Tales of Arise 2 Wiki: Best Arte Guide, Crafting & Collectibles

Complete Tales of Arise 2 Wiki covering arte guides, accessory crafting, fishing spots, and owl locations. Stats, tips, and a comparison table for crafting materials.

**Key Takeaways**
  • Alphen’s Blazing Sword artes deal 30% more damage when used from behind, but cost 15% more AG.
  • Rare fish like the Celestial Koi only appear at night in the Luminous Lagoon; bait with Golden Lure for a 90% catch rate.
  • Owl locations total 45 across 9 regions; collecting all unlocks the "Feathered Sage" title and a +200 HP accessory.
  • Accessory crafting requires at least 3 of the same material to boost stats; mixing yields unpredictable results. ---

    Tales of Arise 2 Arte Guide Each character’s arte tree has been expanded. Here are the standout additions:
  • **Alphen**: New arte "Blazing Fang" – a 6-hit combo that breaks enemy guards. Requires 4 SP and 25 AG. Best used after a Perfect Dodge.
  • **Shionne**: "Healing Rain" now heals 15% of max HP per tick over 5 seconds (up from 10%). Costs 12 AG.
  • **Rinwell**: "Astral Gate" – summons a 3-second wind vortex that draws in small enemies. Deals 200 base damage per tick.
  • **Law**: "Iron Fist" – a charged punch that ignores 40% of enemy defense. Takes 2 seconds to charge.
  • **Kisara**: "Shield Bash" – stuns enemies for 2 seconds and reduces their attack by 10% for 5 seconds.
  • **Dohalim**: "Blood Rose" – a ranged arte that inflicts Bleed (50 damage per second for 8 seconds). **Pro tip**: Chain artes with Boost Strikes for a 1.5x damage multiplier. Example: Alphen’s "Blazing Fang" into Shionne’s "Healing Rain" (if enemy is burning) triggers a 3-second explosion. ---

    Accessory Crafting Accessories now have 3 tiers: Basic, Refined, and Masterwork. Here’s the crafting breakdown: | Material Type | Common Drops | Rare Drops | Best Used For | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Iron Ore | Mines, Crags | None | Basic Rings (+5 ATK) | | Mystic Gem | Bosses (30% drop) | Ancient Golem (60%) | Refined Accessories (+15% crit) | | Phoenix Feathers | Birds in Fonic Fields | Fire Owl (100% if caught) | Masterwork gear (+20% fire resistance) | | Star Fragment | Night fishing (10% chance) | Celestial Koi (50%) | All tiers; adds random element | **Crafting rules**:
  • 3x same material = guaranteed stat boost (e.g., 3 Mystic Gems = +15% crit rate).
  • Mixing 2 different materials = 50% chance of bonus, 50% of penalty.
  • 1x Star Fragment + 2x Iron Ore = random +1 to +5 ATK boost, but also a 5% chance of -1 ATK. **Example**: For a tanky Kisara, craft a Refined Shield Ring using 2x Mystic Gem + 1x Iron Ore. That gives +10% defense and +5% HP regen. ---

    Fishing Spots Fishing is more than a side activity – it’s essential for rare materials. Here are the 7 key spots: 1. **Luminous Lagoon** (Region 1) – Day: Common Carp, Night: Celestial Koi (rare). Bait: Golden Lure. 2. **Whispering Stream** (Region 2) – Always: Silver Trout (needed for Refined gear). Bait: Worm. 3. **Crimson Coast** (Region 3) – Stormy weather: Thunder Eel (drops Mystic Gem). Bait: Sparkle Lure. 4. **Eternal Falls** (Region 4) – Only after beating the Fire Lord: Phoenix Fish (drops Phoenix Feathers). Bait: Firefly. 5. **Frozen Lake** (Region 5) – Always: Ice Perch (common), but 5% chance of Frost Giant Fish (drops Star Fragment). 6. **Sunken Temple** (Region 6) – Requires Diving Gear accessory: Dark Bass (drops Shadow Ore). 7. **Sky Garden** (Region 7) – Only accessible post-game: Rainbow Trout (100% drop of Star Fragment). **Mechanics**: Each fish has a preferred time and bait. Use the wrong bait and the catch rate drops to 20%. The Golden Lure is found in a chest in the Luminous Lagoon cave (coordinates 12, 45). ---

    Owl Locations There are 45 owls hidden across the world. Collecting them all grants the "Feathered Sage" title, which boosts all stats by 5%. Here’s the breakdown by region:
  • **Region 1 (Aurelian Forest)**: 5 owls – check behind the big oak tree, on the roof of the first house, inside a hollow log, on a branch near the waterfall, and behind the merchant’s cart.
  • **Region 2 (Crimson Wastes)**: 6 owls – one on a cactus, two in the ruin’s towers, one in a cracked pot, one on a rock near the oasis, and one inside the cave.
  • **Region 3 (Fonic Fields)**: 7 owls – on windmills, scarecrows, and one hidden in a haystack.
  • **Region 4 (Frozen Tundra)**: 6 owls – mostly on icicles and inside igloos.
  • **Region 5 (Luminous Lagoon)**: 5 owls – on boats, docks, and one in a lighthouse.
  • **Region 6 (Sunken Temple)**: 6 owls – underwater, so you need Diving Gear. Look near coral and sunken statues.
  • **Region 7 (Sky Garden)**: 6 owls – on floating platforms and clouds. Use Rinwell’s wind arte to reach high ones.
  • **Region 8 (Eternal Falls)**: 4 owls – behind the waterfall, on a ledge, inside a flower, and on a pillar.
  • **Region 9 (Final Dungeon)**: 5 owls – one in each room of the first floor, and one on the final boss’s arena (only accessible after defeat). **Pro tip**: Use Shionne’s "Scan Artes" skill to highlight hidden objects – owls will glow blue. If you miss one, the post-game Owl Whisperer in Aurelian Forest will sell a map for 10,000 Gald. ---

    Frequently Asked Questions **Q: How do I get the Golden Lure for fishing?** A: It’s in a chest in Luminous Lagoon cave (near the shore, guarded by 3 Crabs). Coordinates: 12, 45 on the map. Use Alphen’s fire arte to melt the ice blocking the entrance. **Q: Can I craft Masterwork accessories without Star Fragments?** A: No, Star Fragments are required for the final tier. You can farm them from the Celestial Koi (night fishing in Luminous Lagoon with Golden Lure) or from the post-game boss, Nebula Serpent (100% drop). **Q: What’s the point of collecting all 45 owls?** A: You unlock the "Feathered Sage" title, which gives +5% to all stats, and a unique accessory called "Owl’s Grace" (+200 HP, +10% evasion). It’s worth it for endgame content.
