How to get Sword of Marvels in Second Story R

To obtain the Sword of Marvels, you’ll need to unlock the pickpocket specialty and use it to obtain a special item called a “Goodie Box.” Opening this box grants you three random items, one of which could be the Sword of Marvels.

To begin your quest for the Sword of Marvels, you’ll need to visit Marze Village. This village is located northeast of Krosse City. Once you arrive in Marze Village, head towards the Inn with a bed icon. There, you’ll find an NPC who possesses the Goodie Box. Use the pickpocket specialty to steal the Goodie Box from the NPC.

Remember, obtaining the Goodie Box can be challenging, as your pickpocketing level will likely be low in the early stages of the game. So you𝔍 may have a low succ🧜ess rate when it comes to stealing one from the NPC. To increase your chances, create a save file just before attempting to pickpocket the NPC.

Try your luck three times by attempting to steal the Goodie Box. If you fail to obtain it, reload the save file and try again. As you progress in SO2, you’ll eventually acquire the Relaxed Perfume, allowing you to increase the number of pickpocket attempts.

Alternative methods to obtain the Goodie Box

Apart from pickpocketing, there are also other ways to obtain the Goodie Box in Star Ocean Second Story R. You can try the same save and load trick after scoring one froಞm the other ways. Those include:

Fishing at Harley

You can cast your line in Harley, and land a Goodie Box inst𝐆ead of a fish. To begin, head to Harley and locate a suitable fishing spot, cast your line, and patiently wait for a bite. It may take a few attempts, but eventually, you should be rewarded with a Goodie Box🍨.

Trading Fish with Reel

Another method to acquire the Sword of Marvels is through trading fish with an NPC, Reel, in Harley. Approach Reel, who can be found near the docks, and select the “Trade Fish” option. Reel is interested in specific types of fish for specific rewards, and offers you a Goodie Box in exchange for a Rabbit Sunfish, Amber Perch, and Star Ruby Eye.

Crafting

For those who prefer a more hands-on approach, crafting a Goodie Box is an alternative method to obtain the Sword of Marvels. To craft a Goodie Box you need Magic Clay, which you can purchase from The Newt’s Eye shop in Marze. Once you have the Magic Clay, focus on leveling up your Art skills to level 4. You can achieve this by utilizing the Sketching and Aesthetics abilities. As your Art skills improve, you can craft a G💟oodie Box.

Completing a Challenge Mission

Another way to obtain the Goodie Box is by completing a challenge mission called “Complete 10% of the Item Encyclopedia.” To quickly achieve this goal, you can focus on crafting accessories and cooking food. By doing so, you’ll gradually increase your progress towards completing 10% of the Item Encyclopedia, thereby earning the Goodie Box as a reward.
