Nereid's Labyrinth
Use the following trick to unlock Nereid's Labyrinth
without playing twice: This method poses no risk of file corruption
and no need for any file manipulation. After doing the six elemental
pillars in Shizel's Castle and activating the lift, enter but
do not go any further in the dungeon other than the first screen.
It looks like a purple stairway. Simply leave Shizel's dungeon
the way you entered and your game will be in Continue+ mode.
Quick recovery
If someone in your party falls during a battle, have
that character use an item. The sequence of them using the item
will take up the time normally wasted on his or her recovery.
Manual control
To get manual control for your character, talk to the
monk in the third room from the left in Regulus Dojo. Tell him
that you like to fight in manual mode and he will give you the
ability to use manual control. Press [Select] during battle
to switch to different modes, or access the skills menu and change
to manual mode.
Indignation extension
There is a rather fun "extension" to Indignation.
It can only be executed against Sekundes apparently, and only
when he is at 1/2 hp in normal mode, 1/3 hp in hard, and 1/4 hp
in hardcore. You will know when it is done correctly when whoever
is using Indignation says "Heaven's Light, Shine!".
This will activate it.
Cheap inn
If you do not stay at an Inn for the entire game it
will always cost 10 gold.

Power up spells
When casting spells with Kelee, Max, and Maredy, look
down next to the Characters Health and TP to find a mini-D-Pad.
Hit the direction the mini D-Pad indicates before your character
casts the spell to get a more powerful version of it. Note: While
other characters are casting spells, you will not be able to enter
any of the commands.
Farah's Flame Dance
You need to have Deadly Force to do this trick. As
you hit the enemy with Deadly Force. the screen will turn black
and the background music will stop. While the screen is still
black, run to your opponent and punch it two times. Then, perform
a rising skill (either Rising Dragon Strike, Swallow Dance, or
Super Swallow Dance) and link it with a diving skill (either Death
Blossom, Eagle Dive or Eagle Rage). The screen should remain black
while doing this. If the diving skill hits the enemy and it is
still alive, you should successfully do Farah's Flame Dance.
Easy Jini
When you're at Jini's (City Of Joy, GPS 35,14) Auction
House, make sure to still have Aifread's Hat in your list of items.
Do not sell it at any cost. The usual yield at a regular store
for the Aifread's Hat is not that great. However, if you were
to enter it in the auctions at the Auction House, you can get
over 200 Jini for it. That should be more than enough for retries
at both the gambling house with Reid as well as the dance contest
with Meredy.
Follow the "Ogre Sword" hint to receive the 200,000+
Jini from the auction house.
Getting the Aibird
After returning to Inferia, go to Aifread's Tomb (88,63);
complete the puzzles to get the Sphere of Light. Then at Shizel's
Castle, when you find the elevator, go up and locate the Sphere
of Darkness. Return to the Relay Point, and inside the Conversion
Dock put both Spheres next to the Aifread Statue to get the Aibird.
Once you get the Aibird, talk to Keele and he will tell you that
there is an island south of Morle (Inferia). The Glimmer Spire
(107,22) is located on this island. You must reach the top floor
and defeat Valkyrie in order to get the S.D. Sword at Celestia
Pirate's Hideout #1 (55,11). The S.D. is certainly not a common
sword -- it cannot be equipped but summons Destiny every 30 minutes
of game play. The Craymel Hot Spring(208,108) can be reached to
complete the Rasheans's Elder side quest. Also at Celestia, you
can find the Katz Village(120,109).
Quick stop for the Aibird
The Aibird normally stops slowly, making it difficult
to put in the exact position intended for landing. When you want
to stop, tap [Circle] so the Aibird moves very slightly backwards.
You will be at a complete stop in less than half a second.
Getting Maxwell
After returning to Inferia, go to Farlos Sanctuary
(93,110) and check behind the altar.
To get Maxwell easier, when you have the Seyfert Key, go to Seyfert's
Church. Go behind the man, then open the doors. Go to Shizel's
castle and get Sekundes (Time Craymel). Return to Seyfert's church
and battle Maxwell. Use "Distortion" from Sekundes and
every time he will get hit for 5,000.
