About the Game:

Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny (known as Rune Factory: Oceans in Japan) is a Wii and PlayStation 3 role-playing game developed by Neverland Co. and published by Marvelous Entertainment. Players control a male and female character in one, the male side named Aden and the female side named Sonja, as they traverse the seas on a giant beast named Ymir. The beast can raise sunken islands and ships from the sea. Players will be able to farm, fight using a real-time battle system, and form relationships.


This game IS PS Move compatible, but it will mostly just make your arm very, very tired. It is NOT required.

Roadmap


Step 1: Complete the main story while working toward the relationship, fishing, crafting, and monster trophies

The story can be confusing at times, and the game offers little help on what to do. I have provided a spoiler-free breakdown of major game events:

  • Name your Characters, get a tour
  • Obtain Ymir
  • Restore Spring Island
  • Get Earth Temple Key, Defeat Earth Temple Boss
  • Give Elena Green Core to power-up Ymir
  • Get Fire Shrine Key, Defeat Fire Shrine Boss, get Red core
  • Event with Odette at the Dragon Shrine
  • Get Water Shrine Key, Defeat Boss, get Blue core
  • Get Wind Shrine Key, Defeat Boss
  • Find the Grimoire, Fix Ymir
  • Get Dragon's Souls (talk to the 3 inn sisters)
  • Seal Shrines, Final Boss

Any time there is a Yellow-Star request on the bulletin board, take it and do it (These are the main story quests)


Author's Note: TAKE YOUR TIME! Kill enemies, don't run past them. You do NOT have to finish a shrine in one game-day. Attend festivals, they are fun and you can get some awesome items if you win them. Upgrade your house, James is at the Market in Church plaza on Thursdays and Festival days, it makes crafting a lot easier and gives you a greater range of crafting abilities. Save items you pick up, put them in your in-house storage container. Even if they aren't in your inventory, you can still craft if they are in storage. You will need lots of early game items to complete end-game crafts (magic powders, cheap cloth, etc). Take advantage of Ymir's travel time, it can provide invaluable to passing time since there is no "wait" feature in this game.

Finally, don't forget you can make wishes at the Dragon Shrine. One useful wish improves drop rate. Another can warp you and Ymir to any island already above water (3000G).


Through the main story you will earn:
Golem Repairman, Water Temple Cleared, Fire Temple Cleared, Earth Temple Cleared, Legendary Golem Defeated, Masked Man Revealed, Rock Hard Riddle, Island Raiser, and most of the Monster and Salvaging Trophies


For detailed mechanics on farming, marriage, weapons, crafting, and making tons of cash visit Satoshi42's awesome Gameplay Guide


Step 2: Post-Game and Cleanup

After finishing the main story, you will most likely have these trophies left, if not more:

  • That Which Monsters Flee (Defeat 5000 Monsters)
  • Master Crafter (Craft 1500 items)
  • Master Angler (Land 2000 fish)
  • Germ Factory (Catch a cold 100 times)
  • Most Popular (Earn the goodwill of many residents of Fenith Island)



Not to worry though, you can't miss anything! The game goes on forever.


A Note on Farming (the more prosperity you have, the more you can grow):
Yellow Spirits give 2% prosperity to Spring Island
Green Spirits give 2% prosperity to Fall Island
Red Spirits give 2% prosperity to Summer Island
Blue Spirits give 2% prosperity to Winter Island

[PS3T Would Like to Thank Skyripper for this Roadmap]



Rune Factory Master
Earn all trophies. (1) 
Island Raiser
Use the Plant Golem to raise an island out of the sea. (1) 

See Master Salvager

Island Savior
Raise all of the islands out of the sea. (3) 

This actually is NOT every island. I do believe it is every story-related island. I still had a few left and got the trophy anyway.

Beginning Salvager
Successfully salvage 10 times.  

See Master Salvager

Veteran Salvager
Successfully salvage 20 times.  

See Master Salvager

Master Salvager
Successfully salvage 30 times.  

You will most likely get this by doing every non-repeatable request that comes your way. I got it right before post-game. If you just want to get it over with without doing requests (I don't really advise this), but if you are bored, why not.

