Hints
Easy Gald

Play it and choose easy for Apple Gels, normal for Life Bottles, or hard for Lemon Gels. You will get five of them if you win. You can do this as many times as desired. You can sell the Lemon Gels for 500 Gald at the shop above Emo-Katz. Play EB four times and win to get 20 Lemon Gelss and sell them to get lots of Gald.

In Tekkial'a at the earth temple at the bottom of the bridges, you will break and find treasures. At the bottom is a dragon creature. Each time you kill him you will get 10,000 Gald. He as 10,000 HP with an attack of 1200 and defense of about 400, However, he is easy to defeat with Raine.

Once you get Zelos into your party, flag him as the avatar (the person who walks around) by scrolling over his picture and pressing [X]. When Zelos talks to any female NPC (even shop owners), he will get free items or Gald. They will give you different items and different amounts of Gald each time you leave the city and return. Repeat this frequently to get good items. Note: They do not give Zelos weapons, armor, or accessories.

This can be done as early as possible in the game. When done early it is also good for experience. When you get to Ossa Trail, fight everything you can and use combos frequently. If you do well in the fight, you will get lots of Beast Fangs and Beast Hides, can be sold for 1,000 Gald each. Repeat this as many times as desired.

After you rebuild Luin, there will be a shop called "Fighting Spirit" All of the items there are like toys, but are all better than the items you probably have. Buy Sheena's weapon called "Money Bag" and equip it. Then, go to the dragon in the Temple Of Earth and fight it. When Sheena is in battle and you win, the Gald gets doubled because of her weapon.

Finding Lyla
If you go north from izoold without doing two things to get on the boat it will cause the boat to disappear. However, you are not stuck. You will find the girl again, but you must do other things first. This is also an opportunity to get Sheena. This will require a lot of leveling up, but is worth it. There are also two seals that can be opened. You must go to Himma and tell the woman that you are Sheena's friend. This will get you started towards getting Sheena. Luin will be attacked by the Desians and you must save it. You must save the girl being sacrificed to the fake Wind Guardian. Then, open that seal. You can also go through the Tower Of Mana and release a seal. After doing everything that you can, you should have Sheena in your party and the boat and Lyla will be in Izoold, ready for you. You much more powerful than you actually need to be to do everything needed in Palmacosta and the surrounding areas.

Fight a Bacura

Sometimes it will be a couple of Stone Golems with some other monsters, and sometimes it will be a Bacura. Just run away if it is not a Bacura and re-encounter it. The Bacura has 255 HP and you can only drain one. Also, it disappears after thirty seconds.

Fight against Seles

Curry Recipe

Lloyd will then appear as the on-screen character. Follow through the sequence that plays and she will teach you the recipe for curry, a dish that you cannot learn from the Wonder Chef. If this does not work the first time, then go back a short time later.

Devils Arms
The Devils Arms are a set of cursed weapons you can find that appear to have very little attack power. However, after you defeat Abyssion in the Darkness Temple, try equipping them to defeat a monster. Each time they are used to kill a monster, they will become more powerful. These weapons can become the most powerful weapons in the game if you have the patience to battle with them.

Falcon Crest
When Lloyd is low on health (health is in the red) and has the weapon "Material Blade" equipped, he can use a secret tech called the Falcon Crest. To use this tech, press [X] + [A] + [B]. Note: Lloyd must have the title "Eternal Swordsman" in use when attempting this tech.

Last Fencer
In order for this trick to work, you must have already fought Seles with Zelos, then have gone on to fight Zelos later in the Tower of Salvation. Go through the Advance Class battles again with Lloyd. After you have received your prizes, Seles will return to the Arena and try to take revenge for her brother's death. If you defeat her, you get another Last Fencer and another item. You may need to face her after already going through Vinheim and getting the Sacred Stone; or have obtained the Derris Emblem.

When you return, you will see that Sheena has been chosen for the next chief, and you will get Sheena's alternate chief costume.

Defeating the Dragon Knight
Use the following trick to defeat the Dragon Knight in advanced mode in the coliseum with Genis and Raine. Wait until it flies up into the air, then run underneath it. If you are lucky, the dragon will land on you, and you should be able to cast spells without having to worry about getting hit. Try to use spells that do not make the enemy move to the left or right (Photon with Raine; Lightning, Thunder Blade, or Indignation with Genis). This could also be applied to Zelos or Kratos if you are having trouble with them.

Combos
In a fight, press [Forward] + [A], [Forward] + [A], [A], "Sword Rain: Alpha" (Sword Rain, Sonic Sword Rain, Sword Rain: Beta may also work), "Hunting Beast" (Raging Best also works). In this combo, you will stun the enemy, (or make the enemy fall and use time to stand up ), which gives you time to give to do extra damaging attacks to them and is also a good opportunity for spellcasters to cast quickly without being disturbed.

With Lloyd, press [Forward] + [A], [Forward] + [A], [Forward] + [A], "Swords Rain", "Psi Tempest" (while holding [Forward] ), turn around (for a good position), "Rising Falcon". This results in 12 hits, RF is the finisher.

With Lloyd, press [Forward] + [A], [Forward] + [A], [A], "Sword Rain", "Sonic Thrust", "Tempest", "Fierce Demon Fang", "Tempest Thrust" or "Tempest Beast" or "Hunting Beast". Note : Try equipping the Sardonyx (from Volt) or equip Shiden (sold in weapon shop in Mizuho) to make the Sonic Thrust into Lighting Thrust, giving extra damage once you execute Sonic thrust in the combo. Also, instead of using Tempest, you can also use Tiger Blade, and if you equip Sardonyx or Shiden it will turn to Lighting Tiger Blade for even more damage. Level 1 techs may be bad for damage, but the best tech for opening a combo or chaining from level 1 to level 3 techs, plus the level 1 techs contains most of Lloyd's special techs.

Recommended level
When fighting through the first ruins towards the Seal of Fire, it is recommended that you get to at least level 13 for each character. If not, the battle with the Boss will either require an absolutely brilliant strategy or result in the death of your party. Also, make sure that Genis has his skills set to only Aqua Edge and/or Icicle if you have obtained that skill; otherwise he will waste TP using skills that will cause very little damage for the cost.

Getting into the Wind Seal Room
In Asgard, when sealing the Wind Seal, it is difficult to get into the Seal Room. Light the two lamps next to each other to open a secret room, which has mini pinwheels in the room. Around the entire Asgard ruin there are tablets on the walls, but you cannot read them unless you light the lamps around the tablets, with the original form of the Sorcerer's Ring. When you read the two of them that say something about jewels, and the one that says the cycle of power through the Earth, Gods, and Wind Spirit, it is easy to get into the Seal Room. The Ruby is the red pinwheel, the Pearl is the white pin wheel, the Topaz is the yellow pinwheel, the Wind Spirit is the blue pinwheel, and the Emerald is the green pin wheel.

In order to get into the Wind Seal room, you must make the pinwheels spin in the correct order. The order is red, yellow, green, white, blue. After spinning it in the correct order, a door in the back will open.

Visiting Corrine after death
After you defeat the Dark Dragon and go through the doors in Mithos' Castle, go back to Iselia. There will be a little skit with Sheena hearing Corrin's voice. After that, go to the Temple of Martel. Go to where you first met the Angel. You will see Corrine in his true form (Verius), but you will not be able to summon him.

Arena weapons
When you reach Mithos' Castle, defeat the Dark Dragon and open the door. Go through the door, but do not go through the teleporter to Mithos. After you have opened the door and gone through it, go back to Meltokio. Go to the arena and fight in advanced mode with any character to get a personal arena weapon for that person.
