999 damage

9th Sword Orb
Here is how to get the quotMana Swordquot permanently and without a cheating device
Avoid magic attacks using pygmy hammerMoogle belt
Fly to the ice country on Flammie and look for a small circular island off the immediate coast trial and error are best here but its NOT those little itty bitty ice chunks everywhere Youll know its the right island if you are in a frozen grove with Neko surrounded by purple crystals this looks like the same area you may encounter Neko on the way to the Ice Palace to fight Frost Gigas
Fire combo
When you get Salamando from the resort you can level him up quickly by using any of the girls fire spells except Fire Sword and any of the sprites fire spells First cast the girls fire spell then as soon as Salamando appears cast the sprites fire spell If done correctly the enemy will suffer damage in the 100s and as Salamado gets stronger you can hit an enemy with up to 999 damage
Get back into Potos Village
After that Save the Game with Neko
Immediately after do a soft reset L R Select Start
Start a New Game and get to the Mantis Ant fighting as few ie none Rabites as possible When you and Elliot take a dive into the pit wait for him to say quotYouve got a sword dont you use itquot
WHILE THIS TEXT IS ON THE SCREEN perform another soft reset BE SURE TO HOLD THOSE FOUR BUTTONS FOR 5 SECONDS I dont know why those 5 seconds are required but they are
When you get back to the title screen load the game you saved with Neko in the Ice Country If you did the trick correctly all three of your characters will be in the pit fighting the Mantis Ant If you did it wrong youll stare at a blank black screen and the game will freeze Kill the weak boss took me one hit and collect your quot1stquot sword orb again Jema will pull you out and Timmy will call you to the elders house Rather than risk a crash call Flammie and high tail it to the nearest Watts location
Getting specific Orbs
At the Mana Fortress you can get a variety of different Weapon Orbs mainly the Boomerang Axe Spear and Whip For the Boomerang or Spear kill a numerous amount of Tsunamies Kill Dark Stalkers or Master Ninjas to obtain a Sword or a Axe Kill Heck Hounds for a Whip or a Bow Note If you obtain an Orb that you have nine of the game could either freeze or if you forge it will start at level 1
Getting the 9th Sword Orb and Mana Sword
First collect all eight Sword Orbs Go to the Ice Country There should be a small circular island just off the coast When you land there Flammie Neko should be there Then save the game with him Hold L R Start Select to reset the game Start a new game at the opening screen and get to the Mantis Ant You should kill as few Rabites as possible on the way there Hold L R Start Select to reset the game again This time load your old game The game should resume at the Mantis Ant with your party at your high levels Hit the Mantis Ant once to kill it You will receive another Sword Orb Jema will pull you out and tell you to visit the Water Temple Call Flammie and upgrade your sword It will become the Mana Sword and become the strongest weapon You will still need to cast the Mana Sword spell for the final enemy Note This trick will erase the file that it is used in
Hidden face
Look at the map to the east of the ice country A very small speck will appear at that location Fly there with Flammie to see a face
Hidden store
Go to the room with the bridge in the Castle of Tasnica You can enter in the south wall behind the bar Walk through this wall and speak to the man at the other side to buy some good items
Level up magic
When you get the elemental Syphlid leave the Wind Temple and go past where you fought Spring Beak and past the Sprite Village empty village As soon as you are back in the forest immediately turn left and travel until you get near some rocks that are shaped like a diamond There are about six rocks in all with four forming a diamond When you start to get very close some of the pink rabbits will start hopping towards you Back up slightly to avoid getting hit and to prevent your uncontrolled characters from hitting them Since they cannot get to you because of the rocks immediately start chaincasting spells cast a spell wait for the corresponding elemental to appear then cast another spell as soon as it disappears Just keep doing this to dramatically raise Undhine Gnome and Syphlid If you run out of magic just walk back to the right and head for the Wind Temple The old man there will automatically refill your HP and MP This trick also works when you get the other elementals As you raise their levels it takes longer so it may seem slow when trying to build up to levels 7 and 8 However by then you should have enough MPs to survive
To level up your healing magic for the girl faster just use it all on everyone Go to Luka sleep for free and repeat
Longer lasting moogling
First moogle a person then turn them into a midget This is particularly effective in preventing CPU controlled players from stealing your characters skills
Ocean desert
This trick is difficult to do You must have the Luna Palace on your right and you must be facing exactly North on Flammie Fly as fast and as low as possible holding B The first place Flammie will land will be the desert It will be a portion with stars on the ground Without moving use the Flammie Drum Flammie will pick you up and you will find yourself directly above the ocean Note If you are a fraction of an inch off you will not land at the correct place
Super Powers
You now have the most broken weapon in Secret of Mana at your disposal without needing to cast Mana Magic ever again
