I know there are some battle trophies that might be easier on Normal, but I just want to enjoy my 1st playthrough. That's really up to the player. I'm playing on very easy my first run to finish as quickly as possible and I'm still getting sufficient assists and breaks. Any battle trophies I don't get now I'll get on nightmare, that's for sure. Actually a couple more tips, levels don't carry over on NG+ period, so don't worry about levels and save your shiny pom baits. In chapter 4 there is a very easily missable treasure chest with a MQ that gives a bonus to experience earned. To grab it you have to back out of the dungeon and go back to the entry area. That's probably going to be the most commonly missed chest and it's very helpful on NG+. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killbomb Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 So would reading the summaries for the first two games on the official website be enough for me to jump into this one or would I still be lost? Played part of the first game not long after it came out on PS3 but don't remember much about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have played these games before i would play on normal for your first playthrough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't recommend starting CS lll without playing l and ll at the very least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The summaries do an okay job but there is a lot of pot holes if you have not played the other games outside of the Cold Steel series as its one big over arching story that interconnects between all the games. I would highly recommend playing the first two games first. As its like watching Harry Potter Goblet of Fire without watching 1/2/3 prior you will just be lost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedjwants Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I'm happy with the list, very similar to the first two games which I thought had excellent trophy lists. Getting it for Christmas though, going to be a long wait over these next two months! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacks81x Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 The Prologue trophy didn't pop for me. Any ideas? I have the digital deluxe version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a save from before the prologue ends i would revert back to it and complete the section again hopefully that works. I am not too sure as mine popped fine.

So i would just stick with the JP guide its only minor things like names of stuff are different but otherwise its a solid guide i personally have found so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll see that the JP guide mentions that as well and even without the translation you can see there is one less line: https://psnprofiles.com/guide/6566-英雄伝説-閃の軌跡iii-trails-of-cold-steel-iii-overall-walkthrough#18-second-playthrough Though it is funny how they repeated crafts and brave orders.

Weird And yeah that carrying over levels wasn't in the JP release, Falcom added that for the western release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second play through is quick though. Speaking from 1 and 2. I spent about 90 ish hours on 1 and 2 the first time around. Less than 15 on the second playthrough. Ps I just checked, it is impossible to do in 1 playthrough for 1 and 2. I’m sure this is the same nvm, OP just proved otherwise Not as huge on the combat of this one compared to the last 2, so probably wont be doing the nightmare runthrough, its still got plenty of time to change my mind though Edited October 26, 2019 by Mission001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, some names are different, but it will be possible to use that guide with the English version, the maps are really useful for the chests.

Sylver001 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) This title makes it pretty easy to Plat. in a single playthrough, as long one don‘t mind the nightmare challenge. If you manage to get all character notes and presents and don‘t forgett to NOT overwrite the save before start using the special tickets, you can watch between 3 - 6 deepen bonding events each time before you reload with no problem. Only thing, deepened bonds are totally boring this time.. and I hate the fact, that Alisa still supposed to be canon.. I am all for Laura.

Definitely using this for the nightmare playthrough. I used Zoelius for CS1&2 and easily got everything. I used the one from this site and ended up missing a few things, even though I made sure to go over it line by line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
