Start a new game session in "EX New Game" mode to have the Grade Shop immediately available. You can also purchase "Battle Rank" for 50 Grade points for an additional difficulty. Additionally, load your cleared saved game file to gain access to Nam Cobanda Isle at the northwest part of the world map.
Win the 100-Man Melee Tournament with the indicated character to unlock the corresponding prizes:
- Estell: Comet Light, Imperial Guard, Sanctuary, Secret Magic MX, Star Light

- Karol: Brave Helm, Drill Hammer
- Raven: Celestial Star, Glorious Helm

When you have reached the vault in The Fallen City, Caer Bocram, you should have already acquired the three passwords clues from the old buildings you searched. Enter "Sun" as a password to unlock the vault. The clues were "Light", "Sphere", and "Sky".
You must have access to the town of Arniun before you can do this. Start at Nam Cobanda Isle by talking to the Kowz behind the desk with all the tables around it to trigger a scene. Rita will want to take a test to get the Doctoral Degree. The only way to take the test is for her to find five books:
- At Halure in the Mayor's House: Look at the book shelf.
- At Capua Torim in Fortune's Market HQ: Look at the bookshelf.
- At Heliord in the Investigation Room: Look on the left side of the room.
- At Mantanic in the Inn: Look at the bookshelf.
- At Aurnin in Aurniun's HQ: Look at Flynn's dresser.
- At Capua Torim in Fortune's Market HQ: Look at the bookshelf.
Once you have all the books, go back to the Kowz, and take the test. You will be quizzed on past Tales series of games. It does not matter if you pass or fail; you still get the title either way.
When you gain access to Nam Cobanda Isle, play through the sub-event. Estellise, Karol, Rita, and Yuri will get a costume title. To start the sub-event, walk to the stage in the gymnasium, and talk to the man standing there. Then, just watch the funny scene, and get the titles at the end.
There is a weapon for Rita called a "Sword Whip" that resembles Ivy's Sword Whip from Soul Calibur 4, another Namco Bandai game.
There is an attachment for Estelle that you can synthesize near the end of the game called Mint's Cap. Mint is one of the main characters from Tales Of Phantasia, the first Tales game.
