Continue+:
Save the game after completing it. Restart with theold data and you will have access to the hardcore difficulty level.On the Orbus Barrier, you will find a new dungeon, Neired's Labyrinth.On each level you can use only one character and can only useitems in battle.

Hint: Nereid's Labyrinth:
Use the following trick to unlock Nereid's Labyrinthwithout playing twice: This method poses no risk of file corruptionand no need for any file manipulation. After doing the six elementalpillars in Shizel's Castle and activating the lift, enter butdo not go any further in the dungeon other than the first screen.It looks like a purple stairway. Simply leave Shizel's dungeonthe way you entered and your game will be in Continue+ mode.

Hint: Quick recovery:
If someone in your party falls during a battle, havethat character use an item. The sequence of them using the itemwill take up the time normally wasted on his or her recovery.

Hint: Changing Luck:
The Luck status of all your characters changes everytime you camp or rest at an Inn. You can continuously camp andcheck your Luck until it reaches a desirable number. Dependingon your Luck, you might get attacked less frequently (even withHoly Bottle). You can also use your Luck to win the Whisk at thegambling house (better cards), as well as to receive a high bidon your auctions at Jini. You can raise your Luck even furtherwith the Rabbit's Foot accessory (+30 luck).

Hint: Manual control:
To get manual control for your character, talk to themonk in the third room from the left in Regulus Dojo. Tell himthat you like to fight in manual mode and he will give you theability to use manual control. Press Select during battleto switch to different modes, or access the skills menu and changeto manual mode.

Hint: Shizel's Castle:
When you are in Shizel's Castle on Disc 3, you haveto free the powers of your Craymels to use the telporter. In thefire trial, you have to get the fire ball to the door. To do thisyou must activate the object near the door and push the wallsdown as the ball travels. At the end, you must press the buttonto move the stand, and when the stand goes back to its originalposition, press the button again. In the water trial you mustget the three ice cubes into the hole. Push the upper-right handcube down, left, up, left, up. The middle cube is pushed againstthe left cube. Once the middle cube is against the left cube,push it down, right, up, left, up. Push the left cube up, left,up. It must be done in that order. The rest of the trials arefairly easy.

Hint: Indignation extension:
There is a rather fun "extension" to Indignation.It can only be executed against Sekundes apparently, and onlywhen he is at 1/2 hp in normal mode, 1/3 hp in hard, and 1/4 hpin hardcore. You will know when it is done correctly when whoeveris using Indignation says "Heaven's Light, Shine!".This will activate it.

Hint: Finding Pirate hideouts:
Instead of trying to find hideouts by the grid, justlook for schools of glowing fish. When you find them, there isalways a hideout or something you can go into nearby.

Hint: Cheap inn:
If you do not stay at an Inn for the entire game itwill always cost 10 gold.

Hint: Power up spells:
When casting spells with Kelee, Max, and Maredy, lookdown next to the Characters Health and TP to find a mini-D-Pad.Hit the direction the mini D-Pad indicates before your charactercasts the spell to get a more powerful version of it. Note: Whileother characters are casting spells, you will not be able to enterany of the commands.

Hint: Skill extensions:

Use Reid's Rising Phoenix Skill over 250 times. Then, press Skilljust when Reid passes through the foes to execute Burning Phoenix.

Use Reid's Omega Demon Chaos skill over 250 times. Then, pressSkill just when the eighth hit of Omega Demon Chaos landson the enemy to execute Dragon Demon Chaos.

Use Reid's Omega Seal over 50 times. Then, press Skillwhen Reid is about to slash the enemy to execute Quasi Seal.

Use Farah's Chi over 300 times. Then, when Farah is about to unleashthe concentrated energy, press Skill to execute MaximumBurst.

Use Farah's Eagle Rage and Chi over 250 times. Fatal Fury willappear in Farah's skills list.

Put Farah as the lead player for over 300 battles. Deadly Forcewill appear in Farah's skill list.

Hint: Farah's Flame Dance:
You need to have Deadly Force to do this trick. Asyou hit the enemy with Deadly Force. the screen will turn blackand the background music will stop. While the screen is stillblack, run to your opponent and punch it two times. Then, performa rising skill (either Rising Dragon Strike, Swallow Dance, orSuper Swallow Dance) and link it with a diving skill (either DeathBlossom, Eagle Dive or Eagle Rage). The screen should remain blackwhile doing this. If the diving skill hits the enemy and it isstill alive, you should successfully do Farah's Flame Dance.

