Atelier Ryza Synthesis Guide

How to Synthesize All Items and Where to Find All Materials in Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout for PlayStation 4

Welcome to our Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout Synthesis Guide. The goal of this guide is to provide information on where each of the Materials in the game can be found, as well as how to craft all other items.

If you hope to earn the Alchemy Master trophy, you will need to synthesize every possible item in the game at least once. This is a lot easier to achieve with the information provided in this guide.

How to Synthesize in Atelier Ryza

Synthesis is the key feature of the Atelier Ryza games. Using alchemy, you can create gear, items, and tools with a near-infinite selection of traits and abilities. This complex system requires two things; Recipes and Materials.

You gather materials by exploring the world and using your various tools to extract resources from your surroundings. Recipes, on the other hand, are found in one of two ways; either by receiving a Recipe Book or by performing a “Recipe Morph.”

The majority of Recipe Books in the game will actually be unlocked naturally via story completion, but if you want a full collection, you will need to complete a lot of Quests too. Check out our Atelier Ryza Quests Guide, which will walk you through completing all of them, thus guaranteeing access to the books you earn in this way.

The only books that are not received through Story progress, Quest Progress, or as a Treasure Hunt Reward, are those that you need to purchase from Klaudia’s Dad using your Gold Coins in the Mansion in Old Town:

• Handheld Warheads
• Moon Magic
• Rage of Gaia
• Prayer for Health
• Fantasy Cloth
• Book of Storms
• Travel Companions

As for Recipe Morphs; when synthesizing, look out for any recipes with a small paper icon next to them. This indicates that a “Recipe Morph” is possible. Use your materials to purchase the “Recipe” node while synthesizing to morph the recipe.
