Seraphic
Gate: Save in the final save point in the game, before the final
Boss. When you reset the game, there will be a new option called
"Seraphic Gate." It is a bonus dungeon that is separate from the
game.
Character
gallery: Unlock 100% of a character's voice in the voice collection.
Enter the voice collection section, highlight that character and press Square.
Art featuring that character will be displayed.
View
item parameters: Enter into the "Use Item" menu and press Triangle
over an item, then press Square. The game will show you the item's
parameters. This also can happen in the divine item menu. For example,
with a sword, if the parameter is "Circle, Circle, Circle", it
does a triple combo attack. If it is "Square, X, Square", it
will do the first attack, and the last attack.
Alternate
ending sequence: Successfully complete the game with an "A" rank. Wait
until the credits end to view a scene featuring Brahms and Lezard
discussing their future plans.
Hint:
Dimension Slip accessory: When obtaining the Bark Of Dryaid in Nolsoft Swamp, keep it.
Then, when obtaining the Transformation /Creation Gem, change it to get
the "Dimension Slip" accessory.
Hint:
Hard mode: In Dark Tower of Zelva keep the Secrets of Resurrection
artifact and then change it to an Orihalcon. Then, change the Orihalcon to
get the Creation Jewel. Use this to obtain the Glare Sword, Icicle Sword,
and Crimson Edge spear from Broken Armor, Book on Everlasting Life and
Broken Spear respectively.
Hint:

To get an "A"
ending, do the following.
Note from start of game
up to Chapter 4 Do not go to Weeping Lily Meadow
When you have access to Brahms' Castle, either do not go there or go
there byt do not go to Brahms' chamber.
Note from start of game
up to Chapter 6 Remove Nibelungen Ring and never wear it again.
Transfer only one character per chapter.
You may get all artifacts, as long as you send one character per
chapter.
Chapter 3 Do spiritual concentrations until you get access to Brahm's Castle.
Chapter 4 Do spiritual concentrations until you are pointed to where you can
recruit Lorenta. Finish the dungeon that follows (Tower of Lezard
Valeth).
Chapter 5 Do not start with spiritual concentrations.
Go to Gerabellum to see an event regarding Lucian.
Do your spiritual concentrations.
Recruit Lucian.
Level Lucian up so you can send him to Asgard in this chapter (you can
send him later in Chapter 6 but this is the best time to do so). Send
Lucian to Asgard.
Recruit Mystina.
Go to Weeping Lily Meadow.
Go to Brahm's Castle and choose not to fight him; or you can fight him
but you have to win (only Magic can hurt him).
Chapter 6 If you followed it faithfully, you can transfer two characters here
but just to be safe, transfer only one.
End chapter 6.
Sacred Phase 6-7 You will witness an event after Sacred Phase with Lucian in it. If
you did not, something went wrong. Repeat from previous save or start
over.
Chapter 8 Do spiritual concentrations.
Do whatever you want -- just make sure you have periods left in order to
access Weeping Lily Meadow.
Hint:
Short elevator rides: When in the Tower of Lezard Valeth, you can shorten the time
the elevator moves from point A to B by opening and then closing the menu
or map screens. You can avoid battling the monsters that ride the
elevators by using this trick.
Hint:
Gram: If you are lucky and get another Orihalcon and you have the
creation jewel (not gem), transmute the Orihalcon to Gram, a powerful
sword that cannot be overpowered until you get with your fight with Loki
in Ending A.
Hint:
Flame Jewel locations: You need Flame Jewels to access special rooms in the Seraphic
Gate. In them, you can find the best equipment and the secret characters.
There are eight special rooms, meaning you need eight Flame Jewels. They
can be found in the following locations. Note: Flame Jewels are only
available in hard mode.
Salerno Academy
Dark Tower of Xervah
Citadel of Flame
Sunken Shrine
Tombs of Amenti (two Flame Jewels)
Arianrod Labyrinth
Celestial Castle
Hint:
Artifacts to keep:
Bark of the Dryad: Turns
into the Dimension Slip when you obtain your creation gem.
Fairy Bottle: Turns into the Orihalcon with the creation gem. Available
in normal mode.
Manuals of Resurrection: Also turns into the Orihalcon with the creation
gem. Available only in hard mode.
Eternal Lamp: Avoid freezing.
Hint:
Items from the Einjerjar: Once you have recruited the Einjerjar, some of them have
weapons or items in their respective cities that will help you in your
quest. The only stipulation to this, though, is if you have already sent
that character to Asgard, you cannot get the items. The following is a
list of items the Einjerjar will give you:
Arngrim: Artolia -
Arngrim's House - Dragon Slayer
Belenus: Lassen - Belenus' House - Asaka's Flower
Llewellyn: Crell Monfrange - Forest Meadow - Goddess Pendant
Kashell: Camille Village - Cemetary - Vainslayer
Janus: Crell Monfrange - Janus' House - Raven Slayer
Nanami: Hai Lan - Dragon Shrine - Dragon's Bane
Yumei: Hai Lan - Hai Lan Coastline - Fragment of Lapis Gem
Mystina: Flenceburg - Mystina's House - Infinity Rod
Hint:
Unlocking secret items and characters: Play in hard mode, and collect the eight Lotus Gems there. Then
play the Seraphic Gate. You have now the access to the locked green doors,
which is the location of the secret items and characters.
