To fight a Bacura, the big solid Mana blocks in the Toize Mines, go to the last room, where you get the ore. There will be a one-eyed monster in there. fight it. Sometimes it will be a couple of Stone Golems with some other monsters, and sometimes it will be a Bacura. Just run away if it is not a Bacura and re-encounter it. The Bacura has 255 HP and you can only drain one. Also, it disappears after thirty seconds.

Instead of going into the Toize Valley Mines to get to a Bacura battle, go to the SE Abbey. Go on the wide path outside of the abbey and fight a monster there.

Get all nine Darkness Weapons and go to the Darkness Temple to fight Aviation.

To fight Seles (Zelos' sister), go to the Meltokio arena after you get the emblem from Derris-Kharlan. Complete beginner and intermediate modes to unlock advanced mode. Complete advanced mode twice with any character to fight Seles in an extra match. By winning the match you will get Zelos' best weapon, the Last Fencer.

Tn order to fight Garr, Meredy, and Farah from the previous Tales Of Destiny games, get near the end of the game when you have to defeat the dark dragon just before the ultimate battle against Mithos. Leave Derris Kharlan after obtaining the Derris Emblem. You will now be able to participate in the coliseum tournaments. After winning the advanced single tournament you will be able to participate in party tournaments. Win the beginner tournament and you will be able to fight in the advanced tournament. Before fighting the advanced tournament, set the difficulty on "Mania". Win the advanced tournament and you will have to fight an unexpected exhibition match against Garr, Meredy, and Farah. REMEMBER: You will be able to use items.

After you have met Altessa, leave then go back to his house this time with Zelos as your on-screen character. If you see Tabatha standing by the stove, talk to her. Lloyd will then appear as the on-screen character. Follow through the sequence that plays and she will teach you the recipe for curry, a dish that you cannot learn from the Wonder Chef. If this does not work the first time, then go back a short time later.

The Devils Arms are a set of cursed weapons you can find that appear to have very little attack power. However, after you defeat Abyssion in the Darkness Temple, try equipping them to defeat a monster. Each time they are used to kill a monster, they will become more powerful. These weapons can become the most powerful weapons in the game if you have the patience to battle with them.

When Lloyd is low on health (health is in the red) and has the weapon "Material Blade" equipped, he can use a secret tech called the Falcon Crest. To use this tech, press Circle + X + Square. REMEMBER: Lloyd must have the title "Eternal Swordsman" in use when attempting this tech.

In order for this trick to work, you must have already fought Seles with Zelos, then have gone on to fight Zelos later in the Tower of Salvation. Go through the Advance Class battles again with Lloyd. After you have received your prizes, Seles will return to the Arena and try to take revenge for her brother's death. If you defeat her, you get another Last Fencer and another item. You may need to face her after already going through Vinheim and getting the Sacred Stone; or have obtained the Derris Emblem.
