Submitted By: matthewtx855Lloyds Ultimate SwordThe Material Blade is not Lloyds best weapon. The best weapon for Lloyd is the Kusanagi Blade. How you get it takes some doing. You must beat the Sword Dancer 3 times. First he appears in the mine at the Ossa Trail with 8,888 HP. He disappears after Lloyd speaks to Colette at the mountaintop of Hima right before going to the Tower of Salvation. Second time is in the Gaoracchia Forest. He has 33,333 HP. He disappears after you defeat Luna and Aska. The third time is in Iselia Forest after the party returns from the Tower of Salvation and Colett's illness is cured. The creature has 99,999 HP, so it has more HP than any other creature in the game. The last time it is defeated, it drops the Kusangagi Blade. It takes some effort, but it's worth it.
Naming DogsWalk around a town as Collette. If you see a dog, go talk to it. Collette will name the dog. This trick only works as Collette.
Recommended levelWhen fighting through the first ruins towards the Seal of Fire, it is recommended that you get to at least level 13 for each character. If not, the battle with the Boss will either require an absolutely brilliant strategy or result in the death of your party. Also, make sure that Genis has his skills set to only Aqua Edge and/or Icicle if you have obtained that skill; otherwise he will waste TP using skills that will cause very little damage for the cost.
See Corrine in his true formAfter Corrine has already died and you have defeated the Dark Dragon and walked through the doors in Mitho's Castle, go all the way back to Iselia. Once there you should see a skit involving Sheena hearing Corrine talking to her. After that go to the Temple Of Martel. Once there go to the place where you first met the angel. When you enter the area you should see a secret scene with Corrine in his true form.
Easy MoneyIn the Earth Temple, after you fall through the boards down to the bottom, get in a fight with the dragon flying around down there, he will usually give you at least 1 GRADE and will always give you 10000 Gald. All you have to do is leave through the door and go back in and keep fighting him. Also good for experience.
In Asgard, when sealing the Wind Seal, it is difficult to get into the Seal Room. Light the two lamps next to each other to open a secret room, which has mini pinwheels in the room. Around the entire Asgard ruin there are tablets on the walls, but you cannot read them unless you light the lamps around the tablets, with the original form of the Sorcerer's Ring. When you read the two of them that say something about jewels, and the one that says the cycle of power through the Earth, Gods, and Wind Spirit, it is easy to get into the Seal Room. The Ruby is the red pinwheel, the Pearl is the white pin wheel, the Topaz is the yellow pinwheel, the Wind Spirit is the blue pinwheel, and the Emerald is the green pin wheel.
Arena weaponsWhen you reach Mithos' Castle, defeat the Dark Dragon and open the door. Go through the door, but do not go through the teleporter to Mithos. After you have opened the door and gone through it, go back to Meltokio. Go to the arena and fight in advanced mode with any character to get a personal arena weapon for that person.
Devils ArmsThe Devils Arms are a set of cursed weapons you can find that appear to have very little attack power. However, after you defeat Abyssion in the Darkness Temple, try equipping them to defeat a monster. Each time they are used to kill a monster, they will become more powerful. These weapons can become the most powerful weapons in the game if you have the patience to battle with them.
Falcon CrestWhen Lloyd is low on health (health is in the red) and has the weapon "Material Blade" equipped, he can use a secret tech called the Falcon Crest. To use this tech, press X + A + B. Note: Lloyd must have the title "Eternal Swordsman" in use when attempting this tech.
Summon Spirit MaxwellIn order to find the Summon Spirit Maxwell, you must first find the Derris Emblem in Derris-Kharlan (which is late in the game, near the end ). Then, go to Exire (Half-elves village ) and go to the house with a man inside. He is the person that says that a team of half-elves and humans is a rare combination. Go up the stairs in front of his house and walk around to get to the back, which leads to secret passage. Walk until you see a tombstone. Equip the Ring of Fire, Water, Earth, Wind (which are Ruby, Aquamarine, Opal, Garnet). Then, you will fight Maxwell. He has 60,000 HP (easy mode in the customize menu) or 90,000 HP (hard mode). He also knows strong level 3 magic spells such as Thunder Arrow, Raging Mist, and Meteor Swarm.
CombosIn a fight, press Forward + A, Forward + A, A, Sword Rain: Alpha (Sword Rain, Sonic Sword Rain, Sword Rain: Beta may also work), Hunting Beast (Raging Best also works). In this combo, you will stun the enemy, (or make the enemy fall and use time to stand up ), which gives you time to give to do extra damaging attacks to them and is also a good opportunity for spellcasters to cast quickly without being disturbed.
With Lloyd, press Forward + A, Forward + A, Forward + A, Swords Rain, Psi Tempest (while holding Forward), turn around (for a good position), Rising Falcon. This results in 12 hits, RF is the finisher.
keyoni.
With Lloyd, press Forward + A, Forward + A, A, Sword Rain, Sonic Thrust, Tempest, Fierce Demon Fang, Tempest Thrust or Tempest Beast or Hunting Beast. Note : Try equipping the Sardonyx (from Volt) or equip Shiden (sold in weapon shop in Mizuho) to make the Sonic Thrust into Lighting Thrust, giving extra damage once you execute Sonic thrust in the combo. Also, instead of using Tempest, you can also use Tiger Blade, and if you equip Sardonyx or Shiden it will turn to Lighting Tiger Blade for even more damage. Level 1 techs may be bad for damage, but the best tech for opening a combo or chaining from level 1 to level 3 techs, plus the level 1 techs contains most of Lloyd's special techs.
If you go north from izoold without doing two things to get on the boat it will cause the boat to disappear. However, you are not stuck. You will find the girl again, but you must do other things first. This is also an opportunity to get Sheena. This will require a lot of leveling up, but is worth it. There are also two seals that can be opened. You must go to Himma and tell the woman that you are Sheena's friend. This will get you started towards getting Sheena. Luin will be attacked by the Desians and you must save it. You must save the girl being sacrificed to the fake Wind Guardian. Then, open that seal. You can also go through the Tower Of Mana and release a seal. After doing everything that you can, you should have Sheena in your party and the boat and Lyla will be in Izoold, ready for you. You much more powerful than you actually need to be to do everything needed in Palmacosta and the surrounding areas.
