Build the Township quickly
Sent in by Norfleet
If you want Township to be built right away after you paid your carpenter,
this is what you do. Go outside of the Town and use your Time Warp spell
about 4 or 5 times. When you enter the town again it will be complete.
Quick bait
Sent in by RRert
For some quick bait, dig with Mogu in front of the dragon stone above Auria.
StarrSD
Sent in by Thanatos
To obtain the StarrSD, a sword that only hero can use, you must fight
a random battle in Thvstmd on one of the bizarre random event faces,
continue to do this until it says you have received the starsword, besides
the dragonSD it is the strongest weapon in the game, it normally deals
from 120 to 160 damage a normal hit, and a special can go up to 390.
Healing yourself
Sent in by Lord Qaos
In the first castle, the one in Camelon, there are two fountains of
healing. To use them, walk up to them and push the button for "ok".
They not only heal you, but also cure your status. This is a great
place and time to build up your character since you can heal yourself
for free and don't need any antidotes to remove poison.
Water Jar in Romero
Sent in by Adam
To get the Water Jar in Romero, you first need to go inside during the
day and talk to a person about zombies who roam the town at night. Wait
until night, and go back in. You'll here different music. Go back out again
and come back in. Blue zombies will be roaming the town, and the only
real person from the town is and old women out in the graveyard. She
tells you this is the hour of the zombies. When she finishes talking,
she'll argue with you but her zombie husband cuts her off and pushes
a tombstone back. Fall into the tombstone. Open both chests for the
Water Jar and a Herb.
Uparapa tip
Sent in by NES WIZ
If you defeat the Uparapa it will give you the option to let it go. If you
do so, the Uparapa will give you a treasure chest with the Buster Sword
in it leave than reenter and you will get another item you can do this a
couple of times before it will stop.
Bleu tip
Sent in by Robert
Near and up to the end of the game, if you have Bleu in your lineup,
don't waste extra magic on Novax or Comet while fighting the bosses
(like Jade), they will only take a maximum of 400 points from any spell,
and Boltx will do that much.. It costs less than half the magic that
Comet does.
Agni tip
Sent in by Robert
Even after you've gotten Agni, you may want to save until later on in a
big fight. Agni does 999 per strike (the maximum for one strike), but
you may be able to do more with a good line-up... (like you, Ox, Nina,
and Bleu), go ahead, and use Ruda in the meantime, you may as well use
up those Mrbl1's, Mrbl2's and Prtn's you have lying around during this
part, then when they're pretty much used up (Most of the magic is gone,
and they're getting low on Hp) then change to Agni to finish them off.
Again make sure you still have at least a few Cures handy.
Mrbl3
Sent in by Robert
Don't forget about the Mrbl3's just because they stop selling them after
the first couple of towns. They can be very handy near the end of the game
to keep you from draining your recourses fighting through endless ranks
of bad-guys in those long, long dungeon crawls before you get to the boss.
Earth Robe
Sent by Joseph
Once you get Doof, search all the towns, in one of the towns under a big chess
you will find the Rarth Robe which makes you invulnerable to magic and has
really good defense.
Locked doors
Sent by Excerion@aol.com
Note locked doors. As soon as you have Karn, visit Winlan, the cave east
of Auria, Romero, and return to Agua, search the statues on top.
Hidden holes
Sent by Excerion@aol.com
Put Karn in front when you wander around Krypt. It's full of hidden holes,
and almost all the chests are booby-trapped.
Hidden stuff
Sent by Excerion@aol.com
As soon as you have Ox go back to Agua, where you can break some walls
and get nice things, and Krypt, where you can break the rock holding the B
Rang. But you can't fix the B Rang until you visit the fortress west of Gant.
If you find Doof, go back to Bleak and push the boxes in the fortune teller's
house. You'll get some armor for Bleu and a new spell.
Stone Robot
Sent by Excerion@aol.com
Once you have Mogu, find the dragon dirt, the patches of ground with a
dragon symbol on them. One is near Camlon, one is near where you found
the Stone Robot, and I can't remember where the rest are.
W Ant tip
Sent by Excerion@aol.com
Put W Ant's in the bank. You'll need one near the end of the game.
W Ant, C Nut, Root, and P Fish
Sent by Excerion@aol.com
To find the W Ant, C Nut, Root, and P Fish, look in the following places:
You probably found several W Ants over the course of the game, make sure
to put one in the bank. If you don't have one, hunt a white stag. You can
find C Nuts on the trees by Tunlan and the GrimFowl knight's tent. Ox can
punch them off. And don't worry about bees. you can find a Root by digging
at the foot of one of the plants near Gramor. To find a P Fish, fish off the
bridge south of Carmen.
Useing the Rod 5
Sent by Excerion@aol.com
To use the Rod 5, find a well and fish in it. Some you can only find by flying.
One of the pieces of equipment is cleverly hidden. You need to fish in Spring
after mucking around in Spyre.
Buy strong weapons and armor
Sent by Excerion@aol.com
Have Gobi go to the front of the party and activate the empty shop counter
in either Tunlan or Prima. You can try to haggle with the people, and even
make a profit! There are some things you can only get here, like some of the
stronges weapons and armor.
