Getting Percy back
You will fight the Black Knight near the end of the
game in the Sand Caves just before the exit, . This is really
Percy. When he attacks, run away. Keep running until the curse
is broken and Percy will join the team again.
The Light Orbs
Ever wonder what those light orbs given by the god's
assistant were good for? The orbs can also be used for Speed Traveling:
When you've cleared Arawan's Tower and have gotten at least 6
characters, you can travel very quickly to towns and places you've
visited. Put the unwanted 6th player in the town you've visited
and want to visit. Then get one of your players to use his/her
Light Orb. Teleport to the town instantly.
Revive
Get Domino and go to Marion Castle. Directly above
the castle are mountains. Get in the boat and go in the mountains.
There will be a priest who will let one of your characters learn
Revive. It is best taught to Finn, as he should live the longest
and does not really need magic.
Easy level up
Have Tont (secret character), high levels on everyone
(16-18), be at Marion Castle after freeing the guards from the
bridge, at least enough to buy herbs (10 each) and rest at the
inn (50). For magic, have you at Fire Lv2, Sampson just attack
but must hit, Annie Holy Light Lv2, Edward: Ice Lv2, and Tont
Titan Lv1. You have to be in manual and fight in the order you
see the character's name. After you meet those requirements, Go
in to the castle and stay on the first level. Walk around the
room until you fight someone, but do not get too far from the
door outside. You may have to go into a room to get a battle.
Make sure you can win the battle with one round of your characters.
Then, fight two battles and do not get killed. Go into the town
and rest for 50. The battles will give you several hundred. Then,
return to the castle and repeat the process until you are at the
level you wish to be at.
Access to treasure chests
Remember all of those treasure chests that you could
not access without a certain key? Well, it just so happens that
the key is located in the cave of the sleeping dragon. Go get
the key and you now have access to all of the treasure chests
and the mighty dragon sword. But note that the key will not be
there until you have reached the enclosed valley.
Treasure chest locations
In the cave of the sleeping golden dragon. Go to the house where
a treasure chest with the sword awaits you.
There are two chests in Bandore. One is in the upper floor of
the inn. The other is located in the dungeon cells of the castle.
There is one in the magical village of Simone. Go in the tree
and there will be a treasure chest on the bottom second floor.
Secret merchant
There is a secret merchant on the second level of the
deserted castle west of Leave village.
APS (Active Playing System)
Your characters may be able to perform special attacks
by pressing special button sequences. The only reliable one is
rapidly pushing [X] either:
Before a character is about to attack (resulting in a double attack)
Before a monster is about to attack (resulting in a guard or counterattack)
Before a character recovers from grogginess (resulting in gaining
more VP).
Another suggestion is to hit [X] repeatedly while either
holding [Up] or [Down]. Holding [Up] when a blue
diamond appears result sin the double attack and [Down] when
the diamond is gold results in the super attack.
Running away
Tired of fighting those monsters every 3 steps? Then
run! Running is quite easy to do in this game and you are not
penalized anything for it (except that you gain no exp. points,
of course).
Making More Money (Japanese version)
If you are equipped with any of the magical rings,
go ahead and sell it. However, make sure that it is equipped first.
Once you sell it, you will notice that you are still wearing it
and you are 7,500 gps richer. Keep on repeating the process until
you reach 99,999 gps. Go out and buy stuff.
