Disgaea: Hour Of Darkness

Hint: Get the most out of your turn:
If you are trying to level all of your characters mainly by using team attacks, etc., move all your characters into position for a team attack. As long as none of them besides the initial attacker have not performed any actions, after the team attack you can move them back to their original locations and move them again. Repeat this as desired. This also works if your characters are just out of a healers range; you can move them, heal them, then move them back into battle.

Hint: Etna's diary:
There are two hidden switches in the castle. One is behind the throne, and another is near the skull on the counter of the Rosenqueen shops. Flip both of them to allow access to Etna's diary, which is in the middle corner of the intermediate hallway between the throne room and the shops. If you visit this area consistently for each chapter, you will be rewarded with a Testament item in the final chapter.

Hint: Easy experience:
In stage 5, level 3 (Terrible Cold), there is only one Geopanel that does not have the invincibility attribute. Combine all the enemies by throwing them into each other, making one high level enemy. Throw the enemy onto the Geopanel that is green. Trap him/her on the Geopanel without invincibility by surrounding him with your characters. Since all of your characters are on invincible panels you cannot be defeated, yet you can wear down the high-level enemy who is trapped on the non-invincible panel. This is a great way to jump 10 levels at once early in the game.
Hirameki.

Get to the Jotunheim episode and go to Terrible Cold area. The entire map will be invincible except for one location. Throw all of the Sexy Demons together. This should get you about a level 114 Demon. After that, throw her all the way to the corner at the top of the map that has the "None" status and surround her, one on each side. It helps if your attack is at least 300 on each of the characters that are attacking. It also speeds the process if you bring one or two Mages with Brave Heart. Keep casting that on your characters every turn, as it is stackable. This trick is worth the time, and gains about four to six levels for each character in the team attack.

In episode 9, level 1, there are only nine enemies in the level. They are in a 3x3 block. Use Mage's 9 square attack or Laharl's Winged Slayer attack to hit all of them at the same time. For any that remain, use your lower characters to finish them off. You should be able to kill all the enemies on your first turn, so you never get hurt. This usually works when you are between level 20 and 45 to 50.
Ryan Softcheck.

Ask the assembly to "Triple EXP" then go to the Jutenheim area "Terrible Cold". Give the character you wish to level up your best items because they will need them, depending on what point in the game you are at. Throw all the enemies into each other, creating a level 112 enemy. Then throw the enemy onto the non-invincible square and kill it. You will gain the experience of killing a level 336 character. By doing this three times, a level 1 character will be at level 50.
Taker Ofsouls.

Go to Field of Virtue in Celestia (the map with four vampires). Throw all of them in one square, fusing them into one, and kill him. Together with the Exp +100% Geo Effect, the experience will be enough for a low-level character (-50) to gain decent levels. This works even better with triple experience in Dark Congress. Statisticians also help, but will not really change much unless you have 300 of it.
Sho Murooka.

