Sword of Mana

By killing 1000 of the same variety of monster (eg: Kill 1000 Rabites), you will permanently replace that monster with a new, Black version of it. The Black versions of monsters are a lot stronger and tougher than their regular counter-parts, but have a relatively good chance of dropping Crystal Ores which can be used for forging. When a monster turns black it'll get +500 HP and +100 on the other stats

Defeat 999 of any regular monster to turn it into a Black monster. Black monsters have high stats and can drop Altena Felt and Crystals which make the most powerful equipment in the game.

To do a special charge attack, wait until your attack gauge is full and your character starts flashing green. Hold A for approximately two seconds, and release it. Your character will do a charge attack which varies with weapon to weapon.

To see a brief sequence involving a chocobo, wait five minutes after the ''Fin'' screen appears when you complete the game. After the scene, the game will go back to the title screen.

When Julian takes on his final form in the battle after the fight with the sheep and with the clones, the easiest (if not most time consuming) way of defeating him is to stand back at the end of the platform and pound at him with the bow. Recover any HP you lose from his attacks with Wisp (Spirit that gives you the ability to regain health). Also, if you have the Trait Coin for Salamander (Fire, it gives you the PwrUP effect, which gives you a more powerful attack), it will make it quicker and easier. Do not change Spirits. Use only Wisp to regain life and otherwise rely on your weapon. The Pedan Bow can be very effective; forge the Bow with Pedan Stone to obtain it. Dont bother with other weapons, as they will put you too close to him when he attacks, or cannot reach him. Forge and temper the bow to what you think its optimum efficiency is, then shoot away. Also, there is no way to continue the game after you have defeated the final Boss. Complete every quest you can before you start your final adventure.

First, make sure that you have anything that your character eats to use. Then, wait for the time that you know the enemy is about to use an attack. Before the attack is launched, use the item. Your enemy's attack will not hit, and if you are lucky, you will not lose HP. Note: Sometimes this fails but you will lose less HP than normal.

In the room before battling Count Lee, there are four bats flying around. If you kill each one, you may get an object. After a few seconds, the bats reappear. Keep killing them and after awhile you will get easy experience.

Even if you do 0 damage, the game will still allow you to raise your weapon/magic levels. To raise a weapon/magic level easily, find an enemy that is invulnerable to the type of damage the weapon or magic causes (The Popoi's Notebook in the ring menu has information about this). Repeatedly hit it. Your weapon/magic level will raise as though you are causing damage.

Get past the mana Sanctuary easily - after you go past the gold statue and the hot house head (by screen)north, east, south, west, west, north.

Kill over 1,000 of the same enemy to replace it with an much more difficult black version of it in future encounters.
