Fly a
jet:
Successfully complete the Shinjuku free mission. Then, select sky mission
mode and highlight the Chaos Dragon at the dragon selection screen. Press Down
and select the "???" option to fly a jet.
Alternate
endings:
Finish the flight missions with a time under 4:30 minutes to unlock other
endings.
Hint:
Easy kills:
In the first or second mission, find a group of weak soldiers (the small
ones in gray) and use your magic attack once (Triangle is default).
Then, hit them with your sword or ax. To see if it worked, press L3
to see their health.
For an easy dash attack kill,
walk fast until you run (with dashed sign when you already run), then press Attack
at an enemy group. If you have powerful weapon on the correct location, you
can kill all the enemies with one blow. This works on all enemies.
For an easy earthquake blow
kill, walk fast until you run (with white dashed sign when you already run),
then press Jump then Attack at an enemy group. If you have a
powerful weapon on the correct location, you can kill all the enemies with
one blow. This works on all enemies.
Attack enemies until you get
the last flashing (on the weapon) combo attack. Press Triangle to get
a bigger attack on the enemies.
Kill the group Leader first
before you kill other enemies in the group. The leader is marked with a
yellow dot. After that, the ability of the enemies will decrease and they
will be easier to kill.
Focus on one enemy when
attacking using the dragon in ground missions. After attacking one or number
of group enemies, do a passing move off them slightly, then press L1
+ R1 to do an 180 degree turn. Then, attack them again. Do this until
they are killed. It is easier to focusing on them if you move the Left
Analog-stick Up.
Hint:
Defeating black dragons: You cannot always hit the black dragons with tracking shots. If
you are a clever player, you can figure out its flight pattern and can
easily hit it with dummy shots.
Hint:
Defeating timed enemies: When you encounter enemies with a 60 second timer over their
head, use magic when they glow red and normal attacks when they glow blue.
They will drop an orb that adds an amount to your kill counter equal to the
highest chain that you got on them.
Hint:
Attacking red armored opponents: Do not attack people with red armor. Your magic will still do the
damage, but green magic missiles will shoot back at you. Also your dragon's
fireballs and specials will also result in the green magic missiles being
shot back. To successfully dodge them, press L1 or R1 to
stride to the left and right while on your dragon or on foot.
Hint:
Chapter 11: Human hurdles: In Chapter 11, you will deal with enemies that have big shields
in narrow halls. When they charge at you, you can just over top of them
instead of blocking, taking the hit, or using magic to stop them. If you are
lucky, once you jump over one, the one behind him will begin to charge. It
is like doing hurdles with humans.
Hint:
Easy health: To get easy health, simply kill one of the large groups of
enemies of about six to ten soldiers, in the X, square or octagon formation.
A small health should appear when you have finished them.
Hint:
Easy experience: Use a weapon that does little damage and bash into a large group
of enemies with a lot of other enemies near. Then, hit them with the weapon
or magic to make a lot of hit combos. The larger the hits combo you make,
the more experience points you will get.
If you are finding it difficult
to level up some of the weapons that are not very strong (for example,
Hunter's Joy), try saving your game and resetting the PlayStation2. When you
reload your game, start from Chapter 1 again and play the very first
mission. If you are skilled, then it should be no problem to get over 1,000
kills on this level, which will easily get your weapon up to level 4 (and
get you a boost in character level as well).
Hint:
Controlling weapons or magic: When you hit enemies, use the Left Analog-stick to make a
quick turn on every hit to enemies that want to attack you from the back.
Hint:
Stronger weapon: Do the expedition event and kill all the enemies with your
weapon.
To level up weak weapons
quickly, go to story mode, Chapter 1, Verse 2 (to the castle) under the easy
difficulty setting. Equip Spiked Wisdom, Butcher's Joy, or another weapon
which magic creates an aura around you that can quickly kill enemies. Charge
up the magic meter, cast the spell, then quickly hold R2. Switch
weapons to the one you want to level up, then run around at the enemies. The
aura will kill enemies as long as it lasts while the kills go toward the
currently equipped weapon. Once the aura runs out, just switch back and
repeat.
It may be slightly more
difficult to upgrade weapons that are heavy and knock enemies back with one
hit, such as the Bonebreaker. This is because you become vulnerable between
strikes and must to chase down and kill each soldier that has been knocked
back. When heavy weapons are used on inside stages, such as the Inner Keeps,
enemies are prevented from flying away. Because your enemies are
bottlenecked, one swing hits everyone in that direction.
Hint:
Larger magic attack: Whenever you use Leonard (the blind man with the rod) or the
first girl you get who made the pact with fire and water and lost her womb,
you can cast magic using Triangle (default). However, if you hold Triangle
you will unleash an attack five times the size. It pretty much effects the
entire screen of enemies, and since you have unlimited magic as an ally, it
is very useful.
Hint:
Attack through walls : During any ground mission, if you see enemies on your radar on
the other side of the wall, you can begin your run attack until you see the
flash that you are going full speed. Then, press Attack to send your
attack through the wall, killing the enemies on the other side
Hint:
Weapons from treasure boxes: In every ground level when you kill everyone, except the targets,
the game will state that a treasure box has appeared. Press R3 and
your map will show you where, in a blue shaped box. Each treasure box on
ground levels like this gives you a weapon.
Elf Village: Victors Spoils
(spear)
First castle level environs: Hunters Blade
Ice third level: Poison Glaive
Hint:
Random items from chained hits: If you score a certain number of chained hits, random items will
appear. For example, a small green health orb (20 hits), orange blast orb
(randomly), black strength-up orb (100 hits). Note: After picking up an
orange orb, you are allowed time between hits is extended for a short amount
of time.
Hint:
Expedition levels: In some expedition levels, you may encounter a man that comes out
of the ground. He is shaped like a normal enemy unit, but is black and
surrounded by colored flames. The flames change color. When the flames are
red, he is vulnerable to only magic attacks (Triangle). When the
flames are blue, he is only vulnerable to physical attacks. A timer is above
his head shows how much time is remaining for you to kill him. It starts at
60 seconds. If you kill him in time you will be rewarded with at least 20
kills, for only one opponent.
Hint:
Orbs: The orbs do not appear at random. The color of the orb (orange or
green) that appears depends on whether your character was hit recently, and
the type of the last orb that was picked up. If you character was hit before
a chain was completed, the next orb color will be green. This is still in
effect even if you were hit awhile back. If you are able to complete the
required chain amounts (17, 36, etc.) without getting struck by an enemy,
then you will receive orange orbs every time. This will reset every mission.
