Hints
Defeating Captain's Chariot
To defeat Captain's Chariot ("cannon" in shipwreck), when they shoot at you, try to dodge it. Select Goro if he is very strong, otherwise play as Toan. Target it and keep looking at it. Walk towards it and try to bring it to the wall (until you cannot go further). During this entire time he will not shoot you. When he is at the wall, keep hitting him until he is defeated.
Defeating Black Pendragon
When fighting the Black Pendragon at the end of the Demon Shaft, only attack with one hit then retreat. If you attempt a combo he will counter and cause your sword, no matter how powerful, to instantly break. Save immediately before you attempt to battle him, to avoid losing any precious weapons such as a Chronicle Sword.
Note: When you defeat Black Pendragon, a light will shoot down on him. This is when you find the Chronicle 2 sword.
Defeating Dark Genie
Note: It is recommended that you max out your Ultimate Weapons' stats before confronting this Boss. The Dark Genie's first form has a variety of attacks. One of them is an energy beam that can instantly kill a character. To dodge this attack, you need to constantly be on the move. Its other attacks are fairly easy to dodge. Start out with Toan and try to dodge the hand. Look and see what color of the eye on the hand is. For example, if the color is yellow, you would use Thunder as the element for your weapon. Go to your weapons menu and make the needed adjustments. You will need to do so several times. After enough damage has been done, the Dark Genie will change its attack pattern. It will no longer use the hand attack. Instead, it will stand up and blast energy beams. Switch to Xiao and use her sling shot. Lock on to Genie's head and fire. Be sure to keep on moving around the platform to dodge its attack. The Dark Genie's second form is much bigger but its attacks are almost the same. The target now is the bright orb that sticks of his mouth. Use Toan and apporach it and attack. Back away as he attacks, then repeat. Watch out for the two monsters that Genie calls out, however it is not required to kill them.
Stock up on Revival, Stand-In and Repair powders. It makes the battle easier if you find some Stamina Potions. Save the game, then go to the Dark Genie's lair. There are three important sounds you must listen to in order to figure out what attack the Dark Genie is doing. One is a "Hah" sound, which indicates he is using his wings to make an unblockable wind that causes major damage. Switch to the player with the highest defense. The second sound is a "Yar", which indicates his hand attack. Use the strongest weapon and set its attribute to "None". This causes a lot of damage, especially if you drink a Stamina Potion. The hands are easy to dodge; just run back and forth along the back wall. After you defeat his hands the third sound will happen. It sounds like "Her". When you hear this, run away from where he is aiming his instant killing energy beam and do a charge up Holy Shot with Ruby. Stamina potions help a lot here. Make sure to run around near the Dark Genie's pit this time. After you defeat him, you will meet his second form. This is extremely easy . It is easier if you have a Drans Feather or two. He has two helpers that do not require that much attention. He will shoot a instant killing energy beam which can be hard to dodge if you let his helpers get in your way. After he rests his head, move in for the kill. Use a strong sword with the Holy attribute. Run in and slash once and retreat, because he does an energy pound that chases you. Run away then quickly run back in and slash again. Repeat the tactic to defeat him quicker. If his helpers get in your way, run all the way to the back and lead them there. Then, get ready to press the attack on the Dark Genie again until he dies.
Get the Chronicle Sword for Toan. Power it up until it is very strong. After destroying Dark Genie's hands, Status Break Chronicle Sword to Ruby's strongest weapon. You will destroy his head very quickly. Then, kill his last form with Ruby. Save the game and turn off the PlayStation2. When you resume the game, you will have Chronicle Sword again.
Defeating Dran
To defeat the first boss, Dran, run around the area and shoot him with Xiao's slingshot. As soon as you hit him, run up and attack him with your sword. Repeat this until he dies. Depending on the strength of your sword, this could take a long time.
Change to Xiao, then run around the edge (the part that does not crack) and shoot him. Then, switch to Toan and hit him with your sword. You may want to spend some time building up Toan's sword before you face Dran.
Use Toan to run around the arena as Dran makes the holes. When there are a lot of holes, switch to Xiao and lock onto Dran. Wait for him to fly over one of the holes. When he gets over one, shoot him with the sling shot. This will cause him to fall down a hole and take a lot of damage without you having to risk your health by attacking him.
Go into the Divine Beast Cave and get around 2500 Gilda. Next, go back up to the Odd Gaffer's Buggy and buy twenty or thirty bombs.Go back down to Dran and have Xiao shoot his underbelly to get him to land. If you shoot him in the face, he lands and attacks with a type of headbutt. Once Dran is on the ground, have your character throw bombs at him repeatedly (use the "Ready Items" at the top of the screen) until he flies back up. Repeat this until he is defeated.
One of the easiest ways to defeat Dran without getting hurt is to use Xiao the entire time. Get over three Repair Powders for her slingshot before you go into the Divine Beast Cave. A Steel Slingshot +3 also helps, but is not required. When the fight begins, switch from Toan to Xiao. Put the target lock on Dran and do not take it off. This is crucial to not get hit. Target lock Dran and hit him in the face with the slingshot. He will charge you, but you will have plenty of time to get out of the way. By the time he lands your slingshot should be ready to go again, and you will hit Dran in the face (since you are target locked on him and know exactly where he is). Repeat this until he dies/snaps out of his trance.
Buy about twenty bombs. When in the Battlefield use Xaio and shoot Dran to get him on the ground. Then, equip the bombs and throw them at him. It works very fast.
Defeating Ice Queen Saia
Buy about fifteen Fire Gems from Joker's Store in Queens. If you need money, sell fishing bait. When the battle starts, use a Drans Feather to get very close to her while trying to avoid her shots. When you are close enough to her, get a lock and just keep tossing the gems at her. It is best if you can keep her trapped in a corner.
At the start of the battle, run back towards the door and switch to Xiao (easier to control) and get behind either of the pillars that are closest to the door. Lock on to the Ice Queen and get behind the pillar so that you cannot see her. The Ice Queen's Icy Blasts cannot hit you as long as you are behind one of those pillars. Take one or two steps out from behind the pillar after you see a bluish cloud, and attack with Xiao. Then, dodge back to your hiding place. If it says "No Effect" then switch to Ruby (make sure Ruby's weapon Attribute is on Fire) and repeat the same thing you did with Xiao. Then, switch back to Xiao, you can attack about five times before it says "No Effect". Once again, switch to Ruby and attack once. Keep repeating this attack pattern and you will defeat the Queen while remaining completely uninjured. If you get frozen, switch characters quickly -- the frozen character will sometimes break free. If a fireball shoots down, switch characters and run -- the fire ball will miss.
When the battle begins, use a Dran's Feather and get very close to her. Attack with a powerful sword and retreat. If your sword is strong enough, it will immediately break La Saia's shield. Next, attack with Ruby until she raises the shield then attack with Toan again. Keeping this attack pattern will defeat the Queen very quickly. Note: Make sure you take Cheeses and Throbbing Cherries, and set your weapon's attribute on Fire.
This Boss has a large amount of health, so use Goro if possible because he has a very high attack. It also helps if he has the Holy Judgment Hammer. Also have a lot of fire gems (at least 20 or 30). Start by attacking with Goro or a character with a high attack and break her ice shield. Then, attack her with Ruby;s Fire attribute attack. After you do this, her ice shield will reappear normally after doing a move that does a fair amount of damage in a big circle. It is easy to avoid, but sometimes it is faster to just take the damage. Repeat this using fire gems when you can. After doing this about fifteen or more times (depending on your attack) she will be defeated. Also have a lot of Cheese, Rival Powder, Repair Powder, and Stand In Powder for the battle.
Get about 2000 Gilda and buy ten Fire Gems. Attack her shield, then put the Fire Gems in the active item slot and attack her. It is possible to killer her with one powered-up fireball.
When the battle starts, run to the topmost pillar and switch to Xiao. Then, lock on to her and fire seven shots. Watch out for her ice blasts. When her shield is down switch to Ruby and use a charged up flame blaster fire attack. It will require twelve to fifteen hits to bring down the queen. If this does not happen, rush up and use Toan to break her shield, then use Ruby.
Hit her with about fifteen Fire Gems and she will eventually die.
When the battle starts, use Goro and get close to La Sia and use his Magic Hammer. Set the attribute to Fire (because that is the only thing that will work) then go up and whack her shield at close range. It may do about 200 to 300 damage. Next, switch to Ruby and use her ring with the attribute of Fire and use a charge attack. However, make sure to dodge the ice bullets she fires and the tornadoes that she creates. Also make sure you have a lot of Revival Powder, about two to three Inferno Gems, and a lot of Repair Powder.
Defeating Masterutan
Use Goro for the entire time. Select Goro's Battle Ax, keep attacking the big ape, and trap him against the edge of the battlefield. He will eventually die.
Use Toan and your strongest sword. You can also try this with the Wise Owl Sword with damage of 55, which is the maximum. Run towards him -- do not hang back and let him shoot the seeds at you. Get him to swing at you and evade the blow. When he becomes dizzy, run in, charge one blink (so Toan will do his jumping slash) and attack. His weak spot is his head, although it is not targeted when pressing [Circle]. He has around 500HP.
When fighting Masterutan, he will sometimes bounce away from you and eat some fruit. After he eats this, he will turn and spit seeds at you. Instead of trying to avoid them by running, hold [R1] to block his attack. Your character will raise their weapon and block all the shots.
Before you fight him, make sure you have plenty of Repair Powders. When you first go in, use Toan to block the seeds that Masterutan will spit at you. Get close to him and switch to Xiao. Target Masterutan and keep him in target lock. Hit him about three or four times with your slingshot and move out of the way. Keep doing this and he will eventually die/snap out of his trance. You may also choose to move Xiao while hitting him with the slingshot, but this seems to result in a lot of "no effect" hits.
Keep using Toan's special attack. If you do this about six times, he will die. Note: Try to get a Wise Owl Sword +5 attachment and equip it to the Serpent sword to get about a 65 attack.
Defeating Minotaur
Use either Toan or Osmond. As the Minotaur runs around the arena, barrels will start to fall. The Minotaur will pick up a barrel and start drinking. Run towards him and attack, then retreat. Repeat this process and avoid his charge attacks for an easy victory. Note: The barrels count as Stamina Drinks to the Minotaur, so do not let him finish drinking, or one attack will probably kill you.
Switch to Osmond and when the Minotaur picks up a wine barrel and drinks it, get close to him, switch to Toan, and attack. Keep doing this until he is dead.
As soon as the battle starts, switch to your strongest character. When the Minotaur begins to grab a barrel and drink, get as close as you can and attack. Only do this once or he will knock you back. Repeat this until he is dead.
Take out Ungaga and when the Minotaur chases you, lock on but back off. Lead him into a barrel, and before he finishes drinking it, attack him. Back off and lead him into another barrel. Repeat this tactic until he dies. Stock up on Repair Powders and swing away.
