Ok, here is an easy way to defeat an enemy. But it reqires more than one people in you're group. When attacking someone, jump to it's back so it has no way of defending that. So he'll be attacked from the back, with no way to guard it, and from the front. Hope this helps!

rating: --- link directly to this cheatFighting Abyssion

After you've assembled the Devil's Arms and have traveled to the depths of the Shadow Temple, you may want a little help with fighting Abyssion. Here's a quick runthrough.

BOSS: Abyssion - Strengths: None
HP: 120000 - EXP: 8000
TP: 8200 - Gald: 6800
Weaknesses: None
Items: Hyper Gauntlet, Jet Boots
Techs: Tiger Rage, Raging Beast, Double Demon Fang, Ring Cyclone, Swallow Dance, S. Lightning Blade, Mass Devastation, Victory Light Spear, Flame Lance, Explosion, Gravity Well, Indignation Judgment, Meteor Storm, Prism Sword, Indignation, Spread, Thunder Arrow

Just imagine that you could combine all your fighters into one god character with all the combined Techs. Then multiply that character's
power by 2, and you'll have Abyssion. He loves using Lloyd's Techs to beat the crap out of you; don't be surprised if you've been knocked out of 5000 HP in a 5 hit combo. You better have Raine in your party for Resurrection and First Aid type spells, and be fully stocked in everything. To the extreme, Guard Bottles are a help. You could start
the battle with Field Barrier, and then get Genis to provide magical assistance. Another strong backup melee character should be Presea, Zelos, or Kratos. Try your best to keep him away from the backfield characters, and use items sparingly. You'll run out quickly if you keep using them.

When Abyssion reaches Over Limit, there's a chance he'll use two devastating spells to kill your party: Indignation Judgment followed by Meteor Storm. Maybe you haven't seen either, but Indignation Judg. will almost certainly KO at least one character, while Meteor Storm will
pick up the slack and try to take out the rest. Use Energy Tablets and Life Bottles to try to recover. Otherwise, he'll rip through your
weakness. Fortunately, he can't summon anything--otherwise you'd be screwed. If you die early on, your strategy isn't working. Try something new or level up more. Continue until you can win. It is possible.

rating: --- link directly to this cheatFinding/Fighting Maxwell

Go behind the elder's house to a lone island with a graveyard; if you can't make it out, hover over Exire and looks for a long road to a lone grave. Equip your first four characters with an Opal, Garnet, Aquamarine, and a Ruby, and then examine the stone.

BOSS: Maxwell - Strengths: None
HP: 60000 - EXP: 10800
TP: 800 - Gald: 8250
Weaknesses: None
Items: Spirit Robe, Turquoise
Techs: Raging Mist, Gravity Well, Dreaded Wave, Meteor Storm

The only Tech you should worry about is Meteor Storm. If he uses it, use any Defense Tech you have three times to outlast it. Hopefully, not much damage will be dealt. Use Energy Tablets to recover after the blast. This shouldn't be so difficult; use three melee characters and a healer for best result. The melee characters can keep him staggering while the healer, obviously, heals the party.

Good Luck!

A lot of guides don't tell you where you can get food, so here is a quick briefing.

You can find food in Triet, Palmacosta, Asgard, Katz' Village, Sybak, Flanoir, Ozette (pre-destruction), and Lantheon Gorge.

Sybak generally holds the most food, so check there first.

Have Genis uses Indignation 50x and then when he goes into over limit mode, have him use it again. He'll cast Indignant Judgement. This attack causes Holy/Lightning damages. Tremendously powerful if Genis is at Lv.70, can cause up to 7000+ damage. Falcon's crest is still stronger in my opinion.

This is a great cheat that helps a lot. Go to the Temple of Darkness and have Colette in your party with the EX Skills Sharp-Eyed, Tough, and Dodge or Magical. Luck (for the combined EX Skill Item Finder) would be good too. Fight some monsters in the path in the lower level that leads to Shadow's seal. If you're lucky you'll get Sages from the Grave Robbers and Savory from the Druids. This is a good combination with getting Rune Bottles from the Undertakers in the forest that leads to Mizuho, because you can make them into Red Sage and Red Savory ( Red Sage +10% HP, Red Savory +10% TP). That quickly adds up because all my guys have 9999 HP and 999 TP.

