Understanding a phrase - 必ずやらなければならないことを　まとめてみた


I am trying to understand what looks like an expression, but seems too
verbose. And I'm confused by the use of まとめてみた. To put it into context, the
title of this page in my guide book is ひとめでわかる 攻略チャート (Understanding the
strategy chart at a glance).

> 冒険を進めるために、必ずやらなければならないことを まとめてみた。
>
> In order to continue the adventure, if you definitely do the thing you have
> to do altogether try (???)

This is from

> やらなければ ならないことをする - do what one needs to do;
>
> and
>
> まとめて – in one go; all at once; altogether

The final part dsoesn't seem to make sense. It's as if まとめてみた is not needed.




Because translating a whole sentence is prohibited here (in what I
understand), instead I will leave some fragments of words below. So, please
try putting them together into a sentence.

> ～てみる = try to ～ / start by ～ing  
>  まとめる = to summarize  
>  こと = things  
>  ～なければならない = have to / must  
>  やる = to do (almost equivalent to する)  
>  [必]{かなら}ず = invariably / without question




If I understand your question, you just don't know usage of `~~してみた` .

`~~してみた` is very popular on internet recently, you could find `ダンスしてみた`,
`歌ってみた`. this form can be converted into `した`, so `まとめてみた` is simply `まとめた`,
_summarized_.

`してみた` makes past verb and also has nuance of _tried to do_ , but personally I
think the nuance is "tried, but less effort. actually i enjoyed." hmm I hope
this answers your question.
