Enter the Lezareno Company HQ at Altamira and speak to George in the presiden'ts office. The company needs a new mascot, and Presea fits the costume. Presea obtains the "Dream Traveler" title. When this title is equipped, Presea dresses like Klonoa from videogame of the same name.

You are able to cook throughout the game by gathering ingredients. Cooking is another way to recover lost HP and TP, and to cure Status Effects that inhibit combat prowess. Since meals affect all the characters in the party, cooking is a better method of recover than using most items!

Several requirements must be fulfilled to cook. The party must possess food items to use as ingredients, and the recipe to cook a meal must be understood. The choice of cook is also important, since some characters are better at cooking certain dishes than others. Make sure and fill up each character's cooking skill to increase the effect of cooking!

You can cook after battles, or between battles. Ingredients are obtained from defeating enemies, or can be bought in the various towns you will visit.

To unlock recipes, look at various objects that seem out of place. The wonder chef will pop out and teach you a new recipe!

Available: After defeating Rodyle at the Remote Island Human Ranch

The party is taken to Palmacosta and then on to the Sylvarant Base. From there, fly to Hima and enter the town. The scene seems to show that Yuan is looking for something, but he eschews them. Go to the summit of Fooji Mountains where you discover that Yuan is looking for a ring. Head to the Palmacoasta Human Ranch after completing Latheon Gorge and speaking with the Elven Storyteller. Lloyd finds Yuan there and gives him the ring.

To change characters in the middle of battle, pause the game on battle menu and press the Z button to change the manual character. This will not change the battle formations you have set, however.

(Note: this is based off of default settings)

This is the customization shop list for Fighting Spirit in the enhanced version of Luin - after you've restored the town.

The first column gives the item name and the weapon / armor type. The second column gives the required items to forge the weapon / armor.

EX level determines the level of EX gem required to use a given skill. Ex gems are also acquired in the adventure, and more can be purchased from Ktz in certain towns by spending Grade Points earned in battle.

S(trike) or T(echnical), determines a character's personal S or T rating. Equipping multiple high-level S or T skills shifts a character more towards one type or the other.

Effects: Most EX skill abilities are passive, combat-enhancing effects. Some have other effects, such as the handy Personal ability of Lloyd to increase movement speed in towns and dungeons. Equipping multiple EX skills can lead to the character's discovery of Compound EX Skills during battle.

Description: "You get stronger as you drink more...maybe. A title for you who used a lot of potions.

Conditions: Use potions more than 5 times on Regal during battle.

Note: Can be done on Autobat

Description: "Hunting down the same race of monster over and over. A title befitting of a hunter like you."

Conditions: Battle over 5 times with the same Monster Type. Works in field or in dungeons.

Note: Can be done on Autobat.

Description: "A hero's title that starts with three Green Slimes. Be careful not to get ZAP."

Conditions: Equip Excalibur, Golden Helm, Golden Armor, Hyper Gauntlet, or Blue Shield and finish a battle.

Note: Can be done on Autobat.

Description: "Shortcuts to do this, do that...The title for the one who loves giving orders."

Conditions: Use 10 shortcuts during battle. (Control Pad)

Note: Cannot be obtained when using Autobat.

Description: "The countless miracles come naturally. Is it okay to make a hole in the wall at school?"

Equip Sheena with the Card of Lightning (found in the Meltokio Sewers or bought in Mizuho), the Thunder Cape (found in the Toize Valley Mine), and a Paralysis Charm (dropped by Iapyx or bought in Asgard). This will make her immune to lightning, which is the only type of damage Volt deals. The downside to this is that Sheena will also deal lightning damage, which heals Volt. Either use any color quartz item (except purple) or have Sheena use S. Seal: Water on herself to change her attack attribute to something else. Now you can just walk up to Volt and smack him around while he futilely attempts to zap you. These remedies are temporary and will wear off, though, so watch the numbers showing the damage you do. When they turn green, Volt is getting healed and you need to change your attack attribute again. To keep your other characters safe and out of harm's way, set their third strategy option to Hold Position.

After you've obtained the sacred stone key item in Mithos's castle, go to Sybak, and examine the weird red book with an exsphere in one of the bookshelves at the library, then go to Heimdall and talk to the man near the windmill, after that, go back to Sybak and check the red book again, you will then enter the cursed book of niflheim, the most difficult dungeon in the game.

