Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World Cheats

First find a Dullcan or Crusader.

Make Sure To have a Philstone Stone and syenzise it into Heart Waren.

Equip it to the Crusader or Dullcan

Then level it up and so it ca evolve..

While those 2 characters can steal there are also monsters who can steal as well.

Axe Beak is a good example, it may be basic but its Leg Sweep attack is a stealing move and it learns Item Getter, a skill that increases the steal success rate of Leg Sweep.

The monsters are only there for you to retry the puzzle, (it turns off the flames). to get to the blue knights side, you have to read the blue knight's journal which is on the left side of the room. I think the order is the scorpion, the gargoyle, the bird, the golem, the wolf, then the plant. But you can make sure by checking the wall on the left area, (you'll need to beat the igniter to come back up though).

If you wanted an ordering call the top left: 1 middle left: 2 bottom left: 3 bottom right:4 middle right:5 top right:6

Then the order would be 3,2,5,6,1,4

their descriptions are as follows:
1: man/beast
2: bad omen
3: stinger/scissors
4: sun/water
5: sharp claws/beak
6: stone

Light every single lamp you see.
Including the onces that were counted as "Decoration" in the last game. then go get the power of darkness and blast those darkness bubbles to high heaven =D

The best way is to go to Meltokio and enter the gold rank coliseum battle like Regal16 said. It's even easier if you have monsters with the skill item finder. (or Presea)
Another way to get Philosopher's Stones is from treasure chests in A or S ranked quests.

The trick to this fight is the field element. I suggest having Emil equip Tenebrae and spam Demon Fang until the main field element becomes dark.

Doing this will make Decus lose his regeneration ability.

Also set your monster strategy to Magic, so whenever Alice tries to heal, your monsters will banzai her and interrupt her spell.

As for Decus, never underestimate the power of Freerun, also try to have Emil hit Decus with an upward slash to knock him into the air. Your Emil should have Sky combo 2 so you can hit a 5 hit aerial combo on him in the air and if you have EX attack 2, you can charge the last hit in the combo to knock him down to the ground so you don't have to worry about him hitting you as you land.

Hope this helps.

Influence COULD be the right word to use, but to answer your question, here's what happens.

When you get a Centurion's core, you also obtain a skill of the same name. That skill, when equipped, takes a certain arte and gives it the elemental attribute of the Centurion.

Other than getting type advantages/disadvantages, the only other useful part I've found of this, is being able to fill up that meter in the bottom left with on element so you can capture a monster.

You must have the Main element on the elemental grid as Dark and atleast one Light minor element on the grid. Also you cannot have any ally with an element which matches the minor or major elements on the grid.

Example of non working set up.
Major=Dark
Minor= Light, Light, Fire, Fire, Water
In your party: Emil, Marta, Genis, Bullfrog

This will not work because Bullfrog will become involved in the attack and ruin the Co Op Attack.

Example of Working set up

Major element = Dark
Minor Element = Light, Light, Dark, Dark, Wind
Party: Emil, Marta, Bullfrog, Wolf

This will work because neither the bullfrog or wolf will get involved and Marta and Emil can do the special.

Marta's best weapon is Kismet, which you get at Gladshiem, and Nether Traitor for Emil at Twlight Palace...

I think.

Defeating bosses get the most grade, so I would recomend doing S rank quests that you think will have a decent boss, kill it, and get the grade. If you have gone all the way to the last few storyline boss battles, that will be the best way. If you can't do any more quests, fight through the colosseum. You will get grade, possibly level up, and get manuscripts to level up your pets. You will not get much grade per battle, but at least you get something to aim for (the manuscripts, items the enemies dop) instead of just running into the same monsters all the time which will get very boring. Since there is no way to check your grade in this, whenever you think you have enough, fight the last boss(es). That should give you good grade. If you go through the colosseum, tell me which type and rank crossbones (the monster) is in.

Oh good you didn't progress too far then.

Once you complete the Iselia ranch event, do the events in Triet and Triet Ruins.

Once you reach the town of Izood (coastal town) save and head back to Hakonesia Peak. There will be a sidequest you can do there with an old friend (or enemy depending on your view).

