Lucca Cameo | Updated 08 Oct |
| Remember Lucca in Chrono Trigger? Well, she's in Xenogears! When you first start the game and take control of Fei, go to the Information House (left of the Elder's House). There, if you look closely, you'll see that it's in fact Lucca who teaches you about Save Points. |

4: Go to the floating city of Thames and talk to all of the gears on the deck. One of them will jump off th edge and kill themself! |
Boss Fight Miang | Updated 08 Oct |
*Note: This may be a spoiler for some of you. After defeating Ramsus for the last time... when Deus is about to be ressurected again, you will be taken into battle with Miang... Her attack ranges from 0-5000 HP about every 4 turns.
If you are hurting from your battle with Ramsus that is OK. Start charging your gears as soon as you start the fight with Miang. As long as you don't attack she will only hit you for 0 HP this will enable you to restore your Fuel, and also your HP before you begin attacking.
Once your gears are restored to about 15000 HP and at least 1000 Fuel attack using X with one person per round between Miangs attacks... It will hit her for about 1400 - 1700. Then, when she attacks you it will hit for about 250. Keep doing this until everyone is at attack level 3 then let her have it - she will die... this becomes an easy battle. |
Defeating Deus | Updated 08 Oct |
(This tip is the first confrontation that occurs 1/2 into Disc 2)
During Disc 2, you'll come across a huge "alien life form that had been petrified for thousands of years". This is Deus. Your first indication is to slash the hell out of this thing. This is impossible, since Deus will recharge by 20,000 of it's 40,000 Hit Points. The tactics here are to quickly hit Deus with your best fighter (let's say Fenrir). Now, wait for a while as Deus may hit your characters numerous times while also using an attack that will spell his own death. His attack that cuts you HP to half.
Keep waiting while Deus uses this attack on himself. When he uses it and the HP he loses is one that the level 1 combo of our Fenrir can equal, whack him with our good friend. Deus will die quickly. If you miss or your attack does not kill, just await your death as his HP will rise by 20,000 and any of his attacks will kill you (unless you recharge). |
Adult Emerelda And Free Money | Updated 08 Oct |
| After Shevat crashes to earth and all the continents are messed up, in about the middle there will be a fairly large fairly empty continent. However, there will be a lighthouse - go into it and Citan will say something then go in the door (bring Emerelda with you for something extra!). Once you're in the big city, just wander aruond untill Fei says something like "we can get out of our gears and proceed on foot..." (he always says this by a door to a building). So do just that, get out of your gears and head into the light. In one of the rooms the "heroic" music will be playing and Big Joe will be standing there selling items and (exeptionally good) gear parts. There will be a few chests - take whats in em' and sell it to Big Joe. Then leave, come back and the chests will be there again. Take, sell, reapeat as necesary. For the extra thing with emerelda, in your wandering Fei will say "lets get out of our gears " and there won't be a door nearby. If you look closely at the ground you'll see a hole which you can go in. Go down the tunnels and you'll find yourself in a subway tunnel. Go in the train and examine the front of it to get a z-charger. Exit the train and head up the stairs. Proceed to the end of this room and watch the scene. Emerelda will grow into a full grown woman! |
Change Gears Quickly | Updated 05 Oct |
| Press L2 + R2 when on the world map or at a place that you can use your Gears to hop in and out without going to the menu. |
Hint: Defeating Hamar | Updated 28 Sep |
| This is useful during disc 2. A monster called Hamar, who self-destructs after he glows red, is located at the dungeon where Rico gets his new Gear. The explosion is lethal, but the party can escape before Hamar explodes. However, the trick here is to kill him before he blows up to receive a special item that increases the chance of receiving rare items to 100%. Reserve some infinity or level 3 attacks until Hamar turns red. Once he starts glowing, give it all to him. (Booster also helps). With the special item equipped, go to any forest and fight white snails. These creatures were plentiful in disc 1, but now they are quite rare. Killing these creatures gives the speed belt (helps gears and human battles). Besides this, there are many other special items/equipment carried by monsters. |
Kijin Sword | Updated 28 Sep |
| At the episode "First and Last", you will find yourself in the Snowfield Hideout. Citan must be in your party. Find the Gearshop and there you will find a passage way. At the end of the passage, you'll find a hole. Enter it and you'll find a man in a large area. Unequip the Kishin Sword from Fenrir then talk to that man. After a bit long talk he will present to you the enhanced Kishin Sword now known as KIJIN. |
The Final Battle | Updated 25 Sep |
When you reach the Disc 2 scenario 'First and Last', it's time to win the game. Getting through Merkava can either be simple or hard, depending on your technique. Remember that pressing Select lets you view the map.
