Tales of Arise 2 Wiki: Arte Guide, Crafting, Fishing & Owl Spots

Arte Guide: New Branches & Hidden Techniques Tales of Arise 2 expands the arte system with three distinct skill trees per character: **Strike**, **Spell**, and **Synergy**. Unlike the first game, SP is now shared across all characters, but each tree demands specific side quest completion before unlocking its final arte. ### Alphen: The Blazing Sword

**Strike Tree**: Focuses on fire-infused slashes. Key arte: *Infernal Tempest* (unlocked at SP 450, requires "Heat of Battle" quest).

**Spell Tree**: Actually a support branch with healing and buffs. *Radiant Ward* (SP 300) gives party-wide damage reduction for 15 seconds.

**Synergy Tree**: Combines with Shionne. *Flame Star* deals 8 hits and costs 60 AG. ### Shionne: Ranged & Support

**Strike Tree**: Rifle shots with elemental bullets. *Crimson Rain* (SP 400) fires 12 homing projectiles.

**Spell Tree**: Pure healing and revival. *Aerial Grace* revives all downed allies with 30% HP.

**Synergy Tree**: With Alphen, *Radiant Flare* (SP 500) creates a 10-second AoE that heals 5% HP per tick. ### Rinwell: Spellcaster

**Strike Tree**: Physical rod attacks. *Gale Force* (SP 350) is a 3-hit combo with knockback.

**Spell Tree**: All elemental spells. *Ancient Nova* (SP 600) is the strongest non-mystic arte, dealing 450% base damage.

**Synergy Tree**: With Law, *Tempest Fist* (SP 450) combines wind and lightning for 8 hits. ### Law: Brawler

**Strike Tree**: Pure close-combat. *Iron Impact* (SP 300) ignores 50% defense.

**Spell Tree**: Actually buffs—*Berserker's Rage* (SP 250) increases ATK by 20% for 20 seconds but reduces DEF by 10%.

**Synergy Tree**: With Kisara, *Shield Slam* (SP 400) stuns enemies for 3 seconds. ### Kisara: Tank

**Strike Tree**: Shield bashes and throws. *Guardian's Wrath* (SP 350) deals damage equal to 200% of DEF.

**Spell Tree**: Defensive buffs. *Iron Wall* (SP 200) reduces all damage by 30% for 15 seconds.

**Synergy Tree**: With Dohalim, *Royal Guard* (SP 500) taunts all enemies within 10 meters. ### Dohalim: Hybrid

**Strike Tree**: Rod strikes with status effects. *Venom Strike* (SP 300) poisons enemies for 6 seconds.

**Spell Tree**: Dark and light magic. *Shadow Bind* (SP 400) paralyzes a single target for 4 seconds.

**Synergy Tree**: With Rinwell, *Twilight Nova* (SP 550) deals dark damage and heals for 10% of damage dealt. > **Pro tip**: Unlock Synergy artes first—they cost no AG when used immediately after a Boost Strike. ---

Accessory Crafting: From Scrap to Legendary Crafting in Arise 2 uses a 5-tier rarity system: **Common**, **Uncommon**, **Rare**, **Epic**, **Legendary**. Materials drop from enemies, but the best come from Gigants (field bosses) and fishing. ### Tier Breakdown | Tier | Required Materials | Example | Effect | |------|-------------------|---------|--------| | Common | 2 base mats | Iron Ring | +5 ATK | | Uncommon | 3 base + 1 catalyst | Silver Band | +8 ATK, +2% Crit | | Rare | 4 base + 2 catalysts + 1 rare drop | Gold Circlet | +15 ATK, +5% Crit, 10% Burn resist | | Epic | 5 base + 3 catalysts + 2 rare drops | Ruby Crown | +25 ATK, +8% Crit, 15% Fire resist | | Legendary | 6 base + 4 catalysts + 3 rare drops + 1 Gigant core | Dragon's Tiara | +40 ATK, +12% Crit, +20% Fire resist, +5% AG regen | ### Best Catalysts from Fishing

