Welcome to the trophy guide for Tales of Xillia! All trophies are linked to titles ingame, and every title has a progress bar to show you how close you are to the next level of the particular title, making progress tracking very easy. As such, there won't be much info from me, except a couple of important things, like the skills and linked skills, but otherwise, this is very straightforward. Let's begin!
Lord of Xillia The mark of complete Xillia mastery. Thanks for playing!
As always, collect all of these trophies to get this shiny platinum!
Enemy Sage Achieve a target number of entries in the Enemy Book. Awarded to Xillia's truest enemy enthusiasts.
The target number is 275. Some areas are one-time only, so fight as many enemy battles as you can, as well as work for the Devil's Arms and the Coliseum in Xian Du for additional entries. Jude and Milla each have exclusive bosses, so this is easier to do in NG+ if you wish. Track progress with your titles menu.
Item Fanatic Achieve a target number of entries in the Item Book. Awarded to Xillia's most avid item collectors.
The target number is 700. You'll find items EVERYWHERE, so just be very thorough with your search and look around everywhere and buy everything you can once you have a lot of Gald to spend. You'll get this eventually.
Sub-event Superhero Complete a target number of sub-events. Awarded to Xillia's most curious questers.
The target number is 90, and since MANY of these are missable, I'm going to provide a link to the guide I used while I played this game during Jude's story. This wonderful guide made by greenzsaber on PS3T was an extremely helpful guide and helped me get this trophy on my first playthrough so I didn't have to worry about this during my clean-up playthrough with Milla for the final couple of trophies. I'll link it right now!

Obsessive Skit Viewer Unlock and view a target number of skits. Awarded to Xillia's most dedicated couch potatoes.
The target number is 220. Some skits have extremely sensitive timing, so there's a way easier way to do this if you're too worried.
When starting New Game Plus, hopefully you have 3000 GRADE to spend on the skit viewer. Then, in the library, just view every skit until the trophy pops. It seems like it'll take a while, but this is how I got this trophy, as by the time I finished Jude's story I was missing maybe.. between 2-7 skits, so I was pretty upset with that. Then, after, just reload your save and spend the GRADE in a better manner and move on.

Treasure Treasurer Find and open a target number of treasure chests. Awarded to Xillia's finest treasure hunters.
The target number is 300. Just search everywhere, you know what a chest looks like. There are well over 300 in the game, so, again, be thorough with your search.
Loot Lord Find and gather a target number of random treasures. Awarded to Xillia's most precocious packrats.
The target number is 800. Random treasures are the sparkles or small bags on the map, and are represented by blue/white bags on your map/radar. However, it can only be 800 INDIVIDUAL spots, and there are well over 800 in the game. These spots respawn and change every time you enter an area again, so be sure to keep a close look out for them.
Pirate King Discover a target number of Aifread's treasures. Awarded to Xillia's most adventurous outlaws.
The target number is 50. Aifread treasures are the treasures found in purple crystals. You see a small bit of information on one not long into the story, before you meet Elize for the first time, and they are typically found in trees or on walls. Some are easy to see, others aren't. Just be really thorough, and some of the treasures are extremely useful and helpful to you.
Jet Black Buzzard Trade in a target number of Jet Black Feathers. Awarded to Xillia's finest feather collectors.
The target number is 459. In Sharilton, there's a trader who is also linked to a sub-event about the feathers. You can only hold 255 feathers at a time but that's a lot. You can find them anywhere, mainly from random forage spots on the map, and random treasures on the map. It's just a grind to get the amount you need, but it's worth it in the end. Plus, you can trade them in for some rare materials for your shops.

Item Shop Magnate Upgrade the item shop to its maximum level. Awarded to the most valued item shop customers.
You obtain materials from forage (sparkling) spots on the map, and generally from battles. You can use these materials at your shops, or use Gald, to upgrade the shops. As you put in more materials and your shops gain more levels, you obtain better prices and better items in general, so it's always worth it. Shop levels are consistent through the game and you can inherit shop levels in New Game +, if you wish.

Monster Exterminator Achieve a target number of enemy encounters. Awarded to those who live for combat.
The target number is 800. An encounter still counts even if you run from it. You'll have to grind a lot, but the grinding can help with levels, Devil Arm strengthening, and some other trophies below.

Specialist in Rare Monsters Defeat a target number of rare monsters. Awarded to those with a knack for monster hunting.
The target number is 75. A rare monster has a yellow triangle over its head, or is a Bacura enemy (A rotating 3D square enemy). You MUST defeat the enemy for it to count. A somewhat easy way to farm them it to repeatedly go between Sapstrath Deepwood SW and Sapstrath Highroad SW, and look for a the enemies inside the Deepwood. If nothing, leave and re-enter. Repeat until your sanity is low.

