TALES OF INNOCENCE R
A Walkthrough by Fragrant Elephant <
[email protected]>
Version 1.0
June 23, 2013
===============================================================================
Tales of Innocence R (TOI-R) is the 2012 PlayStation Vita remake of a Nintendo
DS game released in Japan in 2007. It is the ninth game in the Tales series.
TOI-R is available in the US as an import.
The game focuses on Luca Milda, a young boy who has dreams of the ancient
world and of being Asura, the leader of a rebellious faction that aimed to
unite heaven and earth. Luca's country is in the grip of war, and rumors are
spreading about "inoushas," or people with unusual talents. Luca's power
comes awake when he tries to protect Ilia, an "inousha" being pursued by the
religious group Alca.
Luca and Ilia are joined by others like themselves, reincarnated beings from
heaven. Together, they set out on a journey to find what caused heaven's
destruction during ancient times, and the root of the world's imbalance.
TOI-R features a lot of standard RPG elements, such as cooking, special
abilities, costumes, and so on. It can be completed fairly quickly, and
replayed for bonus features.
===============================================================================
CONTROLS
===============================================================================
D-Pad Movement and menu selection.
Left stick Movement and menu selection.
Right stick Change camera angle on world map.
L Center camera on world map; toggle between item types.
R Mini-map on field; toggle between item types.
Start Pause battle; skip event.
Select View skits.
Circle Interact; confirm.
X Cancel; perform Arts during combat.
Square Toggle between Style types.
Triangle Menu; toggle between Style activation and equip menus.
===============================================================================
MENU ITEMS
===============================================================================
--------
| ARTS |
--------
Lists the character's learned Arts. Players can assign shortcut buttons to
selected Arts; e.g. Luca's "Explode" can be assigned to X, or Up + X, Down +
X, or Left/Right + X.
Shortcuts can also be changed during battle by pressing the menu button and
accessing ARTS, on the right.
---------
| ITEMS |
---------
During the first playthrough, gamers can only hold up to fifteen of any one
item. Use the L and R buttons to toggle between item types, such as weapons,
ingredients, etc.
-------------
| EQUIPMENT |
-------------
Each character gets a weapon, body armor, helmet, accessory, and a title.
Players choose which item offers the best stats per character.
---------
| STYLE |
---------
Characters can activate and equip Styles based on their AP and CP. In the
activation menu, players can access a Style (e.g. Flare Rise 1, which
increases Luca's fire-based attacks) by paying the cost in AP. AP can be
gained in battle.
Players must then go to the equip menu by pressing Triangle, and equip the
selected Style by pressing Circle. The number of Styles that can be equipped
depends on its CP cost and the character's remaining CP. For example, Speed
Item 3 costs 2 CP to equip, so the character must have that amount of CP or
more to equip it.
The Capacity Up Style costs AP, but not CP. It increases characters' CP, so
players should activate it as soon as possible. It looks like big "C," and
several become available over the course of the game.
More Styles can be unlocked as characters gain levels, or when certain events
occur.
--------
| RAVE |
--------
Rave becomes available a few hours into the game. Rave is connected to Grade
points accumulated by defeating enemies, and increased by completing missions
during combat (e.g. "No damage to the lead character."). Grade points can be
traded in Grade shops for Recipes, bonuses, and abilities. The abilities list
can be accessed by pressing L or R while in the shop menu to toggle to the
symbol that looks like a round blue stone. From there, players can choose
an ability that improves battle performance, healing, or item collection.
In combat, the Rave counter is a gauge on the upper left of the battle screen
that fills up whenever characters successfully land attacks, and decreases
when characters get hit. The Rave gauge can cycle up to four levels, and
players can equip abilities that the gauge will unlock whenever it hits that
level.
For instance, Regen 1, a level 1 Rave, recovers 4% HP at regular intervals
during battle. Meanwhile, Team Attack 4, a level 4 Rave ability, increases
everyone's attack power by 15% once the Rave counter fills up to that level.
-------------------
| COMBAT SETTINGS |
-------------------
Here, players can choose tactics for each character. There are three columns:
fighting style, TP preservation, and OVL. Fighting style choices include
a balanced approach, a full-out attack, a varied approach, a defensive
approach, a support focus, and a healing focus. Then players can choose how
much TP the characters should preserve during combat: none, 25%, 50%, or 75%.
Finally, OVL initially has two choices: use when the OVL gauge fills up, or
don't use at all. This matters more for the AI, because OVL lets characters
move faster and use up less TP for Arts. Later on, players can choose whether
the AI will activate OVL when the Rave gauge hits a certain level.
Players can also assign tactic shortcuts in this menu. L and R can toggle
between those shortcuts. For example, tactic 1 could have Luca fighting at
full strength, preserving 25% TP, and using OVL when available. Tactic 2
could have him be a supportive fighter, use up to 50% TP, and not use OVL.
And so on.
The other section of Combat Settings lets players choose where the characters
are on the combat map. Swordsmen and fist fighters should be up front; and
gunners and spell casters should be in the back.
___________
| COOKING |
___________
In Tales of Innocence R, Recipes have various effects on the party: they can
restore HP or TP, enhance defense, remove status abnormalities, and so on.
Recipes can be bought at Grade shops, or received after conversations with NPCs
(non-playable characters). Recipe ingredients can be bought at item shops,
found in chests, or or are dropped by enemies.
Certain Recipes require advanced cooking levels for success, so choose the
chef wisely.
__________
| STATUS |
__________
Shows each character's offense, defense, Arts attack, Arts defense, element
affiliation, etc. Also has a page that shows what the other characters think
of that character. The thoughts change according to their level of connection.
___________
| LIBRARY |
___________
Contains the Monster Book, Synopsis, Battle Book, and Record. The Monster Book
lists defeated enemies; the Synopsis points to where you've been and where to
go next; the Battle Book explains elements of the combat system; and the Record
shows how long you've been playing, number of defeated enemies, greatest amount
of damage dealt, fastest combat time, etc.
----------
| SYSTEM |
----------
Save, load, or configure here. Players can save anytime on the world map, or
on the glowing circles. The game can be loaded from the last save point at
any time.
===============================================================================
STORY (Spoilers!)
===============================================================================
In the beginning there was a giant. It became lonely and created Heaven and the
gods. But evil gods were also born, and those were cast out of Heaven and down
to Earth, where the prayers of the faithful sustained Heaven.
Heaven became divided between Latio, ruled by a council of four, and Census,
led by Asura. Census sought to unite heaven and earth, but Latio believed
that unification would only cause chaos.
Thousands of years later, Heaven no longer exists, and Earth is gripped by
perpetual war. "Inoushas," or people with unusual talents, are now being
arrested. They are in fact "tenseishas" -- reincarnated beings from Heaven.
Luca, Asura's reincarnation, meets Ilia, his lover Innana's rebirth. Both set
out on a journey to recover their memories and find out what caused the
destruction of Heaven. Along the way, they are joined by fellow tenseishas.
Together, they will find the truth about the past.

