To utilize partner abilities in Children of Mana, players must equip Spirits to their character. Equipping Spirits allows players to utilize various different abilities that will give them an advantage in battle.
These partner abilities provide a variety of different abilities such as healing, increasing stats, weakening enemies, and a variety of other effects.

6. Repeat as necessary. Buffing your characters with spells can be effective, but it is important to use the appropriate spells for the appropriate situation. Cast the right spell at the right time to ensure the most effective damage output from your characters.
48. Flank enemy weak points to maximize damage output.
Flanking enemy weak points is one of the primary strategies used in Children of Mana. This strategy involves exploiting the enemy’s weak points in order to maximize your damage output. You should focus on targeting the vulnerability of your opponent and use combo attacks to build up your attack power. For example, if the enemy has a weak left side, you should have one of your characters attack from that direction while the other two character attack from the right. This will cause double the amount of damage and allows you to maximize your attack output. Additionally, using combo attacks with your main character will add even more damage to your total output. Mastering this strategy will allow you to become more successful in combat and defeat even the toughest bosses.
49. Keep a low profile while going through dungeons.
1. Move slowly and cautiously, avoiding loud noises and intense battles.
2. Sneak past monsters and traps whenever possible, rather than engaging in combat.
3. Reduce the amount of light in the room, either by using items like the Night Mask or by turning off the 3D features in the Dungeon.
4. Be aware of your surroundings – pay close attention to the surrounding environment and look out for signs of health points, traps, and traps which indicate the presence of monsters.
5. If possible, use light sources like candles to light up your path, but do not draw too much attention with bright, flashy lighting.
6. Keep a low profile by avoiding loud noises like at hard surfaces – this will prevent enemies from being alerted to your presence.
7. Equip yourself with stealthy items, like the Wind Wand or Silence Gauntlets, which can help you to sneak past enemies undetected.
8. Use magic and items which distract the enemies or reduce aggression – this will give you more time to sneak past undetected.
9. Take your time – travelling quickly through dungeons can attract a lot of attention and leave you vulnerable to surprise attacks.
50. Search for hidden rooms with extra items and rewards.
Searching for hidden rooms with extra items and rewards is fairly straightforward. All you have to do is look for hidden doors or walls in the various dungeon rooms you explore. Some doors or walls may appear in a certain area, such as below a staircase or behind a secret passage. They also may appear in odd places, such as high up on a wall next to an unstable looking bookcase. Be sure to check everywhere for these secret places, and don’t forget to keep an eye out for suspicious looking cracks in the walls.
Once you have found a hidden door or wall, use your weapons to break it open. Depending on the room, you may find special items, as well as numerous rewards. These rewards may range from special weapons and armor to unique enhancements for your character. In addition, these secret passages often take you to areas with treasure chests or harder enemies with better rewards. Make sure to take advantage of these hidden areas- they are great for boosting up your character’s stats and finding unique items.
51. Use magic to protect Mana from powerful enemy attacks.
1. Learn the different types of magic: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Light. You can find and equip spells and special weapons to use in battle.
2. Cast defensive spells. Defensive spells can be used to block an enemy’s attack and reduce the amount of damage you receive.
3. Cast offensive spells. Offensive spells like Fireball and Bolt can be used to inflict damage on enemies.
4. Use magical creatures. You can summon magical creatures to help you in battle.
5. Cast Barrier spells. Barrier spells such as Shine and Aero can protect you from enemy attacks.
6. Activate Mana Stones. Mana Stones can be activated to give you special abilities in battle.
52. Prioritize weaker enemies first to gain better rewards.
Prioritizing weaker enemies first to gain better rewards in Children of Mana is a good strategy. Weak enemies are easier to defeat, and the rewards for defeating them can be beneficial. Defeating weak enemies is faster, too, meaning you can progress further in the game with fewer resources. To prioritize weaker enemies, you need to focus on small groups of enemies that are easy to take out, rather than trying to take on large hordes of strong enemies. It’s also helpful to look for any weak points that each enemy may have, and exploit them to defeat them quickly. Lastly, you should always upgrade your weapons and armor to help you take down enemies more easily.