Hint: Team skills:
Set the caster's magic (either Keele or Meredy) onthe shortcut button (either L2 or R2). Hold theshortcut button and after a moment and the word "READY"should appear on the caster's display at the bottom of the screen.If you would execute the attacker's skill (either Reid or Farah)and release the shortcut button with the caster's magic simultaneously(perfect timing required), you should hear a weird whistling sound.You should now be able to do a team skill. The team skills areas follows:

Flaming Sword: Keele's Fireball + Reid's Demon Hammer
Serpent Knuckle: Heal + Farah's Rising Dragon Strike
Lightning Strike: Thunder Blade + Farah's Twin Palm Strike
Earth Divide: Cyclone + Reid's Spiral Attack

Hint: Easy Jini:
When you're at Jini's (City Of Joy, GPS 35,14) AuctionHouse, 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 storefor the Aifread's Hat is not that great. However, if you wereto enter it in the auctions at the Auction House, you can getover 200 Jini for it. That should be more than enough for retriesat both the gambling house with Reid as well as the dance contestwith Meredy.

Follow the "Ogre Sword" hint to receive the 200,000+Jini from the auction house.

Hint: Avoid staying at Inn:
Wait at the overhead world map screen beside Jini untilit turns dark and the lights in the houses turn on. You can avoidpaying to stay at the Inn and instead arrive at the beautifulnight-life Jini is known for.

Hint: 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'sCastle, when you find the elevator, go up and locate the Sphereof Darkness. Return to the Relay Point, and inside the ConversionDock 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 thatthere is an island south of Morle (Inferia). The Glimmer Spire(107,22) is located on this island. You must reach the top floorand defeat Valkyrie in order to get the S.D. Sword at CelestiaPirate's Hideout #1 (55,11). The S.D. is certainly not a commonsword -- it cannot be equipped but summons Destiny every 30 minutesof game play. The Craymel Hot Spring(208,108) can be reached tocomplete the Rasheans's Elder side quest. Also at Celestia, youcan find the Katz Village(120,109).

Hint: Quick stop for the Aibird:
The Aibird normally stops slowly, making it difficultto put in the exact position intended for landing. When you wantto stop, tap Circle so the Aibird moves very slightly backwards.You will be at a complete stop in less than half a second.

Hint: 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'sChurch. Go behind the man, then open the doors. Go to Shizel'scastle and get Sekundes (Time Craymel). Return to Seyfert's churchand battle Maxwell. Use "Distortion" from Sekundes andevery time he will get hit for 5,000.

Hint: Getting Sekundes:
At Shizel's castle, find the first elevator. Choosedown, then make your way to the second elevator. Take it, waituntil the elevator stops, then take it again. Choose to go downand follow the path to find Sekundes the Craymel of Time. He willjoin you without a fight. If you wish to fight him, return andtake the challenge. He is very tough.

Hint: Getting S.D. (Summon Destiny):
Note: Aibird and Aifish are required for this. Lookon the Inferia map and find Morle. Go to it, and once you findit, go south to an island that is completely blocked by mountains.This is where you need Aibird. Fly over it to find what appearsto be a spire/tower. Land and go inside. Complete the puzzlesand get to the top. This thing called Valkyrie will apear. Shewill challenge Reid and you will fight. When you defeat her, shewill give you a key called "S.D.". Take the treasuresand leave. Go to Celestia. This is where you will need Aifish.Go underwater and find hideout 1. The key "S.D." willstart reacting and you will get it. You can summon it every thirtyminutes. It is a "Very Powerful" summon.

Hint: Recommended moves:
The best move in the game is the Omega Demon Slice.The Demon Slice hits 8 times. To learn the Omega Demon Slice,you have to use Demon Hammer hundreds of times.

Hint: Eternal Sword:
Use the following trick to get Reid's most powerfulsword (more powerful than the Last Fencer). Go to Inferia Cityand finish the side quest with the old man's lost Grip Sword toreceive the Smash Cape. Then, go inside the stadium and participatein the tournament. You must win the City Championship, NationalChampionship, and World Championship. Immediately after winningthe World Championship, a person named Cress will challenge you.It is a very tough one-on-one match with no items available. Ifyou lose to him, you can always go back for a rematch -- ask thesecond lady at the left side counter. A rematch with Cress isfree of charge. After you defeat Cress, you will receive the EternalSword (with the Time Craymel as its attribute, unlike the LastFencer which has no attribute at all to any Craymel) and Cress'Bandana (also has the Time Cramel's attribute).

