Dark Cloud 2 cheats & more for PlayStation 2 (PS2)

Hints

Auto Photo Memory

When you want to make ideas you have to take a lot of pictures. If your a person who doesn't like to waste that much time than this is what you do. Every time you get a scoop and show Donny he can save the photo of an item. This allows someone to get infinite photos in a short time. Then every time you want to make an idea all you have to do is go to a journal at the top of the picture list and it will have every scoop and photo you ever took.

Easy Level Up

Take one of your strong characters (i.e., most health, strongest weapon) but not the Ridepod, and go to a dungeon that you can get minimal damage done to you. Kill the enemy with your strong person, and immediately afterwards, press L3 to switch characters or R3 to switch to the Ridepod. This is especially useful when trying to build up the Ridepod since he loses fuel easily. This makes it so he does not move or get hurt. To level up your weapons faster, alternate your characters. Press L3 immediately after defeating an enemy. The ABS points will then get distributed evenly between your right- and left-handed weapons. This way, you do not have to actually use your gun/armband to level them up.

Saving Money

Use the following trick to save Money when escaping dungeons. When you have 1000 Gilda or more, make sure to talk to Conda and buy as many gold bars as possible. Since they buy/sell for the same price, you can get your money back whenever needed. If you run out of Escape Powder, you can escape the dungeons and lose a lot less money.

Low Sword Value

Try to sell the sword Seventh Heaven at the Wise Owl shop to learn that it is only worth 1 Gilda.

Knight Boots

The best invention is Belt, Shield, and Moon. This is the Knight Boots. They are already equipped to Monica, but they can spectrumize into two attack points for weapons. You can get it at the start of the game. Sell the Attack Spheres for money. You already have the Belt. The Moon is in the sky, at night. The Shield is in the weapon shop.

Easy Photos

Spin around the room or area you are in to find all the photos you need.

Adel

Enter Max's house and talk to Adel. She will need to get items to make new clothes for you. Get the items and give them to her. Leave the room, go back in, and talk to her.

Mina

Talk to Mina and she will say that she is feeling sick. This will start several rounds of Spheda. Compete in ten rounds of Spheda.

Defeating Bats

In a level where you have to defeat all enemies with only Max's wrench or Monica's sword for a medal, you can kill the Bats easily by using Max's or Monica's charge up attacks.

Defeating Mimics

Use the following trick to easily defeat Mimics and enemies that charge. Hold R1 as the enemies charge at you. Press X button to pick them up, then toss them at a wall or another enemy to make then dizzy. Slash twice, then repeat by picking them up before they charge at you again. This works well with Mimics. Mimics are best approached from behind. This works well with those hard to hit Gemrons. It is much easier to pick them up and toss them at another enemy, and attack while they are confused.

Fishing For Giant Kaji

Fish at the location where the Shigura were at using the Lure Rod and the Minnow.

Get Any Weapon

First, you need to get the character Mayor Need. Just give him the code 1221 and you'll have him. You must get 40 medals. Go talk to him, and buy the name change ticket. Give it to a weapon and change it's name to another weapon, like "Grade Zero" "Island King" "Legend" "Last Resort" "Love" or other names. It will transform into it.

Max And Monica's Clothes

It's easy really. Just defeat Dark Element, save, "then" reset.
