First Playthrough
Trails from Zero requires at least two playthroughs to 100% the game. There are both chests and monsters that are exclusive to NG+.

It is possible to unlock all bonding trophies in the same playthrough, but to do so you need to pick certain characters at very specific points throughout the game. As the game needs to be played at least twice, it's easier to choose your favorite character during the preliminary run and knock out the other two on your subsequent playthrough. If you would rather be one and done with the bonding trophies, I made notes in the guide regarding who to choose when.

It's worth completing at least some of the other achievements on your first playthrough as it directly affects the number of points you're allotted when carrying data over for NG+.
Second Playthrough
Before starting your second playthrough, go down to the 'Extras' tab on the main menu. Selecting 'Points' will bring up a list of things you can carry over from previous games and will display how much they cost to unlock.

- Combat Notebook (100pt)
- Recipe Notebook (100pt)
- Fishing Notebook (100pt)
- Status (100pt)
- Mira & Sepith (200pt)
- Weapons (200pt)
- Armor (200pt)
- Accessories (200pt)
- Quartz (200pt)
- Consumables (200pt)
- Back Alley Doctor Glenn books (200pt)
- Combo Craft Upgrades (200pt)

While you aren't required to carry anything over to NG+ in order to get every achievement, choosing combat notebook will make the battle and monster achievements significantly easier.

Once you've spent all of your points, go back to the main menu and load your clear data. Select the content to carry over, choose Nightmare difficulty, and begin the game.
Notes on Achievements
Rise and Don't Grind - All party members must be at or below level 40 by the end of the game. You don't actually have to worry about overleveling until the late chapter 3 as the game gives experience points based off of your current level rather than a set amount per battle. For example, defeating a level 5 monster would give a level 3 character a large amount of exp but almost nothing to a level 9 character who fought in the same battle. Try to be at or below level 36 going into the final dungeon.

You Won't Like Me When I'm Angler-y - You will be able to catch all fish for this achievement by the end of day 3 in chapter three. I added notes regarding fish location, rods, and bait at the end of the guide. Just keep a few fish on hand throughout the game to feed Coppe once per chapter for a special quartz in the finale.

The Usual Suspects - Enemies must be analyzed in order to count. This can be done using battle scope or Tio's Analyze craft. Simply fighting monsters will also fill in their entry, but it may take multiple encounters to gather all of the information. I highly recommend double checking that all new entries are completely filled out before leaving each area. Some monsters are only available in NG+

Shining poms are a rare and particularly annoying spawn. If they don't appear on the map, you cannot simply follow the path to the next screen and then double back unless it is an entirely new area. Because of this, it's easier to do the E Crossbell Hwy and Mainz Path poms in chapter 2 or later when you can take the buses. I had the best luck saving inside of the city, then taking the bus to the spawn point. If the pom wasn't there, I simply reloaded my save. The Ursula Rd pom is easier as you can keep walking down the path to St Ursula and then come back. The same goes for the W Crossbell Hwy pom and Bellguard Gate.

Chest Nut - As mentioned before, there are some treasure chests that are only available in NG+, so it isn't necessarily worth counting them in your first playthrough. When you do get to your second playthrough, keeping track of how many chests you've opened between monster fights, dialogue, and plot is a huge pain. I recommend either writing it down or using a checklist like this this one. Keep a mental tab at your own risk.

Following in His Footsteps - You will need 376 detective points (DP) out of the possible 380 (384 on NG+) to unlock this achievement

Home SSSweet Home - Decorations and Enigma covers are available until the end of chapter 4 (later for the covers) once they show up at the store. I made a note near the end of the guide to purchase them as you may want to save your mira for other upgrades earlier on in the game.

A Novel Pastime - You must have all copies of Doctor Glenn AND Crossbell Times in your possession at the same time to earn this achievement

Miracle Mirannaire - The key to having a million mira in this game is trading sepith for mira at the IBC. Some people recommend farming the rainbow trout in Mainz Mine with the bamboo rod/deluxe dumpling. This isn't available until late chapter three.

Keep at least one of every supreme and peculiar dish. You will need to leave the supreme dishes at a shrine in East Street for a quartz. The peculiar dishes are required for a sidequest in chapter 4/finale

You can check the strength of your bond with your teammates throughout the game. Go to system and then record. Select any of the last three achievements to see the number of hearts earned in the bottom right corner. There are a few ways to increase this:
- Buy room decorations and Enigma covers
- Choose characters during special events
- Use combo crafts. If you are trying to get all of the bonding trophies in the first playthrough, do not use combo crafts unless it's specifically stated in the guide to do so

Save often! It is so easy to miss bonus DP, monster scans, and collectibles in this game.

                                                    @mywingedhorses my bad. Replayed this moment once again. Abbas gives just item (after Geofront B quest where you fine Jona), not a recipe.
                                                    But still thanks for the guide. It helps with walkthrough on other platform!

                                                    @sad_tiger I believe there are a few places in the story where you can pick up the Shiny Blue recipe (Moonlight Butterflies being the supreme version). You're right about it being in chapter 2 after the training quest. I just happened to put it all the way in the finale in this guide.

                                                    @mywingedhorses Before going to Stargazing Tower visit Abbs in Trinity (if you complete training quest) to get Moonlight Butterflies recipe.

                                                    Thank you, I went back and have been able to fix the book and recipe problem.

                                                    @ElderScrollsIsMySkooma The recipe after the tomato burger is Melted Cheese Pizza. This is found back in Chapter 2 - Day 2 in Geofront B. It may still be available later in the game. For Back Alley Doctor 10 you have to leave the auction hall then return and talk to the maid Brenda on stage

                                                    I'm missing a recipe and a book - whatever is after the Colorful Tomato Burger and the book you are supposed to find at the auction, from the red haired maid - I never say a red haired maid on the stage... the one closest to red wouldn't tell me anything other than to leave.

                                                    For those who don't want to stress too much over chests, I found info about percentages to be able to confirm whether you've collected all chests covered in this guide. To check the percentage of chests opened, (in your game) go to system -> record and then go down one slot. I don't know if these numbers are accurate, but I CAN confirm that 70% is the correct # at the point of no return as mentioned in this guide. These percentages are what you should have at the END of each day.
