Tales of Xillia 2 Guide 3 Walkthrough Walkthrough

Post-Game

It’s NOT Over

When you clear the game, that is not the end of Tales of Xillia 2. After completing the Main Story, you can save your game with a save file that has a gold star to indicate your accomplishment. Load that file to continue in the second half of the Land of Canaan. This is a great opportunity to view the other ending (see details in Side Quest). In addition there are new items to obtain as well as second-generation EX Elite Monsters.

New Options After Completion

Chromatus Power Up

The Chromatus is increased to the four stages, and when transforming at stage four all attacks will have increased power. You will also learn two new skills—Overdrive and Chromatus Drive—that can be used when transformed. When using a mystic arte in a full Chromatus state, an unique effect and motion is available. Normally, on first-round game play, it is only available when defeating the last boss enemy, Bisley.

New Event Quests

Three new Event Quests will appear: Femme Fatales-Part 1, Femme Fatales-Part 2, and Traces of Kinship—Part 3. The first is from a familiar name from the Tales Series. Mint is looking for some Prism Lenses, and you should pay her a visit in Sharilton when you have them. For complete details on all three quests, check the Event Quest section of Side Quests.

EX Elite Monsters

After clearing the game, the defeated monsters respawn as more powerful versions (EX) in the same places you originally found them. An Elite Monster that had not been dealt with before finishing the game will be replaced with the EX Monster once the original ones have been defeated.

Ludger Can be Replaced

Ludger can now be placed as a sub-member in the party and no longer has to lead. This means he can be swapped out completely! Ludger is one of the strongest characters in the game, but leaving him behind is a great way to try out the other teammates and offers more flexibility to build new teams.

Increased Difficulty

A new EX rank is added to the Coliseum that kicks the challenge up past the previous Elite Rank. There is also a new “unknown” level of difficulty that can be selected in New Game+.

Illusionary Darkness

When you complete the game’s Main Story mode, a new event triggers when you approach the 1F entrance of the Spirius Corporation. After that, the entrance to the Illusionary Darkness appears in a Drellin—Central Plaza warehouse.

This is an extremely difficult dungeon, rife with 100+ level foes, so you’ll need a disciplined strategy to succeed. If you do, the boss in its deepest depths will emerge to appear as a special guest in the Expert rank of the Coliseum. Check out all the details of this difficult dungeon in the Side Quest section of this guide.

New Shops and Awesome Items

Several new shops are now open for business, and they have some great gear to upgrade your entire party. Make sure to check out the Custom Orders to create incredible equipment as well as life-saving items.

New Game+

The other option after clearing the game is to start the game over selecting New Game+. However, the trick is that you don’t simply get to keep everything you have earned in the previous play through. You must enter the Grade Shop and use the points you have accumulated from earning titles to buy the options you want to carry over. Note that several things like Monster and Item records will carry over automatically.
