Change Gears Quickly
When you are on the world map
or a place that you can use your Gears, press L2+R2 and you can hop in
and out without
going to the menu.
Defeating Hamar
This is a useful tip for playing
disk 2 of Xenogears. At the dungeon where Rico gets his new gear, there's
this monster called
Hamar, who self-destructs after
he glows red. The explosion is lethal but the party can escape before Hamar
blows up.
However, the trick here is to
kill him before he blows up and he will give a special item which increases
the rate of
receiving rare items. (Actually,
it goes to 100%.) The way to do it is to reserve some infinity or level
3 attacks until he turns
red. Once he starts glowing,
give it all to him. (Booster helps too!)
With the special item equipped,
go to any forest & fight white snails. These creatures were plentiful
in disk 1 but now they
are quite rare. Killling these
creatures gives the speed belt (helps gears & human battles). Besides
this, there are many other
special items/equipment carried
by monsters.
Fighting Tip
Immediatly dash up to your
opponent and begin rapidly alternating between the X attack and the CIRCLE
dash buttons. X
will launch a kick and CIRLCE
will cancel the combo, allowing you to immediatly start another. With a
bit of practice, any
gear (including the Champ's)
will be in endless stagger until it croaks. Battle on, Fei!
Free Gear Repairs and Easy Fuel
While in the secret base which
houses "Goliath" you will undoubtedly encounter gears surrounded by mechanics
which
repair them. When this happens
kill the mechs but leav the mechanics unharmed. After the mechs are dead
let the Mechanics
"attack" you but instead of
attacking you they will fix your gear for a couple rounds.
After awhile they will no longer
fix you but attack you however they only cause 1 point of damage (if that!)
so instead of
killing them charge your fuel!
By the time you have full fuel capacity they have only damaged you for
about 10 points (not
even that if you gear is half-way
good!)
Fun Things to Do
1: In Lahan Village search
Fei's bed you will find two hundred smackers. Also search the barrles
near Fie's room you will
find two aquasols.
2: To get a Movie scene at the begining talk to the maid in the room across from Fei's room to get a cool movie scene.
3: This one is use less but
fun go behind Alice's house talk to the boy he says that he had a crush
on Alice. Most of the
people talk about Alice so
talk to them.
Get the Deathblow Item
When you are on the Thames,
you will encounter people who challenge you to a game that is similar to
speed. If you win
against all the people located
in the Beer hall and the Supply Grounds, go to the Armor grounds and play
against the female
who is standing with two men.
If you bet her, she will give you a deathblow item for your gear.
This item will allow you to
do a deathblow attack.
Haggle with the Merchant
When shopping at the Beldavik
Market, the merchant will give you option to buy it or not. Don't choose
anything. Just wait
for a while and the merchant
will lower the price of the item. You can do this at least 3 times before
the merchant tells you to
leave.
Help on Beating Calamity
At the end of the Stalactite
Cave you will meet a huge Gear. Not a happy camper, Calamity the
Gear will be a large
problem. Make sure Fei
and Bart are on high levels (20-25), even though it is still hard
to win at that. Have Bart cast Wild
Smile on Calamity, making it
hard for him to hit you with any of his physical attacks. Next,
hit him with all your ten point
attacks, and save your energy
until your gear power is at level one. Use your best level one combos for
both Fei and Bart,
hopefully huting the huge gear.
Keep in mind that Calamity has 2500 Hp. It will take a while to wear
him down. Don't be so
happy about how much he can
hurt you,his missle attack will still hit you a whopping 400-500 damage,
not giving you much
time. But if it ever comes
to this, use Fei's Guided Shot as your last defense.
Lahan Well Items
At the start of the game in
Lahan, jump down the well a few times. You'll get an eyeball (sell it for
gold) an Aquasol S, a
Power Ring, a chill (yes, a
chill) and a lot of "well" puns!
Lucca Cameo
This isn't really a code, but
it's fun to see! Remember Lucca in Chrono Trigger? Well, she's
in Xenogears! When you first
start the game and take control
of Fei, go to the Information House (left of the Elder's House).
