Beyond The Beyond Codes -

Bonus party members and items (Japanese version):
Hold Right and press Circle, Triangle, X , Square, X, Triangle, Circle, X, Circle, Square, Start when "Press Start" appears during the opening sequence.

Hint: Getting Percy back:
You will fight the Black Knight near the end of the game in the Sand Caves just before the exit, . This is really Percy. When he attacks, run away. Keep running until the curse is broken and Percy will join the team again.

Hint: The Light Orbs:
Ever wonder what those light orbs given by the god's assistant were good for? The orbs can also be used for Speed Traveling: When you've cleared Arawan's Tower and have gotten at least 6 characters, you can travel very quickly to towns and places you've visited. Put the unwanted 6th player in the town you've visited and want to visit. Then get one of your players to use his/her Light Orb. Teleport to the town instantly.

Hint: Easy level up:
Have Tont (secret character), high levels on everyone (16-18), be at Marion Castle after freeing the guards from the bridge, at least enough to buy herbs (10 each) and rest at the inn (50). For magic, have you at Fire Lv2, Sampson just attack but must hit, Annie Holy Light Lv2, Edward: Ice Lv2, and Tont Titan Lv1. You have to be in manual and fight in the order you see the character's name. After you meet those requirements, Go in to the castle and stay on the first level. Walk around the room until you fight someone, but do not get too far from the door outside. You may have to go into a room to get a battle. Make sure you can win the battle with one round of your characters. Then, fight two battles and do not get killed. Go into the town and rest for 50. The battles will give you several hundred. Then, return to the castle and repeat the process until you are at the level you wish to be at.

Hint: Access to treasure chests:
Remember all of those treasure chests that you could not access without a certain key? Well, it just so happens that the key is located in the cave of the sleeping dragon. Go get the key and you now have access to all of the treasure chests and the mighty dragon sword. But note that the key will not be there until you have reached the enclosed valley.

Hint: Treasure chest locations:
In the cave of the sleeping golden dragon. Go to the house where a treasure chest with the sword awaits you.
There are two chests in Bandore. One is in the upper floor of the inn. The other is located in the dungeon cells of the castle.
There is one in the magical village of Simone. Go in the tree and there will be a treasure chest on the bottom 2nd floor.

Hint: APS (Active Playing System):
Your characters may be able to perform special attacks by pressing special button sequences. The only reliable one is rapidly pushing X either:
Before a character is about to attack (resulting in a double attack)
Before a monster is about to attack (resulting in a guard or counterattack)
Before a character recovers from grogginess (resulting in gaining more VP).
Another suggestion is to hit X repeatedly while either holding Up or Down. Holding Up when a blue diamond appears result sin the double attack and Down when the diamond is gold results in the super attack.
Hint: Running away:
Tired of fighting those monsters every 3 steps? Then run! Running is quite easy to do in this game and you are not penalized anything for it (except that you gain no exp. points, of course).

Hint: Making More Money (Japanese version):
If you are equipped with any of the magical rings, go ahead and sell it. However, make sure that it is equipped first. Once you sell it, you will notice that you are still wearing it and you are 7,500 gps richer. Keep on repeating the process until you reach 99,999 gps. Go out and buy stuff.