AREA 1: Head for the top-right dead end which leads you to a new area.
AREA 2: Dodge those beams.
AREA 3: Your goal is to reach the red circle. The tunnels that surround you that can connect you to other areas are the only spots where you can battle. Hop on top of certain elevators to alter the geography here.
AREA 4: Dodge thos beams again.
AREA 5: Ramsus and Miang all over again. This is where you fought these two earlier. Yes, the save point and Shopkeeper Johnny are there. Johnny allows you to leave Merkava, do so at your own risk. You cannot start at this spot, you'll have to travel through all over again. Anyways, go through to where you fought Miang. Deus is in the green pit.
DEUS: Many strategies exist for him, although the best one is to take out at least some of the surrounding orbs first. Each one eliminates at least one of Deus' abilities. The best part, you can fight them with ANYONE! Fei doesn't need to be in your party.
Okay, which orb? At first glance they all look the same. But, they each have a different color of electricity surrounding them. The best one to take out right away is the one that has yellow. Remember not to take out your best 3 fighters for orb fights. It should look like a flat yellow design on the ground. This guy can drain your fuel at 400 units per whack. Best to equip at least 1 GNSR50 on each character (you should have at least 5 of these for a real easy fight). Now, hit this thing with Triangle attacks. Combos don't work here. Soon he'll die and victory is yours. Deus can't drain your fuel anymore.
Finally, take out the red one. After every one of your attacks, he'll counter attack, but that isn't really a problem. Defeat this one and Deus can't heal.
Next switch to your top 3 fighters. Start by turning everyone's Booster on. Then just whack the hell out of Deus. It's possible to complete this battle without restoring HP, but remember to keep your HP above 10,000. Also, when the hands or mini-angels fly off, you'll be counter attacked for what's usually around a combined total of 2000 HP if you have 1000 Defence.
With Deus gone, some scenes will be shown and you'll have another battle to face. It'll be Xenogears alone agains one opponent. Turn Booster on and keep using combos. With proper equipment you should end up winning easily. |

Secret Inscription | Updated 04 Jul |
| On the second disc, after Emeralda has grown, take her to Citan's house in the mountains and go into the shed behind the house (where you saw that big music box at the beginning of the game). Check the sides of the box a couple of times and you will read a secret inscription. |
Secret Gear | Updated 04 Jul |
There is a secret gear, "Argento", in the Battle Arena at Kislev. Put on Special Mode 1. Go to Bonus Battling. Put the options on 3 rounds, Hard difficulty.
Beat ALL the gears without losing a round. After that, beat the gear you were playing as with Xenogears (Fei's gear). In the character selection, Argento will be to the left of Weltall. |
Help On Beating Calamity | Updated 04 Jul |
| At the end of the Stalactite Cave you will meet a huge Gear. Not a happy camper, Calamity the Gear will be a large problem. Make sure Fei and Bart are on high levels (20-25), even though it is still hard to win at that. Have Bart cast Wild Smile on Calamity, making it hard for him to hit you with any of his physical attacks. Next, hit him with all your ten point attacks, and save your energy until your gear power is at level one. Use your best level one combos for both Fei and Bart, hopefully huting the huge gear. Keep in mind that Calamity has 2500 Hp. It will take a while to wear him down. Don't be so happy about how much he can hurt you,his missle attack will still hit you a whopping 400-500 damage, not giving you much time. But if it ever comes to this, use Fei's Guided Shot as your last defense. |
Chrono Trigger's Lucca Cameo | Updated 04 Jul |
Lucca from Chrono Trigger is in Xenogears.
After the game first begins, take control of Fei and go to the Information House (left of the Elder's House).

Hint: Things To Do | Updated 20 Jun |

To get a Movie scene at the beginning, talk to the maid in the room across from Fei's room.
