How to unlock the A Fantasy, Finalized achievement in Battle Chasers: Nightwar - Definitive Guide
During your first playthrough be sure to obtain has many perk points as possible. The collector can give you a bunch by trading in shadow coins. So be sure to sell him everything.
My NG+ squad was as follows:
Calibrettio: Increase his attack power and his heals are great. Put 100 points into his Nature tree for heals and 80 into his artillery tree to get the most out of his heals.
Gully: The best tank in the game and can also drop shields for the whole party. I put 132 into her guardian tree for defense and 50 into avenger for haste. You want her to taunt the enemies as soon as possible.
Garrison: The death dealer. His DPS is easily the best in the game. I went with 130 points into swordsman for the crazy damage output and I did 54 into wanderer for haste mainly. Get him perks anything that has to do with crit/ap up and stack swordsman overchage/wanderer overcharge.
I did not use the other 3 characters AT ALL.
The combat strategy is simple: Taunt with Gully and shield up, heal with bretto and rain death with garrison. Garrison's Relentless assault burst followed up with beserk is fantastic. Also, loading up overcharge with sting or swift strike then when maxed doing relentless assualt followed by Warblade II will end all life. So satisfying. Bretto can also drop some dps as well since you wanna max his attack output for heals.
Clearly your going to need gear to put out the numbers so I went about my run as follows. I did all the dungeons on legendary AND mythic up to Strongmont. I did this for leveling, gold and gear drops. The remaining dungeons I did solely on Legendary.
Since you will have so much gold continually go back to the blacksmith to see if he has some decent gear for sale. Obviously upgrade his shop. Sell some shadow coins for some gear from the collector as well. The mana rifts lootboxes can drop some great stuff I bought 4 of those before doing mana rifts.
Visit the enchanter and enchant your gear. Buy books to learn the enchantments. I concentrated on giving my team the highest health pool as possible. Some enemies hit crazy hard. After strongmont talk to her and she will have an enchanting table available.
After doing the above you should be powerful enough to take on C'drall. Unlike the first playthrough she is pretty tough in NG+. I succeeded in beating her by doing the following.. Taunt/shield with Gully, Heal and remove debuffs with Bretto, fill overchange via sting and hit her with warblade II. You do need to be tactical and sometimes she will wipe you. When she casts dark star make sure your squad is D'd up and have Bretto remove her bleeds asap. They hurt.
My teams final stats were as follows:
Bretto
Health: 15,430
Mana: 450
Atk: 4,581
Gully
Health: 21,815
Mana: 180
Atk: 4,604
Garrison
Health: 11,273
Mana: 150
Atk: 8,242
***Here is a weapon tip courtesy of BenightedLight: After you get to the junktown region, if you caught all of the fish in the first playthrough, you can pick up a sword for Garrison from the fishmonger for free. I'm currently running through Junktown one-shotting everything.
Things I did not do were: Craft any gear, mess with any potions, kill any optional bosses, fight any pirates or enter the arena. I also, didn't obtain any legendary weapons.
I understand there are many ways to accomplish this and my way probably isn't the most efficient but I just wanted to share what I did in case someone is looking for some guidance.
I hope this proves useful, enjoy.
As usual i will write the solution for the achievement first in english, then in portuguese.
So after you finish the final battle you will see credits roll, and the main menu will come with the option "new game plus"
When selecting new game plus it will OVERWRITE your current saved game if you start it and it states this clearly so back up your save before you start if you want to go back to that save.
On new game plus, although you restart at level 1, you with keep all the abilities you gained from leveling, all perks obtained as well as perk points. You also keep all your beast perks, enemy info, time played, lore discovered, achievements, bestiary and fishiary. You can also use all the characters you have since the beginning (you only need to arrive at the city to trade them).
Be aware you DON'T keep your gold, equipment, key items, crafting materials, Hunts completed, blacksmith recipes, potion recipes, enchanting recipes, and you also have to pay all of them once again to upgrade their respective shops.
