The Trickster is one of the more interesting fighting styles you can unlock in Grand Blue because you cannot simply walk up to a trainer and purchase it. You need to complete a specific progression involving Loki, collect two skills from a boss, and eventually travel to Clown Town to finish the unlock. If you are trying to get Trickster as quickly as possible, this guide covers the important requirements, where to find the NPCs, and what you need to do from start to finish.
Trickster Requirements in Grand Blue
Before starting the Trickster progression, make sure you have the required skills. You need to obtain:
- Pickpocket
- Pocket Sun
- Enough Gold for the final requirement
- Access to the required areas and islands
- Completion of Loki’s quest progression
The two skills are especially important because Loki’s dialogue and progression will not fully open until you have the required abilities.
How to Get Pickpocket and Pocket Sun
The first step is farming Aaru the Hoarder in Anchor Town. This boss is the source of the skills required for the Trickster progression.
Defeat Aaru repeatedly until you obtain the necessary drops. According to the provided information, both Pickpocket and Pocket Sun have around a 10% drop chance, so getting them can take several attempts.
It is a good idea to focus on getting both skills before traveling to the later parts of the quest. This prevents you from reaching Loki only to discover that you are missing one of the required abilities.
How to Find Loki in Grand Blue
Once you have Pickpocket and Pocket Sun, you can begin Loki’s progression. Find Loki and interact with him. He will provide requirements and quests that you need to complete. Follow his dialogue and finish each task he gives you before moving on.
This part is important because Trickster is a secret fighting style. Simply finding Loki is not enough to immediately obtain the style. You need to complete the progression connected to him first. After finishing Loki’s required quests, you can move on to the next location.
Travel to Clown Town
After completing Loki’s quest line, set sail toward Clown Town. This is where you will find the next part of the Trickster progression.
Once you arrive, head toward the Ferris wheel. The area around the Ferris wheel can make the NPC slightly difficult to spot, so make sure you explore the upper sections rather than only checking the ground.
You need to climb up around the Ferris wheel until you find Loki again.
Talk to Loki Near the Ferris Wheel
When you reach Loki, interact with him to continue the Trickster progression.
If you have completed the necessary requirements, Loki will allow you to proceed with unlocking the fighting style. The provided information shows a requirement of 1,000 Gold at this stage.
Therefore, make sure you have enough Gold before making the trip to Clown Town. If you do not have the required amount, you will need to farm more currency before completing the unlock.
How to Unlock Trickster
Once you have completed Loki’s quests, obtained both required skills, and have enough Gold, the final process is straightforward. Follow these steps:
- Go to Anchor Town.
- Find Aaru the Hoarder.
- Farm the boss until you obtain Pickpocket.
- Continue farming until you obtain Pocket Sun.
- Find Loki and begin his quest progression.
- Complete every requirement Loki gives you.
- Travel to Clown Town.
- Head toward the Ferris wheel.
- Climb to the upper area where Loki is located.
- Talk to Loki again.
- Pay the required 1,000 Gold when prompted.
- Complete the remaining requirements to unlock Trickster.
How to Switch to Trickster
After unlocking Trickster, you do not need to stay with it permanently. Grand Blue allows players with multiple fighting styles to switch between them through the Wardrobe.
Head to the Beginner Town and locate the Wardrobe. Interact with it by pressing E, then look for the fighting style section.
From there, select Trickster if you have successfully unlocked it. This allows you to change between your available fighting styles without having to learn the style again.
Tips for Getting Trickster Faster
The biggest part of the Trickster grind is obtaining the required skills from Aaru the Hoarder. Since the reported drop chance is around 10%, do not worry if the skills do not appear immediately.
A few things can make the process easier:
- Farm Aaru before traveling to Clown Town.
- Make sure you have both Pickpocket and Pocket Sun.
- Keep enough Gold available for Loki.
- Finish Loki’s quests completely before moving to Clown Town.
- Look around the upper sections of the Ferris wheel area.
- Use the Wardrobe in Beginner Town after unlocking Trickster to switch styles.
Trickster is worth pursuing if you want to collect the more unique fighting styles in Grand Blue. Unlike the standard styles that can be obtained directly from trainers, Trickster requires additional progression and boss farming, making the unlock process more involved.
The main challenge is not necessarily the final interaction with Loki, but getting the required skills beforehand. Once you have Pickpocket and Pocket Sun, the remaining progression becomes much easier to follow. Overall, if Trickster is the fighting style you are targeting, start by farming Aaru the Hoarder, then work through Loki’s quests and finish the final step in Clown Town.
