Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter review: Story & Combat
A focused Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter review covering its story, combat, pacing, music, character writing, and reception.
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Beginner Guide
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter builds on the systems introduced in the first chapter while expanding the world, party roster, and combat options. A reliable routine is to advance the main objective, check the Bracer Guild and bulletin boards, complete useful side jobs, upgrade equipment, and then prepare your orbment setup before major battles.
Follow the main objective, then check local work
Use the journal and current objective as your primary guide, but visit the local Bracer Guild whenever you reach a new town. Bracer assignments, bulletin-board requests, and NPC conversations often provide mira, sepith, items, and additional context for the region.
- Speak with the receptionist at the local Bracer Guild
- Review available jobs before leaving town
- Check shops and important NPCs after major story events
- Keep at least one save file before entering a new dungeon or event area
Manage the party around availability
Party members join and leave according to the story, so avoid building a strategy that depends on one permanent lineup. Estelle is a dependable all-rounder, while characters such as Joshua, Agate, Kloe, Tita, Scherazard, Zin, Olivier, and Kevin provide different mixes of physical damage, support, healing, and Arts.
- Keep one physical attacker and one Arts-capable character available
- Reserve at least one slot for healing or emergency support
- Revisit equipment whenever a character rejoins the party
- Do not spend rare quartz only for a temporary party member unless it solves an immediate problem
Upgrade equipment before chasing extra levels
Weapon and armor upgrades usually provide a more immediate improvement than grinding several extra levels. Buy new weapons and body armor in each major town, then compare accessories for resistance, speed, healing, and status protection.
- Upgrade weapons for the characters you expect to use in the next required battle
- Replace outdated armor after moving to a new region
- Use accessories to counter the status effects of a specific dungeon
- Sell old equipment only after confirming that it is not needed for another character
Build orbment lines for clear roles
Quartz determine both combat bonuses and the Arts available through each character's orbment. Give support characters access to healing and defensive Arts, while physical characters can focus on strength, speed, action, and offensive utility.
Physical attacker
Strength, speed, action, and reliable Craft damage
Arts caster
EP, cast speed, elemental values, and area Arts
Support or healer
Healing Arts, EP recovery, defensive bonuses, and status resistance
Treat healing and EP as part of the route
Do not wait until the party is nearly defeated before recovering. Use inns, healing statues, field recovery, and healing items between encounters so that the party enters required battles with full or near-full HP and EP.
- Avoid saving all healing items and then entering a boss fight without enough EP
- Deal with poisoned, sealed, or confused characters right after a normal encounter
- Do not spend every powerful Arts spell on regular enemies
- Remember that a character's current equipment may be weaker after a forced party change
Use the battle system deliberately
Normal encounters are a chance to build CP, position the party, and conserve EP. Start difficult encounters with a plan: identify dangerous enemies, control turn order, use Crafts when the bonus is valuable, and save S-Crafts for a decisive opening or emergency finish.
- Check enemy formations before committing to an opening attack
- Separate fragile characters from area attacks when possible
- Prioritize enemies that can disable, confuse, or buff the group
- Use food and status-curing items before spending a large amount of EP
Quick Tips
- Visit the Bracer Guild in every new town and review available jobs before moving on.
- Keep at least one save file before entering a new dungeon or event area.
- Revisit each character's equipment and quartz whenever they rejoin the party.
- Use inns and healing statues between encounters so the party enters required battles with full HP and EP.
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Walkthrough
This walkthrough follows the major regions and story phases of Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter. Each section identifies the main route, the locations that matter, and the progression checks that commonly stop players from moving forward.
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Characters and Best Party
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter rewards flexible party building. Characters have distinct orbment layouts, Crafts, S-Crafts, and movement patterns, but no single lineup is required for the entire story. Use these role profiles to assemble a team that fits the next dungeon and the enemies you expect to face.
Estelle Bright
Strengths

Kloe Rinz
Strengths
- Strong healing and recovery options
- High value in long encounters
- Can provide defensive support while still contributing Arts damage
Crafts

