Hidden money

In the top room of the bucket rides at SimaFort, there's a lot of hidden cash: 3000 Z, in fact. From the spot where the filled buckets rise through, search (0,-3), (-1,-3), and (-2,-3) from this spot (these spots are along the embankment).

Carnival tip

At the carnival when you are asked to either supply 900k Z, or an Uparupa, you CAN pay the 900kZ, if you have it, but to collect this much money is a colossal waste of effort. You will end up fighting the ringleader anyway, and you will be out 900,000 coins.

Gain experience and gold quickly after you have the whale

To gain experience and gold quickly after you have the whale, visit the island of giants (northwest of Windia). There are three enemies you are likely to encounter: Gonghead (2), A.Sludge, and Chorking. Chorking is easy is you use items which cast damage-dealing spells, since full immunity does not apply in this case. These items can be bought in Guntz. Or, if you have the Chopchop attack, use that instead. The other two can be defeated after a lot of hacking and slashing. Heavy magic-users might want to Hush or cast damage dealing spells on A.Sludge to speed up the process. A.Sludges are nice in that they can be Drained for lots of AP when your magic users are running low.

Fighting K.Sludges

In the unlikely event that you encounter K.Sludges, you're probably toast, unless you have the G.Drgn spell. They have armor and mHP like a tank, are faster than a speeding bullet, and like to cast Death (and when they cast Death, it always works). In such a battle, running is probably not going to be effective. Your best bet is to pile all the spell damage you can into them - if you win you'll obtain an astronomical reward. With all that money you'll be winning, you'll be able to buy things at the armory in Guntz immediately. This stuff is the best that can be found until about the FarmTown scenario. And after you reach FarmTown, you'll be able to buy some MedusaSHs with all that money you saved up!

MedusaSH

The MedusaSH is probably the most useful shield there is: it casts Atk-Up (very nice), and is the strongest in terms of power. The MedusaSH can be bought from Maniro on an island Fishspot. Getting to this island does not require the ability to fly - as soon as you can get to Farmtown, you can reach it - just bring along Jean and hop across the islands. If you're having trouble triggering this Fishspot, remember that you need to enter a battle from the same map section where the Fishspot is - refer to the map for details. And, of course, you'll need to bring along a LOT of coins. A MedusaSH costs 50k, and you'll probably want as many of them as there are party members who can equip them.

Boombada

Boombada can be very difficult to obtain. You will be asked to play accompaniment to a bell melody with a drum (button A), and a tuning fork (button B). The melody is 8 beats to a measure, 4 measures long:

- - --_ _ _____ _-_-_-
................................

The accompaniment you must play to this is:

-A-B-- A_B_A__ B___B_-AB_-_-A A
................................

If you manage to hit all the notes somewhere close to where they should be, and don't play any extraneous notes, then you got it.

EmpireSD

The EmpireSD is by far the strongest weapon. You can reach it as soon as you can fly, but you'll need the CharmRod to have any luck fishing it out. Don't forget to get it, because when you no longer have the ability to fly the great bird, this Fishspot is off limits - TownShip can't get there (by the way, this is the only location that the great bird can get to which TownShip can't).

WindiaFt treasure room

There is a treasure room in WindiaFt that can be difficult to get to. After you have the great bird, return and the door will be unlocked.

Death spell

Death is a wonderful spell. For creatures of magic susceptibility of 3 or 4, it's a guaranteed kill. For 0 or higher, it still has a pretty good chance of success. The WorthRG casts Death, and you may buy as many of these as you like from Maniro, as soon as you can fly. Since anyone can use items which cast spells, I suggest buying 2 or 3 of them and having them readily available for use when fighting magic susceptible creatures. Just remember that Death does not work at all in battles to the death, or against spirit and undead creatures.

RE: Breath of Fire 2

Fighting Ganet

If you find the Ganet creature annoying, there's a simple way to defeat it. Even though it has full immunity, this ability is not effective against damage from items that cast spells, such as F.Spice, EmpireSD, StormRG, Shaker, etc... And, any spell damage is more than enough to kill a Ganet.

LifeBR

You can only get it after defeating Barubary, but even so it is worth the effort. Barubary will challenge the hero to fight alone. If you accept and win, you will get a hint as to where it is, but not how to reach it. You'll need to bring along Katt and Sten for their special skills - it is in the same room in which you defeat Barubary. The LifeBR is the only item which prevents Death. As an added bonus, it also gives the wearer regeneration. Defeating Barubary alone is not necessary to find this treasure, as Barubary only gives a hint as to its location.

Breath of Fire 2 Infinite Money Trick

With this "code" you can literally get infinite gold, this trick is super easy to do, it is a little time consuming but if you have time and would rather not use a game genie or a pro action replay code to freeze the amount of gold you have then this trick is for you so enjoy! Also for people who still own a super nintendo console but not a cheat device such as the ones mentioned above.

Showing how you can get as much money as you desire in Breath of Fire 2. This is not really a glitch, it's normally achieved very early into the game.

First of all, you need to get the normal carpenter, not one of the other two (who are less useful in comparison). Only the normal carpenter allows cooking, and cooking is good for so many things: restorative items, buff item magic, stat maxing (I'm not using any vitamins on this playthrough though) and also getting a lot of Gil quickly and without fighting battles. This is especially good for LLGs, but any playthrough could make use of it. Some of the endgame equipment is otherwise very expensive if you don't do this trick and you'll have to grind to be able to afford those Medusa Shields and whatnot.

So, anyway, the earliest you can get it is right after the normal carpenter builds the township and you can start cooking. For easy cooking, you want to hire Hanz (5th house) from HomeTown and just fill your inventory with Cond Ups and cook three of them for a GoldBar, then sell the Goldbars you've got and repeat the process until you have as much money as you please.

However, many people who play a perfect game of some sort may not intend to hire Hanz. I didn't on this playthrough. A very reasonable alternative for house number 5 is Yozo from Windia who increases one character's max AP by 16. Now I really regret wasting this house on him, because I used Yozo's service on Katt to give her like twice as much AP. While she could cast Bolt X after that, I actually never used it - not once - on my playthrough because Katt's physical attacks were always more damaging and by the time she gets her Devil form there are gradually less enemy parties with more than one monsters. And really, you use Bolt X and then you have no more AP to cast it any more? I really shouldn't have hired Yozo and got Hanz on this run instead.

This video shows the method of getting the ingredients without Hanz. Hanz can be hired as soon as Jean joins your party, but my method is only possible after you have Grandpa the whale. It is also more time-consuming, but less so if one of your characters knows Warp. Bleu starts with this spell, by the way.