Hint: Ogre Sword:
The best thing you can auction in Jini is the OgreSword. Although it does not give that high Jini, it is an itemthat is not rare -- you can buy it at Tinnisa weapon shop. Itis possible to push it to 200,000+ Jini. To do this, auction theOgre Sword then save the game. Raise the reserve price to anyof the three you like (maximum suggested). Exit the town, thenre-enter and sleep at the inn. Go to the auction hall and checkthe price of your item. If the auctioneer says something, it meansthat your item did not sell. Reload your game and resume fromthe "Raise the reserve price" step. If it fetched ahigher price and you want to make it higher, tell the auctioneerthat you would like to wait, save the game, then continue fromthat step. If the Jini value is enough for you, collect your earningsin exchange for the item (which is the Ogre Sword).

Hint: Collector's Book:
To get the Collector's Book, go to the second floorof the elder's house in Rasheans. Examine the books and you will"borrow" the Collector's Book. Using this, you can checkhow many items you have gotten so far and your completion percentage.

Hint: Monster Collection book:
After defeating Undine in Undine's Stream, return toMorle and talk to Professor Mazet. He will give you the MonsterCollection book. You can now check the stats of monsters you havepreviously fought.

Hint: Recover from Ultimate Identity Destroyer:
If you are hit by the Ultimate Identity Destroyer atthe end of the game, rapidly hit X, Circle, andSquare until the attack completes. You should see the backgroundturn into psychedelic colors and Reid will perform the UltimateIdentity Reviver. This will restore the entire party to full HPand you will have seen the two best attacks in the game, and stillwin.

Hint: Defeating Cress:
Raise Reid's level to 75 and arm him with the a GoldenHelmet, Golden Armor, Beam Shield, Faerie Ring, Holy Symbol andMystic Sword. Stay close to Cress. Do not distance yourself fromhim because he will use his Sonic Blade. Just keep close and givehim a thrust or a slash followed by a Spiral Attack to give himat least 500 damage. Repeat this strategy again until he is defeated.Keep close, attack continuously, and do not let him do any moves-- if that happens, try to get out of the way. Any moves he doesis very devastating.

Equip a weapon with a high piercing ability. If you are playinga Continue+ game with Neired's Labyrinth, you can get the Gungnirspear from the first or second floor. It has a Thrust of 999.Equip this, the Faerie Ring, Golden Armor (which reduces damagefrom his Phoenix attack), Beam Shield, and Gold Helmet. Also equipthe Double Spiral Attack Skill so you can use it easily. Whenyou fight Cress, run up to him and do two Thrust attacks, thenthe Double Spiral Attack skill. This will wipe a lot of HP fromCress quickly. Repeat this pattern until he is defeated.

You need the Last Fencer, Omega Shield, two Black Onyx, ElvenBoot, faerie Ring, and the skill Megasonic Thrust. First, equipthe shield, Last Fencer, and two Black Onyx. Run at Cress andslash him twice. Then, quickly do a Megasonic Thrust. This willdo roughly 500 damage. Run away or do it again quickly. If hedoes Sonic Blade, run away so that it cannot reach you. He willrealize he is out of range and start to walk towards you. Afterreaching 4000 damage, he will begin to use a time skill that does600 damage, makes you fall over without getting moved back, andis almost impossible to dodge. After going down below 1000 HP,when you next hit him, he will use a move called Albain Finality,This makes your HP go down to 1. Change your equipment to theFaerie Ring and Elven Boots while he is doing this. Then, counterit quickly using Aurora Wall and Aurora Slash. Note: If your HPdrops below 4500, take off the Black Onyx and put on the FaerieRing and Elven Boots to save TP and run away from him while yourHP regenerates.

This trick requires an average sword, an Omega Shield, about 7500HP, and the first two Aurora Skills. Before the battle, have MegasonicThrust on one of your skills (not a shortcut). Enter the battleand run at Cress. Use the skill directly next to him. Since youran at him, he will not hit you. Repeat this for awhile. Everytime you hit him it does about 750 damage, but he can hit youafterwards. The effect of the Omega Shield should help gain backmost of the life. Both of you will be worn down after awhile.He should be around 3000 HP and you should be able to use yourAurora skills and do about 3500 damage and defeat him.

