Control loading screen:
Press the Analog-stick during the loading screen that features streaks of light coming towards you to move a small twinkling star around.

Save screenshots:
Place a completely empty VMU in slot 2 of a controller that is plugged into port D. A screenshot requires 195 blocks of space. Start an online or offline game. Hold A + X then press Start on controller D to save the current screen. If done correctly, a black screen with a countdown will appear. The game will resume after the countdown, and the screenshot will be on the previously empty VMU. Go to http://pso.donut.dhs.org with the Dreamcast Planetweb browser to transfer your snapshot from your email mailbox. You also can upload your screens on Sonic Team's Official PSO Visual BBS webpage and view other screenshots.

Successfully complete the game in offline mode to unlock the hard difficulty setting.

Very hard mode:
Successfully complete the game in offline mode two times to unlock the very hard difficulty setting.

Character movements:
Hold [Alt] and press [F1] through [F12] to make your character perform various movements.
Note: This trick requires a Dreamcast keyboard.

Hint: Frying pan weapon:
Complete all off line quests under any difficulty setting. This will allow you to play any quest as many times as desired. Go to the "Secret Delivery" quest and find the fat man that is walking around. Talk to him and he will tell you about a secret club called "WEAPONS". After talking to him and receiving the emblem, complete the quest. You must now find four other WEAPONS members. They can be found in the following quests: "Claiming Stakes", "The Value of Money", "The Lost Bride", and "Gran Squall". Complete each quest after receiving your approval from the WEAPONS members, or your approvals will not be saved. After receiving all four approvals, return to the fat man in "Secret Delivery". He will tell you to see the Boss of WEAPONS to receive your membership. Walk towards the shops and find the woman in the corner. She is the fat man's wife. She will give you the Frying Pan as a token of your membership.

Hint: Easy experience:
Start a new game and go to the place where they give you the hunter job. Select the third choice (named battle training). In this job, you get a partner that is very strong. To get easy experience just hit all the monsters once and have him kill them with one slice. You still get 4 experience points. Before you finish the job, leave the forest, go back to the guide place, and cancel your job. Then, restart it and all the monsters and items will be back making it easy to get experience points, money, and items.

The Rap Rappy birds in the Forest 1 and 2 can be shot once for experience. After a short time they will wake up and try to run. Shoot them again and they will drop an item.

When in the forest level, if you are fighting against a Monest do not kill the nest. Instead, kill all the flies first. When the nest is empty use a Telepipe/Ryuker. When you return to the forest you will see that the nest is full again. This works best in hard or v. hard modes.

In "Forest Of Sorrow" mission, go to forest level 2. Move to the southeastern-most room (off the long room that is north to south, has two smaller rooms and one larger room to the east, the island in the center of the map to the west and the weather computer to the north) to find three large Hideabears. In the cubbyhole to the south-west is one small Hideabear. Every time you talk to the small Hideabear, three more large Hideabears appear in the room. Be careful, as you can get over six large Hideabears in there. Each is good for about 10 XP.

Hint: Saving money for Forces:
When using Force, collect items and then sell them. Buy Resta disk from the tool shop in Pioneer 2. You will not have to buy Mates. Also, instead of using Telepipes, use Ryuker. It will cost some TP but it is worth it -- it saves a ton.

Hint: Neutralize poison:
When poisonous plants are encountered in the caves, stand on the body of a fallen opponent and their poison cannot harm you.

Hint: Go through locked doors:
Equip a Double Saber or no weapon. Then, go to the farthest side of the door and move as close to the door as possible. Get as sharp of an angle as possible without moving when doing Triple Attack. After doing Triple Attack once, go towards the door that was just attacked. Get as sharp of an angle as possible, then repeat. After the second or third Triple Attack, you should be able to walk through the door. If not, try again.

Hint: Avoid walking near traps and enemies:
Normally, you cannot run when near a trap or enemy. To avoid this, press Start to display the main menu. You may now run again.

Hint: Entering the Ruins area:
After defeating the Boss of the Mines, you will arrive in an underground cave with a blocked door with three symbols on it. These symbols correspond to the three giant pillars found throughout the previous levels. You must go back through the Forest, Caves, and Mines to activate the pillars. Each pillar is located in the second area of each zone. Once all of the pillars are active, go through the Mines again, defeat the Boss, and then walk through the newly opened door.

Hint: Rag Rappy items:
Attack a Rag Rappy while playing the Forest Areas and it will go down. Wait until it gets back up, and attack it again before it runs off. They will end up leaving items that they have been collecting.

Hint: Avoiding Phantasy Pirates:
Phantasy Pirates are thieves. They steal your money and weapon when you die. Then run away or deny they stole it. To prevent getting caught in this position, leave your money in the bank and do not play with someone who is suspicious, acts very strangely, or exhibits stealing behavior. If you think you will die, equip a weapon that is not very valuable to you.

When you first join a team, ask everyone for their guild card. Thieves do not give away their guild card, because guild cards are a symbol of trust. If someone is constantly asks questions such as "What is your hobby?" or "Where do you live?" and there are items around, either pick up the items, then answer, or do not answer at all. If the person is acting suspicious and wants to trade with you, do not drop your money or item first -- or drop only one Meseta or a Saber +1 until you can see that their item is really the item they said it was.

If a thief keeps stealing people's items, get a lot of monsters after you. Then, run over to the thief and make them chase the pirate. Try to get at least ten monsters and make sure no one helps. Also make sure no one heals the pirate.

Hint: VMU warning:
When creating a character for the game, make sure that your VMU has been formatted (i.e. reset) at the VMU file screen for the Dreamcast. If this is not done, something can go wrong causing your character file to become corrupted, according to Sega.

Hint: Duplicating items:
You must be online to do this trick. You need a secured room with password lock and a trustworthy friend. Two people are required. Have one person stay in the room while you do the duplication. The person that stays in the room must never leave until the process is done or you lose all your items. Empty everything in your character's inventory, such as money and equipped items. Do not worry about your bank -- leave it alone. You must carry only the items you want duplicated. Do not equip anything or the duplication would not work. Carry the items you want duplicated. Quit then save. Log back in, do a search on your friend, enter the password locked room and drop all the items that you want to duplicate. After dropping the items, press the power button to turn off the Dreamcast. Since the file is already saved, it will not be affected. However, the items you dropped will still be there in the room. Repeat the process until desired number of items has been reached. If done correctly, you will now have a multiple supply of items.

Hint: Overriding illegal item possession:
Use the following trick to override that new warning that Sega posts when you are carrying duplicated, grinded, and useable items (such as Trimates, Trifluids, Star Atomizers, etc.) that are maxed out past the limit. Note: The grinded items (such as Level 999 mags, Stag Cultry +255, etc.) and useable items are not fixable. Only keep items that are legitimate and exist in the game. Keep your useable items to the limit of the maximum (10). If you get the warning, quickly quit and save the game. Go to the offline game. Deposit all weapons and armor in your bank. Just have useable items (Trimates, Trifluids, Star Atomizers, etc.) in your character's inventory. Quit and save. Log back online. Join a team or create one, pick up your items from the bank and equip them. Quit and save for the final time. Log back online and resume the game.

Hint: Hacked item warning:
Do not accept hacked items. You will get a warning on the screen. Sega representatives patrol the servers, so be cautious..