53. Find secret key items to unlock powerful weapons.
Secret key items can be found in specific locations throughout the game. You must play through specific levels to acquire them. To start the search, look for suspicious items on the ground or in structures in the level. When you come across these items, press the attack button to perform a dash attack to break them open. Some objects may contain a key item and some could even offer bonus items such as additional magical power. If all else fails, you can try using an Earth Seal to search the area for hidden items. Once you have the secret key, simply open the weapon upgrade menu and use the key to unlock powerful weapons.
54. Watch for quick-time events to increase attack damage.
Quick-time events (or QTEs) are action sequences that require the player to press a certain button in a specific order and/or within a certain time limit. In Children of Mana, QTEs can be used during an attack to increase the damage you cause. To watch for QTEs during an attack, pay close attention to the on-screen prompts. When you see directions like “A+B+Y” or “Press Left then Right”, quickly enter the button commands shown on screen before the timer runs out. If done correctly, you will inflict increased damage in the attack.
55. Cast spells to cure positive status effects on enemies.
1. Go into the Spellcasting menu, which can be accessed through the Main Menu.
2. Select the target enemy you wish to cure and cast the appropriate spell at them.
3. Use the appropriate element icon for the spell you wish to cast.
4. Move the spell cursor until it hovers over the target enemy and Single cast the spell.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 until the enemy is cured.
56. Play through Expert Trial to unlock new allies.
1. Open the Master Fray menu, which can be found in the Town Centre.
2. Create a battle party with your strongest characters. Make sure you have at least one character who can deal with a wide variety of enemies.
3. Select Expert Trial from the Master Fray menu.
4. Choose your desired Expert Trial. This trial will challenge you with three stages and one boss battle against a powerful enemy.
5. Face off against enemies in the three stages of the Expert Trial. Make sure you use powerful techniques and abilities to take out your foes as quickly as possible.
6. When you reach the end of the third stage, battle the boss. Make sure you have a full health bar and have a strategy lined up for the fight. You may want to use a cooperative move with one of your characters to get an edge against the boss.
7. If you defeat the boss, you will be rewarded with a new ally. This ally will join your team and become a valuable asset in future battles.
8. Repeat the process with other Expert Trials to unlock new and powerful allies.
57. Complete dungeons with all party members at full health
1. Start by gathering the necessary ingredients for creating mana potions. This includes items like grass, logs, and fruit. You’ll need these in order to craft healing items during the dungeons.
2. With the ingredients in hand, you can begin to battle your way through the dungeons. Make sure to keep your party members’ health and mana bars full as much as possible.
3. Prioritize defeating enemies that carry health-restoring drops. These items will help keep your party members’ health up, especially in the later dungeons.
4. As you progress through the dungeons, keep an eye out for healing and mana restoring items. This includes things like Leek Pie and Mana Grass.
5. Make sure to craft healing items as needed and leverage your mana attacks when fighting tougher enemies.
6. Before each boss fight, use any remaining mana potion ingredients to craft more health-restoring items. This will ensure your party is at full health when entering the boss room.
7. With the boss defeated, head towards the exit. This will signify the completion of the dungeon with all party members at full health.
58. Look around for secret passages to access hidden areas.
To look around for secret passages to access hidden areas in Children of Mana, first make sure you have the map ability. Then, search for indented walls, as many of them have secret passages that can be opened with the map ability. The map will show a doorway when you move the cursor over an indented wall section. You can also search for deeper shadows in dungeons, as those are indications of secret passages. Additionally, some blocks or walls may move back when you attack them. Lastly, some booby traps such as spiked walls may move aside when you destroy them, revealing secret passages.
59. Always engage in battle with a full mana gauge.
Always engage in battle with a full mana gauge by using the following steps:
1. Before entering a battle, open the world map and select to use a Mana fountain from the World Map Items menu.
2. When you approach a Mana fountain, rapidly press the “A” button as many times as possible to quickly fill up your mana gauge.
