Hint: Items
When fighting enemies such as the Delzweld soldiers, defeat the
commanders first. They often carry equipment you can use or sell.
When you fight Cameillia, and afterwards Droguza, find the blue and
green boxes on the battle field and break them open before ending
the battle. The contents are well worth the effort.
When inside the Flying Castle, do not go directly to the elevators
to fight the Divine Ruler. Instead, search each floor for the
treasure rooms. There is powerful equipment for every character
spread throughout the fortress.

Hint: Chest behind dog in Milmarma
You will need to have a bone to give to the dog, Rover. It can be
obtained by checking the two rocks behind the old man in the small
land platform leading to the palace. You will not get any item. It
is just charity work to help little Rover get a new owner.

Hint: Defeating Demon Droguza
Before going to the Megis with Darc's party in the "Evolution"
chapter, make sure that Camellia is at least at level 20 and has all
the best weapon attachments and armor (and perhaps speed boosting).
Before you go into the elevator in the lab, make sure that you have
transformed Camellia into her younger self and have enough Spirit
Stones to max her out. When you fight Demon Droguza, get past the
point where he casts a wall attack spell, but far enough that he
cannot swipe at Camellia (the rest of the party is support). Just
keep shooting and he will almost never hit Camellia, except for his
tail bomb attack (in which case you should heal).

Hint: Dragon's Wrath and Storm Medallion
When you fight the two giant dragons in Darc's story, kill the
Golden Dragon for a Dragon's Wrath, which puts Darc's counterattack
to 100, or the Silver Dragon for a Storm Medallion. If you want both
items, take the extra time to steal from one dragon after killing
the first.

Hint: Deikbeck impostors
Note: This can only be done as Kharg. When you encounter the
impostors, they will ask if you believe that they are the real
Deikbeck. Even though their names are spelled slightly different, do
not believe them and choose the second answer. The first impostor is
located in Parenz Ruins, while looking for the three materials
required for the Tele-Op. You can find the impostor in the middle
left corner of the area behind a large metal wall. You will get a
Shadow Talisman. The second impostor is located in Peisus library.
Once you have obtained the Lamda Sutra and have gone out, go back to
the library. Go into the place where you got the Lamba Sutra and
meet the second impostor. Tell him that you do not believe him and
he will give you a quiz. Answer ten questions correctly and you will
get a Spirit Amulet. Answer at least one correctly and you will get
a Neuro Charge (can be bought in a shop inside the Flying Fortress)
for your airship.

The ten answers to the questionnaire from the Diekbeck imposter in
the Library are as follows:
Counterclockwise
A Cat
Beautiful Stones
Palkia
How Much To Spend On the Entrants' Lunches
A Pair of Dice
The Shinobi Gang
Lakelta Deimos
A Pipe
Buster
You will get a Diek Screw (makes Diekbeck very fast) if you answer
less than five correctly, a Neutrino Chage (for Airship) and
Clivis's Book (rids player of all abnormal status) if you answer
between five and ten, and the Spirit Amulet (blocks Fire, Wind,
Water, Earth, and Light attacks for Kharg to equip) if you answer
all ten.

New Game+
Complete the game to unlock the New Game+ option. This
allows you to start as Kharg with a King Statuette, 999 Spirit
Stones, 3 Diamond Coatings, and 100,000 G; or Darc with a Romantic
Stone, 999 Spirit Stones, 3 Diamond Coatings, 10 Bountiful Fruit, 50
Dilzweld Bombs, and 100,000 G.

Hint: Dealing more damage
Attacking the enemies from behind deals more damage than from up
front. Use that angle of attack whenever possible.

Hint: Golem Mask and Stuffed Bear
When you fight Bebedora and her two Altimas, it is a good idea to
either kill the Altimas or steal from them to make sure you get
Bebedora's Stuffed Bear and Maru's Golem Mask.

Hint: Defeating Black Abyss
It is possible to defeat Black Abyss at level 33 for both Darc and
Kharg. A long range character (Maru recommended) is required. Before
you start the battle, equip all your character's weapons with at
least two Diamond Coating or something else that increases your
attack greatly Equip most of your characters with at least two
Diamond Coatings is recommended. You will also need at least two
Stone Bags for each character, and extra Gales that make you speed
up in the party items for backup. Allow your character to learn a
long and wide range moves. Make sure to sell all your Elixir and
other items that effect enemies items, and buy lot of Strongest Herd
and a dozen Revival Medicines. Give the six characters at least
three Greatest and make sure to have one healer. Store that
character with more Strongest Herd and three Revival Medicines.
However, do not throw items that temporary raise ATT away, as they
will be needed. When you are ready to battle, select Maru with you
and Demelia, or a party with Darc, Kharg, Paulette, Ganz, Volk and
Maru. Black Abyss has three moves: summon Brain Cell to attack,
absorb HP from nearby, and a beam that deals lot of damage across
the room (but not the edge of the room). This attack will regain his
black mist and raise its defense. Black Abyss has great defense. You
must kill Brain Cell to weaken it. If you notice the black mist
around him slowly lighten, use the following strategy. If you have
master Black Abyss moves, then you are ready. Separate your six
characters, three to each side, and stay at the edge of the room.
Kill each Brain Cell. Do not use too many moves on them, but on
Black Abyss. Note: If you are out of SP for moves, re-equip that
character's accessories to Gale to raise that character's speed
(especially when Maru is out of SP). Raise Maru's ATT with items.
Once you notice the mist surrounding Black Abyss has disappeared, do
not go near Black Abyss. You will find that the Black Abyss has
become inactive. Use this opportunity to slowly kill Black Abyss
with your best long range attack (Maru).

