Flynn's Altered Artes

Discover how to unlock and master Flynn's powerful Altered Artes in Tales of Vesperia. Learn the required skills and obtained items for each unique move.

Hey there! So, you're looking to really spice up Flynn's move set, huh? This section is all about his Altered Artes – basically, supercharged versions of his regular skills. It's not a complex quest or anything, but you'll need to pay attention to which skills and items you need to get your hands on to unlock them. Let's break down how to get each one!

Cure

This one's a pretty handy support arte. To get the Altered version, you'll need to have the Great Deluge skill. You can snag the base arte, Cure, from weapons like the Vorpal Sword or its upgraded version, the Vorpal Sword +1.

Distortion Blade

For a powerful offensive arte, you'll want Distortion Blade. The requirement here is a bit different – you need the 'Benevolent Beneficiary' Title. The original arte is Severing Blade, and there are no specific skill requirements listed for this Altered Arte.

Fierce Hell Fire Blade

This sounds intense, right? To unlock Fierce Hell Fire Blade, you'll need both the Crucible and Hell Fire skills. You automatically get the Crucible skill once Flynn joins your party in Yormgen. For Hell Fire, you'll need the Flamberge weapon.

Mistral Soul

Mistral Soul is another Altered Arte that requires a specific skill: Gale. The base arte you're looking to upgrade is Luminant Scythe, and you'll obtain this one from the Ares weapon.

Rending Quake

If you like earth-shattering moves, Rending Quake is for you. The key skill you need here is Athenor. Similar to Crucible, you'll get the Athenor skill automatically after Flynn joins your party in Yormgen. The original arte is Demonic Circle.

Rising Phoenix

This Altered Arte builds off of Rising Falcon. All you need to unlock it is the Hell Fire skill, which you can get from the Flamberge weapon.

Shining Falcon - Dispersion

This is an upgrade to the Shining Falcon arte. To get this Altered version, you'll need the Dispersion skill. Like the Cure arte, you can find the base Shining Falcon arte on the Vorpal Sword and Vorpal Sword +1.

Sword Rain: Alpha

This is a pretty cool-looking arte! To unlock Sword Rain: Alpha, you'll need two skills: Alembic and Chain. You can get Alembic from the Ares weapon and Chain from the Flamberge.

Tiger Rage

Last but not least, we have Tiger Rage! This Altered Arte requires both the Chain and Gale skills. You can get Chain from the Flamberge and Gale from the Ares weapon. The original arte is Tiger Blade.

So there you have it! Getting these Altered Artes might take a bit of effort in collecting the right weapons and skills, but they're definitely worth it to add some serious power to Flynn's arsenal. Happy fighting!
