Avoiding decrease Abs in Limited zones

To avoid decreasing your weapon's Abs in limited zones that do such, is to kill the enemy then before the enemy vanishes, switch to any other ally. Note: This is only good for limited zones. When doing this on a normal zone, none of the allies will receive the Abs from killing the enemy.

Glitch: Broken Dagger Attachment

To initiate the best possible execution of the glitch, you need to start early on in the game. During the initial building of Norune Village, make sure that Pike is placed into Paige's House prior to completing Old Gaffer's Buggy, so as to obtain the better selection of items at the shop. Upon doing this, next you need to go to Old Gaffer's Buggy and shop. Hover the cursor over the Ice attachment and simultaneously press the X button and Right on the D-Pad. It may take a few tries, but you'll be holding a Broken Dagger in the Attachments menu (or, occasionally, something else). This Broken Dagger can usually be used as an attachment on weapons to mess with stats. Most of its known varieties will max the weapon's stats when an odd number is placed on the weapon, as well as adding several abilities, although they are merely temporal. Regardless, you'll obtain a weapon that will Build Up after the next upgrade. Another use is placing many of them on a weapon and selling this weapon to the Old Gaffer (it only works there). Generally, you can obtain obscenely high amounts of Gilda back from this. Please note, however, that the glitch is best done using the above method and offers the highest known rate of success. Using it in alternate situations can cause you to receive beta/glitch items and maybe also cause game freezes. Done properly, however, you'll be guaranteed easy battles and easy Gilda.

How To Beat Boss 2: (The Baboon Guy)

You need: tasero (forest dude I named him tasero) toan. Run up to the monkey and hit him a couple times with the sword while side stepping his moves. It wont do any damage I think. When he sits down exhausted switch to tasero and whack him once or twice and repeat.

How To Beat Boss 4: Ice Witch Something

You need: ruby and selphie (look back to first how to beat to see who selphie is). First make sure ruby has her first ring on or a ring with fire. Second be sure to run behind a pillar as soon as you start the battle. Warning: the anti-freeze amulets don't do crap against her so don't try. First have selphie hit the witch 10-15 times with the sling shot in between the witches freeze blasts. The witch will lose her ice sheild and then the serious damage comes. Switch to ruby and wait for the witches shot to connect with the pillar. As soon as that happens move out and fire one full charged shot and one quick shot. Then move behind the pillar as fast as you can. If you do it right you can barely dodge the ice blast and do about 80 damage. Repeat till dead.

How To Beat Boss 5: Kings Curse

You need: ungunga. When I did this toan was nearly dead and I didnt have anymore revival powders you could probably substitute toan with ungunga for attacking. First switch to ungunga and run towards the boss. Make it swing at you so it turns into a cloud. Then use ungungas charge attack to turn it into a sarcophagas. Then attack and repeat.

How To Beat The Ice Queen

First, buy 15-35 fire gems from Joker, then lock on to her and throw them one by one. After you've used about 25 of them you will have defeated her. Sometimes it takes more, sometimes it will take less. Either way, it is really easy.

Play As Your Father

First beat the whole game. After you have beaten the whole game, start a new file and you will see that you are your father and not Toan.
