Bromides Guide - Lunar 1 & 2 Remastered

Bromides are the most missable achievement for this game, follow this guide to get them all for both Lunar 1 and 2!

Intro

bro·mide /ˈbrōˌmīd/

• noun a trite and unoriginal idea or remark, typically intended to soothe or placate.

Most of the achievements for Lunar Remastered Collection can be earned naturally by playing through the game, however the bromides are highly missable. I have compiled this guide referenced from other sites' guides to assist players in finding all the bromides in both games.

Bromides: Lunar 1 - Silver Star Story

In both Lunar games, one of the more infamous collectibles are the bromides—a picture that can only be obtained by talking to specific characters at just the right time. They’re easy to miss, and while the games themselves are fairly straightforward, missing even one bromide can force a replay if you're aiming for full achievement completion. The original game is especially strict with its timing for these events, while the sequel offers a bit more leeway in when you can obtain them.

Please note that there will be minor spoilers, as many of these collectibles are tied to specific story beats or events. This guide is for the Remastered version only.

Note: Bromides are sorted in chronological order (order you obtain them in the game) rather than it's naming order.

Multiple Save Files!

While you are hunting down all of the bromides, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND saving often and saving to multiple different save files in case you accidentally miss one! If you do not have a backup save file from before the bromide collection time window, you will have to restart the game. That will make you sad, and that will make me sad too. Take advantage of all of your save slots!!!

PSX/Classic Version

In order to avoid confusion, I have removed instructions to obtain the bromides in the Classic version of the game. Therefore, this guide will assume you are playing the Remastered version. If you are playing the Classic version, please refer to one of the many other guides that are out there for that version as the method for obtaining the bromides IS different.

Ramus' Shop (REQUIRED!)

Instructions:
This step is required to obtain the last few bromides in the game. It takes place early on—you’ll need to visit the weapon shop in Burg and speak to the man on the second floor while Ramus is still in your party. Lend Ramus 30 silver.

⚠️IMPORTANT: The Remastered version streamlined bromide collection by having Ramus sell many of the bromides through his store. Therefore, if you are following a guide for the Classic version and you are playing the Remastered version, you might do some unnecessary steps as well as miss some of the bromides.

What is VERY important is making sure you lend Ramus 30 silver at the beginning of the game, because you cannot fall back on the Classic version methods of obtaining the bromides, as those methods were removed in favor of selling them in Ramus' shop.

If you missed out on lending Ramus 30 silver before going to the White Dragon Cave, you can still do so after the cave, but make sure you do it ⚠️BEFORE departing to Meribia from Saith. Ramus will leave your party after completing the Meribian Sewers, at which point it is too late to lend him the silver. You will not be able to return to Burg after sailing to Meribia until later in the game (long after the Sewers).

Mia's Bromide 1 - (1/13)

Instructions:
This one is a freebie; it's in Nash's inventory.

Note - I suggest taking the bromide from Nash's inventory before he leaves the party. However, if you didn't grab it before he left, WonkoTheSane87 confirmed that Nash will still have the bromide when he rejoins the party later in the game.

Note: Nash leaves the party at Myght's Tower

Luna's Bromide 2 - (2/13)

Instructions:
Right after bringing Ghaleon to meet Quark, head to the basement of Alex’s house. Check the shelves there to find a bromide of Luna.

⚠️WARNING: Make sure to collect this bromide before Jessica rejoins the party. If you wait too long, the event can be missed, and you won't be able to return to collect it.

Specifically, after bringing Ghaleon to meet Quark and before returning to Meribia, head to the basement of Alex's house and check the shelves to find the bromide.

Jessica's Bromide 4 - (3/13)

Instructions:
Right after watching Kyle fend off Xenobia’s monsters, ⚠️do not speak to him. Instead, head to the basement of Nanza and examine Kyle’s bed—the one with the black and red bedsheets. If you recruit Kyle before getting this bromide, you will not be able to obtain it.

