Towa Bonding Achiev (spoilers)

[SureShot]

So I chose every bonding moment for Towa, including the one in Chapter 5. Does anyone know if you still have to use tickets for her in the festival in order to acquire the necessary link exp? I ask that because it feels like even if you do every bonding moment, you won't reach 2000 exp in one playthrough UNLESS you use at least 2 tickets in the festival with her too.

It really doesn't help when the game won't show you her link exp, so I'm assuming you start at 0 exp with her and each bonding moment is 500 exp (100 for study), 600 for ch 5?. That would only total 1700 exp. I'm using one of the guides online about this.

Towa needs 2000 or higher. Spending tickets can help there, as does inviting her to ride on the bike with you when you go to get the concert outfits.

If you use a ticket to play Mishy panic with a female character and get 180 points or more then you give them the prize and the XP is a little higher.

Good luck!

You can't invite her to the bike event.

My mistake. I was reading from a FAQ and misread it there, but that DOES help with other characters.

Anyone know if this is correct?

Ch 1 Bonding - 500 exp
Study Event Towa - 100 exp
Ch 3 Bonding - 500 exp
Ch 5 Bonding - 600 exp (triggers special scene)
Mishy Festival Ticket - 350 exp

Total is 2050 exp.

I've read somewhere you need to use 2 tickets for her, but the math seems like it only requires one as long as you do the Ch 5 event unless I'm making an incorrect assumption somewhere.

[Oguzhan]

Wait......I was sure you could invite her to the bike event......
Btw do you get an option to keep your link points for new game plus. Cause for this game I am going to do that so that getting the NPC notes would be easier.

[SureShot]

Yeah, you can save link exp or you can choose and unlimited bonding points for the next game.

Not both though.

[SureShot]

Welp, turns out you do need to use 2 tickets for Towa no matter what. Guess that Ch. 5 bonding event is still 500 exp.

Actually, unless they changed it, you can do both. Carrying over Link Levels/Rush/Burst is listed as costing 0 NG+ points in this faq: https://www.gamefaqs.com/ps3/694913-the-legend-of-heroes-trails-of-cold-steel/faqs/72747?page=5#New%20Game%20+

Activating max bond points costs 4 points out of 5, meaning that you can't get any of the 2-point items and can only get 1 of the 1-point items. But the current bond levels was a freebie.

[SureShot]

Good to know -- guessing the biggest issue is carrying over your master quartz and notebook data since you need those to get the final ones for achievements (unless the game doesn't care if you hold all quartz or notebook entries in your inventory at once as long as you get them eventually?). I know I'm missing like 2 character entries and like 300 victories.

Most people probably won't need max bonding points on playthrough 2 unless they really screwed up; just have to focus on those that are left. Annoying that we have to do 40 quests still though.

[mendaere]

You don't need to carry over notebook data and can't if you want both max bonding points and to fill in all remaining achievs in your 2nd run. Assuming you carry over MQs/items (which I think you need to do for the Rean QUARTZer achiev) and take max bonding points you can fully fill in the notebook from scratch in your second playthrough.

For your first playthrough, focus on trying to get the link/rush/burst attack and arts cancel achievs, these will be more of a nuisance on subsequent playthroughs if you carry over (and actually use) your end game equipment, as you'll tend to OHKO everything in sight for the first several chapters.

Another little piece of advice, if you aren't going to carry over levels on your first playthrough then activate the DLC items to get your 5 free pom baits but don't actually use them. This means you'll have a double helping (10) available for use in your second run (since the DLC packs reset), which will make it much easier to get Rean to lv 80 for the best carry over into CS2.

[Tiasmoon]

Level 80 is so not worth it imo.

[SureShot]

Apparently getting to level 80 isn't bad at all if you farm the ghosts on floor 7, but I haven't gotten around to it yet as I have to do it at the end of playthrough 2. I guess you only really have to level to 70 if you use 2 sets of pom baits which will get you to 80 easily.

One thing also about the notebook is getting 1000 battles -- would be easier to do it at the end of the second playthrough so you don't have to do it all at once.