New game plus also increase the difficulty, offering a new mode in dungeons after legendary, called "Mythic". You can also choose any difficulty from the start of the dungeons, not being more necessary to finish the dungeon first to be able to change the difficulty.
Hope i can be of any help,
Cheers!

Olá a todos!
Como de costume, vou escrever a solução para esta conquista primeiro em inglês, e depois em português.
Então, depois que você termina a batalha final, você verá os créditos, e o menu principal passará a constar com a opção "new game +"
Quando selecionar "new game +" o arquivo de salvamento irá subscrever seu arquivo de salvamento atual. O Jogo irá te informar isto de forma expressa antes de você iniciar este novo save.
No "New game +", em que pese você reiniciar no level 1, você manterá todas habilidades que você ganhou por ter ganho level anteriormente, todos os pontos de perk adquiridos. Você também manterá as informações coletadas, tempo de jogo, lore (história) discoberta, conquistas, bestiário e fishiary (peixes). Você também poderá usar todos personagens recrutados desde o início (você só precisará chegar na cidade para troca-los).
Tome cuidado que você não manterá seu ouro, equipamento, itens chave, material de forja e criação, caçadas, receitas de ferreiro, receitas de poção e encantamentos, e também perderá as melhorias que tiver realizado nas lojas da cidade.
"New game +" também aumenta a dificuldade, oferecendo um novo modo nas dungeons depois do lendário, chamado de mítico. Você também poderá escolher qualquer dificuldade no início das dungeons, não sendo mais necessário termina-las primeiro.
Espero ter ajudado!
New Game Plus in Battle Chasers is not a traditional NG+ where you play the game a second time as a god, murdering everything with your overpowered characters and ultimate weapons. Instead, your level is reset, inventory wiped, and the difficulty increased. It's an interesting choice, and will essentially just make the game take longer and not necessarily be more interesting or fun, but it is what it is. Luckily, your retain all your Beast Perks, Perk points, abilities, and your character roster. You can pick your favorite team as soon as you get to Harm's Way, the loss of your level and inventory don't feel so bad when you have better base stats from your Beast Perks, and you have all your abilities to use as well.
Things that carry over:
- All 6 characters are available as soon as you enter the Inn the first time.
- Unlocked Bestiary/Fishiary/Lore entries
- Unlocked Burst Bar is retained
- Unlocked second skill is retained
- All perk points are retained
Things that do not carry over:
- All items are removed (weapons/armor/jewelry/potions/etc)
- Character levels reset to 1
- All gold and shadow coins are removed
This mode can be tough, particularly early on and especially if the main game was completed without much in the way of grinding. Ultimately, the difficulty of New Game+ is directly related to the amount of effort that went into the first playthrough. I finished this mode using the original 3 characters, Calibretto, Gully, and Garrison. In New Game+ Gully's Taunt was probably my most used attack.
Tips:
- Make a backup of the original save game to the cloud or USB in case your New Game+ journey is too difficult.
- Grinding perk points in the first playthrough can help reduce the difficulty of New Game+ by quite a bit.
- Be sure to spend all additional shadow coins on perk points and read all of your perk books in the first playthrough as both the coins and books will be lost forever if they're not used.
- Complete the fishiary in the original playthrough. The first time you speak to the fish monger, he'll reward you with a level 26 sword for Garrison, which is quite helpful in getting through the middle portion of the game.
- In New Game+, armor and weapons can be crafted with 400% success, up to legendary level -- take advantage of this if you can, particularly for higher level armor.
- Get the ultimate weapons for the final boss, particularly for the main damage dealer. I skipped Calibretto's ultimate weapon because I didn't bother to grind out the sky captain.
- On the final boss, I pumped up the crit buffs for Garrison and then used his level 3 burst attack -- that burst attack has a number of hits and many of them will crit for huge overall damage.
There is nothing special you must do during this second playthrough other than finish the game and beating the final boss. Once you complete the game for a second time, the trophy will pop.
