Marks of Mastery are hidden side-objective trophies rewarded for defeating specific Digimon along set challenge paths. You won’t see them listed as traditional rewards, but they’re critical for unlocking certain achievements.
Step-by-Step: How to Obtain Marks of Mastery
1. Start Ultimate Challenge 4
Begin the Ultimate Challenge 4 mission from the Battle Terminal.
This challenge is ideal for farming Marks since it contains multiple branching paths with repeatable Digimon encounters.
2. Choose a Path and Take Note
Each challenge path has a series of Digimon battles.
Make sure to remember which path you choose, as some Digimon appear on multiple paths.
The Mark of Mastery is tied to defeating a specific Digimon on its designated path, not just any appearance of it.
3. Defeat the Digimon to Earn a Mark
After completing a path and defeating the final Digimon, you’ll receive a trophy—this is your Mark of Mastery.
You won’t always get a visual cue or item drop, but progress is tracked toward the achievement.
4. Repeat and Collect All Marks
To unlock all Marks, you need to complete all variations of the paths in Ultimate Challenge 1 through 4.
This means fighting each unique Digimon assigned to the mastery system.
5. Fight Repeat Digimon Across Challenges
Some Digimon appear across multiple Ultimate Challenges. Make sure you complete every variation of those fights—only certain matchups count toward the Marks.
It’s Tips for Completionists
- Keep a checklist of Digimon you’ve defeated and from which path.
- If you’re unsure whether a fight counted, re-run that path until you’re confident.
- The achievement will unlock once all required Marks of Mastery have been collected from across the Ultimate Challenge series.
This side objective can be confusing if you’re only playing through the challenges once or skipping alternate paths. Focused repetition and path tracking are key. Once you’ve completed all four Ultimate Challenges and collected the required Marks, the achievement should unlock.
