Star Ocean: The Last Hope Tips & Hints

Synthesis 101

Synthesis is a new mechanic that will be unlocked in item creation as soon as Sarah joins the team. In simpler terms, synthesizing an item means that you’re upgrading it. The good thing about synthesis is that you can combine even the simplest food item to a weapon, armor and accessory. Be careful though; synthesis is permanent. An item can only have up to four factors or additional effects.

Synthesis is fairly simple. Choose a weapon, armor or accessory you want to synthesize, then choose an item you want to combine it to. The game will let you see a preview of the bonuses to help you finally decide what to combine. Different items have different effects; some add ample bonuses to the stats or provide additional effects like auto-counter or attack absorption.

Some items that you may consider combining are the following:

  • Natto, Barrier Breakwater - +10-15% resistance of all status ailments

  • Crystal – increase chances of critical hits

  • Angel Feather + - +20 to all stats

  • Seeds - +XX% to various stats

  • Various foods - +FOL, +EXP, various stats

  • Fainting Potion - +80 guard

  • Minerals - add elemental damage to attacks, shoots elemental projectile when attacked

Synthesizing an item will change its name (e.g. “item-R01”) to help you identify which item you have synthesized, if ever you have multiple copies of that item. Accessories are your best option to synthesize, since you don’t need to change them often unlike weapons and armors.

Hide and Seek

After getting Bacchus and if Lymle mentions that she and Bacchus are playing hide and seek, you'll notice that Bacchus is nowhere to be found. To find him, go to the men's bathroom and continously open the door. He should appear there briefly.

Boy's / Girl's Giftboxes

These are M-sized ship furnishing that will randomly generate items after sleeping/resting. The items are very random, ranging from basic items, very cheap amount of fol or to ultra-rare minerals and materials. You can save first before opening the boxes and reload if you get mundane items.

Centropolis' Secret Shop

There is a hidden shop in En II's Centropolis area. It is located to the farthest right of the Capsule Resort inn, by the grassy area.

Secret Dungeon: Cave of the Seven Stars

After you have beaten the game once, reload your save and enter the left door up the stairs after the final save point which allows you to fight the Undying Dragon. Once you beat the dragon, you receive the Darkness Ring. Go back to the Colosseum in Tatroi and go to the end of the left hallway on the first floor. Use the Darkness Ring on the Glyph in the wall to uncover the secret entrance to the dungeon.



 

Wandering Dungeon

To unlock the final bonus dungeon in SO4, you need to defeat Gabriel Celeste at the end of the Cave of the Seven Stars. After that, you simply take the elevator in En II down to the Old Road to Sanctuary and speak to Barago. Barago will then take you to the entrance. Monsters here appear as shadowy zombies, so you never know which enemies you'll be facing in combat, and each floor is randomly generated every time you step in. There are no save or restoration spots, and the final boss of this dungeon is 20 floors in.

If you leave the dungeon, the floors are randomly generated again, and you must start over. After defeating the Ethereal Queen on the 20th floor the dungeon goes on for as many floors as you like, simply repeating the bosses of the 19th and 20th floors.



 

Infinite berries, synthesis items

After getting Reimi for the first time, there is a harvest point near the save point, just outside of the Calnus. It is replenished as soon as you enter the ship so enter/exit the ship after every harvest to get an unlimited amount of blueberries, aquaberries, some quest and item creation components, etc.

Pickpocketing 101

Woodley is the first location in the game where you can start pickpocketing people, animals – and even your team mates (while inside the ship). Before you start pickpocketing like crazy, I must warn you that each of your party memnbers has a 2 or 3/ 10 chance of “catching” you stealing. Unfortunately, they won’t react and you’ll have no clue as to when you’ve been caught or not. But one thing is for sure though; if they caught you in the act, you’ll automatically lose an affinity point (your relationship for your party members will be affected negatively) so pickpocket ONLY if the target has a rare or uncommon item. Most of the items that you can get can be bought or simply trash so you shouldn’t have any problems deciding who to steal from.

First, you must teach Edge the Pickpocketing manual that can be bought from the bookstore. Purchase a Bandit’s Glove and equip it to him as a wrist accessory. Approach your target and press B to attempt pickpocketing. Your chances of success depends on your current skill level for pickpocketing vs the character’s pickpocketing resistance (also with levels 1-10). You can attempt as many times as it takes; however, they will only carry one item at a time. A pickpocketing list will added in various locations as you go through this guide so make use of it to help you decide your targets.

Easy money (early in the game)

Once you reached the Van Elm Region in Lemuris, max out the analysis of the Apprentice Scumbag and transfer it to a Monster Jewel.

The Scumbag’s jewel will allow you to earn an additional 15% fol after every battle – an indispensable way of getting rich early in the game!

Monster Analysis Tip

There are certain monsters that appear once per monster group. To increase your chances of encountering two of them per monster group, let them surprise attack you. This doesn't work on all monsters though. There are monsters that will always appear as a single unit per monster group, no matter how you initiated the battle.

Continue using Faize instead of Arumat

If you start a new game from your cleared gamesave, you will have the option to keep Faize in your party after the long battle against the Phantom Soldiers. However, Arumat will still appear during cutscenes and you can't trigger the Private Actions meant for Arumat.