After the party splits up, grab the Miso from the house in the center of town.

Take the split north for a room with a Weak Charm and a Squid Recipe.
Return to the split and go down and right into a room with statues and torch
stands. Press Square to light the torches in the correct order with Conway's
Sorcerer Ring. Basically, you light the torch that the statue seems to be
looking at. Start at the entrance, then light the one above it, then the one
to the left. Next, hit the one adjacent, then the one above it. Finally,
light the torch at the center of the room, then the one in the southeast
corner, the one to the left of it, and lastly, the one on the southwest. Get
the chest with the Holy Bottle. Go through the door and up the hall.
At the split, turn right for 1300 gald and Radishes. Return and continue left

the final Stone, and go through the door leading to the next area.
The third area is symmetric and combines torch-lighting and Stone-moving.
First, make the water levels rise in the two rooms with a torch and a treasure
chest by pushing the boulders into the wall. The boulders are in rooms in the
leftmost and rightmost parts of the screen.
Next, light all seven torches. There are three in the middle area, and two
pairs each above and below them. Once the torches are lit and the door opens,
return to the boulders and return them to their original position so you can
access the chests later on. Proceed through the central hallway.
In the final screen, go down and left, and down and right, for a Specific and
a Kagutsuchi. Then go up for a save point and a scene. When you go to leave,
Chiseto shows up for a fight. She's weak against Fire and Light, but she's
also incredibly speedy, so bring your A game to this showdown!
Your party's next destination is Garam. Leave the Tombs and return to the
docks at Ashihara.
----------------
| Garam Harbor |

