Secrets
Secret Item Crush
To use this special Item Crush, you must satisfy the following requirements:
1. Have 100 Hearts (NOT Heart Items) or more.
2. Do NOT have ANY subweapons at all! *IMPORTANT*
3*. Have the Pluto and Salamander DSS cards.
*If you know how to perform the DSS trick, then disregard requirement #3.*
Once these requirements are satisfied, activate the Item Crush DSS (Pluto +
Salamander), then, perform the actions needed to use it (Down, Forward, Up).
Nathan will then unleash a barrage of homing stars that cause considerable d
amage against enemies, depending on his Strength level, so to strengthen it, use
Strength-increasing items (this can also be done once this Item Crush is activa
ted).
Glitches
How to use DSS in the Battle Arena
This trick works best if you are over level 50, and have at least 10-15 Mind
Highs or better.
1. Enter the Battle Arena with a Summon Combo equipped on your DSS button (U
ranus + Cocatrice works best).
2. When you want to use your DSS cards, go to ''Items'' on the Pause Menu. U
se a Mind High (or better, if you have it).
3. IMMEDIATLY after exiting the Pause Menu, hit the DSS button to prepare, a
nd then quickly hit the Summon Combo off (down, forward, up, attack). You'll hav
e used a Summon inside the Battle Arena!
Secret DSS powerup
This powerup works best on a summon, but you can also do it on whips, swords
, etc... Summon for example thunderbird. When you fly in the air, pause and swit
ch to Mars+Black Dog (gives the best strength). The summon will be way more powe
rful! Good for killing hard enemies (Mimic Candle, Lilith, etc...)
Keep killing the Battle Arena Devil
When at the end of the Batlle Arena, where you get the Shinning Armor, Keep
distance from the left wall and slide through the gap from a distance that you g
on't fall out of it. You'll be at the entrance of the BA. Turn right and slide b
ack in. The doors will be open. Keep killing until your health is low. You shoul
d gain a lot of exp. from the BA devil!
Use any DSS combo without getting the cards
1.) Select a DSS combo that you have.
2.) Activate it.
3.) As Nathan begins to glow, quickly pause.
4.) Now select any DSS combo, choosing cards from empty slots.
5.) Now instead of the DSS combo you first activated, you will get the new o
ne you chose.
Play battle Arena over and over
When you finish the battle arena and your in the Shinning armor room, just s
tand halfway towards the exit, slide out, then back in again, and all the doors
will be open! Now you can do the entire battle arena again. This is good to get
exp., items, and cards.
Note: If you go through the arena the normal way, the doors will close behin
d you.
Cure Poison or Curse Without Antidote or Cure Curse
You must have the Black Dog and Jupiter cards. When you are poisoned or curs
ed activate the Black Dog and Jupiter DSS combo. As soon as you activate it, dea
ctivate it. You will now be poison or curse free.
Negative Magic
This glitch makes Nathan go into Negative magic.
To do this:
1. Perform the trick to activate a DSS combo that is missing one or two card
s (Activate a combo you already have, then while Nathan flashes during activatio
n, goto the DSS screen and pick any combination you desire).
2. Make sure the incomplete combo you use works on use, NOT time (Like a sum
mon, or whip).
3. Use the combo until you run out of magic.
If you did it right, and you had few enough ''excess'' magic left after you
used the combo and ran out of magic, you should go into negative MP. You know fo
r sure you did this right when you can goto the status screen and see that your
MP is replaced with non-numerical characters (Like parenthesis, and |'s). Also,
what this does is make you have to wait like normal until you go into positive M
P, before you can activate any DSS combo again.
99990 attack power
1) Equip items with a combined strength penalty that is equal to or greater
than your strength. While the game will indicate that you have 1 strength, actua
lly having 1 strength is not enough to activate this glitch.
2) Activate the DSS card combo of your choice. Doesn't matter what it is - a
ny DSS card combo will activate the glitch.
Once both conditions are met, attack power will instantly be raised to 99990
while both conditions hold true. While the game says that attack power is 9999,
spinning the whip, which normally does 1/10th as much damage as striking with i
t, will also do 9999 damage when it hits, as if attack power was 99990 or higher
. Unfortunately, actually using this glitch is basically impossible, due to the
first requirement. The maximum attack power that you can have and still perform
this trick is 210 (2 bear rings + dark armor), and, by the time you get these it
ems, attack power will probably be far higher. Still, if you can pull it off, it
's quite useful
Shield with no MP consumption
1. Activate a shield (one using the Jupiter DSS card).
2. Enter a save location, and save your game, not turning off your shield.
3. Exit the save location, and your shield should still be going, with no co
nsumption of your MP!
