How to unlock the Secret Mission 23 achievement in Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide
You need to witness all 16 of the following attacks, in no particular order, to complete the mission. Note that the more damage Flynn takes, the more he switches up his Artes. He will only heal and use some of the more serious damaging spells once you've chunked his health down a good amount. For convenience I've alpha ordered the list so you can check quickly if you're looking for a particular arte:
Beast
Demon Fang
Demonic Chaos
Demonic Circle
Dragon Swarm
First Aid (Heal #1)
Guardian Field (Heal #2)
Hell Fire Blade
Holy Lance (Magic)
Luminant Scythe (Magic)
Radiant Dragon Fang (Mystic Arte)
Rising Falcon
Severing Blade
Shining Falcon
Sonic Thrust
Tiger Blade
________________________________________________________________________________
To get Flynn to trigger his Mystic Arte, simply use your Mystic Arte and Flynn will immediately counter with his. To use your Mystic Arte:
1) Press for level 3 Overlimit (requires Limit Trio from Synthesis).
2) While in Overlimit, use an arcane, altered, or burst arte. While you are performing the Arte, hold down the attack button for regular strikes. (Typically or depending on your setup).
3) Once the Arte finishes and you are holding down the attack button, Yuri should perform the Mystic Arte. (Requires Special Skill)
After you see all 16 of Flynn's Artes you will see a short text clip from Flynn and Great! on your screen to notify you that you've seen them all and completed the mission.
Here is the list of his moves: Demon Fang, Sonic Thrust, Demonic Chaos, Beast, Dragon Swarm, Luminant Scythe, Tiger Blade, Hell Pyre, Severing Wind, Demonic Circle, Rising Falcon, Holy Lance, Guardian Field, First Aid, Radiant Dragon Fang.
This one is pretty simple but takes some preparation. You'll need your Overlimit ready, and either have a weapon equipped with the "Special" skill on it, or have the Special skilled learned and in Yuri's move set. This enables you to use a Mystic Arte. Go ahead and use your mystic arte right as the battle starts (enter Overlimit, use an arcane arte, then hold while the arcane arte is going) and Flynn will counter with his own mystic arte. Continue the battle until Flynn is low on health and he will heal himself. If that wasn't the final move you needed, simply hold to block and let Flynn pound on you to get the "Great!" message to show you saw the final attack in his arsenal.
Here is the list of his moves: Demon Fang, Sonic Thrust, Demonic Chaos, Beast, Dragon Swarm, Luminant Scythe, Tiger Blade, Hell Pyre, Severing Wind, Demonic Circle, Rising Falcon, Holy Lance, Guardian Field, First Aid, Radiant Dragon Fang.
