Tips / Hints [TPS] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Creating Characters ------------------- Bonus Points When choosing points for a character, don't be satisfied with 30 to 33 points. Try picking a new set of points until you receive a special bonus points. Protective Elements Choose a protective element that most monsters have, like Fire, Darkness and Evil. Choosing other elements are not that helpful because very few monsters have these elements like Light and Holy. Normal elements should be Water, Wind, and Earth. Auction ------- Duplicate Items Enter an auction and sell an armor or weapon. Save the character who bought the item and reset the game. When you load the saved data, the item is duplicated. Only weapons, armors, and accesories can only be bought and it must be unequipped. Unidentified Items You can not buy an armor, weapon, and accessories that are not identified. In-Battle --------- Slash The slash attack is only for warriors. To do this, simultaneously perss the square (attack) and any direction on the D-pad. This move can also be performed in the air. Resting Characters that have low health can restore HP by pausing for a while. The character's HP is regenerated depending on its constitution. The higher the constitution, higher points are regenerated. Magics ------ Consuming MP If you are using a character that uses magic, don't make it reach to 0, your character will get stunned. Insufficient MP If you cast magic but have you don't have the required MP, the magic will not work. Miscellaneous ------------- Getting Items Opening a trasure chest makes a character display an 'OK' sign, it means that the item or equipment can be used by that character. If there is no 'OK' sign, the item or equipment cannot be used by that character. Refill Hunter's Herbs When a Hunter ran out of Herbs, Talk to the Herb Girl at the Roadside Inn. She refills the Hunter's herbs. Inventory The Inventory option lists identified items that you acquire so, save the game when you have identified the items before you delete your unwanted objects. Start Menu Screen At the Start menu screen, you can also press the X and Square button instead of the start button. Materials When you add an element at your weapon, then you add its counter element, the first material you added will be subtracted by the number of the counter element you add. Counter Elements Fire - Water Light - Darkness Earth - Wind Holy - Evil Wood Ruins ---------- Finding Secret Paths To find a secret paths, you must be a Hunter. Find an area which has a straight line on the ground commonly near the trees, an ordinary wall of trees has a jagged pixels on the ground or on their root, but if it is a straight line, its a hidden path. Only hunters can enter this, if you do this with other characters, it won't work. Abandoned Mine -------------- Labyrinth of the Dead --------------------- Palace of the Immortals ----------------------- West Wing Hidden Room There's a hidden room behind the save point in the West Wing area. Hidden Item A hidden item is located in the pit near the chest containing "Blue Dragon Key". You need to jump to get the item. Old Palace ---------- Shortcut to Dark Wizard You can only do this if you have an elf. Before fighting with the Dark Elf at the second time, there will be an option, choose the 2nd option. After the battle, you'll receive a "Black Quartz Key". Go back to the place where there is a sealed door (the opposite of this is a locked door), the one near a portal. Open that door and go straight, there's a room in there with a black chest. Open it and you'll receive a "Dark Elven Sigil" (if you can't open it, you did'nt acquire the Black Quartz Key from Dark Elf). This sigil is used to open the door ontop where you fought Dark Elf, a portal on the end leads to another portal that leads to Dark Wizard. With this path, you don't need to go to the 'Crystal Maze' and put the crystals one by one. Hidden Room After you fought Dark Wizard, face to the north and jump to the wall, you'll enter a hidden room. Ruins in the Lake ----------------- Collapsing Pillars Don't walk near a stone pillars because it will fall. Stone pillars are very slow when falling so you have time to run from it. Four Treasure Chests These four treasure chests are located in four sides of the Ruins' map. Those chests will only appear if you defeated Kraken. Valley of White Silver ---------------------- Griffon When fighting with Griffon, don't kill him with his back near the edge. His experience gem or drop item will fall. Ancient Ruins ------------- Treasure Rooms Go straight toward the giant pit and stop when you're near the edge. You'll see another layer of ground, try to get there. On the east, there are two pillars, the jump on the wall at the back of the south-eastern pillar and you'll enter a secret room. The other one is at the back of the south-western pillar. Defeat Doppelganger Before entering the door leading to the boss Doppelganger, unequip your items and enter the door. When the battle starts, equip your items back. The Doppelganger is a complete copy of your character. With this, you can defeat them easily. Doppelgangers can't use magics.
