You change to ruby and press R2 to aim and then press X, NOT O! The game lies when it tells you that.

If you find your self posined or with an other states condition eat something like a trobbing cherry or a gooie peach and that status condition will go away.

Good way to make use of what you have!

If you build jacks home first and then gaffers store jack will help with the sign and you will have much more items

In hard dungeons like the Sun/Moon Temple you should always keep a few Stand-In and Revival Powders they are very usefull for example: If Toan is your best player and he dies you can use Stand-In powder to select your second best player, then he can use Revival Powder to heal Toan! Neat Huh?
Hope I Helped!

1. Divine Beast...
Use both of your characters...use Xiao to hit him while he is flying, and he will fall...switch to Toan, attack with your sword. You can use stamina potions and feathers but it's not neccesary. If you do it right he'll be dead in no time and you should take little to no damage.

2. Forest Guardian
Again, multiple characters is the key, though you don't really have to do it this way. Auto target the monkey...see how it targets his big hairy toes? And golly..you have a big hammer...smash em! Get close, wait until he swings at you and move in close and attack. He will be stunned, giving you time to use your strongest character to move in and attack a while. Repeat until he's dead. Again, feathers and potions are helpful but far from essential.

3. Shipwreck...ice queen
Hands down this is the most annoying boss in the game. A couple ways to approach her: a)Stock up on feathers and potions and run in circles until you get close...when you are within range, use your sword to attack until it breaks her shield...then back off and use a ranged attack with the fire element. Repeat. B)This takes longer but it's really easy. Equip Ruby and Xiao with a fire attack. When the battle starts, run and hide behind a pillar. This will block her attack that freezes you. Pop out between her attacks and shoot her with Xiao until it says "no effect"...switch to Ruby and shoot her once (more will have no effect) then back to Xiao. Just repeat this until she's dead. It takes a while.

4. The Kings Curse
Again, you want to use the person you just got. Notice how the boss is made up of that black wind stuff that Ungaga could blow away? Same idea here. Get some distance between you and the boss, turn and face him and hold down the attack button to do his special. The boss will walk right into it and be stunned, giving you a chance to switch to your strongest cahracter and whack him. Switch back to Ungaga and repeat.

5. Minotaur.
This is one if the easiest if you get the trick. I used Toan exclusively. Make use of his affection for those kegs by standing with one between you and the minotaur. He will charge you but stop when he hits the keg and pick it up. While he is drinking it you have time to charge in and hit him. When you do he will run off giving you time to find another keg to hide behind. You can also use a ranged attack while you are wating for him to come back if you want.

6. Dark Genie
Form 1-He thrusts up his hands at you, not too hard to avoid. Notice on the hands what color eyes there are and match your elemental attack to that. The wind attack happens once in a while which is pretty much unavoidable. I wouldn't worry about it though, you'll need your resources later. If he ducks under his wings, he will be changing the color of his hands, so be prepared to switch elements. Just keep hacking at him and eventually...

Form 2- He will now do the unavoidable wind thing ALL THE TIME. Ugh. Stamina potions are great here, you still fall down but don't take any damage. The laser attack it's easily avoidable. Just switch to whoever has the strongest ranged attack and go to work on him.

Form 3- Ok, this is tricky because there is a lot going on, if you get hit you are dead quick and the background is disorienting. But, it's not that tough. I used Toan with the holy element. Your first priority is to get to the boss while his head is down and his mouth is open. Don't try to target, it will probably target one of the skeletons wandering around and turn you and ...ahh it's bad. Besides, the crystal in his mouth is beig enough that if you can't hit it, well, you shouldn't have gotten this far. SO...run up hit his mouth. Right away, he will stomp a foot and these energy waves will come at you. Run away from them and back around in a little circle, so you end up right back at his mouth. Hit him again, run in a circle. Repeat and he'll be dead in no time.

If you MISS...or take too long doing the circle...he will sit up and do his laser attack. DON'T GET HIT. It takes a lot of HP away. Just run around frantically until you hear it stop and charge his mouth again.

Twigsterxd, the "flapping duster" was NOT left out, the back room key is the Flapping Fish in the english version, they can be found in the dungeon or bought from Ruty. They will rot after 2-3 levels in the dungeon unless you have ice blocks.

The best way to get gems is to buy lots of poisin apples,then go fishing in Muska luka when it is dusk.Try to catch as many mardan garadyn I think thats it's name.
Then exchange fish points for them but you need 100 fish points to get 1 gem. Or you could do it the long way and go to the back of caves and get the keys to the backfloors over,over again.Your choice

In the Gallery of Time, the Back Floor key is the Flapping Duster.
In the American version of the game you won’t find it.
When they were translating the game it was left out. So don't bother looking for it.

1. Get the serpent you got to go to were goro lives and duel him and win

Alright you gamers who hate weak weapons but have one strong weapon here the hint for you.

1. Select the strongest weapon that you have(200-999).

2. Go find a monster that you can kill one hit that gives you alot of ABs and kill it but once you get done with killing the monster quickly switch your weapons with a weaker weapon before the monster vanishes(ABs are gained at that time).

This works if it does not go faster you can do it. This will work.

If you keep the kegs inbetween you and Minotar Joe he will take the keg before trying to hit you.

The actual best weapon in the game is the Chronicle 2 sword. Then it's the chronicle sword then is the zeus sword. Those are the top 3 swords.

To get the Horned key you have to complete the Drans Weedmill and then you have to open the the boxes inside it. One of the boxes will have the Horned Key.

Save up all your money for a gold bullion. But be warned, ONLY DO THIS IN NORUNE VILLAGE!!!!!

