A guide that tries to document various odds and ends specific to the Gaiden DLC, including its achievements. Preface I would like to acknowledge 南云归风's equipment guide as a cross-check source for many of the equipment entries: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3160614270 Much of this guide's structure was inspired by KH/TWRoxas' great equipment/KARON guide for Revision; check it out if you're looking for base game information without having to parse the JP wiki through Google Translate. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2889115638 The original GROW diagram is sourced from an Anon on dcinside's Astlibra Minor Gallery[gall.dcinside.com]; I've only translated the Hangul notes back to English and did rudimentary typesetting in turn even if sharing this diagram was also the biggest driving force behind creating this guide. Special thanks to Inarrou for helping me fill in gaps with the Small Metal rewards. As usual, there will be major spoilers throughout the guide. Equipment - Intro The equipment sections will briefly indicate all of the gear available in Gaiden, where to find them, and their corresponding mastery reward (or special effect, if any for accessories). Equipment functions almost identically to Revision: weapons, shields, and armor gain proficiency as you kill monsters inside the cave, and will either grant a POLIN skill or have their stats boosted alongside producing an item (typically a Magic Crystal). Any mastered equipment can be re-equipped to use its POLIN skill at no Magic Crystal cost while that gear is equipped. Unlike Revision, equipment enhancement can be performed very early on in Gaiden instead of being relegated to the Postscript. It should also be noted that Postscript Boards are relegated to your Styles and are overall more simplified compared to Revision's approach. All Master entries with an "EP:" denote Enhanced Performance equipment.

Footnotes Divine Sword Ec Stasia requires 20 Primordial Fragments and an Alexandrite to craft. Primordial Fragments only drop from the cell enemies that populate Stratum 10. They drop fairly frequently, so give it a run or two if you're short fragments. To obtain the Alexandrite, you need the Great Sage's Rope and Iron Bars Key from mastering the Great Sage's Robe and Kutune Shirka. Go to the well past Rispadar's clothing store and use the Great Sage's Rope so you can enter the well. Go all the way to the left (ignore the bottom path for now) to reach the Rispadar prison from Revision chapter 6. Use the Iron Bars Key to open up the Hero's old prison cell. Interact with the bed there to fight Anubis' 3rd phase (in its chapter 8 form). Defeating Anubis will drop Soul Balance Collibra...as a key item. Go back to your mother in the bakery and she will barter it in a cutscene for an Alexandrite (all but said to be with the Hero). Return to Mokyun in any Postscript Stratum to craft Ec Stasia. The cutscene will trigger after traversing at least one stage in the Cave at the beginning of the game, whether you return safely or die. Legion still resides at the bottom of Rispadar's well as in Revision. You only need the Great Sage's Rope from the Great Sage's Robe to access Legion; simply fight through the well's bottom path gauntlet as before and defeat Legion to obtain Ignition. Mastering Elna Saga will produce a Sun Stone. The Sun Stone can be traded to Komugi for a Herb, which can be synthesized with Gunpowder to produce chapter 7's Sleeping Aid (note that you need Alchemy Recipes from 44 Small Metals to do this). You can then make the guard blocking the way to Rispadar's palace fall asleep with the Sleeping Aid to get through. Hit the target then Air Surf all the way to the other side to obtain Faxana-du in the chest. You will not get another chance to fight Kai if you lose, so be sure to reload to before the fight if you want the Kaiser Ring! If you're struggling against Kai, try using a magic build to whittle down his health with Dark. You can try to pick off his orbs with Cutter as well. Otherwise, he has the exact same attacks as with his appearances in Revision; don't be too greedy with generating ST on hits if you're on the Magician style. This triggers after clearing Stratum 3 and being told to go to the inn. This is blocked off by a door opened with the Goblin's Stone Plate. The upper Stone Plate Fragment is rewarded with 32 Small Metals, while the lower fragment is rewarded by mastering Murasame. Note that Alchemy Recipes is also required to synthesize the completed stone plate. The GROW Tree Unlike Revision's GROW tree consisting of chapter-locked zones with varying shapes, Gaiden's GROW tree is simplified down to a massive grid with 8 rows/branches corresponding to each stat. From top to bottom, these branches add to HP, ST, ATC, DEF, MAG, SPD, LUC, and ADA. As before, HP, ATC, DEF, MAG, and SPD will gradually ramp up their stat increases further down the tree, while ST, LUC, and ADA's per point values are static throughout the DLC. All text written directly on the tree correspond to equipment treasure chests.

