Arc Rise Fantasia Monster Checklist - RetroAchievements/guides GitHub Wiki

This is a comprehensive checklist for all 256 monsters encountered (or at least counted for) in Arc Rise Fantasia, which will be handy for completing the achievement Gotta Fight β€˜Em All. I cannot distinctly recall every single monster that’s missable since I didn’t keep track of every single enemy encounter during my playthrough, and I had compiled this after completing the entire game, so it’d be difficult for me to mark much as missable unless I get some assistance there. A few rare monsters have some special conditions which I will remark on though. The in-game bestiary sorts these entries by monster type, so I’ll do the same here. I’ll also throw in the location any monster appears in, since there are duplicate entries that could cause some confusion.

I also made a YouTube video showing what the complete in-game bestiary should look like.

There are some locations that will be cut off from you as you progress in the plot, so keep your eyes peeled for these and fight everything possible:

  • Dragon Prison (can only visit it twice during the story, and has different monsters each time)
  • Gula Church Ruins (gets sealed off once the party leaves)
  • Flagship Percival (is lost after clearing these events)
  • Final part of the Lascarde Skywalk (the path leading back to it will be permanently closed off)

The multiple Rogress you encounter either through the story or as optional superbosses do not show up in the bestiary, plus it would be impossible to get every entry in a single playthrough due to the non-linear Rogress hunt portion where you can only recruit two of four Rogress. They are not counted toward the achievement for this reason, but I will list them in a special category called Rogress if you wish to keep track of them for yourself.

Apparently fighting your own allies in the Arena’s Friends Forsaken battle counts toward the achievement, but I cannot find their entries in the in-game bestiary. You do need to fight three allies in one battle, and then the other three in a separate fight to get all of their β€˜hidden entries’, as it were. This battle is unlocked after beating the game and making a clear game save, so no need to worry about party-swapping shenanigans – only the final six allies apply to this. Since it’s a bit of a spoiler regarding what the final party will be, I’ll list them as a special final category following the Rogress category called Forsaken Friends Arena Battle.

Allwise Infinite Maze is a gate that some postgame overworld monsters are locked behind. You need to make some progress in the dungeon, as in defeating at least the first boss Baal, to trigger a flag that allows them to spawn. I have denoted those monsters throughout the guide so there isn’t any ambiguity.

Be aware that some of these entries are spoilery in nature, particularly with bosses in the Human and Other categories. If you wish not to be spoiled, please stop reading here.

  • Roane - ??? (I’m not positive on what the spawn criteria are for this. It appears to be completely random, but there’s not enough information for me to be certain. Ophelia told me that she saw it in Ellgode Volcano and Holy Land of Noire, Bryandelmond likewise said he saw one in Soliton Caves, while I encountered one in Zeilfelt Holy Tower)
  • Kelpie - ??? (Ophelia told me that she found one of these in Verct Skywalk by going to where Hime spawns, going back and forth into the room with the save point and fighting it repeatedly until a Kelpie appeared. It took me less than five tries to get one to appear, so try that if you’re having trouble. I’m also not sure if you have to defeat Baal in Allwise Infinite Maze before Kelpie will appear – they give a ton of experience points, so my assumption is that you would)