Jessica's Bromide 1 - (4/13)

Instructions:
Once Kyle joins your party, head to Althena's Shrine near Vane. In the altar room at the far back, speak to the girl on the right who believes she’s Jessica’s sister to receive the bromide. You will need to talk to her twice to get the bromide.

Rememberizer

You can obtain the Rememberizer from Ramus for free in Meribia after Kyle joins your party and before proceeding to the Frontier. If you miss out on getting it from him at this point, you can still buy it during the epilogue, but it will cost 65,000 silver.

NOTE: You cannot use the Rememberizer to obtain any bromides in Lunar 1. I added this note just in case you don't want to miss out on obtaining it (though if you are going for all of the bromides, you won't miss it!).

Phacia's Bromide - (5/13), Royce's Bromide - (6/13), Xenobia's Bromide - (7/13)

These 3 bromides are sold in Ramus' Store after Kyle joins the party.

Mia's Bromide 4 - (8/13)

Instructions:
Right after Nash leaves the party at Myght's Tower, travel to Iluk and visit the purple house in the northeast corner. Speak to the man inside to receive the bromide.

Jessica's Bromide 2 - (9/13) & Mia's Bromide 2 - (10/13)

Instructions:
Both of these bromides are sold in Ramus' Store after Althena Fortress appears.

⚠️IMPORTANT NOTE: These bromides are only available when Alex is alone upon waking in the epilogue. Visit Ramus' shop immediately after waking, before interacting with any other characters.

Luna's Bromide 1 - (11/13)

Instructions:
Talk to Ramus at his store during the Epilogue.

Jessia's Bromide 3 - (12/13) & Mia's Bromide 3 - (13/13)

Instructions:
If you remembered to help Ramus early in the game by covering the 30 silver he owed, then during the epilogue he will return the favor by selling the final bromides in his store.

Bromides: Lunar 2 - Eternal Blue

In Lunar 2, bromides are collectible images featuring various characters. While they don't impact gameplay, collecting all of them is essential for full achievement completion in the Remastered Collection. Unlike the first game, Lunar 2 offers a more forgiving window to obtain these items.​

Please note that there will be minor spoilers, as many of these collectibles are tied to specific story beats or events. This guide is for the Remastered version only.

About the Epilogue

• When you save your file during the ending, loading it will now bring you to the Epilogue, which acts as a post-game story that eventually leads to the true ending.
  
• This section allows you to freely explore the world in any order you choose.
  
• There are several optional dungeons that reward you with the strongest equipment in the game, along with a chance to collect many of the remaining bromides during this segment.

Note: You now have access to Lucia's Pendant. This item functions similarly to the White Dragon Wings in Silver Star Story, allowing you to teleport to any town or location you've previously visited. However, it does have limitations—it cannot be used inside buildings, so you'll need to step outside before activating it.

Rememberizer

• This is a side quest that rewards you with the Rememberizer, an item that allows you to view all the anime cutscenes in the game. It allows you to re-watch key cutscenes, which in turn unlocks certain bromides that you may have missed due to event flags.
  
• To begin the quest, head to Nota and go to the bridge, then enter the building to the east and speak with Julia.
  
• Choose the second dialogue option when prompted.
  
• Afterwards, make your way to the pub on the west side of Nota and find Kyle sitting in the far left corner.
  
• Talk to him, select the second option again, and continue the conversation until he leaves.
  
• Once that's done, return to the bridge for an event.

Note About the Rememberizer: Unlike Silver Star Story, in Eternal Blue, the Rememberizer doesn't automatically unlock cutscenes as you view them throughout the game. Instead, to make the anime cutscenes playable through the Rememberizer, you’ll need to revisit the locations where the events originally triggered. When you find the right spot, a dialogue box will pop up, confirming that a scene has been unlocked.

Bromide X

Following multiple sources, Bromide X is no longer present in the Remastered version. It is also not required for the achievement.

Congratulations on collecting all of the bromides!

Walkthrough: Lunar 1 - Silver Star Story

This classic RPG is rather straightforward by modern standards—progress hinges on talking to the right NPCs and heading to story destinations, though unlike contemporary games, it won’t hold your hand with objective markers (that’s where this guide will help).