Hint:
Nibelungen Ring compensation: Keep the Nibelungen ring equipped in Valkyrie, and then give
her the Radiance Sword or the Crescent Arrow bow (they can be obtained in
the Divine Item menu)/ When she uses Nibelung Valesti, you will have the
complete attack sequence. Note: This may also work with other divine
weapons.
Hint:
True Nibelung Valesti: When equipped with the Razor Shaft bow (and perhaps the Angel
Slayer sword), Valkyrie gains the third and final form of her finisher. It
consists of her normal attack combo, the three Holy Spears (where the
level 1 finisher ends), the Mighty Spear that hits for two to five times
normal damage (where the level 2 finisher ends), then a residual energy
strike that does five to twenty times normal damage. Which weapons will do
this depends on whether or not Valkyrie is wearing the Nibelungen Ring;
try it with and without the ring.
Hint:
Easy experience: Once you are inside the Arkdain Ruins, defeat all the enemies,
exit the castle, but do not go to the world map. Enter again and all the
enemies (except the ones inside chests) will return. This will help to
raise level and skills. Note: If is the first time you enter, you can also
defeat the main Boss, but do not open the artifact chest or the enemies
will disappear.
There is an easy way to get
over 250,000 experience points quickly in Seraphic Gate It is very useful
for first starting this area, due to many characters being weak. Go to the
upper right-most room in the starting area and you should see a monster
coming down the platforms, and one on the upper right ledge not moving
until you approach it. Fight this enemy specifically. The fight consists
of two Ancient Golems. Have the following characters in your party
equpiped with these weapons: 1. Lenneth: Demon Sword
"Nefarious"; 2. Lucian: Gram; 3. Badrach: Razor Shaft; and 4.
anyone else. Make sure Badrach and Lucian have Gem Of Creations and
everyone has Level 8 Guts, Auto-Potion Level 8 Elixer 100%, and Angel
Curios. You may want to give anyone with low levels the Coin Of Fortune or
Gem Of Learning. Attack in this order: 1, 2, 4, 3, 1,(4), 2, 3,(4), 1, 2,
3 and do not use any finishing moves. The fourth person usually may have
only one attack. You should be able to knock a lot of Crystals out of both
of the Ancient Golems with Badrach's and Lucian's third attacks. Also due
to their size, Badrach should be able to connect with nearly every shot of
his. When you leave the room the enemies will regenerate. This is an
excellent place to build up your party for the later areas and harder
enemies.
Hint:
99 hits: You must first have three mages each equipped with a staff that
allows them to use great magic. Also, they should have Mystic Cross as
their combo magic (Shadow Servant is also useful). Find a battle with four
enemies (for example, at Asgard Hill). When the battle starts, have all
three mages use Mystic Cross simultaneously until the combo meter goes to
100 (let Valkyrie attack if it did not go to 100 ). If done correctly, all
three mages can use Celestial Star and allow 99 hits. The number of
enemies also affect the number of hits. However, it cannot go more than
99.
Hint:
Defeating BloodBane: First, have Valkyrie equipped with the Gram Sword and the Guts
skill at level 8 (as so with all characters). Equip Lawfer with the
Dinosaur Spear, and equip a swordsman with the Valkyrie-Favor Sword
(preferably Lucian). Equip a high-level mage with the Wand Of Apocalypse
or any other unbreakable scepter. On the first turn, cast Might Reinforce
on your party, attack BloodBane, and do Lawfer's special whenever you get
the chance, and remember to keep your ally's DME at a healthy level.
During the next few rounds, pull off as many big magic attacks and Justice
Streams as possible. Eventually BloodBane will fall, mostly in only four
to six rounds. Although he can heal himself if your characters are at
high-levels, this battle should be easy.
Glitch:
Avoid environmental damage in Tombs Of Amenti: If timed correctly, you can avoid the horizontal pillars of
fire while they are impassable. Jump through the fire where it starts at
the edge of a ledge or wall. Note: This does not always work.
Glitch:
Disappearing shields: Go to the Forest Of Woe in the first chapter in normal mode.
Equip the Bolt-Crossbow and get in a fight. When the message "Purify
Completion" appears, Valkyrie's shields will disappear.
Glitch:
Ice over door: After finishing the final Boss at the Seraphic Gate, before
exiting to the door leading to the title screen, fire some ice at the top
of the door. When you exit, the screen will change to the congratulations
sign, but you will still see the ice you fired over the door.
Glitch:
Misspelling: After finishing the final Boss at the Seraphic Gate; when you
exit to the door leading to the title screen, instead of
"Congratulations", the word "Congratulation" appears.
