HP jewel
Sent in by Joshua Miller
In Freejia, on "the other side of the tracks", there are a bunch of trash
cans. Search all of them and you will find an HP jewel, the kind that you
get after killing all the enemies in a room.
99 Enemies in Angkor Wat
Sent in by The Ruler
You must be in Angkor Wat to do this. When your in the second Garden,
(Where there's 39 enemies, or 38, I'm not sure) Make your way to the
Dark Space destroying enemies as you go, (Its to your right). Change
into Freedan and destroy all enemies except the bushes in the bottom
left corner, on the right side of the stairs. Or Bridgish thingy. Press
pause and you'll notice, it says there is one enemy and there are really
two, defeat the one reachable with your sword, you'll get a power-up.
Now use The Dark Friar and destroy the one below the Bushes, now
press Start, and it says there are 99 enemies, however, there aren't
really 99 enemies, it just says. Leaving here will reset it to 0. You don't
get anything out of this, Its just a trick. I'm not sure if it'll work just
like that, Oh yes, make sure that you have defeated all enemies before
entering the garden, when defeating all enemies before this place,
do not have Fredan.
Beating the final boss's second form
Sent in by L404063@Hotmail.com
Here is another way of beating the final boss's second form. Go as far to
the bottom and the center of the screen as possible. Face up and keep
on shooting. This will kill almost all of the liquid light stuff trying to kill
you. Whenever that statue thing powers up, just block. When the statue
starts to take damage, hit it once or twice and run out of the way. It's
attack takes away a good heap of life. Go back to the center bottom of
the screen and continue. you'll eventually get it.
Where are the prisoners in the Diamond Mine that gives you the gems?
Sent in by Chris Williams
There is only one prisoner that gives you Red Jewels. He is in the room
with the first Dark Space. If you think the room with the first Dark
Space is the room just before the Dark Friar, you are wrong. I suggest
you search all the rooms again for enemies you missed, because an enemy
will produce a Force that allows you to access the first Dark Space. You
must be Will for this. When you find the first Dark Space, move left along
the north wall on the same level as the Dark Space. When you come to
the corner of the north and west walls of the bottom level, stand still
and notice how Will's hair is moving as if being blown by the wind. Use
the Psycho Dash on the north wall at that point and talk to the miner
that appears. He will send 3 Red Jewels to the Jeweler Jem.
Red Gem tip
Sent in by L404063@hotmail.com
The way to get the Red Gem on the other side of the fence in Frijia is to
hop over the fence. How you do this is once you enter the town go down
the right path. there is a place where a path of green grass leads between
two flowers (there is a lot of places like this). Push and hold down for a
few seconds in every suspect place. once you find the right place you
will leap over the fence. Follow the invisible path until you come to
another fence. press down for a couple seconds to jump over that one.
Talk to the slave trader on that side of the fence and get a red jewel.
How do I get passed the force field on the entrance to the
Tower of Bable?
Sent in by Shawn LeClair
To get through the blue force fields in the Tower of Babil, you need
the Crystal Ring. To get the Ring, simply walk into the force field,
and it will come out of your flute. After going through the first force
field, you will notice that you can't walk through the next ones with
the Ring. To get past these force fields, you have to defeat the bosses
in the boss rooms. All of the boss room doors will look the same, but
they will have different bosses in them.
Super slash
Sent in by Troy Loeffler
This is how to do super slash. (Note: this can only be done with Will or Freedan)
1. With Will get his 1st dark power. Move then charge then move the control
pad for Will's Slash.
2. Get Freedan's 1st dark power and do the same thing as Will's Slash.
This attack help you out on the vampires. You can get more hits on them before
them put out fireballs.
Vanpiers tip
Sent in by Troy Loeffler and David Fall
Here are some tips on fighting the Vanpiers.
Take out the boy first his defense and attack is higher, but the girl
defends when the boy attacks. One more thing, watch out for the
fire ball they make together.
