Alternate
song:
Go to save the game and press Circle(2). You will be asked if you
want to continue playing. Answer "Yes" and when the screen turns
black briefly, press L2 + L1 + R2 + R1 + Circle
+ Square + X + Triangle. Instead of someone singing,
the song will have someone whistling.
Japanese
introduction song:
Press L2 + R2 + L1 + R1 + Triangle + Circle
+ Square + X while the game is loading. The song that plays
during this time will now be in Japanese.
Hint:
Alternate opening sequences:
As you progress through the game the FMV sequences that plays when you load
a game changes somewhat, reflecting where you are in the game. For example,
Malik Leehalt and Melody do not appear the first time you see it; after
encountering them they eventually show up. You will also hear the opening
song in Japanese at one point. Also look for Siegfried to make a very brief
appearance, as well as the prophets in demon form.
Hint:
Character gallery:
Press Select during a dialogue sequence to view a portrait of the
speaking character. Note: This cannot be done during intermission sequences.
Hint:
Gems:
In the Fallen Sanctuary, defeat Pilbugs with Arcana to get Earth, Wind,
Fire, and Ice gems which can be used in battle, or sold for 100 Gellas.
To get gems (which in some
cases, are useful), destroy an enemy with any Elemental Arcana or Guardians.
At the end of the battle, you should get an amount of Arcana Gems equal to
the number of enemies you defeated with that Elemental Arcana. Note: Using
Virginia's Mystic and an Arcana Gem could multiply the gem used, only if the
enemies are defeated.
Hint:
Easy money:
When you get to Serpent's Coil, the enemy there will always be Jells and
always appear in numbers of three or more. They are immune to physical
attacks. When you are at level 10 or greater, use only elemental Arcanas.
After the battle, notice that you will get Arcana Gems exactly according to
the Arcana used to kill the Jells. Every battle can result in three or more
Arcana Gems. Each gem can be sold it for 100 Gellas. Every enemy you kill
using an Arcana is bound to give away Arcana gems.
When fighting in the Abyss, you
can find an enemy called Gella Eater. You have two rounds to kill him or it
will run with your money. The more money you have, the more he takes from
you. Let them get the money in the first round, cast Gella Card and you will
get your money back doubled. However, make sure you can kill them. They have
about 3000 HP.
Hint:
Easy experience:
Note: This trick requires a controller with an auto-fire feature. You must
have the horses. Go to the world map and get on the horse. Set the battles
for auto-fight. Set X to auto-fire and keep it held. The horse will
twitch quickly, but it will eventually get you into a battle. The rest will
be taken care of automatically. Leave the system on for free money and
experience. Make sure you pick an area where you can easily defeat the
enemies, or you may find your party dead when you return to the game. If you
set it for "Balanced Attack", your characters will also use magic
and your MTC will raise a bit. Note: Due to the relative ease of the game,
it appears that the developers made it difficult to gain levels. Most
enemies on the world map that can be fought in this manner only give about
200 to 300 experience points. It requires large amounts of experience to
gain levels after you reach 50. After level 50, this trick is only useful
for gathering large amounts of money for your ARMs and getting kills with
Arcana to increase MTC.
Defeat five Telepath Towers and
you will fight a Creeping Chaos (30,000 HP). It will use a move called Arc
En Circl, which puts almost every status aliment on everyone in your party.
You will get 10,000 experience points for defeat it. After you defeat it,
you can battle it all around Filigia.
When you fight the Kraken in
Little Twister, make sure everyone is equipped with Water Ward and have it
maxed out. When you enter the battle, use Mystic on a Lucky Card but do not
attack. Have everyone defend. Even though the Kracken has a larg amount of
HP, he needs to cast Maelstrom at least 79 times for you to to get the
maximum experience points (about 995,000) from the battle. Note this battle
will take about an hour for the maximum, but it will give ten or more levels
depending on you pre-battle levels.
As soon as you can, buy at
least three Call Whistles from the traveling salesmen. In Clairborne after
you buy the horses, go back to Midland (where the secret garden is located.
Call your horse and jump over the crevice to the north. You must be at least
level 10 to fight the monsters here, but they are extremely weak to fire.
Equip Virginia Or gallow with Fiery Rage Medium and summon at the very
start.. It will not kill them immediately until you are at about level 17 or
18, but it should do enough damage to kill them with ARMs. Also, they drop
Heart Leaf which will prevent their own status ailment. Make sure you equip
this and max it out. After that it should be no problem to level up.