The only other commonality with Revision's GROW tree are the center locks, which will disappear after entering the 6th Stratum for the first time in Gaiden's Postscript half. As noted on the image, the far right locks will unlock for each God defeated in the Arena. The last point of interest is the upper-right corner at the end of the HP/ST rows: these are the infinite GROW stat nodes, which also function in exactly the same way they did at the bottom of Revision's Postscript section of the GROW tree. POLIN Skills The POLIN Skills system is functionally identical to Revision's KARON skills and many of its skills (both base and Board swaps) make their return alongside a handful of new or remixed skills. A few Revision skills, such as Swordsmith or Sub Weapon, have their functionalities replicated by Gaiden's Styles. Unlike Revision, boards in Gaiden cannot roll pieces that replace skills. What you see here is what you get. Basic Mode Skill NameEffectCostSourceMagical VisionAllows you to see remaining enemy physical strength (HP).1StarterMind's EyeShows what colored Force an enemy will drop.1Ancient SwordEvil VisionAllows you to see enemy attributes.

Press the jump button while jumping.4Starter The Art of Thievery: Drop rate increases by about 4-5%; doesn't affect chest drop chance. Polin's Nose: This skill's map refers to the minimap while unpaused; not having this skill won't affect the Handmade Map Kit's paused maps. Sturdy: Equivalent to 20 ADA, which grants about +7 to status resistances. Digging Master's Focus: Prevents low hit rolls (accompanied with a dull "kang!") when mining.Weapons Mode Skill NameEffectCostSourceCritical HitAfter your combo is interrupted, your first subsequent attack deals significant break damage.2HatchetGladiatorReduces Shield Bash's cooldown time.4Craftsman's ShieldShellingIncreases the occurrence of critical break.4EarthshakerWrestlerIncreases distance enemies are knocked back by weapon attacks.3Barrel HammerHerculean PowerImproves the minimum swing speed of heavy weapons, allowing them to be swung more quickly.4Stone GreatswordFatal BlowIncreases the damage dealt to a broken enemy by 30%.5Axe BunkerGun HammerWhen hitting with a blunt weapon, bullets are fired diagonally upwards from the point of impact.7Burst HammerShufflingAllows you to move slightly while attacking.1Wooden ShieldStingerStops you from moving forward during a thrust attack or a Shield Bash.

The distance sword energy travels is not affected by weapon type.9Holy Staff ExodusDevil's Right HandIncreases the range of the currently equipped weapon by one level. Range 3 weapons will also be further extended.10Phoenix Blade Herculean Power: This still makes Kirihide travel farther by one MC's width worth?? Gun Hammer, Sword Energy: Both will stack with each other and appear to scale based on your magical power, as do other weapons' innate sub-attacks (e.g. Thunder Sword, all staves). The Thunder Sword will not proc Sword Energy, though Ec Stasia will as of v1.0.4. Shuffling: Roughly half your walk speed. Also applies to sub weapons' animation locks. Berserk: A bleed tick will count as a "hit" to kill. Dying Curse and HP burn from Darkness don't count.

Scales with LIBRA's HP Recovery. Step: Usable in the air; Air Surf will take priority if using the Dash button, but double-tapping left/right will work just fine if you need Step specifically. And while Air Surf can't be used when walking off an edge, Step will still work. Has about a second cooldown before re-use. Using Air Surf seems to freeze that cooldown timer during Air Surf. Equip Eternal Galla Shin if you want both Dash and Step as they conflict otherwise. Second Wind: The iframes extend to about half a second. It's very noticeable if you stand on lava/spikes or get hit by a laser. God's Left Hand: The ("intentional") loophole from Revision still works: Equip Wicked King's Shield to get GLH for free with a 1 or 2-range weapon equipped Equip whichever desired 3-range weapon Swap to your desired shield Repeat steps 1-3 if swapping to another 3-range weaponMagic ModeSkill NameEffectCostSourceBreatherSlows down the speed of decreasing ST.2Leather SpauldersHigh-Speed IncantationShortens the time needed to cast magic.5Magician's SpauldersAbsolute TerritoryIncreases the invincibility time while magic is active.5Golden PauldronsGreat MagicSignificantly extends the time until ST begins to decrease.4Angel BatonFlawlessSlightly increases ST consumption.