3. When your mana gauge is full, proceed to enter into battle.
60. Stock up on items before start a challenging dungeon.
1. Talk to any NPCs (non-player characters) you come across and collect any items they offer.
2. Complete any subquests you come across for possible rewards.
3. Stock up on healing items such as potions, medicine, and food from shops.
4. Check for any special seasonal items at the shop as you won’t be able to purchase them after you enter the dungeon.
5. Purchase any weapons or armor you may need from the armory.
6. Make sure you have enough Gems and Elements to use to purchase items in the dungeon, if needed.
7. Don’t forget to stock up on extra Mana and Mana Beads.
8. If needed, find an animal or monster to use in battle as a companion.
9. Make sure your character is well equipped with enough Herbs, Honey, Grass, and Rocks.
10. Don’t forget to use the Blacksmith to upgrade any weapons and armor.
61. Try to complete objectives before the timer expires.
1. Locate the objectives: Before the timercounts down, look around the game environment to find objectives. Some objectives may be marked with green exclamation points or other symbols, while others can be found in hidden areas. Try to locate as many objectives as possible.
2. Analyze requirements: Before attempting to complete an objective, take the time to read the requirements for each one. Sometimes a key item or power-up is necessary to complete the task and must be located for use.
3. Start early: It’s best to start completing objectives as soon as possible. If the timer runs out, progress can be lost, so be sure to take the time to read through the objectives before tackling them.
4. Strategize: Don’t rush to complete the objectives. Think out a strategy for accomplishing each one quickly and efficiently. Knowing exactly what needs to be done and in what order can save valuable time.
5. Utilize power-ups: If power-ups are available, it can be useful to use them to help complete an objective faster. Make sure to read the power-up description to determine what effects it has and how it can be used.
6. Re-visit objectives: Occasionally, objectives may require multiple attempts or the collection of certain items. Re-visit an objective if necessary and make sure to check for any changes or updates before proceeding.
62. Use “Overclock” mode to slow down enemy attacks.
Overclock mode is a feature in Children of Mana that allows you to slow down enemy attacks, while allowing yourself to play at higher speeds. To use this feature, press the square button to access your menu and then select “Options.” You will find the “Overclock” setting in the list. Toggle this option to “On” to start the effect. This will slow down enemy attacks while allowing you to continue playing at your own speed. This gives you a strategic advantage, as it allows you to anticipate your enemies’ movements and prepare your own actions accordingly.
63. Control camera angles to avoid enemy attacks.
To control the camera angles in Children of Mana, use the L and R shoulder buttons to rotate the camera around your character. This will allow you to look around the environment and avoid enemy attacks from unexpected directions or to get a better view of the enemies. Additionally, you can use the PlayStation Vita’s rear touchpad and two fingers to zoom in and out of the game so you can better inspect your surroundings or zero in on your targets.
64. Try to find secret doors to gain access to new areas.
Secret doors in Children of Mana are indicated by glowing symbols near them. To open a secret door, you must interact with the glowing symbol, which will prompt you to select a wand. Select the corresponding wand to the secret door symbol, and the door will unlock. It may also require you to pay a fee in Mana Seeds, the game’s currency, to open the door. Once open, you can explore the area and gain access to new areas, items, and quests.
65. Level up characters’ stats with their Action Chips.
Action Chips are items that can be used to level up your character’s stats in Children of Mana. As you level up your character, their stats will improve for better progression in the game. To level up a character’s stats with Action Chips, you will need to use the chips to equip your character with weapons. Different weapons are associated with different stats, and the different stats can use Action Chips to gain stat points.
To level up your character’s stats with Action Chips, you can equip the character with the specific weapon that corresponds to the stat you want to raise. Each Action Chip is associated with a certain stat, such as attack, defense, speed, and magic. You can equip up to three different Action Chips per character, which will give your character a boost in that stat. As you equip different Action Chips, the character’s stats will increase, and they will gain more points from the associated stat.
66. Explore every nook and cranny for hidden items and treasures.
Exploring for hidden items and treasures is relatively easy and can be done by simply searching each level with all the characters. There are many unique areas located throughout the game that contain valuable items and/or treasures that cannot be reached in other ways.
When exploring, it is important to remember that some areas need to be destroyed in order to gain access to the hidden items and treasures. Brick walls, cracked walls, and other obstacles can be destroyed with the various characters’ weapons, while extra steps are needed to gain access to some hidden items and treasures.
