Trials of Mana - Chain Abilities List and Guide

Chain abilities are character abilities that are acquired through allocating training points which can become usable to other members of the party who do not naturally learn them. This allows for a diverse combination of abilities among your characters.

Chain abilities can also be gained from special NPCs, though you will need to progress through the main story to do so.

  1. You’re missing Kindness – Chirry Chain Ability: Stat decrease effect time shortened by 50% – Talk to Chirry after returning to Snow Hamlet Alrant. Angela must be in the party.

  2. I have sent a ticket to Square Enix support about the Mana Blessing ability issue that should state 2% HP not 2% MP

    Its poorly translated and I want this fixed personally because this is unprofessional for a high class game company.

  3. Mana Goddess’ Chain Ability says in game too:”Recover 2% of MP for all allies every 10 seconds in battle.”
    But for real, you recover only HP.

  4. The anise abilities are bugged, they work well on your first set of new game and new game plus, however, if you start a regular new game after that first set, you will be on the last boss challenge you unlocked, for me it’s number 3, and I don’t have the previous chain abilities for challenge 1 and 2

  5. For any other completionists struggling to find “Lupine Soul”, it definitely requires Kevin in the party. It might require Kevin or Charlotte as your main character so that Goremand is the side villain you have to face. The earliest point I could unlock it was immediately after giving the mana sword to Goremand, after the cutscene you can go opposite the gold star behind the throne room for a cutscene with the king of Ferolia. I’m not sure you can get it if you aren’t choosing a character who has to fight Goremand.

  7. I believe the Flammie chain ability requires Riesz to be in the party to have a conversation with her. I did not get it when I played through without her

  8. Also missing the several chain abilities you get from defeating Anise in the time trial that opens up after you defeat her the first time.
    Mission 1: defeat in under 6 minutes – Chaos Protection – Anise Chain ability: Add 100% to all allies’ CS when battle starts
    Mission 2: defeat in under 4 minutes: Dark Power – Anise Chain ability: REcover 100% of all allies’ HP when battle starts
    Mission 3: Defeat in under 2 minutes: Mana Miracle – Kindred Spirits Chain Ability: Keep the item when using an item in battle

  9. You are still missing Spell Shield in Sirhtan if you have Hawkeye in your party. Talk to the rich man who you robbed in the beginning.

    • You miss “more encounter” NPC front Black market.
      And Frammie need Riesz in party. Rich man give you “Spell Shield” in Capital city in Desert map if you have Hawkeye in Party.i try hard for looking NPC who connect with Angela but i’m not sure are they is Crimson Wizard chain ability or not coz i got it after defeat him in Dragonmaw.

  18. Spoke to the jailer in the Night Market in Beiser and got
    “Stat Down Resistance
    Trader Chain Ability: 20% chance of canceling all allies’ stat decrease”.

    Riesz directly interacted with him, so she may need to be in the party, not sure.

    • I am 100% certain Reisz has to be in the parter for the “Induntured Servant” trader to give you this. You do not get the cutscene without her, and my first save was Duran, Angela, and Charlotte. I spoke with him multiple times before I found out about this just to see if he had anything else to say. Cutscene was triggered the first time I talked to him with Reisz in the party, before going to Palo, after saving the Hero King. The timing might change if you don’t have Duran in your party.
