Cheat Codes

Dhoulmagus Battle

When you very first begin the fight with dhoulmagus, you should instantly switch the battle functions of Yagun, Angelo and Jessica to fight wisely, or have Angelo and Yangus focus on healing and keep Jessica under your control.


This battle is a very long one and can take up to an hour to complete at lvl 33 to 38. Having all three characters fight on their own can get them killed if they are not properly levelled.


Constantly cast mid heal or full heal depending on how much damage is done to each character. Dont focus on psyching up, its pointless. Keep all your characters equipped with single-ememy attacking capabilities.


Hero: Falcon Blade or better


Jessica: Dragon Tail Whip or better


Yagus: Steel Sycth or better


Angelo: Dream Blade or better


Do not use spears, boomeranges, daggers or hammers. Focus on healing and ability attacks and the battle should be won easily.

Hint Alko Speed

For alchemical processes, the game measures the distance your buttwad hero travels. To speed up the concoction, do your alchemical mix and locate a house or space where your hero can walk against the wall or corner. Tilt the joystick off center to get your hero moving and keep it steady. You can use rubber bands, an eraser, paper clips, or just rest your PS2 controller on its "legs" and flip it so the sticks are kept off center to do this.


Now you can leave it and do something else (like your homework). When you come back, your mixture will be finished done. Most mixes takes only about 3 to 4 minutes real time using this method.
