Hints
Defeating Captain's Chariot
To defeat Captain's Chariot ("cannon" in
shipwreck), when they shoot at you, try to dodge it. Select Goro
if he is very strong, otherwise play as Toan. Target it and keep
looking at it. Walk towards it and try to bring it to the wall
(until you cannot go further). During this entire time he will
not shoot you. When he is at the wall, keep hitting him until
he is defeated.
Defeating Black Pendragon
When fighting the Black Pendragon at the end of the
Demon Shaft, only attack with one hit then retreat. If you attempt
a combo he will counter and cause your sword, no matter how powerful,
to instantly break. Save immediately before you attempt to battle
him, to avoid losing any precious weapons such as a Chronicle
Sword.
Note: When you defeat Black Pendragon, a light will shoot down
on him. This is when you find the Chronicle 2 sword.
Defeating Dran
To defeat the first boss, Dran, run around the
area and shoot him with Xiao's slingshot. As soon as you hit him,
run up and attack him with your sword. Repeat this until he dies.
Depending on the strength of your sword, this could take a long
time.
Change to Xiao, then run around the edge (the part that does not
crack) and shoot him. Then, switch to Toan and hit him with your
sword. You may want to spend some time building up Toan's sword
before you face Dran.
Use Toan to run around the arena as Dran makes the holes. When
there are a lot of holes, switch to Xiao and lock onto Dran. Wait
for him to fly over one of the holes. When he gets over one, shoot
him with the sling shot. This will cause him to fall down a hole
and take a lot of damage without you having to risk your health
by attacking him.
Go into the Divine Beast Cave and get around 2500 Gilda. Next,
go back up to the Odd Gaffer's Buggy and buy twenty or thirty
bombs.Go back down to Dran and have Xiao shoot his underbelly
to get him to land. If you shoot him in the face, he lands and
attacks with a type of headbutt. Once Dran is on the ground, have
your character throw bombs at him repeatedly (use the "Ready
Items" at the top of the screen) until he flies back up.
Repeat this until he is defeated.
One of the easiest ways to defeat Dran without getting hurt is
to use Xiao the entire time. Get over three Repair Powders for
her slingshot before you go into the Divine Beast Cave. A Steel
Slingshot +3 also helps, but is not required. When the fight begins,
switch from Toan to Xiao. Put the target lock on Dran and do not
take it off. This is crucial to not get hit. Target lock Dran
and hit him in the face with the slingshot. He will charge you,
but you will have plenty of time to get out of the way. By the
time he lands your slingshot should be ready to go again, and
you will hit Dran in the face (since you are target locked on
him and know exactly where he is). Repeat this until he dies/snaps
out of his trance.
Buy about twenty bombs. When in the Battlefield use Xaio and shoot
Dran to get him on the ground. Then, equip the bombs and throw
them at him. It works very fast.
Defeating Masterutan
Use Goro for the entire time. Select Goro's Battle
Ax, keep attacking the big ape, and trap him against the edge
of the battlefield. He will eventually die.
Use Toan and your strongest sword. You can also try this with
the Wise Owl Sword with damage of 55, which is the maximum. Run
towards him -- do not hang back and let him shoot the seeds at
you. Get him to swing at you and evade the blow. When he becomes
dizzy, run in, charge one blink (so Toan will do his jumping slash)
and attack. His weak spot is his head, although it is not targeted
when pressing [Circle]. He has around 500HP.
When fighting Masterutan, he will sometimes bounce away from you
and eat some fruit. After he eats this, he will turn and spit
seeds at you. Instead of trying to avoid them by running, hold
[R1] to block his attack. Your character will raise their
weapon and block all the shots.
Before you fight him, make sure you have plenty of Repair Powders.
When you first go in, use Toan to block the seeds that Masterutan
will spit at you. Get close to him and switch to Xiao. Target
Masterutan and keep him in target lock. Hit him about three or
four times with your slingshot and move out of the way. Keep doing
this and he will eventually die/snap out of his trance. You may
also choose to move Xiao while hitting him with the slingshot,
but this seems to result in a lot of "no effect" hits.
