Defeating Dauragon

Sion: Use Sion's last attack, the Hurricane Blitz. First, let Dauragon hit another party member. When he is busy, use Hurricane Blitz. When he gets up, do it again. Keep repeating this until you defeat him. Note: No one can cover from that attack, not even Dauragon.


Sion: Fight Dauragon, and knock him down in some way. Every time he gets up, repeatedly use Sion's Floating Mine attack until he is defeated.


Sion: Get Sion's Double-Knuckle attack. At first, back away from the party and block ([R1]). Then, get behind Dauragon. You should be able to get off three hits with the move, taking away a significant amount of health. It is possible to fight through all three Dauragon modes and defeat him overall with over half your health remaining.


Volt: Use Volt's Lift Up Slam attack. Let your party distract Dauragon, then use the Lift Up Slam attack. When he is getting up, use it again and again until he is defeated. Do not use against a wall or it will not work -- give him some space if he is against the wall.


Kou: Use Kou's Tiger Frenzy attack. Use this attack non-stop, so that Dauragon has no chance of attacking or covering. Note: When he falls, use it the instant that he gets up.

Defeating Kaldea in panther form
Choose to fight with Sion Barzahd. When you are not moving, press [Circle]x2 while not moving with the D-Pad.

Defeating most Bosses easily
Play as Kou. After you have gotten his uppercut attack, wail. If you timed correctly, you can "juggle" the enemy in the air several times.

Kou: Phone conversation
Take Kou on the first battle against MSFs at Fate. When Kou calls Leann, you will hear what she says to Kou.

Kou: Arm-break move
When playing as Kou, you reach the part where you fight the big green robot and two big yellow robots. If a Trinity Rush is done, then Kou will instead do an arm-break move in place of a neck-break move.

Kou: Combos

Triple Roundhouse Kick: Press [Triangle]x3.
Triple Jab: Press [Triangle]x3.
Slider: Press [Right], [Left], [Down], or [Up] then quickly press [X].

Kaldea: Three deaths

Do not use Sion when you get separated or in the ship where you see the panther.

Do not use Sion when you get separated, but when you see the panther in the ship use Sion.

Use Sion when you get separated and in the ship when you fight the panther.

Kou: Juggling attack
Use Kou's Circular Upper Cut for a continuos juggle. This even works against the final Boss. Note: This does not work on robotic opponents.

Kou: MSF signs
After you fight the one armed Dauragon, you will get a MSF outfit. Leann Caldwell sends you a briefing of which button makes which sign ([Square] for unparalleled friendship, [Triangle] for old man in thought). If confronted by another MSF and you do not understand which sign they are using, press [Square]. Sometimes they will laugh and point you to a different part of the buildings. This will only work with certain MSF.

Sion: Three final stories

Song's story: Play with Kou or Volt through the entire game. However, use Sion when you are going to battle with Dauragon. Sion will think about his master.

Kaldea's story: Do not use Sion when you get separated. Use Sion in the ship when you see the panther and in the last battle. Sion will remember what Kaldea said.

Dominique's story: Use Sion when you get separated, when you see the panther in the ship, and when fighting Dauragon to see Dominique's story.

Sion: Juggling attack
Use the Double Uppercut to launch your opponent, then use the Hard Jump attack to finish. This requires very good timing for the hard jump. Note: This does not work on robotic opponents.

Sion: Combos

Double uppercut: Press [Square]x2.
Triple Kick: Press [Square]x3.
Mid-Air Double Kick: Press [Circle]x2.

Volt: Combos

Lightning Kneel Kick: Press [Left], [Right], [Down], or [Up] then quickly press [Triangle].
Running Liriat: Press [Left], [Right], [Down], or [Up] then quickly press [Square].
Heavy Low Kick: Press [X]x2.

Character attributes
Sion is the fastest of the three, but with no super moves he is also the weakest. Volt is the strongest and is also slow. Super moves should be performed only in an open area since almost all of them are throws. Kou is balanced. He is faster than Volt and stronger than Sion. When he gets Tiger Frenzy and Raging Tiger, he is unstoppable.

Card key
To get the card key, open all three boxes. There is one lunch box on either side on the seats. Just walk up to it to open it and move on quickly to the next one. The third box in a briefcase in the back of the train, the key will be inside.

Team attack
Immediately press [R2] whenever you hear one of your teammates make a taunt. Most of the time everyone will all team up against an enemy. This move will mostly always be blocked by the final Boss.

Team sacrifices
Do not worry if any of your CPU controlled partners gets defeated. As long as you are still standing, they will return for the next battle.

After-game fights
Play as the following character to fight the corresponding opponent after the game.

Sion: You will fight Wong after completing the entire game as Sion.

Volt: You will no one, but you will still see Echidna at the bar though after completing the entire game as Volt.

Kou: You will fight Leann after completing most of the game as Kou.

Easy experience
During in any battle, look at the top right of your screen. When one of the bubbles that represents an enemy is colored red, go to that person and quickly kill them. You will get the experience while your partner(s) did all the work.

Bar Fate battle
The first battle is in Bar Fate, with MSF Agents as your opponents. This is your introductory fight. Get used to the play mechanics and earn yourself some experience. It does not really matter if you win this fight or not -- it is one of a few that you can actually lose without the game ending. Get a feel for what chains work best for the Bouncer you have chosen.

Save health in Rocket Tower
During the Rocket Tower sequence, if you are low on life or do not think you can survive all the way through, just run past the robots or guards. You can still win the level, just without all the battle points.

Hidden computer
During the three-way path split, choose Sion. After defeating the two security guards, watch the intermission sequence and you will be in a office-like room. Go straight, then left to a door. Exit this corridor through the door on the immediate left. Run through the bar and out the door on the other side. Proceed left if you want to fight a security commander and a P-101, but it is not necessary. Go down the corridor a little bit, then left through the door. From there, follow the doors until you go up a flight of stairs, fight five to six guards with two P-101's, and see Kaldea the panther. Keep going and you will end up in a sloppy little computer room. Walk up to it and check out the information provided on the MSFs, Mugetsu, Kaldea Orchid, and "Aggelos Anastasius".

Cactuar picture
When you are looking for the card key on the MSD cargo train, pick Volt. Do not find the card key and get trapped. Pause game play once Volt's back appears. He will have a picture of a Cactuar from Final Fantasy 10 that reads "NO ESCAPE!". Note: This also works with Sion, but you will see a different picture.

Save health in Emergency Exit
During the Emergency Exit level, if you are low on life or do not think you will live through the guards, you can run past them and still escape.

Boss battles
On any "boss" level, if you are not that strong, go for the Boss first. Once the Boss dies, you will win. Everything is the same except you do not get all the experience. For example, on the MSD Cargo Train, if you attack Echidna first and she dies you will win but you will not get all the possible Battle Points.

Glitch: Jump between floors
In the first fight at Bar Fate, stay on the top floor. When someone taunts, press [R2] to do a Trinity Rush. If the person that taunted is downstairs, you will attack downstairs. When the Trinity Rush is over you will be back on the top floor instantly.

Glitch: Opponent stuck in piano
When playing the crystal dome level (versus mode recommended) and playing as Sion, Kou, or Dauragon (recommended), use the uppercut (double, circular, or the powerful one, etc.) when under the second floor (under the piano). If done correctly and directly under the piano, your opponent will get stuck in the piano and he will bounce all over the place. When you run into your opponent, you get hurt and bounce off each other until he dies.
