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.
Charge Attack
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.
Chocobo Scene
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.
Defeating Julian
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.
Dodge all attacks
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.
Easy experience
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.
Escape The Mana Shrine
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.
Expert enemies
Kill over 1,000 of the same enemy to replace it with an much more difficult black version of it in future encounters.
Fake Bait
This is difficult to do, but it works if activated correctly. If a Magic detecting monster is coming, switch to your knucks and use a magic move, make it miss the magic detector and hit it from behind. You will have about 5 seconds to run. He will be focused on where the attack came from. Thinking it came from behind, he should walk away for a bit.
Heal dead allies
If your ally is dead, simply save at a Mana statue. Then heal him with an Angel Grail. Go to another room and get killed by monsters, and you'll end up back at the statue, with your ally alive. Check your inventory: it'll say you didn't use an Angel Grail at all!
Level up spirits fast
Every time you deal damage to a creature (even 0) you momentaraly stun them and you gain magic Exp. durring that stun time you cannot hurt them, so even if you are using the Knucks to cast spells you can only hurt them 3 times max. But that doesn't happen with bosses, so fell free to abuse them with magic that they are immune to and watch how fast your level increases.
Magic Rope
Use the Magic Rope to the last Goddess Statue visited.