Some items may be revealed by talking to non-player characters (NPCs), or by completing specific tasks. Other items and treasures can only be discovered by examining parts of the environment or performing specific actions.
Chests and items contained inside them can be located by pressing against walls and objects with characters in order to find the “secret” location.
Finally, special items and other treasures are sometimes hidden in out-of-the-way places. Be sure to search high and low on each floor, destroy objects to uncover hidden doors, run up and down stairs, and so on. You never know what you might find in the corners of each level!
67. Read enemy weaknesses carefully to plan for battle.
Reading enemy weaknesses carefully to plan for battle is an important strategy in Children of Mana. To do this, first, pay attention to the enemies you encounter in each dungeon. Some enemies may have a preference for one type of attack, while others may be weak against it. Similarly, take note of the elemental resistances of the enemies; some may be susceptible to a certain type of element, making them more easily defeated. Additionally, observe how enemies interact with each other; if they are weak to each other’s attacks, it may give you an edge.
Finally, consider the environment of the dungeon. Some enemies may be more powerful in certain areas, while others may be more useful in specific situations; use this to your advantage when deciding how to approach each battle. By carefully observing enemy weaknesses, planning your attacks and taking advantage of the environment, you will be more likely to succeed in battle against your enemy.
68. Stock up on healing and mana potions before a boss fight.
In order to stock up on healing and mana potions before a boss fight in Children of Mana, you should make sure to purchase enough HP Potions and MP Potions from the item shop before you enter the boss fight. You can also discover herbs during the course of the game, which can be used to craft healing or mana potions. Additionally, you can find chests scattered throughout dungeons which contain either Healing or Mana Potions, which can also help restock your supply. Finally, you can also use multi-hit magic to regenerate a small amount of mana and health.
69. Set an alternate weapon configuration before a boss fight.
1. Open the in-game menu and select “Configure Weapons”.
2. Select the weapon you want to equip from the list on the left side of the screen.
3. Select the alternate weapon configuration you want to use from the list on the right side of the screen.
4. Press the “Set” button to apply the alternate weapon configuration.
5. Exit the menu and start the boss fight.
70. Equip the best weapons and armor to survive difficult battles.
1. Collect Mana Fragments: Mana fragments are the currency in Children of Mana and can be found scattered throughout the world. Collecting these fragments allows you to change and upgrade your weapons and armor. You can find them by completing missions, defeating enemies, or using special skills.
2. Visit the Blacksmith: The Blacksmith is the NPC in Children of Mana that allows you to equip weapons and armor. You can upgrade your equipment to make it even stronger by combining it with other items.
3. Pick the Best Equipment: When equipping new gear, make sure to pick the best weapons and armor for your character. Consider your playstyle and your stats when choosing the best item for you. Also, make sure to upgrade your gear when possible.
4. Change the Elements of the Weapon: The Elements of the weapon can provide special bonuses and effects. Make sure to equip weapons with an element that is useful for your found. You can change the element of weapons by using talismans, which can be purchased from healers or found in the world.
71. Use group attacks to sweep away multiple enemies.
Group attacks are one of the most useful tactics available in Children of Mana. To use a group attack, you must be playing as a team of at least two characters.
First, you must get the group attack gauge filled up to two bars. This can be done by performing basic attacks on enemies, and it will fill up faster if all characters attack the same enemy.
When the group attack gauge is ready, you can perform the group attack by pressing the circle/B button on your controller. All team members will join in the attack. The team members that perform the group attack will perform a series of powerful strikes, hitting multiple targets with a flurry of attacks. If executed correctly, you can clear an entire group of enemies in one fell swoop.
72. Master the warping spell to move around quickly.
To Master the warping spell in Children of Mana, you must find the enemies called Pseudodragons. These creatures can be found in the dungeons and fight battles with your character. Once defeated, they will drop stones that you can use to actually learn the warp spell. Equipping the warp stone will automatically add it to your list of spells and will allow you to warp to any previously explored map location. Once you are familiar with how to use the warp spell, you can use it to move quickly around the world and save time in your adventures.
