17 Tips I Wish I Knew Before Starting Tales Of Arise [Beginners Guide]

[@DearGamerTV]

Thanks for watching everyone! Subscribe if your new ;)

[@JMrealgamer]

Lol! These guys are too strong! Let’s go to a different area! I love saying that myself! Ain’t nothin like a strong party! Awesome vid brotha man!

[@b3at2]

Yo, you a Bajan?

[@axx012]

How do I buy back weapons I have sold? I have gone to inns and firecamp spots but they don't have any of the weapons I sold off and I need them in order to upgrade.

[@HARBRINGERZERO]

I straight up appreciate this type of video because I’ve seen some channels that have tips like “Here’s 10 tips the game doesn’t tell you. Tip#1 Turn on the system to play the game.” They straight up put some basic info the game tells you as a tip. That’s just disrespectful. Appreciate this video my dude. Subbed.

[@DearGamerTV]

Appreciate you fam

[@kriminallogic2283]

I felt same way, Subbed for the wealth of info and care into what you do. Thanks Fam!

[@wacktastic1]

Another tip is always go camping once every hour to bond with a party member. This will be tied to getting the second mystic artes

[@DearGamerTV]

Ahh!! Good one

[@MayHugger]

Thank you for this. Had no idea.

[@pforgottonsoul]

i had been doing that just casually over the course of the game i didn't figure out till the end of the game that it was tied to mystic arts( i never really get the second mystic arts since i suck at combos anyway.)

[@GamingWithAce85]

Yea, but I hate that each character only gets TWO mystic artes in Arise. In most other tales games, Xillia 2, Zestiria, Berseria for example, each character has 3 or more mystic rates! Even team mystic artes are in other Tales games, where teammates together do mystic artes! I think two is just too little.

[@Ellesdy1]

When does this start? I've known this from the beginning and have Rin in my party already and have no options to bond with anyone or have ever seen any other than the standard reminisce tab and the R1 Option "when" available and thats not the bond episodes and menus I keep seeing??

[@LethalxHeart]

DONT SLEEP ON RINWELL! I solo almost all the close range bosses with her. Her magic combos are godlike. If you chain combo her big artes with her ultimate attack you can easily rack up 20-30k damage early in the game.

[@adz5838]

I literally just did a comment about this serious people probably go along thinking she’s shit those spell combos are serious news hahah

[@jordanhatt6824]

Dude i fought an enemy and I'm the background rinwell went nuclear

[@adz5838]

@@jordanhatt6824 serious if you store away spells and release holy lord

[@TMind109]

4 months later i bought the game for the 1st time, a really good decision i made was switching to Rinwell once i unlocked her to try her playstyle and figure her out now my dumb self played the tutorial on auto mode just because i thought i affected everyone NO!! just the character im using i won't git gud unless i play the game for myself (AI companions are always auto so only customise team strategy) anyways i like using Rinwell and her spells are flashy AF especially the 3rd tier

[@Islamic_Videos_24_7]

Which artes did u use on her

[@perandersson3977]

Great points :) My biggest hurdle right now is getting gold in the game. It feels like I'm always broke lol. Tip 18: Read up on monster weaknesses for each area and then select the appropriate party members and arts for it.

[@gameguru42392]

Dunno how far you are but i got some decent gold by selling drops from the dungeons both before you fight the boss before cysloden and before the 2nd lord. Just have to rest and enemies will respawn.

[@BRUTALSHANZ1988]

At 8:11 CP not only heals but it is a vital component for Shionne or Dohalim to use Resurrection artes. Imagine my shock when on playthrough 1 on Day 1 when going up ahead the 1st Lord Balseph and I had a few Life Bottles on me and once Alphen went down I then got Shionne to use all of my Life Bottles during the fight. What made me feel stupid is the fact that Shionne has a Resurrection arte from the very first moment she fights alongside you at Level 1 upon starting my 2nd playthrough when in past Tales games you had to reach a certain level to use Resurrection. With this in mind I decided to completely throw out everything I had learned in past Tales Games since this little change meant that Arise is not going to be the same. All in all Tales of Arise was so enjoyable and the learning curve was my most fun part in learning about the nuances of the differences between past and present Tales games.