Getting S.D. (Summon Destiny)
Note: Aibird and Aifish are required for this. Look
on the Inferia map and find Morle. Go to it, and once you find
it, go south to an island that is completely blocked by mountains.
This is where you need Aibird. Fly over it to find what appears
to be a spire/tower. Land and go inside. Complete the puzzles
and get to the top. This thing called Valkyrie will apear. She
will challenge Reid and you will fight. When you defeat her, she
will give you a key called "S.D.". Take the treasures
and leave. Go to Celestia. This is where you will need Aifish.
Go underwater and find hideout 1. The key "S.D." will
start reacting and you will get it. You can summon it every thirty
minutes. It is a "Very Powerful" summon.
Eternal Sword
Use the following trick to get Reid's most powerful
sword (more powerful than the Last Fencer). Go to Inferia City
and finish the side quest with the old man's lost Grip Sword to
receive the Smash Cape. Then, go inside the stadium and participate
in the tournament. You must win the City Championship, National
Championship, and World Championship. Immediately after winning
the World Championship, a person named Cress will challenge you.
It is a very tough one-on-one match with no items available. If
you lose to him, you can always go back for a rematch -- ask the
second lady at the left side counter. A rematch with Cress is
free of charge. After you defeat Cress, you will receive the Eternal
Sword (with the Time Craymel as its attribute, unlike the Last
Fencer which has no attribute at all to any Craymel) and Cress'
Bandana (also has the Time Cramel's attribute).
Collector's Book
To get the Collector's Book, go to the second floor
of the elder's house in Rasheans. Examine the books and you will
"borrow" the Collector's Book. Using this, you can check
how many items you have gotten so far and your completion percentage.
Recover from Ultimate Identity Destroyer
If you are hit by the Ultimate Identity Destroyer at
the end of the game, rapidly hit [X], [Circle], and
[Square] until the attack completes. You should see the background
turn into psychedelic colors and Reid will perform the Ultimate
Identity Reviver. This will restore the entire party to full HP
and you will have seen the two best attacks in the game, and still
win.
Defeating Sekundes
Your party should be at level 70 or higher. Equip Reid
with Voltic Sword (Volt damage; Sekundes is weak against Volt),
Resist Ring and Fairie Ring, Gold Armor, and Cress Bandana. Your
Craymel Mages must have the all healing spells, Resurrection,
Holy Bliss, Holy Lance, and Indignation. You can also have Gnome's
power-ups such as Life Rescue and Mental Supply. When the battle
begins do not let Sekundes damage your Craymel Mages, especially
the one with the Healing and Resurection or Farah (another useful
healer and life giver). Beware if he is near them or is casting
Sekundes Laser. Your other Craymel Mage should cast Holy Bliss
on your party. Also, constantly hit him with Holy Lances. When
it hits, it will give time for others to heal and recover. Indignation
cast successfully is very strong, and it is also best used when
Sekundes' life is less than half. You will get a Derris Emblem
(+100 Accuracy) and a nice amount of experience points for defeating
him.
Make sure you are over level 70. Equip the Voltic Sword, Cress
Bandanna, Golden Armor, Beam Shield and any two accessories of
your choice. Be reasonable -- you can chose to equip Black Onyxes
on Reid until his health becomes 9999. Equip the other characters
with their best equipment. Make sure that you have Indignation,
Restore, Resurrection and a few other healing, offensive, and
defensive spells. It is best to have every spell. Also have Reid
learn Megasonic Thrust. Also make sure that you have a few Lemon,
Pine Gels, Life Bottles and an All-Divide. When the battle starts,
use the All-Divide. Your offense may be halved, but this is a
small price to pay compared to how much Sekundes's attack actually
drops. After that, attack relentlessly with Reid. Megasonic Thrust
can do about 2,000 damage and Indignation about 4,000 damage.
When your health is low, cast Restore or Nurse (you can choose
to use the Gels). If anyone dies, cast Resurrection or Farah's
Life (if available) or waste a Life Bottle. When his health is
below half (less than 100,000), cast Indignation. The caster should
say "Heaven Light, Shine" and you will see a short intermission
about the casting of the spell. When it is over, you should inflict
lots of damage on Sekundes.
