Hint: Special stage:
To get to the special stage, when you get Roan (King Roan) to be part of your team, exit the Palace. When you get out, there are two places to go to, Raul Hills and the King Roan's palace place in the south. Go to Raul Hills. When you arrive, "Special Stage" will appear. You can train yourself until you are ready to leave.

Hint: Double SC earned, EXP earned, and get Fairy Egg:
After you get Roan for the second time, leave Cyrum Kingdom and go to Raul Hills and it will be a special stage. Go through there and get to the ruins in Raul Hills 1. When you get to the ruins you will encounter Devils. They are extremely hard to fight. Ice will work best but make sure you have items that refill SP and MP because there are no recovery spots, and if you go back the enemies will reappear. Inside the ruins are items including armor, an item that doubles SP earned, one that doubles EXP earned, and one that gives you 1000 Magic Coins. The Fairy Egg can be found on top the highest pillar.

Hint: Fairy Mana Egg:
After you get back from the moon and get Roan again, leave the castle. Go to Rual Hills (special stage), then go to Rual Hill 2. There will be a castle. Make your way by the devils and climb up the little tower to find the Fairy Mana Egg. The Egg helps heal, defend, and lower the defense of enemies.

Hint: Defeating Melfice:
When facing Melfice the first time, equip the Pirates Ring from the first book and get to five stars. Go to Raul Hills and fight the green lizard enemies. If you are lucky, you will get a Power Seed. Get 50 or more and use them on Ryudo. Fight Melfice and put up your strength. You will be able to hurt him. Once you kill him, he will die but the game will still continue to the next screen where it looks like you lost. It is a good challenge.

Hint: Defeating Valmar Zera:
To defeat Valmar Zera (the Butterfly) at the end of the game, master Millenia's Spellbinding Eye and use it as soon as possible. Have Millenia and Ryudo attack with Purple Lightning and Grudging Claws while Elena uses the spells Speedy and WOW! on both Ryudo and Millenia. You may have to use Spellbinding Eye twice if you do not kill him fast enough.

Hint: Defeating Bosses:
Power up your special move that you have had since the beginning of the game. For example, Ryudo's Tenseiken Slash. Power it up to the maximum and you will have a better chance of winning.

When Millenia has absorbed The Eye of Valmar, raise the special move "Spellbinding eye" to the maximum. When you encounter a Boss, use that move. The boss will be paralyzed and will be harmless. You can now hit it with your best spells and special moves. Note: The special move has a time limit.

Hint: Rual Hills 1 ruins:
When entering Raul Hills 1 ruins special stage with the devils, make sure you have saved the game. Also, equip some Revival Gems to all of your characters so that if one of the devils does the "BA-BOOM" move, your party will take about 4,500 damage. The items you can find here are Sonic Belt (+40 ACT), Fairy Egg (no attack spells), Blackquartz Helm, Soul of A Hero (carrying it doubles experience earned), and another item that doubles SP earned.

Hint: Quicker fights:
Level up your beginning moves, such as Ryudo'sTensaiken Slash, Elena's Impact Bomb, etc. By doing so, using your fully leveled up moves should put you at the Act point on your IP gauge, causing you to surpass your enemies turn. You should also be able to push your enemies back to the beginning of the IP gauge with your move. If done correctly, you can prevent your enemy from attacking and continuously surpass your enemies turn.
