After you beat the Eye of valmar,everytime when Millenia pops up, you can use her "Spellbinding Eye" Technique to block the movement of the monsters.You can use this on EVERY,monster you like,even on the parts of Valmar!!!But to keep it up you'll have to recover some SP in a while!Have fun!!! Tips: ----- Submitted by: Filip P. * After you get the GranaSaber,before you fight the final battle against Valmar, visit the "Raul Hills" level in the place that looks like a ruined city. * There are new monsters there that are called "Devils",which have damned strong magic that could kill you right away if you don't have at least 3000HP,but which also give a hell of a lot Experience. There are also very cool items like the "Hero's soul", the "Star Egg", a new skill book and other very cool items. * But before you go there make sure that you are at least Level 40 before going there or you will regret ever stepping foot into that place.If you want you can also train there after getting these cool items,and after that even the final battle will be much easier. Oh,and by the way if you see that they are charging up their magic, try to cancel it, because if you are a little low on HP,they'll kill you,because their magic is damned strong(to be exact,it does about 2250-2600 damage points). Alternate game: --------------- Successfully complete the game once, then play again. New items will appear in various locations.

Then with Millenia, play again and he will have great items. Win to get them. Special stage: -------------- To get to the special stage, when you get Roan (King Roan) to be part of your team, exit the Palace. When you get out, there are two places to go to, Raul Hills and the King Roan's palace place in the south. Go to Raul Hills. When you arrive, "Special Stage" will appear. You can train yourself until you are ready to leave. Quicker fights: --------------- Level up your beginning moves, such as Ryudo'sTensaiken Slash, Elena's Impact Bomb, etc. By doing so, using your fully leveled up moves should put you at the Act point on your IP gauge, causing you to surpass your enemies turn. You should also be able to push your enemies back to the beginning of the IP gauge with your move. If done correctly, you can prevent your enemy from attacking and continuously surpass your enemies turn. Rual Hills 1 ruins: ------------------- When entering Raul Hills 1 ruins special stage with the devils, make sure you have saved the game. Also, equip some Revival Gems to all of your characters so that if one of the devils does the "BA-BOOM" move, your party will take about 4,500 damage. The items you can find here are Sonic Belt (+40 ACT), Fairy Egg (no attack spells), Blackquartz Helm, Soul of A Hero (carrying it doubles experience earned), and another item that doubles SP earned.

Once you kill him, he will die but the game will still continue to the next screen where it looks like you lost. It is a good challenge.
