V...Secrets and Extras

Discover how to unlock all secrets and cheats in Panzer Dragoon Remake's Pandora's Box. Learn the requirements and available options to customize your gameplay experience.

Hey there! So, you're diving into Panzer Dragoon Remake and wondering about those extra goodies? Forget the old codes from the first game; Panzer Dragoon II Zwei (that's the one this guide is for!) handles its secrets a bit differently. Instead of complex inputs, everything is unlocked by simply playing the game and then accessed through a menu called Pandora's Box. Once unlocked, you can toggle all sorts of cheats and options on or off to your heart's content. Just a heads-up though: if you have Pandora's Box activated, the game won't let you save your progress while those cheats are active!

What is Pandora's Box?

Think of Pandora's Box as your personal cheat console. It's packed with all sorts of cheats and fun extras that you'll need to earn by playing through the game. To unlock absolutely everything in there, you'll need to meet one of the following conditions:

• Play the game for a total of 30 hours or more.
• Clear the game a whopping 30 times.
• Achieve a Best Shot Down Ratio of 100%.
• Have a save file from Panzer Dragoon Saga on your memory card.

Once you've met one of those requirements, you'll have access to a bunch of cool options. Just hop into Pandora's Box, select the option you want to tweak, and change it to your liking!

Available Pandora's Box Options:

• Episode: Choose which episode you want to start from, or even unlock the secret Zero Space level!
• Dragon: Select your starting dragon form.
• Level: Access new difficulty settings to really test your skills.
• Life: Adjust your health bar – make it easier or harder on yourself.
• Shot: You can swap out Lundi's gun for different ones.
• Laser: This lets you change Lagi's lasers.
• Berserk: Tweak your berserk meter to your preference.
• Rolling: Just like in the first game, you can turn the Rolling Mode on or off.
• Sight: Change the level of your targeting sight.
• Start Area: Decide whether to start a stage normally or right at the boss.
• Pause Menu: When you pause the game, some secret menu options will pop up.
• Soundtest: Yep, it's exactly what it sounds like – a full sound test mode to listen to all the game's audio.

The 'Suicide' Option

This one's a bit grim, but just like in the first Panzer Dragoon, there's a way to end it all quickly. Anytime you're in a level, you can press A + B + C + L + R simultaneously, and your dragon will instantly die. Use it if you want a quick restart or just to see what happens!
