Remember all of those treasure chests that you could not access without a certain key? Well, it just so happens that the key is located in the cave of the sleeping dragon. Go get the key and you now have access to all of the treasure chests and the mighty dragon sword. But note that the key will not be there until you have reached the enclosed valley.
APS (Active Playing System)
Your characters may be able to perform special attacks by pressing special button sequences. The only reliable one is rapidly pushing X either:
Before a character is about to attack (resulting in a double attack)
Before a monster is about to attack (resulting in a guard or counterattack)
Before a character recovers from grogginess (resulting in gaining more VP).
Another suggestion is to hit X repeatedly while either holding Up or Down. Holding Up when a blue diamond appears result sin the double attack and Down when the diamond is gold results in the super attack.
Bonus party members and items (Japanese version)
Hold Right and press Circle, Triangle, X , Square, X, Triangle, Circle, X, Circle, Square, Start when "Press Start" appears during the opening sequence.
Double Deadly Attack
For a deadly attack, press X repeatedly as fast as you can until you hear a "kriiing" sound.
Extra Money
This is a way to get extra money if you don't have the correct version for the bug trick. In Daytime Luna, go to the north-east most building. Talk to the first man. When it's a "Mystic Vase" sell it to the other man in the room. If it is any other kind of vase, firedrake, thunder, etc., sell it to the weapons man.
Getting Percy back
You will fight the Black Knight near the end of the game in the Sand Caves just before the exit. This is really Percy. When he attacks, run away. Keep running until the curse is broken and Percy will join the team again.
Infinite Money
This bug allows you to gain as much money as you need. To execute it equip any character with a ring, then sell that ring. You'll receive the money, but the ring will still be equipped and you can sell it again! Repeat as needed. Note: This code is actually a bug in early versions of Beyond the Beyond. It has since been fixed and may not work in your copy.
Making More Money (Japanese version)
If you are equipped with any of the magical rings, go ahead and sell it. However, make sure that it is equipped first. Once you sell it, you will notice that you are still wearing it and you are 7,500 gps richer. Keep on repeating the process until you reach 99,999 gps. Go out and buy stuff.
Resurrection Spell
Take the boat to the north east of Marion, and you will find a alcove of rocks. If you sail to the end of this alcove, you will be able to get off the boat and on the rocks. Travel 1 space east and you will enter a cave. In the cave is a pot. Look in the pot and Merlin the master magician will appear and give one of your characters the Resurrection Spell. Don't forget to look in the flames around the pot. There's some cool stuff in there.
Running away
Tired of fighting those monsters every 3 steps? Then run! Running is quite easy to do in this game and you are not penalized anything for it (except that you gain no exp. points, of course).
Secret Characters
There are at least three secret characters hidden in this game. Here's how to find them: Lorele can be found in the ruined castle of Barbaros. Go through the exit near the priest and head towards the stairs in the back. Push the right walls near the stairs until you find a secret entrance. This will lead you to Lorele.
Percy is the Black Night. All you have to do to get him is NOT fight him for about 15 rounds. He'll run away, but join your party later.
Tont can be found on your way to Simone (to get the counsel of Arawn's high priest). On your way there you pass through a cave maze. At one point you come to a place where there are two doors right next to each other. The right leads to Simone, while the left brings you to another part of the mountain. Climb to the top from the left side, and you will see a large emerald. Pick it up and take it with you. Find your way back onto the right path, and head for Simone. While there, go to the home of the summoner of the west side of town. He will say he needs the jewel you retrieved. Give it to him and watch the sequence. Afterward, a little blob will follow behind you. Try to exit the town to retrieve Tont.
Secret Intro
Before the actual title screen appears, press and hold Up + Triangle to view a cool intro.
The Light Orbs
Ever wonder what those light orbs given by the god's assistant were good for? The orbs can also be used for Speed Traveling: When you've cleared Arawan's Tower and have gotten at least 6 characters, you can travel very quickly to towns and places you've visited. Put the unwanted 6th player in the town you've visited and want to visit. Then get one of your players to use his/her Light Orb. Teleport to the town instantly.
