Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete Side Quest
Bromides
The North American PlayStation release has thirteen Bromides. This is a text-only timing checklist. It does not reproduce the collectible images, screenshots, or dialogue.
| Bromide | Where | Window | What to do | Missable note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luna's Bromide 1 | Ramus' shop in Meribia | Epilogue | Talk to Ramus until he gives it to you. | Confirmed; collect it before speaking to Laike at the harbor to end the playable epilogue. |
| Luna's Bromide 2 | Basement shelves in Alex's house, Burg | After Luna is kidnapped and before returning to Meribia with the Dragon Wings | Examine the shelves on the left side of the basement. | Yes; confirmed as Luna's Bromide 2. |
| Mia's Bromide 1 | Nash's inventory | When Nash joins | Check Nash's carried items and preserve the Bromide when party inventory changes. | Keep it with the party when Nash's inventory changes later in the route. |
| Mia's Bromide 2 | Red-haired student in Vane's eastern classroom | After returning from the Frontier and before retrieving Nash | Talk to the student before rebuilding the party. | Yes. |
| Mia's Bromide 3 | Ramus' shop in Meribia | Epilogue | If you paid Ramus' 30 Silver debt before leaving Burg for the Weird Woods, talk to him again after receiving Luna's Bromide 1 and buy it. | Yes; confirmed unavailable in a save that skipped the debt. PlayStation references tie the sale to the early payment, but the exact payment deadline has not been directly reproduced. |
| Mia's Bromide 4 | Upper-right house in Iluk | After Nash destroys the balloon engine and before leaving for the Frontier | Return to Iluk and talk to the man in the house. | Yes. |
| Jess' Bromide 1 | Althena's Shrine | After Kyle joins and before leaving for the Frontier | Talk repeatedly to the blue-haired admirer at the north end of the shrine. | Yes; external prose usually calls it Jessica's Bromide 1. |
| Jess' Bromide 2 | Lann boatman | Set up before defeating Zoc; collect after the balloon engine is destroyed and before leaving for the Frontier | Return from Lann Island and talk to the boatman until he repeats himself, then revisit him in the later window. | Confirmed; both the setup and collection windows are required. |
| Jess' Bromide 3 | Ramus' shop in Meribia | Epilogue | If you paid Ramus' 30 Silver debt before leaving Burg for the Weird Woods, talk to him again after receiving Luna's Bromide 1 and buy it. | Yes; PlayStation references tie the sale to the early debt payment, but the exact payment deadline has not been directly reproduced. |
| Jess' Bromide 4 | Under Kyle's bed in Nanza | Immediately after Kyle defeats Xenobia's minions and before talking to Kyle | Search the bed with the red-diamond pattern before advancing the conversation. | Yes; this is an immediate stop-before-talking boundary. |
| Xenobia Bromide | Talon Mine settlement | After the Grindery rolls away and before leaving the Frontier | Return to the rescued-miner area and talk to the miners until they repeat themselves. | Yes. |
| Phacia's Bromide | Althena's Shrine | After the Vile Tribe sisters reveal themselves and before returning to Meribia | Talk to Phacia's assistant at the north end of the shrine. | Yes; this is the PlayStation-specific acquisition window. |
| Royce's Bromide | Black Rose Street, Meribia | After Mel is turned to stone and before traveling to Vane | Talk repeatedly to Royce's admirer in the first house. | Yes. |
Conservative Ramus debt deadline
- The upstairs weapon-shop NPC still accepts the debt payment after the first White Dragon Cave visit, but it is not confirmed whether paying that late sets the epilogue Bromide flag. The safe route pays before leaving Burg for the Weird Woods; paying before the White Dragon Cave is the most conservative option.
