Defeating Rod

When you pay the 100G to fight him, run behind the small house on the left side of the field -- this is your safety shield. You must always keep yourself and Rod separated by the house. You can strike him with by pressing X (w/ Rue), but he can only hit you with one move which he uses very sparingly. Keep pounding him from behind the house until you win. Afterwards, collect your 1000G award from him. If you are using Mint, hit him with magic through the house.

Defeating First Valen

Note: This only works with Rue. Make sure you can turn into Jinn when you fight Valen. Turn into him when he finishes talking, and kill his little henchmonster with the Jinn's regular attack. Then, move near Valen (in Claire's body) and use the Jinn's Sonic attack, which will home in on Valen/Claire. If he summons his henchmonster again, kill it with regular attacks. Keep repeating this until Valen is defeated. Note: The henchmonster's Earthquake Jump will not affect you when you are a Jinn.

Legendary sword, shield, and helmet

Once you get all three legendary items, do not sell them. Take them to Jargen's tavern (in the alley to the right of Tonio's shop). He will ask you to give theme to him. Accept his offer. When you go back and he asks if you want a drink, there will be a new option called "Today's Special". Select it and he will ask for the ingredients (monsters). If you have them, give them to him and he will make a "Monster" dish. These foods will raise stats.

Get a silver coin

You can race Klaues' daughter when you are looking for her parents. If you defeat her, she will give you a silver coin.

Rare wine

Give the wine to Hobbs and you will get a drastic price cut on the power ups.

The Last Hero

Give the book to Rod to get four strength ups.

Spooky statue

For Rue, give this to Klaude. For Mint, give it to the sales person in the hotel.