Combo Artiste Perform a combo that exceeds a target number of hits. Awarded to those whose combo skills pay the bills.
The target number is 100. An easy way to get this is to spam Sylph with Milla and the Minimum Damage skill found in an Aifread Treasure inside the Old Vicalle Mine, and maybe the Risk Ring for everything to have 1 TP usage, or have Auto-Items ready to roll for TP. Then, find a durable enemy, like the tortoise enemies in Rusalle Highroad, and spam Sylph. You can get over 100 hits with it, easy.

Sadist Exploit an enemy's weakness a target number of times. Awarded to those who know how to hit where it hurts.
The target number is 1350, but it's not as scary as it sounds. Whenever you see "POWER HIT" appear, you've added 1 to this total, so if you find an area where you see a lot of POWER HIT pop ups, stay there for a bit and grind a while. That's what I did early on.

Leader of Links Perform a target number of linked artes. Awarded to those who understand the value of teamwork.
The target number is 1350. Unlike Forger of Chains, this one isn't as super grindy, as it can be done before Overlimit status, and every linked arte chain you do towards the next trophy will count towards this as well. It's still very grindy though, and you can only do it as the small segments of the Overlimit bar get filled and prompt you to do a linked arte.

Forger of Chains Perform a target number of linked arte chains. Awarded to those who strive for battle perfection.
The target number is 1350. This is definitely a longer one, as linked arte chains are only able to be done while in Overlimit status. Your artes menu can tell you what artes can be used for arte chains. As you get more artes and more Over Extensions, you can perform more chains during Overlimit. Try to bang these out as soon as possible, this is a very grindy trophy, sadly.

Skilled Delegator Utilize Auto-Items a target number of times. Awarded to team leaders who know how to delegate.
The target number is 400. I believe that, by default, Auto Items is on, but if not, just double check. Auto Items have to be set, however. Certain sub events give you additional slots for items to use with Auto-Items. It seems like a lot, but being stocked up on items and having some nice choices for Auto Items will make this easier. I definitely recommend Life Bottles if you want to make sure somebody is going to get you back up if you die. However, once you start getting artes like Revive or Resurrection, you won't need the bottles on AI anymore.

Sous Chef Trigger a target number of food effects. Awarded to those with an affinity for fine cuisine.
The target number is 800. Every food item has an effect, and when you look at your food in your inventory, it will tell you how many battles the effect lasts. One food effect is equal to one battle. If you manage to start this early, you can work on this while you bang out the monster encounter trophy.

Snap Pivot Adept Perform Jude's Snap Pivot a set number of times. Awarded to those who've mastered Jude in battle.
The target number is 150. As Jude, backstepping an enemy attack at the right moment will cause Jude to vanish and instantly appear behind the enemy, allowing you to get a quick attack in from behind, so they can't guard. The timing is a little tricky at first, but you'll get it in no time. 150 seems like a lot, but it's not too bad, you'll be doing this a lot.

Spirit Shift Adept Perform Milla's Spirit Shift a set number of times. Awarded to those who've mastered Milla in battle.
The target number is 150. For Milla's artes, sometimes you can tap Circle instead of holding it, and the arte will change, such as Fireball becoming Flare Bomb. Using Fireball is actually an extremely quick way to do this, as Flare Bomb comes out very fast and uses little TP. 150 sounds like a lot, but it's really not too bad.

Charge Adept Perform Alvin's Charge a set number of times. Awarded to those who've mastered Alvin in battle.
The target number is 150. As Alvin, holding Circle after performing an arte will charge his weapon, making it glow white. If you're not super-grinding this trophy out during endgame or anything, just use Alvin every so often and charge when you can. 150 seems like a lot, but it's not as bad as it sounds.

Teepo Switching Adept Perform Elize's Teepo Switching a set number of times. Awarded to those who've mastered Elize in battle.
The target number is 150. To switch Teepo on/off in battle, just press L3 (press the left analog stick until it clicks) and Teepo will switch. Hold L3 and he will keep switching back and forth. You can do this on regular enemies that can't really make you flinch. A very easy trophy to obtain.

Arte Tuning Adept Perform Rowen's Arte Tuning a set number of times. Awarded to those who've mastered Rowen in battle.
The target number is 150. Rowen's artes can be sometimes influenced with the left stick or the Circle button. The easiest way to do this is to just use Fireball, as you just have to keep hitting Circle as you use it for Arte Tuning to take effect. Certain Lilium Orb skills will make this even easier to do.