For Boss Combat, MP management is the key to success. If you enter boss fights with a good amount of MP, you’ll rarely struggle. For achievement hunters, beware two notorious challenges: "open every red chest" achievement, and a collection of Bromides (missable items granted by talking to NPCs or examining objects at specific moments).

⚠️Be warned, this game lacks any auto-save feature. Make a habit of saving manually at every opportunity, and always keep multiple backup saves. If you encounter a Game Over, you’ll revert to your last save.

Note: This guide is for the Remastered version. If you are playing the Classic version, please refer to a guide for that version specifically as some things are different such as boss scaling and bromide collection methods.

Burg, White Dragon Cave, Weird Woods, Saith

Burg

• Objective
  
  • After regaining control, leave to the NE and head to the springs to see a movie scene.
    
  • Head to the house located northwest of town. Talk to Alex's father to receive a Dagger, Sling, and Flame Ring.
    
  • Head to the basement and grab all the treasures.
    
  • Talk to Ramus by the town entrance on the west side.
    
  • Leave town and take the northeast path, and it will lead to a cave.
• Tip 1: Unlike most RPGs, Lunar doesn't feature traditional inns for healing. Instead, you can fully restore your party's HP and MP by examining the statue of Athena found in towns.
  
• Tip 2: You'll notice a distinctive red chest in Ramus' house (the big one in the center) early on—but don't waste time trying to open it yet! These treasures require a key you won't obtain until much later.
  
• Treasure and Items: Dagger, Sling, Flame Ring, Dragonfly Wing, Herb, Star Light, Angel's Tear, Garbage Can Lid (Red Chest)

White Dragon Cave

• Objective
  
  • Head to the center part of the cave to find the dragon.
    
  • Proceed to the left room where you'll encounter ice pillars blocking your path. To clear the way, lure the gorilla-type enemies into charging at the pillars - their attacks will shatter the ice. Continue deeper into the chamber until you reach the final treasure containing the Dragon Ring.
    
  • Show the ring to the dragon.
    
  • You can leave by looking for the exit or use the Dragonfly Wing to warp out instantly.
    
  • Treasure: Herb x4, Star Light, Dragon Ring, 500 Silver, Dragon Diamond (Story Item)
    
  • Return to Burg and examine the Athena statue.
    
  • Head to the general store and talk to the shopkeeper.
    
  • Return to the path to Alex's house, Ramus will start a conversation.
    
  • ⚠️Before going anywhere else, head to the weapon shop. Then talk to the guy upstairs to help Ramus. Doing this is required to get some of the bromides at the end of the game. Collecting all of the bromides is needed to complete all the achievements.
• Then leave town and head to the forest to the west.
  
• Tip 1: There is an achievement for winning a battle without a weapon equipped. Once you have acquired this, equip the weapons Alex's father gave you.
  

  
  Bare-Handed Bravery - [L1] Fought enemies with no weapons

• Tip 2: Use AI battle to acquire another achievement. Then press the trigger buttons to adjust the battle speed for another achievement.
  

  
  The AI Awakens... - [L1 or L2] Used the AI Battle Commands for the first time

  
  Can You Keep Up? - [L1 or L2] Changed the battle speed for the first time

• Tip 3: When a party member falls in battle, there's a small chance Nall will swoop in to revive them. This not only saves you in a pinch but also unlocks a trophy when it occurs.
  
• Trivia: Ramus does not gain any other stats but HP whenever he levels up.
  

  ⚠️Important Bromide Step!: Make sure to talk to the man upstairs in the weapon shop and pay him back the money Ramus owes him. This is required to get some bromides for later.

• About Bromides: Bromides are usually found by talking to specific NPCs or examining objects at a specific time; they're easily missable.

Weird Woods

• Objective
  
  • Navigate through the forest until Ramus leaves.
    
  • Return to Burg and then head to the path to Alex's house for an event.
    
  • Talk to Luna inside Alex's house.
    
  • Talk to Alex's parents, Alex's mom will give you 1000 silver.
    
  • Talk to Luna again.
    
