Use them to make things such as Cheese, Roasted Chicken and Improved Bombs.To swindle some free items, get Polly and/or Ferdinand to accompany you on your journey. When you are on the train, add them to your party. Press Triangle and go to character. Go to them and use their ability to gain free items.

Parn is also a good character to get. Put him in your party, and if your better character dies, use his special ability to leave a dungeon for free. Easy level upTake one of your strong characters (i.e., most health, strongest weapon) but not the Ridepod, and go to a dungeon that you can get minimal damage done to you. Kill the enemy with your strong person, and immediately afterwards, press L3 to switch characters or R3 to switch to the Ridepod. This is especially useful when trying to build up the Ridepod since he loses fuel easily.

This makes it so he does not move or get hurt.To level up your weapons faster, alternate your characters. Press L3 immediately after defeating an enemy. The ABS points will then get distributed evenly between your right- and left-handed weapons. This way, you do not have to actually use your gun/armband to level them up. Easy moneyWhen you get Erik in Chapter 2, go up to him and add him to your party. Press Triangle to go to the menu and select 'Character'.

Select Erik and use his ability to make bombs. Then, send him back to the train and sell them. Keep going back to him when his skill points increase. Do this repeatedly.

Each of his bombs cost 150 Gilda.Go into the first floor of the underground channel. In most of the treasure chests, you will find up to about four Attribute Crystals (Flame,Cyclone, Chill, etc.). Each crystal sells for 75 Gilda apiece, which is 300 Gilda per chest.Invent the 'Turkey' Spheda Club using Special Peking Duck, Tree, and Windmill Feather.

Make one and sell it for 230 Gilda.Equip the Lure Rod to Max and put on one lure of any kind. Make sure you have another lure of the same type with you. Go to the Lure Rod status screen. Go to the extra lure and equip it. At this point, it should have made a noise and you should still have the same amount of lures in your inventory. You can do this as many times as needed until you have up to 998 lures on your rod (not including the one in your inventory).

Select the lures with Triangle and move them into your inventory. You can now sell them for 150 gilda each, for almost 150,000 gilda total. BombsOnce you gain the ability to have a third party member, go to Erik and have him make bombs for you. Then, switch to someone who is more useful in the field into your party. When you return from fighting, see Erik again and have him make more bombs for you if he has recharged enough ability points. You can also sell Erik's bombs for quick cash. Easy photosSpin around the room or area you are in to find all the photos you need.

Knight BootsThe best invention is Belt, Shield, and Moon. This is the Knight Boots.

They are already equipped to Monica, but they can spectrumize into two attack points for weapons. You can get it at the start of the game. Sell the Attack Spheres for money. You already have the Belt. The Moon is in the sky, at night. The Shield is in the weapon shop. Laser Arm Four for RidepodTo make the Laser Arm Four for the Ridepod, you need the Legend Of The Moon, Blue Lantern, and Energy Pipe.

Low sword valueTry to sell the sword Seventh Heaven at the Wise Owl shop to learn that it is only worth 1 Gilda. Lure RodTo make a Lure Rod, all the photos you need are Fish, River, and the Lafrescia Stem. Saving moneyUse the following trick to save Money when escaping dungeons. When you have 1000 Gilda or more, make sure to talk to Conda and buy as many gold bars as possible. Since they buy/sell for the same price, you can get your money back whenever needed.

If you run out of Escape Powder, you can escape the dungeons and lose a lot less money. Save Ridepod fuelTo save Ridepod fuel on levels with Ridepod Only medals, run around the levels as Max. When you see an enemy, press L3 to defeat it, then press L3 again to return to Max and not waste fuel. AdelEnter Max's house and talk to Adel. She will need to get items to make new clothes for you. Get the items and give them to her. Leave the room, go back in, and talk to her.

Heart and slash free download. Borneo and ErikBorneo and Erik become available to move into the houses you build in the Georama area in chapter 5. CedricAs the game progresses, Cedric begins to get more parts for the Ridepod in every new chapter.

CorinnePlay a game and Hide and Seek with her. Find her both times, and she joins you.

She is in Max's room and the upper hall in Claire's house. DonnyYou need to buy an Indestructible and Dark Coin. Give them to Donny and he will join you. FerdinandTo recruit Ferdinand, you must help him complete his recipe by giving him a Roasted Chestnut. GeraldIf you remember correctly, Max's Dad gives Max a gun. Level this gun up twice into the Bell Gun.

Max's Dad should join you after returning the gun to him. The MayorEnter City Hall and go upstairs. Talk to the Mayor. He will need a code for his safe. The code is '1221'. MinaTalk to Mina and she will say that she is feeling sick.

This will start several rounds of Spheda. Compete in ten rounds of Spheda. OlivieFinish in first place in any of the classes of the Finny Frenzy. Defeating BatsIn a level where you have to defeat all enemies with only Max's wrench or Monica's sword for a medal, you can kill the Bats easily by using Max's or Monica's charge up attacks. Defeating MimicsUse the following trick to easily defeat Mimics and enemies that charge.

Hold R1 as the enemies charge at you. Press X button to pick them up, then toss them at a wall or another enemy to make then dizzy. Slash twice, then repeat by picking them up before they charge at you again. This works well with Mimics.

Mimics are best approached from behind. This works well with those hard to hit Gemrons. It is much easier to pick them up and toss them at another enemy, and attack while they are confused. Avoiding MimicsWhen opening a treasure chest, open it from the back. If it is a Mimic, you will be able to get some good hits on it and might kill it before it can turn around. Also, if you pick up a Mimic (you cannot pick up a King Mimic) and throw it, it will stall a slightly, allowing you to run in and hit it one or two times.

RECENT UPDATESDark Cloud 2 WalkthroughsThis is the index page for all of my Dark Cloud 2 Walkthroughs. Every guide for Dark Cloud 2 I have written can be found here.

If by chance you're here looking for the guides then head over there instead. I have four categories of guides for this game, most of which cover the sidequests of the game. Almost every side quest and side activity is covered in detail except for Fishing as I didn't get too involved in that.The photography guide you find on this website will arguably be the most informative and user friendly one on the net. I really put a lot of time and effort into making it perfect. Following that the Medals guide is quite useful for those who are new to the game and looking for ideas on how to acquire the bonus medals in each dungeon. The Monster Transformation guide would also be a great one for noobies!

Filling in most of the blanks about Monster Transformation and talking about their evolutions.-These 3 guides should do well in answering most of the questions you have about Dark Cloud 2. I very strongly urge all players to keep the Missable Photographs guide open/available to you at all times while playing the game. It really bites missing a photograph and finding out it was used for a cool invention later in the game.Finally there's one more guide category that I am really excited to talk about and it's one that'll be useful for advanced users and those over half way through the game.

This guide is the Weapon Customization/Build Up guide! Unlike Dark Cloud 1 more goes into upgrading and building up weapons than just filling out the stats. Some weapons require you to hunt down and kill specific monsters in order to upgrade them.That's what my Weapon Customization guide is for! As well as giving you some tips and tricks on how to make a great weapon in the game I also cover every single mob there is that's required to level up a weapon and where to find them!That's all for my Dark Cloud 2/Dark Chronicle Guides!
