For completionists who are seeking to earn all of the Achievements and score that Platinum Trophy, you’ll need to collect every Rune in the game. Read on to learn where you can find or buy every last one of them.

Magic Runes¶
There are a total of 24 Magic Runes to seek out in Eiyuden Chronicle, and these Runes feature the elemental Runes, of which there are three tiers, and the elemental enhancement Runes, one for each of the elements. You’ll gain most of these as you progress through the game, but there is one (Rune of Brilliance) that requires you to enter the Hero’s Trial (the toughest content in the game).

Character Exclusive Runes¶
The rest of these Runes are all exclusive to the character that has it equipped (or learns via leveling up). More importantly, these Runes do not count toward The Hero Whom the Runes Smile On Achievement/Trophy, as you only need 119 for this (which are the ones found in the Magic/Skill/Passive/Enhancement categories), so there’s no need to go out and level them up unless you want to use them in battle yourself.