Use Goro for this when he has the Last Judgment hammer. Dodge the Minotaur until he goes to drink from one of the barrels. Then, smash his toes. He will stop drinking and it does a lot of damage to him.
Defeating the Sun Moon Temple Boss
First, use Ungaga to clear the dark wind around him, then switch to Toan and hit with a charge attack. Repeat for about fifteen to twenty times. This Boss is extremely easy.
Defeating Rockonoff
When you fight a Rockonoff in the first dungeon, use Xiao and any slingshot. Keep your distance from it with Dran's Feather. When you get far enough, press [R2] to go into first person view and start shooting. It will not move if you position yourself correctly.
Extra damage as Ruby
When Ruby is your chosen character, to get the same damage as she would with a charge hold [Down]. Release it before she glows. She should do more damage and take only 1 instead of 2 WHP.
Invincibility
Successfully complete every level up to the Gallery Of Time then return to any either of the first two levels. No damage will be done to you when someone attacks. You will loose life only when you go to back levels and when you get poisoned.
Boss clues
When fighting a Boss, use Xiao with Steve. Steve will talk and give hints on how to defeat the Bosses.
Skipping duels
Before you enter the duel, change to any character except Toan. Note: You still will have to duel to advance in the game.
Easy money
You can sell fishing bait and useless items such as Bombs, Fire Gems, Ice Gems, etc. However, fishing bait sells for more money.
After completing the Sunken Ship and getting all City Pieces, go to the Fish Shop. Buy the Flapping Fish and an Ice Cube. Use the map and go to Sunken Ship level 1. Run around until you find the entrance to the back floors. Use the Flapping Fish when you find the entrance. A big fish will appear. Get in the fish -- press [X] when next to him, and choose the option to get in. Once you get to the back floors, all or almost all treasures will be gems. You can either use them for attachments or sell them. This can repeated as many times as needed.
When you die in the dungeon without stand in powder, you have to pay half of your money. To prevent this, just use your money to buy gold bullion. They cost 1,000 and you can sell them for 1,000.
If you have over 10,000 in gilda or bullion, step in a vortex and you get will get "increased money". Your gilda will increase by 10,000.
Go to the first floor of the Divine Beast Cave and kill some monsters. Use Xiao with her Bandit Slingshot. Sometimes, you will get a Crysknife, or a similar weapon. Get money by killing monsters and selling fishing bait and weapons.
Go to Muska Racka pond in Muska Rucka village. Wait until dawn and begin fishing. Use the poisonous apple as bait. Doing so will allow you to catch a Mardan Garayan most of the time. These fish easily give 200 to 500 FP. Once you catch one, choose the "Exchange FP" option. Buy a Mighty Healing, which costs 15 FP. Next, sell a Mighty Healing to any shop and get 150 gilda. Stock up on poisonous apples at Lana's Shop in Queens. Likewise, if you catch a Mardan Garayan and get 300 FP, you can buy 20 Mighty Healing, which will give you up to 3000 gilda once you sell them. Use only poisonous apples because only Mardan Garayans go for them. You can also fish at the waterfall in Matataki Villiage at night.
To get extra money in Norune, buy ten to fifteen bombs and go into a level in the Divine Beast Cave with a lot of stone monsters or dragons (nine to fourteen). Use the bomb to blow up the dragons or stone monsters (Statues, Rocknoffs, etc.). You should get a Stone Breaker or Dinoslayer. Sell those to Odd Gaffer for double the amount the you bought the bombs for.
If you run out of money, sell all the amulets you get. Sell all the fishing bait and all attachments except for gems. Sell Wind Gems, Fire Gems, etc. Also sell useless weapons, unless you want to status break them.
You need Goro and his Big Bucks Hammer to do this trick. Find an enemy that steals your money. When you defeat it, the game gives double or triple your money back because the hammer gives double Gilda.
Easy experience
Once you get to or past the Sunken Ship, go to the Fish Shop. buy the Flapping Fish and an Ice Cube. Go to the Sunken Ship level 14 find the "?" mark on the map. Use the Flapping Fish to get to the back area of level 14. There are 8 monsters each that give 24 EXP -- A total of 192 EXP each time you enter the level. You do not have to leave the dungeon once you have defeated all the monsters. Just go back to level 14 and return to the level 14 back area and they will appear again. If you have a new weapon that you want to build up, switch to another character that is more powerful. Get the monster's HP low, then switch to that new weapon and kill with one hit. Your new weapon will get the EXP.
Easy battles
Find a shop that has bombs (for example, the first shop in Norune Village). Ask the person that is running the shop if you can shop there. Trade in all fish bait and sword gems (Garnet, Sea, Pearl, Ruby, Diamond). Buy as many bombs, water, and bread as possible. Go to any dungeon and put nine bombs in one pouch. When you see a monster, lock on and throw it. Most monsters take one bomb, but the big Mimic takes two or three. Repeat this to all monsters in all floors of the dungeons and it will be a lot easier, especially when you can only use a certain character on some floors.
Easy Abs
For a good amount of Abs, find a group of Sun Dews and go into the back area of the Wise Owl Forest: Level 10. The Werewolves there give 24 Abs for each kill.
When fighting the Werewolves to build up your weapons, equip a strong weapon that can kill the Werewolves in two or three hits and does not get damaged in the process. As you score the last hit that kills the Werewolf, quickly press [Triangle]. Equip the weak weapon you are trying to build up and exit out of the menus. The werewolf should turn gray, drop to the ground, and disappear. The weaker weapon you equipped will get the 24 Abs without having to land a blow or take any damage. Switch back to your powerful weapon and repeat.
The best way to upgrade a weapon is in the back floor of DemonShaft on 21. They result in 40 Abs for each kill. This is very useful when upgrading Toan.
Get a very strong sword (for example, Chronicle, Seventh Heaven, etc.). Then, kill an enemy and while it is fading, change to a weak sword. It will gain the Abs instead of the strong sword.
To quickly power up lower level weapons, slay an enemy with a different arm. Before the enemy body vanishes, switch to the weapon you wish to enhance. the experience will be issued to the weapon that is currently equipped. The harder the foe, the more experience you will receive.
Switch to a strong character and attack an enemy, but do not kill it. When the enemy's health is very low, switch to a weaker character and kill it. The weaker character will get the Abs instead of the stronger character. Note: You may want to do this in the Moon Sea, Gallery of Time, or the Demon Shaft.
When you enter any back floor, kill all monsters then, leave using the secret entrance (the ? on the map). Then, kill all back floor monsters again. Every time you leave and return, new monsters will appear.
Go to the Wise Owl Forest and get a Sun Dew. Then, go to level 10. Once you have the Sun Dew. go in the back room, collect the gems, and kill the monsters. Exit the back room and re-enter it again. The monsters will be there again, but the gems will not.
Keep Abs
Decrease Abs Limited Zones can get very annoying, especially when your weapon is near upgrade. However, there is a way to avoid this. When you kill an enemy, immediately before his body disappears and you lose the Abs, switch to an ally. Neither the person who killed the monster, nor the ally, will lose any Abs.
On the floors that reduce Abs while fighting, there is a way to avoid this. Abs are only reduced after the monster has been killed. Immediately after the monsters health reaches zero, press [Select] and change to a different character. Neither characters will lose Abs.
Easy attachments
Go to Queens, buy a fish, then go to the shipwreck. Access the back floors and open the treasure chests to get useful gems and attachments very easily. Make sure you buy an Ice and put it next to the fish so that it does not go bad when you use it to get in the back floors.
Use a bomb to destroy a monster. It will give you an attachment that repels the monster's type.
If you buy bombs and throw them at the enemy in the first floor of the Divine Beast Cave you will get attachments. You can keep or sell them. This is a way to get easy money.
Free items
If you do not build Old Gaffer's Buggy, you may still get free items from the mayor and build your weapons up very high to get ready for the second village, Matataki Village. Note: This will take some time, but is worth the effort.
When you get low on health and your sword is about to break, from the Divine Beast Cave go to the mayor's house in Norune village. He will give you some items to help you. When you build the hag's house she will store items for you. Get the items from the mayor and store it in the hag's house. Keep repeating this until you are ready for Matataki village. Note: If you build Old Gaffer's Buggy then you cannot get any more items from the mayor.
More items in Old Gaffer's Buggy
In Norune Village, you can get more items in Old Gaffer's Buggy. To do this, you must build Pike's house before building Gaffer's Buggy. Then Pike will help Gaffer put up the sign, he will not break his back, and he will have a lot more items in the store. However, if you do not do this and Gaffer breaks his back, his store will only contain a few items.
Early guns
When you reach Yellow Drops and are told about the Moon Sea, you can shop at the store. You can buy Osmand's guns before you even get Osmand as an ally. You will not have to waste more time going all the way back and buying them. You can buy a "Snail" and a "Jakal".
Finding treasure chests in villages
Once you are in a village, choose Georama mode and skim through the area. You can spot treasure chests around the area quicker this way.
Big chests
When you see a big chest, walk up to it and force it open. When you guess the trap, it is the next one down from what the last chest was. If you guess wrong, look at the bottom of the screen and it will say what the trap was. Walk up to it again and when it asks you to guess, guess what it said at the bottom.
When you open a big treasure chest, guess wrong, and the trap is explosion, run away as soon as it happens and you will take no damage.
Easy Minions for catching Baku Bakus
Go to backfloor of Wise Owl Forest Floor 11, 13, or 14. Use Xiao with her Bandit Slingshot. The only thing there are treasure chests and ground diggers. Keep attacking and kill them all. Almost all of them give you a Minion, which are good for catching Baku Bakus worth about 30 to 60 points apiece. You can exit the backfloor and return without leaving the dungeon. They will be there again. Repeat until you have a group of them. Go to the waterfall and peanut pond to catch fish. They will usually bite very quickly. Repeatedly pause and resume the game to see when they bite, then press [X] when the game is resumed.
Back areas
When you first complete a dungeon, play through it a second time and try and get "Special Keys". These keys provide access to "back areas" which have more difficult monsters in them, but the have really good items. Since you have played through the dungeon once, the difficult monsters will be easier to defeat. This is the easiest way to get gems. The key changes in each town/zone.
Mystery Circles
Do not be discouraged when stepping on these circles. Stepping on them will sometimes double your money or instantly fill up your Abs. meter.
Stepping into one of the blue mystery circles in a dungeon will cause one of the following things to happen:
Building the Moon Factory
Look on page 34 in the instruction manual for a picture of how your completed Mecha should look like. Building it otherwise will not let you advance through the story.
Snake duel
To successfully win the duel at Wise Owl Forest, equip the Serpent Sword. Note: You will acquire the sword after connecting the Waterfall to the Tree Fairy via River. You will also get the Battle Axe for Goro.
Sun Giant
Put his feet at the platform so that his head is not facing towards the platform
Duels
There are only six places where you can duel.
