Cheat Codes/Hints
Defeating Ice Queen Saia
Buy about fifteen Fire Gems from Joker's Store in Queens. If you need money, sell fishing bait. When the battle starts, use a Drans Feather to get very close to her while trying to avoid her shots. When you are close enough to her, get a lock and just keep tossing the gems at her. It is best if you can keep her trapped in a corner.
Defeating Masterutan
Use Goro for the entire time. Select Goro's Battle Ax, keep attacking the big ape, and trap him against the edge of the battlefield. He will eventually die.
Defeating the Black Knight
First, you'll need to prepare. Bring about 15 auto repair powders, 1 escape powder, 10 repair powder, 80 premium chicken, 10 stand in powder and revival powder, 1 dran's feather, and fill the rest with water (it will be a long, hard fight so you need the best items you can get)(you might have to improvise if your inventory holds less then 100 items).
Then head over to the Demon Shaft, it has 100 floors and is unlocked when you beat the Dark Genie.
When you first begin the fight, you will have to fight the boss (the Black Knight) when he's mounted on his tiger. To defeat this form, use Osmond and use Star Breaker (and make sure you don't have any elements on or the tiger will go berserk and charge at you pretty much guaranteeing a hit)(and also make sure to always be rotating, if you stop the Black Knight may hit you with one of his attack). It will take a while, but it should eventually die, when you hear groaning then you know it's dead. Then the Dark Knight will jump off of it and will start to attack you, make sure you quickly change to Toan or Ungaga or he will teleport to you and hit you!
For the Knight himself, use either Toan (if you have the 7th Heaven or Chronicle Sword) or Ungaga (if you have the Babal Spear, and if it's upgraded a lot). Make sure your attribute is on "Holy." Also equip 1 Drans Feather (just in case you need to regroup) and 2 Auto Repair Powders (when weapons hit his armour it does a lot of damage). When trying to hit him, quickly strike then run back to try and avoid his attacks. He has a LOT of hitpoints so be patient.
When you defeat him, there will be a cutscene with him standing in the middle of the room screaming, then a burst of light will get rid of the knight once and for all. Then the Chronicle2 will be in his place. The Chronicle2 is the best sword in the game and can have up to 5 attachments! The only downside to the sword is that the attributes and the anti stats all start out at 50, so it will take some upgrading to get it in tip-top shape.
Defeating the Sun Moon Temple Boss
First, use Ungaga to clear the dark wind around him, then switch to Toan and hit with a charge attack. Repeat for about fifteen to twenty times. This Boss is extremely easy.
Easily beating the dark genie!
First, get the 7thheaven for toan and max out all its stats. Then get the goddess ring for ruby. (hint: it is recommended to upgrade it at least 5 times. Then get about 15 premium chicken and about 7 auto repair powders. Turn your attribute off and dodge the hand and quicly hit it. Why keep switching attributes? eventually he should start using his head... it is recommended to get 3-5 stamina drinks.then use a stamina drink on ruby. If you dont have a stamina drink then he will constintly hit you with an unlockable wing attack. Keep doing this until he turns into the next form. Quickly attack the jewel in his mouth and dodge the attack he does with his feet. Repeat and he will eventually be destroyed.
Easy money
Go into the divine beast cave then get alot of prickly fishing bate and sell it for alot of money.
Free Big Bucks Hammer and Platinum Ring
When building Queens whatever you do DON'T build Jack's store before you finish building King's Hideout. After building King's hideout and getting Ruby then you may finish building Jack's store. Once it's done go to jack's store and an event will take place. You will then receive Big Bucks Hammer (1000 gilda) for Goro and a Platinum Ring (600 gilda) for Ruby for FREE.
Georama Rewards
Meet every character's request in an area and you'll get that particular rating to 100%, which in turn gets you these rewards. If unnamed (Yellow Drops, Dark Heaven Castle), completion of those Georamas is required for progress in the game.
- Get 100% in Matataki Village.
- Windmill Slash (new charge attack for Toan)
- Get 100% in Norune Villag.
Get Music Box key
You will need a music box key to fight the boss in "Shipwreck." To get the music box key, you'll need to complete the Cathedral, then go to the Divining House and ask the nice lady to tell you about the queen's lost lover. Then go to the the guy you meet at first when you come to Queens (don't remember the name). He won't be in his shop but there will be a key. That key will open the music box. If you want strategy to beat the ice queen boss, find it on this page.
Get the Chronicle Sword
To get the Chronicle Sword first get the chopper dagger. Then upgrade into a gold dagger. I don't know the name. Then, upgrade it into the maneater. After upgrade it again into the Atlamillia Sword. then upgrade it one more time and you'll end up with the cronicle sword. it is the second best sword in the game! This sword will take a while to get, but it's worth it.
