Etna's diary:

There are two hidden switches in the castle. One is behind the throne, and another is near the skull on the counter of the Rosenqueen shops. Flip both of them to allow access to Etna's diary, which is in the middle corner of the intermediate hallway between the throne room and the shops. If you visit this area consistently for each chapter, you will be rewarded with a Testament item in the final chapter.



Get the most out of your turn:

If you are trying to level all of your characters mainly by using team attacks, etc., move all your characters into position for a team attack. As long as none of them besides the initial attacker have not performed any actions, after the team attack you can move them back to their original locations and move them again. Repeat this as desired. This also works if your characters are just out of a healers range; you can move them, heal them, then move them back into battle.

Easy experience:

In stage 5, level 3 (Terrible Cold), there is only one Geopanel that does not have the invincibility attribute. Combine all the enemies by throwing them into each other, making one high level enemy. Throw the enemy onto the Geopanel that is green. Trap him/her on the Geopanel without invincibility by surrounding him with your characters . Since all of your characters are on invincible panels you cannot be defeated, yet you can wear down the high-level enemy who is trapped on the non-invincible panel. This is a great way to jump 10 levels at once early in the game.



Get to the Jotunheim episode and go to Terrible Cold area. The entire map will be invincible except for one location. Throw all of the Sexy Demons together. This should get you about a level 114 Demon. After that, throw her all the way to the corner at the top of the map that has the "None" status and surround her, one on each side. It helps if your attack is at least 300 on each of the characters that are attacking. It also speeds the process if you bring one or two Mages with Brave Heart. Keep casting that on your characters every turn, as it is stackable. This trick is worth the time, and gains about four to six levels for each character in the team attack.



In episode 9, level 1, there are only nine enemies in the level. They are in a 3x3 block. Use Mage's 9 square attack or Laharl's Winged Slayer attack to hit all of them at the same time. For any that remain, use your lower characters to finish them off. You should be able to kill all the enemies on your first turn, so you never get hurt. This usually works when you are between level 20 and 45 to 50.



Getting Testaments

Go to Prinny Land 3 periodically, as you can steal Testament from Prinny God as many times as desired.



Overlord Priere

Complete the "Alternate Netherworld" Side Area to acquire Priere. To defeat Priere, after killing the other two monsters, throw her to one of the floating square around the stage, and pummel using Dimension Slash (or any other desired skill/magics). If using physical attacks, having more than 45000 ATK is strongly recommended. Note: Her accessory Arcadia cannot be stolen.



Witch Marjoly

Complete the "Beauty Castle" Side Area to acquire Marjoly. To defeat Marjoly, deal with the two mages first so they will not heal anybody. Then pummel her with your best attacks before she uses any of her powerful spells. Note: None of her items cannot be stolen.



Tyrant

When the "Baal Castle" Side Area is completed, Laharl will be promoted to the "Tyrant". Whenever Laharl enters the Dark Congress, his "reputation" will be boosted, meaning that almost any proposal will be approved without bribing at all.



Better hospital items

When you earn prizes at the Netherworld hospital, you can get rare versions of the prizes. When a prize becomes available, just keep selecting "Get Treated" and go back and look at the prize in "Claim Prize". The stats will have changed. Keep repeating the process until it has the desired stats or rarity. Note: You do not have to heal anyone when selecting to get treated.



Capturing monsters

To catch any monster type character in the game, just pick up a enemy and toss them in your base panel. When the enemy is in your base panel, all of your characters in the base panel will try to make the enemy submit. If you catch it, that character will be in your party after you complete your current stage. Note: You can not catch Bosses or humanoids.



Ronin with 777 HP

Create a Ronin and make her skilled. Get her to level 27 (she will have counter 2). Equip her with the following: Broad Sword (Rarity 83, SP+ 6, Atk+ 65), Power Jacket (Rarity 217, HP+ 4, ATK+ 15, DEF+ 51), (Rare) Belt of Will (Rarity 17, HP+ 9, ATK+ 47, DEF+ 3), Muscle Victory (Rarity 88, HP+ 311, RES+ 25). If this does not work, try putting those items on her when you create her. Rarity does matter.