  • Talk to Alex's parents to end the night.
    
  • Talk to Ramus near the west exit, then leave Burg to the Weird Woods.
    
  • Navigate through the woods until you're surrounded by monsters.
    
  • When the mysterious stranger offers assistance, be sure to accept his help. Refusing will trigger an extremely difficult battle that doesn't advance the story - Even if you win without his assistance, you will be forced to beg for his help again (This loops three times before it ends).
    
  • Exit out to the world's map, head south until you find the town of Saith.
• Treasure: Antidote x6, Herb x4, Wrath Ring (Red Chest, hidden to the NE near the exit)

Reminder: You cannot get the Red Chests yet. They are just listed here for reference.

Saith

• Objective
  
  • Head to the pier and talk to the shopkeeper. Afterwards, talk to the people in and around the building. They will mention that Brett has the Sea Chart, and the captain lost it in wager.
    
  • Go to the Pub and talk to Brett in the back corner. Bet several rounds with him.
    
  • If the scene with Brett doesn't take place, talk around with NPCs around the pier again, and return.
    
  • After the event, talk to Brett again to get the Fortune Cane.
    
  • Leave town and go to the northwest path to the Old Hag's Forest.
    
  • Try to grind and save up at least 2000 to 3000 Silver.

  • Agree to slay the monster for him to engage in a boss fight.
    
  • After defeating the boss, talk to Luna.
    
  • While inside the ship, use the 2000 to 3000 Silver to buy 2 to 3 bars of soap. You will need them to unlock a cutscene for later. You can also get by with 2000 Silver, as there is an event that will give you a bar of soap and a red chest later in the game that contains another bar of soap.
    
  • Talk to Ramus and Nash on the ship.
    
  • If you talk to Luna twice, it will advance the story.
    
  • Head to the deck to view another event.

• Treasure: Herb x3, Monster Chest x4, Star Light, 800 Silver, Silver Light (Red Chest in Hag's House)
  
• Boss Tip 1: Buffing characters is key to victory and can be applied twice before diminishing returns set in. If Luna is at level 9, she gains access to Cascade Song, which boosts a party member’s attack. Using it on Alex can make his Sword Dance deal massive damage.
  
• Boss Tip 2: Bosses have different starting animations for their attacks. You can use this gimmick to anticipate some of their attacks.
  
• Bromide (1/13): Mia's Bromide 1 - Automatically when the 4th party member joins. It's equipped to his accessory slot.

Meribia

• Objective
  
  • Head to the main castle and talk to Master Mel for an event, and then a one-on-one battle.
    
    • Winning or losing is entirely optional and will not affect the story.
  • Make sure you buy the best available gear. There are several weapon and armor shops, but the ones in the main city sell the latest equipment.
    
  • Exit out of the west part of town. Then look for the fortune teller's house at the very left end of Meriba.
    
  • Head back to the main city. Then look for the shop next to the armor shop. Ramus is trying to sell the Dragon Diamond here.
    
  • Agree to the offer, then head to the backroom to the sewers.
• Treasure: 2000 Silver (Red Chest)

Meribian Sewers

• Objective
  
  • Purchase a Dragonfly Wing from the General Store.
    
  • Navigate through the dungeon, you can lower bridges by examining the blue switch on the walls.
    
    • Note: Two treasure chests, as well as the Red Chest, that you see near the end of the dungeon can be reached through Mel's Castle.
  • When you reach the basement level, you'll see the Thief. Speaking with him will start a boss fight. Make sure you're ready before talking to him.
    

    ⚠️Before you move another step, take off the stuff you have equipped on Ramus. Or at least, make sure he doesn't have anything important on him.

  • After the boss fight, exit the dungeon using a Dragonfly Wing.
    
  • Talk to Dross.

  • Navigate through the Cave of Trial. This dungeon has prohibited items, so be careful when navigating through. The examiners at the end of each floor will offer a full heal to your party once.
    
  • There is a boss waiting at the end, since items are prohibited, make sure you have a decent amount of MP to win.
    