The requirements for Colette to use Holy Judgement:
- Use Holy Song more than 50 times
- Use Judgement more than 50 times

Holy Judgement is activated randomly by using Holy Song.

----------
Since it activates randomly, here is how to activate Holy Judgement easily:
- Have the requirements listed above
- Start to cast Holy Song and look down the screen and check if the "TARGET" sign is on one of the character icons
- If "TARGET" sign is on, cancel the casting by pressing the X button

If the "TARGET" sign is not showing, continue casting Holy Song; Holy Judgement should then activate when the casting time is over without any distractions.

Use Colette and set an Angel Skill on the B button in the Tech Money.

Encounter an enemy(preferably a large single enemy, such as the dragon in the Earth Shrine)

During the battle, hold down X and press the A and B buttons alternately.
By this, there will be no gap after the regular attacks by canceling spell cast; therefore continue the counting the strikes of the regular attacks.

However, the enemy would forcefully be down by the 50th hit and the combo would end. Thus, you should combine U. Attacks before the 50 hit to get a high combo record.


This cheat can also possibly be used on Kratos and Zelos.

Win Advanced Class with the party to get an Extreme Symbol and then challenge the three characters in an exhibition match.

BOSS: Garr - Strengths: Earth, Lightning, Ice, Dark
HP: 20000 - EXP: 3200
TP: 150 - Gald: 4800
Weaknesses: None
Items: Mumbane
Techs: Gale, Hail, Decisive Slice, (Flare Bottle), (Hourglass)

BOSS: Farah Oersted - Strength: Fire
HP: 20000 - EXP: 3300
TP: 150 - Gald: 2800
Weaknesses: None
Items: Star Cloak
Techs: Palm Strike, Beast, Ground Breaker, Swallow Dance, Eagle Dive

BOSS: Meredy - Strengths: None
HP: 16000 - EXP: 2100
TP: 1450 - Gald: 2800
Weaknesses: None
Items: Krona Symbol
Techs: Indignation, Acid Rain, Barrier, Thunder Blade, Explosion, Absolute, Resurrection, Meteor Storm, Holy Lance, Eruption, Freeze Lancer

Normally, any one of these three could be a boss on their own; unfortunately, you have to face them in a three-on-three exhibition match. I'd recommend Lloyd and Raine and another good melee character. Hopefully you're at least Lv75 by now.

Go after Meredy first; her spell Techs are evil. Take a break from time to time to heal the other party members, but keep attacking her. After she dies, she'll auto-revive herself, so drain the last bit of her HP and then go after Farah.

Farah is a lot like a combination of Regal and Lloyd. She has a very strong Beast Tech (Ground Breaker) which delivers three Beasts in a row.
Try to make her stagger often and draw her attention away from the others.

Garr should be last on your list. By now, the words Gale and Hail must be very annoying. Attack fast and firmly--he will use items in this battle, including the devastating Hourglass, which stops time on your side of things for about 15 seconds. He can do a lot of damage in that time. Toward the end, he will start using Decisive Slice, very similar to Forcystus' "Down Burst" Tech. It's not much hassle to win though, so take all the shots you have.

Good luck with it. You'll get a nice amount of items when you win.

rating: --- link directly to this tip10x Exp Challenges

When you get to activate the 10x Exp mode, you may find yourself bored with beating bosses toward a later part of the game.

Make them interesting by doing one or more of the following:

1. Fighting them with Lloyd only (switch everyone else to Hold Position).

2. Don't use any items.

3. Use only the most basic equipment.

A prime example of this is that while fighting Kratos for the third time, it was very challenging to fight him with no items and only a Wooden Blade. I was around L160 or so.

Go to the Arena in Meltokio and beat all difficulties. Then replay Advance and Seles (Zelos' sister) should challenge you. Beat her and she drops elemental circet and the Last Fencer.

no ones done this.

I'm going to tell you how to find the best weapons, and defeat Abbysion, (since theres one strategy up)

Lloyd: Most people know his best weapons the kusangi blade, defeat all sword dancers (theres 3) Or after getting the derris emblem, go to the colosium and beat all three levels with lloyd, and you'll get valkery blade or something, thats his best THRUST weapon.