Hint:
One hit kills:
As soon as you can, equip the Bunker Cannon II on the Sandcraft. When in
battle, always use the force ability "Fire all ammo at once". You
should be able to kill all monsters in one hit.
Hint:
Defeating Janus Cascade: To defeat Janus Cascade at Ka Dingel you must have 40 plus Arcana
Gems. Do not use any medium powers -- if you do, Janus is just going to keep
healing himself repeatedly with Heal Berries. Watch out for his Rising Nova
move, as it will kill you.
Hint:
Defeating the roped woman:
When you are fighting the roped woman you will notice she kills Clive first.
If you keep reviving him, she will only go after him. This makes it easier
to fight her.
Hint:
Avoiding battles:
When a white exclamation mark appears over your head, press Circle to
avoid the battle. If you are near an object that you can use (switch, lever,
wheel, etc.) use it, or walk through a door and you will avoid the battle
without using any MTC points.
Hint:
Easy battles:
When you get the Sandcraft, you will fight some very difficult enemies in
the Inner Sea. To make these easier, gather 50 Dragon Fossils by fighting in
Fortune Gear. Then, upgrade your Sandcraft weapon to the Ark Smasher. Always
use the "Fire All Ammo At Once" Force ability to easily take them
down.
When you get your characters to
about level 25 to 30, and you get in your Sandcraft, you start the battle
with 25 FP. Put Virginia as gunner, as she has the highest RFX. Go to Jolly
Roger, and buy the Ark Smasher with 50 Dragon Fossils. When you get into
battle in the Sandcraft, she gets the first turn. Fire all the ammo, and the
battle will be over in one shot. The monster will never get a turn
(including Balal Quo Naga). This takes some time, but you can build up large
amounts of Gella and experience this way.
After you get the last four
guardians, put Lust Jaw on Virginia and fill in "Weakness" where
you spend your points to adjust attributes. Then, anytime you get in a
battle, have her use "Mystic" and an elemental gem. (first find
out with Analyze what the elemental weakness of the monster is). When you
use that gem, it does double damage, plus gives her chain attack credit.
This works very well in the Abyss, as there are only five or six different
types of monsters to fight. Since she goes first each time, usually you can
finish a battle in one turn. This works best against groups of monsters.
Hint:
Difficult battles:
To fight some tough Bosses, go to Green Lodge (area with Yagdrassil) or Ka
Dingel. Find the black sphere object to fight a Boss. Do this on all the
black spheres you encounter, and on the well in Little Twister.
Hint:
Make animal jump in town:
Using any character's tool, get directly next to an animal (horse, dog, cat,
chicken, etc.) in town. Each of them will do something different.
Hint:
Converting animals to items:
Use the tool Radar (Jet) to detect a suspicious animal in town (dog,
chicken, etc.). Then, use the tool Change Crest (Virginia) to change that
animal to an item.
Hint:
Heal Berries: If you are running low on Heal Berries, go to the Fallen
Sanctuary and use elemental spells of opposing elements (Ice and Fire,
Thunder and Water, Wind and Earth). Along with getting multiple Gems (which
can be sold for 100 gold each), you will also get Heal Berries or Gimel
Coins.
Hint:
Secret Garden: After defeating the Ring Keeper (the Boss in the Decaying
Labyrinth), talk to the girl. When you plant something normally, you would
usually leave and wait awhile after progressing into the game. In fact, if
you leave the Secret Garden and fight one or two battles, when you go back
they will be in the next stage. Keep this up and you should max out your
Heal Berries, Full Carrots, etc. in no time.
Hint:
Fireworks show: Go to the Little Rock Inn and have Gallows in the lead. Stay a
day and when you get control, just sit there. In about two minutes you
should see a fireworks show.
Press Triangle to go to
the menu, then go to "Settings" and turn on the screen saver.
Then, leave the menu things to where you can walk around. Stand still for a
few minutes to activate the screensaver. It looks like a fireworks show and
is nothing like the screensaver from the first Wild Arms.
Hint: Wild
Arms reference: The Tear Drop is a crystal that was used to power a floating
town/ship (mentioned in the area where Clive gets the grappling hook). It is
also the same tool that is used by Cecile in the original Wild Arms.
Glitch:
Wrong article: Start a new game and go to Gallow's story. He will talk, then the
game will show the newspaper. On it will be the Ark Skeptor, but the article
will instead be about the "call whistle".
