Atelier Yumia: Memory Alchemist's Land Synthesis Guide
One of the most intricate components of *Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land* is its Synthesis mechanic, which is deeply integrated into nearly every aspect of gameplay. From the resources you gather to the weapons you forge, understanding Synthesis can significantly enhance your gaming experience. Here's a detailed guide on how to master this essential system.
Synthesis Types in Atelier Yumia
In Atelier Yumia, there are three primary types of Synthesis:
- Regular Synthesis: Performed at an Alchemist's altar, this method is crucial for crafting weapons, armor, battle accessories, magical items, and essential materials.
- Simple Synthesis: Available through the radial menu outside of battle, this allows you to craft items like bandages, gauntlets for ziplines, and repair kits for treasure chests and ladders.
- Building Synthesis: Accessed via the radial menu in specific building zones, it involves creating storage chests and wall hangings, though not officially labeled as Synthesis in the game's interface.
Regular Synthesis becomes accessible once you unlock the Atelier, your central hub for crafting. Additionally, you can construct Simple Altars at cleared manabound zones and campsites for on-the-go crafting.

How to Synthesize Equipment in Atelier Yumia
The regular Synthesis at altars is the most complex yet rewarding part of the mechanic. To craft an item like a gun staff for Yumia, you first need to discover the recipe during your explorations. You can enhance existing recipes at a Recipe Recall Station using particles from mana fountains. The process at the Alchemist's altar involves:
- Choosing the type of gun staff you want to create.
- Selecting Synthesis Skills if you've unlocked them in the skill tree.
- Picking an initial Alchemy Core to build upon:
- Effects Alchemy Core enhances the chosen skills.
- Quality Alchemy Core boosts the item's quality level.
- Trait Alchemy Core increases available Trait Crystal slots.
- Filling the slots of each Alchemy Core with collected resources.
- Collecting mana fragments to further improve the item's quality.
- Completing the Synthesis to create your item.
Unlocking Synthesis Skills early in the game from the skill tree is crucial as they provide significant boosts to damage and quality, and allow item duplication, which conserves resources.
To maximize item quality, you can add resources to all three Alchemy Cores by using the left or right bumper to switch between them. Collecting the mana fragments (yellow sparkles) around each core will significantly enhance the item's strength, a step you should take unless crafting a quest-specific item.
When filling slots, prioritize resources that match the element type indicated by a blue outline. You can also organize your resources in the submenu to prioritize higher-quality ones or focus on specific effects.
If the detailed process seems overwhelming, you can opt for the auto-Synthesis feature after selecting your Synthesis Skills. The game efficiently crafts the best possible item, making it feasible to tackle even the final boss on Normal difficulty with relative ease.
And that's a comprehensive overview of how to leverage the Synthesis mechanic in Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land to its fullest potential.
