Tales of Symphonia Hints

Unlocking all of the secret Unison Attacks.

When the Unison Gauge is full in battle, you will be able to let loose Unison Atacks that allow all four party members to let loose one tech each. If two characters within the sequence use the right teachs, a secret Unison Attack can occur after the basic Unison Attack is complete. The following is a list of all of the game's secret Unison Attacks and the necessary techs and characters that unlock them.

Note that the timing or placement of the tech inputs are not important. So long as the right techs appear within the Unison Attack sequence, the secret Unison Attack will occur afterwards regardless. Also note that even though every secret Unison Attack has more than one tech combination for unlocking it, this table only lists one tech combination for each of them. Regardless of which techs you use to unlock the secret Unison Attacks, you only get one version of each secret Unison Attack anyway.

Getting two Gaia Cleavers

You can easily get two of the most powerful weapon for Presea, the Gaia Cleaver. When you are able to get it (after level 80 or when Presea has learned all of her techs in the tree you chose) go to Ozette again and speak to the man next to Presea's dad's grave. He'll give you the Gaia Cleaver. Now, without living that screen, equip it on Presea from the new items menu (not always works from the equip menu) and talk to the man again. He'll give you another Gaia Cleaver

Red Light, Green Light Glitch

When playing Red Light, Green Light in Tethe'alla, press Start when the Sea-Katz begin to turn around. You'll be asked if you want to quit. Select no, and when you go back to the game, Genis will be standing still regardless of whether or not he was in the middle of a move. This is a cheap, easy way to ensure that you never get caught by the Sea-Katz when he turns around.

God Mode

Alright, I found a glitch in ToS, to make yourself completely invincible. To do it, follow the instructions below:
Go into a battle with low HP, and are able to use a unison attack IMMEDIATELY
Now, just as you get hit and loose your remaining HP, quickly unleash your unison attack. Your timing must be perfect.
Now, the character who unleashed the U. Attack will continue the attack with 0 HP, and when the unison attack ends, your character will continue to fight, with 0 HP. You will still take damage from monsters, they just cannot kill you. I dunno if they fixed this for the PS2 version, but thanks to it, I was able to destroy Shadow (The summon spirit) single handedly with Lloyd (To bad Kratos is gone at that time). Also, if you have a healer on your team, MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT HEAL!!! The healer will bring back your HP, and you'll have to do it all over again. Make sure you have characters alive who are not in your attack team, because after the battle, your fighting team will die. If your against a boss you think is invincible, think again!

Complete the game once and save when the game prompts you to do so, restart the game using that same file and the game will tell you to insert Disk 1. Upon doing so, you are taken to a screen where you can purchase various options with GRADE that you may have accumualted over the course of the game.
*You will receive 1000 extra GRADE by beating the last boss.

As you progress through the game, your characters can earn titles for themselves. After earning a title, you can go to the Status screen to change a character's title, which changes their stats and even their clothes in some cases. The following list shows how to get all of Lloyd's secret titles.

Note that this only shows how to get the secret titles you get through special means and side quests, not the titles you receive automatically throughout the main game.

Eternal Sword Glitch

You can wield the Eternal Sword but still have another sword equipped on Lloyd.

Step-by-step
1.Have Lloyd cast Falcons Crest (secret tech) by pressing and holding block (default X), attack (default A), and then tech (default B).
2.While casting a enemy must kill you the easiest way to do this is die and have Sheena cast Purgatory Seal on you so you have no HP then use Falcon's Crest.
3.When you are revived after dying during Falcon's Crest you should be wielding the Eternal Sword.

You all know Luin? That town that was burned at the begining of the game? Well, there is a way to get money fast, rebuild it, and get funny weapons that own. First, go to the temple of earth, go straight, and take a left. There you'll see an enemy. It is a dragon. A VERY weak dragon. kill it and you get 20,000 gald!!! Then, eventually when Luin is rebuilt, You'll see new items in the weapon store (like baseballbat, Deck mop, Moneybag etc.). The only one that isn't good is the paper fans for Lloyd. If you go to the top of Mithos' Castle, you see a chest with a Ninja Sword. It is a bit better. Note, ALL of these weapons cost a lot. Some people claim there are better weapons, and there are. BUT these are really good items.

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)!!

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 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!

Well I do this every time when I'm in battle with them making them partially immortal to any damage.

What you do is:
1. Use Guardian
2. Hurry up when he is using guardian and Cast a spell like Thunder Blade OR Healing Stream
(THIS IS THE GLITCH WHEN THE ENEMY HIT YOU WHILE CASTING THERE WILL BE NO DAMAGE WHAT SO EVER)

[Hint: Won't work for the spell "Judgement"]

3. Hold out on the spell and it will say "Charge" on top of the face of Kratos Or Zelos But Only If you have the EX SKILL: Spell Charge.

4. Look what happen now your just standing in place and still no damage from the enemy. Now you can use any combo on them and after you cast out your spell etc. The Glitch will be gone and your back to yourself getting hit again and taking damage. Then Do it Again and choose which ever spell you want.