[@warriorfromhammerfell1557]

Currently over 40 hours on the game.. my tip is use CP on EVERYTHING you stumble upon EVERYWHERE. May it be barrier to break down, an ice wall to melt, people to heal or astral barrier to dispel.. All of them have something worth obtaining

[@Ddubble21]

Thanks man. Appreciate the tip

[@ZaxFSO8083]

Yup almost every single thing helps or unlocks something useful.

[@Todzuum]

Also do the side quests that require to beat a sub boss Zuegle. You get +10 cp.

[@givensprescott]

One tip he should have mentioned is: [Don't Sell your Weapons] like I did :( They will be used to upgrade to a higher version. If you do you will have to spend more money and materials to remake them in order to upgrade them.

[@gameguru42392]

Oh...oops.

[@MayHugger]

@@gameguru42392 If you’re not too far in, it won’t cost too much to get them back.

[@Vdubbz]

Yea made that same mistake. Was like "wow these weapons suck now, looks like I won't be needing these 🙄" ... *sees all part 2 weapons afterwards* 😑

[@MayHugger]

@@Vdubbz After I saw the first part 2 weapon, I started stockpiling every weapon lol.

[@goofsaddggkle7351]

sob….just now reading this : ( My guys just finished the Dohalim section

[@MadaxeMunkeee]

I’m at 16 hours going through the story at a leisurely pace and started feeling minimax anxiety/nervousness that my play was sub-optimal so I went looking for videos and this is the best one that I’ve found so thank you 🙏🏽 This is the kind of stuff I wanted to know. It’s cool that the game fundamentally just wants you to enjoy it and go through the story without too much grinding etc. The biggest thing I missed so far was crafting accessories. I didn’t want to do it because I couldn’t tell which of my materials were rare or which effects I wanted to keep. I’m at the dungeon with rinwell vs the big marlboro looking boss so maybe I’ll try crafting some anti-poison stuff to start off.

[@ruukinen]

Just craft what looks good at the moment. Until you get tier 5 accessory materials, what you get is garbage anyway that you'll only use to unlock the skills on your crafted accessories.

[@Royalties247]

"Bosses don't break" You spitting 🔥 my guy

[@darknesswave100]

You cant cancel out of combos but you can cancel out of the endings of combos. For example with Alphen's dragon swarm arte you can cancel out of the last hit by dodging so he doesnt stand there for a sec after the arte is done. Also I've found that alphen's soaring light spear arte is best used at the end of a combo if you're gonna use it since it knocks the enemy back a significant amount. So an example I've used a ton is lightning strike to get up into the air then Lunar Rondo then hurricane thrust then either vacuum waves or soaring light spear to end it

[@rkbelmont1138]

You can turn on/off the artes you want characters AI to cast. If you fight a wind weak enemy, turn off all Rinwells artes except for wind so she atack only with those.

[@RiggsHB]

This is quite helpful. I've been having a little trouble early on not really grasping what does what and really appreciate the tips. Thanks much friend.

[@Wikidsik]

2 things i want to add. 1) Cure points (CP) are also used for map actions, a lot of the time equipment is hidden behind these. this is another reason to save CP where you can. 2) you can only carry 15 of a specific item i.e. life bottles. so dont be afraid to use them should you be at cap or near it. as if you find items in the wild, you wont be able to collect them. One more thing to add after playing as rinwell. Mystic atres stop what ever your casting or whatever you have just released.

[@LightYagami2010]

There's an additional item you can buy in the Microsoft Store to boost the limit to 99

[@techneko1610]

@@LightYagami2010 And sadly that is restricted behind DLC instead of being a nice NG+ bonus like in previous games.

This is a good video and actually has some useful tips; other videos I've watched haven't included much useful information, particularly related to combat.

[@RomanJr316]

Thank you for spending the long time to make this video, man. It’s very helpful. I’m a Tales veteran so I know a lot but at the end of the day Arise is a new Tales game and your video was very helpful. Thank you

[@CeruleanAether]

I’m playing this game a year late and on unknown only. What I find is, as long as you’re farming materials from monsters, and cooking to increase your yield, and keeping up the level 5 combo chain, you’ll have so much gald, you can afford to splurge on anything you want. Even made orange gel maxing a breeze.