73. Finish dungeons with no damage taken to gain bonus rewards.
To finish dungeons with no damage taken in Children of Mana and gain bonus rewards, you’ll need to carefully play through each dungeon, avoiding any enemies or obstacles that can cause you damage. You’ll also want to make sure to clear out all the enemies and break all the chests to get the most rewards. When you reach the end of the dungeon, make sure you’ve taken no damage, then pass the dungeon’s Boss to gain bonus rewards.
74. Exploit enemy weaknesses to achieve a quick victory.
Exploiting enemy weaknesses is a key strategy in Children of Mana. To do this, you will need to use weapons and magic that are effective against a certain enemy’s weakness.
For example, giant enemies can be harmed by high-damage physical weapons. Flying enemies can be taken down faster with Wind Blades or Wind Arcs. Enemies that are weak to fire magic can be easily defeated with Firewall or Blast.
Additionally, by using the Sword Lore spells, you can increase the strength of your weapons, making them even more effective against enemies.
Finally, pay attention to the enemies’ place and behavior–if they’re bunched up, consider using a powerful area-of-effect attack such as Cyclone. If an enemy is in a defensive position or trying to flee, you can use Seeking Disks to track them down.
By knowing and exploiting your enemies’ weaknesses, you can defeat them quickly and efficiently.
75. Learn healing skills to keep your party alive in battle.
Learning healing skills in Children of Mana is essential for keeping your party alive. To learn healing skills, all you need to do is find the orange Mana spirits (also known as White Priests) found throughout the game. Talk to them, and they will offer to teach you healing skills. Each skill has its own cost, with the most expensive being “Life Blessing” which costs 250 Mana Seeds. Once you have purchased a skill, you will be able to use it instantly and can equip it to your party members. You can also use Mana Seeds to upgrade existing healing skills, so the more Mana Seeds you collect, the stronger your healing abilities will be.
76. Use spellcast elements to increase damage dealt.
Spellcast elements are special items in Children of Mana that allow the player to cast more powerful spells. When the player uses the spellcast element, the strength of the spell will increase depending on the element used. In order to increase the damage dealt, the player should use the element that corresponds to the spell they are using. For example, if a spell calls for an Air element, then the player should use the Air spellcast element to increase the damage. It is also important to remember that spellcast elements can only be used once so players must choose when and how to utilize them to maximize their damage output.
77. Target the head of enemies to increase damage output.
Targeting the head of enemies in Children of Mana is a useful strategy to increase your damage output. To do it, you must press and hold the “Square” button when attacking the enemy. Doing this will cause your attacks to become focused on the head of the enemy, making them more powerful than when you attack other body parts. However, it’s important to note that this technique will not always work due to the enemy’s size or positioning, so be prepared to adjust your attack accordingly.
78. Play co-op with friends to gain better rewards.
Co-Op play in Children of Mana allows up to four players to join together via wireless connection. To play together:
1. All players must be within wireless network range.
2. Press the start button on all controllers.
3. On the main title screen, choose “Multiplayer Mode”.
4. Choose the number of players (up to 4) and pick your desired multiplayer mode.
5. The screen will display the name and level of each player.
6. Take turns equipping your items and selecting abilities for your character.
7. When everyone is ready, select “Start Game”.
8. Work together as you battle, explore, and defeat foes.
9. As you progress, gain rewards and build your strength.
10. When the game ends, the rewards can be shared for a maximum bonus.
79. Utilize combined attacks to take down tough bosses.
Utilizing combined attacks is a great way to take down tough bosses in the game Children of Mana. To use combined attacks, you first need to equip two mana spirits. Then, when facing off against a boss, press any of the face buttons while in mid-air. This will cause both mana spirits to join forces and launch a powerful attack that deals significant damage. For an added bonus, some combos will also restore HP to your team. Additionally, when paired with powerful spells, combined attacks will provide massive damage to high level bosses and can quickly deplete their health.
80. Equip all characters with elemental spells for more damage.
In order to equip all characters with elemental spells for more damage in Children of Mana, you’ll need to find certain items called Weapon Souls. These item types imbue your weapons with elemental properties and can be found in shops, treasure treasures, or rewarded as chest loot from defeating certain types of enemies.