Follow the path until you see a shiny object in a hollow space to the right.
You can now break up small piles of rock. Use this ability to find a Holy
Bottle above you and to the left. Continue up and turn right. Breaking up the
rock pile here will reveal a boulder, so go down for now. Examine the shiny
object for explosives. In this section, there's a Poison Check and a Pasta
Recipe above that chest. Head all the way back to the northwest for a
Storm Sword and a Green Ribbon. Go right to the next screen.
This next section requires hitting switches to make the cart go where you want.

opposite you to a chest with Apple Gummies. Ride the truck back. Go left and
down to hit a switch. Ride the same cart from earlier, and choose to go left.
Hit the switch and walk left to ride the cart again. Grab the Shortcake Recipe
from the chest and return to the cart.
Disembark and walk up to a chest with Eggs. The chest to right has you fight
a monster for Miracle Gummy. Make your way up and hit the switch, then ride

Bottles. Return and hit the same switch again. Now ride the cart that's down
and to the right to get a Savory. Walk up to flip a switch. Ride your cart
back. This time, take the southernmost cart. Walk down to a chest with Sage.

the armor shop. The blacksmith in the back gives you a Steel Sword. An NPC in
the military station will give you Lemon Gummy.
Talk to the gatekeeper to the north to find out that Hasta has gone to the
volcano. Talk to all the NPCs you see. There will be a scene, after which you
should go return to the gatekeeper. You may now go into the volcano to hunt
down Hasta, or reclaim your memories, whichever comes first. Talk to the
gatekeeper again for a Holy Bottle. Now proceed to Kelma Volcano.

a Treat. Return to the previous screen and keep going straight and then up to
the following section.
Follow the path and grab the Cheeses on the way. Keep going on the curvy path.
Bear left and go up for a Life Bottle. At the split, both paths lead to the
save point, so keep going right for a Red Vervain. Save, then head up for
your confrontation with Hasta. Remember, he's weak against Earth.
After the fight, a scene will occur. Your party will return to Garam.
-------------------------
| Western Country Garam |
-------------------------
Lots of exposition here. There is also a hot springs event. When you regain
control, talk to the gatekeeper again for a Specific, and to an NPC in the
military station for 3000 gald. Now exit Garam and make your way back to the

is Fire and Light.

places you've been for more skits or items. Your next destination is Galpos,
an island south and center of the world map.

trenches. The southwest one has High Holy Bottle, the one above it has Orange
Gummies. The one tower the center of the screen contains Lemon Gummy, and the
northeast chest has Red Sage. Once you've collected everything, go northwest
to the next screen.
There are chests to the leftmost and rightmost of this area. Grab the Eggs and
the Recipe from them and proceed up. There's another chest to the north and
east with Chamomile. The path winds up on the left, where you can continue up
for Treat and Earth Glaive. The chest in the center has 7800 gald. Go up to

The idea here is to raise and lower the blue and green platforms so you can
reach the chests. Go left and examine the computer terminal to raise the
blue platforms and lower the green ones. Backtrack, pass the gray lift, and
go up and right for a chest with High Holy Bottle. Now return to the lift
and take it up to the walkway. Follow the path up and all the way right. To
the south is 9400 gald. Examine the terminal above you. Go right, up, left,

southwest for another terminal. You can now get the Flamberge from the chest.
Go left and south, riding the lifts until you reach another terminal. It
allows you to reach the last chest, to the northwest, with a Mirage Cloak.
Once you have that, return to the terminal to the south and lift the green
platforms so you can exit to the north.
In the next room, go left to the conveyer belt area. The scene will establish
that certain characters will pass through okay, while others will be dropped.
Have a drop-character lead (Ilia works fine) and get on the conveyer. When
You fall, grab the Rice to the north and go south to go back up. There's a
Chest above you and to the right with a Pizza Toast Recipe. Ignore the
Conveyer belt to the right of it and go left toward the save point.
Go up and right to be dropped again. Go left for a River Regis. Go up again
using the lift to the south. This time, have a non-drop character (like Luca)
lead so you go through the conveyer. At the next conveyer, drop down and get
the Apple Gummies above you. Return via the same gray lift to the south.
Go through the first conveyer again, but this time go up right when you get
off for 8900 gald. Go to the next conveyor for another drop. Grab the Sacred
Helm and the Chocolates before taking the lift back up. Go through the belt
on the right and run to the right for Blue Nacre. Afterwards, return to the
belt you just went through with a drop-character. Go up and right for Orange
Gummies. Then go left to move on to the next area.
In this room, you're supposed to read the clues on the terminals to find the
password. It's "ORIFIEL." Make your way to the terminal in the southwest to
enter it. This will disable the other terminals, allowing you to plunder the
chests. The western part of the room has a Specific, Life Bottles, and Topaz.
There's a Miracle Gummy to the northeast, and a Pine Gummy in the central
walkway. When you're done, exit to the north using the newly created walkway.
Your errant party member is arguing with Albert. After a scene, you fight
both Ange and Albert. Knock her down first so she can't heal him, then go
after him. He's weak against Darkness, which Ricardo uses.
There will be an extended scene after the battle. You will have an airship of
your own when you talk to Albert. Now it's your turn to board someone else!