Genis: I'm sorry, this is the only one i don't know how to get. It's called One World.

Raine: Lets see you get this one. You have to beat advanced class. I haven't done it yet. Good luck.

Regal: After getting derris emblem, go to Meltokio, and beside the castle, there will be two people arguing, one being the Wonder Chef!!!!!!!! Anyways, you will have a cook off blah blah blah. After that, go into the castle into the dungeon, and put regal as your avatar. Walk up the cells and down the other side, one cell contains a prisoner, he will talk about a guy in hot spring, regal will ask to go there. accept. Go the hot springs, (above the continent with meltokio) Go past and talk to the old man, talk to him again and you'll get DYNAST! Assuming your lvl 80 and up. so train till regals lvl 80.

Presea: When your level 80 or above with presea, you need the derris emblem, again. Then go to destroyed ozette, talk to the guy in front of preseas daddy's grave. and talk again (i think) and he'll give you the gaia clever. WOW! most powerful set stat weapon in the game. 999 atk.

Sheena: Her colosium weapon, so beat advanced on colosium.

Zelos/Kratos: When you beat advanced class, you'll get a bonus match with Seles, and shes tough, you cant use items. Or if you fail, you can face her with any character. She will give you Last Fencer.

Colette: Another colosium weapon.

now for abbysion guide:

Hes anything BUT easy. Suggestion for players
Presea: lvl 80 Lloyd: lvl 81 Raine: lvl 79/78 Regal: lvl 81 Or Take regal out, and add genis lvl 79.

So you facing the evil man who decieved you, lets go all out attack right? err, wrong, hes very tough, toughest in the game, IGNORE MY NAME! ITS NOT TRUE! He will start by running at you and attacking then teleport, he will use everyones attacks, so really irritating, he is. So have gels, bottles and equip everyone with stuff that increase elemental or physical attacks, it helps a lot. Start by obviously sending raine to nurse, revitalize, resurection, field barrier, Accutness, healing circle and finally recover. No attack spells. Unison attack suggestion, Raine: Photon, Lloyd: Omega Tempest or Psi Tempest Presea: Eternal Damnation Regal: Any attack. And you'll get a bonus attack Raine and Lloyds photon tempest. or if you have genis instead. Lloyd: hunting beast/ rising falcon Raine: Ray Genis: Cyclone or Tidal Wave or Dreaded Wave or Indignation (most suggested) Or Ground Dasher. Presea: Eternal Damnation. Bonus will be Raine and Genis's PRISM STARS! Most pwerful unison bonus in my oppinion. Its light elemental so that works well. Now just let Lloyd use rising falcon and hunting beast. And presea: all her best techs. He should eventually, just when he gets into overlimit, worry, he'll cast many high level spells and Indination Judgement and meteor Storm. And thats my suggestion.

When I first tried out the collision with other characters I found it hard, but I figured out techniques to make it easier for some characters. Here are a few:

Presea - Jump behind the enemy and give it a few axe swings then use beast, for me it takes of about 1500 HP. If you are successful with perfoming beast it will knock the enemy over, which can buy you time to retreat then attack again.

Sheena - She has low defense and HP. I tended to use her speed to my advantage by running and jumping over the enemy, I then attacked the enemy and used Demon seal, this knocks the enemy over, repeat this process as it can be reliable as if it is performed well, you can beat any battle without losing any HP!

Good luck, when I figure more out, I'll submit them. =)

In Flanoir, if you have the Evil Eye Chakram, a man will say that you have a Devil's arm and that he is cursed by them. He says that there are nine and that if you get them all he will be cured and gives you Nebilim and Neblim's key. If you find a dark coloured chest (kind of purplish) you can now open it with the key. Once you find all of them and give it to the man, he will turn into a monster (120,000 HP) and if you beat him, the Devils Arms will now gain power from every monster you kill with them, making them the best weapons in the game!

Now fight some enemy that gives you Rune Bottles when using stealing abilities. (Undertaker,Chimaera)Now steal all Rune bottles from the battle and run. Repeat till satisfied. Don't sell the rune bottles,instead buy Talisman in Flanoir for 8000 gald. Turn to Blue talisman using the Rune Bottle and sell for a whopping 20.000 Gald!!! Now buy two,turn em to blue ones,sell etc etc. I was able to afford 3 additional Black Onyxes right after Dragon Nest.

