How to unlock the Cycle of Darkness achievement in STRANGER OF PARADISE FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN PS4 & PS5 - Definitive Guide

This achievement is currently bugged in a good way! Here's what you have to do:

1. Beat the game on any difficulty to unlock CHAOS;
2. After beating the game you can get Anima Shards from missions, which you can then use to unlock higher mission levels on CHAOS difficulty. Gather six of them;
3. Switch to CHAOS difficulty and start the main mission "Warriors of Calamity", located on the Chaos Shrine. By using the Anima Shards you gathered this mission will be level 200;
4. Speedrun through the level passing by all the enemies. Reach the final boss and die. Instead of pressing A to continue, press Menu to go back to the World Map;
5. Switch back to Casual difficulty and pick a side mission you are familiar with. After you beat this mission, both CYCLE OF DARKNESS and ORIGIN OF TRUE CHAOS achievements should unlock.

The method above was tested by me on version 2.0.1.0 on March 18.

Recommend everyone to get this one asap, as out of all achievements reckon these chaos ones are to be patched would save you the trouble doing the whole game again as it really Is a dull game after first few levels IMO

It may be worth mentioning that the easiest (only) way to get Anima Crystals outside of Chaos difficulty is by completing the three Ebon Memories side quests that unlock when you beat the game. They award 2 crystals each the first time you complete them, giving you enough to follow this solution.

It seems they patched this. The only way I was able to get it to work was offline without the patch.

If you’ve got the DLC, this can easily be done of the first mission, Light of Possibility. You can’t die in this mission, so you just need to defeat the enemy. You also get given a full set of Level 200 gear for completing it too.

The side-quest/mission Coral Memories: The Greedy, found at the Cavern of Earth is the best location to do this. You don't have to kill any enemies, you just need to run past everything to find each of the chests until one of them provides you with the Trident. You can do this repeatedly to both farm anima crystals and keep opening up the higher levels of this quest. Once you have it at level 300 you can farm level 300 gear off of the bombs at the start of the quest by hitting them with 3 fire attacks and then resting at the cubes nearby, thereby shortcutting grinding equipment for the end-game.

You will need to spend enough Anima Crystals to unlock level 200 for a mission. Anima Crystals are largely found by playing on Chaos. (See Seeker of Ultimate Power trophy_bronze.png for more about Anima Crystals.) Collect enough to unlock level 200 for any mission, then complete the mission for this trophy. If you need help collecting Anima Crystals, check the grinding method under Job Master trophy_gold.png.

At the Chaos difficulty level, if you have an Anima Crystal, you can increase the difficulty level of almost any level, i.e. if you have several crystals, you can raise the difficulty of the level to 200, pass it and that’s it, the trophy is yours.

The trident will spawn randomly in one of the 5 chests on the level.

If you have the Season Pass, then the first mission of the first addition "Light of Possibility" is exactly level 200. You can't die in it, so just go through one battle, regardless of your level.

After completing the first level on Chaos, look for a level called The Greedy. This is a submission in a purple dungeon where you need to find a trident. It's easy to find. at the first intersection (after jumping off the ledge) to the right. Where the skeleton and Cthulhu walker are in the corner there is a staircase - go up it. After two bombs, run to the left through the doorway and there you will come across two skeletons and a giant. The trident is on their back. It is enough to lure them to a sufficient distance and run to the chest.
So, you buy the highest level of availability for all the crystals and run through it. You get a lot of crystals and increase the level to 300. Run through it again. I advise you to try to knock out level 260+ weapons and armor from your enemies (useful for getting the release limit for the class).
In fact, a couple of runs will be enough for you to have enough crystals to level up your profession to level 99 and to increase the levels of missions where the limit releases you need are located.
