Cheat Codes/Hints
No Antidotes?
Well you may know that antidotes are hard to come by, this code is simple but valuable. If you get poisoned without a antidote drink but you do have a stamina drink, go into a nearby pool and drink the stamina drink, then wait until your stamina is gone and you're cured!
Odd Gaffer Secret
When building Norune village, be sure to build Pike's house BEFORE Odd Gaffer's store because if you don't, Odd Gaffer will hurt his back while fixing his sign, which causes him to have not even half as much supplies but if you build Pike's house first, the event will be Pike helping Odd Gaffer with his sign causing him to have a TON of stuff!
Seventh Heaven Secret
You must first get the Seventh Heaven sword and then unlock the Demon Shaft. Go to the one of the first few levels in the Demon Shaft. Equip the Seventh Heaven and you should start finding lots of Crystal Eyes for the Back Levels. I found 5 in the first two levels!
Sun Sword
To get the powerful Sun Sword, complete Toto's house, which requires Toto, Golem, totam pole, and the handle. At the event, Golem will turn himself into the Sun Sword. After a couple of Synthespheres, the Sun Sword is unstoppable!
Tons of FREE Items
This is done in Norune village. The first thing I can tell you (and this is really important in Norune) is to NEVER set up or finish Gaffer's Buggy until you're done with Norune Village. When you put it up, the mayor stops giving you items, and you'll need his items to get this to work. As soon as you get the Hag's house finished, she will store items for you. About 60 in all, I think. The trick is to get the free items from the mayor, and then take them back to be stored. You can do this as much as you want, all the way up to 60 total items. Think about it...if you get 60 repair powders saved up, you can save a lot of money on supplies until much later in the game. This is completely worth restarting the game for, no matter where you are.
Tram Oil Heaven
First of all, you must gain Ungaga as an ally. After you have him, you gotta get or build up to a Terra Sword. It seems that the Terra Sword has a bit of lucky magic in it. After that, go to the Divine Beast Cave and call forth on Ungaga while equipped with the Terra Sword on the either the first, second or third floor. Soon you'll be able to collect a lot of Tram Oils with just a few entries inside the cave. After you got all the tram oil you need, go to the back floors and keep collecting goods! ( I got seven tram oils with just two entries inside the cave! )
Ultimate Dagger
To get the ultimate dagger all you have to do is upgrade it to level 5. Then do status break. You'll get the synth sphere, and your dagger will still be there! Then all you have to do is put the sphere on the original dagger.
Unlock Level Demon Shaft
Beat the game and this new world will be available on your map.
Use Thrust Saber
Tap the directional pad twice forward and let go when in front of enemy and attack.
Weapon Level-Up Tip
If you're into upgrading your weapons and creating Synth Spheres, here's a helpful tip that lets you quickly raise low-level weapons to Level 5 so that you can Limit Break them in a sphere. The problem is of course that fighting tougher enemies with a low-level weapon not only requires you to repair it frequently, but it also takes a long time to defeat the enemy. But why fight with the lower level weapon? Simply pick your most powerful weapon, and quickly defeat the enemy. Now, before the slain enemy vanishes, switch to the weapon you want to upgrade. Since there is a small delay before the WHP for the defeated enemy is added, you can easily build up lesser weapons that aren't suited for the enemies you're fighting -- so that you can turn them into spheres and add their powers to your favorite weapon.
