Introduction

Welcome to the Lost Soul Aside Trophy Guide! What started as solo developer project back in 2014 finally sees the light of day in 2025. Platinum requires finding all collectibles, beating Nightmare difficulty, and beating bosses on Nightmare without using items. A minimum of 3 playthroughs will be needed because Hard difficulty is only unlocked after the first playthrough, and Nightmare is unlocked after the Hard playthrough. The same Trinket collectibles also have new versions on Hard/Nightmare difficulties so you’ll want to collect those again.

Step 1: Complete the game while getting all Collectibles

For your first playthrough, you’ll want to get used to the mechanics of the game while finding all the collectibles you can get during your Normal difficulty playthrough.

During this playthrough you should collect all of the following:

• All 89 Documents to unlock Gethya’s Approval.
  • Some of these documents will unlock automatically while progressing through the story, but some of them you’ll need to pick up yourself.
• Locate all 9 Dispersed Dimensions
  • You don’t need to complete all their bonus objectives when you find them. You can always complete them later on when you have better equipment.
• Collect and craft all 11 Crafting Recipes
  • You’ll automatically start with 1. You’ll need to buy the other 10 from Claudian at the start of every main chapter.
• Purchase all 6 Arena Powers available on Normal
  • On Normal Difficulty, you’ll only be able to purchase a total of 6 of the Arena Powers from Claudian. The rest will come from other means, such as the main story or rewards from Dispersed Dimensions/Boss Rush modes.
• Collect the 41 Trinkets in Normal difficulty
  • This is excluding Trinkets rewarded for completing bonuses in the Dispersed Dimensions, as that can be done later on. Some will be awarded automatically during the story, but most will need to either be found or bought. These Trinkets are unique to Normal mode, so make sure you collect them as collecting them on higher difficulties will result in a different Trinket.

Follow Lost Soul Aside Collectible Guide to get everything.

Step 2: Dispersed Dimensions Cleanup + Normal Boss Rush

After finishing the game on Normal difficulty, you can load your clear save data and it will put you back at the Imperial City and you have access to the new Boss Rush mode.

Now that you have better equipment, you can clear the Dispersed Dimension challenges to get the Trinkets and Arena Powers that are locked behind them. This will also unlock Dispersed Dimension Master. Make sure you complete all 3 challenges for each Dispersed Dimension, not just the challenge that rewards you with the Trinket/Arena Power.

Afterward, you can clear all 8 Boss Rush challenges, making sure to complete them all within the time limit to complete the challenges for Ultimate Gifted One. This will also reward you with more Arena Powers, of which you should only be missing 2 at this point: 1 Mountain Break and 1 Cage of Despair, which will be gotten later.

Step 3: Complete the game on Hard difficulty

With everything on Normal completed and collected, you can talk to Liana and go to the Stage Selector menu. Press to change the difficulty to Hard and start from the Prologue. You’ll need to complete the game from start to finish to unlock Best-Selling Author Liana!, and also to unlock Nightmare difficulty. All your skills, equipment, and trophy progress will carry over, so it’s also a great time to collect anything you might have missed.

During this playthrough you should collect everything below:

• Any documents you missed to unlock Gethya’s Approval.
  • Progress towards the documents carries over, so you don’t need to recollect any you’ve already collected.
• Any of the Dispersed Dimensions you missed
• Purchase all unique items from the shops
  • This includes all of the Lifeforce Shards as well. Once you’ve bought all the Trinkets, Arena Powers, Crafting Recipes, and Lifeforce Shards you should unlock Shopaholic. You’ll also be able to buy the last 2 Arena Powers from Claudian, which are unique to Hard Mode.
• Recollect all the trinkets again
  • On Hard Mode, the trinkets have a better version of them when found again, so make sure to recollect them all.
• Use your Sharp Alloys
  • Defeating bosses that would have given you a new weapon on Normal will now give you Sharp Alloys on Hard. You can use these to upgrade your weapons to Tier 2 at Liana’s Workshop.

Step 4: Complete Hard Boss Rush

After completing the game on Hard difficulty you’ll unlock the ability to do the Boss Rush mode on Hard. It’s the exact same as the Normal Boss Rush mode, but the bosses are the Hard Mode versions. Make sure you complete all 8 of them within the time limit to unlock Surpassing Seleria. This will also reward you with more Trinkets.

Step 5: Complete the game on Nightmare difficulty

With everything on Hard completed, you can talk to Liana and go to the Stage Selector menu. You can press to change the difficulty to Nightmare and start from the Prologue. Just like before, you need to complete the entire game on Nightmare from the start to unlock Ultimate Legend.

During this playthrough, you should collect and do everything below:

• Recollect all the trinkets again
  • On Nightmare Mode, the trinkets have a better version of them when found again, so make sure to recollect them all.
• Use your Sharp Crystals
  • Just like on Hard, defeating bosses that would have normally given you a weapon will give you Sharp Crystals instead, which can be used to get your weapons to Tier 3. Once you’ve done this for all weapons, you’ll unlock Arsenal.
• Defeat Victor without using any items to unlock Sanctified Sword.
  • Victor is encountered during Chapter 2 – Beside SkyMirror Lake. For more information on tactics, refer to  Sanctified Sword.
• Defeat Zana without using any items to unlock Hot Dance in Hot Spring.
  • Zana is encountered during Chapter 3 – Neverwind Monastery. For more information on tactics, refer to  Hot Dance in Hot Spring
• Defeat Aramon without using any items to unlock Cleaving the Cycle.
  • Aramon is encountered during Chapter 5 – Clash of Fates. For more information on tactics, refer to  Cleaving the Cycle.

(Optional) Step 6: Trophy Cleanup

With all 3 difficulties completed, you can now freely use chapter select across all 3 difficulties to get anything you might have missed along the way.