Elongating Staff Adept Perform Leia's Elongating Staff a set number of times. Awarded to those who've mastered Leia in battle.
The target number is 150. Elongating Staff works identically to Snap Pivot with Jude, so the same process applies here. Her staff grows and glows white upon success. You will also hear a chime. Even while it's elongated, you can continue dodging enemy attacks. As long as you hear the chime, you're set.

Yeoman Healer Witness Jude's Restore skill a set number of times. Awarded to those who partner well with Jude.
The target number is 150. While linked with Jude, if a power enemy knocks you down, Jude will rush to your side to pick you right up, pretty much immediately, so that you can fight again immediately. Bosses can knock you down easily so if you're working on this, bosses are a good pick for some grinding. Otherwise, finding power enemies isn't hard, but the higher your level, I've noticed, the less likely you are to be knocked down. To do this, I used Alvin, and I set everybody's AI to do nothing except the skills. Alvin had no equipment, but wasn't in danger of dying, so he kept getting knocked down and Jude kept healing.

Skilled Binder Witness Milla's Bind skill a set number of times. Awarded to those who partner well with Milla.
The target number is 150. Arguably the worse skill to grind for, Milla will randomly use Bind when her and her link partner are on both sides of the enemy, and once you start attacking, she might use it. She's more prone to doing this with speed enemies, as you can check in battle. I had to work a lot to make her Bind and sometimes she would do it more while with another partner, but I did finally get it eventually.

Deft Breaker Witness Alvin's Breaker skill a set number of times. Awarded to those who partner well with Alvin.
The target number is 150. While linked with Alvin, attacking an enemy that tends to block your attacks will prompt him to fire his gun to make the enemy flinch and give you a chance to deal damage. Bulky enemies like dragons, golems, and tortoises tend to block often, so keep Alvin handy if need be.

Soul Drainer Witness Elize's Teepo Drain a set number of times. Awarded to those who partner well with Elize.
The target number is 150. While linked with Elize, running low on TP will cause her to exclaim, "Go, Teepo!" and once Teepo drains some TP from the enemy, she'll say "Sharing is caring!" This means that Teepo Drain was successful. Using high TP moves is one way to get this quickly, or if you're like me, just spam Demon Fist until the only words in your head are Demon Fist.

Spirit Guardian Witness Rowen's Auto Magic Guard a set number of times. Awarded to those who partner well with Rowen.
The target number is 150. While linked with Rowen, any time an enemy uses magic against you, Rowen will automatically use Auto Magic Guard on himself and you, protecting you. Getting to 150 is very easy, as some enemies use magic a lot and Rowen will always be on a roll with it, he will literally stop anything he's doing just to defend you, provided he's not knocked down on the floor.

Career Thief Witness Leia's Item Steal skill a set number of times. Awarded to those who partner well with Leia.
The target number is 150. While linked with Leia, if you knock an enemy down with an arte, Leia will attempt to steal an item from the enemy. A successful steal adds 1 to the counter, but you can't just steal from one enemy constantly. This isn't too bad. During Chapter 1, there's a point where you only have Jude and Leia in your party for plot reasons, so use that chance to get an early lead on Item Stealing.

Black Belt Learn a target number of Jude's artes and skills. Awarded to those who have mastered Jude in battle.
Jude must reach level 99 and completely max out his Lilium Orb, obtaining every skill and arte inside as well, to obtain this trophy. This goes for the other 5 characters as well.

World's Greatest Warrior Defeated the Golden Mage Knight. Awarded to the world's most formidable fighters!
You must obtain the Golden Key from beating the game, and then collect all of the Devil's Arms. After, you can enter Magnus Zero from the end of Fezebel Marsh. Magnus Zero is sort of like Nifilheim or Gladsheim from the Symphonia games, but not as frustrating. You go through places you've been to already, with very strong enemies, and you have to go through portals to reach the end and face the Golden Mage Knight. Magnus Zero can be used for your treasure and loot trophies, so bear it in mind! The Golden Mage Knight is tough and copies your party and their artes/styles, so be extra careful. Defeating him unlocks the power of your Devil's Arms so you can start destroying everything easily!
And that's it for the Tales of Xillia trophy guide! I love this game, and even though this guide doesn't seem like a whole lot, again, it's because the game does a wonderful job at keeping track of your trophy progress, because every trophy is linked to a title in the game, and it helps a lot! I hope you enjoyed this guide, and I thank you for reading it all the way through, if you did. As always, I will see you later! :D
*This game took me a total of 6 days and 4 hours to complete, from my first trophy to the platinum. My first trophy was "Snap Pivot Adept" which was achieved on June 3rd, 2016 at 11:55 AM. My final trophy was "She Who Upholds Her Conviction" which was achieved on June 9th, 2016 at 4:37 PM, along with the platinum, "Lord of Xillia." This platinum trophy is the 44th platinum trophy I have received.*
