Hints/Cheats

     If you have gone to the stores, only to find King's Field is sold out, 
     try going to Toys 'R Us, Walmart, or Sears, as they are distributing 
     the title a bit later. For more hints/storyline, see

     Hello,
     
     I'm one of the Game Masters at ASCII Entertainment Software, and I 
     have noticed a lot of questions concerning King's Field. Well I think 
     I'll answer a few of them.  Let's see, to start off I'd like thank the 
     people out there (you know who you are) who have been supporting KF on 
     the various news groups trying to help individuals with problems and 
     hints. I'd also like to show my appreciation to the RPG supporters out 
     there who are stressing their interest in RPG's on the PlayStation.
     
     OK then, I'm just going to spout a bunch of hints, tips and 
     information about KF.
     
     1. Blood stones cure conditions.
     
     2. You can regenerate MP a few different ways: one way is to use a 
     moon stone, dragon fruit or MP water.  There is a certain item you can 
     get which lets your character regenerate HP and MP while you walk.  
     Once you find Seath's fountain fill as many flasks as you have with 
     Healing water. If you have all three streams of water flowing into the 
     fountain it will make gold water that heals all MP, HP and cures 
     conditions (sweet!).
     
     3. There are 2 types of "sealed" doors: ones near the fountain and all 
     the others.  The ones at the fountain open when you have all three 
     waters flowing. The others "unlock" when you have the Dark Slayer 
     sword.
     
     4.Verdite- when used it permanently increases your magic points by 1 
     (I think you're better off selling it).
     
     5. Dragon Fruit - restores MP, HP and conditions.
     
     6. Memory Card blocks used? I was told by From software of Japan (the 
     ones who developed KF) that it required up to 15 blocks to save a 
     game. 
     Whether this is correct or not, I do not know.  I have a character 
     that is level 99 with almost all of the items, and I can fit at least 
     5 to a card.  So you decide.
     
     7. Crystal shards are another form of cash!! 2 crystals can be taken 
     to the crystal crafter and then turned into a flask. Note: Flasks are 
     very important for trading and carrying waters.
     
     8. You are suppose to be shipwrecked on an unfamiliar island and that 
     is why certain items are not explained in the manual. It's all part of 
     the game to find out what things do. Two ways of doing this are, first 
     find the fortune teller, and she'll tell what items are used for. The 
     Second is the Truth Glass.
     
     9. TIP!!!! If you open a door with a Rhombus key, make sure you have 
     another one before you go into that room. If the door closes and it's 
     a dead end your stuck because you don't have a key to open the door 
     from the other side.
     
     10. TIP!!! I can't stress this enough USE YOUR GATES & GATE KEYS. 
     These are very important for exploring.  Reminder: you need 10 MP to 
     use this item. Check the manual if you don't know how to use 'em.
     
     11. You can kill the large Kraken like any thing else. One technique I 
     have found that works well is hit the big boy with a magic and at the 
     same time go in swinging.  If you time it right you shouldn't have 
     much trouble with him. NOTE: If your having trouble killing him you 
     best wait until your levels go up because the creatures in that cave 
     are not a piece of cake.  Basically just wait until your strong 
     enough.
     
     12. Harvine's Flute - Fai has this item. It's used when ever you see 2 
     wind poles.
