The Bard's Tale Cheats

Every once in a while the knight will say "you have been found wanting".

The Knight summon occasionally says "Thou hast been served". Additionally, in the basement of the Scotsman's castle, a group of zombies will have a breakdance contest with a group of skeletons. When the skeletons win, the head one says "You got served", to which the Bard responds "What the hell?!"

Here you go, cheats! Since you can't beat that boss without dying, I have God mode for you (among others)
God mode-
(Hold L1 and R1 the whole time) Press (on the D-pad) R, L, R, L, U, D, U, D
To find other cheats, hold the top shoulder buttons and fiddle around with patterns like that. I know of "Can't Be Struck" and "Damage x100". I'm not sure if there are any others. BY THE WAY, these are entered during gameplay, so you have to enter them each time you load a save.
Enjoy.

In the starting town (Houton), find the little black-and-white dog sitting by the path and talk to it. Choose to be "nice" to it and it will join you permanently. The dog acts like a combat "Summon" (similar to the basic Rat), but with the following bonuses: (a) He does not use up a "Summon" slot to use, as he's always "active", (b) He doesn't use up any Mana, and (c) he never dies. If the Dog takes enough damage to be "killed", he simply gets stunned for a short while, then wakes up, good as new. Note that the Dog will not engage in combat when you first get him.Once you have the Dog, you will be able to select a new Talent called "Dog Training" the next time you have the option do do so upon leveling up. If you learn this Talent, the Dog will switch from simply following you around and digging up the occasional bone to Fighting like any other melee Summon. He is aggressive and fast, and is good at keeping enemies still (by engaging them) so you can snipe them with your bow from long range. He also gets a little spiked collar at the same time.