Tech glitch allows you to have T-type and S-type techs at the same time.
This is how it works: (for example)

1. Put Lloyd to the first place of your party and set Genis' Eruption to Lloyd's C-stick shortcut.
2. Switch Lloyd out of your party.
3. Have Genis forgot his Eruption and switch him to S-type. Then battle until he learns Flame Lance.
4. Switch Genis back to T-type.
5. Save the game! (Do not save or look at the tech list after this)
6. Now put Lloyd back to the first place of your party.
7. Go to battle and use that Eruption shortcut with Lloyd. Genis must relearn Explosion during this battle, if not, Eruption shortcut from C-stick is gone.
8. And if you didn't succeed, repeat from the step 5. If you succeed you have now both Genis' Explosion and Flame Lance.

After Corrine has already died and you have defeated the Dark Dragon and walked through the doors in Mitho's Castle, go all the way back to Iselia. Once there you should see a skit involving Sheena hearing Corrine talking to her. After that go to the Temple Of Martel. Once there go to the place where you first met the angel. When you enter the area you should see a secret scene with Corrine in his true form.

Go to Exire. Go behind elder's house (it looks same as the other houses but it's above few steps). Walk forward a narrow path until you arrive to a grave-looking stone. Equip Ruby, Aquamarine, Opal and Garnet to your first four characters and then examine the stone.

Maxwell:
HP: 60 000 TP: 800
EXP: 10 800 Gald: 8250
Strengths: none
Weaknesses: none
Techs: Dreaded Wave, Raging Mist, Gravity Well, Meteor Storm

This is a king of all Summon Spirits and you must have a Derris Emblem to battle him. When he uses Meteor Storm, use guard tech three times to guard it. You can evade other techs like normally. Maxwell isn't very hard, so this battle shouldn't be a problem. Recommended level for this is 60-65.

You can activate scenes where Kratos trains Lloyd. You can activate those by doing these things:

1. When you arrive to Palmacosta, talk to a soldier on the right side of Dorr's building.
2. When you've defeated the Windmaster and you get Raine back to your party, go to an inn where you have to pay 400 Gald per night.
3. After you escape from Asgard ranch and you go to Luin, go to that part of the town where was the inn. Talk to a man who stands outside a broken house.
4. In Hima, before you're going to the Tower of Salvation, talk to Kratos two times.

You have to activate first to do second, second to do third and third to do the last.

Elixers is the godly medicine because it restores 100% HP and TP for a character. There is a way to obtain a max amount of these. Every time you beat Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced class in the Meltokio Colloseum, you will get one Elixer. Repeat Beginners class to save time over and over until you have max Elixer.

You can get so many All-divides you can carry. Here's the description how to get them:

1. Go to fight Fake. You can find fakes from three different places. Triet Ruins: When you enter there, go left and then north. There's a treasure chest and it's Fake. Meltokio Sewers: Very near the end. You can't miss it. Latheon Gorge: When you enter the cave, there's a tresure chest very near the entrance.
2. Make sure Colette is in your party and has elemental weapon or gem.
3. Use Item Thief/Rover to stole an All-divide.
4. Make sure you don't kill the Fake. If you do, that Fake is gone and doesn't come back.
5. Escape from the battle.
6. Enter it again and repeat this.

This way you can get so many All-divides as you want or you can carry. You can steal an All-divide from Fake as many times as you want. Just make sure Colette has elemental weapon/gem equipped and Fake doesn't die.

Though Zelos may be incredibly vain and idiotic, he does have a way with the ladies. Make Zelos your onscreen avatar, have his Personal EX Skill equipped, then talk to any of the female townspeople that you meet during your travels. They'll usually give you some Gald or an item.

In the top-left corner of Flanoir, there are three statues. Look closely, and you can see that one of them is of Namco's oldest mascot, Pac-Man!

After clearing 'Party Advanced Level' in the arena, there will be an Exhibition match with characters from other Tales games, and they are Garr, Farah Oersted and Meredy.

In Toize valley mine you will find an white square as an enemy. That is Bacura the invincible block of Xevious, Namco's famous game( released in 1982)!!
