You can increase his chances of getting good items (for example, Energy Tablets, Hourglass, Rune Bottle) by equipping him with two Rabbit's Feet. These can be bought in Luin.

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.
Defeating the Phantom Knight
To defeat Phantom Knight, a powerful monster in Derris-Kharlan, you must equip the Diamond, which you get from Origin, to your lead character. After this is done, only your lead character can cause melee damage to it, unless you use a union attack against it and it will take damage.
Combos
In a fight, press [Forward] + [X], [Forward] + [X], [X], [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] + [X], [Forward] + [X], [Forward] + [X], [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] + [X], [Forward] + [X], [X], [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.
With Lloyd, press [X] + [Forward], [X], [X], [Super Sonic], [Sword Rain], [Sword Rain], [Tiger Blade]. This results in a combo of at least 20 hits if you can push the enemy up against the edge of the field.
Once your gauge is full, choose a target and use Lloyd's basic attack 3x combo and follow up with Sword Rain. As soon as the last strike hits, unleash the Unison attack. To make it easy, have all their abilities set to the same direction. By this time you will already have twelve hits from Lloyd alone and any other hits from your allies. After your team unleashes all their attacks, Genis and Raine unleash a Duo attack called Prism Stars that hits thirty times. It is possible to get a max combo of 89 with this move.
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.
Recommended party
It does not matter if you have Kratos or Zelos. They are not really different. They have the exact moves. They also both have Judgment. Zelos is recommended, because he will be able to have his strongest weapon, the Last Fencer. The party should have Lloyd with the weapon that you get from the last sword dancer, Colette with the Angel's Halo her arena weapon. Note: Use Colette, as the enemy you are going to fight is very big. She can do her unison with Lloyd's Stardust Rain. This can result in 112 hits if used on the biggest enemy in the game, The Living Armor. To use it, Colette must use Hammer Rain and Lloyd Sword Rain: Alpha. If you are fighting a small Boss, have Genis and his arena weapon instead, Zelos and his best weapon Last Fencer, and if he has Judgment, use it for unison. His Judgment is his best attack. If you used it at least fifty times, he can randomly use Angel's Judgment (a very strong Judgment that hits over thirty times before an angel appears and does about fifteen more hits; Kratos can also do this). Raine is a must have for any party. She is the best healer in the game.In the unison, have her use Ray if Genis is there. If not, get her to the S side and have her learn Holy Lance.
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.
Fighting Zelos
Get to the poing you are in Flanoir and Lloyd is talking to Zelos when your about to leave (when you are there to see the doctor). If Lloyds says "Can I trust you?" you will have to fight Zelos. However if Lloyd says "I trust you", then you will not. An easy way to decide is to save the game before you enter Flanoir. Go through the scenes, then see what Lloyd says. It may differ on who you talk to the night before, and it changes occasionally when you talk to Zelos.
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.
Bigger enemies
After returning from the scene where you save Genis and Raine from the soldiers by the Tethe'alla Bridge, you can go to Meltokio. However, you cannot go through the gate. Go into the Meltokio Sewer. Eventually you will see the pedestal that allows you to change the Sorcerer's Ring function. Change the function and use the Sorcerer's Ring to shrink yourself. Then, get into a battle. The rats will be bigger, and will deal more damage. Note: It should still work if you have already completed the sewer.