Tita Russell
Strengths
- Wide attack coverage and excellent crowd control
- Useful against groups of smaller enemies
- Can contribute powerful Arts from a safe distance
Crafts
- Orbal Gear attacks with broad range
- Explosive area damage
- Support and item-based utility
Best with
- A durable front line that keeps enemies grouped or occupied
- A healer who can compensate for her lower durability
Tita is strongest when enemies can be clustered or when the party needs to clear several targets at once. Protect her from direct attacks.
Zin Vatheft
Strengths
- High durability and dependable physical damage
- Good at holding a front-line position
- Useful against enemies that resist ordinary weapon damage
Crafts
- Area martial-arts attacks
- Defensive and stance-based utility
- Close-range attacks that control enemy formations
Best with
- Kloe for sustained front-line healing
- Olivier or Tita for a durable front line supporting ranged damage
Zin is a reliable choice when survivability matters more than maximum burst. Give him defensive and speed-oriented quartz to improve consistency.
Kevin Graham
Strengths
- Flexible orbment options
- Strong support and emergency recovery
- Excellent utility in difficult encounters
Crafts
- Ranged crossbow attacks
- Barrier and defensive support
- Healing and party-protection utility
Best with
- Any physical-heavy party that lacks healing
- Arts teams that need a second support character
Kevin is especially valuable when a battle requires defensive timing. Keep his CP available for emergencies rather than spending it automatically.
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Combat Guide
Combat in Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter is built around the AT bar, enemy identification, positioning, and resource timing. The strongest approach is usually to deny dangerous enemies their best turns, exploit elemental weaknesses when practical, and spend CP or EP when doing so changes the outcome of the encounter.
Choose the right battle approach
Quick Battle is useful for moving through ordinary encounters efficiently, while Command Battle gives you full control over movement, targets, Arts, Crafts, and turn timing. Switch to deliberate command play whenever the enemy group includes a caster, status attacker, elite monster, or dangerous formation.
- Use quick resolution for low-risk enemies you already understand
- Use Command Battle for bosses, treasure monsters, and unfamiliar formations
- Open the battle menu when you need to inspect targets or plan the next several turns
Read the AT bar before spending resources
The AT bar determines who acts next and can also provide bonuses such as increased damage, healing, critical power, or additional CP. A strong turn is not always the earliest turn; sometimes delaying a character lets you claim a valuable bonus or respond to an enemy's preparation.
- Prevent a dangerous enemy from receiving a high-value turn bonus
- Take a critical or damage bonus with a strong Craft when possible
- Use a healing bonus for a large recovery instead of spending extra items
- Do not allow a fragile character to remain exposed when an enemy is about to act
Position the party before committing to attacks
Movement matters because many attacks and Arts cover lines, cones, or areas. Keep fragile casters away from melee enemies, spread out when facing area attacks, and group enemies only when your own area damage can exploit the formation.
- Place front-line characters between enemies and casters
- Avoid clustering the whole party against enemies with wide area attacks
- Move characters before casting if a better line or area will affect more targets
- Use knockback and movement Crafts to disrupt enemy formations
Use Crafts for tempo and Arts for coverage
Crafts spend CP and usually act immediately, making them valuable for interrupts, burst damage, emergency support, and finishing targets. Arts require EP and casting time but provide the most reliable elemental coverage, healing, buffs, and large area damage.
- Use Crafts when acting immediately is more important than conserving CP
- Use Arts when the party has time to prepare a large attack or recovery
- Keep enough EP for healing and status recovery before spending it on minor enemies
- Use cast-speed and action-related quartz on characters who depend on frequent Arts turns
Break defenses and exploit weaknesses
Enemy defenses can make ordinary attacks inefficient. Check enemy information, identify elemental weaknesses, and use the appropriate Arts or Crafts rather than repeatedly striking a resistant target with the wrong damage type.
- Use elemental Arts against enemies with clear elemental weaknesses
- Use strong physical attackers against enemies with low physical defense
- Apply buffs before a burst turn when the enemy cannot interrupt the setup
- Remove enemy buffs or disable key threats before focusing on durable targets
Use S-Crafts at decisive moments
S-Crafts are among the party's strongest burst options, but spending them immediately is not always optimal. Save CP for a boss phase, a critical turn bonus, a large enemy group, or an emergency finish when normal actions would be too slow.
- Open with an S-Craft when eliminating a dangerous enemy prevents major damage
- Use a damage S-Craft during a critical or damage-boosting turn when possible
- Reserve support or defensive S-Crafts for encounters where survival is the main problem
- Do not leave the entire party at low CP if the next required battle is known to be difficult
Conserve resources without fighting inefficiently
The goal is not to avoid every EP or CP expenditure. The goal is to spend resources where they shorten the battle, prevent damage, or preserve a stronger condition for the next encounter.
- Use normal attacks and low-cost Crafts on routine enemies
- Recover HP and EP before entering a known boss route
- Carry status-curing items instead of relying on one character to solve every condition
- Cook or purchase useful food for difficult fights, especially healing and CP-recovery recipes
- Retreat and reset your plan when an encounter reveals a serious orbment or equipment weakness
Prepare specifically for difficult encounters
Before a required battle, review equipment, quartz, accessories, healing items, and party positioning. Bosses often punish a generic setup, so resistance, speed, range, and reliable recovery can matter more than maximum attack power.
- Upgrade the active party's weapons and armor
- Equip resistance accessories that match the area's status effects
- Confirm that at least one character can heal HP and remove common ailments
