In the Tomb Of The Great King (King Thornwall or
whatever name ends with the word wall), there is a
secret door in the tomb that gives you the
Demonsbane sword, which adds +59 to attack. After
you defeat the two Demon walls in the main
corridor there will be three teleport pedestals.
The middle one takes you back to the beginning of
the tomb. The others need to be activated. Take
the right path and explore the area until you
reach a room with a jewel in the wall. Activate
the jewel. An altar will rise and give you a brief
description of what it is. Take the teleporter
pedestal back to the others. Then, take the left
path. Explore the area to find another jewel in a
room. Activate it and an altar will lower, leading
you to the room with Belias. However, do not go
this way yet. Backtrack to the room with the
activated jewel and teleporter pedestal. Take it
back to the others, then take the first pedestal
back to beginning. If you defeated the first Demon
wall, behind where the demon wall was located is
another jewel. Activate it, then take either of
the new stairways to the secret area that does not
show up on the map which are to the left and the
right. When you go through the doors you can take
either way to the bottom. However, be careful as
there will be many high level elementals that fall
from the ceiling. At the very bottom of the
staircases, go towards the middle. There will be a
chest which contains the Demonsbane.
During the first trip to Raithwall's tomb make
sure to be at least level 17 and have Quickenings.
Fight and defeat the first Demon Wall you
encounter. The best way is to use a Quickening
chain to start off. You can also set the game
speed to fast because this optional Boss is not
affected by it. Make sure you do at least 6,000 to
8,000 damage during your Quickening chains. If you
run out of MP, either use an Ether or just change
that character with another who also has
Quickening(s). You will probably have to fight it
out at the end of your chains. When you defeat
this Boss, go back and save. Then, continue over
the bridge where you defeated the first Demon Wall
and proceed through to defeat another, who is
pretty easy. Once this is done, go back to where
the first Demon Wall was located and you will see
a glowing stone. Touch it to reveal two
staircases. Go down either of them and follow the
path down. You do not have to fight the enemies
encountered -- just run past them. You will reach
a chest which has a 30 to 40% chance of being the
Demonsbane. If the chest is different, quit the
game, return to the title screen, and repeat. You
can keep doing this until you get as many
Demonsbane as desired. They can also be sold for
3,000 Gil each. Note: This requires some patience
and time.

Use the following trick to gain a lot of
experience early in the game. You should be at
least level 10 (or 300 to 400 HP) before
attempting this. To do this fast, you must have
one character's first quickening. It will work
using regular attacks, but will take a lot longer.
First, go to the Giza Planes/Crystal Glade and
save at the save crystal. This is the place where
you found the little boy when making the Sunstone.
Set your battle type to active so that you can
trigger your action as soon as possible. Go out
into the Giza Planes/Starfall Field (left link)
and find the werewolves. Do not get too near yet.
If you have a quickening ability, attack the
closest werewolf with it. Once the ability
finishes, run back to the Crystal Glade (top right
link) and touch the stone to heal both HP and MP,
then go back again. Save the game every time you
kill one of the werewolves. Once you kill both,
save and restart the PlayStation 2 to repopulate
the level. When alone, each kill should give you
1,000 to 1,500 experience points. About three
kills are required to level up at level 14. The
tactic works the same way when in a party.
Note: This trick requires the ability to go to Old
Arcades and have an Esper to summon. If you want
to increase the experience of a character quicker,
purchase an Embroidered Tippet for 5,000 Gil from
the Seeq near the enterance. Buy the licenses for
the accessory and equip it, then get that
character an Esper. Find an area full of enemies
to summon your Esper and do so. Let the Esper
start killing. Every enemy killed by an Esper
gives you x3 experience, and with the Tippet
equipped, it doubles for a total of x6 experience.
Doing this will upgrade any character very quickly.
Go to the Lhusu Mines and only battle skeletons as
you run through it. As you begin to build up,
steal from them as much as possible. You will
collect Bone Fragments from them, even after a
defeat. Each skeleton will give you about about
150 experience points each time. It is possible to
reach a 83 level chain with 53 bone fragments in
about fifteen minutes. If you run out of skeletons
in a certain area (the bridge way), run to the
area where the scene with the Nethicite took place
earlier. Face a few there and work your way back
to the bridge to build it up once more. You will
also gain something for your collection for the 50
or more Battle Chain completion.
At the Dreadnought Leviathan, after defeating the
two judges and the soldiers, go inside the room
and save the princess and save the game. Once you
go outside an intermission sequence sill start.
There is an alarm sounding, and there are
unlimited soldiers that you can fight. Do not use
potions and other items. Try to save them and use
magic more. Once you are low on health you can go
back into the save room and refill your health and
MP. Keep doing this for easy experience and AP.
You can also use stealth as much as desired.
The Henne Mines is one of the best spawning places
of Pats that result in about 192 to 200 experience
points when you have four people. Do this when
Larsa is a guest and has infinite potions. Also,
you can fight the Jellies that appear. One part of
this map has many Jellies that appear all at one
time. Try pulling off a Mist: Inferno or
Cataclysm. Note: It is recommended that all your
characters have their Gambits turned on to Foe
Nearest: Fira so that you attack the slimes with
weakness to fire. It is also recommended that a
character equip Golden Armlets to double the
amount of LP earned. The easiest way to build a
chain is to turn you Gambits on in the junction
then turn them off and run to another area. Return
to the junction and turn them back on. This will
allow you to build a very good chain, and with the
Monograph for jellies you can get 99 vials of
Yellow Liquid quickly, which sell for about 50,000
Gil.
Accept the Vorpal Bunny Hunt. Go to the
petitioner, Neru (Eruyt Village/Spiritwood), then
go to the village entrance and talk to the nearby
Moogle merchant. Buy as many Phoenix Downs as
possible. Make your way to the mark at Golmore
Jungle/The Rustling Chapel. In this area you will
fight the regular enemies. Make sure you kill all
enemies in the area but do not kill the bunny.
This mark will not even want to fight you, which
makes your job easier. Once all enemies are gone
dark skeletons will appear and keep respawning.
Set your party leaders first Gambit to Foe,
Undead/Phoenix Down, or anything you have
available. The party leader will detect the
skeleton. Shoot it with a Phoenix Down to kill it
within a few seconds. For each kill you will get
either 912 or 974 experience points and 1 LP for
one second of fighting. With the Golden Amulet you
will get 2 LP per kill. The skeleton will drop
either Dark Magacite and/or Sturdy Bones. You can
build a battle chain easily. When you are done you
can go back to Eruyt village and sell all your
items. Buy more Phoenix Downs and repeat as many
times as desired. Just make sure not to kill the
bunny yet.
Equip Thief's Cuffs (a better chance to steal rare
loot gloves). Go to the Tchita Uplands and steal
from the Coeurl. You can get the Embroidered
Tippet which doubles the experience for the
character in use, making all enemies in the Tchita
Uplands worth over 1,000 experience points each.