Keep using Toan's special attack. If you do this about six times,
he will die. Note: Try to get a Wise Owl Sword +5 attachment and
equip it to the Serpent sword to get about a 65 attack.
Defeating the Sun Moon Temple Boss
First, use Ungaga to clear the dark wind around him,
then switch to Toan and hit with a charge attack. Repeat for about
fifteen to twenty times. This Boss is extremely easy.
Defeating Rockonoff
When you fight a Rockonoff in the first dungeon, use
Xiao and any slingshot. Keep your distance from it with Dran's
Feather. When you get far enough, press [R2] to go into first
person view and start shooting. It will not move if you position
yourself correctly.
Extra damage as Ruby
When Ruby is your chosen character, to get the same
damage as she would with a charge hold [Down]. Release it
before she glows. She should do more damage and take only 1 instead
of 2 WHP.
Boss clues
When fighting a Boss, use Xiao with Steve. Steve will
talk and give hints on how to defeat the Bosses.
Easy money
You can sell fishing bait and useless items such as
Bombs, Fire Gems, Ice Gems, etc. However, fishing bait sells for
more money.
After completing the Sunken Ship and getting all City Pieces,
go to the Fish Shop. Buy the Flapping Fish and an Ice Cube. Use
the map and go to Sunken Ship level 1. Run around until you find
the entrance to the back floors. Use the Flapping Fish when you
find the entrance. A big fish will appear. Get in the fish --
press [X] when next to him, and choose the option to get
in. Once you get to the back floors, all or almost all treasures
will be gems. You can either use them for attachments or sell
them. This can repeated as many times as needed.
When you die in the dungeon without stand in powder, you have
to pay half of your money. To prevent this, just use your money
to buy gold bullion. They cost 1,000 and you can sell them for
1,000.
If you have over 10,000 in gilda or bullion, step in a vortex
and you get will get "increased money". Your gilda will
increase by 10,000.
Go to the first floor of the Divine Beast Cave and kill some monsters.
Use Xiao with her Bandit Slingshot. Sometimes, you will get a
Crysknife, or a similar weapon. Get money by killing monsters
and selling fishing bait and weapons.
Go to Muska Racka pond in Muska Rucka village. Wait until dawn
and begin fishing. Use the poisonous apple as bait. Doing so will
allow you to catch a Mardan Garayan most of the time. These fish
easily give 200 to 500 FP. Once you catch one, choose the "Exchange
FP" option. Buy a Mighty Healing, which costs 15 FP. Next,
sell a Mighty Healing to any shop and get 150 gilda. Stock up
on poisonous apples at Lana's Shop in Queens. Likewise, if you
catch a Mardan Garayan and get 300 FP, you can buy 20 Mighty Healing,
which will give you up to 3000 gilda once you sell them. Use only
poisonous apples because only Mardan Garayans go for them. You
can also fish at the waterfall in Matataki Villiage at night.
To get extra money in Norune, buy ten to fifteen bombs and go
into a level in the Divine Beast Cave with a lot of stone monsters
or dragons (nine to fourteen). Use the bomb to blow up the dragons
or stone monsters (Statues, Rocknoffs, etc.). You should get a
Stone Breaker or Dinoslayer. Sell those to Odd Gaffer for double
the amount the you bought the bombs for.
If you run out of money, sell all the amulets you get. Sell all
the fishing bait and all attachments except for gems. Sell Wind
Gems, Fire Gems, etc. Also sell useless weapons, unless you want
to status break them.
You need Goro and his Big Bucks Hammer to do this trick. Find
an enemy that steals your money. When you defeat it, the game
gives double or triple your money back because the hammer gives
double Gilda.
Easy battles
Find a shop that has bombs (for example, the first
shop in Norune Village). Ask the person that is running the shop
if you can shop there. Trade in all fish bait and sword gems (Garnet,
Sea, Pearl, Ruby, Diamond). Buy as many bombs, water, and bread
as possible. Go to any dungeon and put nine bombs in one pouch.
When you see a monster, lock on and throw it. Most monsters take
one bomb, but the big Mimic takes two or three. Repeat this to
all monsters in all floors of the dungeons and it will be a lot
easier, especially when you can only use a certain character on
some floors.
