Tales of the Abyss

• 100 Gald
• Apple Gummy
• Lemon Gummy

PASTA RECIPE *

When you first arrive in Angave, talk to the lady in the house on the far west side. She'll ask you to fetch some Miso if you agree to help her out. Go to the house next door and talk to the old lady there (she's just to the right of the door, so you can miss her if you're not watching carefully) to receive the Miso. Take it back to the lady and she'll teach you the recipe for Pasta, as well as give you 6 Angave Noodles, 5 Noodles, and 1 Milk.

COLLECTOR'S BOOK *

Before leaving for the Cheagle Forest, talk to the apple seller. He'll ask you to retrieve a small box from the Forest for him. The box is in a treasure chest in a fairly obvious location. Once you get it, return it to him, and he'll give you the Collector's Book in exchange.

ST. BYNAH GUMMY SHOP *

The medicine shop in the back of St. Bynah is missing some materials. If you can bring the man at the left counter a "Gummy no Moto" and a "Menka" (Cotton) he'll give you a Miracle Gummy and open his shop. You can find both of these items by searching nearby search points on the world map.

GUY'S TRAINING *

When you first get Guy, rest at the Inn in Kaitoor. You'll get a little event where Luke trains with Guy, and Luke will learn Shunjinken.

LUKE'S OUGI

When you first return to Vaticle, talk to Luke's butler to trigger this subevent. He'll tell you that some ougi books that were supposed to be delivered to him were mistakenly sold by one of the maids. He'll give you 20000 Gald to buy the books back. Go down to the harbor to catch the merchant. He'll say that he already sold three of the books, but he still has the fourth. You can give him the 20000 Gald to teach Luke Majinken.

After St. Bynah sinks, talk to the merchant in Yuliacity standing off to the right. He has another one of the books. After you've convinced the king of Vaticle to stop the war, go to your house and get 40000 Gald from Luke's mother. Return to the merchant to teach Luke Raijinken.

Third, before heading to Roneal Snowy Mountain, talk to the man standing at the counter on the first floor of the inn in Kethelburg. He has the third book; again, get money (80000 Gald this time) from Luke's mother. Return to the man and Luke will learn Ganzan Messaijin.

Finally, after clearing the Radiate Gate, in Daht at the library that has the secret passage to Zaleho Volcano talk to the man standing at the window. After getting 150000 Gald from your mother return to learn Kuuha Zeppuugeki.

GUY'S OUGI

When you first return to Vaticle, talk to Pear (Luke's gardener) several times until he has a conversation with Guy. He'll tell Guy to look for a man named Gee in the Zao Desert.

When you get to the Oasis in the Zao Desert, talk to the man standing in the back of the building. He'll tell Guy that he needs to talk to several other people to learn his school's ougi, and will give him the Hodo Citizen Register.

Next go to the north side of Kaitoor. In one of the buildings here Guy will find the next teacher and learn Rekkuuzan.

After Cassadonia sinks, go to Daht and talk to the man standing near the monument outside the church to the right. He'll point out the location of the next man.

Go to the bar in Grand Cokuma to find the fourth man, who'll say that the last man is in a 'small cold house'.

Go to Kethelburg's main square and go inside the igloo there. Talk to the man to complete the event; Guy will learn Senkuu Shoureppa.

JADE'S FORBIDDEN SPELLS

After getting your party together again after clearing the Absorb Gate, go to Grand Cokuma. Visit the Markt Army base (to the left of the palace) and talk to Zezman in the strategy room. He'll give Jade a book that he found that has some odd inscriptions on it. Take the book to St. Bynah and talk to old Admiral McGovern. The book has three spells sealed into it, and you'll need to find 9 inscriptions to release all of the spells.

The inscriptions are:

• 1. Cassadonia - go to the north side's Inn, second floor, and check the drawer in one of the room's htere.
• 2. Kethelburg - enter from the south side, then check the back of the statue in the northern plaza.
• 3. Sheridan - go to the northwest area of the town to find some kids talking and you'll find the inscription. Jade will learn Absolute.
• After clearing the Radiate Gate...
• 4. Grand Cokuma - enter here, then enter the Radiate Gate to get it automatically.
• 5. Velkende - examine the room that Spinoza was in.
• 6. Kaitoor Port - automatic event. Jade will learn Prism Sword.
• 7. Daht - Talk to Florian in Ion's room.
• 8. Fubras River - automatic event.
• 9. Yuliacity - check the right back corner of the main hall. Jade will learn Meteor Swarm.

There have been some reports of bugs where the events would trigger but Jade would not learn the spell. It is highly recommended saving before starting this subquest, and if the event triggers but Jade does not learn his spell, reload and proceed further in the game's story before trying again.

NATALIA'S OUGI *

When Asch is in your party, go to Sheridan Port. You'll end up escorting an old man to Daht Port, and Natalia will learn Brave Feed. A long time later, after finishing your second visit to Zaleho Volcano, visit Daht Port again and Natalia will learn Healing Force. If you missed the Brave Feed event, you will also not be able to learn Healing Force.

TEAR'S PENDANT *

When you first arrive in Cassadonia, go to the southwest part of the northern area and talk to the man there. He's the one who Tear gave her pendant to in payment for the carriage ride earlier. After Cassadonia sinks, return to the same place and talk to him again. He'll say that he sold the pendant to somebody named Lize in Grand Cokuma. Now go to the shop in Grand Cokuma and talk to the merchant off to the right. You can buy Tear's Pendant back for 100,000 Gald. Though expensive, it's an extremely powerful accessory that raises Tear's magic attack.

Waitress Minigame

To play the Waitress Minigame, go to the second floor of Kethelburg's hotel and enter the right room. The objective is to memorize customer orders, order the correct items from the cook, and deliver them. There is no time limit, but customer orders are only displayed for a short duration, making it a memory challenge.

Playing this minigame three times when you first attempt it will earn you the Nariyuki Waitress title for Tear. This title causes a musical note to appear above your character's head when you are in a location where Mieu Wing can be used for an action.

After obtaining Tear's maid costume, speak to the restaurant owner again. The other waitress will challenge Tear to a competition. Playing six consecutive times, even without perfect scores, will reward you with the Fruits Mix recipe.

Battle Arena

The Battle Arena features single and team battles, each with beginner and advanced ranks. Beginner ranks and team advanced consist of three consecutive battles, while advanced single battles require five consecutive fights. Items cannot be used during matches, but cooking is permitted between arena bouts. To access advanced ranks, you must first beat the beginner rank.

Beating the Advanced Single rank for each character earns their arena title (Jade's is a costume title), their best weapon (in most cases), and 35000 Gald. For Luke, this involves sticking a Green FS Chamber on Eishourai and maxing it out as a primary healing method.
