How to unlock the Field Guide to Erebonian Wildlife achievement in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel - Definitive Guide
Missable
To unlock this trophy, you need to analyze every enemy and boss in the game by using the Battle Scope item (can be purchased at shop in any town) or Elliot and Emma's Detector craft. Note: Dragon Vision can be used since it automatically analyzes defeated enemies, however, it's not recommended because the character who equips this quartz must deal the finishing blow; therefore, you may miss the optional or main bosses since they are only available once.
If you defeat the same species a few times by using various attacks, then you will receive its data, instead of scanning them but it will take a while to fill the enemy info. You should try to analyze and defeat all possible monsters/enemies (including mini-bosses from the subquests) in the current area before moving on to next areas. If done correctly however, you will unlock this trophy when you fight against the final boss.
Note: You should pay attention to Panda, Raccoon, and Tomato-like enemies since they are not available on the map, however, they usually come with other monsters. If you see "No appearance" next to the monster name, then you should try to defeat these monsters before leaving.
