Alchemists do not have an all around attack like most classes. They start out with a spell called Poison Shot that at a high level (about level 6), can kill almost all small enemies without the, getting to you. It does 25 to 35 damage and does not use a lot of energy. You can cast it very fast to surround yourself in clouds of poison that will kill everything near you.
When you are high enough level to get "Fire Bomb", get it and do nothing but upgrade it. Over time, the bomb will explode instantly after you drop it and do over 300 damage.
All around attack
When crowded by many enemies, press Circle to do an all around attack. This should damage most of your opponents.
Avoid large amount of replay
If you are about to die and have not saved the game for a while, while you are falling you can quickly Recall To Aven.
Berserker Skills
These are all of the skills that Berserkers learn.
If have money and cannot find anything you want from the merchant, leave town then return. His inventory will change.
Chain Lightning Kills
If there's an enemy in a nearby room, and you're an Alchemist, and you've learned Chain Lightning, you can kill enemies without getting hurt. This is best used on bosses because they're... Well, you know what they are.
Defeating Athoxxia, The Pretox Queen
When you kill Ronan the Zombie in the room before the Pretox Queen, make sure you have some health vials with you, and at least one point into the attack where you attack an enemy in a flurry of stabs. If you have low health, do not use any of your health vials. Regenerate your health. Once your health is full, run to the circle platform where Athoxxia (the Pretox Queen) is located. Once she is done talking, watch the mini-map. The red Boss icon on the mini-map shows where she will climb up on the platform. Whenever she climbs up, use Flurry on her, as it will drain her health quickly. If she sends some Pretox spiders at you, use a power swing to dispatch them quickly. If you run low on health, use your health vials. If you have no health vials, run to the bridge-like path and regenerate while blocking (R + Circle). If you have a ranged weapon (bow, knives, etc.), get on that narrow bridge-like path and hit her with it. Once she is dead, teleport back to Aven and talk to the Overseer. Note: It is recommended that you use a fire based weapon on Athoxxia.
Defeating Bosses
When fighting a boss that can overpower a Druid in hand-to-hand combat, summon a "pet" and equip a strong bow. Because you spill a lot of points in dexterity, the bow should be very strong. You can easily pick off Bosses that way.
Defeating Shadow Lord
As an alchemist, get a maximum level Fire Bomb and bow and arrows. Keep running from the Shadow Lord as you are faster than him. When he is near you, walk around him and lay Fire Bombs. They will do about 300 damage each. Drop about six bombs then run away. When you are a good distance away, use your bow and start firing in the general direction of the Shadow Lord. When he is close, repeat the Fire Bomb tactic then run away. Repeat the same trick. Constantly doing this will greatly reduce his HP and he will eventually die.
Defeating the bull
The only way to defeat the "bull" enemy that charges at you is with a range attack (bow and arrow, throwing knives, etc.). Once it spots you, its guaranteed that it will hit you hard if you do not take it out fast enough. It pauses for a moment, then charges you. Its attack cannot be blocked and it deals a lot of damage.

Duplicate items
This trick requires two PSPs and two copies of the game. Select the item to be duplicated and trade it to another PSP. Do not save on your PSP but save on the other one. When you reload, because you did not save you will still have the item. However, because the other PSP saved with the item on it, they will also have the item.
Connect to a multi-player game. Have the character with the item give it to another player and do not save the game when exiting. The player who receives the items needs to save the game. When both players reload the game, they will both have the item.
Easy experience
To get easy levels, find an area in the game where there is a rare monster. They have red circles around them. If they are near a door, kill the monster then go through the door. If there is another rare monster nearby, also kill that one then go back through the door where you killed the first monster. It should be alive again. Repeat this process as many times as desired.
Additionally, when you first start, kill all the monsters as usual and exit the tavern. After you exit, kill all the monsters up to the Academy. Do not get too close to the top of the Academy or the game will start your next quest. Run back down to the tavern and enter it. The monsters should have respawned. Kill them again to get experience. Repeat this and you should get a good amount of experience until you are at about level 30. This works especially well for Knights to do their Aura of Valor.
