How to unlock the Arms Addict achievement in Star Ocean: The Last Hope - Definitive Guide

Weapon data is obtained in a few different ways:

- Obtaining a weapon for one of your characters
- Inspecting weapons while exploring
- Talking to characters that carry weapons
- Fighting monsters that carry certain weapons

Make sure you're using a checklist (the one Ater Magus has works nicely) as you play through the game, as there's a possibility that you will miss some data. There are chests that you cannot return to, and there are monsters that will disappear forever (though it's actually harder to avoid these monsters than it is to fight them at least once, which is all you will need.)

Some annoying / hard to get weapons:

- Any weapon from the Coliseum coin exchange. You will need to accumulate around 20,000 coins to purchase them all. Fortunately, if you're going for the Bunny Racing achievements, you will accrue more than enough coins.
- The Mysterious Scepter and Grim Reaper weapons purchased from the Imitation Gallery shop on EN II. The reason I list this is because the shop is tough to find, as it's not marked on the map. It's on the east-central side of Centropolis, down a skinny alley. There's a metal door at the end that will open when you approach.
- Anything from the Wandering Dungeon. The bad news is that you'll most likely have to make multiple runs through the dungeon to get all the weapons. The good news: the weapons appear only on specific floors, making your search faster and easier. The following weapons can (but don't always) appear on the following floors:

- Artifact Bow (4F, 6F)
- Blazing Wand (7F, 8F)
- Infinity Saber (7F, 11F)
- Trident Harpoon (9F, 13F)
- Hidden Claws "Crimson Falcons" (10F, 12F)
- Blood Scepter (14F, 15F)
- Ultimate Cannon (16F, 18F)
- Demon Sword "Levantine" (17F, 19F)

A final note: it's worth checking out enemy drops, as some of the later enemies drop items that you may have missed. For example, Dark Raptors and Phantom Dragoons on Nox Obscuris drop Cardianon Swords and Cardianon Bows, respectively. Also, you may luck out in the Wandering Dungeon and open a chest with a weapon you missed, but relying on this method is perhaps more trouble than it's worth.

Sure, that's actually a pretty good idea. Make several of the same save file with some Feathers, make one weapon with each, and save after making the weapon... this should be a faster way of netting the Arms Addict achievement. Good thinking!

iv done this achievement a long while ago and i feel like helping with it now ^_^
when buying weapons from the colliseum just save before, then save the weapons you bought into a new slot. then reload and buy the others. saves alot of time. because the weapon data is like battle trophies.

Tumbs up because of the comments. Well i was looking if i needed to have the weapon or not. In my backtrack save to get the trophy for killing a boss within 10 min with lymle i got blood scepter and it was saved after but i dont have that weapon on my main save. But i like to get that weapon and have to kill that boss 2 more times with main save so i might instead of killing the boss 2 times in a row now just kill it once and do another run and hope to get that weapon on either floor 14 or 15. (Typical it is a weapon on a higher floor).

Does the list of weapons collected carry over multiple playthroughs (in the same way Battle Trophies do)?

I managed to miss one recipe and so am unable to create one of the weapons.

Yes, this can be done over multiple playthroughs. Which I'm sure is good news for you!

Indeed! I plan to make all items possible in my current playthrough, and then start another game for the only item I missed.

For the weapons that need GC / EQ feathers, do you think it is sensible to create an extra save to create them, rather than waste the feathers (considering I can't get 100% item creation).

Arms Addict - 30G (Original Achievement)

Diffiuclty: 8/10 (Will take a long time)

To get this achievement you need 100% of weapon data meaning you need to have held every weapon possible for each character in your inventory at one point, talked to every NPC that has a certain weapon, fought monsters and defeated them if they had a certain weapon, or just examined a weapon that is lying around. There are 147 weapons to find in total. 113 Character Weapons, 2 Other Weapons (Scumbag Slayer, and Laser Weapon), 15 Weapons that can only be obtained from talking to NPC's and examining them. 17 Weapons that can only be obtained after defeating certain enemies (Will show the data is collected after battle) You can easily look to see if you have a weapon by pressing Y and going to "Collectibles" and then "Weapons". In here if you see for ex. 005 Cardianon Sword and a picture of it to the left, then you successfully collected the data for weapon #5. But if you see ??? then you have not collected it yet.

There are 147 total weapons to learn about in the game. Most will be given by acquiring weapons (purchasing, finding or creating them), but some can only be learned about by inspecting "prop" weapons, speaking with NPC characters or fighting an enemy who has that weapon. A detailed list and how to obtain each one can be found here. Whenever you come to a new town, buy any weapon in its shop, even if you're not going to equip it.
