Hidden area:
Collect Dark Crystals during the game by killing various monsters. Go to a Save Crystal and enter the item screen. Use a Dark Crystal to go to the Shadow Tower.


Easy stat increase:
When playing as Sharline in the area before the research lab, find the Save Crystal under the cliff by Royal Commons. There is a plant creature that always gives you a Blue Fruit there. You can attain maximum stats early by killing the plant/monster, then go into the shop. After entering the shop, all enemies in the area are respawned.


When playing as for Sharline, in the middle of sky tower there is an icy area on the third floor near the elevator. One of the big pink guys is located here. Kill him and he will drop a red fruit. Each time you kill him, another one will appear. Kill him nine times, then return to the save crystal and return. Repeat this as needed.


When you begin your adventure as Darius, make your way to the first Save Crystal you find. When you go through the "stone doorway" that is next to it, a bee-type enemy will appear. Kill it, and it will drop a Blue Fruit. Blue Fruits give you 5 points to add to your stats. Return to the Save Crystal, then use it to enter the store. Walk out of the store, return to the bee, and kill it again. It should drop another Blue Fruit. Repeat this as many times as needed. This trick can be done wherever there is a Blue/Red Fruit near a Save Crystal.


Easy money:
While playing as Darius, in the shrine under the castle there is a Save Crystal. Continue down the walkway you will fight a giant stone monster. Go left or right from that room you can find as many as four of these opponents. There is a good chance that they will drop a Palmira Ore, which sells for 1,000. They also drop Red Fruits on occasion, which also makes this location a good place to increase Darius" stats and equipment levels.


Darkforge Armor:
In Darius"s story, you have to fight a monster that appears in the cultivation room. After you defeat this monster, the ground begins to shake and you go to the underground shrine. When enter, you will find a save crystal -- hopefully you have enough money to buy it. Enter the shop, go to the armor and purchase it. This is the best armor and greatly increases strength.


Defender Sword:
In Darius" story, when you get into the coliseum and defeat the Boss, he will slam his sword into the ground and cause an avalanche. This will cause both of you to plummet downward. When you get on your feet, turn around and you will see a sword on the floor. Pick it up. It is the Boss" Defender Sword that he dropped after the fall.


Degulta:
when you are transported to the coliseum in Darius"s story, do not go inside yet. Instead, walk around the outside. You will encounter a monster with a Degulta. Defeat it to get it -- if you do not get it, you fought the wrong monster.


Heavenly Axe:
In Darius" story, when you get to the abandoned road and defeat Djin, a bridge will apear. Go across the bridge and follow the path. You will enter a room with Sienna. Do not talk to her yet. Instead, turn right and pick up the Heavenly Axe.
