P.E. TRICKS
One big problem with your Parasite Energy (especially when you start to use Liberate) is that the more you use it, the slower it recharges. There are two ways to give it a bit of a "jumpstart". The first way is to change you armor in mid-match. Since the ammount of P.E. you have is related to the type of armor, switch armor and you switch your ammount of P.E., which is basically resetting it. A second way of "jumpstarting" your meter isn't as easy. If you have a "Revive" on you or have used the P.E. power that reraises you, when you die you are brought back and your P.E. recharges as if it was at a new rate.
EXTRA BULLETS PART 1
Use the following trick to get 60 bullets. When you are backstage at the Opera House, you will see a hole. Do not jump down there yet. Instead, go outside of the Opera House. There will be two policemen and anotherman. Ask the policeman at the far right for bullets until he says he ran out. He should give you around 60 bullets.
N PROTECTOR
In the beginning of the game, after the clown in the basement dies. Check the room right below the room with the save phone. There is a suit of knight's armor and a dresser next to it. Search the wall next to the knight, and the wall will crumble. Crawl through the hole to find a N Protector armor that has a very good critical rate.
EXTRA POINTS
Complete Day One without saving the game to reveive extra Bonus Points when the following day begins.
REVIVES
At the start of the game when you enter the sewer, you will reach two sets of stairs. Go past them, get all the chests around the area, then return to the stairs. Go up them, and when you get to the end where it bends around, you will enter a fight with two rats. Your reward prize for beating them will be two revives. If you did not get into a fight with them, walk around for a few minutes and then go back up until the battle starts. This usually works more often in Ex mode.
SECRET ROOM 1
When in the sewers just after Eve burns everyone in the opera hall, go up on the stage and battle Eve. She will talk to you after you defeat her and run away. Follow her. She will go down into the sewers after a short amount of time. Keep following her. When you first enter the sewers, go all the way to the back of the room instead of following the little girl. Turn right and follow the wall until you find a secret room. Once inside you will see two item boxes. Go all the way to the right to find a valve. Turn the valve and then return to the exit. You will see a new box. Inside is a Medicine 2, which can be very helpful during the alligator battle.
EXTRA BULLETS PART 2
When in the police station open the box inside the weapons storage room to collect thirty bullets, it is on the desk. In the EX game it is only a Ammo +6. This may be done a total of ten times for a total of 300 free bullets or 60 free bullets in EX Mode.
TRACK THE HELICOPTER
Press Select at the city map screen to track the helicopter as it flies around the city.
SECRET ROOM 2
In Day Four while in the police station, go to the second floor to find an open gate. Go to your right to reach a wall. There is a hidden door here that leads to a secret room containing two boxes. The first box contains a tool or some other item, it varies. The second box contains ammunition or some other item, this also varies.
UNLIMITED TRADING CARDS
In the hospital, after returning from the basement, go into the double doors in the first room of the hospital that are newly unlocked. Once in there defeat the enemys and search the top of the room for a turned over cart. Behind this cart is trading cards, a lot of them. So many are there that they can fill an inventory of any size! But once you pick one of them up the rest will only be there as long as you stay in the room. So be sure to have a lot of space in your inventory when you pick up the first one of these.
SUPER TOOL
A super tool can be found in the sewer, in one of the dead ends. When you climb down from the ladder, go to the left and check all the dead ends. After reaching one, stop and check along the left side, about half-way up. The tool will glitter to give you an idea of where to pick it up.
SECRET AREA 3
On the second floor of the museum, go into the control room with the monitors and save point and go into the far right corner, You should walk off-screen and if you keep walking down, you'll end up in a secret elevator. Just go up to the 4th floor from there and be pleasantly surprised.
FINAL FANTASY REFERENCES
There are two cute little Final Fantasy references in the game. The first is the sign outside the Musuem at the world map. The second is the birds in the Musuem's prehistoric bird exhibit.
EX GAME MODE
Complete the game once to enable an option that allows the game to be played in a new mode. This mode also includes access to the Chysler Building shortly after Day 2. In the Chysler Building is the real ending of the game boss. It should be noted that if you are going to try and climb up all of the floors of this enormous building and beat the "real" eve then you should be ready, because this is a very difficult task.
RARE TRADING CARDS
There are 14 Rare Trading cards in the EX Game. For each one of these you get and give to Wayne, he will upgrade 2 weapons. If you get 12 of the cards, then then ask him to show you his T Card Collection. Once he finishes showing the T Cards, he will give the Tool Kit as a gift to you. If you manage to get all 14 cards, he'll give you a SUPER TOOL KIT once you ask to see his collection. They give you 999 to the digits of the tools carried. The tool kit and the super tool kit can be used in the same way as the tools and the super tools, but these are unlimited.
EASY MEATHOD OF DEFEATING CHRYSLER BUILDING
When looking for the item room, go right or left before going up or down. When looking for the stairs leading up to the next floor, go up whenever possible. After defeating a Boss on one of the "tenth" floors (10, 20, 30, etc.), go to the elevator, go to the first floor and leave the building. Then, go to the police department and give any unneeded items to Wayne and save the game.
TIPS FOR ACHEAVING THE REAL ENDING
Complete the game as normal, then complete it in EX mode one or more times. Keep the same armor used when the game was completed the first time. Use all the extra bonus points to strengthen your weapon and armor, then, when your ready, go to the Chrysler building and use tools to strengthen new weapons form weapons found at the Chystler building. Remember to strengthen your armor too. When going through the building get all of the rare trading cards and give them to Wayne to get the tool kit and super tool kit. This will help you to upgrade your weapons as much as possible. Also remember to have a lot of room in the inventory for the final battle with Eve.