Easy Abs
For a good amount of Abs, find a group of Sun Dews
and go into the back area of the Wise Owl Forest: Level 10. The
Werewolves there give 24 Abs for each kill.
When fighting the Werewolves to build up your weapons, equip a
strong weapon that can kill the Werewolves in two or three hits
and does not get damaged in the process. As you score the last
hit that kills the Werewolf, quickly press [Triangle]. Equip
the weak weapon you are trying to build up and exit out of the
menus. The werewolf should turn gray, drop to the ground, and
disappear. The weaker weapon you equipped will get the 24 Abs
without having to land a blow or take any damage. Switch back
to your powerful weapon and repeat.
The best way to upgrade a weapon is in the back floor of DemonShaft
on 21. They result in 40 Abs for each kill. This is very useful
when upgrading Toan.
Get a very strong sword (for example, Chronicle, Seventh Heaven,
etc.). Then, kill an enemy and while it is fading, change to a
weak sword. It will gain the Abs instead of the strong sword.
To quickly power up lower level weapons, slay an enemy with a
different arm. Before the enemy body vanishes, switch to the weapon
you wish to enhance. the experience will be issued to the weapon
that is currently equipped. The harder the foe, the more experience
you will receive.
Switch to a strong character and attack an enemy, but do not kill
it. When the enemy's health is very low, switch to a weaker character
and kill it. The weaker character will get the Abs instead of
the stronger character. Note: You may want to do this in the Moon
Sea, Gallery of Time, or the Demon Shaft.
When you enter any back floor, kill all monsters then, leave using
the secret entrance (the ? on the map). Then, kill all back floor
monsters again. Every time you leave and return, new monsters
will appear.
Go to the Wise Owl Forest and get a Sun Dew. Then, go to level
10. Once you have the Sun Dew. go in the back room, collect the
gems, and kill the monsters. Exit the back room and re-enter it
again. The monsters will be there again, but the gems will not.
Keep Abs
Decrease Abs Limited Zones can get very annoying, especially
when your weapon is near upgrade. However, there is a way to avoid
this. When you kill an enemy, immediately before his body disappears
and you lose the Abs, switch to an ally. Neither the person who
killed the monster, nor the ally, will lose any Abs.
On the floors that reduce Abs while fighting, there is a way to
avoid this. Abs are only reduced after the monster has been killed.
Immediately after the monsters health reaches zero, press [Select]
and change to a different character. Neither characters will lose
Abs.
Free items
If you do not build Old Gaffer's Buggy, you may still
get free items from the mayor and build your weapons up very high
to get ready for the second village, Matataki Village. Note: This
will take some time, but is worth the effort.
When you get low on health and your sword is about to break, from
the Divine Beast Cave go to the mayor's house in Norune village.
He will give you some items to help you. When you build the hag's
house she will store items for you. Get the items from the mayor
and store it in the hag's house. Keep repeating this until you
are ready for Matataki village. Note: If you build Old Gaffer's
Buggy then you cannot get any more items from the mayor.
Early guns
When you reach Yellow Drops and are told about the
Moon Sea, you can shop at the store. You can buy Osmand's guns
before you even get Osmand as an ally. You will not have to waste
more time going all the way back and buying them. You can buy
a "Snail" and a "Jakal".
Big chests
When you see a big chest, walk up to it and force it
open. When you guess the trap, it is the next one down from what
the last chest was. If you guess wrong, look at the bottom of
the screen and it will say what the trap was. Walk up to it again
and when it asks you to guess, guess what it said at the bottom.
When you open a big treasure chest, guess wrong, and the trap
is explosion, run away as soon as it happens and you will take
no damage.
Back areas
When you first complete a dungeon, play through it
a second time and try and get "Special Keys". These
keys provide access to "back areas" which have more
difficult monsters in them, but the have really good items. Since
you have played through the dungeon once, the difficult monsters
will be easier to defeat. This is the easiest way to get gems.
The key changes in each town/zone.
Building the Moon Factory
Look on page 34 in the instruction manual for a picture
of how your completed Mecha should look like. Building it otherwise
will not let you advance through the story.
