A dusty wagon rolls along a country road carrying four heroes-- heroes on a mission to save the world. For years, deadly miasma has been creeping across the land, choking everything it touches. Only one thing can save the land now... collecting enough myrrh to fill the crystal chalice and stave off the poisonous advance. If you fail in your task, your family and friends will fall victim to the miasma, and all will be lost.

Now we'll share all the knowledge we've gained. Read these pages for information on how to battle, how to use a Moogle, where to find Hidden Items, where to locate Mog stamps, which areas open over time, how to take care of your family, and much, much more. Together, we'll meet the miasma head on and triumph!

Cheat: Tons of Gil

This trick requires at least two memory cards and the compatibility for multiplayer (at least two GBAs and at least two GameCube-to-GBA cables).
Note: Some of these steps require that you collect Myrrh in order for the next event to take place.


1. Once you reach Alfitaria, look for a Lilty-looking soldier named Knocfelna and speak to him. He will tell you a little about Alfitaria's princess.
This starts a sequence of events that you must progress through in order to complete this trick.
2. Speak to Te Odow, a peddler in Marr's Pass.
3. Bump into the disguised princess at Jegon River.
4. Encounter Knocfelna at Jegon River.
5. Speak to the princess and Knocfelna in the Fields of Fum.
6. Encounter the princess and Knocfelna in Leuda.
7. Exit Leuda BY LAND to watch a movie about the princess.
8. Save your game
9. Enter Alfitaria to watch the final movie sequence. *

*= Save before you enter Alfitaria. If you already have GBAs hooked up, then good for you, but if you don't, hook up as many as you possibly can. If you do not already have at least four characters, make as many characters as you have hooked up GBAs. Now, once you have as many characters as possible, enter Alfitaria. You will receive 100,000 gil for every character that's involved in Step 9.

Now, save the game and copy your Crystal Chronicles file onto another memory card. Now turn the game back on and import a character(s) that received the 100,000 gil from one memory card to the one that you are playing on. Now enter a level with at least two characters and drop the 100,000 gil from one character and pick it up with the other. After giving all of the gil to one memory card, delete the extra file and copy the original again. Now when you go to do the cheat again, the character has at least 200,000 gill to drop. Repeat the deleting/copying until you have all the gil that you could ever wish for.

Unlockable: Blazin' Caravans

Collect a full set of mog stamps from various Moogle Nests to unlock the multiplayer mini-game Blazin' Caravans. Return to a Moogle Nest to play the game, which can only be played on the GBA screens.

Hint: Easy Gil

Start a save file with a character that you are going to want to keep and three separate characters that you will not keep. Once all the characters are made, go back into the home town, Tipa, and with the three characters that you do not want to keep drop the 200 Gil that you start with, along with all items that can be dropped. Go into Tipa with the character that you do want to keep, and pick up all of the dropped items and Gil. You should earn 600 Gil each time you do this trick.

Hint: More Shops

Create extra characters on your memory card and more shops will appear in the hometown (Tipa). Make sure the characters you create have differing professions, so that the shops are also different.

Hint: Free Mythril

Normally Mythril will cost you 5,000 Gil, but some enemies drop it for free. Kill the giant lizards in the Demons Court and eventually they'll drop the valuable item.

Hint: Use Prohibited Names

Many names like "Andy", "Daniel", and "Mary", are the names of existing characters in the Crystal Chronicles universe. Unfortunately, when creating a new character these names are prohibited for players.

However, you can often get around this by changing the case of the letters in your name. For example, instead of "Nina" you could use "NINA" and the game won't keep you from using your rightfully given name!

Alternatively, you can simply put a space at the end of your name to get by the game's filter--for example, use Nina_ instead of just Nina.

Hint: More Hometown Trades

The game allows you to create eight (8) character files per save slot on your memory card. Even if you're only using one character--or any number of characters fewer than eight--it's a good idea to create character files to fill up the eight slots. The more families and variety in trades that exist on your save file will reflect the variety in trades that are practiced in your hometown!

Hint: More Easy Gil

Enemies in the Lynari Desert (cycle three) drop 1,200 Gil. In the same area, the giant birds drop an item called Orichicalcum, which can be sold for thousands of Gil.

Hint: Magicite Combinations
