Disgaea: Hour of Darkness

Unlock Majin Class
To unlock the Majin class, you need each of the following classes, at at level 200: warrior, male brawler, ninja, rogue, and scout. The Majin is the best class in the game.

Instant  Level Gain
message: After defeating Overlord in (Chapter 6 - Writhing Shadow) go back to it, and there you will fight a Blue Dragon. If you have a Character or Monster you wish to level up, let them take the last hit to destroy Dragon, and they will go up one level each time it is defeated. Do this to each Character you want leveled up.

Etnas Diary
First go to the throne room and go behind the throne and flip the switch then go to the store place and press X near the skull and flip that switch, then go to the room in between the two rooms and go to the corner to the top left of the screen and press X in it and Etna should say something like " I'm going to the bathroom, Okay" and it will take you in a room with a small menu in it. click one of the things in the menu and it will bring up a message from Etna's Diary.
If you visit this room during every chapter you are supposed to get a special item in the last chapter but i am not sure about that yet

Good bonus points
Do the color combos. (they'll tell you how to do it in the game)

How to get good weapons and lots o money
The best way to get lots of money and good weapons go to the item world with at least 10 characters that are strong. And please got to weak weapon first. (you'll still get the money and the good weapons)

Hidden Switch
If you go behind the throne in the overlords castle and press X it will ask you if you would like to press a switch. Currently i have no idea what that switch does but i hope to find out soon enough

Another switch
There is another hidden switch in the skull in between the weapon and armor sellers at the beginning of the game.

Selecting Monster Character with Little Mana
After defeating a monster it will show up in Character select. It will be selected only with lots of Mana. In order to get the Monster with little Mana, go where you can fight the Monster, and keep defeating him until its Mana cost drops to where you can get it at your cost. Every time you defeat it go to Character select and watch the mana drop.

Level up characters and weapons quickly
To quickly get your characters and their weapon levels up, go to a stage that has a large amount of 'Invincibility' geopanels such as Episode 5, Stage 3. In stages like that you can manipulate the enemies onto the non-invincible geopannels and hammer away on them without having to worry about taking any damage. Once the enemies have become too weak to derive any real experience from, you can lift them and toss one onto the other to combine their levels, making one high leveled monster. Repeat the drill until your characters and weapon levels are where you want them.

NOTE: You can level your weapons by attacking allies on the invincible geo panels as well.

Quick level gaining
I have a really quick way to gain levels. This method is only available after you reach a certain point in the game. After you've reached Episode 5, Scene 3, you can use this method (Jotunheim, Terrible Cold).
This board is made up of all invincibility tiles besides one green one in the corner near the invincibility triangle.
Throw all the enemies on top of each other (increases the level of the monster, but also increases the exp). When one really powerful monster remains, lure it over near the green tile. Throw the enemy onto the green tile and trap it there with your characters and attack until all its life is gone. It will be unable to damage you because you are invincible, but you will get the exp for killing a monster that is level 112!!
Another quick way is to perform this after summoning the committee and asking them to triple EXP.

Get the most out of your turn
If you are trying to level all of your characters mainly by using team attacks, etc., move all your characters into position for a team attack. As long as none of them besides the initial attacker have not performed any actions, after the team attack you can move them back to their original locations and move them again. Repeat this as desired. This also works if your characters are just out of a healers range; you can move them, heal them, then move them back into battle.

Easy experience
In stage 5, level 3 (Terrible Cold), there is only one Geopanel that does not have the invincibility attribute. Combine all the enemies by throwing them into each other, making one high level enemy. Throw the enemy onto the Geopanel that is green. Trap him/her on the Geopanel without invincibility by surrounding him with your characters. Since all of your characters are on invincible panels you cannot be defeated, yet you can wear down the high-level enemy who is trapped on the non-invincible panel. This is a great way to jump 10 levels at once early in the game.

Get to the Jotunheim episode and go to Terrible Cold area. The entire map will be invincible except for one location. Throw all of the Sexy Demons together. This should get you about a level 114 Demon. After that, throw her all the way to the corner at the top of the map that has the "None" status and surround her, one on each side. It helps if your attack is at least 300 on each of the characters that are
attacking. It also speeds the process if you bring one or two Mages with Brave Heart. Keep casting that on your characters every turn, as it is stackable. This trick is worth the time, and gains about four to six levels for each character in the team attack.

In episode 9, level 1, there are only nine enemies in the level. They are in a 3x3 block. Use Mage's 9 square attack or Laharl's Winged Slayer attack to hit all of them at the same time. For any that remain, use your lower characters to finish them off. You should be able to kill all the enemies on your first turn, so you never get hurt. This usually works when you are between level 20 and 45 to 50.

How to level up faster:
Once you open up the area "Cave of Ordeals". Go through it until you reach the 3rd area. Here you will find 3x3 rows of enemies and the field has a "Exp 50%" Geo panel on it. If you can use a 3x3 attack to kill all the enemies in this stage in one swoop, your character will level up insane amounts. You can take a level 1 character to level 200 if they have a high enough attack. Also be warned that the enemies in this stage have high defense, either bring out other members to weaken the monsters up or you can have one warrior bravehearted by a team of mages.

Getting Testaments:
Go to Prinny Land 3 periodically, as you can steal Testament from Prinny God as many times as desired.

