Easy money
After successfully completing chapter 1, return to the training area (the first mission) and complete training again. Almost every time, you will get between 300 to 500 experience points, and between 300 and 600 gold.
Go to the gambling fight with the bonus for each hit landed on the opponent.
Go to the level where you must face four people and get a bonus. This will be stated at the top where the article is located. Land as many hits as possible (Talim is recommended). You will receive about 28,000 gold.
In weapon master mode, go to chapter 9 (Algol). In the second stage is a tournament where you can get a bonus of 1,000 to 2,000 gold per hit. You will fight three to five enemies. By the time you win, you will gain between 20,000 to 35,000 gold. You can keep repeating this strategy until you get the desired amount of goal. This is best done the first time you play, as it will get increasingly difficult in the later times that you play.
To gain a lot of money in a short time, go to the options screen and set the game to the "Easy" difficulty setting and the time to be infinite. Then, with any character, complete the game. After doing this, you automatically get 1,000 gold. Continue this as long as needed. This is also an easy way to unlock character's biographies in "Museum" mode.
In weapon master mode, go to Chapter 9, Algol, and go to stage 2, Ancient Amphitheater. Do not do the extra mission if you cannot survive with it blowing up. Fight the people there. If you are skilled, you might get from 20000 to over 30000 gold.
Regaining health
When you are in a dungeon and do not regain full health back after a battle, just go to the first square in it and fight there. You will start at full health again.
Defeating Inferno in arcade mode
When you finally reach Inferno, the last Boss on the first arcade mode when playing as Nightmare, keep pressing [A] + [X] to do a four-hit combo to defeat him.
Easy ring outs
Get your opponent to the edge of the ring as Nightmare. Do a back and vertical slash. Your opponent will fly into the air and fall out of the ring.
With any character, press [Forward] + "Low Kick".
Kilik: Easy wins
In weapon master mode, choose either the Kunloon Bamboo Rod or Jingu Rod. Only use horizontal attacks in the battle. When you have hit your opponent on the ground, run towards them. Even when you reach them, keep running forward. When your opponent starts to get up, press [A] while still holding [Forward]. This will catch your opponent off-guard almost every time, and will keep hitting them to the ground. Keep repeating this and they will never have a chance to hit you.
Link: Easy wins
Do Link's throw near the edge ( [A] + [B] ) in weapon master mode for an automatic win.
Get close to your opponent and do your grab move ( [A] + [B] ). When the enemy is down, get next to him. When he is getting up, keep doing the grab move. When he is up, if you are still doing the grab move he will not have time to attack or block. Keep doing this until you defeat your opponent.
Note: This tip is most effective against CPU opponents. At the start of a fight, press [A] + [B] to throw your opponent into the air. While they are airborne, press [Up] + [Y] to attack your opponent while it is in the air. Once they are on the ground, repeatedly press [X] to kick them until they get up. Once they are on their feet again, repeat.
In weapon master and extra mode, equip Razor Sword or Megaton Hammer. Dash towards the opponent and press the vertical attack button and use the vertical slash. This does about one quarter damage when they are standing and one sixth damage when they are down.
This works at any ring. Select Link and go to the edge of the ring. Wait for your opponent to get close enough to use the [A] + [G] grapple and whip them out of the ring.
Link: Upper Slash
Press "Up/Forward" + [A].
Maxi: Auto-followups
When using Maxi, it is important to note that some attacks with the nunchuku continue after you have entered a particular command, seemingly automatically.
Raphael: Easy win
Repeatedly perform the rapid [Y] horizontal attack. This can kill all enemies except very fast ones (for example, Assassin).
When close to the edge, grab your opponent. He should be knocked off if you use the grab where he hits them multiple times with his sword.
Taki: Strong kick combo
When you get hit first, press [L] + [R] + [Up] + [X] (Kick) together in any position. You will do a kick combo. Note: You have to get close to your opponent.
Voldo: Easy weapon master mode
Use Voldo to complete weapon master mode by running at the opponent, then press [Y] and continue this for an easy ring out. This will cut the time to completing weapon master mode in half.
Yoshimitsu: Easy wins
Use either of his frontal throws ( "BG" or "AG" ) and constantly use them until the enemy is defeated. This is especially useful for the subchapter dungeon with all of the Berzerker enemies, as most of them are at half health.
Yoshimitsu: Suicide
Get near the opponent then press [Down], [A] + [K].
Rival selection
When you start a new game in weapon master mode, whoever you choose for the first battle will affect who your rival will be for the rest of the game. If your rival is male, then his name will be Leon. If they are female, their name will be Minerva. Below is a chart of characters and their rivals.