Here's a map

  • RED Dots denote easy "Giant Monster" locations.
  • A-5 = Grimoire Hanging Gardens
  • B-3 = Desert Island
  • B-4 = Stone Head
  • B-4 = Coliseum
  • B-6 = Flame Spirit Shrine
  • B-7 = Temple
  • C-3 = Winter Island
  • C-3 = Temple
  • C-3 = Stone Head
  • C-5 = Stone Head
  • C-7 = Summer Island
  • D-2 = Temple
  • D-3 = Shipwreck Island
  • D-5 = Nowhere Island (basically just a "small treasure island")
  • D-6 = Nowhere Island
  • D-7 = Nowhere Island
  • E-2 = Wind Spirit Shrine
  • E-3 = Nowhere Island
  • E-4 = Ship-wreck
  • E-5 = Spring Island

  • E-8 = Nowhere Island
  • F-5 = Stone Head
  • F-6 = Shrine Island
  • F-6 = Ship Wreck
  • F-9 = Nowhere Island
  • G-2 = Frost Island
  • G-3 = Stone Head
  • G-4 = Fall Island
  • G-6 = Statue Island
  • G-7 = Stone Head
  • H-4 = Mystic Ruins
  • H-4 = Hanging Gardens
  • H-5 = Water Spirit Shrine
  • H-7 = Wreck
Rock Hard Riddle
Get to the bottom of why Sprout Island turned to stone.  

Sprout Island is "Spring Island" and you will get this automatically pretty early in the game.

You have to use a spirit to revive the island. You know, those floaty things that are around tree-stumps and what-not? Drop them from your inventory to restore the island.

Monster Battler
Defeat 100 monsters.  

See That Which Monsters Flee

Monster Masher
Defeat 500 monsters.  

See That Which Monsters Flee

Monster Destroyer
Defeat 1500 monsters.  

See That Which Monsters Flee

That Which Monsters Fear
Defeat 3000 monsters.  

See That Which Monsters Flee

That Which Monsters Flee
Defeat 5000 monsters. (1) 

By the end of the game, assuming you weren't lazy in temples and ran past enemies and have done most of the coliseum, you should have in the range of 3000-3500 monster kills. To finish this off, head to the third floor of the Earth Shrine. Take the right at the fork, grab your favorite sword, and whack away (make sure you don't accidentally destroy the monster spawners). There are 3 monster spawners, so you will easily be occupied by an infinite spawning of carnage. By the end of the game you should be able to kill these guys in one hit. I killed roughly 700 monsters per game day, so this trophy took about 20 minutes to finish

Giant Battler
Defeat 10 giant monsters.  

See Giant Destroyer

Giant Slayer
Defeat 20 giant monsters.  

See Giant Destroyer

Giant Destroyer
Defeat 30 giant monsters.  

For a map, check the Master Savager Trophy

These are the big monsters you find in the game while riding Ymir. A good rule of thumb is to stop what you're doing when riding Ymir if you hear Sonja say, "What was that", hit down on the D-Pad and there will be a monster there. Kill it, and before you know it, you will have this trophy. For more help, visit Satoshi42's Gameplay Guide.

pstevo123 says: "For Giant Giant Destroyer: when you find one and defeat it, leave the Golem there sleep the night then came back move a little and another Giant Monster will show.

Beginning Crafter
Successfully craft an item.  

See Master Crafter

Veteran Crafter
Successfully craft 300 items.  

See Master Crafter

Professional Crafter
Successfully craft 800 items.  

See Master Crafter

Master Crafter
Successfully craft 1500 items. (1) 

You will assuredly get this if you want money in this game. On the 11th of every month, items are 30% off. This means you can run to the inn, buy milk, take it to a pot, and craft "hot milk". You can then sell these "hot milks" via haggling back to Lily or Odette for roughly a 100G profit. Also, if you are making your own weapons (which you should) and accessories (which you should), you will have this simply raising your smithing and crafting skills to max.

Failed Chef
Fail at cooking one time.  

You will undoubtedly fail at cooking more than once... but just in case you are perfect, purposely fail at cooking until you get a "failed dish" (don't worry, you don't lose any material from a failed craft (just RP)

Insomniac
Stay awake until you collapse at 5AM.  

Pretty self-explanatory... Stay up until 5 AM, at which point you will fall asleep and the trophy will pop.

Most Popular
Earn the goodwill of many residents on Fenith Island. (9) 

To do this you need to get the following residents to relationship level 6.

  • Lily
  • Odette
  • Violet
  • Electra
  • Elena
  • Maerwen
  • Sierra
  • Pandora
  • Joe
  • Mikoto
  • James
  • Bismark
  • Beatrix
  • Bacchus
  • Quinn
  • Kelsey
  • Gerard
  • Jocelyn

This can be done POST-GAME, but I highly recommend working on this throughout the story as well. Getting Jocelyn up to 6 is the hardest since she is only around on Thursdays, Holidays, and Festivals. You get relationship points for talking to someone every day, giving them gifts every day, and doing requests for them. You can check everyone's favorite gifts in Satoshi42's Gameplay Guide. Finally, to check relationship progress, go to your menu by pressing "start" and click the villagers tab.

Beginning Angler
Successfully land a fish.  

See Master Angler

Veteran Angler
Successfully land 300 fish.  

See Master Angler

Professional Angler
Successfully land 1000 fish. (1) 

See Master Angler

Master Angler
Successfully land 2000 fish. (10) 

This is an incredibly boring trophy, but it can make you some easy money, especially if you have cooking equipment in your house. You receive a fishing pole early in the game from a request. You can upgrade it at the forge, which improves your chances of catching certain fish.