Cure status ailments without their specific items
All status ailments have specific cures; Poison cured by Antidote Drink, Goo by Soap, Curse by Holy Water, and Freeze by Throbbing Cherry. All of these can be cured by a Mighty Heal. However, there is another way. A bug in the game will allow status ailments to be removed from a character, if that character is affected by Stamina. This is a timed status which automatically disappears after a few seconds and, when it goes, takes any other ailments with it.
Healing with Fruits Of Eden or Gourds
When you obtain any Fruits Of Eden or Gourds, use them like healing items. Although you will not get your +10 life or 1 extra thirst point immediately, if used as healing items they heal and revive thirst completely.
Fishing
Fishing can be very confusing The way to do it is this, select a bait, then cast. Get ready when a fish starts nibbling. When the controller vibrates very hard, press [X] as fast as you can. If you are lucky, Toan will bring in a fish. If you cannot get it for a while, do not be discouraged as it is very difficult. If a fish is nibbling and the hook and bait disappears, press [X] as fast as possible.
Fishing can be very easy or very difficult. The way to fish properly is cast your line directly in front of the fish and wait until it nibbles. Get ready, and hold [X] when the floater goes under the water. He will automatically pull it up. If you misjudge when the floater goes underwater you will most likely lose your bait. Just wait it out and be sure when you are going to try to pull it in.
When fishing, what until the bobber goes under. The controller will vibrate roughly. Quickly press [X] as soon as it does. If you want to practice, fish in Queens.
Some little fish like those in the Muska Ruska and Matataki village (or somewhere similar) are worth more fish points.
Baits
Once you have gotten the hang of fishing, try your luck at the really rare fish, such as at the Muska Lacka Oasis at dusk. You can catch a Baron Garayan 127cm which is worth +655FP. They seem to like Potato Cakes, but it does not enable any new weapons on the FP exchange screen.
Though they are very rare, Baron Garayan can be easily identified since they are huge, usually bigger than Toan, but are sometimes disguised as normal-sized big fish. Netting a 246cm Baron easily gets you 800+ FP. Finding one is usually a problem, since when you find a big fish and toss in a Potato Cake, chances are you will catch a Den or Neggie. To avoid this, when you find a large sized shadow of a fish, toss in a Gooey Peach, Throbbing Cherry, or Bomb Nuts. See if they get interested in the bait. If they are, reel in the bait, and move on to the next big fish. Baron Garayans are only interested in Potato Cakes.
Marayan Garayan fish
There is a fish called Marayan Garayan which is difficult to catch. It can be caught at the waterfall in Matataki Village at night. You must use a Poison Apple. It can also be caught in the oasis in Muska Racka at dusk. If it does not appear, keep quitting and tray again. It brings in about 200 points each time.
Use the following trick to get around the Trap Treasure Boxes where you have to guess the trap to open it or use one of those Treasure Box Keys. Go to Matataki Village and fish at the waterfall at night. Use a Poison Apple as your bait to catch a Marayan Garayan fish. This fish look strange, but is worth many fishing points. After you catch this fish, the next time you encounter a Trap Treasure Box, the screen will say, "Maraya Garayan shows the path" and will highlight the correct trap every time. This is also helpful because you can now sell all those Treasure Box Keys for extra money.
If you are a good fisher, you can catch Baron Garayan. However, you should catch Marayan Garayan. Save up the points and buy the Marayan Eins. Then, make all of its stats go up by Status Breaking a weapon to it. Then, you must catch a lot more Marayan. When you have enough, you can build up. Repeat this process until you get Arise Marayan. This sword can be very strong. The maximum attack for Arise Marayan is 250. If you do not want to fight to build up your weapon, fish instead. Marayan Garayan only like Poison Apples. When the bobber goes under, immediately pull in the fish. Always carry a Gooey Peach and a Potato Cake. When you see a big fish, throw in the peach. If he goes for it, pull it out. If he does not, he is either a Marayan Garayan or Baron Garayan. Baron's only like Potato Cakes, which you can buy at Brooks; and Poison Apples at Lana's store in Queens. Note: It is recommended that you are at least at the Muska Raska.
Mardan Garayan sword
Catching Mardan Garayan for the first time will unlock a new sword, Mardan Eins, in the "Exchange FP" section of the fishing menu. To get it, you must have 2500 FP. However, building it up is completely different. You must catch enough Mardans for each build up. The final Mardan sword can be maximized to be a bit stronger than the 7th Heaven.
Attachment gems
To get a few rubies, diamonds, opals, and others gems, go to the Sun And Moon Temple. Get a secret path key and go to the back area on level 16. You should get at least one gem attachment, and the monsters are always Mimics.
When you enter Dark Heaven Castle, the first time you enter Gallery Of Time you can buy gems from the Fairy King for 3000 Gilda each.
Catch the Marayan Garayan and exchange the points for a gem instead of paying the Fairy King.
If you get a "Perfect" in any duel, you will be awarded a gem attachment from the Terra Fairies. To get free gems, before you do any duel, save the game. As you duel, try to push the button when the symbol is on the thinner white bar. It will flash "Cool". If you get all "Cools", a message will appear stating that the Fairies of Terra rewarded you. The following are some of the gems that can be obtained.
Assemble King's hideout prior to assembling Jack's store. Once you get Ruby, go to Jack's store. Ruby will get Jack to give you a Bigbucks Hammer and a Platinum Ring for free.
Candies
To get two Candies, you will need to have finished Claude's (fat man that likes food) house in Norune village, but not have triggered the event to his house. Go to his house in the morning, and instead of giving you Soap and Cheese, he will give you Candy. The other candy you can get is the one from Couscous' (mysterious big creature) house. When you finish his house and trigger the event, he will ask if you want Candy. You will now have two Candies. Note: This way you can get the Candy from Claude and still get the Turtle Shell (Goro's weapon) without risking the process of getting the Sun Gem.
Chronicle Sword
This is the second best sword in the game. You can get it early when you get to Matatiki village. Build the Wise Owl shop then save 2500 gilda. Then, buy the Wise Owl Sword build it up to the Lambs Sword, then the Altima Sword, then the Chronicle Sword.
Use the Chronicle sword to get the better Chronicle sword
Fighting the Black Penadragon will be easy if you have everything maxed on the Chronicle sword. When you defeat him, you will be awarded the Chronicle Sword 2. This new sword is better then the first and is the best in the game.
Clay Doll
If you have a Foundation Vase from Terra, go to Jibubu's house in Muska Racka and give it to him. He will then give you a Clay Doll.
Coliseum Tickets
Go to the Moon Factory and walk under the Sun Giant. A short intermission sequence will start.
Dran's Feather
Once Dran's Feather disappears, it is still possible for you to get boosts of energy. Immediately after Dran's Feather has disappeared, hold "Sqaure" and about every few seconds you will get a small boost of energy. Note: This can only be done in the dungeon in which the feather disappeared. This will not work if you leave or enter a new dungeon.
Lamb's Sword
Buy the Wise Owl Sword and build up to the Lamb's Sword. It gets more powerful if its WHP are low, but gets normal when repaired.
Mage Slayer
Buy any type of bomb (bombs, bomb nuts) and go to the Sun And Moon Temple. When you find a bomb man, throw one of the bombs at it. You should see a bag after its destruction. Inside should be a Mage Slayer.
Mimic Breaker
Throw a Bomb Nut at a Mimic to receive a Mimic Breaker.
Steve The Slingshot
Steve the Talking Slingshot, can usually be found in about any dungeon, at any level. However, he can be found most often in Wise Owl Forest, in the earlier territories. Try running through all of Wise Owl Forest repeatedly, opening every weapons (large) chest found. This may take a while, but it is worth it. Steve talks whenever you are locked on to an enemy, and may tell you its weaknesses, how cool he is, or just make funny comments about the enemy. This also works with Bosses.
Sun Gem
When you finish Couscous' House, take the candy that he offers you. Once you finish Kye and Momo's House, give them the candy. They will give you an Ointment Leaf for medicine. When you finish Basker's House, give the Leaf to him. He will give you some Foundation (strange powder). Give it to the Chief. The Chief will give you a Clay Doll. Give the Clay Doll to someone in Yellow Drops. They will give you the Sun Gem, which has +10 Attack, +10 All Elements, +3 All Anti-Creature Stats. Note: You can only get one of them.
To get the Sun Gem, get candy from either Claude or Couscous. Give it to the man who has a raccoon mask in Matataki Village. He will give you an Ointment leaf. Give this to Basker in Queens. He will give you Foundation. Give the Foundation to Jibubu in Muska Lacka. He will give you a Clay doll. Give this to the moon person who collects things. He will give you the legendary Sun Gem. It is a powerful attachment.
Super Serpent Sword
Upgrade your initial Dagger to Dagger +11. Create a SynthSphere for it, and attach it to the Serpent Sword. You get the Serpent Sword after connecting water to Treant by River. Upgrade the Serpent Sword to Serpent Sword +4. You should get a Super Serpent Sword. Note: The sword does not actually change its name.
Sword Of Zeus
The Sun Sword is the best weapon to use to get the Sword Of Zeus. You only have to evolve it twice (Sun Sword to Big Bang to Sword Of Zeus). You acquire the Sun Sword when you complete Toto's house in Muska Racka.
Synthsphere
Build up the weapons that have a special skill (for example, The Scorpion and its Poison skill) until they can be turned in to a Synthsphere. You can then give that weapon's special skill to any other weapon you want. For example, you can have a 7th Heaven sword with the Thirst skill, Poison skill, and Bandit skill.
Use the following trick to get unlimited Synthspheres. Status break the Dagger and put it on another weapon, such as a Bandit Slingshot. Then, upgrade the Bandit Slingshot and there will be another dagger. Because the Dagger is a default weapon, it cannot break or disappear. You can do this with any other character's default weapon. Note This trick usually is better at the start of the game because default weapons do not give very good stats, especially when they are status broken.
Play as Toan and select a good weapon (preferably 7th Heaven or Chronicle 2). Go to a dungeon where it takes only one hit to kill monsters. This works well in the Divine Beast Cave or Wise Owl Forest. You must also have a weaker weapon, such as the Baselard or Gladius. Kill the Monster with the good weapon and quickly press [Triangle] and switch to the weaker weapon. Resume the game and the weaker weapon will get the ABS instead of the Higher weapon. This trick can also be used with other players.
Tram Oil
You can find Tram Oil on the first level of the Divine Beast Cave. It is in a chest and only appears up after repeating the level many times.
Toan's Ultimate Blades
Use the Build-Up command instead of Status Break to get the best weapons in the game. Status Breaking will only take away 40% of your weapon's power. Use the Status Break only when getting special abilities for your main weapon.