Once you have obtained a Weapon Soul, you can equip it to a character’s weapon. Open up the Subscreen, select the Items tab and then the Weapon Souls tab. Select the weapon that you’d like to equip the Weapon Soul to. Select the Weapon Soul from the list and press the “Equip” command to attach it to your character’s weapon.
Once the Weapon Soul has been equipped to a character, you can hit enemies with that weapon in order to dish out some extra elemental-infused damage.
81. Spend your EXP wisely to level up stats quickly.
1. Choose a stat that you want to level up quickly. Determine which stat will be most beneficial for your game play.
2. Divide the EXP you have available into smaller chunks and invest them in the stat you want to level up. Try to distribute the EXP evenly, by leveling your stat up several times using small amounts of EXP, rather than just investing one big chunk of EXP into the stat.
3. Focus on one specific stat at a time. Doing this will allow you to level up the stat more quickly and efficiently, as you will be investing all of your available EXP into one specific stat, rather than spreading it out among multiple stats or trying to reach the maximum level of multiple stats simultaneously.
4.When your stat has reached its maximum level, move on to another stat.
5. Prioritize which stats you want to level up and choose to invest your EXP wisely in those stats. Investing in stats that will have the most positive impact on your game play is the best way to spend your EXP wisely and level up stats quickly.
82. Utilize the environment to gain the upper hand.
Using the environment to gain the upper hand in Children of Mana means taking advantage of specific features of the game’s environment. This can include using the terrain to your advantage, such as using the high ground to gain a better view of the battlefield, or using small paths that are difficult for enemies to travel on. You can also use specific objects in the game to make things go your way. For instance, you can use an object to block an enemy’s line of sight, making it difficult for them to attack you. Additionally, taking out an enemy by leading it into an ambush or keeping it from leaving an area can be incredibly effective. Taking advantage of the specific features in each map can make a huge difference in how you fight.
83. Activate equipment sets for improved stats.
Activating equipment sets for improved stats in Children of Mana is fairly simple. All you need to do is equip four pieces of equipment from the same set. This will activate a special effect or a bonus attribute like increased power or defense. To make sure that the effect is activated, check the information page of each item to find out which set of equipment it is a part of. Once all four pieces are equipped, you’ll be able to enjoy the improved stats or bonus attributes.
84. Take advantage of ally’s special abilities during battles.
1. Pay attention to which allies have which special abilities. The special abilities that your allies have depend on the class they have learned. Make sure to equip the appropriate spells and abilities to their classes so that you can make the most of their abilities.
2. Use special abilities in conjunction with each other for maximum effect. For instance, a character with an ability to heal can be used to support another ally who has a powerful attack ability.
3. Use special abilities strategically. If you notice that your party is outnumbered or out-matched in a battle, using a special ability to temporarily incapacitate an enemy could give your party time to rest and recuperate before engaging in another battle.
4. Make sure to utilize powerful abilities when they become available. Some abilities become available after dealing a certain amount of damage to an enemy or when an enemy attacks your character or allies. These powerful abilities have the potential to turn a battle in your favor, so make sure to make full use of them when available.
85. Use grenades to take down enemies quickly.
Grenades are quite effective at taking down enemies quickly in Children of Mana. To use them in battle, equip the grenade as your weapon and press the attack button to throw the grenade at an enemy. Aim for a group of enemies to maximize damage, as grenades can hit multiple targets. After the grenade detonates, it will damage anything within the explosion radius, which can be enough to take out enemies in one hit.
86. Undertake special Story Chapter missions for extra EXP.
Special Story Chapter missions are unlocked with each new chapter in the story. To undertake them, you’ll need to complete at least one mission in the chapter before they become available. Once the mission is unlocked, you can press the ‘Special Story Chapter’ button on the main menu to select it. After selecting the mission, you’ll be taken to the chapter’s mission map, where you’ll have to complete a set of goals and challenges before the mission is completed.
When you successfully complete the mission, you’ll receive a reward of extra EXP points. These points can be used to level up weapons, purchase items from the store, and power up your characters.
87. Focus on completing objectives to maximize rewards.
Focus on completing objectives in the game will help you maximize rewards. Make sure to always complete the main story objectives first, as they will offer the best rewards. Additionally, Follow any side-quest objectives that become available as they will often reward you with items that can assist you in future missions. You should also make sure to make use of the Mana Forges scattered throughout the game, as completing these will allow you to upgrade your weapons and armor, enhancing your ability to complete objectives. Finally, make sure to make use of the multiplayer aspects of the game, as working together co-op or competatively will offer greater rewards than going it alone.