To defeat Cress with Arche, you must fight him in hard or hardcoremode. It is far more difficult than if you fight him in normalmode because you will fight two enemies. To defeat them, you willneed lots of Luck (you and Reid), Pray level above 70, the skillsRising Phoenix, Omega Demon Chaos, Omega Tempest Strike, and MegasonicThrust, the Last Fencer, Omega Shield, your best armor, ReverseDoll (15), Resume Ring, and Faerie Ring. You can get Reverse Dolland Resume Ring in Jini auction hall by using Ogre Sword trickto get 200,000+ Jini. Note: First cook Tuna Paela (if you do nothave it, cook a recipe that increases your defense), then makesure you are at full HP/MP. Equip Reverse Doll and Faerie Ring.Set the battle in the customize menu into hard or hardcore. Whenthe battle starts, focus your attack to Arche first by using OmegaTempest Strike. Avoid Cress' attack and keep attacking Arche soshe cannot cast any magic. After you defeat her, focus your attackto Cress. If he use Dimensional Strike, quickly press X(2),Down + X + Megasonic Thrust after he uses that strike.If you are far from him, he will use Sonic Blade repeatedly. Whenthis happens, quickly jump and do Omega Tempest Strike to avoidhis Sinoc Blade and attack him. Remember to equip another ReverseDoll when it is used. If your MP has run out, change Faerie Ringinto Resume Ring and keep away from Cress to keep your HP whilerestoring your MP with the Resume Ring. If your Reverse Doll hasrun out, equip Resume Ring and Faerie Ring and Pray so ResumeRing can resurrect you from death.

Hint: Defeating Sekundes:
Your party should be at level 70 or higher. Equip Reidwith Voltic Sword (Volt damage; Sekundes is weak against Volt),Resist Ring and Fairie Ring, Gold Armor, and Cress Bandana. YourCraymel Mages must have the all healing spells, Resurrection,Holy Bliss, Holy Lance, and Indignation. You can also have Gnome'spower-ups such as Life Rescue and Mental Supply. When the battlebegins do not let Sekundes damage your Craymel Mages, especiallythe one with the Healing and Resurection or Farah (another usefulhealer and life giver). Beware if he is near them or is castingSekundes Laser. Your other Craymel Mage should cast Holy Blisson your party. Also, constantly hit him with Holy Lances. Whenit hits, it will give time for others to heal and recover. Indignationcast successfully is very strong, and it is also best used whenSekundes' life is less than half. You will get a Derris Emblem(+100 Accuracy) and a nice amount of experience points for defeatinghim.

Make sure you are over level 70. Equip the Voltic Sword, CressBandanna, Golden Armor, Beam Shield and any two accessories ofyour choice. Be reasonable -- you can chose to equip Black Onyxeson Reid until his health becomes 9999. Equip the other characterswith their best equipment. Make sure that you have Indignation,Restore, Resurrection and a few other healing, offensive, anddefensive spells. It is best to have every spell. Also have Reidlearn 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 asmall price to pay compared to how much Sekundes's attack actuallydrops. After that, attack relentlessly with Reid. Megasonic Thrustcan do about 2,000 damage and Indignation about 4,000 damage.When your health is low, cast Restore or Nurse (you can chooseto use the Gels). If anyone dies, cast Resurrection or Farah'sLife (if available) or waste a Life Bottle. When his health isbelow half (less than 100,000), cast Indignation. The caster shouldsay "Heaven Light, Shine" and you will see a short intermissionabout the casting of the spell. When it is over, you should inflictlots of damage on Sekundes.

Hint: Defeating Sylph, Volt, Efreet, Maxwell,and Celsius:
Some of the Greater Craymels are flying enemies. Todefeating them easier, have at least one person in your party"Attack Flying Enemy" in the strategy menu. This willprevent them from casting poweful spells such as Air Thrust andMeteor Storm. Preferably have Farah attack the flying Craymels,while having Keele or Meredy cast healing spells, such as Nurse.

Hint: Tales of Destinyand Tales of Phantasia references:
Cress Albein (the character you fight in the coliseumwas also the star of the first installment of the Destiny series,Tales of Phantasia (never released in North America). Anothercharacter from Tales of Phantasia makes an appearance isArche Klaine, the powerful half-elf. He appears if you fight Cressunder the hard or hardcore difficulty setting. Not only is thefight tougher with Cress being smarter, but now he has a magicianby his side casting spells like Indignation. Finally, for thoseof you who got the S.D. Sword and noticed how powerful it was,those are the main characters from Tales Of Destiny. Eachperson makes an appearance with their Swordian as well.