Note: Have the shipwreck level unlocked and have a good weapon. This trick actually works for any dungeon's back floor, but it is easiest with the shipwreck level as you can just buy the Flapping Fish for the "Master". When you get the Flapping Fish (make sure it is next to some ice), press [Triangle], and if possible go to the button that reads "Go To Other Area". Go to shipwreck. Go to floor 1 and do not bother with the enemies, as your ice will probably melt before you get to the "Master". Note: The Master is the purple question mark. Once you go to the back floor, have fun with your treasure. Do not get discouraged if you do not get any gems because it is not guaranteed that you will. However, if you are lucky you can get two or more gems. Once you defeat all the enemies in the back level, go to the button that reads "Leave Dungeon" and press Queens. Once you are in Queens, go to Ruty's Washery (or something similar) and buy another Flapping Fish, and if needed, more ice. Again, this works with the back floor of any dungeon, but is best with the first floor because the enemies are weaker, and the chances of finding a gem seem to be increased.
Weapons upgrade
If you encounter a duplicate weapon, rather than selling it, you can actually status break your original weapon to it. This eases the build-up process. This is very useful if you are building up weapons with a low WHP and Endurance, such as the Bone Rapier, Bone Slingshot, etc.
Upgrade your dagger eleven times then status break it. Put it on to a Shamshir and upgrade that five times. Put that on a Macho's sword. Put that on a Crysknife. Put that on a 7th Heaven. If done correctly, the 7th Heaven should have 99 Attack, 99 Speed, etc.
Building up weapons faster
When trying to build up weapons, upgrade your default weapon to +5. Use Endurance +1, +2, etc. When at +5, Status Break it and put it on the weapon you want to build up. 60% or the default weapon's stats will be on the more powerful weapon. Also, use gem attachments (Ruby, Emerald, Opal, etc.) whenever you can. You can find them in back floors of dungeons and the Fairy King in Dark Heaven Castle (for 3000 gilda each).
Get everything for Gaffer's Buggy (Norune), then go to your attachment bag. Go all the way down in the bag and leave two empty slots. Pretend that you are going to get the ice attribute, instead press [X] + [Right] quickly. There should be something that looks like a broken dagger. This maximizes all stats. Get about four or of them just in case, for a ally.
Best weapons
The following are the best weapons that you can acquire for your characters.
Note: Charge attacks work only in dungeons. To release one, hold [X] when you have your equipped weapon out.
After completing a town 100%, search everywhere one final time in every house, pond, and even edges of the map. There are a lot of items in the corners of Queens. Most of the time you will find "favorite foods" specific to each character, which boosts their defense.
The following is a list of Gems (weapon attachments that take one space but do multiple things) and what each does.
After you "complete" a level in a dungeon you will see red boxes in different places in a town. These red boxes contain items that are hard to buy or find (for example, Fruit of Eden). The red boxes are sometimes on the walls of the village, or around each house. They also can be found in houses. When looking in houses, search every corner and place where the camera does not view. Note: The red boxes only show up on the village or town you are trying to restore from the Evil Genie. Additionally, do not repeat the same level in a dungeon thinking that you will get red boxes. They will appear only after you complete levels you have done earlier.
Periodically check along the dock (Queens) for red treasure boxes scattered about. The same goes for the Sun And Moon Temple. Upon leaving the dungeon, (before proceeding through the "tusk" entrance way to Muska Lacka) do an about-face. Turn around and check around the entrance of the temple for any red boxes.
Get across a town faster
If you want to get to a place in walking mode faster, enter edit mode. Move the pointer to your destination and exit edit mode.
Atla locations
Every time you go in and out of one dungeon, floor, or territory the Atla will be in different places.
Glitch: Names
In the intermission scene after defeating the Ice Princess you get called Toan, even if you changed your name.
Glitch: Cat name
When choosing the name of the cat, if you click on "Description" it reads "Cat Girl" and not cat (when she is only a cat).
Glitch: Mispronunciation
When you look on your world map, the city of the sun and moon temple is pronounced "Muska Lacka". However, when you enter the city it is spelled "Muska Racka".
Glitch: Misspelling
In the Gallery Of Time. you can get crowns out of the Atlamillia. Upon getting a crown and section of history that requires a crown, look at the slot for the crown. It reads "Crow's slot".
The location "Muska Lacka" appears on the map as "Muska Rocka".
In Maska Lacka, "Jibubu's House" is misspelled as "Jibubu's Hose".
In the instruction manual, at the section on the Georama Menus and how they work, the screenshot will read "Diorama Parts" instead of "Georama Parts".
Glitch: Wrong explanation
When you are in the Wise Owl Forest, note that some doors need to be opened by Goro, by smashing it. If you press [X] when the "!" is over your head (while playing as Goro), the game will say that the stump needs to be smashed . When you are on the shipwreck and find a door that has a red button next to it, press [X] when "!" is over your head. The game will still state that you need to smash a stump, even though what you need to smash is a red button.
Glitch: Reappearing Atlamillia
After defeating the Dark Genie for the final time, you will save Sophia by breaking your Atlamillia. It will never be show on your wrist again, unless you go fishing.
Glitch: Wrong shadow
When you fight in the dungeon, you will see a shadow of yourself. However it will sometimes glitch be something else.
Glitch: Disappearing Rando
Once you get to Queens, Rando shows you how to get to the shipwreck. If you go back into his store, you will notice that he is standing in front of the counter in the front room. Enter the back room (where the boat is located). Press [R2] to enter first-person view. Look through the window between the two rooms, and Rando is no longer there.
Glitch: Disappearing Toan
In the Shipwreck area, the General Fish (the fish that takes Toan to the back floors) puts Toan in his mouth for transportation. However, while he is taking you to the back floor, he has his mouth open and you can see that Toan is not there.
Glitch: Disappearing chest
When you open a big chest with your sword and get it again, it will not be there.
Glitch: Vanishing Fairy Ring
After you get Goro, but before Ruby, you can see her Fairy Ring in the Fishing Points exchange screen. Go to any pond sign, and select "Exchange FP". Use [R1] or [R2] to scroll down, and the Fairy Ring is there, in front of your face. Note: You cannot select or buy the ring, as you cannot move down to it. Pressing [Left] or [Right] makes the ring vanish.
Glitch: Stuck fishing pole
Begin fishing in any pond. When you reel your line in, stand in front of the fishing sign. Once Toan reels the line in, the bobber will get suck to the sign.
Glitch: Invisible fishing pole
Go fishing and look at Toan's shadow. His pole will be gone, and it will appear that he is holding air.
Glitch: Fishing delay
Go to any pond to fish. Throw the line on the ground and watch Toan's hands when he reels the line in. Quickly look down at the shadow of his hands to notice that they are delayed by one or two seconds.
Glitch: Dirt fishing
Go to the pond in Norune Village and face the fishing sign. Walk to the left until you cannot move any further (to the corner of the dirt outline). Position Toan facing the corner, then throw your line out. It should go into the ground and make a splash as if you were fishing in the pond. Depending on where you have your pond at, it may not work. Try it a few times in each corner of your pond. For example, if facing the dungeon, the pond is positioned in the southwest corner of the village (near the entrance to Matataki Village), with the pond's sign on the left.
Glitch: Unlimited FP with enough bait
When you catch a good fish, you should be able to catch it again because Toan throws it back into the pond with a splash.
Glitch: Get stuck in bike
Reach Queens and complete a part of the mayor's place where you put the bikes in. Go straight into the bikes from the map when pressing [Select], close to the building where you think the bike is standing. Upon doing this, you will appear to be stuck with no way out. The only way to exit is through edit mode.
Glitch: Stuck pipe
When you go to the shipwreck, get a flapping fish and go to the back. When the general opens his mouth, his pipe will not fall out. It will stay on his bottom lip.
Glitch: Changing stats
Every time you roam around in the dungeon and find "Atla's", touch to gain a road, trees, people, etc. However, look quickly at your HP and WHP when you touch them -- they will change to different numbers then change back.
Glitch: Leave dungeon with less WHP in bar
Kill all monsters in any dungeon. Make your WHP full. Then leave from the menu. Look at the bar. It will go down, but when you return it will be the same.
Glitch: Crawl under windmill
Go to Norune village and enter edit mode. Put the pointer directly on the edge of Dran's windmill, on the side with the blades. Make sure that the yellow arrow at the bottom of the screen is there, and not a red X (or you cannot enter walking mode). You may need to try a few times before it eventually works.
Glitch: False mask
When you show the Bone Pendent to Goro, his father will appear with a White Tiger mask, even though the greatest monster he killed was the Death Monster.
Glitch: Lana's Store's item
When you see the description of Lana's Store in Queens, it says that she sells sweet and fresh fruit. However, she also sells Poisonous Apples.
Glitch: Norune names
Go to Laura's house in Norune Village. Talk to Laura and she will tell you about her daughter Gina. When you find Laura's daughter, you will find that the name above her head reads "Xena" instead of "Gina".
Go to Pike's house in Norune Village. If he is there, his name will be "Dike" instead of "Pike".
Glitch: Wrong instructions
The forest fairy tells you to hold the "O" button to do a charge attack, but it is really the "X" button.
Glitch: Reincarnation
When you are defeating Masterutan, buy a large number of bombs. When he is about to die, if your health is down very low and timed correctly, give him one last blow. You will be killed with him, but when the intermission sequence begins you will be alive again.
Glitch: Early Demon Shft
You may be able to access the Demon Shaft before you complete the game. You can get it when you go to the Gallery Of Time.
Glitch: Early Boss reference
When in Yellow Drops, go to Ledan's item shop. Select the "Can I Shop Here" option, then exit the item list. Ledan will say "Please take care of the Boss", when you do not have the Boss yet.
Glitch: Sword damage
When in a dungeon with Toan, equip the Lamb's sword. Put an Auto Repair in your active items. Let the Auto Repair fix the sword. The sword will appear to remain in Wolf mode, but will do normal damage. Bringing up the menu will change it back to Lamb.
Glitch: Stuck in prison
Go to Muska Racka, and go to where the prison is located. Press [Select] and go to the edge of the prison. Press [Select]. You should be in the prison. This should take awhile. Once you are in there, you will not be able to move.
To defeat Captain's Chariot ("cannon" in shipwreck), when they shoot at you, try to dodge it. Select Goro if he is very strong, otherwise play as Toan. Target it and keep looking at it. Walk towards it and try to bring it to the wall (until you cannot go further). During this entire time he will not shoot you. When he is at the wall, keep hitting him until he is defeated.
Defeating Black Pendragon
When fighting the Black Pendragon at the end of the Demon Shaft, only attack with one hit then retreat. If you attempt a combo he will counter and cause your sword, no matter how powerful, to instantly break. Save immediately before you attempt to battle him, to avoid losing any precious weapons such as a Chronicle Sword.
Note: When you defeat Black Pendragon, a light will shoot down on him. This is when you find the Chronicle 2 sword.