There, if you look closely,
you'll see that it's in fact
Lucca who teaches you about Save Points.
Music Test
Just after beating "The Champ"
Rico at the arena, head over to the Wildcat Bar in the Civilian Area in
Kislev. You'll find
Big Joe standing near an alley.
He'll ask you for 5000 G to show you something cool. Give him the
gold, but he'll take it
and run. Let him have
it. Later, after the air raid by Aveh, you'll see Big Joe in the
city map. He'll apologize for ganking
your gold and tell you to look
in the alley again. You'll find the M Disc, which you can play in
the juke box in the Wildcat.
Psycho Rod
Once you have entered Elly's
house in solaris you can get a special weapon for Elly. First you have
to wait until Ellys
Mother leaves the house then
go to the North East door. talk to the woman there and she will give you
the rod.
Rename your Gear
To rename your gear you must
do the following steps.
1.Go to the gear bay
on the Yggdrasil.
2.Go towards the gear
you want to rename.
3.You can talk to the
engineer and he will give you the downlow on your gear, or you can go to
the right and there will be
a guy who
looks like he is welding something. If you talk to him he will ask you
if you want to rename your gear.
Same Gears in Battle Practice
When you select the option
of "Practice" in the Kislev Battle Arena, you and your opponent can use
the same Gear. To do
this, simply select Player-1's
gear and press the X button to select Player-2's gear. Hold down R2 and
L2 to select the same
gear as your opponent.
Secret Gear
There is a secret gear, "Argento",
in the Battle Arena at Kislev. Put on Special Mode 1. Go to Bonus Battling.
Put the
options on 3 rounds, Hard difficulty.
Beat ALL the gears without losing
a round. After that, beat the gear you were playing as with Xenogears (Fei's
gear). In the
character selection, Argento
will be to the left of Weltall.
Sound Test
When you are in the Yggsdrasil,
go to the control room and talk to the large dolphin-like control man.
Choose the top
selection for a sound test.
He'll keep asking the same question over and over. Select the first choice
again for a new sound,
or pick the second choice to
leave.
Stones of Dawn, Dusk and Darkness
If you go to Shevat (the UFO
country), go into the old capital area. If you wander around you will find
a store full of
Chu-Chus. Go onto the balcony
and talk to the pink Chu-Chu on top of the light cone (you have to jump
and hit [X] when you
touch her), she will tell you
about Light, Darkness, and Dawn. She is giving you a clue to where to find
the Stones of Dawn,
Dusk, and Darkness.
To get the Dark Stone, go down
the elevator in the Chu-Chu store and go out of the door. You'll meet an
old woman who will
sell you some Spider Web (unless
you got the web in the beginning of the game) and tell you to fish in the
fountain. Go back
to where you came out of, jump
to the top of the fountain, and hit [X].
Fei will pull up a fish with
the Dark Stone in it's mouth. Now, go to the ruined house in the old capital.
In the first room there
is a doll on the table by the
door. It is holding the Dusk Stone. Now go outside onto the main part of
the saucer (with the
angel statue and the red things).
Go as far as you can in the direction the statue is facing and search.
You now have the Dawn
Stone.
Go back to the old capital and
step on the circular stone under the arch. Now hit [X] and choose to go
down. Go down the
staircase, out the door, and
go to the elevator pad you can see. Step on, activate it, and Fei will
put the three stones in it. The
pad will now take you to a
secret room. Search the two lowest tables. One has a Chu-Chu idol that
Chu-Chu can equip when
she joins you, and the other
one has a ton of goodies.
Tifa Cameo
Just before you put in the
second CD, you can see a picture of Tifa from Final Fantasy 7. When you're
in Solaris, in the Class
2 Citizen Sector, find the
room with a minigear flying around in a circle. Look above the beds and
you should find a small
picture of Tifa on the wall.
View Gears
After winning two rounds in
the battle arena in Kislev, press R2+L2 to get the words off the screen
that shows how long it
took you to win the battle,
then you can rotate your Gear by pressing left or right.
