emil's title, for example. Also... I mentioned in the Gladsheim trophy about beating it once? Well... the boss has a - by default - 5% chance to drop a Kismet, a weapon for Marta. Well... this weapon has a skit behind it when you obtain it. So, if you don't get the Kismet, you have to go through Gladsheim all over again, or reload your save on floor 6 and try again. It is IMPERATIVE that you equip all skills/items that make item drop rates rise, because I'd hate to see you have to suffer through Gladsheim more than once for a skit.
And that's it! This game, I won't lie, is a hassle to platinum, especially when there's a lot of things that you can miss, like the skits. But, if you're diligent, you can pull it off. On the bright side, it doesn't require 5 playthroughs like Symphonia did, so that's good, right? You only really need to do 2, because once you play the whole game on Mania and unlock Unknown, and grab the Mania trophy, you can reload and do Unknown, without a 3rd playthrough and wasting your time, you know? Ah well, hopefully this helps you get one step closer to another shiny platinum, and I wish you luck in your attempts!
*This game took me a total of 8 months and 2 weeks to finish, from the first trophy to the platinum with a small hiatus in the middle of it all. My first trophy was "Hit Parade" which was achieved on September 1st, 2015 at 11:43 PM. My final trophy was "Return to Normal" which was achieved on May 16th, 2016 at 12:45 PM, along with the platinum, "True Dawn of the New World." This platinum trophy is the 42nd platinum trophy I have received.*
Have a nice day!~