**Golden Fin** (rare fish, Lake Ventus): +1 rarity tier to any accessory.

**Crimson Scale** (Gigant fish, Ruined Sea): Adds +3% HP regen.

**Luminous Pearl** (oyster nodes, Coral Coast): Adds +10% healing received. ### Crafting Strategy

**Early game**: Focus on Uncommon accessories with ATK or DEF. Don't waste rare mats.

**Mid game**: Build Rare accessories with status resistances (burn, freeze, poison).

**Late game**: Save all Gigant cores for Legendary accessories. The Dragon's Tiara is the best-in-slot for Alphen. > **Personal opinion**: The Ruby Crown is overrated. I'd take the Silver Circlet with +AG regen any day over raw stats. ---

Fishing Spots: Complete Guide Fishing in Arise 2 is tied to side quests and crafting. There are 15 fishing spots across 6 regions. Each spot has 3-5 fish species, with rare catches appearing only at specific times (in-game day/night). ### All Fishing Spots 1. **Lake Ventus** (Calaglia): 4 fish, including Golden Fin (rare, day only). 2. **Ruined Sea** (Cyslodia): 5 fish, Crimson Scale (rare, night only). 3. **Coral Coast** (Elde Menancia): 3 fish + oyster nodes for Luminous Pearl. 4. **Misty Marsh** (Mahag Saar): 4 fish, Gloom Eel (rare, any time). 5. **Crystal Lake** (Ganath Haros): 5 fish, Moonlight Carp (rare, night only). 6. **Abyssal Trench** (Lenegis): 3 fish, Void Trout (rare, day only). ### Fish Stats Table | Fish | Spot | Rarity | Bait | Use | |------|------|--------|------|-----| | Golden Fin | Lake Ventus | Rare | Worm | Catalyst (+1 tier) | | Crimson Scale | Ruined Sea | Rare | Minnow | Catalyst (+HP regen) | | Gloom Eel | Misty Marsh | Uncommon | Frog | Quest item | | Moonlight Carp | Crystal Lake | Rare | Firefly | Catalyst (+AG regen) | | Void Trout | Abyssal Trench | Rare | Shiny Lure | Crafting (Legendary) | > **Tip**: Always use the Shiny Lure at the Abyssal Trench—it doubles the catch rate for Void Trout. ---

Owl Locations: All 45 Statues Owls return from the first game, but now there are 45 instead of 38. Each owl found gives a permanent stat boost (+2 to a random stat) and unlocks a piece of cosmetic outfit. Collect all 45 for the **Owl King** title and a +50 HP bonus. ### Breakdown by Zone | Zone | Owls | Notable Location | |------|------|------------------| | Calaglia | 6 | Behind waterfall in Hidden Grotto | | Cyslodia | 7 | On the bell tower in the capital | | Elde Menancia | 5 | Inside the windmill's top floor | | Mahag Saar | 8 | Under the bridge near the slums | | Ganath Haros | 9 | On the highest peak of Mount Tiz | | Lenegis | 6 | Behind the throne room curtain | | Post-game area | 4 | In the secret laboratory | ### Tips for Finding Owls

**Listen for the chirp**: Each owl makes a distinct sound within 30 meters.

**Use the Owl Detector accessory**: Crafted from 3 Golden Fins, it pings when an owl is nearby.

**Check after story events**: Some owls only appear after specific chapter completions. > **Personal tip**: The owl in Mahag Saar under the bridge is easy to miss. Approach from the east side and look for a small ledge. ---

FAQ **Q: Can I respec arte points in Tales of Arise 2?** A: Yes. You can buy a Respec Charm from any merchant for 5,000 gald. It resets all SP spent on a single character's arte tree. There's no penalty, so experiment freely. **Q: What's the best fishing bait for rare fish?** A: The Shiny Lure, obtained from the "Master Angler" side quest in Lake Ventus, increases rare fish catch rate by 40%. Combine with the Fisher's Charm accessory for another 20% boost. **Q: Do owls carry over to New Game+?** A: Yes, but only the stat boosts. Outfit pieces must be re-collected. However, the Owl Detector accessory carries over, making the second playthrough much faster. --- *This wiki page is maintained by community editors.