Monster in the ruin tip
Sent in by Tyson Blake
This is for people who have trouble beating the first monster
in the ruin. It will be easier if you have full power, and have
at least two herbs. Don't fight the monster if you don't have
freedom he'll knock you cold. When both hands are gown you have
to hit him in the middle of his face. When he suffers damage he
shoots rays of light out of his head, it depends on your defense
of how much power you lose. If you have a high defense you'll
only lose half of your energy. If you have low defense you'll lose
your whole energy dot.

After you get all 50 Red Jewels (you will be in the Tower of
Babel when you get the last one), find a spirit guy who is
right before the door to the final boss, and is next to a Dark
Space Portal. Talk to him, and he'll send you back to Dao (he'll
be there, if you want to return to the Tower). Before you do
anything, go to the Dark Space Portal to heal (if you need to),
and save (this is almost mandatory). Talk to the Jeweler,
Gem, and he'll send you to a strange place. There are enemies
similar to those found in the Diamond Mine, only a different
color and harder. This area is hard itself, since you are stuck
as Will (there is no Dark Space to change to Freedan or Shadow).
As you work your way through the maze-like area, be sure not
to use any herbs... you will need all you can get for the boss.
Try to avoid any enemies that aren't directly in your way
(you will need to save as much energy as possible). Eventually,
you will come to a bridge like section. Cross the bridge to the
right, and go up. You should find a chest with an herb in it. don't
use this yet (even if your health is low). You will need all the
herbs you can get. Now, go back to the bridge, and this time,
go left, but in the passage directly below the bridge. There
should be a space in between the stairs and the top of the
bridge that is black. It took me awhile to figure this out, but
you are supposed to use Will's sliding technique here to go under
it. Follow the path until you come to a door. When you enter
it, you will see a monster. He says that he was using the disguise
of Gem, the Jeweler, because long ago, he had been beaten by a
hero, and lost his power (apparently not all, since he can still
change shape), which was stored in the Red Jewels. He needed
to find all 50 to regain it, so he created the slave labor to help
find them. Unfortunately, that was taking too long, so he let
Will find them for him. Anyway, this is a HARD boss. I can
easily say he's harder than the comet (the final boss). In fact,
he's one of the hardest bosses I've ever had to fight in a game
(at least that I can remember). Anyway, here is the strategy to
defeating him. The key is to study his pattern. Every boss in
almost every game has a specific pattern, and this one is no
different. The first thing you should notice are the three conveyer
belts in the center of the room. These are an obstacle, and can
cause you to slip up (since you need to cross them to hit him).
Remember those herbs you saved? Don't use them yet. You will
most defiantly die the first encounter, and you would only be
wasting them. Don't worry, you'll use them later. While you are
on the bottom half of the room, Gem will shoot fireballs at you.
These come in either a set of two individual fireballs, or 1 group
of 3. The fireballs aren't too difficult to avoid (learn how they
move and you shouldn't have much trouble), but each hit takes
off two full orbs of health (that's a lot, considering you could
die in 10 hits if your life is full). On the other hand, if you are
on the top half, Gem will try to slash at you, which also will
take off 2 orbs of health. To get to the other side (where Gem is),
you can do one of two methods. Either use Will's slide (run + attack)
to slide across, or do a outward attack (if you press the attack
button twice, Will will jump forward with his flute extended).
The second is a little harder until you figure out how to do it
good. Either way, it's still not easy. You will find yourself
accidentally getting stuck because maybe you tried to slide,
but were too far to the left, so Will slid into the wall, or you try
to do the outward attack, and he only attacks regular, etc... This
kind of thing will happen, and that is why you will probably
die a lot until you learn how to do them instantly... Anyway,
before you slide across the conveyer belts, you will need to
try to lure Gem to the opposite side. Do this by simply running,
say, left, so he will move that way, and then running back to
the right, and crossing the conveyer belt. I suggest not to use
the middle one.. I won't refer to it in this strategy, and it
won't help you in any way by using it (it could possibly harm
you). Anyway, after you have lured Gem to one side, and crossed
the other, quickly run over to him, and slash him with your flute.
