The 15 quest charms
Each of the fifteen charms below is tied to one piece of side content — a Side Story or a Mystery of Kyoto. Maxroll’s table lists them as follows:
| Charm | Source |
|---|---|
| Charm of the Healer | Main story — The Stage is Set at Kiyomizu |
| Charm of Zeal | Side Story — Pale Lights in the Night Sky |
| Sadist’s Strength Charm | Side Story — Clear Space, Clear Mind |
| Charm of Purification | Mystery — The Blessed Man |
| Reaper’s Charm | Side Story — An Ugly Business |
| Charm of Stamina | Side Story — The Growling Ghost |
| Charm of Dexterity | Side Story — Noisy Neighbors |
| Inner Strength Charm | Mystery — Something in the Water |
| Charm of Enticement | The Odd Couples |
| Blazing Charm | Mystery — Worm-ly Ways |
| Fencer’s Strength Charm | Mystery — The Faceless |
| Charm of Awakening | A Fishy Story |
| Charm of Oni Power | Side Story — Restless Spirits |
| Oni Strength Charm | Some Unfinished Monkey Business |
| Charm of Protection | Mystery — The Night Parade |
Three entries — The Odd Couples, A Fishy Story and Some Unfinished Monkey Business — carry no quest-type label in Maxroll’s table, which is why they are listed here without one. PowerPyx summarizes the whole set as coming from the Chance Encounter and Mystery of Kyoto side systems; either way, the rule that matters: finish side content and the fifteen come to you, with none missable before the final mission’s point of no return.
The eight Mysteries of Kyoto and eighteen Chance Encounters that host much of this list are themselves collectible trophies — the trophy guide tables every count.
How charm upgrading works
Upgrading happens at Enma Hall and costs two currencies: Red Souls and Favor. Favor comes from food items found around the levels and from rescuing distressed Kyoto citizens — the same activity behind the Citizen Savior trophy. Maxroll’s posted costs:
| Level | Red Souls | Favor |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 3,000 | 3,500 |
| 3 | 6,000 | 6,500 |
Effects scale across the three levels — Maxroll’s example shows a +4/6/8% progression — so a fully upgraded charm is roughly double its base effect. Across fifteen charms that is 135,000 Red Souls in total, which makes the soul farming guide the natural companion page.
The six Lovable charms
Separate from the trophy set, six cosmetic Lovable charms exist as bonuses:
| Charm | How it is obtained |
|---|---|
| Lovable Charm: Kubi Akari | Demo completion |
| Lovable Charm: Lion Dog | Pre-order bonus |
| Lovable Charm: White Monkey | Pre-order (listed against the Deluxe Edition in Maxroll’s table) |
| Lovable Charm: Oni Lady | Deluxe Edition |
| Lovable Charm: Little Dancer | Deluxe Edition |
| Lovable Charm: Mentor | Deluxe Edition |
The pre-order and Deluxe Edition bonuses are the same items this wiki tracks on the editions page. To claim any purchased bonus charm, visit a Spirit Mirror and open Additional Content — a gold chest icon means unclaimed, grey means already claimed. That is the same claim flow documented step by step on the Monster Hunter Rise collab page.
Charmed Life and where to go next
Finding all fifteen quest charms unlocks Charmed Life, one of the collectible trophies on the Platinum roadmap. For loadout thinking: you have three slots, so most players run one sustain charm, one damage charm and one utility pick — IGN publishes a Best Charms breakdown if you want someone else’s picks ranked. For the other big item set in the game, see all seven Oni Armaments and their locations.