88. Exploit enemy weaknesses with targeted Spellcraft.
In Children of Mana, you can exploit enemy weaknesses with targeted Spellcraft by using magic spells to take advantage of enemies with specific weaknesses. For example, if your enemy is weak to the fire element, you can use the spell Flame Arrow to deal more damage. Additionally, you can cast spells such as Acceleblast or Shockwave to create wide-reaching radius of elemental damage. Finally, you can use spells such as Freeze to slow down your enemy, giving you more time to exploit its weakness.
89. Make use of special spells to surprise your opponents.
Special spells are powerful spells that can be used to surprise enemies in the game. Here’s how to make use of them:
1. Time your special spell so it catches your opponents off guard. Look for moments when your opponents are wide open or distracted.
2. Charge up your special spell and make sure your range and aim is accurate. You can hold down the attack button to charge up power and increase the intensity of your special spell.
3. Aim for the biggest group of enemies possible to maximize the damage. If you hit multiple enemies with a single special spell, it can quickly turn the tide of battle in your favor.
4. Take advantage of enemy weaknesses. Different enemies may be vulnerable to different types of special spells. Do research on enemy types to find out which type of spell will be most effective.
5. Use combinations of spells for even more devastating results. Use special spells in tandem with regular magic or physical attacks for powerful combo attacks.
90. Use magical weapons to increase damage output.
Using magical weapons to increase damage output in Children of Mana is done by using a combination of elemental stones and weapon skills. Elemental stones that are equipped to your weapon will give it magical properties that do extra damage to certain enemy types. For example, a Fire Stone will enhance the weapon to do extra Fire damage. Weapon skills are learned as you level up your weapons and can be used to perform powerful magical attacks. To use them, press the appropriate button combination when your weapon glows. This will cause your weapon to do more damage than it normally would.
91. Look for shortcuts to gain access to new areas.
One of the easiest ways to find shortcuts in Children of Mana is to look for spiral glyphs on the walls. These glyphs are often tricky to find as they can be tucked away behind rocks or other objects in the environment. Once you come across a spiral glyph, you can activate it by attacking it with your weapon. This will cause an alternative pathway to appear which leads to a new area. Additionally, interacting with certain objects or NPCs in the environment can open up new shortcuts.
92. Trade items to find rare and powerful treasures.
In Children of Mana, trading items is a key way to find rare and powerful treasures. To trade items, you must visit Gertrude in the town of Domina. She’ll offer to trade weapons and cards in exchange for other items. Trading weapons will allow you to upgrade your weapons, while trading cards will allow you to gain new cards that can be used in battle.
To initiate a trade, you’ll need to bring Gertrude two items that she’ll take a liking to. She’ll offer a trade in exchange for those two items, typically offering a rare or powerful weapon or card. Alternatively, you can also offer Gertrude a set amount of money to purchase items from her, although the items that she offers in exchange for money will be of lower quality than what you can get through a trade.
93. Unite powerful spells to wipe out huge groups of enemies.
Uniting powerful spells is easy once you have gathered a wide variety of spellstones. All you need to do is open your spellboard (hold ‘Up’ on the Control Pad) and press triangle and select the ‘Unite’ option from the Spell Menu. Place at least two spellstones of the same color into each of the eight Union Tile slots, and press the R Trigger to cast the spell. The stronger the items used to unite the spells, the more powerful the result will be and the greater the area of effect when wiping out enemies.
94. Collect every item of a kind to increase stats.
Collecting every item of a kind to increase stats in Children of Mana involves combining and collecting specific items to create new and more powerful equipment. You can combine two pieces of equipment to upgrade its stats, or combine three to create a higher-level equipment. You may also find special ingredients that can be used to boost existing items. Finally, by collecting all four of a certain set of items, you will be able to unlock powerful new abilities and stats for your character.
