Cheat Codes/Hints
Get the Ultimate sword
After you beat the game the Demon Shaft opens up. The Demon Shaft is an incredible hard dugeon. It has 100 levels and they get harder the farther you go. At the end you have to fight the black night but after you wound him a light shoot from the sky and kills him. From that light the Chronicle2 sword appears.
How to beat Joe in one hit
First, you need the sun sword. Then, evolve it two stages to get Zeus's sword. Get the sword to full attack. Give yourself a stamina drink and put your sword on the highest element you have. Finally, give him a one-hit KO.
How to Beat the Dark Genie
The Dark Genie has 3 phases. For the first phase you use either Toan or Ruby with their best weapons with the highest attribute in all the elements. Eventually two handswill pop out of the ground, when this happens look at the color of the hand and match an attribute with the color. Now,for phase two you should use Ruby with a weapon that has the Holy attribute. Also watch out for his cheap shots. Just make sure your health is over 60 when he does it. For phase three you should use Toan and attack the jewel in his mouth.
How to beat the King's Curse
First, use Ungaga's whirlwind special to blow away the black. Then, use your strongest weapon for Toan and do a special attack. Repeat the process. After you win, the temple will start collapsing and you will go through a difficult duel to get on the Moon Ship. Good Luck.
How to catch the Maryan Garayan and Maryan Garayan's Secret
The first thing you need is a poison apple, use that as bait and fish at the water fall in Matataki Village during the night if you r successfull then you should get the Maryan Gatyan and alot of fishing points.( you might have to wait a little while) When you catch Maryan Garayan go to a chest protected by a trap. Try to guess the trap. It will say "Maryan Garayan shows the right path." and when you choose the trap, the trap will be flashing red and have a picture of M.G. by it. Also I'm not sure about this: "He might disable the trap directly".
How To Get Rare Weapons
When you beat The Moon Sea and go to Dark Heaven Castle, go to the first floor (5 years ago) and find a big chest. If it's not the clown, then it's usually a rare weapon like the Lamb Sword.
Jack's Store Secret
In Queens, be sure to complete the King's house first to get the genie, Ruby, as an ally. After this, complete Jack's weapons store, but he won't give you a gift if you go in without Ruby in your party. If you have Ruby though, he will give you the Platnum Ring and a hammer with a money making ability!
Kill Statues Early in the Game
You must have Xaio and a repair powder. First, find a statue. Then press O to lock on. Get a reasonable distance from it. And go rapid-fire. You will need to use a repair powder. !!YOU MUST USE XAIO!! Or just use a magical item.
Lamb Sword's Secret Ability
First you must get the Lamb Sword (the only way to get it is to build up the Wise Owl Sword).
Next you must get your WHP low, you will know it is low enough, because it will say at the bottom right corner, "The Lamb Sword got scared so it went into Wolf Mode". When it goes into that it raises it's stats.
Note: It will go back to regular mode when you do an "Upgrade" or "Repair" it.
Hint: The Lamb Sword evolves into the Atlamillia Sword which evolves into the Chronicle Sword, the 2nd best sword in the game (The Chronicle 2 Sword which you find at the end of the Demon Shaft)
More facts about the Maryan Garayan fish
If you look further down this page, you will see something about the Maryan Garayan fish. I found more facts to add on to that cheat.
The First Thing is:theres another way to catch one.First you need to have beaten the Sun & Moon temple.Second is that you need a potato cake.Now,go to the Oasis in Muska Racka.You should see four fish spread out.Go for the biggest one.The Maryan Garayan is about 2 inches from the fishing sign.If it's not the right size then quit fishing,goto the sign,and fish again.If you noticed the fish will be different sizes,repeat this until you get the Maryan Garayan fish.
The Second Thing is:the Maryan Garayan is a very patient fish. It won't just swim over and grab the bait,it will go over,touch it,and stare at it for awile.So since theres four fish,get four potato cakes or try avoiding the others.When the M.G. pulls the floater under water,then pull it up and congratulations you just made over 500 Fishing Points.