	Ultimate Gifted One Complete all Boss Rush challenges on Normal difficulty.
Boss Rush unlocks after completing the game for the first time. You can talk to Liana and go to the Dispersed Dimension tab and press to change over to Boss Rush. There are a total of 8 Boss Rush modes, most of them requiring you to fight 3 bosses back to back, with the exception of the last 2 which will only require you to fight 2 bosses. You cannot use items during this challenge, so bringing Arena Powers like Lifeforce Bestower and Phantom Shield is highly recommended to increase your survivability. To unlock the trophy, you’ll need to complete all 3 of the challenges on each of the 8 Boss Rushes. For the first 8 you have to complete them in under 12 minutes to complete all the challenges, with the exception of the last one which requires you to beat it in under 15 minutes. These times are extremely forgiving as chances are you’ll complete most of them in under half that time.
	Surpassing Seleria Complete all Boss Rush challenges on Hard difficulty.
Boss Rush Hard Difficulty unlocks after completing the game on Hard. You can talk to Liana and go to the Dispersed Dimension tab and press to change over to Boss Rush, then to change to Hard difficulty.

The requirements are all the same and the strategies that worked on Normal difficulty will also work here.

	Sanctified Sword Defeat Victor on Nightmare difficulty without using any items.
Victor is encountered during Chapter 2 – Beside SkyMirror Lake. In order to earn the trophy, you can’t use a single item during his boss fight. So nothing that is located on the D-Pad. You can’t unbind anything from the D-Pad, so just make sure you don’t accidentally press it during the fight or you’ll need to reset. With not being able to heal with items during the fight, you’ll need to mostly focus on increasing your survivability instead. Below is a setup you can use that will help you stay alive for the fight that can also be used for mostly the entire game. The weapon you use is up to your personal preference, but the Sword and the Scythe have good abilities that make dealing with bosses a bit easier, so those are the ones that’d be recommended. Weapon 1 (Main DPS. Scythe is recommended) Butterfly Wings to max Butterfly. This will restore 20 health per attack against enemies with status ailments, so make sure the weapon you choose has an ailment. Crescent Dragon to max Outrage. This will increase attack by 12% Crown of Thorns to max Crown. This will increase attack against defense-broken enemies by 15% For the side stats of all your accessories, you’ll want them to increase break percentage. The scythe is recommended for this specifically since it can deal break damage extremely quickly, and it has the ability to damage while dodging. Combined with the extremely good Phantom Reap skill when using all 3 Unbound Energy, it can really melt bosses quickly, especially combined with using the Fusion Mergeto get 3 Unbound Energy with just 1 perfect dodge. Weapon 2 (For healing. Sword is recommended) Butterfly Wings to max Butterfly. This will restore 20 health per attack against enemies with status ailments, so make sure the weapon you choose has an ailment. Rose to max Scarlet. This will restore 60 health every time you hit a critical, with a 0.5 second cooldown. Demon Head to max Reaper. This will increase your critical rate by 12%. For the side stats of all your accessories, you’ll want them to increase your critical percentage. The sword is recommended for this specifically because of the Sanguine Feast ability which will restore some health with each hit of the Cross Slash attack. Combined with the other 2 methods of healing with the weapon it should be quite useful. Another reason it’s recommended is because of the Water Form ability to quickly build Unbound Energy that you can then use on your DPS weapon. Arena Powers Phantom Shield is a must as it will negate a total of 4 attacks (if it’s fully upgraded, which it should be by now) and it will last 60 seconds if you don’t deplete them all in time. This is super useful for just saving yourself a few hits. Lifeforce Bestower is also a must as it will be your only way to guarantee heal during the fight without having to attack the boss. Because you have to stand in the area of effect in order to get the heals, it’s best to use this when the boss isn’t attacking you, like when they’re stunned or just coming out of a stun so you can stand still in it for as long as possible to get the heals. The last one is completely personal preference as it’s just whichever one you like to deal damage with. Mountain Break is a good one, but you can use whichever damaging Arena Power you prefer. Trinkets Ring of Nature is extremely useful for this setup as it accumulates status ailments quicker so the Butterfly skills on your weapons will get your health faster, but it also will increase break by 10% on enemies afflicted with a status ailment which means you can deal more damage quicker. Ring of Supremacy is also useful as it speeds up the recharge rate of everything and increase you max health. This will make your Arena Powers and Fusion Merge more useful as they’ll recharge a lot quicker so you can use them more frequently during your fights. The last trinket is up to your personal preference depending on what you’re lacking in. If you’re lacking in damage. Try equipping the Emblem of whichever weapon your main DPS is. Or the Ring of Fury to increase break damage. If you’re lacking in healing, try equipping the Pendant of Buckhorn to regain health with every perfect dodge. Experiment with what you need for your setup and whatever works for you. I personally went with the Ring of Fury.
	Hot Dance in Hot Spring Defeat Zana on Nightmare difficulty without using any items.
Zana is encountered during Chapter 3 – Neverwind Monastery. In order to earn the trophy, you can’t use a single item during his boss fight. So nothing that is located on the D-Pad. You can’t unbind anything from the D-Pad, so just make sure you don’t accidentally press it during the fight or you’ll need to reset. To see a good setup for defeating the boss without items, refer to Sanctified Sword.
	Cleaving the Cycle Defeat Aramon on Nightmare difficulty without using any items.
Aramon is encountered during Chapter 5 – Clash of Fates. In order to earn the trophy, you can’t use a single item during his boss fight. So nothing that is located on the D-Pad. You can’t unbind anything from the D-Pad, so just make sure you don’t accidentally press it during the fight or you’ll need to reset.
