Adult Emerelda and Free Money
After Shevat crashes to earth and all the continents are messed up, in about the middle
there will be a fairly large fairly empty continent. However, there will be a lighthouse -
go into it and Citan will say something then go in the door (bring Emerelda with you for something extra!). Once you're
in the big city, just wander around until Fei says something like "we can get out of
our gears and proceed on foot..." (he always says this by a door to a building). So do just that, get out of
your gears and head into the light. In one of the rooms the "heroic" music will
be playing and Big Joe will be standing there selling items and (exceptionally good) gear
parts. There will be a few chests - take what's in them and sell it to Big Joe. Then leave,
come back and the chests will be there again. Take, sell, repeat as necessary. For the
extra thing with Emerelda, in your wandering Fei will say "lets get out of our gears
bla bla bla" and there won't be a door nearby. If you look closely at the ground
you'll see a hole which you can go in. Go down the tunnels and you'll find yourself in a subway tunnel.
Go in the train and examine the front of it to get a z-charger. Exit the train and head up
the stairs. Proceed to the end of this room and watch the scene. Emerelda will grow into a
full grown woman!
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 Deus
(This tip is the first confrontation that occurs 1/2 into Disc 2)
During Disc 2, you'll come across a huge "alien life form that had been petrified for
thousands of years". This is Deus. Your first indication is to slash the hell out of
this thing. This is impossible, since Deus will recharge by 20,000 of it's 40,000 Hit
Points. The tactics here are to quickly hit Deus with your best fighter (let's say
Fenrir). Now, wait for a while as Deus may hit your characters numerous times while also
using an attack that will spell his own death. His attack that cuts you HP to half.
Keep waiting while Deus uses this attack on himself. When he uses it and the HP he loses
is one that the level 1 combo of our Fenrir can equal, whack him with our good friend.
Deus will die quickly. If you miss or your attack does not kill, just await your death as
his HP will rise by 20,000 and any of his attacks will kill you (unless you recharge).
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 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. Killing these creatures gives the
speed belt (helps gears & human battles). Besides this, there are many other special
items/equipment carried by monsters.
Defeating Ramsus
Make sure you have plenty of aqua sols or omega sols before going into battle. When fighting
Ramsus, he uses a MIRROR MODE maneuver. Don't attack him or your hits will miss - just
defend and if you have Fei you can try using Fei's GUIDED SHOT attack. This attack only uses 1 HP
but it will knock Ramsus down and he might remove his MIRROR MODE, allowing you to get in
some serious butt-kicking. He has about 200HP.
Fighting Tip
Immediately dash up to your opponent and begin rapidly alternating between the X attack and
the CIRCLE dash buttons. X will launch a kick and CIRCLE will cancel the combo, allowing
you to immediately 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
leave 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!)
Never Pay For Fuel Again!
Once you have access to the Yggdrasil, you will never have to refuel your
gears (unless you are in a dungeon). When traveling in the Yggdrasil, press the
square button to enter the walkabout. Check you gear status screen...they have all been refueled and healed!
Fun Things to Do
1: In Lahan Village search Fei's bed you will find two hundred smackers. Also search the
barrels near Fie's room you will find two aqua sols.
2: To get a Movie scene at the beginning talk to the maid in the room across from Fei's
room to get a cool movie scene.
3: This one is useless 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.
4: Go to the floating city of Thames and talk to all of the gears on the deck. One of them
will jump off the edge and kill them self!
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 hunting 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 missile
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 taking 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 download 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.
The Final Battle
When you reach the Disc 2 scenario 'First and Last', it's time to win the game. Getting
through Merkava can either be simple or hard, depending on your technique. Remember that
pressing Select lets you view the map.
AREA 1: Head for the top-right dead end which leads you to a new area.
AREA 2: Dodge those beams.
AREA 3: Your goal is to reach the red circle. The tunnels that surround you that can
connect you to other areas are the only spots where you can battle. Hop on top of certain
elevators to alter the geography here.
AREA 4: Dodge those beams again.
AREA 5: Ramsus and Miang all over again. This is where you fought these two earlier. Yes,
the save point and Shopkeeper Johnny are there. Johnny allows you to leave Merkava, do so
at your own risk. You cannot start at this spot, you'll have to travel through all over
again. Anyways, go through to where you fought Miang. Deus is in the green pit.
