Enemies don't yield lootonly items that can actually be used during the trials.Įnemies that must be defeated to complete the stage do not drop itemsapart from the initial Stage 45 enemies that must be defeated before the proper trial enemy appears.

The optional spawns tend to have a very low chance of dropping an Elixir when killed. Some enemies are optional spawns, and if the player discovers how to spawn them, they can usually be poached. The main enemies tend to yield equipment, and the regular enemies that accompany them often give useful motes and healing items. The enemies yield different items than in the main game. Almost all enemies can be stolen from with the same success chance as in the main game equipping Thief's Cuffs improves success rate. The player obtains items from the enemies and from the treasures placed on the battlefield.

For example, against the Ba'Gamnan gang, defeating the leader will end the fight, therefore his allies are optional. Optional means that specific enemy is not mandatory to defeat to pass the trial, and is not even necessary for it to appear. Any status effects present on a character, beneficial or negative, are retained from one stage to the next. In The Zodiac Agethe game also performs an auto-save at the beginning of every stage, up to Stage 99, which means player may only transfer items obtained up to Stage 99 as there's no auto-save needed for the transfer back to main game after clearing Stage There is no shop accessible between stages, so the player should bring as many useful items as possible before starting the Trial Mode.Įach stage also has treasure chestsand the enemies yield various items and equipment. The player can save their game, return to the title screen, and start Trial Mode again from Stage 1. At Stage 50, the player should exit back to the title screenload their game save to lose the trial progress the player keeps the Ribbon. For example, if the player wants Ribbons from Stage 49, they should steal one, beat the floor, and go to the next one. In this version, it is possible to farm items from the Trial Mode. In The Zodiac Age version, players can save Trial Mode data to their main game save and receive items, but overwriting that save with a main game save will erase the Trial Mode progress. The mode has stages, and after completing each 10th stage, the player can save their progress and receive a reward. Using the save data from the game, the Trial Mode will load the characters and their current statswhich means if there are guests in the data, they will be loaded into the Trial Mode as well.
