Fun with traps
If you hate waiting around for Rappys to get back up and you are
an Android, set a fire/explosion trap by them. Run to the other
side of the area. As soon as they get up to run, the trap will go
off and you can grab the items.
If you are being attacked by multiple enemies, herd them into a
group then run away from them. When you are about 10 to 15 feet
away from them, set a trap and turn back towards the enemy, so
that the trap is between you and the group. Fire a shot at the
trap to set it off (like the preset traps in most levels). The
effect of your trap will still go off, but you will have a bit
more control over it.
Slip through blocked and laser blocked doors
This trick requires a Saber, Brand, or no weapon at all. Go to a
corner of a blocked or a laser blocked door. Face the corner, then
start attacking. Keep doing this, and you will eventually slip
through the door. This trick is useful for getting to new places
early. This trick is difficult to execute.
Ice break
When you are frozen by an enemy, trap, or Boss, move the
Analog-stick Up and Down, or Left to Right very rapidly to break
free of the ice. This works very well when fighting Bosses with
Ice Element attacks such as the Gol Dragon or Sil Dragon. This
trick also works in battle mode.
Unlimited number of MAGs
At least two controllers are required for this trick. Make
multiple characters and enter cooperative mode. Have one character
drop his or her MAG and the other pick it up. Go back and recreate
the person who dropped the MAG and go through the process again
until you get as many as desired. You can also do this for Meseta.
Getting Al or Pal Rappies to appear
You must have access to the second tier of quests in order to do
this. Select the Fake In Yellow quest and go through the first
three areas with Rappies, killing them off. Once in the fourth
area with Rappies (where you meet the doctor in the Rappy costume
for the second time), there should be a huge amount of Rappies
dropping down. Drop a Telepipe and examine them all to see if any
of them is an Al (or a Pal under the ultimate difficulty setting)
Rappy. If not, enter the pipe to town then quickly return to the
area. The Rappies will drop again. Repeat this procedure until
eventually one of the normal Rappies turns out to be a rare Rappy.
It is recommended that you have the ability to use Ryuker when
doing this, as it is cheaper then going back and forward to pay
for Telepipes (350 each).
Before the room that you usually teleport to in Forest 1 without
the quests, there will be three Rag Rappies that drop down. If you
are level 13+, one of them can turn into an Al Rappy (a Blue Rag Rappy).
FMV sequences
To view two FMV sequences (one when you create a character and one
new sequence), remain idle at the "Press Start" screen. After the
background pulses four times, one of the FMV sequences will start.
Control loading screen
While going online, move the Analog-stick or C-stick to move the
light around the screen. When entering an area, move the
Analog-stick to turn the tunnel or the C-stick to change the tunnel's speed.
When you are loading or leaving a quest, and the loading screen
has appeared (the strange atom), move the Analog-stick to slowly
move the atom or press A to change its color.
Chair in Lobby
Hold X and press A while standing in the lobby to create a chair
that matches your character. Press A to move forwards or use the
Analog-stick to turn. Press B to get rid of the chair.
Avoid walking near traps and enemies
Normally, you cannot run when near a trap or enemy. To avoid this,
press Start to display the main menu. You may now run again.
Avoid mine field damage
When in a level with a trap mine field, hold Start and run
through. You will not get hurt.
Dressing Room
To unlock the Dressing Room, complete all areas and quests under
the normal difficulty setting.
If you have 10,000 Meseta in your inventory, when you load your
character you will be allowed to enter the dressing room to change
your head (Android only), hair color, costume color, and more.
However, you cannot change the proportions or name of your character.