Defeating Dark Genie
Note: It is recommended that you max out your Ultimate Weapons' stats before confronting this Boss. The Dark Genie's first form has a variety of attacks. One of them is an energy beam that can instantly kill a character. To dodge this attack, you need to constantly be on the move. Its other attacks are fairly easy to dodge. Start out with Toan and try to dodge the hand. Look and see what color of the eye on the hand is. For example, if the color is yellow, you would use Thunder as the element for your weapon. Go to your weapons menu and make the needed adjustments. You will need to do so several times. After enough damage has been done, the Dark Genie will change its attack pattern. It will no longer use the hand attack. Instead, it will stand up and blast energy beams. Switch to Xiao and use her sling shot. Lock on to Genie's head and fire. Be sure to keep on moving around the platform to dodge its attack. The Dark Genie's second form is much bigger but its attacks are almost the same. The target now is the bright orb that sticks of his mouth. Use Toan and apporach it and attack. Back away as he attacks, then repeat. Watch out for the two monsters that Genie calls out, however it is not required to kill them.
Stock up on Revival, Stand-In and Repair powders. It makes the battle easier if you find some Stamina Potions. Save the game, then go to the Dark Genie's lair. There are three important sounds you must listen to in order to figure out what attack the Dark Genie is doing. One is a "Hah" sound, which indicates he is using his wings to make an unblockable wind that causes major damage. Switch to the player with the highest defense. The second sound is a "Yar", which indicates his hand attack. Use the strongest weapon and set its attribute to "None". This causes a lot of damage, especially if you drink a Stamina Potion. The hands are easy to dodge; just run back and forth along the back wall. After you defeat his hands the third sound will happen. It sounds like "Her". When you hear this, run away from where he is aiming his instant killing energy beam and do a charge up Holy Shot with Ruby. Stamina potions help a lot here. Make sure to run around near the Dark Genie's pit this time. After you defeat him, you will meet his second form. This is extremely easy . It is easier if you have a Drans Feather or two. He has two helpers that do not require that much attention. He will shoot a instant killing energy beam which can be hard to dodge if you let his helpers get in your way. After he rests his head, move in for the kill. Use a strong sword with the Holy attribute. Run in and slash once and retreat, because he does an energy pound that chases you. Run away then quickly run back in and slash again. Repeat the tactic to defeat him quicker. If his helpers get in your way, run all the way to the back and lead them there. Then, get ready to press the attack on the Dark Genie again until he dies.
Get the Chronicle Sword for Toan. Power it up until it is very strong. After destroying Dark Genie's hands, Status Break Chronicle Sword to Ruby's strongest weapon. You will destroy his head very quickly. Then, kill his last form with Ruby. Save the game and turn off the PlayStation2. When you resume the game, you will have Chronicle Sword again.
Defeating Dran
To defeat the first boss, Dran, run around the area and shoot him with Xiao's slingshot. As soon as you hit him, run up and attack him with your sword. Repeat this until he dies. Depending on the strength of your sword, this could take a long time.
Change to Xiao, then run around the edge (the part that does not crack) and shoot him. Then, switch to Toan and hit him with your sword. You may want to spend some time building up Toan's sword before you face Dran.
Use Toan to run around the arena as Dran makes the holes. When there are a lot of holes, switch to Xiao and lock onto Dran. Wait for him to fly over one of the holes. When he gets over one, shoot him with the sling shot. This will cause him to fall down a hole and take a lot of damage without you having to risk your health by attacking him.
Go into the Divine Beast Cave and get around 2500 Gilda. Next, go back up to the Odd Gaffer's Buggy and buy twenty or thirty bombs.Go back down to Dran and have Xiao shoot his underbelly to get him to land. If you shoot him in the face, he lands and attacks with a type of headbutt. Once Dran is on the ground, have your character throw bombs at him repeatedly (use the "Ready Items" at the top of the screen) until he flies back up. Repeat this until he is defeated.
One of the easiest ways to defeat Dran without getting hurt is to use Xiao the entire time. Get over three Repair Powders for her slingshot before you go into the Divine Beast Cave. A Steel Slingshot +3 also helps, but is not required. When the fight begins, switch from Toan to Xiao. Put the target lock on Dran and do not take it off. This is crucial to not get hit. Target lock Dran and hit him in the face with the slingshot. He will charge you, but you will have plenty of time to get out of the way. By the time he lands your slingshot should be ready to go again, and you will hit Dran in the face (since you are target locked on him and know exactly where he is). Repeat this until he dies/snaps out of his trance.
Buy about twenty bombs. When in the Battlefield use Xaio and shoot Dran to get him on the ground. Then, equip the bombs and throw them at him. It works very fast.
Defeating Ice Queen Saia
Buy about fifteen Fire Gems from Joker's Store in Queens. If you need money, sell fishing bait. When the battle starts, use a Drans Feather to get very close to her while trying to avoid her shots. When you are close enough to her, get a lock and just keep tossing the gems at her. It is best if you can keep her trapped in a corner.
At the start of the battle, run back towards the door and switch to Xiao (easier to control) and get behind either of the pillars that are closest to the door. Lock on to the Ice Queen and get behind the pillar so that you cannot see her. The Ice Queen's Icy Blasts cannot hit you as long as you are behind one of those pillars. Take one or two steps out from behind the pillar after you see a bluish cloud, and attack with Xiao. Then, dodge back to your hiding place. If it says "No Effect" then switch to Ruby (make sure Ruby's weapon Attribute is on Fire) and repeat the same thing you did with Xiao. Then, switch back to Xiao, you can attack about five times before it says "No Effect". Once again, switch to Ruby and attack once. Keep repeating this attack pattern and you will defeat the Queen while remaining completely uninjured. If you get frozen, switch characters quickly -- the frozen character will sometimes break free. If a fireball shoots down, switch characters and run -- the fire ball will miss.
When the battle begins, use a Dran's Feather and get very close to her. Attack with a powerful sword and retreat. If your sword is strong enough, it will immediately break La Saia's shield. Next, attack with Ruby until she raises the shield then attack with Toan again. Keeping this attack pattern will defeat the Queen very quickly. Note: Make sure you take Cheeses and Throbbing Cherries, and set your weapon's attribute on Fire.
This Boss has a large amount of health, so use Goro if possible because he has a very high attack. It also helps if he has the Holy Judgment Hammer. Also have a lot of fire gems (at least 20 or 30). Start by attacking with Goro or a character with a high attack and break her ice shield. Then, attack her with Ruby;s Fire attribute attack. After you do this, her ice shield will reappear normally after doing a move that does a fair amount of damage in a big circle. It is easy to avoid, but sometimes it is faster to just take the damage. Repeat this using fire gems when you can. After doing this about fifteen or more times (depending on your attack) she will be defeated. Also have a lot of Cheese, Rival Powder, Repair Powder, and Stand In Powder for the battle.
Get about 2000 Gilda and buy ten Fire Gems. Attack her shield, then put the Fire Gems in the active item slot and attack her. It is possible to killer her with one powered-up fireball.
When the battle starts, run to the topmost pillar and switch to Xiao. Then, lock on to her and fire seven shots. Watch out for her ice blasts. When her shield is down switch to Ruby and use a charged up flame blaster fire attack. It will require twelve to fifteen hits to bring down the queen. If this does not happen, rush up and use Toan to break her shield, then use Ruby.
Hit her with about fifteen Fire Gems and she will eventually die.
When the battle starts, use Goro and get close to La Sia and use his Magic Hammer. Set the attribute to Fire (because that is the only thing that will work) then go up and whack her shield at close range. It may do about 200 to 300 damage. Next, switch to Ruby and use her ring with the attribute of Fire and use a charge attack. However, make sure to dodge the ice bullets she fires and the tornadoes that she creates. Also make sure you have a lot of Revival Powder, about two to three Inferno Gems, and a lot of Repair Powder.
Defeating Masterutan
Use Goro for the entire time. Select Goro's Battle Ax, keep attacking the big ape, and trap him against the edge of the battlefield. He will eventually die.
Use Toan and your strongest sword. You can also try this with the Wise Owl Sword with damage of 55, which is the maximum. Run towards him -- do not hang back and let him shoot the seeds at you. Get him to swing at you and evade the blow. When he becomes dizzy, run in, charge one blink (so Toan will do his jumping slash) and attack. His weak spot is his head, although it is not targeted when pressing [Circle]. He has around 500HP.
When fighting Masterutan, he will sometimes bounce away from you and eat some fruit. After he eats this, he will turn and spit seeds at you. Instead of trying to avoid them by running, hold [R1] to block his attack. Your character will raise their weapon and block all the shots.
Before you fight him, make sure you have plenty of Repair Powders. When you first go in, use Toan to block the seeds that Masterutan will spit at you. Get close to him and switch to Xiao. Target Masterutan and keep him in target lock. Hit him about three or four times with your slingshot and move out of the way. Keep doing this and he will eventually die/snap out of his trance. You may also choose to move Xiao while hitting him with the slingshot, but this seems to result in a lot of "no effect" hits.
Keep using Toan's special attack. If you do this about six times, he will die. Note: Try to get a Wise Owl Sword +5 attachment and equip it to the Serpent sword to get about a 65 attack.
Defeating Minotaur
Use either Toan or Osmond. As the Minotaur runs around the arena, barrels will start to fall. The Minotaur will pick up a barrel and start drinking. Run towards him and attack, then retreat. Repeat this process and avoid his charge attacks for an easy victory. Note: The barrels count as Stamina Drinks to the Minotaur, so do not let him finish drinking, or one attack will probably kill you.
Switch to Osmond and when the Minotaur picks up a wine barrel and drinks it, get close to him, switch to Toan, and attack. Keep doing this until he is dead.
As soon as the battle starts, switch to your strongest character. When the Minotaur begins to grab a barrel and drink, get as close as you can and attack. Only do this once or he will knock you back. Repeat this until he is dead.
Take out Ungaga and when the Minotaur chases you, lock on but back off. Lead him into a barrel, and before he finishes drinking it, attack him. Back off and lead him into another barrel. Repeat this tactic until he dies. Stock up on Repair Powders and swing away.
Use Goro for this when he has the Last Judgment hammer. Dodge the Minotaur until he goes to drink from one of the barrels. Then, smash his toes. He will stop drinking and it does a lot of damage to him.
Defeating the Sun Moon Temple Boss
First, use Ungaga to clear the dark wind around him, then switch to Toan and hit with a charge attack. Repeat for about fifteen to twenty times. This Boss is extremely easy.
Defeating Rockonoff
When you fight a Rockonoff in the first dungeon, use Xiao and any slingshot. Keep your distance from it with Dran's Feather. When you get far enough, press [R2] to go into first person view and start shooting. It will not move if you position yourself correctly.
Extra damage as Ruby
When Ruby is your chosen character, to get the same damage as she would with a charge hold [Down]. Release it before she glows. She should do more damage and take only 1 instead of 2 WHP.
