Forge Metal King Shield: ------------------------ You need a Ruinous Shield, Orihalum, and Saint's Ash as your weapon. Buy Saint's Ash from Dragovian Village after you complete the game once. You can get Orihalum by collecting medals and trade it until the North Island of Peregin princess quay.

Fighting Metal Slimes: ---------------------- The best way to kill Metal Slimes is by using an attack which causing a fatal damage. Lightning ability can attack the enemy with a great power.

This item will help you to open a locked chest. Level Up The Dingaling Method ----------------------------- After you succeed to beat Jargon in Maella Region with a few attacks and Dingaling only caused 1 to 2 HP damage to you, you would get as many XP as you wanted. What you should done is just go around (or Whistle) until you run and found Dingaling. Don't kill Dingaling, you have to kill all the monsters who help Dingaling and left one Dingaling in the battle. You must have a Jessica, Hero, and Angelo defences (if valid) and a help from Yangus Psyche. When Dingaling call for a help, attack with Yangus for a fast kill. Do this repeatedly, Dingaling will also keep calling Jargon for help, you can kill them with one attack. If Dingaling call for help before Yangus have sufficient time to attack, just attack him with your least powerful attack. Forge Timbral of Tension ------------------------ For this item, you'll need Sun Crown, Magic Beast Hide, and Tough Guy Tattoo. The two first item is two of the most hard item to be found. Get Sun Crown by finding Skull Helmet in the second area Heavenly Dias, close to Dragon Skull. Combine with Urn of Saints' Ashes to create it. You can enter Heavenly Dias from extra underground passage and Dragovian Sanctuary. Go to Felix Chateau and use Godbird Stone to land to the item. Alternate Ending ---------------- After beating Rhapthorne, a hidden underground room will be opened and the town will be unlocked. Complete the mission in the secret town to get Argon Ring. Beat Rhapthorne in the other time while completing this item to get a different ending. Faster Alchemy Pot ------------------ What you should have to do this is just an ability to protect yourself from a weak enemy (your character will have this ability to use outside the battle). Put in the ingredients to the chemical pot you'll use, and do the move. This gonna work better in the area of weak enemies compare to your level. With this way there will be no monster attack you. After the move done, walk around until you hear "ting" sound or the move weaken out. If the move weaken out before the whole items complete, just do it again from the start and you can continue to walk around. You have to walk around or this won't work out. The total amount of time to create the item in the alchemy pot depends on the steps to create it, not on the amount of time to create it. Walk around the map needed less time than walk around the town or underground. More Yggsdrasil Leaves ---------------------- During bazaar in Argonia, there is a shop which sell Yggdrasil Leaves, but you can only buy one until you have no more leaves. This game cannot detect the alchemy pot you have. So you can trick it and buy more than one leave. Buy a leave and combine it in your alchemy pot with a magical water or a few red and blue molds. Then you can buy another leave and cancel the process of the alchemy pot to get your first leave. ---------------------------------------------- Submitted by: Andri Agassi [vyszard@gmail.com] ---------------------------------------------- Key: ---- Submitted by: Vikxen Liendholm Thief Key *Will open the chest Unlockable:Iron Nail + Bronze Dagger Magic Key *Will open the door and chest Unlockable:The chest on the Cursed Trodain/Castle Trodain.
