Extra Human Class
Experience for Weapons
Right after the Minotaur battle in the Wine Cellar, you can use a training dummy
to practice your chain combos. This dummy counts as human experience on your
weapons, so you can use it to built up that affinity
Skip Intro Sequences
In Vagrant Story for the first generation Playstation one can skip the
introductory cinema that introduces the plot and shows Ashley arriving at the
manor. This can be done by pressing the start button a few seconds after the
first view of the manor fades into view fully. (The screen with the rain and the
location/time subtitle) This will bring the player to the second intro that
begins with a quote. If the start button is pressed again at this screen the
game will skip ahead once more and show the playable Ashley sprite inside
the wine cellar. This trick skips about ten minutes of exposition and also skips
the battles with the two guards and the Wyvern. Nice time saver.

Hints
Dragons & Wyvrens
When fighting any dragons or wyverns, run up to them
and get under their heads. Focus your attacks at the head and neck (the most
vulnerable parts). If you stay close to the dragon's body, you'll never have
to experience it's breath weapons
New Area and Weapons
Complete the game once and the next time you play it
you'll be able to access new areas and be able to get new weapons.
Rare Grimoires for five different spells in one
location
At the Sinner's Corner save point/teleport/room and
the four rooms immediately surrounding it is a phantom class enemy called
the Dark Eye. After a Dark Eye is defeated it may drop a Grimoire for one of
five different, rare, warlock class spells. Those spells are Solid Shock,
Lightning Bolt, Fireball, Vulcan Lance, and Dark Chant. Note: These
Rare Grimoires are dropped very infrequently, and some time is needed to get
them.
Rare Grimories without Dark Eye:
In the Iron Maiden B1 you'll fight 2 wraiths and a gargoyle when you kill 1
of the wraiths and you will get a grimorie for Dark Chant, Lightning Bolt,
Fireball, Vulcan Lance and Solid Shock. But some time is needed to get them
and you reach Iron Maiden B1 befor you reach Sinner's Corner.
Rare Grimories in one place.
In the Iron Maiden B1 you'll fight 2 wraiths and a gargoyle. When you kill
one of the wraiths, it will drop a grimorie for Dark Chant, Solid Shock,
Vulcan Lance, Lightning Bolt and Vulcan Lance, but it may take a while so
you will need to be patient and you get their before the sinners corner dark
eye cheat
Combining
When two items that are exactly the same are
combined, the resulting item will be the same type of item, but will have
higher stats. For example, if you have two identical short swords and
combine them, you will lose those two short swords and get a new third short
sword, with slightly higher stats.
Save MP when healing
Cast the healing spell when you are in battle mode.
This will give you more HP than just healing when in normal/relaxed mode.
Training dummies
Throughout the game you will find training dummies
near save points. These training dummies allow you to practice combos and
power-up your weaponry. The locations of the training dummies are as
follows.
Wine Cellar, "Blackmarket": Human dummy Wine Cellar, "Worker's Restroom": Human dummy Abandoned Mines B1, "The Dark Tunnel": Beast dummy Catacombs, "Hall of Sworn Revenge": Undead dummy City Walls North, "From Boy to Hero": Phantom dummy City Walls South, "The Boy's Training Room": Dragon dummy Town Center East, "Gharmes Walk": Evil dummy

Combine the Damascus Bastard Sword With
Hagane Wakasashi, you get Damascus Falchion.
Combine the Damascus Falchion with Damascus
Shotel, you get Damascus Khora.
Repeat it 3 more times to get the Damascus
Wakasashi.
To get the Damascus Bastard Sword
Go to the time attacks, course 7 and defeat the ogre zombie.
To get the Damascus Shotel
Go to the Temple of Kiltia, one of the birds has it. One little note:
It's tough to get the Damascus Wakasashi and it will take a long time.
It's very rare to get the Damascus weapons from the birds, or the ogre
zombie. Before you go in to the time attack in course 7, put on the magic
ward, so the spell against Death zombie will be unaffected. Save you
games, after obtaining any Damascus items.
Other Combinations
Combine a Wakizashi and a Halberd to make a Sage's Staff. It is a very big staff
that will have a very high damage. Combine a Shotel and a Falchion to make a
Khora. Combine two Khoras to make a Kopesh. Combine two Kopesh to make a
Wakizashi. Try combining two Wakizashi but a a lot of patience to do it. It
really takes a lot of time.
Combine a Wakizashi and a Sage's Cane to make a
Destroyer, the best heavy mace in the game.
Combine a Wakizashi and a Bardysh (polearm) to make the best crossbow with
a range of 12. It has a higher compared to the Siege Bow that has a range of 11
and you can make it by combining a Rune Blade and a Destroyer.
Combine a Crescent (axe) and a Khora (sword) to make a hammer that describes as
" an immensely heavy hammer".
You can make the Crescent by combining two Bullovas. To get a Bullova, combine
two Tabars.
You can get a Khora by combining a Shotel and a Falchion.
Get the Excalibur (the great sword that the last boss has) by going back to the
room behind you after you fight Asura in Iron Maiden 3. You will also acquire a
gem which is named Arturos that will give you a lot of attacking power on your
weapon. It is very powerful and the great sword, Excalibur, is very hard to get
so be very patient.
When you encounter any enemy, use the Sorcerer magic which is Analyze on the
enemy. If it did not miss, go to your status. Then press R1 of L1 to see his
status. It would help you in killing him because you'll know how much is left in
his life or his magic. You will also be able to see the weapon, shield, or armor
he is wearing. You will see his Strength, Intelligence, and his Agility.
Metallurgy 101
There are 5 kinds of metals in the game. They are Bronze, Iron, Hagane, Silver,
and Damascus. I ordered them from the weakest kind to the strongest kind. If you
have a Rapier, for example, made of Bronze, its damage is lesser than the Iron.
Next to Iron is Hagane. But Hagane is stronger than Silver but Silver weapons
can damage more on the Undead enemies. If you have a weapon made of Damascus,
then congratulate yourself for you have the best kind of metal.
If you already have a good armor, don't bother using the defense abilities
because it will just make your Risk higher.
The Best Weapons (on different categories):
-Wakizashi (the best one-handed sword)
-Arbalest (the best bow)
-Sage's Cane (the best cane)
-Holy Win (the best two-handed sword)
(you cannot make this kind of Great Sword, you'll have to acquire it from
the Dark Crusader in the Iron Maiden 3!)
-Destroyer (the best heavy mace)
-War Hammer (the best one-handed mace)
-Crescent (he best one-handed axe)
-Halberd (the best two-handed axe)
-Bardysh (the best polearm)
(I think I already have given the materials to combine to make these weapons.)