Go behind Alice's house and talk to the boy. He'll say that he had a crush on Alice. Most of the people talk about Alice, so talk to them. |
Hint: Anima Relic Cave | Updated 20 Jun |
| When in the Anima Relic Cave on disc 2, you can get a lot of G. Fight the Croaker Tribes to get Fangs and Scales. Fight the Tusk-Tusks to get Ivory. You can even equip the Trader Card to get nothing but Scales and Ivory. |
Hint: Lahan Well Items | Updated 20 Jun |
| At the start of the game in Lahan, jump down the well a few times. You will get an eyeball (sell it for gold), an Aquasol S, a Power Ring, a chill and a lot of "well" puns. |
Hint: Defeating The Final Boss | Updated 20 Jun |
| First, equip all Gears with Z-chargers and some sort of frame hp (such as 90). Build up to level infinity and do the following: use frame hp, charge (with level infinity charge is times ten), then attack. If this is done, you will never run out of fuel and always be healed, while doing extra damage. |
Hint: Defeating Deus | Updated 20 Jun |
| Go to Joe's shop at the Lighthouse and buy the Z-gold armor. This will you 1000 defense alone. Ignore the Omega engines because they only have 1000 fuel. Equip three DX Armors when fighting Deus. Deus will have a hard time doing more than several hundred damage with each attack. |
Hint: Defeating Calamity | Updated 20 Jun |
| A huge Gear will be encountered at the end of the Stalactite Cave. Make sure Fei and Bart are on high levels (20-25), even though it still may be difficult win at that. Have Bart cast Wild Smile on Calamity, making it hard for him to hit you with any of his physical attacks. Next, hit him with all your ten point attacks, and save your energy until your Gear power is at level one. Use your best level one combos for both Fei and Bart, hopefully hurting the Huge gear. Keep in mind that Calamity has 2500 HP, and that it will take a while to wear him down. His missile attack will still hit you with 400 - 500 points of damage, not giving you much time to defeat him. Use Fei's Guided Shot as your last defense. |
Defeating Hamar | Updated 20 Mar |
This is a useful tip for playing disk 2 of Xenogears. At the dungeon where Rico gets his new gear, there's this monster called Hamar, who self-destructs after he glows red. The explosion is lethal but the party can escape before Hamar blows up.
However, the trick here is to kill him before he blows up and he will give a special item which increases the rate of receiving rare items. (Actually, it goes to 100%.) The way to do it is to reserve some infinity or level 3 attacks until he turns red. Once he starts glowing, give it all to him. (Booster helps too!)
With the special item equipped, go to any forest & fight white snails. These creatures were plentiful in disk 1 but now they are quite rare. Killling these creatures gives the speed belt (helps gears & human battles). Besides this, there are many other special items/equipment carried by monsters. |
Defeating Ramsus | Updated 20 Mar |
| Make sure you have plenty of aquasols or omegasols before going into battle. When fighting Ramsus, he uses a MIRROR MODE maneuver. Don't attack him or your hits will miss - just defend and if you have Fei you can try using Fei's GUIDED SHOT attack. This attack only uses 1 HP but it will knock Ramsus down and he might remove his MIRROR MODE, allowing you to get in some serious butt-kicking. He has about 200HP. |
Easy Deathblow Training | Updated 20 Mar |
There are at least 2 enemys that will let you practice your deathblow combos all you want.
The creature named Phobia in the 'Ethos' dig site (right after getting billys gear.)
The creature Dorothy in solaris (before it blows up.)
Those 2 creatures will get healed everytime you strike them with a melee attack. Make sure you have a healer in your party and just keep doing the deathblow moves over and over and over.
Once you've learned all the techniques you desire, simply cast a healing spell on the monster to kill it. |
Elly's Power Spells | Updated 20 Mar |
This is how to make elly an super power. 1. buy the ether doubler at nisan (38k) 2. get power magic (gear parts) from somewhere 3. equip elly with the ether doubler and her gear with the power magic and her weakest spells take off 1000+ at the least.
Try putting 2 or 3 power magics on her and see where it leads! *note* you must be in gear for this to work! |
Evade Security Cubes | Updated 20 Mar |
| Right after the emperor has given his speech to the Solarians, Fei and Elly are spotted by some security cubes and chased into the sewers. Instead of running away from the cubes, walk instead. As long as you keep on walking and don't stop to jump the security cubes can't attack you. |
Free Gear Repairs And Easy Fuel | Updated 20 Mar |
While in the secret base which houses "Goliath" you will undoubtedly encounter gears surrounded by mechanics which repair them. When this happens kill the mechs but leav the mechanics unharmed. After the mechs are dead let the Mechanics "attack" you but instead of attacking you they will fix your gear for a couple rounds.
