Master the Tranquil Woods in Tales of Berseria Remastered! Learn about Prickleboar battles, Soul Gauge mechanics, and essential skits to progress.
Hey there! Welcome to the Tranquil Woods in Tales of Berseria Remastered. This is a pretty straightforward area where you'll learn some key combat mechanics, so let's get through it together.
Walkthrough
- 1Start by heading north along the path. When you reach a split, take the southern route. This will lead you to your first encounter with Prickleboars and trigger the Battle Tutorial.
- 2Pay attention during the tutorial! It'll teach you that using artes costs points from your Soul Gauge (SG). To increase your SG and perform more attacks in a combo, you need to inflict status ailments on enemies.
- 3After this first fight, watch the skit called The Prickleboars' Future. Then, head east. You'll find another Prickleboar encounter near a chest containing an Apple Gel.
- 4Continue east and defeat the last group of Prickleboars in this section. This will automatically trigger the skit Prickleboars Hunted!. After that, check out the giant hole in the temple ruins to trigger the skit The Shrine on the Cape.
- 5Now, you'll need to backtrack through the woods. As you head back, a scene will play, forcing you into a fight against 5 Prickleboars.
- 6After this battle, open your battle menu. It's a good idea to set Searing Edge to Velvet's arte tree. This arte is great for exploiting enemy weaknesses and performing a 'Power Hit', which deals extra damage.
- 7Following another cutscene, you'll get to watch the skit After the Hunt.... Once that's done, you're all set to return to town.
Tips
- Keep an eye out for skits! Some, like Prickleboars Hunted! and The Shrine on the Cape, play automatically and won't show their names on screen. They're marked with an asterisk (*) in the table of contents if you're ever looking for them.
- Remember the Soul Gauge mechanic. Inflicting status effects is key to keeping your SG high, which means more powerful combos!
- Don't forget to set Searing Edge. Exploiting enemy weaknesses with Power Hits can make a big difference in tougher fights.
