If you are lucky,the dragon will land on you, and you should be able to cast spellswithout having to worry about getting hit. Try to use spells thatdo not make the enemy move to the left or right (Photon with Raine;Lightning, Thunder Blade, or Indignation with Genis). This couldalso be applied to Zelos or Kratos if you are having trouble withthem.

Hint: Defeating the Phantom Knight:
To defeat Phantom Knight, a powerful monster in Derris-Kharlan,you must equip the Diamond, which you get from Origin, to yourlead character. After this is done, only your lead character cancause melee damage to it, unless you use a union attack againstit and it will take damage.

Hint: Combos:
In a fight, press Forward + X, Forward+ X, X, Sword Rain: Alpha (Sword Rain, SonicSword 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 givesyou time to give to do extra damaging attacks to them and is alsoa good opportunity for spellcasters to cast quickly without beingdisturbed.With Lloyd, press Forward + X, Forward +X, Forward + X, Swords Rain, PsiTempest (while holding Forward), turn around (for agood position), Rising Falcon. This results in 12 hits,RF is the finisher.With Lloyd, press Forward + X, Forward +X, X, Sword Rain, Sonic Thrust, Tempest,Fierce Demon Fang, Tempest Thrust or TempestBeast or Hunting Beast.

Note : Try equipping the Sardonyx(from Volt) or equip Shiden (sold in weapon shop in Mizuho) tomake the Sonic Thrust into Lighting Thrust, giving extra damageonce you execute Sonic thrust in the combo. Also, instead of usingTempest, you can also use Tiger Blade, and if you equip Sardonyxor 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 openinga combo or chaining from level 1 to level 3 techs, plus the level1 techs contains most of Lloyd's special techs.

Hint: Recommended level:
When fighting through the first ruins towards the Sealof Fire, it is recommended that you get to at least level 13 foreach character. If not, the battle with the Boss will either requirean absolutely brilliant strategy or result in the death of yourparty. Also, make sure that Genis has his skills set to only AquaEdge and/or Icicle if you have obtained that skill; otherwisehe will waste TP using skills that will cause very little damagefor the cost.

Hint: Recommended party:
It does not matter if you have Kratos or Zelos. Theyare not really different. They have the exact moves. They alsoboth have Judgment. Zelos is recommended, because he will be ableto have his strongest weapon, the Last Fencer. The party shouldhave Lloyd with the weapon that you get from the last sword dancer,Colette with the Angel's Halo her arena weapon. Note: Use Colette,as the enemy you are going to fight is very big. She can do herunison with Lloyd's Stardust Rain. This can result in 112 hitsif used on the biggest enemy in the game, The Living Armor. Touse it, Colette must use Hammer Rain and Lloyd Sword Rain: Alpha.If you are fighting a small Boss, have Genis and his arena weaponinstead, Zelos and his best weapon Last Fencer, and if he hasJudgment, use it for unison. His Judgment is his best attack.If you used it at least fifty times, he can randomly use Angel'sJudgment (a very strong Judgment that hits over thirty times beforean angel appears and does about fifteen more hits; Kratos canalso do this). Raine is a must have for any party. She is thebest healer in the game.In the unison, have her use Ray if Genisis there. If not, get her to the S side and have her learn HolyLance.

Hint: Getting into the Wind Seal Room:
In Asgard, when sealing the Wind Seal, it is difficultto get into the Seal Room. Light the two lamps next to each otherto open a secret room, which has mini pinwheels in the room. Around the entire Asgard ruin there are tablets on the walls, but youcannot read them unless you light the lamps around the tablets,with the original form of the Sorcerer's Ring. When you read thetwo of them that say something about jewels, and the one thatsays 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 greenpin wheel.In order to get into the Wind Seal room, you must make the pinwheelsspin in the correct order. The order is red, yellow, green, white,blue. After spinning it in the correct order, a door in the backwill open.

Hint: Visiting Corrine after death:
After you defeat the Dark Dragon and go through thedoors in Mithos' Castle, go back to Iselia. There will be a littleskit with Sheena hearing Corrin's voice. After that, go to theTemple of Martel. Go to where you first met the Angel. You willsee Corrine in his true form (Verius), but you will not be ableto summon him.

Hint: Fighting Zelos:
Get to the poing you are in Flanoir and Lloyd is talkingto Zelos when your about to leave (when you are there to see thedoctor). If Lloyds says "Can I trust you?" you willhave to fight Zelos. However if Lloyd says "I trust you",then you will not. An easy way to decide is to save the game beforeyou enter Flanoir. Go through the scenes, then see what Lloydsays. It may differ on who you talk to the night before, and itchanges occasionally when you talk to Zelos.

Hint: Arena weapons:
When you reach Mithos' Castle, defeat the Dark Dragonand open the door. Go through the door, but do not go throughthe teleporter to Mithos. After you have opened the door and gonethrough it, go back to Meltokio. Go to the arena and fight inadvanced mode with any character to get a personal arena weaponfor that person.

Hint: Bigger enemies:
After returning from the scene where you save Genisand Raine from the soldiers by the Tethe'alla Bridge, you cango to Meltokio. However, you cannot go through the gate. Go intothe Meltokio Sewer. Eventually you will see the pedestal thatallows you to change the Sorcerer's Ring function. Change thefunction and use the Sorcerer's Ring to shrink yourself. Then,get into a battle. The rats will be bigger, and will deal moredamage. Note: It should still work if you have already completedthe sewer.