- Set up offensive Arts for the boss's weaknesses
- Create a save file before the encounter or point of no return
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Quartz and Orbment Guide
Orbment configuration is one of the most important systems in Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter. Quartz provide stat bonuses, elemental values, and special effects, while the Orbment line layout controls which Arts can be unlocked. A strong setup usually combines a clear role, reliable EP management, useful speed or damage bonuses, and enough elemental value to access the Arts that matter for the next area.
Lines, slots, and elemental values
Each character has an Orbment with a fixed line layout. Quartz placed on the same line contribute their elemental values together, and the total values determine which Arts become available. Open slots can accept most Quartz, while elemental restrictions and line separation can make some Arts easier to unlock on one character than another.
Recommended use
Check the line structure before assigning a role. Long single-line Orbments are generally convenient for Arts users, while multi-line layouts provide more flexibility for mixed physical and support builds.
Stat Quartz
Attack, Mind, Defense, HP, EP, Action, Cast, Move, Evade, Hit, Impede, and Range Quartz modify core combat statistics or utility. Action improves turn speed, Cast reduces Arts casting time, Mind increases magical damage and healing, and EP or EP Cut improves the number of Arts available between refills.
Recommended use
Prioritize Action on almost every active character, then choose Attack for physical damage, Mind and Cast for Arts users, and EP or EP Cut when a character is expected to cast frequently.
Action, Cast, Clock Up, and Clock Down
Time-element Quartz commonly support speed and turn control. Action increases speed, Cast shortens Arts casting time, and Clock Up is a valuable buff for raising speed during difficult encounters. Impede is useful when interrupting enemy Arts or craft preparation.
Recommended use
Use Action and Cast together on dedicated casters. Physical attackers can trade Cast for Attack, Hit, Evade, or Move depending on the weapon, equipment, and intended combat role.
Defense, HP, and defensive utility
Earth values commonly unlock defensive Arts such as Earth Wall and support survivability through HP and Defense bonuses. Earth Wall can protect the party from a physical hit, making it especially valuable before powerful boss attacks.
Recommended use
Give defensive Earth Quartz to a support character or a fragile Arts user. Earth Wall is strongest when timed before a predictable physical attack rather than cast continuously.
Healing and water Arts
Water values help unlock healing and attack Arts such as Tear, Teara, Aqua Bleed, and related upgrades. Water Quartz also supports EP-oriented builds when a character must heal repeatedly during long fights.
Recommended use
Place Water Quartz on the party's main healer or on a flexible caster who can switch between recovery and area damage.
Physical damage and fire Arts
Fire values support offensive Arts such as Fire Bolt and stronger fire-element attacks, while Attack Quartz improves physical damage directly. Fire setups are useful against groups vulnerable to fire and on characters who already possess strong physical crafts.
Recommended use
Combine Attack with Action for a physical attacker, or combine Mind, Cast, and fire values for an offensive caster. Avoid forcing a fire specialization when the next area's enemy resistances make another element more effective.
Area Arts, movement, and evasion
Wind values help unlock Arts such as Aerial and other area-focused attacks. Wind-related builds also pair naturally with Move and Evade effects, allowing mobile characters to control positioning and avoid some physical attacks.
Recommended use
Use Wind Arts against clustered enemies and give Evade or Move support to characters who regularly operate away from the main group.
Mind, EP, range, and advanced Arts
Space and Mirage values are commonly used for stronger offensive Arts, Mind bonuses, EP management, and specialized support effects. These elements often become important when building a dedicated Arts user rather than a general-purpose fighter.
Recommended use
Reserve high-value Space and Mirage Quartz for characters with favorable Orbment lines and enough EP to cast repeatedly. Mind, EP Cut, Cast, and elemental-value Quartz make a reliable core.
Physical attacker
A physical attacker benefits from Attack, Action, Hit or Evade, Move, and situational Impede Quartz. Add HP or Defense when the character must remain in melee range, and use elemental Quartz only when it also unlocks a useful Art or provides a meaningful stat bonus.
Recommended use
Estelle, Joshua, Agate, Zin, Richard, and other melee-oriented characters can use this approach. Joshua can also trade some direct damage for speed and Impede utility, while Agate benefits from a high-damage setup that supports strong crafts.
Dedicated Arts user
A dedicated caster generally wants Mind, Cast, Action, EP, EP Cut, and enough elemental values to unlock the preferred attack and support Arts. The setup should preserve casting speed and EP efficiency instead of filling every slot with a different damage element.
Recommended use
Kloe, Olivier, Scherazard, Kevin, and other caster-capable characters can specialize in healing, area damage, buffs, or debuffs. Kloe is especially effective as a healer and support caster, while Olivier can combine strong Arts with ranged damage.
Support and control character
Support characters benefit from Action, Cast, EP Cut, Impede, Information, and Quartz that unlock defensive or buffing Arts. Their goal is to act early, interrupt enemy casting, protect allies, and maintain buffs rather than maximize personal damage.
Recommended use
Scherazard, Kevin, Estelle, and Tita can be adapted for support duties. Keep at least one reliable healing option and consider Earth Wall, Clock Up, La Forte, or debuff Arts when the encounter allows them.
Balanced party
A balanced party normally includes one reliable healer, one physical damage dealer, one Arts or ranged damage dealer, and one flexible slot. Build each Orbment around a clear secondary purpose so the party still has healing, EP recovery, buffs, and interruption tools when the battle changes.
Recommended use
A practical four-person group can combine Estelle as a flexible support lead, Joshua or Agate as a physical attacker, Kloe or Olivier as an Arts specialist, and Kevin, Scherazard, Zin, or Tita as the adaptable fourth member.

