Trophy Icon for L’Cie Paragon
L’Cie Paragon
Earned a 5-star rating for all Cie’th Stone missions.

Obtaining this achievement / trophy sounds a lot more difficult than it actually is. It actually becomes much easier to complete after you have defeated Vercingetorix for Mission 64 - The Doomherald, which is the very last mission.

The reward you receive from completing the last Mission is called the Gold Watch. This powerful accessory increases the amount of time you have to defeat a set of enemies while achieving a 5-star ranking. It makes achieving a 5-star ranking much easier for almost all of the Missions while some of the more challenging ones may require a few attempts.

Start by completing Mission 64, then equip the Gold Watch to one of your characters, and slowly work your way through each of the missions again. Don’t be afraid to restart the battle if things aren’t going smoothly.

Dealt 100,000+ damage with a single attack.

Master’s Seal
Fully developed all characters.

This achievement / trophy is earned once you have unlocked all of the nodes of all of your character’s Crystariums. This will require a very large amount of Crystogen Points (CP).

The easiest way to do this is to complete some farming while having a Growth Egg equipped. Check out the Early Growth Egg page for tips on how to obtain one as quickly as possible and then refer to the farming section for tips on stacking up CP.

Superstar
Earned a 5-star rating in the battle to determine the world’s fate.

Obtaining this achievement / trophy, similar to L’Cie Paragon, is much easier to complete after you have defeated Vercingetorix for Mission 64 - The Doomherald, which is the very last mission.

The reward you receive from completing the last Mission is called the Gold Watch. This powerful accessory increases the amount of time you have to defeat a set of enemies while achieving a 5-star ranking. It makes achieving a 5-star ranking much easier for almost all of the Missions while some of the more challenging ones may require a few attempts.

Start by completing Mission 64, then equip the Gold Watch to one of your characters, and then head back to Orphan’s Cradle to challenge Orphan to another battle. You can actually fight the final bosses in this game that appear at the end of Chapter 13 as many times as you would like, so if you’re unsuccessful, just give it another go!