An easy way to obtain a large amount of Gald and accumulate millions over an hour or so is by the Dragon in the Temple of Earth. This will take less time if you have the characters' strongest weapons or powered-up Devil's Arms. Equip your fighting party with their strongest weapons they have, set the difficulty to "Normal" (so battling doesn't take forever), and equip one person with the Blue Sephira. More than one Sephira or Blue Sephira does not add on its effect, so don't waste your time. Now you travel to the Temple of Earth and fight/kill the Dragon, exit through the northern door, go back in, and repeat.

Through this method, I got over seven million Gald in two-three hours. You also get decent GRADE (1-4) and EXP if you fight well and fast.

in order to get Genis' ultimate weapon, One World, you have to beat all three levels of Red Light/Green light after seeing the scene behind vinheim's door but before fighting the final boss.

Arena tips (advanced level)
normally the game will not let you change what your chara has equipped during an arena fight, but it will allow it if you do it immediately after the fight has started.

if you are trying to put Genis and or Raine through the arena, i suggest that they have both speed cast and spell save alone with a holy symbol or holy ring. for the 1st fight, take out the soldier first and then go for the dragon. if your HP starts getting low, hold down the block button and let the holy symbol do its thing before trying to attack again. (this is very time consuming but it works) for the second fight, you should have time to cast a spell or two if you get as far away from the opponent as possible. 3rd fight is fairly easy, as if you stay underneath the drake, it can only hurt you via spark wave which it doesn't use a whole lot, so you should be fine there. 4th fight: back away and cast spells and block. 5th: block until he flies into the air, then go under him and start casting spells. another thing, make sure you have some good recipes so that you can cook in between fights and restore your HP/TP. (side note: i was about to put all my charas through the arena w/ levels around 80-95, i also had their stats close to 9999/999 with the help of sages and savories attained w/ Colette's item finder in the darkness temple)

I found this very helpful. It's pretty simple too. Ok first of all, have Colette equip the EX gems Tough and Sharp-eyed. This increases the chance of finding items after battle. Trust me, you'll need this. Then go to Torent Forest and battle the monsters. The 2 you're looking for are the Carnivorous plantdrops Red Sage- increase max HP by 10%) and Alraunedrops Red Savory- increases max TP by 10%). If you encounter them, fight and with a little bit of luck, you'll get the 2 items you need and if you don't encounter them, just escape and try again. I did this for awhile and all my characters with the exception of Genis have 9999 HP and everyone has 999 TP. I realize you could use the Moonstone and Black Onyx, but if you want to equip something besides those 2, eg. Holy Symbol, and still have max HP or TP, then it's a really good thing. Or maybe you just don't want to level up to 150 or 200 to get max HP and TP.

rating: --- link directly to this tipHelpful elemental stuff

It should probably be obvious that equipping a character with an item that has a defense from an element causes attacks / spells of that element to do reduced damage. But did you know that this effect is cumulative? Equipping any character with at least 3 items with a defense to a particular element (particularly after obtaining the Star set which has varied resistances to elements including Fire, Light, and Dark) will cause damage from that element to be completely negated. This means that not only will your character receive no damage, they won't even stagger! And as a bonus, the character still gets closer to Overlimit from every one of these negated hits. This information is particularly useful for fights that you can actually apply it (aka not early into the game), in my case, I beat Abbysion and Maxwell back to back with all my characters in the 70s, on hard mode, without stopping to heal OR restock items in between! This was all thanks to Lloyd's immunity to Fire, since Abbyssion will target Lloyd 90% of the time if he's alive for most of the battle, and every time he cast Explosion or Flame Lance I could get in a good 20 hits, and a few times during the battle I used this window of opportunity to unleash Prism Stars. The helpfulness against Maxwell was reduced, but at least twice allowed Lloyd to live through a Raging Mist for enough time to be healed by Raine. And this is only the beginning of these possibilities. You can make the gems given by the Summon Spirits much more useful applying this, and Sheena's later weapons offer natural resistances. The Elemental Circlet and Spirit Robe also help. And having 2 resistances equipped isn't a waste, you still reduce much more damage than you would with just one. And thus my ranting ends. Have fun with this! Ciao.
