Authorized Websites [ADS] ============================================================================== THE MEDALS [TMD] ============================================================================== Below are the various medals listed in order. To quick find them, refer to the table of contents above and find the corresponding number. The format will be as follows: [***] (Number) MEDAL NAME -Requirements Tips: (If any) Once the requirements are met, receive the medal from Cordelia while in base. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [001] GALLIAN MEDAL OF HONOR -Simply finish Chapter 9 in the main story. [002] FOUZEN SERVICE MEDAL -Simply finish Chapter 10 in the main story. [003] NAGGIAR SERVICE MEDAL -Simply finish Chapter 14 in the main story. [004] GHIRLANDIO SERVICE MEDAL -Simply finish Chapter 15 in the main story. [005] SAVIOR OF GALLIA -Complete the game, and begin a New Game Plus file. Tips: "New Game Plus" refers to "Clear" data, which indicates you have beaten the game at least once, and re-play with all stats, weapons, and characters, the same. [006] THE LANCE OF GALLIA -Kill at least one enemy ace Tips: "Enemy Aces" are the enemies who appear on some chapters who have a name and title, rather than being referred to as simply a "Scout" or other class. Example: "Ty the Immortal" is an Enemy Ace. [007] THE BRONZE ARMS OF GALLIA -Kill 250 enemy units Tips: This is usually unlocked if you have been playing every chapter, and playing Skirmishes as they were unlocked. If not, keep playing Skirmishes and replaying chapters, and this will unlock. [008] THE SILVER ARMS OF GALLIA -Kill 500 enemy units Tips: The same as above, play Skirmishes and replay chapters if this one had not unlocked upon beating the game. [009] THE GOLDEN ARMS OF GALLIA -Kill 1000 enemy units Tips: If you tackle the Skirmishes, as well as Hard Mode, and aim to get the highest rank in each chapter, this will unlock as you progress through that. If not, keep replaying chapters and focusing on kills rather than completion. [010] THE SPLINTERED HORN -Let a unit who has unlocked their hidden potential fall in combat Tips: This medal requires a perma-death. That means even when they fall in combat, you have to make sure not to call in medical support, nor clear the level until they "fall in the line of duty." You have to make sure they have unlocked all their potentials, which is easy to do if all classes are trained to level 20, and you use them now and then. If you look at the unit file, if they have their last potential filled or with a diagonal cross over it, this means they're likely at full potential. Lastly, you have to pick someone you may not be fond of, or not mind losing. When they die they're gone for good! You should get it immediately after the level is completed, so if you did not, load and make sure that unit had all their potentials unlocked! Personally, as I like things being complete, I save this one for last, and on a separate save file. [011] THE CRIMSON HEART -Save a fallen soldier Tips: This medal is granted when you rescue a fallen soldier with a medic. You can also clear a mission before the unit remains dead. [012] ORDER OF THE GOLDEN WINGS -Max out the Levels of Character Classes Tips: You will need a lot of experience, but as you progress through the story and handle the skirmishes that unlock on your way there with good grades, then this should be easy to unlock. After all classes have been trained to the maximum, this medal should unlock. [013] THE WINGS OF SOLIDARITY -Complete the Personnel Profiles Tips: To complete the Profiles, you have to make sure every character has been unlocked, and that you have gotten their hidden potentials. Do this by using every one until each reaches their hidden potential at least once. Training the classes should help here too. [014] EXCELLENCE IN LEADERSHIP -Learn every single order Tips: This is self-explanatory, learn them from the Gentlemen in the graveyard as you progress. He will tell you there is no more he can teach you, indicating you have completed the list. [015] EXCELLENCE IN ARMAMENT -Fully upgrade every weapon, collect all enemy weapons, and Royal Weapons Tips: Upgrading every weapon can be done at base. It will cost a lot of money, but like experience, good grades on skirmishes/chapters should make this relatively easy. "Enemy Weapons" refers specifically to the weapons held by "Enemy Aces", that is, Enemies who have a title and a name ("Ty the Immortal", for instance.) Royal Weapons are handed out by Cordelia on completion of levels. Refer to a weapons list to get details on what you may have and may not have. After all have been accounted for, this medal should unlock. For easy money, some Skirmishes can be completed in the first turn, it may require a bit of practice, but using Scouts (fully upgraded, easier in post-game/new game +), it can be done. The earlier skirmishes' normal modes' enemies are almost useless against Scouts, even tanks can be destroyed in one or two turns from a Scout (depending on the weapon used). The point is to rush the enemy HQ flag as quick as possible, the less turns spent getting there, the higher the rank, and income/rewards. It may be more difficult to do on later Skirmish maps, and while the first turn is preferable, it does not have to be the first, but just as quick as possible. Be sure to bring all units who give Command Points, as this will boost your amount of moves that can be done per turn. I may update this in the future to give a quick 1-turn guide on some maps, if it is wanted. [016] EXCELLENCE IN TECHNOLOGY -Fully upgrade both tanks (Edelweiss and Shamrock); as well as collecting enemy pieces Tips: The Edelweiss has three different upgrades near the end, and you have to be sure to purchase each one. You basically have to make sure you have bought everything at least once. [017] GALLIAN FRONT COMMEMORATIVE -Complete every chapter and report Tips: This is a completion medal. By "Complete" it means beat at least once, regardless of the grade or casualties. [018] ORDER OF THE HOLY SHIELD -Complete any chapter after Chapter 10 without any unit falling (HP running out) Tips: Find a level after Chapter 10 that you feel comfortable with, that you know your own won't fall too easily. You can take your time completing the level (if there is no limitation within the mission itself), and not worry about the grade. When you complete the level without a unit falling, then you unlock this one. [019] ORDER OF THE HOLY LANCE -Obtain an A ranking (highest) in any level after Chapter 10 Tips: You get this medal for just beating one mission with an "A" rank. It is not a requirement to get it on every level. Find a level you think you can "A" rank (the lower the turns, the better.) Focus on rushing to finish each objective, as it does not count how many fell in battle, but just the time it took you to beat the level itself. [020] RANDGRIZ CREST OF HONOR -Obtain an A ranking on every chapter, skirmish (every difficulty), and report Tips: An ultimate completion medal, it is exactly how it says. Complete all the levels in the fewest amount of turns possible. Refer to the "A"/"S" rank guide for specific help on this. ============================================================================== CLOSING/CREDITS/CONTACT INFORMATION [CCC] ============================================================================== Well, that's it.