Use the following trick to gain ten levels after every battle First, power up your highest armor to the maximum level by entering the Item World. Inside the Item World, skip as many floors as possible. Use the Triple Strike Fighting skill and at least have Hoggmieser's Earth Shaker. If you are going to use Hoggmeiser's Earth Shaker to trade places with a Dimensional Gate Keeper, make sure Hoggmieser still has a chance to move away from the square; as Hoggmeiser will not advance to the next floor. The best way to do this is to create a large number of level 1 characters whose only purpose is to throw your characters to get to certain places, and to complete a floor in the Item World in one turn. If anything were to go wrong and ten of those sole thrower characters died, you will still have a lot more. With this trick you should not have to fight anyone in the Item World, no matter how strong. Note that the highest level for a non legendary or rare item is 30. When all this is done, equip one character who is at least at level 100 (preferably Laharl) with the level 30 or higher armors you just powered up. Or, he can have two leveel 30 or higher armors and one level 30 or higher Testament item. Then, enter the Dark Assembly and try to get a promotion. By now you should be facing some difficult promotion exams. Do not worry, as you have so much defense from the armor, the highest attack that they will be able to do is worth about 2 damage. When you are finally ready for the last exam, make sure you have Faerie Dust Eclairs and Protein Shakes ready. Fight Shaitin and the zombies with everything you have. The zombies should mostly do no damage. If done correctly, the level 250 Shaitin should be easy. Then, go to the Dark Assembly again and keep exiting and entering until the number of attendees is about sixteen. Then, select Cave Of Ordeal from Proposals. Bribe only the highest level Senators so they will not fight you. When you try to pass the proposal, you will most likely fail. You will have to persuade by force. Do your best to take out at least some of the enemies you feel you can defeat. Use you sole throwers (the character you created just for throwing tricks) to lift up very high level characters and ending their turn. Your throwers will die, but the characters they were holding will not be able to attack no matter what, so you will get a lot of free attacks. Send characters to run out of the base panel and grab the enemies that are on your side so they can throw those high level Senates on you "real" opponents. By doing so, your enemies will turn on your side so you will not have to fight them. In no time you should defeat all the enemies. Now that you have Cave Of Ordeal, work your way up to the third level. After each enemy you kill, you will gain a level. When you have killed so many enemies that you feel you are not gaining enough, pass the proposal "Stronger Enemies". If you have to pass by force, by now you should be strong enough so that you will not have to bribe as many high level Senates to be on your side. Now that the enemies are stronger, you can keep gaining levels from the same stage repeatedly. When it reaches the point again where you are so strong that you feel that your not gaining enough experience from the monsters, pass the proposal "Stronger Enemies" again. By now you should be terribly strong (at least level 300 to 450). Consider this stage the "level gaining stage".

Hint: Getting Testaments:
Go to Prinny Land 3 periodically, as you can steal Testament from Prinny God as many times as desired.
Sho Murooka.

Hint: Overlord Priere:
Complete the "Alternate Netherworld" Side Area to acquire Priere. To defeat Priere, after killing the other two monsters, throw her to one of the floating square around the stage, and pummel using Dimension Slash (or any other desired skill/magics). If using physical attacks, having more than 45000 ATK is strongly recommended. Note: Her accessory Arcadia cannot be stolen.

Hint: Witch Marjoly:
Complete the "Beauty Castle" Side Area to acquire Marjoly. To defeat Marjoly, deal with the two mages first so they will not heal anybody. Then pummel her with your best attacks before she uses any of her powerful spells. Note: None of her items cannot be stolen.
Sho Murooka.

Hint: Tyrant:
When the "Baal Castle" Side Area is completed, Laharl will be promoted to the "Tyrant". Whenever Laharl enters the Dark Congress, his "reputation" will be boosted, meaning that almost any proposal will be approved without bribing at all.
Sho Murooka.

Hint: Defeating Preier:
Throw each of the enemies onto a different pillar. Make sure not to put them close together, as Preier can do Omega Heal, which can heal over 56,000.
Ryan Nguyen.

Hint: Training high-level characters:
As preparation to level-up the characters, you will need a tremendous amount of money; 3 billion HL is ideal, but you could gain money fairly quickly by entering the World of some powerful item, and then by selling it. Assuming that you have the highest Customer Rank, shop around and look for items on sale with at least one 40 Statistician on it. Then enter its world and subdue the specialist. Note: Having the "exit" will save a lot of time. For one unsubdued 40 specialist, you will have 80 when its subdued. Try to subdue and fuse them until they are exactly or more than 300; which will mean you will need 150 Unsubdued Statistician. Equip the item with the 300 Statistician you have just made to the character you want to train. Then, go to Cave of Ordeal 3 and keep killing the monsters there. Having the 300 Statistician that will actually quadruple your experience. You will be leveling up four times faster than normal. However, tripling the experience using Dark Congress will not help much; it only applies to one monster. If you find Cave of Ordeal 3 too difficult, go to Field Of Virtue in Celestia instead. Then, fuse all the vampires into one and kill it. Also use this method when your character has just transmigrated and is not powerful enough to complete Cave of Ordeal 3 by himself or herself. After about one hundred levels (or several hundred after 1500+), transmigrate. This means that if the level before transmigration was 300, then transmigrate when you reach 400. Do not transmigrate when the level is lower than it was before, as this will weaken your character. Always make sure to transmigrate your character as a genius. If you do not do this, it defeats the purpose of transmigrating. Make sure to raise the monsters' levels after they get too slow. If you raise the monsters' levels to max, clearing the Cave of Ordeal 3 (level 750 and 810) will give you 20 level boosts after getting past level 2000. If you want to level-up multiple characters, then it is recommended to obtain another 300 Statistician, considering that you cannot transfer specialists within battles. Level up your weapons as much as possible. Get the legendary weapon by stealing from monsters or by bonus, and try to max it out to level 100. It is very critical to transfer as many corresponding specialists as possible; they boost the weapon power. Specialists' power does not count -- just try to fill the item with the same specialists. For example, if you were using a sword, then fill the sword with Dieticians (legendary items have 9-13 Pop in default) and boost its level. For the bow, fill it with half Dieticians and Marksmen. It is also critical to defeat all the Bosses in the Item world, as they increase item power or Pop. After finishing the 30th, 60th, and 90th floor, add another Dietician to it. To deal even more damage, train your weapon mastery skills. Using the method for Statician, collect 1900 subdued Armsmaster, equip it, and go to a stage with invincibility. Fervent Melody in Sea of Gehenna is recommended. Once there, get an ally to pummel each other, rather than just killing monsters as usual. This strategy can gain mastery skills much faster, and you can do this as much as desired. After you are done, finish the stage. Raising the levels of each skills, however, is a big challenge. Since there is no way to boost the speed of gaining skills' levels (Armsmasters do not help them), all you can do is keep using it. This is, however, not recommended for monster characters; their skill levels will be reset to zero every time they transmigrate. The same is true for character-specific skills.
Sho Murooka.

