Weaken Stronger Bosses
An easy way to defeat strong bosses use indirect combat before using Lyn or another direct attack. In level 10 you can also pick up a steel bow for Wil and Rath. This helps a lot against final bosses.

Getting Raven And Lucius
On chapter 16, the one where you regain Lyn's castle you can get Raven the mercenary and also have the monk Lucius rejoin your party. To do this bring Pricilla in the battle. Protect her until she reaches her long lost brother Raymond (Raven). Hopefully you do this before the soliders escape or they might hurt him. Let Pricilla talk to raven and get him on your team. Then let Raven talk to Lucius. They are great characters to add to the team.

Get Farina
In Hector's story there is a chapter called Crazed Beast. A few rounds in to the battle a Peg Knight will appear. Position Hector on the area of land closest to her at the bottom and wait. There is no threat from enemies. The enemies onland won't move unless you are close enough to attack. The enemy ballista are out of range. The enemy Peg could fly down if they are still alive (they usually are'nt) but if Hector is above level 10 this shouldn't be a problem. When Farina flies over to talk to Hector you must have 20,000 gold. If you do Hector will ask you if you want her to join. Say yes because you can get an Elysian whip from the village. Use it immediately as Farina is level 14. She will then be a Falco Knight which can use swords and are extremely powerful.

In the desert in chapter 22, a berserker will appear after a few turns or so. He will start attacking your enemies along with Pent (you can't get him yet). Have one of people (I suggest Eliwood)talk to him and he will join you. It is a pretty good idea to recruit him because he is so powerful.

Items In Hiding
I bet that most of you didnt have patience enuff to look for hidden secrets throughout the game. One secret for instances would be the many hidden items in chapter 22> the Living Legend. There are seven hidden items floating around in the sand which include: A Luna, an Ocean Seal, a body ring, Filla's Might, an Eclipse, a Light Rune, and a Hero Crest. To collect these items, just wait on a spot for an item for one turn, if an item is there, it will alert you. Matthew will have to dig them up.

Pegasus Triangle Attack
This is a special attack that can only be preformed in Hector's route. To do it you need the pegasus knight sisters: Florina, Fiora and Farina to surround one enemy. Then have one of them attack the enemy. The attack has a special animation sequence with 100% hit rate and 100% critical every time you use it.

Beat Level 27 Boss Easy
In level 27 the boss will either be Lloyd a Swordmaster or Linus a Hero. Both have an item that blocks criticals, and they do a lot of damage and rarely miss. But, if you've been using Pent and he is above level 10 and has an Elfire, then send him up to the boss alone. Make sure that no one else can get attacked by the boss, because they will probably die. Then have Pent attack the boss, he will have a 85%+ hit rate, and do 10+ damage. But the boss will have about a 40% hit rate and do almost no damage and no critical. Just drain his health with Pent and have someone else kill him if you want exp.

Beat Nergal
In The final chapter after you kill all of the other units, you will have to fight Nergal. You can kill him easy if you use Athos' Aureola and Hector's Armads. You will probably need a physic staff to heal your units if they get hurt fighting him.

Kill The Dragon
The dragon that you fight in the end has 120 HP and does a good amount of damage to anyone. The easiest way to kill it is to use eclipse. If it hits its health will fall to 60 making your job much easier. Otherwise keep using Hector's Armads and healing him if he gets injured. Once the dragon's health is low enough, use Eliwood kill him with Durandal.

Control Enemy Units
To control all enemy units that have not moved yet, move a weak character by someone who will attack them. Then lay a mine so that the enemy has to step on it to attack. Once the enemy steps on the mine and gets damaged, reset the game and choose resume chapter. All of the enemies that have not moved are now under your control. Even the bosses. Only reinforcements that come later will be free from your control, so you basically win the level easy.

In mission 24, when you must fight Vaida who is powered by Nergal, if you use the mine cheat, you can control her. Move her down to the shaman and trade her spear to him for the luna. Then kill that shaman to get Vaida's supercharged spear. If you give this spear to any unit they will get the power bonus Vaida was getting from Nergal.

Ocean Seals
Ocean Seals are probably the least known and hardest to find seals in the whole game. They turn pirates into Berserkers. There are only 2 ways to get an Ocean Seal. There's one floating around somewhere in the sand in Nabata. This one's pretty hard to find but it's free. The other is in a secret shop. This secret shop is in chapter 23 but only when you're fighting Linus. To open this chapter you must have 2 lords at level 20 and one at at least level 10. Then you have to have the member card which can be obtained in chapter 20. The secret shop is in the woods on the farthest east island on the map. To buy an Ocean Seal costs 50000 gold. Fortunately there's an arena in the town so you can get money there to buy the seal.

Secret Characters
After completing the final chapter, go to extras and click map. Choose a finished game. Complete the Tower of Valni, Lagdou Ruins, or monster skirmishes to earn secret characters. Those characters are Glen, Selena, Valter, Riev, Caellach, Fado, Ismaire, Hayden, Orson, and Lyon. They are all very powerful and carry strong weapons. THey can be leveled up easily by fighting strong enemy units.

Third Ocean Seal
The first two Ocean seals I had no idea existed, but in level 30, Victory or Death, there is a secret shop behind Limstella. It is surrounded by thickets, so you have to use Heath or another flier to get it, but make sure they have a delphi shield (lv. 26), because there's a manned ballista. Take him out, or you are DOOMED. The shop has Earth seals, ($20,000? ) Fell contracts, ($40,000), Ocean seals, ($50,000) and an assortment of staves. Get a Silver card and you won't have any trouble.

Karla The Swordmaster
Karla is a Lv. 5 swordmaster that you can only get in Hector's campaign. In the chapter Crazed Beast, send Guy to the village to the south of the Bishop. Karla is in the village. She is Karel's brother, and you don't have Karel yet. In chapter 30x, have Bartre as a Lv. 5 or above warrior. Send him to the arena, and, if neither of them die, she joins your party. Give Bartre an Iron Rune, because Karla has a Wo Dao, and will get a critical otherwise.