Overlord Priere:
Complete the "Alternate Netherworld" Side Area to acquire Priere. To defeat Priere, after killing the other two monsters, throw her to one of the floating square around the stage, and pummel using Dimension Slash (or any other desired skill/ magic's). If using physical attacks, having more than 45000 ATK is strongly recommended. Note: Her accessory Arcadia cannot be stolen.

Witch Marjoly:
Complete the "Beauty Castle" Side Area to acquire Marjoly. To defeat Marjoly, deal with the two mages first so they will not heal anybody. Then pummel her with your best attacks before she uses any of her powerful spells. Note: None of her items cannot be stolen.

Tyrant:
When the "Baal Castle" Side Area is completed, Laharl will be promoted to the "Tyrant". Whenever Laharl enters the Dark Congress, his "reputation" will be boosted, meaning that almost any proposal will be approved without bribing at all.

Training high-level characters:
As preparation to level-up the characters, you will need a tremendous amount of money; 3 billion HL is ideal, but you could gain money fairly quickly by entering the World of some powerful item, and then by selling it. Assuming that you have the highest Customer Rank, shop around and look for items on sale with at least one 40 Statistician on it. Then enter its world and subdue the specialist. Note:
Having the "exit" will save a lot of time. For one unsubdued 40 specialist, you will have 80 when its subdued. Try to subdue and fuse them until they are exactly or more than 300; which will mean you will need 150 Unsubdued Statistician. Equip the item with the 300 Statistician you have just made to the character you want to train. Then, go to Cave of Ordeal 3 and keep killing the monsters there. Having the 300 Statistician that will actually quadruple your experience. You will be leveling up four times faster than normal. However, tripling the experience using Dark Congress will not help much; it only applies to one monster. If you find Cave of Ordeal 3 too difficult, go to Field Of Virtue in Celestia instead. Then, fuse all the vampires into one and kill it. Also use this method when your character has just transmigrated and is not powerful enough to complete Cave of Ordeal 3 by himself or herself. After about one hundred levels (or several hundred after 1500+), transmigrate. This means that if the level before transmigration was 300, then transmigrate when you reach 400. Do not transmigrate when the level is lower than it was before, as this will weaken your character. Always make sure to transmigrate your character as a genius. If you do not do this, it defeats the purpose of transmigrating. Make sure to raise the monsters' levels after they get too slow. If you raise the monsters' levels to max, clearing the Cave of Ordeal 3 (level 750 and 810) will give you 20 level boosts after getting past level 2000. If you want to level-up multiple characters, then it is recommended to obtain another 300 Statistician, considering that you cannot transfer specialists within battles. Level up your weapons as much as possible. Get the legendary weapon by stealing from monsters or by bonus, and try to max it out to level 100. It is very critical to transfer as many corresponding specialists as possible; they boost the weapon power. Specialists' power does not count -- just try to fill the item with the same specialists. For example, if you were using a sword, then fill the sword with Dieticians (legendary items have 9-13 Pop in default) and boost its level. For the bow, fill it with half Dieticians and Marksmen. It is also critical to defeat all the Bosses in the Item world, as they increase item power or Pop. After finishing the 30th, 60th, and 90th floor, add another Dietician to it. To deal even more damage, train your weapon mastery skills. Using the method for Statician, collect 1900 subdued Armsmaster, equip it, and go to a stage with invincibility. Fervent Melody in Sea of Gehenna is recommended. Once there, get an ally to pummel each
other, rather than just killing monsters as usual. This strategy can gain mastery skills much faster, and you can do this as much as desired. After you are done, finish the stage. Raising the levels of each skills, however, is a big challenge. Since there is no way to boost the speed of gaining skills' levels (Armsmasters do not help them), all you can do is keep using it. This is, however, not recommended for monster characters; their skill levels will be reset to zero every time they transmigrate. The same is true for character-specific skills.

Senator Gift List rankings:
The following is a list in order from best to last when you "Give Gifts" to the Senators in order to have them vote in your favor when submitting a proposal:

1. Total Support
2. Strongly For
3. In Favor Of
4. Leaning Yes
5. Either Way
6. Leaning No
7. Against
8. Strongly Against
9. Loathe
10. Total Opposition
Of course, giving them an item that has "Must Have!" will definitely jump at least one space. If you give them an item that they are just "Interested" in, it sometimes takes two or more depending on their level. Giving them any lesser items is a waste of items unless you are desperate for votes.

Better hospital items:
When you earn prizes at the Netherworld hospital, you can get rare versions of the prizes. When a prize becomes available, just keep selecting "Get Treated" and go back and look at the prize in "Claim Prize". The stats will have changed. Keep repeating the process until it has the desired stats or rarity. Note: You do not have to heal anyone when selecting to get treated.

Ronin with 777 HP:
Create a Ronin and make her skilled. Get her to level 27 (she will have Counter 2). Equip her with the following: Broad Sword (Rarity 83, SP+ 6, Atk+ 65), Power Jacket (Rarity 217, HP+ 4, ATK+ 15, DEF+ 51), (Rare) Belt of Will (Rarity 17, HP+ 9, ATK+ 47, DEF+ 3), Muscle Victory (Rarity 88, HP+ 311, RES+ 25). If this does not work, try putting those items on her when you create her. Rarity does matter.