Diekbeck
Win the 30 round arena trial in Cathena in Kharg's storyline to
unlock Diekbeck as a selectable character.

Hint: Joint attack
You can do a joint attack on enemies whenever your character's body
is burning with fire. You get this burning effect when you receive a
certain amount of damage. When using that character to attack, a
nearby ally will team up with you.

Hint: Knuckle Guard
When playing as Kharg in the beginning of the game, after going
through the entire Banjo, Lloyd, Spirit Stone scenes, go to the
bottom-left of Yewbell to the refinery. Talk to the man outside and
he will say he is waiting for Banjo so he can unlock the shop. He
asks you to go find Banjo. Say "Yes", then go to the item shop. He
will be in the upper-right corner. Talk to him, and he will give you
the Knuckle Guard. It increases only Kharg's Defense and Guard,and
it is a good weapon part at the beginning of the game. When you no
longer want it, sell it for 350 G.

Hint: Aiming at multiple enemies
When enemies are close, you can actually attack them depending on
your character's attacking arc. Some are large while others are
small but ranged. Go to the position that you would like to attack
from. Hold R1 and aim the arc at the enemies. Move the arc left or
right to aim properly until you get "targets" above the enemies you
want to attack. Sometimes you must quit aiming and move slightly to
aim properly. Some require very slight adjustments; turn very
slowly.

Hint: Herbs
Use the following trick to get ten free Herbs. In Chapter 1 of
Darc's story, after you get Densimo into your party go to the
entrance of Gorma's House. Look to the left, and you will see a
yellow skinny Orcon walking around. Talk to him and he will note
that Densimo is in your party, causing him to start talking about
the five Wonders of Orcoth. Pretend that you care about what he says
and say that you will listen. He will ask you a few f times if you
are still interested in listening. Lie and say "Yes". Eventually he
will ask you how many words were in the spiel he just gave. Choose
the one that reads 600-800 (the fourth choice) and he will give you
ten Herbs. Note: You must do this while Densimo is in your party.
Doing it before or after results in you obtaining nothing.

Hint: Burst Blade
When fighting against Darkham and his bodyguards, defeat Darkham
first for Kharg's Burst Blade, which nearly doubles his attack arc
width.

Hint: Better aiming
To aim better without moving from your current position, when
controlling your character, hold R1 during a battle. An arc will
appear. The highlighted arc shows the range where you can attack.
Aim at the enemy and attack.

Choco
Win the 30 round arena trial in Rueloon in Darc's storyline to
unlock Choco as a selectable character.

Hint: Get more skill/magic
When certain characters "class up" at the end of the battle screen,
this indicates you can learn new skill or magic. Go to the menu,
select the character that "classed up" and select "Skill". The
magic/skill menu will appear, displaying both the learned
magic/skill and skill/magics that have not been learned. Choose the
one you want to learn and pay the "SP cost" to get it. Note: You get
SP by attacking and , killing enemies.

Hint: Easy experience
When in a battle and there are stumps, crates, etc., attack and
destroy them. Sometimes you will get items and Spirit Stones. It is
worth the extra effort because even if it is empty, you get
experience and SP for them.

When you are in the Flying Castle and are fighting Lilia Getmann,
there will be a few Meshimgen. If you kill one, on Lilia Getmann's
next turn it will summon another Meshimgen. With this strategy you
can get incredible experience and SP. The Meshimgen also will
usually drop 60 Spirit Stones, so you can use as many skills as
desired. With this strategy, you can level up, get more Spirit
Stones, and have enough SP to get everyone's star number to the
maximum; allowing you to get ready for the powerful final Boss, Lord
Of The Black Abyss.

An very easy way to get extra experience is to fight in the Arenas
(Cathena and Lamda in Kharg's story, or Orcoth and Rueloon in Darc's
story). Although expensive (100 G for five to ten fights, 200 G for
fifteen to twenty fights, and 300 G for thirty fights), you can
sometimes get 5,000 experience per fight and upwards of 100 SP. A
good strategy for getting though them is to make sure you have
enough Spirit Stones or items to keep yourself healed. Also,
remember that the final round is more often than not the most
difficult of the entire competition.