to the first switch. Hit it again and go right, then north to the save point.
You will fight a giant monster. It has no elemental weakness. Just keep at it
with strong, non-Wind attacks. Afterwards, you can use your airship to go to
places you've visited before. When you're done, fly to the Sky Castle in the
center of the world map.

and a Pine Gummy to the northwest. Go north to the next screen.
Go up and left for a Panacea Bottle. Backtrack, go right, then up the stairs
for a High Holy Bottle and Masamune. Go back down the stairs and go north to
the next screen.
In this cloud-floor area, press Square to use the Sorcerer Ring and light
the torch stands to the west, east, and north. There are chests in all four
corners, with a Reflex, Pudding Recipe, Giant Fist, and Lemon Gummy. When
you're done, step on the warp portal in the center of the screen.
The exit is to the north, but you can go south to get the Nightmare Helm,
Mixed Gummy, and Moon Robe. On either side of the portal are Orange Gummies
and Apple Gummies. Go northeast for Milk, and northwest for Crownery (sp).
Proceed to the next area.
In this section, you have to activate three crystals that will open the door
and also give access to the chests. Start by making your way around the paths
and to the north. Activate the crystal south of the door. Then go down and east
to activate the next crystal. The final crystal is to the northwest. Now you
can freely grab all the chests. The two at the bottom, at the end of the round
paths, contain a Red Sage and Red Savory. Above those are Red Chamomile and
Red Saffron. The three chests just north of the main circular path have All
Divide, Mirage Crest, and Ancient Claws. West of those is a Red Lavender.
Finally, to the northwest is an Elixir, and the northeast chest contains a
Red Vervain. Go north.
Take the Life Bottles, Miracle Gummy, Treat, and Specific from the chests.
Save and go up for a boss fight. It's weak against Wind.
There will be a lengthy scene. Afterwards, head toward Sania Village.
-----------------
| Sania Village |
-----------------
After the scene, go to Ilia's house in the north. When you regain control,
talk to her parents for Miracle Gummy and High Holy Bottle. Put Ilia in the
lead so they give her an Elixir and Specific. Go outside and talk to the NPCs
for items. Wonder Chef is here with a Stuffed Cabbage Recipe. There are
chests in the southwest house and in the house beside Ilia's, with Pork,
Chamomile, and Cabbages.
Afterwards, you can either head to the mountain to get to the Tower of Dawn,
or check out the nearby Muse Village.
----------------
| Muse Village |
----------------
There will be a scene when you enter. Afterwards, continue right for chests
with ingredients. The NPCs here will upgrade your Sorcerer Ring. Now you can
destroy the glowing boulders! There are five: in the first screens of the
Ashihara Tombs, Regnum Caverns, and Celestial Garden; and the second screens
of Galpos Jungle and Lemures Wetlands. The chests contain strong equipment.
Back in Muse Village, go to the left side and up to talk to Vulcan. He asks
you to get his swords, the shiny ones you've been seeing. The swords are in:
Furufu Forest (right of save point), the Western Front (after a mini-boss
fight), Naos City (Hartman's house), Naos Base (use the lift in the first room
to get to the room to the right of the main switch room), the Calypso Mine,
Grigori Village, Galpos Jungle (in the old man's tent), and the Celestial
Garden (left of first screen). Once you have all of them, go up to Vulcan
Eight times so each character can present a sword and get a powerful weapon in
exchange. Talking to Vulcan will make the party sleep so the character dreams
of his/her past Life, so you might want to stagger this side quest.
When you're ready, head east from Muse Village to Kardia.