In exchange, damage is increased in proportion to how much extra ST was used.6Crystal ShieldArtisanThe ST required to activate magic remains the same, but the actual ST consumed is reduced.10High Ancient High-Speed Incantation: Appears to roughly halve the default pre-cast delay of half a second. Great Magic: Stacking this with Dragon Cup will increase the ST drain grace period to about double its normal time. Absolute Territory: Appears to be a negligible increase from the default 1s iframe, if at all from testing by casting different spells on top of lava/spikes then frame counting recordings with/without the skill. If the NGE reference wasn't clear enough, this is outright called 絶対領域 in JP. Flawless: Increases ST costs by 10%. Not nearly as useful given the lack of transform-type magic compared to Revision and the above 1s iframe. Darkness: HP cost is 3x the spell's cast cost without considering Full Burst nor Artisan in exchange for a 60% spell power buff. If you don't have enough HP to pay for a spell, you won't be able to cast it. Eliminate: Increases ST costs by 10%. The ST cost increases of both Flawless and Eliminate are additive with each other. Demon Rage: The 2x ST cost will not affect Flawless nor Eliminate's cost increases. Full Burst: The spell power buff is 0.8 x (amount of ST used / original cast cost). It's completely possible to do less damage with FB if you don't use more than 1.25x a spell's original ST cost. Darkness, Demon Rage, and Full Burst's spell power multipliers are all additive with each other. Artisan: The ST consumed will always be 5% less of the final cast cost after considering Flawless, Eliminate, and Demon Rage if they are active.

Gemstone Power: Damage multiplier appears to be (Corundum owned / 2)%. This affects all damage inflicted, physical or magical. As implied by the tooltip's phrasing, Gemstone Power is multiplicative with all other damage multiplier sources, including Berserk for physical attacks and Darkness, Demon Rage, and Full Burst for magic. Divine Reversal: The final boss has two attacks affected by this: Breath of Death, and Breath of Life. Normally, Death hits extremely hard and will likely one-shot you, while Life just heals you. This skill reverses the breaths both ways so Death isn't fatal but Life will kill you. Unequip this as needed during the fight. The Arena The Arena will unlock after clearing the 1st Stratum and the following sequence with the Scales. Unlike Revision's Arena, the Gaiden Arena battles are replays of Revision's main bosses; other than all bosses having scaled up stats (including Anulis now that having Polin skills is taken into account), their behaviors remain the same as before. There are also no hard progression locks between Arena battles beyond the obvious stat spikes every few fights. Thus, Arena progression can be roughly tiered from weakest to strongest as follows: Early first half: Golden Dragon, Terra-Behemoth Mid first half: Agni, Meldine Late first half: Deus Ex Machina, Marionette Beginning of Postscript: Anulis, Mira-Bahamut Mid Postscript: Gleipnir, Pure Silver Endgame: God fights, The BarkeepClearing each fight will unlock the next in the sequence, excepting Pure Silver unlocking the six God fights. These Gods can be fought in any order, but all of them must be defeated to challenge the Barkeep. As with Revision, Arena battles will produce a reward on the first clear.

你的妹妹的爱好 外传：从妹妹那里拿到手枪。 手枪需要史莱姆凝胶和企鹅蛋才能从小麦粉那里购买，这两样都只在第六层掉落。因此，你要到外传后记的初期才能拿到手枪。

假人破坏者 外传：摧毁后院的假人。 该假人的防御属性与外传前半部分后期的怪物相当。建议在能够顺利解锁第四至第五层的宙斯时尝试摧毁它。 摧毁初始假人会掉落等级纹章，并在其位置生成修订版的岩石假人。

彩票大师外传：收集豪华彩票的所有头奖。莫库云的豪华彩票中，金球奖奖品为【饰品栏位+1】。收集全部5个金球奖将解锁此成就，并将其替换为3颗魔法石。

鳞片的潜在力量（外传） 外传：强化鳞片一次。 当你通关第11层后，返回里斯帕达尔的世界树间隙，与那里的老妇人对话。此时她会解锁鳞片强化功能。 与主线游戏不同，每次鳞片强化只需花费20000金币。

