Tales of Symphonia – Use both technical and striking arts.

This guide explains how to get all arts (technical and strike) for each character by editing the save file.

Table

Changing Arts

Here are the stories from Symphonia’s save directory:

• [The directory where Steam is installed]\userdata\\372360\remote

To change anything in the saved file, you’ll need a hex editor. For this tutorial, I’m going to use HxD.

For example I’m going to replace Lloyd’s arts in save slot 100 (TOSSaveData99.dat). When starting a new game, Lloyd only has the Demon Fang as seen here:

• 01) When you open the save file in HxD it looks like this:

• 02) Select Edit > Block… (You can also press CTRL+E)

• 03) First, make sure “End Offset” and “Hex” are selected. From the table above in this guide you should check what the start and end offsets are for each character. For Lloyd, Start-offset should be 5A8, while End-offset should be 5AB. Click OK once you have typed the correct start and end offsets.

• 04) If you did it correctly the offsets 5A8 to 5AB should be highlighted as seen here:

• 05) From the table above in this guide, you should copy the correct value for this character. For Lloyd, you want to copy FFFF7FFE.
• 06) Choose Edit > Paste Right or you can press CTRL+B.

• 07) If you did it correctly, you should see “FFFF7FFE” highlighted in red. All you have to do is save the file.

• 08) Now start the game and load the save file that you have modified. You should now have all of Lloyd’s arts. Don’t enjoy learning and forget about changing arts again.