Hint: Higher Dark Assembly influence:
When at the screen where you can select which character will address the Dark Assembly, choose any character. Once someone is selected, go back to the screen that you were just at. Then, select the same character again. Your Assembly Influence has now changed to a higher or lower number. Do this as many times as desired. The number should almost always change.

Hint: Senator Gift List rankings:
The following is a list in order from best to last when you "Give Gifts" to the Senators in order to have them vote in your favor when submitting a proposal:

1. Total Support
2. Strongly For
3. In Favor Of
4. Leaning Yes
5. Either Way
6. Leaning No
7. Against
8. Strongly Against
9. Loathe
10. Total Opposition

Of course, giving them an item that has "Must Have!" will definitely jump at least one space. If you give them an item that they are just "Interested" in, it sometimes takes two or more depending on their level. Giving them any lesser items is a waste of items unless you are desperate for votes.

Taker Ofsouls.

Hint: Capturing monsters:
To catch any monster type character in the game, just pick up a enemy and toss them in your base panel. When the enemy is in your base panel, all of your characters in the base panel will try to make the enemy submit. If you catch it, that character will be in your party after you complete your current stage. Note: You can not catch Bosses or humanoids.
MAGNAULTIMA2.

Hint: Forbidden throw:
You are only allowed to throw in four directions (up, down, left or right). However, if you change the direction of your throw in the split second that the throw cursor changes, you will be able to throw your person sideways, northwest, northeast, or any other forbidden direction. It may be difficult to perform at first.

Hint: Ronin with 777 HP:
Create a Ronin and make her skilled. Get her to level 27 (she will have Counter 2). Equip her with the following: Broad Sword (Rarity 83, SP+ 6, Atk+ 65), Power Jacket (Rarity 217, HP+ 4, ATK+ 15, DEF+ 51), (Rare) Belt of Will (Rarity 17, HP+ 9, ATK+ 47, DEF+ 3), Muscle Victory (Rarity 88, HP+ 311, RES+ 25). If this does not work, try putting those items on her when you create her. Rarity does matter.
Paul.

Glitch: Attack on Dark Cannon:
Use some skills on Dark Cannon created by Scouts to see some interesting graphical glitches. For example, using Jack The Ripper on Dark Cannon makes it look as if it doubled itself.
Sho Murooka.

Glitch: Totenkreuz damage:
When used Totenkreuz gun skill, it seems that the skill dealt the damage twice. However, it actually deals damage only once. So, the actual damage on target is half the "Total Damage" displayed.
Sho Murooka.

Glitch: Cannot return to base panel:
In the stage Neo Eden in Human World, for some reason you cannot return to the base panel, even if you tried to throw someone in it. The only exception is when you choose a character but cancel it within the same turn.