Invincibility
Successfully complete every level up to the Gallery Of Time then return to any either of the first two levels. No damage will be done to you when someone attacks. You will loose life only when you go to back levels and when you get poisoned.
Boss clues
When fighting a Boss, use Xiao with Steve. Steve will talk and give hints on how to defeat the Bosses.
Skipping duels
Before you enter the duel, change to any character except Toan. Note: You still will have to duel to advance in the game.
Easy money
You can sell fishing bait and useless items such as Bombs, Fire Gems, Ice Gems, etc. However, fishing bait sells for more money.
After completing the Sunken Ship and getting all City Pieces, go to the Fish Shop. Buy the Flapping Fish and an Ice Cube. Use the map and go to Sunken Ship level 1. Run around until you find the entrance to the back floors. Use the Flapping Fish when you find the entrance. A big fish will appear. Get in the fish -- press [X] when next to him, and choose the option to get in. Once you get to the back floors, all or almost all treasures will be gems. You can either use them for attachments or sell them. This can repeated as many times as needed.
When you die in the dungeon without stand in powder, you have to pay half of your money. To prevent this, just use your money to buy gold bullion. They cost 1,000 and you can sell them for 1,000.
If you have over 10,000 in gilda or bullion, step in a vortex and you get will get "increased money". Your gilda will increase by 10,000.
Go to the first floor of the Divine Beast Cave and kill some monsters. Use Xiao with her Bandit Slingshot. Sometimes, you will get a Crysknife, or a similar weapon. Get money by killing monsters and selling fishing bait and weapons.
Go to Muska Racka pond in Muska Rucka village. Wait until dawn and begin fishing. Use the poisonous apple as bait. Doing so will allow you to catch a Mardan Garayan most of the time. These fish easily give 200 to 500 FP. Once you catch one, choose the "Exchange FP" option. Buy a Mighty Healing, which costs 15 FP. Next, sell a Mighty Healing to any shop and get 150 gilda. Stock up on poisonous apples at Lana's Shop in Queens. Likewise, if you catch a Mardan Garayan and get 300 FP, you can buy 20 Mighty Healing, which will give you up to 3000 gilda once you sell them. Use only poisonous apples because only Mardan Garayans go for them. You can also fish at the waterfall in Matataki Villiage at night.
To get extra money in Norune, buy ten to fifteen bombs and go into a level in the Divine Beast Cave with a lot of stone monsters or dragons (nine to fourteen). Use the bomb to blow up the dragons or stone monsters (Statues, Rocknoffs, etc.). You should get a Stone Breaker or Dinoslayer. Sell those to Odd Gaffer for double the amount the you bought the bombs for.
If you run out of money, sell all the amulets you get. Sell all the fishing bait and all attachments except for gems. Sell Wind Gems, Fire Gems, etc. Also sell useless weapons, unless you want to status break them.
You need Goro and his Big Bucks Hammer to do this trick. Find an enemy that steals your money. When you defeat it, the game gives double or triple your money back because the hammer gives double Gilda.
Easy experience
Once you get to or past the Sunken Ship, go to the Fish Shop. buy the Flapping Fish and an Ice Cube. Go to the Sunken Ship level 14 find the "?" mark on the map. Use the Flapping Fish to get to the back area of level 14. There are 8 monsters each that give 24 EXP -- A total of 192 EXP each time you enter the level. You do not have to leave the dungeon once you have defeated all the monsters. Just go back to level 14 and return to the level 14 back area and they will appear again. If you have a new weapon that you want to build up, switch to another character that is more powerful. Get the monster's HP low, then switch to that new weapon and kill with one hit. Your new weapon will get the EXP.
Easy battles
Find a shop that has bombs (for example, the first shop in Norune Village). Ask the person that is running the shop if you can shop there. Trade in all fish bait and sword gems (Garnet, Sea, Pearl, Ruby, Diamond). Buy as many bombs, water, and bread as possible. Go to any dungeon and put nine bombs in one pouch. When you see a monster, lock on and throw it. Most monsters take one bomb, but the big Mimic takes two or three. Repeat this to all monsters in all floors of the dungeons and it will be a lot easier, especially when you can only use a certain character on some floors.
Easy Abs
For a good amount of Abs, find a group of Sun Dews and go into the back area of the Wise Owl Forest: Level 10. The Werewolves there give 24 Abs for each kill.
When fighting the Werewolves to build up your weapons, equip a strong weapon that can kill the Werewolves in two or three hits and does not get damaged in the process. As you score the last hit that kills the Werewolf, quickly press [Triangle]. Equip the weak weapon you are trying to build up and exit out of the menus. The werewolf should turn gray, drop to the ground, and disappear. The weaker weapon you equipped will get the 24 Abs without having to land a blow or take any damage. Switch back to your powerful weapon and repeat.
The best way to upgrade a weapon is in the back floor of DemonShaft on 21. They result in 40 Abs for each kill. This is very useful when upgrading Toan.
Get a very strong sword (for example, Chronicle, Seventh Heaven, etc.). Then, kill an enemy and while it is fading, change to a weak sword. It will gain the Abs instead of the strong sword.
To quickly power up lower level weapons, slay an enemy with a different arm. Before the enemy body vanishes, switch to the weapon you wish to enhance. the experience will be issued to the weapon that is currently equipped. The harder the foe, the more experience you will receive.
Switch to a strong character and attack an enemy, but do not kill it. When the enemy's health is very low, switch to a weaker character and kill it. The weaker character will get the Abs instead of the stronger character. Note: You may want to do this in the Moon Sea, Gallery of Time, or the Demon Shaft.
When you enter any back floor, kill all monsters then, leave using the secret entrance (the ? on the map). Then, kill all back floor monsters again. Every time you leave and return, new monsters will appear.
Go to the Wise Owl Forest and get a Sun Dew. Then, go to level 10. Once you have the Sun Dew. go in the back room, collect the gems, and kill the monsters. Exit the back room and re-enter it again. The monsters will be there again, but the gems will not.
Keep Abs
Decrease Abs Limited Zones can get very annoying, especially when your weapon is near upgrade. However, there is a way to avoid this. When you kill an enemy, immediately before his body disappears and you lose the Abs, switch to an ally. Neither the person who killed the monster, nor the ally, will lose any Abs.
On the floors that reduce Abs while fighting, there is a way to avoid this. Abs are only reduced after the monster has been killed. Immediately after the monsters health reaches zero, press [Select] and change to a different character. Neither characters will lose Abs.
Easy attachments
Go to Queens, buy a fish, then go to the shipwreck. Access the back floors and open the treasure chests to get useful gems and attachments very easily. Make sure you buy an Ice and put it next to the fish so that it does not go bad when you use it to get in the back floors.
Use a bomb to destroy a monster. It will give you an attachment that repels the monster's type.
If you buy bombs and throw them at the enemy in the first floor of the Divine Beast Cave you will get attachments. You can keep or sell them. This is a way to get easy money.
Free items
If you do not build Old Gaffer's Buggy, you may still get free items from the mayor and build your weapons up very high to get ready for the second village, Matataki Village. Note: This will take some time, but is worth the effort.
When you get low on health and your sword is about to break, from the Divine Beast Cave go to the mayor's house in Norune village. He will give you some items to help you. When you build the hag's house she will store items for you. Get the items from the mayor and store it in the hag's house. Keep repeating this until you are ready for Matataki village. Note: If you build Old Gaffer's Buggy then you cannot get any more items from the mayor.
More items in Old Gaffer's Buggy
In Norune Village, you can get more items in Old Gaffer's Buggy. To do this, you must build Pike's house before building Gaffer's Buggy. Then Pike will help Gaffer put up the sign, he will not break his back, and he will have a lot more items in the store. However, if you do not do this and Gaffer breaks his back, his store will only contain a few items.
Early guns
When you reach Yellow Drops and are told about the Moon Sea, you can shop at the store. You can buy Osmand's guns before you even get Osmand as an ally. You will not have to waste more time going all the way back and buying them. You can buy a "Snail" and a "Jakal".
Finding treasure chests in villages
Once you are in a village, choose Georama mode and skim through the area. You can spot treasure chests around the area quicker this way.
Big chests
When you see a big chest, walk up to it and force it open. When you guess the trap, it is the next one down from what the last chest was. If you guess wrong, look at the bottom of the screen and it will say what the trap was. Walk up to it again and when it asks you to guess, guess what it said at the bottom.
When you open a big treasure chest, guess wrong, and the trap is explosion, run away as soon as it happens and you will take no damage.
Easy Minions for catching Baku Bakus
Go to backfloor of Wise Owl Forest Floor 11, 13, or 14. Use Xiao with her Bandit Slingshot. The only thing there are treasure chests and ground diggers. Keep attacking and kill them all. Almost all of them give you a Minion, which are good for catching Baku Bakus worth about 30 to 60 points apiece. You can exit the backfloor and return without leaving the dungeon. They will be there again. Repeat until you have a group of them. Go to the waterfall and peanut pond to catch fish. They will usually bite very quickly. Repeatedly pause and resume the game to see when they bite, then press [X] when the game is resumed.
Back areas
When you first complete a dungeon, play through it a second time and try and get "Special Keys". These keys provide access to "back areas" which have more difficult monsters in them, but the have really good items. Since you have played through the dungeon once, the difficult monsters will be easier to defeat. This is the easiest way to get gems. The key changes in each town/zone.
Mystery Circles
Do not be discouraged when stepping on these circles. Stepping on them will sometimes double your money or instantly fill up your Abs. meter.
Stepping into one of the blue mystery circles in a dungeon will cause one of the following things to happen:
Increase your amount of money.Sometimes when you step on the blue mystery circles, it says "Status Of The Equipped Changed". This means that either the Attack, Speed, Endurance, MP, Attribute, or something in the anti-screen went down. This can be bad when you are close to building up something. If you get that, you now need to bring up something else.
Decrease your amount of money.
Fill your equipped weapon's Abs.
Decrease your equipped weapon's Whp to about 10.
Fill your equipped weapon's Whp.
Decrease your equipped weapon's maximum Whp.
Increase your equipped weapon's maximum Whp.
Change the stats of your equipped weapon.
Monster is pumped with energy.
You become pumped with energy.
Building the Moon Factory
Look on page 34 in the instruction manual for a picture of how your completed Mecha should look like. Building it otherwise will not let you advance through the story.
Snake duel
To successfully win the duel at Wise Owl Forest, equip the Serpent Sword. Note: You will acquire the sword after connecting the Waterfall to the Tree Fairy via River. You will also get the Battle Axe for Goro.
Sun Giant
Put his feet at the platform so that his head is not facing towards the platform
Duels
There are only six places where you can duel.
Divine Beast Cave : Floor B4 and B8Note: You have to get all the actions done correctly (says "Cool" each time). If you do that, you will get an "Excellent" rating. Doing this will net you one of the twelve gems at random.
