Unlock Demon Shaft dungeon

After you have finished the game, you save the game. After saving, when you reload your game, a new location will appear on the world map. This location is the Demon Shaft, an extremely hard dungeon, with 100 floors.

Beat Black Pendragon

When fighting the Black Pendragon at the end of the Demon Shaft, only attack with one hit then retreat. If you attempt a combo he will counter and cause your sword, no matter how powerful, to instantly break. Save immediately before you attempt to battle him, to avoid losing any precious weapons such as a Chronicle Sword.

Beat Rockonoff

When you fight a Rockonoff in the first dungeon, use Xiao and any slingshot. Keep your distance from it with Dran's Feather. When you get far enough, press R2 to go into first person view and start shooting. It will not move if you position yourself correctly.

Boss clues

When fighting a Boss, use Xiao with Steve. Steve will talk and give hints on how to defeat the Bosses.

Get easy money

You can sell fishing bait and useless items such as Bombs, Fire Gems, Ice Gems, etc. However, fishing bait sells for more money. When you die in the dungeon without stand in powder, you have to pay half of your money. To prevent this, just use your money to buy gold bullion. They cost 1,000 and you can sell them for 1,000. If you have over 10,000 in gilda or bullion, step in a vortex and you get will get "increased money". Your gilda will increase by 10,000. Go to the first floor of the Divine Beast Cave and kill some monsters. Use Xiao with her Bandit Slingshot. Sometimes, you will get a Crysknife, or a similar weapon. Get money by killing monsters and selling fishing bait and weapons.

Free items

If you do not build Old Gaffer's Buggy, you may still get free items from the mayor and build your weapons up very high to get ready for the second village, Matataki Village. Note: This will take some time, but is worth the effort. When you get low on health and your sword is about to break, from the Divine Beast Cave go to the mayor's house in Norune village. He will give you some items to help you. When you build the hag's house she will store items for you. Get the items from the mayor and store it in the hag's house. Keep repeating this until you are ready for Matataki village. Note: If you build Old Gaffer's Buggy then you cannot get any more items from the mayor.

Finding treasure chests in villages

Once you are in a village, choose Georama mode and skim through the area. You can spot treasure chests around the area quicker this way.

Building the Moon Factory

Look on page 34 in the instruction manual for a picture of how your completed Mecha should look like. Building it otherwise will not let you advance through the story.

More items in Old Gaffer's Buggy

In Norune Village, you can get more items in Old Gaffer's Buggy. To do this, you must build Pike's house before building Gaffer's Buggy. Then Pike will help Gaffer put up the sign, he will not break his back, and he will have a lot more items in the store. However, if you do not do this and Gaffer breaks his back, his store will only contain a few items.
