DEL_DATA as a name.

Character and item duplication: Note: This trick requires a link cable and another
Tactics Ogre game. Make a backup save of the character and items
to be duplicated. Go into your backup save. Trade off your item
or character with the other game then reset your game. Reload
it then load your original game and trade off again to get your
character or item. Repeat this as many times as needed.

Lock all characters except the one to be duplicated. Equip the
character to be duplicated with any weapons/armors/spells that
you want to duplicate. Hire two soldiers (or use any two that
you do not care if lost) and put them at the end in "XYZ"
order, with the one to be duplicated last "Z". Get into
a fight, using character "Y" in the battle and allow
him to be killed. This does not have to be real battle, however
if its training the character has to use a Snapdragon. After winning
the battle, go to the menu, select "Sort" then "Execute".
Confirm it, then cancel all the way out by pressing B.
Go to any shop and sell all equipment that the duplicated character
had equipped, including spells. To sell the items, sell 99 of
it, then sell 58 plus however many you originally had and you
will end up with 99 of that item. When done, you will have two
characters with the same stats, name, items, and 99 of all equipment
and spells that character had originally had, plus more money.
To get unlimited number of Snapdragon Swords, Pearl Necklaces,
Circlet Of Wisdoms, etc., follow the character and item duplication
hint, but as you cannot sell, just try to equip another character
with it after it says 2/1. It can even go beyond 50/1. To "sell",
or dispose, unequip until the number is 1/1. Then, do the trick
again to get the items again. This also works with "sellable"
items.

Another way to duplicate pearl (before Sotavento) necklace is
to first select a weapon/armor. Then, select Eleanor. Put the
Hand Over Pearl Necklace and press L. This only works if
you followed the step above. Equip someone else with it. Go the
Eleanor's equipment, select "Ideal Type", "Power
Type", or "Release All". She will be re equipped
with it. It will then read 2/1, giving you unlimited necklaces.

Alternate ending sequence: Successfully complete the game in less than 25 hours,
with over 50 kills for Alphonse, and less than 10 of your characters
dying or transformed into a sword with a Snapdragon.
Hint: Easy emblem: Go Tosolea and buy one to five level 1 Fairies. Bring
them into a training match with whoever you want to get emblems
and put him on team A and the Fairies on team B. Make sure the
Fairies have no armor or weapons. Since they are so weak, you
should be able to hit them and get emblems easily (such as War
God, Berserk Knight, Certificate Lancer. Philosopher's Stone.
Animal Hunter, and more).

Hint: Easy training: If you need to train more but do not want to waste
your time issuing commands, go into training, press R,
go to "System", then "Control Setup", and
switch both teams to COM mode.
Information in this section was contributed by Anis Russell.
If you intend to do some major leveling up, go to training mode.
Place your character with highest level and the character you
want to train on the same team. Place any character in the other
team. Order the character you want to train to back-stab the character
with the highest level. After the character finishes his turn,
end the entire team turn. Then, end the opponent's team turn --
just concentrate on back-stabbing. Remember to get the Miracle
Emblem to counter the Bogus Hero Emblem.

Note: This trick requires an AC adapter. Use the following trick
to get two level 50 Knights easily. Give two Knights Heavy Armors,
or Even Firecrests, and a weak weapon, such as the Short Sword.
Give them each Heal, and set both sides for COM control in training.
Then, allow the game to remain this way overnight.

Hint: Easy items: If you want some easy items and have an excellent team,
go to the first quest level. Set the amount of turns to 1 and
switch all of your used characters to Ninja class. Have them all
use their special ability on the enemy leader.
Information in this section was contributed by Chriskorky.
Hint: Easy money and rare items: Note: This trick requires the "Numida Chronology"
for quest mode. Go to quest mode and select this Chronology, since
it is free and unbelievably easy. You have an option to set how
many turns to defeat the leader or all enemies. The greater the
challenge, the better the prize. Since all of the enemies' levels
are "15", try this at a very high level to get the best
results. Your prize can range anywhere from 25 to 3000 Goth, and
Ultra-rare items such as the Sandstorm Bow.
Information in this section was contributed by Red Kirby.
Go to the Batraal Chronology quest level with all characters equipped
with either Warp Rings or Warp Boots. Have your main character
also have a sword equipped, and have the special move "Atropos".
Also, if hero is alone, recommended stats are as follows. Sword:
any Snapdragon sword, Armor: anything Leviathan mail or better,
Helmet: Iron helmet, Strength: 482+, Intelligence: 277+, and Agility:
463+. The amount of turns set as your goal should be 2. if you
win with these conditions, you should begin to get rare items
such as the Sherwood Bow, Balmung, or Levaiatinn. Repeat this
as many times as needed.
Information in this section was contributed by Chriskorky.
Hint: Easy win: The game uses a system in which all of your enemies
are one to two levels higher than your leader. There is a simple
way to turn this into an advantage. Train up your followers, but
keep your leader about three levels lower than they are. Note:
This does not work in quest mode.

Use the following steps for one turn quest kills. This trick requires
three characters, Atropos, Teleport, and Magic Leaf. Have a character
use Magic Leaf on the character with Teleport. Then, have the
character with Teleport use it on the character with Atropos.
Move him/her next to the leader. Use Atropos on the leader. Note:
Your character's level must be higher than the leader's.