Matatiki Village : Fight Goro
Wise Owl Forest : Territory 9 (Werewolves; have Toan as active character, then Serpent)
Sun And Moon Temple : After Defeating Boss getting onto Moon Ship
Cure status ailments without their specific items
All status ailments have specific cures; Poison cured by Antidote Drink, Goo by Soap, Curse by Holy Water, and Freeze by Throbbing Cherry. All of these can be cured by a Mighty Heal. However, there is another way. A bug in the game will allow status ailments to be removed from a character, if that character is affected by Stamina. This is a timed status which automatically disappears after a few seconds and, when it goes, takes any other ailments with it.
Healing with Fruits Of Eden or Gourds
When you obtain any Fruits Of Eden or Gourds, use them like healing items. Although you will not get your +10 life or 1 extra thirst point immediately, if used as healing items they heal and revive thirst completely.
Fishing
Fishing can be very confusing The way to do it is this, select a bait, then cast. Get ready when a fish starts nibbling. When the controller vibrates very hard, press [X] as fast as you can. If you are lucky, Toan will bring in a fish. If you cannot get it for a while, do not be discouraged as it is very difficult. If a fish is nibbling and the hook and bait disappears, press [X] as fast as possible.
Fishing can be very easy or very difficult. The way to fish properly is cast your line directly in front of the fish and wait until it nibbles. Get ready, and hold [X] when the floater goes under the water. He will automatically pull it up. If you misjudge when the floater goes underwater you will most likely lose your bait. Just wait it out and be sure when you are going to try to pull it in.
When fishing, what until the bobber goes under. The controller will vibrate roughly. Quickly press [X] as soon as it does. If you want to practice, fish in Queens.
Some little fish like those in the Muska Ruska and Matataki village (or somewhere similar) are worth more fish points.
Baits
Regular bait: Battan, Prickly, Minon, Carrot, Mimi, Evy, Petite Fish, and Potato Cakes.Baron Garayan fish
Other bait: Heart-Throb Cherry, Mellow Banana, Bomb Nut, Gooey Peach, and Poison Apples.
Once you have gotten the hang of fishing, try your luck at the really rare fish, such as at the Muska Lacka Oasis at dusk. You can catch a Baron Garayan 127cm which is worth +655FP. They seem to like Potato Cakes, but it does not enable any new weapons on the FP exchange screen.
Though they are very rare, Baron Garayan can be easily identified since they are huge, usually bigger than Toan, but are sometimes disguised as normal-sized big fish. Netting a 246cm Baron easily gets you 800+ FP. Finding one is usually a problem, since when you find a big fish and toss in a Potato Cake, chances are you will catch a Den or Neggie. To avoid this, when you find a large sized shadow of a fish, toss in a Gooey Peach, Throbbing Cherry, or Bomb Nuts. See if they get interested in the bait. If they are, reel in the bait, and move on to the next big fish. Baron Garayans are only interested in Potato Cakes.
Marayan Garayan fish
There is a fish called Marayan Garayan which is difficult to catch. It can be caught at the waterfall in Matataki Village at night. You must use a Poison Apple. It can also be caught in the oasis in Muska Racka at dusk. If it does not appear, keep quitting and tray again. It brings in about 200 points each time.
Use the following trick to get around the Trap Treasure Boxes where you have to guess the trap to open it or use one of those Treasure Box Keys. Go to Matataki Village and fish at the waterfall at night. Use a Poison Apple as your bait to catch a Marayan Garayan fish. This fish look strange, but is worth many fishing points. After you catch this fish, the next time you encounter a Trap Treasure Box, the screen will say, "Maraya Garayan shows the path" and will highlight the correct trap every time. This is also helpful because you can now sell all those Treasure Box Keys for extra money.
If you are a good fisher, you can catch Baron Garayan. However, you should catch Marayan Garayan. Save up the points and buy the Marayan Eins. Then, make all of its stats go up by Status Breaking a weapon to it. Then, you must catch a lot more Marayan. When you have enough, you can build up. Repeat this process until you get Arise Marayan. This sword can be very strong. The maximum attack for Arise Marayan is 250. If you do not want to fight to build up your weapon, fish instead. Marayan Garayan only like Poison Apples. When the bobber goes under, immediately pull in the fish. Always carry a Gooey Peach and a Potato Cake. When you see a big fish, throw in the peach. If he goes for it, pull it out. If he does not, he is either a Marayan Garayan or Baron Garayan. Baron's only like Potato Cakes, which you can buy at Brooks; and Poison Apples at Lana's store in Queens. Note: It is recommended that you are at least at the Muska Raska.
Mardan Garayan sword
Catching Mardan Garayan for the first time will unlock a new sword, Mardan Eins, in the "Exchange FP" section of the fishing menu. To get it, you must have 2500 FP. However, building it up is completely different. You must catch enough Mardans for each build up. The final Mardan sword can be maximized to be a bit stronger than the 7th Heaven.
Mardan Eins: 2500 FPCatch one Marden Garayan fish at Muska Laska at dusk or at Mataki Village waterfall at night. Trade in your fish points for the sword "Marden Eins". Catch five more Marden Garayan fish to build up to "Marden Twei", then catch fifteen more Marden Garayan fish to build up to the final form "Arise Marden". Note: Use Poisonous apples for bait.
Mardan Twei: 20 Mardans caught
Arise Mardan: 15 additional catches
Attachment gems
To get a few rubies, diamonds, opals, and others gems, go to the Sun And Moon Temple. Get a secret path key and go to the back area on level 16. You should get at least one gem attachment, and the monsters are always Mimics.
When you enter Dark Heaven Castle, the first time you enter Gallery Of Time you can buy gems from the Fairy King for 3000 Gilda each.
Catch the Marayan Garayan and exchange the points for a gem instead of paying the Fairy King.
If you get a "Perfect" in any duel, you will be awarded a gem attachment from the Terra Fairies. To get free gems, before you do any duel, save the game. As you duel, try to push the button when the symbol is on the thinner white bar. It will flash "Cool". If you get all "Cools", a message will appear stating that the Fairies of Terra rewarded you. The following are some of the gems that can be obtained.
Skeleton (Beast Cave 4): TopazFree Bigbucks Hammer and Platinum Ring in Queens
Goro (Matatiki Village): Opal
Werewolves (Owl Forest 9): Pearl
Killer Snake (Owl Forest 9): Ruby
Assemble King's hideout prior to assembling Jack's store. Once you get Ruby, go to Jack's store. Ruby will get Jack to give you a Bigbucks Hammer and a Platinum Ring for free.
Candies
To get two Candies, you will need to have finished Claude's (fat man that likes food) house in Norune village, but not have triggered the event to his house. Go to his house in the morning, and instead of giving you Soap and Cheese, he will give you Candy. The other candy you can get is the one from Couscous' (mysterious big creature) house. When you finish his house and trigger the event, he will ask if you want Candy. You will now have two Candies. Note: This way you can get the Candy from Claude and still get the Turtle Shell (Goro's weapon) without risking the process of getting the Sun Gem.
Chronicle Sword
This is the second best sword in the game. You can get it early when you get to Matatiki village. Build the Wise Owl shop then save 2500 gilda. Then, buy the Wise Owl Sword build it up to the Lambs Sword, then the Altima Sword, then the Chronicle Sword.
Use the Chronicle sword to get the better Chronicle sword
Fighting the Black Penadragon will be easy if you have everything maxed on the Chronicle sword. When you defeat him, you will be awarded the Chronicle Sword 2. This new sword is better then the first and is the best in the game.
Clay Doll
If you have a Foundation Vase from Terra, go to Jibubu's house in Muska Racka and give it to him. He will then give you a Clay Doll.
Coliseum Tickets
Go to the Moon Factory and walk under the Sun Giant. A short intermission sequence will start.
Dran's Feather
Once Dran's Feather disappears, it is still possible for you to get boosts of energy. Immediately after Dran's Feather has disappeared, hold "Sqaure" and about every few seconds you will get a small boost of energy. Note: This can only be done in the dungeon in which the feather disappeared. This will not work if you leave or enter a new dungeon.
Lamb's Sword
Buy the Wise Owl Sword and build up to the Lamb's Sword. It gets more powerful if its WHP are low, but gets normal when repaired.
Mage Slayer
Buy any type of bomb (bombs, bomb nuts) and go to the Sun And Moon Temple. When you find a bomb man, throw one of the bombs at it. You should see a bag after its destruction. Inside should be a Mage Slayer.
Mimic Breaker
Throw a Bomb Nut at a Mimic to receive a Mimic Breaker.
Steve The Slingshot
Steve the Talking Slingshot, can usually be found in about any dungeon, at any level. However, he can be found most often in Wise Owl Forest, in the earlier territories. Try running through all of Wise Owl Forest repeatedly, opening every weapons (large) chest found. This may take a while, but it is worth it. Steve talks whenever you are locked on to an enemy, and may tell you its weaknesses, how cool he is, or just make funny comments about the enemy. This also works with Bosses.
Sun Gem
When you finish Couscous' House, take the candy that he offers you. Once you finish Kye and Momo's House, give them the candy. They will give you an Ointment Leaf for medicine. When you finish Basker's House, give the Leaf to him. He will give you some Foundation (strange powder). Give it to the Chief. The Chief will give you a Clay Doll. Give the Clay Doll to someone in Yellow Drops. They will give you the Sun Gem, which has +10 Attack, +10 All Elements, +3 All Anti-Creature Stats. Note: You can only get one of them.
To get the Sun Gem, get candy from either Claude or Couscous. Give it to the man who has a raccoon mask in Matataki Village. He will give you an Ointment leaf. Give this to Basker in Queens. He will give you Foundation. Give the Foundation to Jibubu in Muska Lacka. He will give you a Clay doll. Give this to the moon person who collects things. He will give you the legendary Sun Gem. It is a powerful attachment.
Super Serpent Sword
Upgrade your initial Dagger to Dagger +11. Create a SynthSphere for it, and attach it to the Serpent Sword. You get the Serpent Sword after connecting water to Treant by River. Upgrade the Serpent Sword to Serpent Sword +4. You should get a Super Serpent Sword. Note: The sword does not actually change its name.
Sword Of Zeus
The Sun Sword is the best weapon to use to get the Sword Of Zeus. You only have to evolve it twice (Sun Sword to Big Bang to Sword Of Zeus). You acquire the Sun Sword when you complete Toto's house in Muska Racka.
Synthsphere
Build up the weapons that have a special skill (for example, The Scorpion and its Poison skill) until they can be turned in to a Synthsphere. You can then give that weapon's special skill to any other weapon you want. For example, you can have a 7th Heaven sword with the Thirst skill, Poison skill, and Bandit skill.
Use the following trick to get unlimited Synthspheres. Status break the Dagger and put it on another weapon, such as a Bandit Slingshot. Then, upgrade the Bandit Slingshot and there will be another dagger. Because the Dagger is a default weapon, it cannot break or disappear. You can do this with any other character's default weapon. Note This trick usually is better at the start of the game because default weapons do not give very good stats, especially when they are status broken.