Note: This trick requires two PSPs with the game. You also need one character that is over level 40. Have the person with the higher level character invite a lower level character into his game for multi-player mode. The lower level character should be below level 30. Then, have the lower level character stand back and hit them with arrows (if possible). The lower level character should get experience points, even though he is not fighting. The lower the level, the better this will work.
When just starting the game, fight all the Pretox. Kill the Shadow Pretox then go to the city. Kill all the Pretox there then go to the academy. Talk to Overseer Lyetta. Save the game and exit. Go to "Load Game" then instead of choosing "Continue Story", go to "Restart Story". It is an easy and quick way to get your character to level up.
Extra gold
Use the following trick to get a lot of gold when you do not have any inventory remaining. Be an alchemist and level up the spell Transmute so that everything around you turns into gold. Note: This spell must be at a high level to be worth it.
Use the following trick to get lots of gold and inventory space. You must be very patient. When you cannot pick up an item because it is to heavy or your inventory is full, Recall to Aven and go to the merchant. Sell all unwanted items, then recall back to where ever you were.
Finding Bosses
You can see a Boss ahead of time by using the map. Save before you fight it, and you can reload the game it does not drop anything you want to keep.
Forgotten Catacombs location
The Forgotten Catacombs are located behind the counter in the Inn.
Glitch: 127+ Available Attribute Points
If you save and exit a game while having more than 127 available attribute points, you will lose all the points permanently from that save. You will notice that every time you load that save, the level-up option is gone hence all the available attribute points you saved are gone as well. To prevent this glitch, you have to keep the numbers down below 127 before save and exit the game.
Since the levels are randomly generated, the location of the woman will be different for each player. Expect to locate her after the red skull/boss fight where you will get you're first adventure book. To locate her easier, hold R and press Square until you get a full map on your screen, then look for a green or blue exclamation point; that is the woman you are looking for.
Maximum weight
If you are a class such as the Alchemist you should be concerned with your maximum carrying weight. Every level up, spend a point to the weight icon in your magic. Also, give up a few attribute points in strength. Another way to do this is to add a Virtue Rune or a Ferrous Stone to your armor. Either will increase the maximum caring weight. For best results do all three of these.
More inventory space
If you cant carry anymore items in your inventory, look in your weapons, armor, and position/power up page to decide which items to discard. To help you decide, throw out the lowest hit point ratings, dexterity points, strength points ratings, etc.
Network dupe
To dupe items, you need to be connected in a multiplayer game. The character with the item gives it to another player, and doesn't save the game when exiting. The player who receives the items needs to save the game. When both players reload the game, they will both have the item.
Never Die
When you see your character falling to the ground press start and the option save and return to Aven is crossed out so press exit. It takes you to the main menu and you can save your game there. This will enable you to keep any good items that you found.
Over 127 available attribute points
If you save and exit a game while having more than 127 available attribute points, you will lose all the points permanently from that save. Notice that every time you load that save, the level-up option is gone, hence all the available attribute points you saved are gone as well. To prevent this glitch, you must keep the numbers below 127 before save and exit the game.
Restoring health
When you are low on health, press L to get a health potion. If you are not hurt enough to where you think you need a potion, your health and power will slowly recharge.
Rope location
Although you will see many holes and spend hours looking for a rope to get down them, you won't need the rope until later in the game; when you get the rope, you will know it.
See when enemies are invisible or off screen
If there is an enemy that is invisible or closely off screen near you, let your character stand still and his position should change from standing to an attacking stance. This means there are enemies ahead.
Skip Prologue
Press Circle to skip the Prologue.
Temporarily stop kamikaze attacks
If a kamikaze monster (one who explodes on impact) is charging for you, start switching between Weapon and Bow by pressing R and X. Doing this very fast will stop the kamikaze monster for just a second while he is right at you, giving you a chance to block the attack.
