Hidden area
Collect Dark Crystals during the game by killing various
monsters. Go to a Save Crystal and enter the item screen. Use
a Dark Crystal to go to the Shadow Tower.
Easy stat increase
When playing as Sharline in the area before the research
lab, find the Save Crystal under the cliff by Royal Commons. There
is a plant creature that always gives you a Blue Fruit there.
You can attain maximum stats early by killing the plant/monster,
then go into the shop. After entering the shop, all enemies in
the area are respawned.
When playing as for Sharline, in the middle of sky tower there
is an icy area on the third floor near the elevator. One of the
big pink guys is located here. Kill him and he will drop a Red
Fruit. Each time you kill him, another one will appear. Kill him
nine times, then return to the save crystal and return. Repeat
this as needed.
When you begin your adventure as Darius, make your way to the
first Save Crystal you find. When you go through the "stone
doorway" that is next to it, a bee-type enemy will appear.
Kill it, and it will drop a Blue Fruit. Blue Fruits give you 5
points to add to your stats. Return to the Save Crystal, then
use it to enter the store. Walk out of the store, return to the
bee, and kill it again. It should drop another Blue Fruit. Repeat
this as many times as needed. This trick can be done wherever
there is a Blue/Red Fruit near a Save Crystal.
Easy money
While playing as Darius, in the shrine under the castle
there is a Save Crystal. Continue down the walkway you will fight
a giant stone monster. Go left or right from that room you can
find as many as four of these opponents. There is a good chance
that they will drop a Palmira Ore, which sells for 1,000. They
also drop Red Fruits on occasion, which also makes this location
a good place to increase Darius' stats and equipment levels.
While playing as Sharline, when in the basement of the Human Research
Facility, fall off one of the platforms that is above the save
point. Run back and forth under here, killing the monsters that
appear. Make sure you are stocked up healing potions. One of the
monsters will drop some armor. Pick it up and sell it for 666
gold. When you run out of healing potions, go to the shop and
sell the armor. You should now have about 5,000 gold. Repeat this
as needed.
When you first start the game as Darius, go up to any of the trees
around the fountain of life. Use a hard punch and hit the tree.
It may take a few attempts, but but a Palmaria Bee will appear.
Kill it to get one of three things (nothing, Palmaria piece, or
Dark Guied post).
Go to the castle with Darius. After defeating the Queen Boss,
go to the library. Go between two shelves and take off your weapon.
Punch the shelves and eventually a Palmira Bee will appear. They
are easy to defeat here. Position yourself near a wall, as they
cannot move around, Punch them they may drop a Palmira Ore, which
is worth 1,000.
Darkforge Armor
In Darius's story, you have to fight a monster that
appears in the reception hall. After you defeat this monster,
the ground begins to shake and you go to the underground shrine.
When enter, you will find a save crystal -- hopefully you have
enough money to buy it. Enter the shop, go to the armor and purchase
it. This is the best armor and greatly increases strength.
Defender Sword
In Darius' story, when you get into the coliseum and
defeat the Boss, he will slam his sword into the ground and cause
an avalanche. This will cause both of you to plummet downward.
When you get on your feet, turn around and you will see a sword
on the floor. Pick it up. It is the Boss' Defender Sword that
he dropped after the fall.
Degulta
when you are transported to the coliseum in Darius's
story, do not go inside yet. Instead, walk around the outside.
You will encounter a monster with a Degulta. Defeat it to get
it -- if you do not get it, you fought the wrong monster.
Heavenly Axe
In Darius' story, when you get to the abandoned road
and defeat Djin, a bridge will apear. Go across the bridge and
follow the path. You will enter a room with Sienna. Do not talk
to her yet. Instead, turn right and pick up the Heavenly Axe.
Red Fruits
On the abandoned road, when you first enter after the
coliseum, turn right after the Save Crystal. Kill the lobster-like
monster to get a Red Fruit. Go to the shop in the Crystal and
return. Fight the monster again and repeat to get as many Red
Fruits as needed.
Immediately after you put the body on the statue and go to soaring
tower lower part, go up the two flights of stairs. Fight the monsters
at the top (red with clubs). There are ten monsters with a total
of ten Red Fruits. Do not go through the forest symbol. Instead,
go down the stairs and to the shop. Save the game and go up the
stairs again. The monsters will be back, and the Red Fruits will
drop. Repeat this as many times as desired.