  • Treasure: 500 Silver x3, Healing Ring, Soap (Red Chest)
• Note: This dungeon has a dinosaur-like enemy called Chiro - Lunar's equivalent of the 'Metal Slime' from Dragon Quest. These elusive foes will typically flee from battle immediately, but if you're quick enough to defeat one, you'll be rewarded with massive silver and EXP gains. As a bonus, taking down a Chiro for the first time also unlocks an achievement. This achievement can also be earned in Lunar Eternal Blue if you missed it here in Silver Star Story.

    • Even though Bromides are expensive, they should be bought immediately when available. Ramus will eventually stop carrying these Bromides after a certain point in the game, meaning if you miss your chance, you won't be able to obtain them later.

  • At the end of each floor, Damon will ask you a series of questions. Usually, your friends will answer them for you.
    
  • The last one requires picking the right choices to advance the story. Even if you pick the wrong one, the game will just force you to pick the right one before the story can go forward.

  • Leave the tower, you can use Jessica's Escape Litany to warp out.

It is recommended that you come here a little bit stronger. If you manage to get through, you can view two cutscenes if you have two bars of soap.
  
• Head north until you find the village of Lyton.

Walkthrough: Lunar 2 - Eternal Blue

This classic RPG is rather straightforward by modern standards—progress hinges on talking to the right NPCs and heading to story destinations, though unlike contemporary games, it won’t hold your hand with objective markers (that’s where this guide will help).

The bosses in Eternal Blue are significantly tougher than those in its predecessor. If you're having trouble, grinding a few levels is a viable strategy, as boss fights in this game do not use level scaling. For trophy hunters, Lunar Eternal Blue is a little bit easier to obtain all the trophies, as there is only one missable trophy, which is collecting all the bromides. Unlike the original game, there is a larger time window to get them.

⚠️Be warned, this game lacks an auto-save feature. Make a habit of saving manually at every opportunity, and always keep multiple backup saves. If you encounter a Game Over, you’ll revert to your last save.

Note: This guide is for the Remastered version. If you are playing the Classic version, please refer to a guide for that version specifically as some things are different such as boss scaling and bromide collection methods.

**I will update this walkthrough after finishing the Lunar 1 walkthrough**

[MrLiangGamer]

Oh dear! Some bromides are changed. I try to talk to lady at very north in Althena's Shrine several time but she haven't give me the Phacia's bromide. So, in Remastered version. All 3 vile tribe bromide are sell in Ramus shop. Oh my gosh!

[KnightExcalibur]

Oh, he will have it! I had read multiple sources saying he wouldn't, but I guess those were wrong. Thank you @WonkoTheSane87 for confirming that, I will update the guide and credit you for the find!

[WonkoTheSane87]

Alright, I can report that in the remaster Nash *will* still have the Bromide in his inventory if you don't remove it when he leaves and then rejoins you

[WonkoTheSane87]

Is it confirmed Nash will not have the Bromide when he returns to the party? I'm seeing conflicting information elsewhere...Guess I'll find out...can you believe I saved two seconds after he left the party?

[Hanzo]

MCD. This is guide for Bromide. You can try to get someone's save to trigger that achievement

[KnightExcalibur]

To be fair, this is a bromides guide and not a full achievements guide, which is what the soaps would fall under. However, I was thinking about building this guide out into a 100% achievements guide anyway. Stay tuned!

[MCD]

Please add a note about buying soap

I missed that and now I have to play the first game all over again for full achievements.

Thank you

[KnightExcalibur]

Guide updated! I have addressed the following:
- Confirmed bromide collection order in the guide follows the order you collect them in the game.
- You need to lend Ramus 30 silver before departing for Meribia.
- Removed PSX/Classic instructions for clarity, focusing solely on the Remastered version.
- Confirmed Bromide X was removed in the Remastered version.
- Added some images to make it a little more fun!

[KnightExcalibur]

I will also look into Bromide X for the remaster

[KnightExcalibur]

Thank you everyone for your feedback! I'm sorry to those who missed out on bromides because of the original order in the guide:( I'll be updating the guide regularly to apply fixes and add new info!