Doing this sidequest will leave you without Marta and other human allies during the sidequest but it will reopen the Asgard Stone Dais dungeon and a new area hidden within it.

After he points out a few clues, you can open the door that was locked near the entrance to access the Balacruf Mausoleum, and just outside it you'll see a Goliath.

Be careful though, the enemies here are around 20-30 in lvl so don't get careless.

Go to the screen to see your team then go to equip skill and make sure to have "special" and a "Arane arte" Then when fighting a monster hold down b after pressing it

(Also Spoilers For 1st Playthrough people)

On Your SECOND Or More Playthrough On Chapter 8 When Everyone Is Saying goodbye To people and You have to see emil's aunt and uncle in Luin Instead go to Tower Of Salvation to see this cutscene and The Final Time Kratos Can Talk to anyone on earth :(

AT your 1st time to the hakonseia peak place talk to koton,then when you get to the part in the game to go to izoold on your FIRST time there enter and leave go back to the peak emil see's richter choose the first option "go talk to him" then after the chat go to asgard and begin your quest

Obviously the first thing to do is to beat the other monsters first so that you're down to just Windmaster Prime.

Colette is really susceptible to getting KO'd easily, so if you use her it's probably best to keep her back a bit. Marta will likely be spending all her time using First Aid so you're probably going to be down to yourself and one of your monsters (preferably a high leveled one or one with a lot of HP) dishing out most of the damage. I found that the best way to go at him myself was to just run behind and take him down one combo at a time. Windmaster Prime will usually cancel spell casting fairly easily and go straight into a guard, which makes it somewhat easier to avoid spell casting.

So pretty much, have Marta heal, keep Colette back (if you use her), attack with Emil and a high leveled monster, run behind, attack, guard and unison if necessary and you should be able to pull through.

It's also a good idea to be around level 15 or so.

OK when you are in the balacruf ruins and you get to the room with the fans in them. The Middle big blue one that represents the princess becomes an elevator when you turn them on in the right order. Go down the elevator and then find the item Richter is looking for. When you do that just leave and the quest will be over.

There's a big problem with your party. You need Raine to heal. It's VERY hard to do it without Raine.

Okay, I'm trying to do this from memory so bear with me.

While you have the yellow lightning:
From the area with the water filled bottom head up the stairs to the left and go through the door.
Pass through the dark area until you get to a regularly lighted area (the katz and shop are here).
There should be a door on the southern wall that is blocked with a yellow spark. Get rid of it and head into the next area (I think it's another dark room).
When you exit you should be on a ledge above the water room.
Climb down the ladder on the right and proceed further right.
You should get a small cutscene which focuses on a device suspended by rope.
Go back and switch your ring back to the normal fire.
Come back to this area and use the ring on the rope to drop the device on to the machine below.
I believe you should have raised the lightning rod on a similar device before so that you could enter the water.
Head back to that device and deactivate it.
Now head to the machine at the right side of the water room that you dropped the device on.
Activate the device and you should now be able to do the block puzzle in the room with the katz (remember to change back to the yellow lightning)
Afterwards you can make your way down the ramp and to the south to where the red lightning is.

Sorry if any of this is inaccurate, like I said, I'm recalling it from memory.

Well, Ratatosk is fairly easy on normal mode. just avoid his initial skill at the beginning and just perform a combo. at that level, i think emil has sky combo 3. i had tenebrae and aqua on and i did a 12 hit combo in midair, finishing with demon fang or raining fangs. i think you can use items during that fight also. whenever you have a chance, you should use the unison attack unless you want to use a mystic arte. I killed Ratatosk after about 1 unison attack and 4 12-hit combos in the air.

he color of the blocks can only go down the hole with the same color. The colors cycle each time you beat the golem,so it's not that hard to find the color you're looking for.Hope it helps!

you can beat lloyd on mania with really high lved monsters keep marta and emil alive though and when you win you go to lv 30 O.O P.S. You Need Mania mode and 10x exp on or it shall not work O.O

Well go with emil marta zelos and monster of your choice. equip martas special skill and go from there.Martas mystic arte is the way to go. but if that guy starts looking at alice and you hear a sereis of groans then your almost screwed. apple gel marta or if prepared use martas mystic arte