95. Reduce enemy HP gradually with long-range spells.
1. Equip your character with a staff that has long-range abilities.
2. Choose a spell that is best suited for taking out enemies from a distance. Some popular spells to use for this are: Air Blast, Fire Bolt, and Lightning Bolt.
3. Choose your target and cast the spell.
4. Repeat this process until the enemy’s HP reaches zero. This is a gradual process as each cast of the spell will only reduce the enemy’s HP by a certain amount. The amount of damage inflicted is typically determined by your character’s stats, such as Magic Attack and Magic Power.
96. Set traps to surprise enemies and avoid enemy attacks.
Setting traps to surprise enemies and avoid enemy attacks is a key strategy in Children of Mana. To set traps, you’ll first need to find a Magic Ring and equip it. Once equipped, select the trap you want to use from your inventory and then select the area you want to place it on the map. All traps are effective when placed in strategic locations. For example, place spike traps near enemy spawning points to damage them as soon as they spawn. In addition, placing landmines around corners or enemy paths can help you take down large numbers of enemies before they even reach you. Lastly, powder trap coats enemies in paralyzing powder and immobilizes them temporarily – great for buying you time to launch a counter attack.
97. Use items sections to craft powerful spells and new items.
Using Items section is a great way to craft powerful spells and new items in Children of Mana. First, you must obtain an item, which can be done by picking up dropped items from monsters, finding them in treasure chests, or trading in rare items for them. Next, you must select the Item section on the Main Menu. Here, you will be taken to a list of all the Items you have collected.
Once you have identified the items you wish to use, select the “Synthesize” option. This will bring up a screen with two Item Slots. Place the items you wish to use in the Slots and then select the “Synthesize” button. Depending on the items used, the Item section will craft powerful spells and new items. Once the synthesis is complete, you will be rewarded with the new item or spell.
98. Analyze enemy attacks and patterns to defeat them quickly.
To effectively analyze enemy attacks and patterns in Children of Mana, you should pay close attention to their movements and attacks, as well as how they are set up and executed. Look for patterns in their attack patterns, such as if they always move in a certain direction, use a particular attack, or follow a specific pattern of attack. You’ll also want to pay close attention to the environment, such as walls, pillars, and other obstacles, that an enemy might use for cover, making them harder to hit. Finally, take the time to analyze the enemy’s health bar, weaknesses, and special abilities. By doing this, you can get an idea of which attacks are likely to hit the enemy and the best way to take them down quickly.
99. Strategically use unique weapons to exploit enemy weaknesses.
1. Determine the type of enemy you are facing. Different enemies have different weaknesses. Pay attention to the elemental type of the enemies you are fighting, as well as their size and how many you are up against.
2. Strategically use your unique weapons to exploit the weaknesses of the enemies you are facing. Switch between weapons quickly to benefit from their different attack ranges, elemental affinities, or abilities.
For example, if you are up against a group of small enemies, try using a melee weapon to hit multiple enemies at once. If you are up against an enemy that has elemental weaknesses, use your best elemental weapon to exploit its vulnerability.
3. Use spells and items to deal extra damage. Cast powerful offensive spells that your character excels in, and use items that exploit the weaknesses of your foes, such as the Petrified Herb enemy weakness item.
4. Take advantage of terrain and level design. Different areas of the map will have unique obstacles or architecture that can help you in battle. Use walls, pillars, or other objects to break line of sight and surprise your enemies. Try to fight from elevated areas to enjoy the range and sight advantage over your foes.
5. Master the art of evasive maneuvers. Knowing when and how to dodge or block attacks is key to surviving battles. If you can, try to attack just as your enemies have attacked, so they can’t dodge or block in return.
100. Before visiting a dungeon, upgrade weapons and armor to the maximum level.
To upgrade weapons and armor in Children of Mana to the maximum level before visiting a dungeon, the player must first have enough Mana Seeds to do so. Mana Seeds are earned by defeating enemies, completing quests, and by trading with the game’s shopkeeper. Once the player has enough Mana Seeds, they should then select the Weapon & Armor option from the game’s main menu. From there, they can select the armor and weapons they wish to upgrade. Select the level of upgrade and press confirm. The player will then be prompted to confirm the Mana Seeds required for the upgrade. Confirm again to upgrade the items to the maximum level.
