Please share infos on missions' challenges or bonus.

for example, i would like to know Vizunah Square (foreigner)'s secret challenge objective.

I completed this mission twice with a time of 31 minutes.

Do you think i'll get the bonus if i clear it under 30 minutes?


I checked out Nahpui Quater and it seems that you get the bonus if your party kill all four spirits at the same time?

I've heard that you have to complete Vizunah Square in under 20 minutes to get the maximum completion level. Honestly... that seems a little extreme. I don't know if it's even possible.

But maybe these perfect completion levels were MEANT to be a great challenge? The two on Shing Jea were easy.. but come on, it's like a newbie zone..

First time I succeeded this mission we did it in 29,58 minutes and we recieved the 2nd sword bonus. Third bonus I believe is 25 minutes but I dont know for sure.

If so, does that mean that there's no mission-specific hidden or bonus objectives like in Tyria?

nope - bonuses are all time-based

Someone told me that the time requirement for the mission you do to become Closer to the Stars is so low that the only feasible way to tackle it is to split up your party and take out all 4 bosses at once...
Is that really necessary? I've never even gotten second level of completion for this mission.

I got master for Vizunah square in something like 21 minutes, so I'd wager it's for under 25.

Apparently not all bonuses are time based. Gyala Hatchery seems to award swords according to how many turtles you have left (said '5 turtles survived', then dropped in Master's award, ie none of the turtles died)

I'm still in favor of removing the 'rushing award' and change it to no players died etc awards.

agree with kaguya, turtles or tree singers need to be saved for 3 swords. So not all are time based.

Agree on removing the rush bonusses.

Can one redo a mission to get more swords on the repeat?

Yes, it's like bonus in Tyria. Even if you only have one sword, you can redo the mission to get the 2nd/3rd sword.
