Easy money
Play a game of cards with Macho. This is very easy, you can simply guess if the next card will be larger in value than the previous card he revealed. It costs 100 Drans per game, and you will double your earnings if you make a correct guess. If you manage to defeat Macho ten times in a row within a single game, your earnings will be 102,400 Drans. After this, Macho will not play with you anymore.

There are 500 Drans Located in Steamwood near the location where you saved Acrobat Sausages. Take the Drans, then exit Steamwood. Return to acquire the Drans again, then repeat.

Start a new game and get to the Spiral Tower to get Lumina. Note: Do not get Lumina yet. On your way up you will encounter three bats that try to attack you by going in a line. Just wait and slash them to get hearts and money. Keep waiting for a group of bats in that area. Keep slashing them as many times as desired.

Defeating Macho in cards is not by luck. If he says a number higher than 7, say lower and vice versa. Do not play him until the tenth round. Keep playing until the ninth round and you can continue playing him to get fast money.

After going down the river on the raft the first time and getting the bracelet, you can go back up to the raft. However, instead of going all the way up, it will be waiting at the waterfall.

Get to the town that is slightly after the beginning. There is a path that goes to a mountain in the upper part of the town. Go on that path and travel down a short distance until you see someone that resembles a witch. Defeat her and take the money. Go back into the town and repeat this as many times as desired.

Dark Lumina 3 action figure
To be able to buy the Dark Lumina 3 action figure, you must get all of the other action figures. Once this is done, wait until the next morning. When the shop first opens, enter and go to the special figures section. You should now be able to buy the D-Lumina 3 action figure.

Alternate way to get Lumina sword
When you are on the top of Spiral Tower, there is a barrier blocking the Lumina sword. The only way to get it is by stepping on a panel that opens it. Pick up an enemy, then stand on the panel with him in your hands. Have another enemy hurt you. You will drop him, and for a short time he will be laying on the panel, giving you a good chance to get the sword and run.

Yet another way to get Lumina is to stand on the barrier and have a man approach you. Then, throw Fusion into him as if you were about to assimilate him. Do not assimilate him. Do not press [Square] and run to the barrier. The barrier does not open while Fusion is in him. Wait by the barrier until he is mobile again. It will give you just enough time to grab Lumina.

Plant regeneration
Use the Water Scroll on the plant enemies. Most of the plants in the game will grow into a larger size if watered.

Defeating Skullpion
Hold [R1] until the special is all they way up while having the earth scroll on. Do this while the bucket or rock is hanging above him, and when he is shooting out of his mouth. Note: Dodge his shots before you do anything.

Counterattack using Lumina
Go up to any enemy and hold [R1]. When Musashi is charging up the gauge, he can defend himself from frontal attacks. When he is defending and someone attacks, you will see the front of Musashi emit a spark. Immediately after seeing this, quickly press [Triangle] and counter.

Swing on pipes
Go into the village from the Thirstquencher Empire Castle. Look around where the mayor's house is located. It has a spinning chicken on top. Find some water pipes and Musashi will grab them and start doing backflips. Press [X] to release from the pipes.

Shrink the dog
In the village, after you defeat the Steamknight talk to the mayor. He will ask you to rescue the dog. Say "Yes". Go to the mountains where the dog is located. Find one of the floating "ghosts". Hold [R1] until the gauge is full, then rapidly press [Square] until you learn Shrink. Then, go to the dog and press [Circle]. You will shrink the dog. Then, step on the dog to flatten it. Note: This will not kill the dog.

Joke names
Notice that the two main empires, the Allucaneet and Thirstquencher Empire, are plays on "all you can eat" (referring to food) and "thirst quencher" (referring to drinks).

People that Musashi must save from Bincho Fields mostly have funny names that refer to foods, such as Acrobat Sausages, Knight Lardwick, Cook Chiffonade, Princess Fillet, etc. Also, the name Thirstquencher Empire refers to beverages. The same things also happen on Thirstquencher's people, such as Capricciola, Soda Fountain, etc.

Glitch: Alchemist Leanman
In the opening sequence the game shows the entire group, Butler Livers, Princess Fillet, Scribe Shanky, Steward Ribson, and Alchemist Leanman, Alchemist Leanman is shown trying to help Fillet with his Alchemy spells to enable a summon for the great Brave Fencer Musashi. However, how can Alchemist Leanman be there when he is supposed to be captured?

Glitch: Dog name
After you rescue Leno, talk to Mint. Even though the town dog is Chappy to everyone, she calls him Leno, not Chappy as Tim does.

Glitch: Pass through people
Normally you need to stand in front of someone to talk to them. Press [Square] while behind them to go straight through them.

Glitch: Misspelling
When you learn the Maid's Dashing Pierce she will apologize by saying "exuse me" instead of "excuse me".
