=>Reset Game: To reset the game at any time, hold CNTRL I: [L]+[R]+[SELECT]
and then press [START].
=>Kill Dark Lich: To easily kill the Dark Lich, gather a few fairie walnuts,
and pummel him with Lumina, using it again and again as soon as the girl is
able to cast it. Use the walnuts to refill her energy.
=>Mana Sword: Land Flammie on the island next to the Ice World castle. You
should be in front of Neko. Save with Neko, then reset the game by holding
[L]+[R]+[SELECT] and pressing [START]. Now, start a game in a new save file
and play until you fall into the hole and battle the Mantis Ant. After the
boy says "You've got a sword, don't you? Use it!" and DURING THE BATTLE
SEQUENCE, reset the game by holding [L]+[R]+[SELECT] and pressing [START].
Be sure to hold all the buttons down for about 5 or 6 seconds before
releasing them.
Load your first saved game (where you saved when you meet Neko on the
island) and you will be back in Potos fighting the Mantis Ant. Kill the
Mantis Ant, get the Sword Orb, fly out of Potos and have Watts reforge your
sword again... giving you the Mana Sword.
This can be repeated as often as desired and as soon as you reach Neko
in Ice World, but you must be sure that you do not try to forge the sword
beyond the 9th level, and that you do NOT cast any Mana magic at the end of
the game after doing all this, for that would reduce your sword to the
first level. NOTE: Saving at Neko can be dangerous, and possibly delete
your saved game, due to a bug, so be careful.
=>Easy Level 8 Magic: For the girl, go to the Wind/Water palace and cast lots
of spells on the sprite. For the sprite, go to Neko near the Water palace,
and head into the monster area. Cast non-lethal spells on the Rabbet or
Lulabud, but don't let your magic reach 0. When your MP is low, cast Magic
Absorb on the Lulabud, leave the screen, and return, and you can siphon its
magic again... repeat to refill your magic. Eventually you will gain all
the level 8 magic spells with little danger to yourself.
=>Weird Sleep: Enter an inn and talk to the man at the counter, but make sure
that you are standing at a bit of a diagonal to him. You will sleep with a
small part of your head in the wall.
=>Hidden Face: When you get out of the Mana Fortress, fly south and look in
the water to the right as you go to see a tiny face in it. This is sort of a
sign that Square Soft puts into its games. You can also see this face made
out of the mountains of the moon in Final Fantasy II.
=>Reenter Village: If you ever want to reenter your home village, stand
directly in front of the guards blocking the village and hit U and [SELECT]
over and over until you eventually move to the other side of him. You may
need to have all three party members alive for this to work.
* Please note that this glitch was fixed in later releases of this game.
Thus, it may not work with your cartridge. Sorry.
=>Unlim. Energy: Begin a new game and build your experience level to 25 before
going to Potos Village. When you do go, you will have unlimited energy.
=>Test of Courage: Use Evil Gate at levels 3 to 5.
