Secret - Getting Two Gaia Cleavers
Getting two Gaia Cleavers

You can easily get two of the most powerful weapon for Presea, the Gaia Cleaver. When you are able to get it (after level 80 or when Presea has learned all of her techs in the tree you chose) go to Ozette again and speak to the man next to Presea's dad's grave. He'll give you the Gaia Cleaver. Now, without living that screen, equip it on Presea from the new items menu (not always works from the equip menu) and talk to the man again. He'll give you another Gaia Cleaver

Secret - God Mode
God Mode

Alright, I found a glitch in ToS, to make yourself completely invincible. To do it, follow the instructions below:
Go into a battle with low HP, and are able to use a unison attack IMMEDIATELY
Now, just as you get hit and loose your remaining HP, quickly unleash your unison attack. Your timing must be perfect.
Now, the character who unleashed the U. Attack will continue the attack with 0 HP, and when the unison attack ends, your character will continue to fight, with 0 HP. You will still take damage from monsters, they just cannot kill you. I dunno if they fixed this for the PS2 version, but thanks to it, I was able to destroy Shadow (The summon spirit) single handedly with Lloyd (To bad Kratos is gone at that time). Also, if you have a healer on your team, MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT HEAL!!! The healer will bring back your HP, and you'll have to do it all over again. Make sure you have characters alive who are not in your attack team, because after the battle, your fighting team will die. If your against a boss you think is invincible, think again!

Secret - Raine Invincibility
In Battle, the main thing you want to do is protect your magicians Right

SO Equip Raine With These Items

(Devil Arm wpn from Abysson make her attacks from 200 attacks to 1350-2600)

Armor: Spirit Robe
Guards: Every Element
(Get It After Defeating Maxwell)

Head Ass.: Element Circlet
Guard: Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth
(Actually you can get 2 of these from Seles before Zelos dies and after when You Go in a single match in advanced class)
Hint: Prefer Kratos Or Sheena to fight her

Hand Ass: Penguin gloves
Guard: Ice
(From the old man in the jewel shop at Flanior)

Ass. 1: Reflect Rings
Guard: Every Element
(You Can Get it from Origin)
Hint: You can also get more relfect rings and force rings in the UnderWorld Book at Sybak But It will only appear in there after you talk to the elf in Heimdall when its destroyed then will it appear.

Ass. 2: Persian Boots
Guard: Every Element and Reduces Physical Damage
(Its from when you complete the UnderWorld Book but you don't have to brun the flame if you want to go back in there and get more force rings and get rune bottles to change it to reflect rings or keep them the same.)

You Will See This On Status Of Her

Water:Absorb Lightning:Resist

Wind:Absorb Earth:Absorb

Fire:Absorb Ice:Abosrb

Light:Resist Darkness:Resist

Absorb: "It Heals You"
Resist: "Does No damage to you"

It would be really helpful in boss battles espicially abyssion, Mithos, and the expedition match

Secret - Funny-but-good items
You all know Luin? That town that was burned at the begining of the game? Well, there is a way to get money fast, rebuild it, and get funny weapons that own. First, go to the temple of earth, go straight, and take a left. There you'll see an enemy. It is a dragon. A VERY weak dragon. kill it and you get 20,000 gald!!! Then, eventually when Luin is rebuilt, You'll see new items in the weapon store (like baseballbat, Deck mop, Moneybag etc.). The only one that isn't good is the paper fans for Lloyd. If you go to the top of Mithos' Castle, you see a chest with a Ninja Sword. It is a bit better. Note, ALL of these weapons cost a lot. Some people claim there are better weapons, and there are. BUT these are really good items.

Secret - Maxwell The Summon Spirit Of Birth? Oh Well.....
Go to Exire. Go behind elder's house (it looks same as the other houses but it's above few steps). Walk forward a narrow path until you arrive to a grave-looking stone. Equip Ruby, Aquamarine, Opal and Garnet to your first four characters and then examine the stone.

Maxwell:
HP: 60 000 TP: 800
EXP: 10 800 Gald: 8250
Strengths: none
Weaknesses: none
Techs: Dreaded Wave, Raging Mist, Gravity Well, Meteor Storm

This is a king of all Summon Spirits and you must have a Derris Emblem to battle him. When he uses Meteor Storm, use guard tech three times to guard it. You can evade other techs like normally. Maxwell isn't very hard, so this battle shouldn't be a problem. Recommended level for this is 60-65.