The best way to grind this out is to catch fish any time it is raining throughout the game. Not for the whole day or anything, but when you get a chance. Rain improves the chances of a fish popping up. You can use the fish you catch to make various grilled fish or shashimi (which can be sold or given as gifts to several residents).

For me, this was my last trophy.

Overmedicated
Consume 100 recovery drinks.  

Assuming you use recovery drinks throughout the game, you should get this no problem. If by chance you are done with every other trophy and still don't have this, have something wail on you and consume the remaining drinks (recovery drinks can either be made, or bought from the church).

Germ Factory
Catch a cold 100 times. (12) 

You have a chance of catching a cold any time you, stay out too late, pass out from exhaustion, or die. Most likely you will NOT get this through normal game progression. I found that it took passing out 193 times, to catch a cold 100 times.

If you need to grind this trophy get comfy in your house, use your weapon of choice over and over until you die. You will wake up with half health and half RP and a 50% chance of having a cold. If you get a cold, GREAT! Rinse and repeat, because the side-effect of having a cold is increased RP cost, so you can die faster!

A similar way, if you have a turbo controller, is to turbo square with the legendary staff. You will die about 3 times per minute, giving you time to catch some ZzZ's or a movie.

You can get a cold healed by making cold medicine, buying cold medicine, or getting an exam for 100 GP from the church.

Jumping for Joy
Perform a double-jump 500 times.  

A double jump is performed by pressing to jump, followed by again while in the air. I got this stupidly early in the game because I jump around a lot in games where I have to walk everywhere. It is also a great way to avoid melee enemies (especially if you use the Storm or Wind Staves).

Gladiator
Win a battle in the colloseum. (2) 

You will uncover the coliseum by doing a request for Jocelyn toward the end of the game. In it there will be several dragon statues with various bosses and free for all fights. I recommend bringing along some help (monsters you have captured) because these fights can be a little overwhelming. If you by chance have the "Legendary Staff" at this point, SPAM ! It makes these fights so easy you will want to die. After you defeat every dragon, this trophy will pop.

Trophies 101
Listen to Maerwen's explanation about trophies. (3) 

This trophy is potentially missable

After getting Maerwen's (the dark elf at the mansion) relationship up to 2, a random conversation with her may result in her asking if you know about trophies, reply no, listen to her blabber and the trophy will pop.

Some say you CANNOT get this trophy if you say "yes" to her, but others claim you can still get it to pop up in conversation after the fact. Also, the relationship does NOT have to be 2 exactly, 2 or above is fine.

 
Secret Trophies
 
Golem Repairman
Find out what's wrong with the Plant Golem and get him working again.  

After finding the Grimoire Ymir will break. Talk to Elena and she will tell you there is an evil inside of him. Go inside and destroy the mini-boss

Water Temple Cleared
Lift the stone curse from the Water Temple.  

See Earth Temple Cleared

Fire Temple Cleared
Lift the stone curse from the Fire Temple.  

See Earth Temple Cleared

Earth Temple Cleared
Lift the stone curse from the Earth Temple.  

The dragon will tell you to restore the temples. You do this by talking to Lily, Odette, and Violet respectively, and asking them to come with you to seal the shrine(s).

This happens right before fighting the legendary golem.

Legendary Golem Defeated
Defeat the Legendary Golem.  

This fight is really easy. You fight as Ymir and basically all you need to do is block until there is an opening. Warning, you cannot just randomly swing at this guy, he will most likely 1-shot kill you. Block until you learn his movements.

Masked Man Revealed
See the true face of the man in the mask.  

This really wasn't a surprise to me, but anyway, the masked man is the Final Boss of Rune Factory. He isn't hard and you get two free deaths when fighting him (due to the power of friendship??????). If you are having trouble with this fight, grab some enemy companions to distract him, and craft yourself a Legendary Staff. Use it's "powerful magic" component for complete ownage.

From Sarasaland: "In the final boss fight, you get as many lives as you have marriage candidates at FP6. And Sonja, plus the Goblin Pirate Captain. So if you have 10 people (I'm positive they have to be marriage candidates, though I could be wrong) at level 6, they'll all lend you their strength when you lose your HP, and the other two so you'd have 12 lives. VERRRRY useful."

Champion
Achieve repeat victories in the colloseum. (6) 

After fighting all the dragons and getting the Gladiator Trophy you can fight the dragon statues once again. This time it will be a hell of a lot harder, but kind of fun. Once you defeat a statue, it will crumble. Defeat all the statues again, and this trophy will pop.

If you are having trouble with this, refer to Satoshi42's Gameplay Guide since the last boss can be pretty challenging and frustrating.
