Time Stranger Beginner Tips & Tricks Guide
Trophy Difficulty Breakdown
The Platinum Trophy: Agent of Perfection
Your ultimate goal is Agent of Perfection, which simply requires obtaining every other trophy in the game. Since Time Stranger supports multiple playthroughs, you can tackle this systematically without stress.
Gold Trophy Challenges
The Pinnacle of Existence
Requirement: Complete the game on Mega+ difficulty
This is your biggest challenge. Mega+ difficulty significantly increases enemy stats and AI aggression. Here's how to tackle it:
- Start with easier difficulties to learn enemy patterns
- Focus on Digivolution chains early
- Use the Digifarm extensively for training
- Stock up on healing items before major boss fights
tip
You can change difficulty at any time in the settings menu, but the trophy only counts if you complete the final boss on Mega+.
Beyond Digivolution
Requirement: Register Chronomon: Destroy Mode in the Field Guide
This involves reaching the ultimate Digivolution form. You'll need to progress deep into the story and complete specific evolution requirements.
Grand Slam
Requirement: Become champion of The Greatest OMNI Carnival
Master the card battle system and work your way through tournament brackets. Practice with smaller tournaments first to understand the mechanics.