The easiest way to gain money fast at the
beginning of the game is to do the first hunt
mission. Also, Steal from the Cactoid in the
Eastern Sands. You will Steal a Cactus Fruit
usually. This sells for about 77 or more Gil each,
allowing you to get a decent amount of money to
start the game.
Once you can access the Salikawood after the
Mosphoran Highwaste in Nabradia you can do this
trick. Go north into the section of Salikawood
called Quietened Trace. There should be a Gate
Crystal. Save the game and switch to just one
character. This character should be able to equip
the Thief's Cuffs accessory. Enter the Grand Bower
section of Salikawood. The Giant Bomb optional
Boss will appear. Steal from it, then exit the
area. Heal at the crystal and repeat as much as
desired. The three items you can steal from him
are Bomb Shell (common) which sell for about 900
Gil each; Fire Crystal (uncommon) which sell for
about 100 Gil each; and the Bomb Fragment (rare)
which sell for about 2,000 Gil each.
After defeating the optional Esper, Zeromus
(Stilshrine of Miriam), you can reenter the Throne
Of Veiled Gods and chain the Dark Lords. The Dark
Lords drop Blood-Darkened Bones that sell for a
little over 1,400 Gil each. Once you reach a
decent chain, each Dark Lord can drop up to four
Blood Darkened Bones, worth about 5,600 Gil. After
attaining 99 bones, use the Teleport Stone to go
to an area with a store (Mt. Bur-Omisace
recommended; it has a merchant near the Teleport
Stone). Sell all your items. The 99 bones will
result in about 140,000 Gil. Also sell the Dark
Crystals, Pebbles, Capricorn Gems, etc. Keep the
Teleport Stones. You will occasionally find Dragon
Mails from them as well (worth 6,250 Gil each). To
respawn the Dark Lords, just leave and return to
the map via the Waystone (use it three times). The
Dark Lords should have respawned.
In the Easternsands, steal from the Cactus. Once
in a while you will obtain a Broadsword which
sells for 200 Gil each.

After you get the key that goes to the special Barheim Passage entrance in the Dalmasca Estersand, go into it. Make sure you search through the ENTIRE area that you first arrive into and kill every Mimic/Mimeo/Tiny Mimic/etc. That you find (sometimes the act like treasure, so just to be safe, kill everything. More loot = more gil, an added bonus). Go into the area just north of this, and again, make sure you find and kill all Mimics and Mimic-like creatures. Next, go west into the East/West Bypass. Once you get to the end of the short entrance tunnel, past a few Bombs, make an immediate right that heads back the way you came, but on the other side of the little fence. There will be multiple traps in your way, so its best to have Float cast on your party (or another way to get past traps safely). There should be the rare creature Minibug at the end, from which you can steal he Wrath of the Gods (it is very difficult to steal from it, so it is best to have the Thief's Cuffs equipped on the player doing the stealing). There are also 3-4 Mimeos pretending to be treasure here, too.

After you defeat the Mandragora Prince, Onion Queen, Topstalk, Alraune King, and Pumpkin Star in the Sochen Cave Palace, in your Bestiary it shows them as not being boss creatures, but as being from another area (The Feywood). Once you are able to get to the Feywood, go to the Icefield of Clear Sight, kill everything in the area (this does require a minute or two of good searching and hunting), then walk back out. Come back, and all five should be running around the area. (Please note that there will only be one of each of these creatures at a time. To find more of them, you will have to leave, come back, kill everything, leave, come back, and kill a lot. ).
