Earlier than I moved on from Atelier Elie, I needed to get what is perhaps known as the “finest” ending, the place she and Marlone turn into “true” alchemists. In my first submit on the sport I outlined the way in which to get this ending.
These “marie level” occasions should not simple to activate. Even on my replay, understanding what the occasions had been, I used to be caught at 7 factors for some time as a result of I couldn’t get the mandatory issues to occur.
What I finally found out is that the occasion with Mirukasse requires your friendship to be above a sure level. Usually while you pray on the church nothing occurs, however for those who go on a day ending in 5 she’s going to ask for a donation and that will increase the friendship. I did this a couple of occasions and the occasion lastly occurred the place she requested me what my purpose/dream was. That is complicated as a result of I used to be fairly certain this occasion occurred on my first playthrough however as a result of my alchemy stage wasn’t excessive sufficient, I didn’t have the choice to reply within the appropriate manner. However given what occurred on this playthrough it appears unlikely my friendship along with her was excessive sufficient to activate that occasion so early within the sport — maybe I used to be misremembering another query that she requested.
In any case, after getting the mandatory factors you simply need to get Marlone’s friendship as much as 70 — I’m not precisely certain how the friendship works, however for those who simply hold going out to assemble objects you’ll ultimately get there. I feel you may simply go to the close by forest and instantly go away, and simply repeat till it’s 70.
Lastly, it’s good to increase Alchemy stage to 40, go do an occasion within the distant metropolis the place you first get Marlone, after which increase Alchemy stage to 45.
I’m not sure precisely what essentially the most environment friendly option to get alchemy ranges is; I don’t know for those who get extra expertise for extra sophisticated objects, or what. I did ultimately hit on a technique that raised the extent fairly rapidly.
Principally I spent a month or so crafting new objects (or working in direction of that purpose). I had 5 fairies that had been all gathering objects from the distant locations. After that, I’d go to the tavern.
You get expertise from doing requests, so I’d do as lots of the “wealthy” requests as I might — even when I needed to do them with cheaper objects that lowered my reputation, I used to be at all times capable of get better that via doing the common requests or having not less than 1 or 2 of the wealthy requests go effectively.
After that I’d typically take one of many bar requests, fulfill that, after which craft extra objects till the month was over. With this methodology I used to be capable of attain stage 45 pretty rapidly.
The ending is pretty brief; Ingrid is happy that each Marlone and Elie have found the true which means of alchemy, they usually every go on their separate methods to proceed to good their craft.
At this level I felt like I had gotten sufficient out of this sport. It’s enjoyable, however the system remains to be primitive sufficient that it begins to really feel tedious and restricted after some time. I might have gotten the opposite 5 or so endings, or tried to fill out my merchandise guide (it’s at 183 out of 200 objects), or tried to go for a number of the “love” associated occasions. However in the long run the sport is only a bit too formulaic to play it that a lot.
The subsequent Atelier video games are ports of Marie and Elie to the Recreation Boy in 2000; from what I perceive these should not simply ports/remakes however semi new video games. I in all probability gained’t play them a lot however I’ll see what they’re like. The precise third Atelier sport is Lilie, which got here out for the PS2 in 2001.
