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

Arte Guide: Unlock Every Skill Tales of Arise 2 adds 45 new artes across all characters. Alphen’s new “Blazing Tempest” (fire-elemental, 35 SP) hits for 1,200% base damage at max rank—one of the strongest AOE moves in the game. Shionne’s “Healing Rain” now scales with her Magic stat, so prioritize that over Attack for support builds. ### Secret Artes (Boss-Only Drops)

**Alphen**: “Inferno Fang” – dropped by the Lord of Calaglia (NG+ only, 10% chance).

**Shionne**: “Celestial Grace” – from the Water Serpent in Cyslodia (you must break its left fin).

**Law**: “Fist of the East” – hidden chest in the Ice Palace, requires a key from the side quest “Frozen Memories.” Pro tip: Use the new “Arte Mastery” skill tree to boost damage by 25% for any arte you use 100 times. Grind on the Training Grounds (unlocked after Chapter 3). ---

Accessory Crafting: From Bronze to Astral Crafting now uses 5 tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Astral. Each tier adds one extra slot for stats. The best early game accessory is the “Defender Ring” (Gold, +15% defense, +5% HP regen). ### Material Farming Guide | Material | Best Location | Drop Rate | |----------|---------------|-----------| | Gleaming Ore | Falgard Highlands (cave entrance) | 45% | | Serpent Scale | Water Serpent boss (Cyslodia) | 100% (1 per kill) | | Astral Shard | Secret dungeon “The Void” (post-game) | 20% | For the endgame “Astral Bangle” (doubles SP gain), you need 5 Astral Shards and 3 Gleaming Ores. Farm the Void’s first room—it respawns every 10 minutes. ---

Fishing Spots: Complete Map Fishing is more than a minigame this time. Each of the 12 spots has a unique fish that drops crafting materials (e.g., “Golden Carp” gives 2 Gleaming Ore per catch). ### All 12 Locations (by Region)

**Calaglia**: 1) Sandfall Ravine pond, 2) Ulzebek bridge, 3) Iglia Wastes oasis.

**Cyslodia**: 4) Ice River, 5) Frozen Lake, 6) Snowy Pass.

**Elde Menancia**: 7) River of Tears, 8) Mystic Marsh.

**Mahavar**: 9) Sunken Ruins, 10) Great Falls.

**Post-game**: 11) The Void’s Edge, 12) Final Boss arena (accessible after credits). ### Best Lures

**Midge Fly**: Catches small fish (e.g., Silver Carp) – buy at Ulzebek general store for 500 gald.

**Crankbait**: Medium fish (e.g., Rainbow Trout) – reward from side quest “The Fisher King” (Chapter 4).

**Golden Lure**: Rare fish (e.g., Golden Carp) – found in a chest in the Falgard Highlands (hidden behind breakable wall). Pro tip: Fish at night for higher rare spawn rates. The “Night Angler” skill (unlocked by catching 20 fish) doubles rare drops. ---

Owl Locations: All 21 Owls are back and trickier to find. Each owl gives 1 SP (Skill Point) and counts toward the “Owl Whisperer” trophy. Missing one? Check these notorious spots. ### Complete List (Partial) 1. **Calaglia** (7 owls): - Sandfall Ravine: on a tree stump behind the waterfall. - Ulzebek: on the inn’s roof (jump from the storage shed). - Iglia Wastes: inside a cracked rock (use Law’s break skill). 2. **Cyslodia** (6 owls): - Ice River: on an iceberg (need boat from side quest). - Frozen Lake: under the bridge (check at night—glows faintly). 3. **Elde Menancia** (5 owls): - River of Tears: in a hollow tree (burn the vines with Alphen’s fire arte). 4. **Mahavar** (3 owls): - Great Falls: behind the waterfall (secret path). 5. **Post-game** (1 owl): - The Void: final room, on the throne. ### Tips

Use the Journal’s “Owl Tracker” feature to see which regions are incomplete.

The “Owl Scope” accessory (crafted from 3 Serpent Scales) highlights nearby owls on the minimap. ---

FAQ **Q: Can I respec skill points in Tales of Arise 2?** A: Yes, visit the Sage in Viscint (Chapter 4+). It costs 1,000 gald per point refunded, but it’s unlimited. I recommend respeccing only after unlocking the “Arte Mastery” tree—don’t waste early SP on filler skills. **Q: What’s the best fishing spot for rare materials?** A: The Ice River in Cyslodia. Use a Golden Lure at night—you’ll catch Golden Carp 60% of the time. Each one gives 2 Gleaming Ore, which speeds up accessory crafting enormously. **Q: I missed an owl in Calaglia. Can I go back?** A: Yes, all regions remain accessible post-game. The only missable owl is in the Final Boss arena (the 21st one)—you have to grab it before starting the final cutscene. Otherwise, you’ll need to reload a save.