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Missables and Collectibles
The second chapter contains a large amount of optional content that is connected to chapter timing, regional access, and story progression. Use the checklist after each major story event, inspect every newly opened map, and speak with NPCs more than once when the party returns to a town. The safest approach is to finish guild work, search new areas, and check collection progress before triggering the next departure.
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Fishing Cooking and Minigames
Optional activities in the second chapter are more than distractions. Fishing and cooking provide useful supplies and collection progress, while poker and casino exchanges offer another way to obtain prizes. Check shops, guilds, inns, and entertainment areas whenever the party enters a new city, because activity access and available rewards can expand as the story progresses.
Available throughout the journey once the party has access to the appropriate rod, bait, and fishing locations.
How it works
- 1Equip or select the available fishing tackle.
- 2Travel to ponds, rivers, lakes, coastal areas, and other marked fishing locations.
- 3Use suitable bait and react to the bite prompt to land the fish.

How it works
- 1Collect ingredients from shops, monsters, treasure, fishing, and quest rewards.
- 2Use a known recipe from the recipe list.
- 3Select the available character or cooking result when multiple outcomes are possible.
- 4Store useful dishes for healing, buffs, status recovery, or exploration.

Rewards and benefits
- Food restores HP or EP and can provide temporary combat effects.
- Some dishes cure conditions or provide useful resistance and stat benefits.
- Collecting recipes supports completion goals and gives value to otherwise ordinary ingredients.

How it works
- 1Exchange Mira for casino tokens or use the available casino currency.

Casino services become relevant after reaching Grancel and can be revisited as the story progresses.
How it works
- 1Check the available games and token costs.
- 2Compare prize values with current equipment, Quartz, consumable, and collection needs.
- 3Use winnings at the exchange counter rather than leaving tokens unused.

Rewards and benefits
- Prizes can supplement normal equipment and item purchases.

How it works
- 1Buy ingredients whenever a new vendor becomes available.
- 2Collect drops from monsters and treasure chests.
- 3Fish in each newly discovered body of water.
- 4Test or record new recipes before selling excess materials.