5. Though you can use as much as you want in battle. This really help me out when I battle Abyssion all by my self with only Kratos AS ME and Sheena Only Alive. Sheena couldn't really revive a lot and right in the middle of battle I figure out how to use it, I manage to beat him at Mania Mode and revive Genis and Raine. I finished him off with a Prism Star. And It was the first time I battle him in Mania Mode.

{Kratos:lvl 78, Sheena:lvl 75, Genis:lvl 79, Raine:lvl 78}

Hope I was Helpful! Reply If You Want.

In Battle, the main thing you want to do is protect your magicians Right

SO Equip Raine With These Items

(Devil Arm wpn from Abysson make her attacks from 200 attacks to 1350-2600)

Armor: Spirit Robe
Guards: Every Element
(Get It After Defeating Maxwell)

Head Ass.: Element Circlet
Guard: Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth
(Actually you can get 2 of these from Seles before Zelos dies and after when You Go in a single match in advanced class)
Hint: Prefer Kratos Or Sheena to fight her

Hand Ass: Penguin gloves
Guard: Ice
(From the old man in the jewel shop at Flanior)

Ass. 1: Reflect Rings
Guard: Every Element
(You Can Get it from Origin)
Hint: You can also get more relfect rings and force rings in the UnderWorld Book at Sybak But It will only appear in there after you talk to the elf in Heimdall when its destroyed then will it appear.

Ass. 2: Persian Boots
Guard: Every Element and Reduces Physical Damage
(Its from when you complete the UnderWorld Book but you don't have to brun the flame if you want to go back in there and get more force rings and get rune bottles to change it to reflect rings or keep them the same.)

You Will See This On Status Of Her

Water:Absorb Lightning:Resist

Wind:Absorb Earth:Absorb

Fire:Absorb Ice:Abosrb

Light:Resist Darkness:Resist

Absorb: "It Heals You"
Resist: "Does No damage to you"

It would be really helpful in boss battles espicially abyssion, Mithos, and the expedition match

If you want to reply go ahead Hope I was helpful

I beat Meredy, Farah, Garr and the whole Advanced Class at Mania Mode

Seriously All By Myself
but you have to really be stacked on every item that heals when you get to the expedition match expecially Life Bottles

I didn't really care about what items I put on Kratos and Sheena accept with their latest stuff and gave them 2 thunder capes, Sheena the other Element Circlet:(guard fire, water, earth, wind) Because Without Raine I didn't know how I would have made it through the matches.

I attached Raine with the Spirit Robe, Element Circlet, Penguin Gloves, Reflect Ring, and the Persian Boots. Which made her almost Invinceable against meredy spells and Garr's Scissor Slicer. And I was resistant against every element.

"She Would Absorb": fire, water, ice, earth, and wind(Mainly heal her when it hits her)
"She Would Resist": lightning, darkness, and light(Would do no damage against her)

Raine Ex Skill:Concentrate

Sheena Ex Skill: Dash, Spell caster Of course to cast out the summon spirits. And gave her the jet boots and mystic symbol when ever raine dies and I or her need to get away from the monsters and revive raine quicker in the regular advanced classes.

Kratos:Concentrate- Before sheena revive me I tell him to use first aid on me before I die, and hold down L So When sheena revives me I let go of L I will get health already.

I couldn't believe it when I did it to and I almost died in that battle with raine at 1HP when she hit the ground I hurry up when I got up and gave a life bottle to sheena, and told her to revive me when I died and I gave a life to kratos (Avoiding gettting hit) for him to heal me with first aid and with a lemon gel. I WAS BACK IN THE GAME.

Hope I was helpful!
YOU DON'T BELIEVE GO AHEAD AND DO IT YOURSELF AND WATCH WHAT HAPPENS. Remember if players are with you Put "RAINE" As First Player so that every one can see the field while your in the back spellcasting or healing. This was in the gamecube version of US.

There is a secret area that is HARDER than Abbyson. To get there, get the sacred stone from Vinheim (Mithos' Castle). Then go to Sybak. In the library on one of the shelves near the upper-right-hand corner, there is a book with an exsphere. When the cut-scene is over, go to Heimdall (elf place after torrent forest). Then talk to one of the elves near the windmill. He will talk about the relation between the sacred stone and the book. After that, go back to sybak and go to the book. Origin will give you a breif warning about this place. Heed his warning, this is the hardest place in the game. You WILL lose if you can't think fast and move quick (or stand still). There is something called soulfire that is basically what lets you keep going through the underworld inside of the book. If you stand still, your fine. That's all i will tell you. If you need more help, email me at fuzzybunnykills@rock.com. Have fun

P.S. This place contains all of the monsters from tethe-alla.
P.S.S NO SPAM!

If you begin the Devil's Arm Quest, After a few Devil's Arm's, go to Altimira and sleep at the inn. Say yes that you want to go out at night. Head to the Casino Area. Go on the bridge and you will see a young man. He says he will sell you a kendama for 1,000 Gald. Say yes and then check your Gald. You actually spent 0 Gald!

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.

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.
