Hint: Faster results at the fairy village:
Set up the way that you prefer. Leave the village and fight to accumulate battles (about thirty). Then, return and check the message board to view the results.

Hint: Unlimited Life Shards:
Life Shards can increase your HP. To obtain more, get Rei in your party and fight a Gootitan. Use Rei's Pilfer until a Life Shard is obtained. Then, repeat to collect as many shards as desired.

Hint: Unlimited Magic Shards:
To obtain more, get Rei in your party and fight a Revenant. Use Rei's Pilfer until a Magic Shard is obtained. Then, repeat to collect as many shards as desired.

Hint: Coupons:
After getting Momo back when your an adult, go to Dauna Mine. There is a room behind the location where the Dragon Zombie was fought. Have Momo blast the weakened wall at this location to get the coupons inside. Equip it to get a 10% discount on all items that are bought.

Hint: Easily defeat Guardian Gaist:
The confrontation with the sole living guardian besides Garr can be made simpler by getting rid of the two torches on either side of Ryu. At first it seems that they just replenish 25HP to Gaist, however they also make his fire-based attacks much more deadly. Note: For a very easy battle, have Ryu equip something that absorbs Fire-based attacks.

Hint: Easily defeat the Dragon Zombie:
Battling with the Dragon Zombie after Ryu becomes older is almost always a tough battle because of its poisoning ability, Bone Dance. To quickly destroy this monster have Ryu cast all his best heal spells on the creature. This trick will work on any undead creature, except for vampires. Note: Do not use healing items such as herbs or vitamins as they will give HP back to the zombies.

Hint: Control the Kaiser form:
Usually, Ryu will not have control of the Kaiser. Select Infinity + Trance + Radiance for it to work correctly.

Hint: Easy experience:
Later in the game, develop the fairy village until a copy shop is available. Copy an Ivory Dice until twelve of them are created. Use those dice on an enemy during a battle (for example, the Titan Goo's at Syn City area). Depending which enemy is attacked, 20,000 to 80,000 experience points may be obtained. Using the Ivory Dice in battle increases the amount of experience points that are gained. Using it once doubles the points gain, twice quadruples the points gain, and three times multiplies it by eight.

Hint: Easily defeat Ghosts:
Use Heal on the Ghosts in McNeil Manor to defeat them easily. This also is effective on the McNeil boss.

Hint: Hide And Seek, Wyndian Kids:
After Ryu matures, he can be apprenticed to the kids in Wyndia that were in the hide-and-seek game earlier. First, find them in a hide-in-seek game around. They can be found in the following locations.

Bais: In B3 of the Dauna Mine
Lang: Behind a tombstone in the Wyndian cemetery
Lee : In the Eastern Wyndian Checkpoint, in a corner behind the guards
Wynn: In the lower level of Junk Town on the left side

Hint: Free berries:
Go to the coffee shop and kick the tree with the apples. Berries will restore five HPs.

Hint: Master of Agility:
To get the fairie Meryleep to become your master, go east of Wyndia and locate the a spring that is said to be home of the fairies. Have Peco run and knock a rock into the middle of the pool, and a fairie will appear. She will send your character on a mission to get an object stolen from her by a crow. Go to the mountain west of the Arena. Walk behind the mountain and a "?" mark will appear. Enter, then have Peco hit the tree with the crow on it. Take the object back to the fairie and she will offer to be your master. Your agility will go up +2, but HP, Power, and Defense will go down -1.

Hint: Thieving:
While walking around towns and other areas, a few zennys can be stolen. Hit people with your sword and four to six zennys should appear. This may even be done on dogs and other animals.

Hint: Handling the Weretiger:
When Rei rejoins your party he gains the Weretiger spell. However, the he will attack the party at various times. To avoid this, learn the Influence spell at the start of the game from the pink colored Boss Goblin. After Rei rejoins the party, have a slower character use Influence when he morphs into the Weretiger.

Hint: Kill Vulcans in volcano:
The Vulcans in Mt. Zublo are usually very hard to kill. However, they are worth 300 exp a throw, which at that stage in the game is a lot. Use this trick to kill them easily. First, before entering Mt. Zublo, buy a large amount of Molotovs (20-30) from Wyndia. After buying these, go into the volcano. When you meet a Vulcan, get one of your characters to use one Molotov on the Vulcan. It should heal it and the message "Vulcan begins to move!" should appear. After that, destroy it. Ice spells are very effective and the Jump skill (if present) also works