Early experience
Sent by Dray
In the very beginning stay close to the town and fight you will run into 3
Fleas a lot and they give the most experience. And buy a lot of herbs though
since the fleas are faster than you for the first 3 levels.
Start of game tip
Sent by Dray
Do not buy any weapons or armor in the beginning. You get better ones than
you can buy in the castle and you can live without them easily if you are
level 3 or above. Make sure you take in a lot of antidotes. The P.bugs only
poison you. They do not attack only poison so kill them off and then use the
antidote after the battle.
Enter the Crypt
Sent in by Josh 18
To enter the Crypt, use the Fife. Use a key in the Crypt to get to the catacombs
to avoid more fights. then go down the stairs to find Karn the Thief so that you
can find your transformient powers.
Lots of money
Sent in by Christopher
To get lots of money, have atleast rod 4. Go fish until you can't
carry any more stuff. Then go sell the fish.
Dragon Armor
Sent in by Hunter
To get the Dragon Armor, go to the Spring City. Go to the pond where
the ducks are and go fishing there and you will get the Dragon Armor.
I. Claw
Sent in by Michael Szenay
To find the I. Claw, have Nina back in the party. When you do,
go to the man who told you about the B. Rang. Talk to him and
then go north to a house on an island. Talk to the woman in the
house. She will let you take an Item. Then go back to the tent
with the person in it. He'll give you a List. Go back to the woman
and talk to her. Give her the List, then go back to the man. Talk
to him and you will finally get the I. Claw.
Rod 5
Sent in by Michael Szenay
To find the Rod 5, have the access in the Castle of Tunlan. Go
to the safe and walk in front of the left chest. Then you will fall
into a secret room. Move the chest below the bed, then press A
to find the Rod 5.
Mallet
Sent in by Steve
Go to Gibis shops in Tunland and the fish city (there in the
flea market) press A and some one will come to do business
with you do it enough and some one will come in to sell to a
"MALLET" don't bargain on the price or he will leave its ox's
strongest weapon.
Agni Power
Sent in by Geoffrey Durso
The Agni Power is at the Cleansing Water cave. Just go directly
underwater where you get the Cleansing Water w/ all Dragon
Armor (found in various wells) and Gills.
Power Dart and the Life Armor
When you first get Karn, go to Agua and open the locked door. Keep
following the path until you reach two statues on your left and right.
Go to those statues and press A. You get the Power Dart and the Life
Armor.
Searching
Search every big dresser you see. They usually have items to raise stats.
Also search pushable objects like vases, stools, cabinets, etc.--they often
hide important objects as well.
Talking to people
Sometimes the order that you talk to people and do things is very important.
An example is when you need to get the WtrJr in Romero. You need to talk to a
guy in the town who mentions a couple that used to sell something ... Then
you need to visit the couple in the graveyard at night. The old woman will
give it to you only after you've talked to people in the correct order.
WtrJr
The WtrJr can be refilled in the spring and in Tunlan (by the girl that
mentions songs can be bottled). It is useful for healing all four of the
fighting party and reviving them if they are dead.
Earth Key
The Earth Key can be used as an item during battle. It does 30 points of
damage to all enemies. This is very useful for Nina since she has a wimpy
attack.
Shop prices
Different shops charge different prices for the same items. This also means
that shops will pay different prices when selling items. If you are going
to sell valuable items, find a high priced shop, and vice versa while buying.
Being a fish
When searching underwater turn Gobi into a fish (you must have the sphere,
saved Prima, and have Gobi as the lead character). That way you won't be
attack by monsters while moving around.
Tri-Rang
The Tri-Rang can be found behind Pagoda after Nina learns how to fly and
BEFORE Pagoda has been activated. Search directly behind the twin towers
of Pagoda to find the Tri-Rang.
9999 experience
Gain oodles of exp. (9999 exp. a shot) from M.Slimes on the island Pagoda is
on. After a while the M.Slimes will run out and will only show up after a
period of rest. The Hero's Agni spell and Bleu's FireX spell work well against
the M.Slime. Unfortunately they don't appear with great frequency.
Life Armor and Icy Dagger
After you get Karn, go back to Agua open the doors that were locked before.
When you get to the top you should be able to reach a scenic place with
where the path forms a cross on the water. On the left and right side of the
cross are two statues of dragons. Search them to gain two very good items.
These are the Life Armor and the Icy Dagger. The Icy Dagger makes a good
weapon for Karn but can be used during battle to produce a spell effect.
Also check back in Winlan to find the Flame Rapier and in the Auria, Bleak
cave for a G.Bar and other stuff.
Treasure
After getting Ox, go back to Agua to break down a wall for more treasure.
Also check the Auria---Bleak cave. Free the B.Rang from Krypt as well, using
Ox--it will be broken though when you first find it.
Chun Li
Go to the town of Bleak. Once there, go see the man in the big house
to the upper left of the town. He'll ask you to put money on the
table. Do everything he says, and when he asks you to look behind
you, say no two times, then yes on the third time. You will see
Chun-Li practicing her thousand-kicks move.
Emperor Sword and the Star Hammer
Check by the throne after defeating Jade to discover the Emperor Sword.
Check the right-hand pillar in the same room for the Star Hammer. Use this
in combat to produce *Comet* spell effect!
