you have to use the warning while hunting.
Forge Metal King Shield:
------------------------
You need a Ruinous Shield, Orihalum, and Saint's Ash as your weapon. Buy
Saint's Ash from Dragovian Village after you complete the game once. You
can get Orihalum by collecting medals and trade it until the North Island
of Peregin princess quay. The Ruinous Shield can be found at the only
floating part of the Island where Doulmagus get killed (in a mirror
puzzle).
Forge Liquid Metal Sword:
-------------------------
Get rusty sword from Trodain. You can get mud crown by fighting Metal
Slimes or King Slimes. Afterwards the crown will be in the hut uphill. The
last addition, Orihalcum is rather difficult to get without cheat. The
easiest way to obtain the power is by getting 83 medals and trade it with
an item for Minnie. Discard the three material to the chemical pot to
obtain the rare Liquid Metal Sword.
Fighting Metal Slimes:
----------------------
The best way to kill Metal Slimes is by using an attack which causing a
fatal damage. Lightning ability can attack the enemy with a great power.
The other methods is by using Falcon Blades. With this weapon you can
attack him twice, which theoritically will doublefold the explosion.

Forge Thieves Key
-----------------
Put the rusty sword and iron nail (in Paraguay Quey) to make a Thieves'
Key. This item will help you to open a locked chest.
Level Up The Dingaling Method
-----------------------------
After you succeed to beat Jargon in Maella Region with a few attacks and
Dingaling only caused 1 to 2 HP damage to you, you would get as many XP as
you wanted.
What you should done is just go around (or Whistle) until you run and
found Dingaling. Don't kill Dingaling, you have to kill all the monsters
who help Dingaling and left one Dingaling in the battle. You must have a
Jessica, Hero, and Angelo defences (if valid) and a help from Yangus
Psyche.
When Dingaling call for a help, attack with Yangus for a fast kill. Do
this repeatedly, Dingaling will also keep calling Jargon for help, you can
kill them with one attack. If Dingaling call for help before Yangus have
sufficient time to attack, just attack him with your least powerful attack.
Forge Timbral of Tension
------------------------
For this item, you'll need Sun Crown, Magic Beast Hide, and Tough Guy
Tattoo. The two first item is two of the most hard item to be found.
Get Sun Crown by finding Skull Helmet in the second area Heavenly Dias,
close to Dragon Skull. Combine with Urn of Saints' Ashes to create it. You
can enter Heavenly Dias from extra underground passage and Dragovian
Sanctuary. Go to Felix Chateau and use Godbird Stone to land to the item.
Alternate Ending
----------------
After beating Rhapthorne, a hidden underground room will be opened and the
town will be unlocked. Complete the mission in the secret town to get
Argon Ring. Beat Rhapthorne in the other time while completing this item
to get a different ending.
Faster Alchemy Pot
------------------
What you should have to do this is just an ability to protect yourself
from a weak enemy (your character will have this ability to use outside
the battle). Put in the ingredients to the chemical pot you'll use, and do
the move. This gonna work better in the area of weak enemies compare to
your level. With this way there will be no monster attack you.
After the move done, walk around until you hear "ting" sound or the move
weaken out. If the move weaken out before the whole items complete, just
do it again from the start and you can continue to walk around. You have
to walk around or this won't work out. The total amount of time to create
the item in the alchemy pot depends on the steps to create it, not on the
amount of time to create it. Walk around the map needed less time than
walk around the town or underground.
More Yggsdrasil Leaves
----------------------
During bazaar in Argonia, there is a shop which sell Yggdrasil Leaves, but
you can only buy one until you have no more leaves. This game cannot
detect the alchemy pot you have. So you can trick it and buy more than one
leave. Buy a leave and combine it in your alchemy pot with a magical water
or a few red and blue molds. Then you can buy another leave and cancel the
process of the alchemy pot to get your first leave.
