If you successfully complete all the Hunters Guild missions, you will have access to all
of the missions all over again. If you complete the mission again, you will be able to
keep playing it repeatedly.

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.
Note: This trick is difficult to execute.

If you are a robot in the game, you can refill your health after receiving damage from an
enemy. Find a safe place to rest and remain in that spot for a least a minute. Your health
meter will go up a little bit at a time.

unlock the hard difficulty setting in both episodes. Achieve a level of 20 to unlock the
hard difficulty setting on-line.

Remain idle at the "Press Start" screen to view two FMV sequences (one when you create a
character and one new sequence). After the background pulses four times, one of the FMV
sequences will start.

When you are in Mine 2, you will probably encounter a Garanz. When he shoots his missile,
run behind him and he will eventually kill himself. Note: You can get extra
experience when this happens.

When in a level with a trap mine field, hold Start and run through. You will not get hurt.

Volt Opt is more difficult than in the Dreamcast version of the game. If you are an
Android, you will get shorted about 8 out of 10 times that he shocks you in his first
form. Kill the center thing that hangs off the ceiling. Once that is down, shocks stop
occurring more often. Shoot Volt Opt in the monitors when you see him. When the poles
appear from the ground, find the red pole and take it out. If not, you will get a nasty
shock that could short you out for awhile. Repeat these steps with 10 Monomates and 10
Dimates and you should be fine. Once his first form is done, he will become a huge red
robot and have multiple attacks (but no more shocking). He usually starts by turning his
missile pods towards you, and fires them after three seconds. You can avoid the missile by
running around Volt Opt (get a 3-hit combo in before he fires them, then run). He will
then turn his laser sights on you. Do another 3-hit combo and run. Keep running and when
you hear him powering up, he will drop a huge pole on you. He does this three times. Yet
again, you can avoid this by running. He will chase you with the laser sights twice. After
that, he will heal himself by about 40. During this time, attack him heavily. He will then
switch over to his front and shoot a floating ball at you. Do not stop running or you will
be imprisoned in dirt wall while he charges up to do his ultimate attack. If you get hit
with this ball in multi-player or online mode, call someone over to. They can get you out
by attacking the dirt walls. Repeat this to defeat him and get good experience.

Note: This will only work in the online version of the game. Basically, drop the
item to be duplicated before the second save happens, then lag the save. To lag the save,
modem adapter users can pick up the phone while the save is occurring. Try doing this with
another character on a different memory card; every time you do this, you run the risk of
having your character data erased. Then, pull out the memory card and quit.

The best place to find rare weapons are at the Dragon (Episode I) under hard mode. You can
find such weapons as Crush Bullets and Musashis. Its recommended that you enter hard mode
at level 30 or high to be effective.

Get a character that can easily kill monsters in the Normal Ruins. Take him, and go
through every Ruins under the normal difficulty setting. You should be able to find, on
average, five materials. Def Materials and Mind Materials are more commonly dropped
because certain creatures seem to drop them more. This is also a good way to improve lower
level characters. Take all material found and give them to that low level character in
Multimode.

If you time the technique Resta correctly, you can avoid almost any attack. The trick is
to just cast Resta before your enemy attacks, but long enough that you can gain life;
otherwise you will just get hit.

You should be about level 15 if you are a Hunter and have Resta, an Autogun, and
Monofluids to restore your MP. When starting the fight, keep shooting at any part of his
body. When he is up in the air and is about to land, get away from him or the rising floor
will hurt you. His first attack on the ground should be an elemental breath attack. It
consists of a fire breath (the weakest one), an ice breath which freezes you (the most
dangerous as you can easily die while you are frozen), and a lightning breath which
paralyzes you for a short while. When he does the breath attack, walk towards him until
you are under his attack and shoot at one of his body parts. He should eventually take
flight again. If he starts spinning in the air, then he is using his elemental ball
attack. Like the breath, it consists of fire, ice (still the most dangerous), and
lightning. During this time, try to evade as many as you can and heal if needed. After
this, he will land again. Keep repeating the previous steps until he roars and goes
underground. When he re-appears, there will be two of him. Fortunately, one of them is a
mirage but it can still hurt you. You can tell if one is a mirage by killing it. When a
mirage dies, you will see a bluish flash and it will disappear. The mirages also have a
lot less HP. If you kill a mirage, the real one will be by itself again. Just keep
attacking and evading as best as you can until it is dead.

While standing in the lobby, hold X and press A to create a chair that matches your

the chair.
