Cheat Codes/Hints
Jump a few more extra times
This glitch will make your characters be able to jump twice as much as you currently can. For example, if you don't have the double-jump relic, you are able to jump twice with this glitch and if you have it, you are able to jump up to four times. This glitch is useful for sequence breaking and getting items early in the game.
1)First have both characters on the same screen
2)Tap the touch screen above to make your partner jump up to two times (depending if you have the double jump ability or not)
3)Once your partner is high enough, press X to switch characters
4)If timed correctly, you will be able to do an extra jump or two right after switching characters
Play as Maria only
There is a glitch in the game that lets you play as Maria only. However, note that she can not beat the game by herself since she does not have a super jump skill.
To unlock a Maria-only mode, follow these steps. You must have both Richter and Old Axe Armor modes unlocked for the glitch to work:
1. Resume your completed Jonathan/Charlotte mode game.
2. Switch the main character to Charlotte.
3. Save the game. Restart.
4. Choose New Game + with your Jonathan/Charlotte mode game.
5. At the name entry screen, press B.
6. Start a new game and choose Old Axe Armor as the character.
7. Instead of Old Axe Armor, your character will be Maria!
Play as Old Axe Armor
Kill 1000 (or more) Old Axe Armor (Monster No. 92). Then SAVE. You need to SAVE in order for the Kill Count to register. Now when you start a New game. You can choose OLD AXE ARMOR as a player character.

Start any new game with a fully completed map
Normally youre only supposed to carry over your completed map from a Jonathan cleared game to a Jonathan new game +. With this glitch you can start a new Sisters, Richter, or Old axe armor game with your fully completed Jonathan map. Heres how:
1. Click on the new game + bat icon to the right of your cleared Jonathan file.
2. On the 'normal' or 'hard' difficulty screen, press B to cancel and go back.
3. Go to any blank file and start any new game be it Sisters, axe armor, etc.
4. Voila! Fully completed map!
This makes exploring in Sisters, Ricther, and Axe armor mode a whole lot easier.

If you take Charlotte as your main character and press UP for about 10 seconds in front of Vincent, the shopkeeper, he'll make a funny comment. Try with and without Jonathan on the screen.