Hint: Best stats: The best equipment that should be used for stats boost
is as follows:
Information in this section was contributed by Eric Boone.
Snapdragon Sword
Fire Crest
Fire Crest
Armor of Choice (Warp Ring or similar recommended)
Examples of Snapdragons are:
Giant at max level, 50, would probably add 200 Str.
Fairy at max level, 50, would probably add 250 Agi.
SwordMaster at max level, 50, would add great Stats and "Instant
Death" affect
Vrtra, evolved Chaotic dragon, at max level, 50, would add 238
Str. 113 Int. 45 Agi.
Hint: Four Element Katanas: Go to the Batraal chronology. Next, choose "Defeat
All". Set the turns to either 3 or 6. You may be able to
get the Four Element Katanas by playing it repeatedly.

Hint: Deneb: For best results, complete the following at the beginning
of the game. Hire a female soldier from a shop of your choice,
and name her Deneb. You may choose her element, but make sure
that her alignment is either neutral or chaotic. Retrieve her
Vixen's Whisper in battle by successfully persuading a male enemy,
and class change her into a witch, when possible. You will receive
a message from her, stating that she will be no ordinary witch.
Her special and appearance is different than other witches, and
she can cast spells that others cannot. She even places a heart-like
symbol after Witch.
Information in this section was contributed by pumpkinmimi.
Additionally, it appears that the shop from which you hired her
will be "Denebs Shop". This unlocks several new items.
There are three pieces of "candy" armor here. They are
not too good, but are funny. Equip a character with these items
(Candy Armor, Candy Helm, Chocolate Shield) from her shop and
Sugar Cane from a later drop. They regain a set amount of HP every
turn, but that barely makes up for the lack of defense. You can
also sell your Glass Pumpkins here. Trade in, and you will eventually
be able to purchase a Firecrest, a stone that gives awesome defense,
both physical and elemental.

Hint: Glycinia: If you stop (not get encountered, but have these areas
as your destination) at certain places at certain times, you may
find Glycinia, a fairy. Depending on her location, she will have
different items. Note: She always has a Glass Pumpkin. Her notable
equipment includes:
Information in this section was contributed by Hypergamer18892.
Vespa (until you defeat Bison or Suffrir): none
Bison: (until you defeat Aquila): Tundra Bow, Ice Chain
Suffrir (same as Bison): Dragon Gem Sword
Aquila (until you defeat Vespa): Peregrine mail
Vespa (until you defeat Haena): Holy Comet (whip)
Heana (until you defeat Charadrius): Ripple's Staff
Lutra (end of game): Crescente (bow)
Hint: Lubina: After getting Glycinia, go to Gracula. There will be
a gremlin named Lubinnia, equipped with a Sherwood Bow. Have Glycinia
go next to this gremlin. It is Lubina in disguise. If both fairies
are next to each other, and neither has moved this turn, they
can combine their powers to cast Magic Barrage, which costs half
their HP, and does great damage for fairies. It also vanquishes
undead.
Information in this section was contributed by Hypergamer18892.
When the option of visiting Gracula appears, travel there. Glycinia
will mention she senses her sister nearby, but she is not on the
map. There is a gremlin resembling her name who will not move
from its position or damage your characters (except through counterattack).
If you still cannot tell them apart, she is equipped with a Sherwood
Bow. Have Glycinia stand next to this gremlin. On the enemy's
next turn, she should recognize her, and a brief intermission
after the battle will give you the option of adding her to your
troops.

Hint: Necromancy: To acquire Necromancy, complete the Batraal Chronicles
quest level. In order to use this spell, you must have Elrik.
He is the only person able to use this spell, unless you have
a Lich readily available. This powerful spell brings back any
unit and turns it into a ghost.
Information in this section was contributed by Chriskorky.
Hint: Angel Knight with Bane and Lich with
Virtue: When you get a Lich it is always of the alignment Bane
and an Angel Knight is always Virtue. However, if you use the
Urn Of Chaos on an Angel Knight its alignment will change to Bane.
If you use the Tome Of Discipline on a Lich, its alignment will
be changed to Virtue.

Hint: Ultimate Archer: Equip a character with the four Enchanted Hunting Wares.
The movement range increases significantly if all four are equipped.
Information in this section was contributed by Hypergamer18892.
Hint: Ultimate Bane resistance: In the Tundra Geology quest, you can get the four Divine
Armaments. They are: Oracion (sword, Banish effect), Freude Helm,
Saint's Shield, and Southern Cross (armor). When a character is
equipped with all four, he or she is immune to Bane weapons, spells,
and support spells. The only downside is that you cannot increase
their MP with Fluid magic or Energy Transfer.
Information in this section was contributed by Hypergamer18892.
Hint: Human Dragon: Have a character equip all four Dragon items. The person's
element determines which Dragon Breath they receive as a "Special".
Equip these four items: Dragon Helm, Dragon Armor, Dragon Shield,
Dragon Eyes. Then, your character's element will be expressed
in Dragon Breath:
Information in this section was contributed by Eric Boone.
Wind: Thunder Breath (stuns)
Fire: Fire Breath (confuses)
Earth: Poison Breath (poisons)
Water: Water Breath (puts asleep)
The "Special" Breath will cost 25 MP, and you will no
longer have a weapon, but only a shield.