Buy a gold bullion from the old gaffer, then go to the Matataki Village ONLY THE MATATAKI VILLAGE!!!!!

Then sell it to the moustache owl in the shop. If you are very, very lucky....sometimes he'll give you more than 2,000 gold for the bullion.

But it might not happen. My cousin tried it and it didn't work. But it might for you! It worked for me.

Good Luck, misty_cat.

To beat the ice queen get an ice amulet and then buy 45 bombs then equip the bombs then batter her.

Good luck

Don't look at what your character is doing just concentrate on the blue line giving you instructions.

Only watch the little blue bar do not watch the battle that is what will mess you up........

When you face the kings curse at the end of the sun and moon temple you use Ungaga's wind move by holding the X button then it will reveil the target and then unlish the fury.

On the ice queen that is trapped at the bottom of the shipwreck you can kill her just by using various items that you have collected. The fire gem works the best and so do bombs.

Just keep selecting an item and use them until she dies. This way you will never even be touched in battle.

On the wind beast you encounter use the warrior ally and lock in on him (the wind that comes out of the coffin) make sure you have lots of repair powder and do the spin attack on the coffin guy about 20 times.

He will be defeated without you getting touched.

Here is a list of the build up on Bandit's Sling Shot-



1) Bandits Slingshot

2) Double Impact

3) Divine Beast Title

4) Angel Shooter

5) Ange Gear



By AJ and Kristen

For 50 bucks

Go to the Wise Owl Shop. Press down,up,

down,left,triangle. It will only work one time each time you go there.

To build the perfect weapon all you need is a few synthspheres.

The first 2 are bandit slingshot or bandit ring and kitchen knife(you get the slingshot and knife early, I used them)Level them up any way you can(try shipwreck back level 17, you get gems and powerup powders as you search and kill) the gems are self explanatory and the powerup powder gives an instant upgrade(if your close upgrade through abs then powder) get these to +5 and attach them to the weapon you want to boost(if its a ring use bandit ring for the elementals) you now have a low level high speed, attack and endurence weapon, with mid magic and the quench(slows thirst build up) and steal abilities

The next sphere is bigbucks hammer do the same and add it on for the big bucks ability and to boost attack more(you should've built up by now so the max is higher).

Now add the Scorpion from Ungaga's weapons for the poison ability



-By now I had a x2 effect space-



from here on add the gems to the x2 space and only the x2 space until build up because you lose the x2 usually



Now the optional ability is Drain from the drain seeker (ive heard it only comes if you build up to it)



If there are other abilities you want add them too



now the tough decision status break this weapon to super boost someone else or keep the super weapon on that character



Its up to you but I recommend building you 2nd best weapon like this then adding it to that characters best weapon and using gems to finish out the weapons stats but some prefer to put this on then take it off at upgrade so they can transfer the sphere to the active character maxing out the stats of whoevers fighting(personally to much of a hassle i say build each character)

To kill all the end of dungeon bosses, just throw bombs at them!!!!

Dran: Chuck bombs with toan then knock down with xiao

Utan: Chuck bombs with xiao, (it's easier than with goro!!)

La Saia: Chuck bombs and fire bombs with toan, xiao, goro, or ruby.

hope i helped !!

To Defeat Joe Minotaur use Goro. Make sure you have Dran's Feather to make Goro move quicker. Equip him with a big hammer like Big Bucks Hammer or the other one that is used by the gate keeper of hell (I forget the name of it). Be sure to walk with a few repair powders, cheese or chicken or bread and water. When the Minotaur goes to drink from a barrel run up behind him, press 0 to get the target on him and hit him. He'll go down in a few hits. I did this and he went down in 3 hits. Hope this helps. If you need any more help e-mail me: trumpet_06@yahoo.com

To defeate all the bosses but the dark genie cause I can't deafeat him: TO defeat dran all you do is use xaio and shoot'em down the be toan and attack in the side so he dosn't kick you. repeat and you will win



To defeat the forest keeper you become goro and wack his toe, then use toan to slash him (bombs work but I can't afford them)





to defeat the ice queen use toan or goro to break her shiled. then use around 26 bombs or fire gems to win.







to deafeat king's curse use ungaga and blow away by holding x then use toan and attack!! re-peat to win



to defeat minatour joe use toan throuout the whole match. buy:stamina,water,re-pair powder,and the usual. become toan use stamina and attack!!! to win when he is drinkin' the wine from the kegs chop him or he will get stamina

To Get the sun gem go to the desert and give the man who says he is hansome and give him the foundation (the purple urn or pot!)he will give you a clay doll give that to one of the moon people and there is the sun gem (i think there is only one of them in the game?)

This goes to NewPS2Gamer and everyone else.You said that you couldn't get 100 percent in the village requests.Well first you have to defeat Dran.Then go to the Hags house and put her house right in front of Drans windmill.

The easiest way to beat the ice queen is to stock up on bombs,27 at the least.Lock on to her dodge all her moves to get close to her .Start chucking bombs ALL ,she wont be able to stop your attacks so keep thowing bombs.

I don't have a hint or tip, yet. I have a question. I've been playing Dark Cloud for a while, 20 hours... but, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the Serpent Sword.



I've read the hints, I've put together the river, the "little people" have opened the flood gates, and the water is flowing to Treant... Weren't the "little people" supposed to give me something to give to Treant?



I'm so confused. Do I have to start the game all over again?

Gonzo - You'll get all the Atla once you defeat the Serpent... Goro will help you, once you beat him in a duel. Beat Goro, he'll give you the Hunter's Earring ... Give the earring to the tree and he'll give you the Serpent Sword, needed to defeat the Serpent.