有天赋的姐姐 外传：获取所有风格 外传共有15种风格可供获取：探索者、女剑士、魔法师、守护者、盗贼、野蛮人、骑士、枪兵、舞者、忍者、武士、重战士、刺客、女巫和英雄的倒影。 向服装店送面包可解锁探索者。 女剑士位于武器店的宝箱中，使用空中骑行可到达。 魔法师在第1层中点的宝箱里。 其他所有风格都有极低几率从洞穴内的宝箱中获得。据我所知，从守护者到忍者的风格可在游戏前半段找到，而武士到英雄的倒影则是后记后半段的专属风格。

魔法大姐姐 外传：学习所有魔法咒语。 以下是外传中可解锁的所有咒语。请注意，第四行之后的咒语（火属性为第五行之后）仅在外传的后记部分可用。你还需要在竞技场中击败神明才能完成此成就；有关更多详情，请查看成长树。火焰 水 土 风 暗 光 烈焰 泡泡 黏土 切割者 黑洞 纯净 伏尔甘 雨水冲击 风暴 黑暗微粒 燃烧水球 坟墓反射 雷电 橡皮擦 加特林 潮汐波 脉冲 台风 宙斯 雅典娜 火墙 泡泡炸弹 彗星 戴纳斯火花 射线 地雷 喷射 岩石破碎 saber 乌云 选项 火焰雨 飞溅 落石 真空 闪电 纯粹 熔岩 雪崩 流星 龙卷风 大爆炸 射线炸弹 火蜥蜴 喷射流 地震 帕耳塞娜 特斯拉 千兆橡皮擦 magna flare 暴风雪 小行星 戴纳修恩 齐奥十字 纯粹之心

时尚大姐姐 外传：获取所有服装。 只需从服装店购买所有服装物品。不考虑黄金票折扣的情况下，这将花费你高达30万金币。

间接之吻 外传：获取棒棒糖。 公主以99个纸巾的价格出售棒棒糖。 如果不想用所有普通彩票来赌纸巾，可以用44个小金属从梅洛处获取炼金术配方。这将解锁用一张（豪华）彩票和一个精炼工具包兑换成纸巾的配方。

得力助手犬 外传：习得所有POLIN技能。 有关更多信息，请参考POLIN技能部分。请注意，与“修正”不同，外传的所有可解锁技能均通过精通装备获得。

满足于只看不做 外传：向梅洛展示所有小金属。 在获得神秘蓝图和58个小金属后再次与梅洛交谈，即可解锁此成就。

竞技场冠军 外传：称霸所有竞技场战斗。 有关外传模式中竞技场的更多详情，请查看竞技场部分。 击败他后记得与酒保对话，以解锁该成就！ 成就（第二部分）

我挚爱的姐姐 拯救你的妹妹，同时拯救整个小镇。 击败第五层首领后的盖斯特。此成就将在尾声序列结束时解锁。

双雄 外传：有他们两人在，一切都会好起来的。 在第11层之后，于最底层击败最终Boss。此成就将在片尾动画后解锁。

皇帝外传：反抗命运并击败凯。 可错过的成就！ 在击败第二层的首领后，你将立即与凯战斗。如果你失败了，将不会有再次与他战斗的机会，所以如果你想要这个成就，请务必在战斗前重新加载存档！如果你获胜，他还会掉落皇帝戒指。 如果你在击败他时遇到困难，请参考第五个装备注释。

支线故事大师 外传：完成《星界边境》外传的所有内容。 尽管成就描述如此，但这并非真正的100%完成度成就！ 击败最终Boss后，最底层会出现一个最终Boss限时挑战宝珠。完成一次该挑战即可解锁最终Boss等级挑战宝珠。 完成两次等级挑战后，返回即可解锁此成就和金色齿轮。 更新日志 2024年5月3日：明确了需要使用大贤者之绳才能进入井。 2024年3月2日：根据1.0.4版本的热修复修改了剑能的注释。 2024年2月24日：修正了关于获取“燃点”和介绍外传竞技场的不当/冗余措辞。2024年2月22-23日：参考日文维基的KARON页面，为部分POLIN技能添加了说明。看来《Revision》中与回归技能相关的许多特殊机制/问题在《Gaiden》中仍然存在。 2024年2月21日：攻略发布。
