During the game

Go to the question mark west of Fou-Lou's Temple. Go to the area where there was a burning forest. When you fight a Gold Gang and kill it with physical attacks you will get slightly over 1,000 Zenny. If you want even more money, kill it with magical attacks for over 10,000 Zenny. Repeat this as needed.

Go to one of the apple trees and stock up 99 of them. Then, go to the nearest shop and sell them for 10 Zenny to get a total of 990 Zenny. This is useful at the start of the game, but is not worth the effort later.

Go to the island south of Lyp. There is a Moza plant at that location from which you can cut Moza Grass off. Stock up until you have 99 and sell them for 50 Zenny each, for 5,000 Zenny.

Go to Wyndia and enter the big mansion. Talk to the butler. He will ask for silverware. The butler will give you aurum that ranges from 1 to 16 aurum for these items. You can find the silverware in the following locations


Spoon: Lazy Fairy shop.
Fork: In the Cove with the wrecked ship, the large crap monsters drop them.
Straw: Rei and Teepo shop, or the crooked business man will give you one for helping out with the crates, vases/boxes.
Chopsticks: Send fairies to Wyndia searching, Rei and Teepo shop

During the game

Return to the hidden village by Chek after the battle. You will encounter monsters that have high HP and regenerating powers. You will fight six at a time, so you can practice your combos to very high scores.

During the game

You need three spells, two which are learned by leveling up, which is Viltalize by Nina and Scias. The third is Celerity, which you learn as a skill from the master Abbess after you have encountered 100 different enemies. First, equip Celerity on any character except Nina or Scais -- preferable Cray since he is the slowest, so the enemies will get all of their attacks off first allowing you to cast the three spells in a row Enter a random battle anywhere, have the first character cast Celerity, then have Scias cast Vitalize, then have Nina cast Vitalize again. If done correctly you should have an easy 70 hit combo. If you have three Harmonic Rings, equip one on each character and it will help to connect the combo -- you will not waste casting Celerity if the combo does not connect.

To do this, you need relatively simple specials. You do not even need Celerity to pull this off. The skills you will need are as follows, incuding who will utilize them: War Shout, FaerieCharge for Scias; Speed, FaerieAttack for Cray; Controlled Kaiser Dragon, Focus, Last Restort, TigerFist for Ryu. It is also best to have Ryu equipped with a two hit sword, and to have about 11 Faeries selected as troops. Go to the Abandoned Village near Chek and get into a fight with Treans or Trunkeds. As soon as a battle starts, have Ryu change into the Kaiser Dragon. Have Cray cast Speed on him, and then Scias cast War Shout. On the next turn, have Ryu use Last Resort. Then have Cray and Scias do the exact same thing they did before. Now on this turn, Ryu should use Focus, while Cray and Scias do whatever. It does not matter, as long as it does not make the Treans or Trunkeds run away. When everything's ready on the next turn, this is where the work you did pays off. Have Scias cast FaerieCharge, Cray cast FaerieAttack, and Ryu finish with TigerFist. If it comboed properly, the FaerieCharge will hit for about 11 hits, FaerieAttack will hit for about 22 times, and TigerFist will hit for about 48 hits.

This trick requires you to attack the Trunked or Trean enemies North-West of Chek. Have the skills WarShout, Faeire Attack, and Faerie Charge each on a different person. Next, put all twenty faeries in barracks (you will need to open seven barracks). Finally, have the first character use War Shout (12 hits), the second use Faerie Attack (46 hits), and third use Faerie Charge (66 hits) for a total of 124 hits and roughly 30000 damage. That should take care of any Master requiring a number of hit for a skill.

During the game

Avoid using Earth Attacks because of its high defense against it. Keep using strong combos or Dragon attacks to get rid of his regeneration ability. Be sure to have equipment which can stand against instant death attacks.

During the game

Use the following steps to find Rider, the game's toughest monster. Go to Mutko. After passing through the Tomb, enter Mutko from the south side. Then, enter the cave in the upper left corner. Have Eshrin headbutt the crack in the wall. Enter the opening. Go through the next three rooms. You should find a treasure chest and then a dead end. You can find Dragon Tear in the chest, as well as Rider. He has about 400,000 HP. To make things worse, he regenerates half of it each round. He can also cast some dangerous attacks, such as Disaster and Primus. Use Pilfer to steal a very valuable item from him -- King's Armor, which has Def 100.

During the game

At the end of the game, answer all of Fou-Lu's questions "Maybe so...". You will be merged with Fou-Lu and will play as the Infinity Dragon (Fou-Lu and Ryu God form). Then, just wipe out your ex-partners to get the ending.

During the game

In the woods where you find the mayor is a tree full of apples. Hit it with Ershin and stock up on apples. Head through the forest to where you find the mayor. You have to fight Maman at this location. Use an apple to distract it for a turn. If you have enough, the Maman will not attack during the entire battle.

During the game

Use Ershin,Ursula, or the main character to use the action button against villagers in towns. Sometimes they will drop Zenny.