Play as Toan and select a good weapon (preferably 7th Heaven or Chronicle 2). Go to a dungeon where it takes only one hit to kill monsters. This works well in the Divine Beast Cave or Wise Owl Forest. You must also have a weaker weapon, such as the Baselard or Gladius. Kill the Monster with the good weapon and quickly press [Triangle] and switch to the weaker weapon. Resume the game and the weaker weapon will get the ABS instead of the Higher weapon. This trick can also be used with other players.
Tram Oil
You can find Tram Oil on the first level of the Divine Beast Cave. It is in a chest and only appears up after repeating the level many times.
Toan's Ultimate Blades
Use the Bone Rapier and Build-Up to the 7th Heaven.Ultimate weapons
Use the Wise Owl Sword and Build-Up to the Chronicle Sword.
Use the Macho Sword and Build-Up to the Sword of Zeus.
Use the Build-Up command instead of Status Break to get the best weapons in the game. Status Breaking will only take away 40% of your weapon's power. Use the Status Break only when getting special abilities for your main weapon.
Note: Have the shipwreck level unlocked and have a good weapon. This trick actually works for any dungeon's back floor, but it is easiest with the shipwreck level as you can just buy the Flapping Fish for the "Master". When you get the Flapping Fish (make sure it is next to some ice), press [Triangle], and if possible go to the button that reads "Go To Other Area". Go to shipwreck. Go to floor 1 and do not bother with the enemies, as your ice will probably melt before you get to the "Master". Note: The Master is the purple question mark. Once you go to the back floor, have fun with your treasure. Do not get discouraged if you do not get any gems because it is not guaranteed that you will. However, if you are lucky you can get two or more gems. Once you defeat all the enemies in the back level, go to the button that reads "Leave Dungeon" and press Queens. Once you are in Queens, go to Ruty's Washery (or something similar) and buy another Flapping Fish, and if needed, more ice. Again, this works with the back floor of any dungeon, but is best with the first floor because the enemies are weaker, and the chances of finding a gem seem to be increased.
Weapons upgrade
If you encounter a duplicate weapon, rather than selling it, you can actually status break your original weapon to it. This eases the build-up process. This is very useful if you are building up weapons with a low WHP and Endurance, such as the Bone Rapier, Bone Slingshot, etc.
Upgrade your dagger eleven times then status break it. Put it on to a Shamshir and upgrade that five times. Put that on a Macho's sword. Put that on a Crysknife. Put that on a 7th Heaven. If done correctly, the 7th Heaven should have 99 Attack, 99 Speed, etc.
Building up weapons faster
When trying to build up weapons, upgrade your default weapon to +5. Use Endurance +1, +2, etc. When at +5, Status Break it and put it on the weapon you want to build up. 60% or the default weapon's stats will be on the more powerful weapon. Also, use gem attachments (Ruby, Emerald, Opal, etc.) whenever you can. You can find them in back floors of dungeons and the Fairy King in Dark Heaven Castle (for 3000 gilda each).
Get everything for Gaffer's Buggy (Norune), then go to your attachment bag. Go all the way down in the bag and leave two empty slots. Pretend that you are going to get the ice attribute, instead press [X] + [Right] quickly. There should be something that looks like a broken dagger. This maximizes all stats. Get about four or of them just in case, for a ally.

After you "complete" a level in a dungeon you will see red boxes in different places in a town. These red boxes contain items that are hard to buy or find (for example, Fruit of Eden). The red boxes are sometimes on the walls of the village, or around each house. They also can be found in houses. When looking in houses, search every corner and place where the camera does not view. Note: The red boxes only show up on the village or town you are trying to restore from the Evil Genie. Additionally, do not repeat the same level in a dungeon thinking that you will get red boxes. They will appear only after you complete levels you have done earlier.
Periodically check along the dock (Queens) for red treasure boxes scattered about. The same goes for the Sun And Moon Temple. Upon leaving the dungeon, (before proceeding through the "tusk" entrance way to Muska Lacka) do an about-face. Turn around and check around the entrance of the temple for any red boxes.
Get across a town faster
If you want to get to a place in walking mode faster, enter edit mode. Move the pointer to your destination and exit edit mode.
Atla locations
Every time you go in and out of one dungeon, floor, or territory the Atla will be in different places.
Glitch: Names
In the intermission scene after defeating the Ice Princess you get called Toan, even if you changed your name.
Glitch: Cat name
When choosing the name of the cat, if you click on "Description" it reads "Cat Girl" and not cat (when she is only a cat).
Glitch: Mispronunciation
When you look on your world map, the city of the sun and moon temple is pronounced "Muska Lacka". However, when you enter the city it is spelled "Muska Racka".
Glitch: Misspelling
In the Gallery Of Time. you can get crowns out of the Atlamillia. Upon getting a crown and section of history that requires a crown, look at the slot for the crown. It reads "Crow's slot".
The location "Muska Lacka" appears on the map as "Muska Rocka".
In Maska Lacka, "Jibubu's House" is misspelled as "Jibubu's Hose".
In the instruction manual, at the section on the Georama Menus and how they work, the screenshot will read "Diorama Parts" instead of "Georama Parts".
Glitch: Wrong explanation
When you are in the Wise Owl Forest, note that some doors need to be opened by Goro, by smashing it. If you press [X] when the "!" is over your head (while playing as Goro), the game will say that the stump needs to be smashed . When you are on the shipwreck and find a door that has a red button next to it, press [X] when "!" is over your head. The game will still state that you need to smash a stump, even though what you need to smash is a red button.
Glitch: Reappearing Atlamillia
After defeating the Dark Genie for the final time, you will save Sophia by breaking your Atlamillia. It will never be show on your wrist again, unless you go fishing.
Glitch: Wrong shadow
When you fight in the dungeon, you will see a shadow of yourself. However it will sometimes glitch be something else.
Glitch: Disappearing Rando
Once you get to Queens, Rando shows you how to get to the shipwreck. If you go back into his store, you will notice that he is standing in front of the counter in the front room. Enter the back room (where the boat is located). Press [R2] to enter first-person view. Look through the window between the two rooms, and Rando is no longer there.
Glitch: Disappearing Toan
In the Shipwreck area, the General Fish (the fish that takes Toan to the back floors) puts Toan in his mouth for transportation. However, while he is taking you to the back floor, he has his mouth open and you can see that Toan is not there.
Glitch: Disappearing chest
When you open a big chest with your sword and get it again, it will not be there.
Glitch: Vanishing Fairy Ring
After you get Goro, but before Ruby, you can see her Fairy Ring in the Fishing Points exchange screen. Go to any pond sign, and select "Exchange FP". Use [R1] or [R2] to scroll down, and the Fairy Ring is there, in front of your face. Note: You cannot select or buy the ring, as you cannot move down to it. Pressing [Left] or [Right] makes the ring vanish.
Glitch: Stuck fishing pole
Begin fishing in any pond. When you reel your line in, stand in front of the fishing sign. Once Toan reels the line in, the bobber will get suck to the sign.
Glitch: Invisible fishing pole
Go fishing and look at Toan's shadow. His pole will be gone, and it will appear that he is holding air.
Glitch: Fishing delay
Go to any pond to fish. Throw the line on the ground and watch Toan's hands when he reels the line in. Quickly look down at the shadow of his hands to notice that they are delayed by one or two seconds.
Glitch: Dirt fishing
Go to the pond in Norune Village and face the fishing sign. Walk to the left until you cannot move any further (to the corner of the dirt outline). Position Toan facing the corner, then throw your line out. It should go into the ground and make a splash as if you were fishing in the pond. Depending on where you have your pond at, it may not work. Try it a few times in each corner of your pond. For example, if facing the dungeon, the pond is positioned in the southwest corner of the village (near the entrance to Matataki Village), with the pond's sign on the left.
Glitch: Unlimited FP with enough bait
When you catch a good fish, you should be able to catch it again because Toan throws it back into the pond with a splash.
Glitch: Get stuck in bike
Reach Queens and complete a part of the mayor's place where you put the bikes in. Go straight into the bikes from the map when pressing [Select], close to the building where you think the bike is standing. Upon doing this, you will appear to be stuck with no way out. The only way to exit is through edit mode.
Glitch: Stuck pipe
When you go to the shipwreck, get a flapping fish and go to the back. When the general opens his mouth, his pipe will not fall out. It will stay on his bottom lip.
Glitch: Changing stats
Every time you roam around in the dungeon and find "Atla's", touch to gain a road, trees, people, etc. However, look quickly at your HP and WHP when you touch them -- they will change to different numbers then change back.
Glitch: Leave dungeon with less WHP in bar
Kill all monsters in any dungeon. Make your WHP full. Then leave from the menu. Look at the bar. It will go down, but when you return it will be the same.
Glitch: Crawl under windmill
Go to Norune village and enter edit mode. Put the pointer directly on the edge of Dran's windmill, on the side with the blades. Make sure that the yellow arrow at the bottom of the screen is there, and not a red X (or you cannot enter walking mode). You may need to try a few times before it eventually works.
Glitch: False mask
When you show the Bone Pendent to Goro, his father will appear with a White Tiger mask, even though the greatest monster he killed was the Death Monster.
Glitch: Lana's Store's item
When you see the description of Lana's Store in Queens, it says that she sells sweet and fresh fruit. However, she also sells Poisonous Apples.
Glitch: Norune names
Go to Laura's house in Norune Village. Talk to Laura and she will tell you about her daughter Gina. When you find Laura's daughter, you will find that the name above her head reads "Xena" instead of "Gina".
Go to Pike's house in Norune Village. If he is there, his name will be "Dike" instead of "Pike".
Glitch: Wrong instructions
The forest fairy tells you to hold the "O" button to do a charge attack, but it is really the "X" button.
Glitch: Reincarnation
When you are defeating Masterutan, buy a large number of bombs. When he is about to die, if your health is down very low and timed correctly, give him one last blow. You will be killed with him, but when the intermission sequence begins you will be alive again.
Glitch: Early Demon Shft
You may be able to access the Demon Shaft before you complete the game. You can get it when you go to the Gallery Of Time.
Glitch: Early Boss reference
When in Yellow Drops, go to Ledan's item shop. Select the "Can I Shop Here" option, then exit the item list. Ledan will say "Please take care of the Boss", when you do not have the Boss yet.
Glitch: Sword damage
When in a dungeon with Toan, equip the Lamb's sword. Put an Auto Repair in your active items. Let the Auto Repair fix the sword. The sword will appear to remain in Wolf mode, but will do normal damage. Bringing up the menu will change it back to Lamb.
Glitch: Stuck in prison
Go to Muska Racka, and go to where the prison is located. Press [Select] and go to the edge of the prison. Press [Select]. You should be in the prison. This should take awhile. Once you are in there, you will not be able to move.