[@wander1027]

Great tips! Lots of things not clearly explained in the game here. I was coasting through the game chill without paying much attention to mechanics or anything until I got to the second boss which made me respect the games difficulty lol and this was on normal. I was under the impression the game would be easy as these big games lately are coming so dumbed down but boy was I wrong. I havent seen it mentioned anyware but I even think its more convenient to put the game on moderate or hard since it gives more multiplier and the power difference between normal mobs and bosses is huge, making normal mobs fight way too easy and quick compared to bosses.

[@ruukinen]

You also get less exp on higher difficulties. Ganabelt was an absolute bitch on Hard. After him it gets easier since you have more customization options.

[@sonryu1934]

I'm interested in getting this game now, thanks for the tips DG. Look forward to more of your contents. I plan to get it for sure

[@DearGamerTV]

Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it

[@daniel.acevedo]

Just picked up Tales of Arise. I'm about 10 hours in and this was a huge help. I've played other JRPG's like Persona, Dragon Quest, and Fire Emblem, but this is my first Tales game and there's a lot I don't know. Thanks!

[@caravaneerkhed]

I recommend putting your party members on stand by when you want to learn the mechanics of a character better, also I’m pretty sure you can change artes mid combat, so if you find a strong enough enemy you could use them as a punching bag to practice… or I think theres a dlc training room? But idk how to access it

[@Shinsenn]

there's an artifact called "blades of sealing" which makes everyones (including the enemy) damage to do 1 damage. Its perfect to practice on even the weakest enemy

[@adz5838]

This is late but I actually didn’t realise this til second play through so not underestimate Rinwell. If you charge her spells and store them away when you eventually release the spell say you just charged thunder blade twice you’ll get a holy lance attack etc Rinwell is lit as hell

[@RomanJr316]

I just subscribed because this video. Thanks again, brother. Can’t wait to see more and learn more about you and your channel. Obviously I just joined today so I haven’t checked your videos out.

You can still do aerial attacks even if bosses don't break rising up still does damage and aerial attacks still do damage so changing artes layout is not necessary. PS Don't sell your old weapons they are used to craft higher level weapons.

Awesome tips but can I just say that the "Don't Farm too much" tip is a bit off. I mean I get the EXP part but farming for SP is a bit different and every little bit counts since you need to improve your character to get stronger.

[@xlysdexicx9072]

@@DearGamerTV im going through the game right now on the 3rd difficulty doing everything i can, farming, doing all side quests, basically everything i can. but at every significant battle in the story, the bosses are always like 5+ lvls higher than me. i can only assume either this difficulty is broken, or they are heavily limiting exp to promote the dlc lvl packs. to be honest this problem is the main issue i have with this game

On first play through on unknown difficulty. Change strategy and put first priority if own self 50%, then shionne cast first aid. Second, cast shionne healing circle if ally below 50%. Another tip, if Rinwell keeps dying, play as her. I was fighting a fire zeugle mini boss several levels higher. Rinwell died like crazy, couldn't beat the boss because the ai is beyond stupid. She's a mage and she keeps going melee range. Play as her if she's feeding too much. Besides alphen couldn't do much damage anyway cause fire on fire.

[@jabrark5828]

1:18 wait, I've always just been spamming my abilities in combos together stringing my attack count up for a single volley, does that not solve this problem? 👁️👄👁️

[@cdnm47ify]

Welcome to the channel Today Toooodaaaay!!! Let's dive in.... Never gets old😁😁

[@brianbalcer]

for not being able to break a boss, the ariel attacks are still really good considering most the bosses are really big and your knock up or ariel attacks will bring you up to their face level. I can see changing the artes to faster casting artes though. Like, I enjoy using Plasma Shock but it is a pretty long combo and can lead you to taking some damage. When up against a boss I normally switch it out for something faster like the lightning thrust or Severing Wind to get myself into the air. Also, as far as the farming goes, yeah your exp will get lower and lower if you are fighting the same stuff as you level up... But for a Tales games you are also farming SP for your skill tree and also Arte usage to get them stronger. So, it's still worth grinding even if not getting top notch exp. One thing that I did learn from your video has me feeling really stupid. I recently crafted accessories for everyone and spent a lot of time farming high grade materials and getting the 4 skills I wanted transferred for everyone. But, I never enhanced those accessories. I should have known better since the skills were not lit up. I just spent all night taking care of a lot of the end game side quest bosses and this would have really helped lol. Glad I got it done now though before I make my final push. In the back of my head I thought something was weird when I wasn't really noticing a difference after adding the x4 Counterattack bonus lol.