DEUS: Many strategies exist for him, although the best one is to take out at least some of
the surrounding orbs first. Each one eliminates at least one of Deus' abilities. The best
part, you can fight them with ANYONE! Fei doesn't need to be in your party.
Okay, which orb? At first glance they all look the same. But, they each have a different
color of electricity surrounding them. The best one to take out right away is the one that
has yellow. Remember not to take out your best 3 fighters for orb fights. It should look
like a flat yellow design on the ground. This guy can drain your fuel at 400 units per
whack. Best to equip at least 1 GNSR50 on each character (you should have at least 5 of
these for a real easy fight). Now, hit this thing with Triangle attacks. Combos don't work
here. Soon he'll die and victory is yours. Deus can't drain your fuel anymore.
Finally, take out the red one. After every one of your attacks, he'll counter attack, but
that isn't really a problem. Defeat this one and Deus can't heal.
Next switch to your top 3 fighters. Start by turning everyone's Booster on. Then just
whack the hell out of Deus. It's possible to complete this battle without restoring HP,
but remember to keep your HP above 10,000. Also, when the hands or mini-angels fly off, you'll be counter attacked
for what's usually around a combined total of 2000 HP if you have 1000 Defense.
With Deus gone, some scenes will be shown and you'll have another battle to face. It'll be
Xenogears alone against one opponent. Turn Booster on and keep using combos. With proper
equipment you should end up winning easily.
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
mini gear 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.
Mountain path secrets
On your way down the mountain path at the beginning of the game, check
the trees by jumping into them. Some of the trees contain items. One tree, closest to the end of the path, contains a spider, which you can trade with
Chu-chu later in the game for an Ether Veiler. Another tree is near the beginning but up on a cliff
contains a bird's egg. take the bird's egg, but have a lot of aqua sols on the side, because the mom isn't too happy. Hurry
to the Doctor's house, but don't give the egg back. When you eat dinner, Yui should have used the egg to make some bread and you will gain "a
little" bit of weight. This may not do much, but it sure is fun to do
Weight Hint
The weight in the game (the 'gained/lost a bit of weight') determines the
power and agility in your battle. If heavy your agility goes down and you'll be slower, but
stronger (never use this with Citan or Fei). If light, you'll be faster and you'll be less powerful.
Iron Mail Hint
When you are at the Fatima castle in the Margie raid, you will find that
there are several rooms. One of these rooms on the 1st floor has a long table in the middle and a guard sitting at it. On either side
of the table are 4 sets of armor. examine them to receive 1 Iron Mail each.
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.
Free G
When you are where Shakahn plays his organ, go to the treasure chest. Right next
to it is a book case or something. Go to it and you will see a white thing on
it. Press X and it will tell you that you can get free money. If you get the
hand in the middle of the thing, you will get one G. Do it 20 times in a row,
you will get 1000 G.
Wedding Dress
When you fight Dan, don't hit him. Instead, just heal your self when needed. It
may take a while, but soon he will talk to you, then hand you his sisters
wedding dress.
Strongest Team!!!
The strongest team in I think is Fei, Citan, and Billy. Fei you must have and is
very strong and devastating with his martial arts. Citan has a strong sword that
really kills the enemy! Billy's strongest gun is the Godfather. It has a attack
power of 72!! That's pretty powerful. To get Citan's and best weapon and Billy's, go to Duneman Island on disk 2. It
is near Aveh.
View all Cinemas
For this trick to work you must first have the
Squaresoft Collectors demo 1 (came with Parasite Eve). At the main menu of the
collectors demo, where you select what demo you want to see or play, open the
Playstation and replace the demo with Xenogears disk 1 or 2. Play the Final
Fantasy 8 demo (on the Xenogears disk) and the movies will begin to play
Well Pun
In Lahan if you go to the well and jump in you will get an item as well as a
Well Pun. You may do this several times.
200 Gold
If you check Fei's bed you will get 200 Gold!
Helpful Spider Web
If you go into the storage room in Fei's house you will see a spider web. Jump
and press X to get it. This can be used later in the game when you reach Shevat.
Movie
If you talk to the maid in Fei's house you will get a cool movie sequence.
Get Rare Items more Easily
It is possible to beat Hammer before he self destructs, after you get the second
Anima Relic. Save all your level 3 and Hyper Mode attacks until he turns red
then let him have it. You will get an item called Traders Card. When equipped
you will always get the rarest items when fighting enemies.
