Short elevator rides
When in the Tower of Lezard Valeth, you can shorten
the time the elevator moves from point A to B by opening and then
closing the menu or map screens. You can avoid battling the monsters
that ride the elevators by using this trick.
Flame Jewel locations
You need Flame Jewels to access special rooms in the
Seraphic Gate. In them, you can find the best equipment and the
secret characters. There are eight special rooms, meaning you
need eight Flame Jewels. They can be found in the following locations.
Note: Flame Jewels are only available in hard mode.
Salerno Academy
Dark Tower of Xervah
Citadel of Flame
Sunken Shrine
Tombs of Amenti (two Flame Jewels)
Arianrod Labyrinth

Items from the Einjerjar
Once you have recruited the Einjerjar, some of them
have weapons or items in their respective cities that will help
you in your quest. The only stipulation to this, though, is if
you have already sent that character to Asgard, you cannot get
the items. The following is a list of items the Einjerjar will
give you:
Arngrim: Artolia - Arngrim's House - Dragon Slayer
Belenus: Lassen - Belenus' House - Asaka's Flower
Llewellyn: Crell Monfrange - Forest Meadow - Goddess Pendant
Kashell: Camille Village - Cemetary - Vainslayer
Janus: Crell Monfrange - Janus' House - Raven Slayer
Nanami: Hai Lan - Dragon Shrine - Dragon's Bane
Yumei: Hai Lan - Hai Lan Coastline - Fragment of Lapis Gem
Mystina: Flenceburg - Mystina's House - Infinity Rod
Unlocking secret items and characters
Play in hard mode, and collect the eight Lotus Gems
there. Then play the Seraphic Gate. You have now the access to
the locked green doors, which is the location of the secret items
and characters.
Nibelungen Ring compensation
Keep the Nibelungen ring equipped in Valkyrie, and
then give her the Radiance Sword or the Crescent Arrow bow (they
can be obtained in the Divine Item menu)/ When she uses Nibelung
Valesti, you will have the complete attack sequence. Note: This
may also work with other divine weapons.
Easy experience
Once you are inside the Arkdain Ruins, defeat all the
enemies, exit the castle, but do not go to the world map. Enter
again and all the enemies (except the ones inside chests) will
return. This will help to raise level and skills. Note: If is
the first time you enter, you can also defeat the main Boss, but
do not open the artifact chest or the enemies will disappear.
There is an easy way to get over 250,000 experience points quickly
in Seraphic Gate It is very useful for first starting this area,
due to many characters being weak. Go to the upper right-most
room in the starting area and you should see a monster coming
down the platforms, and one on the upper right ledge not moving
until you approach it. Fight this enemy specifically. The fight
consists of two Ancient Golems. Have the following characters
in your party equpiped with these weapons: 1. Lenneth: Demon
Sword "Nefarious"; 2. Lucian: Gram; 3. Badrach: Razor
Shaft; and 4. anyone else. Make sure Badrach and Lucian have
Gem Of Creations and everyone has Level 8 Guts, Auto-Potion Level
8 Elixer 100%, and Angel Curios. You may want to give anyone with
low levels the Coin Of Fortune or Gem Of Learning. Attack in
this order: 1, 2, 4, 3, 1,(4), 2, 3,(4), 1, 2, 3 and do not use
any finishing moves. The fourth person usually may have only one
attack. You should be able to knock a lot of Crystals out of
both of the Ancient Golems with Badrach's and Lucian's third attacks.
Also due to their size, Badrach should be able to connect with
nearly every shot of his. When you leave the room the enemies
will regenerate. This is an excellent place to build up your party
for the later areas and harder enemies.
Defeating BloodBane
First, have Valkyrie equipped with the Gram Sword and
the Guts skill at level 8 (as so with all characters). Equip Lawfer
with the Dinosaur Spear, and equip a swordsman with the Valkyrie-Favor
Sword (preferably Lucian). Equip a high-level mage with the Wand
Of Apocalypse or any other unbreakable scepter. On the first turn,
cast Might Reinforce on your party, attack BloodBane, and do Lawfer's
special whenever you get the chance, and remember to keep your
ally's DME at a healthy level. During the next few rounds, pull
off as many big magic attacks and Justice Streams as possible.
Eventually BloodBane will fall, mostly in only four to six rounds.
Although he can heal himself if your characters are at high-levels,
this battle should be easy.
Glitch: Avoid environmental damage in Tombs
Glitch: Disappearing shields
Go to the Forest Of Woe in the first chapter in normal
mode. Equip the Bolt-Crossbow and get in a fight. When the message
"Purify Completion" appears, Valkyrie's shields will
disappear.
Glitch: Ice over door
After finishing the final Boss at the Seraphic Gate,
before exiting to the door leading to the title screen, fire some
ice at the top of the door. When you exit, the screen will change
to the congratulations sign, but you will still see the ice you
fired over the door.
Glitch: Misspelling
After finishing the final Boss at the Seraphic Gate;
when you exit to the door leading to the title screen, instead
of "Congratulations", the word "Congratulation"
appears.
