Tips
  • Some battles in the NEW BATTLE TEST: will always yield great items upon victory.
  • The battle at hex 03C features a single Majin Horus and grants over 30,000 EXP, making it ideal for leveling.
  • Be aware that some battles may cause your game to hard freeze, disrupt your party formation, or present unusual scenarios, such as enemies that provide Story Items when spoken to.
  • Be cautious when selecting battles; pressing the Triangle, Square, or X button on the battle select screen will reset your party's status.
  • Pressing Triangle sets your party to a "default" state (e.g., hero at level 1, no items, no skills).
  • Pressing Square or X results in an unusual party setup: a Lv 50 Hero with no skills, 9 of each item, and equipped with a phantom Magatama that teaches Agi spells. This can be used to obtain any or all Magatama.