After awhile they will no longer fix you but attack you however they only cause 1 point of damage (if that!) so instead of killing them charge your fuel! By the time you have full fuel capacity they have only damaged you for about 10 points (not even that if you gear is half-way good!) |
Haggle With The Merchant | Updated 20 Mar |
| When shopping at the Beldavik Market, the merchant will give you option to buy it or not. Don't choose anything. Just wait for a while and the merchant will lower the price of the item. You can do this at least 3 times before the merchant tells you to leave. |
Lahan Well Items | Updated 20 Mar |
| At the start of the game in Lahan, jump down the well a few times. You'll get an eyeball (sell it for gold) an Aquasol S, a Power Ring, a chill (yes, a chill) and a lot of "well" puns! |
Music Test | Updated 20 Mar |
| Just after beating "The Champ" Rico at the arena, head over to the Wildcat Bar in the Civilian Area in Kislev. You'll find Big Joe standing near an alley. He'll ask you for 5000 G to show you something cool. Give him the gold, but he'll take it and run. Let him have it. Later, after the air raid by Aveh, you'll see Big Joe in the city map. He'll apologize for ganking your gold and tell you to look in the alley again. You'll find the M Disc, which you can play in the juke box in the Wildcat. |
Perfect Items | Updated 20 Mar |
To get the most powerful weapons for Citan & Bart, and the best armor for your female members you need to EQUIP Trader Card (which you get by defeating Hammer) on Fei and fight Dragon on the Duneman Isle. After you beat it you will get large amount of experience points and an item.
The ones I found were:
1. Death Adder (Bart)
2. Moyomo sword ( Citan)
3. Kaiser helmet (any male party member)
4. Blessed helmet (female)
5. Blessed armor (female) |

Stones Of Dawn, And Dusk | Updated 20 Mar |
Stones Of Dawn, Dusk And Darkness
If you go to Shevat (the UFO country), go into the old capital area. If you wander around you will find a store full of Chu-Chus. Go onto the balcony and talk to the pink Chu-Chu on top of the light cone (you have to jump and hit [X] when you touch her), she will tell you about Light, Darkness, and Dawn. She is giving you a clue to where to find the Stones of Dawn, Dusk, and Darkness.
To get the Dark Stone, go down the elevator in the Chu-Chu store and go out of the door. You'll meet an old woman who will sell you some Spider Web (unless you got the web in the beginning of the game) and tell you to fish in the fountain. Go back to where you came out of, jump to the top of the fountain, and hit [X].
Fei will pull up a fish with the Dark Stone in it's mouth. Now, go to the ruined house in the old capital. In the first room there is a doll on the table by the door. It is holding the Dusk Stone. Now go outside onto the main part of the saucer (with the angel statue and the red things). Go as far as you can in the direction the statue is facing and search. You now have the Dawn Stone.
Go back to the old capital and step on the circular stone under the arch. Now hit [X] and choose to go down. Go down the staircase, out the door, and go to the elevator pad you can see. Step on, activate it, and Fei will put the three stones in it. The pad will now take you to a secret room. Search the two lowest tables. One has a Chu-Chu idol that Chu-Chu can equip when she joins you, and the other one has a ton of goodies. |
The Anima Dungeon 1 | Updated 20 Mar |
There are some tricky puzzles in the Anima Dungeon. The activation code for Door Lock Area B and is 0-3-2-0.
Once in the Central Elevator, you'll have to input another code at each of the four terminals surrounding the elevator. The codes are as follows:
Address A: 2
Address B: 4
Address C: 8
Address D: 5
After entering these codes, SEARCH the area to the right of Address A. You will then be able to activiate the elevator and proceed further. |
Tifa Cameo | Updated 20 Mar |
| Just before you put in the second CD, you can see a picture of Tifa from Final Fantasy 7. When you're in Solaris, in the Class 2 Citizen Sector, find the room with a minigear flying around in a circle. Look above the beds and you should find a small picture of Tifa on the wall. |

Hint: Fighting Tip | Updated 20 Mar |
| Immediately dash up to your opponent and begin rapidly alternating between the X (attack) and the Circle (dash) buttons. X will launch a kick and Circle will cancel the combo, allowing you to immediately start another. With a bit of practice, any Gear (including the Champ's) will be in endless stagger until it is defeated. |