You can most likely get an easy hit if you are quick enough,
because he'll still be shooting fireballs (they won't go very high,
so they don't have much chance of hitting you if you're on the top).
Hitting him once (or taking too long) will make him chase after
you and try to slash you. You can only hit him when he's not slashing,
since his slash works as sort of a barrier. Back up as he moves
toward you, slashing him as you go. When you get to the conveyer belt,
quickly slide back across before he can hit you. Your goal should be
to get at least 2 hits per trip up to the top section, although you can
most likely get 3 or maybe 4 once you are more comfortable with the
routine. If you only get 1, or even none, don't worry. It happens,
especially as you are still trying to learn his pattern. Just
go back down and try again. Before you try again, be sure to
try to lure him back to one corner again, and slide on the
opposite conveyer belt. This is the basic pattern you should
follow. One hit by Will on him will only take off 1/2 of a hit
point orb on him, and he has as many orbs as Will (if he's
collected all of the Life orbs so that his meter is full). It
will take you awhile, but be patient. Keep trying. It can be
really frustrating when he has about 3 orbs left, and you die
(it happened to me a few times). Don't give up. I must have
used up about 25 lives trying to fight him. Of course, I used
the Reset button a few times, and loaded my save game. That's
why I said to save in Dao. I usually press reset by the time I
have 0 lives left. The only problem with losing a life, is that
although you will start off right at his door, you only have half
of your full health (making it really hard). It takes awhile,
but it can be done. The key is to try not to get hit as much as
possible. Remember that any form of attack takes off the same
amount of hit points on him, so don't use your slide. While it
usually takes off more on enemies than a normal attack, this
is not the case for him, and it's much more dangerous (you could
get hit, and every hit point is precious). Use your herbs once
you think you really have his moves down (I didn't have any
while fighting him, making it a lot harder). Just follow
these strategies, and you should be able to beat him.... maybe.
The comet is a lot easier to beat than Gem. It may take a few
lives to figure out exactly what to do, but it's not hard. You
will turn into Shadow for the fight, and gain a new weapon,
the Firebird. Basically, every time Shadow attacks, he will
shoot out a bird made of fire. Ok. The first form of the comet
is a face. This is really easy. Just shoot his mouth when it's
open, and then he will spit out a green fireball that will rain
down on you. Just dodge these and shoot him every time his
mouth is open, and you should beat it fine. After you beat the
face, a giant statue thing will come up on it. Before it starts
to attack, be sure to equip the Aura in your inventory, so you
can use it every time you press B. The statue thing has two
arms, which will fire two fireballs at you. You can see sparks
build up when it's about to fire, so you will have enough warning.
Just as it fires, use your Aura to sink into the ground and
avoid them. Around you, they will also be bubbles. If you
stand in the middle, and continuously fire upward (toward
the head), you should hit any bubbles that try to hit you. Be
sure Shadow is all the way at the bottom of the screen
though. Every time you sink into your Aura form to avoid
the fireballs, I think you will come up facing right. It looks
like you are still facing up, but when you shoot, you will
start to shoot left. Quickly tap the up button to get back
to the correct position. Eventually, you will see the head's
eyes and mouth open (I'm not exactly sure what it looks like,
but you'll know when you see it). This is the only time it is
vulnerable. Fire as many firebirds as you can at it, and watch
for the mouth to open all the way. It will try to shoot a
deadly ray at you (it takes off the amount of hit points of
half your full life I think). Quickly sink into the Aura form
before you get shot. The eyes will close, and you go back to
dodging fireballs and bubbles... Just follow the pattern, and
you will beat it in no time. It's really not too hard.
