Avoid losing life:
Pause game play before the last part of your health disappears. Use a healing 
item, and you will still have that life. 

Stage select:
Defeat the stage 9 Boss to get the Map Selector. This allows you replay any 
previously completed stage.

Easy experience:
Find a location where enemies spawn in groups of two or three. Put a Legion on 
active attack mode and let them kill those same enemies for hours. This works if 
your Legion is strong enough, but check up every ten to fifteen minutes to make 
sure your health is still the same. If it has changed, check more frequently to 
make sure you do not die.

Let your Legions take the kills and do most of your dirty work. 
You will get double experience. Also, press Force Attack if you are in a tight spot.

For more challenging play, but better experience, when a generator keeps making 
monsters reappear, just stay there and kill those monsters over and over again, 
but don't attack the generator. 

Go to level 6 and fight all the way to the second stage. Use the Malice and keep 
using the Force Attack (Triangle). Press it repeatedly after there are no threats 
around, except for the heads with the spikes that cannot die with conventional 
attacks. Do this for a while to gain experience.

Start level 7 and go forward. Kill the opponents, then go to the generator (the one 
with two Babdhs around). Kill them, then destroy the generator. Go up the ramp 
through the gate. There will be a cliff to your left. The opponents will begin 
spawning. Do not go up on the cliff. Stay down, under the cliff. Opponents will 
continuously spawn. If you position yourself correctly, you will not get hit. This is 
an easy way to level up Hatred/Flawed/Blasphemy, before level 12.

On level 5, proceed to the first Boss (with the shield). Back off him and let Malice 
continually shoot him. It appears that they can shoot at his shield continuously and 
still not kill him, and without him touching you, but your experience keeps 
increasing. 

Experience multiplier:
To get the multiplier, get the target result. You can view it by using Select. Try the 
achieve the maximum time. For health and soul, after defeating the Boss, quickly 
press Start and use health and soul item to get full. If you get the all targets 
closely, you will get something like 3x for the experience multiplier. Note: You can 
pass the target for special monster, health and soul, but you cannot pass or get 
less than the level time and Boss time.

Leveling up Legions:
Make sure to level up one organic-attack Legion and one inorganic-attack Legion 
(for example, Guilt and Flawed) until stage 9. After that, you can go back and level 
all of your Legions equally.

Blasphemey and Hatred Legions are by far the hardest Legions to level up. Take 
out one of your more powerful Legions along if you are using either one of them.

On the Lakeside level, have Malice Legion and Flawed Legion equipped. At the 
beginning of the level, kill one of the Spiked monsters on the first ledge. You can 
attack the Cannon monster a few times and make him fall off the ledges without 
dying (leaving the Spiked monsters still alive). Then, summon the Malice Legion 
and have them attack the monsters from the safety of the top ledge. This will allow 
you to get the power ups later in the level after leveling up Flawed Legion to get 
the double jump. 

Gun Legion:
When you are using the Gun Legion, press Triangle as fast possible. Every time 
pressed, your legion will fire a full strength shot while using no SP. 

Guilt Legion:
When using the Guilt Legion, treat them as your troops and yourself as a general. 
Command them into attacking targets who pose the largest threat to you by 
locking on and using Force Attack. If you are in need of protection from an 
onslaught, unsummonm then resummon the Legion after putting it into passive 
mode. Then, when enemies close in, press Force Attack and let your minions do 
the dirty work.


Hatred Legion:
The Hatred Legion is useful when you need some serious back-breaking power. It 
is best to rely on these Hulk-like legionnaires if the enemy's number is great and 
you are in need of a little break. They are best left in active mode. However, if you 
fiddle around with passive mode and target elimination, you can become a 
ferocious force with this legion.


Malice Legion:
This is the crossbow Legion best saved for large numbers of metallic enemies. 
Sniping is a great option, but consumes Soul Power. When the metallic enemies 
draw within ten feet of your legion, tap Force Attack repeatedly to "group snipe" 
them. Keep in mind that this is a great Legion for large numbers, but for other 
metallic enemies that are powerful as the Hatred legion, (for example, the armor 
suits on levels 10 and 11), consider using the Flawed Legion.


Arrogance Legion:
This is the "human shield" Legion. They are best used to create a temporary safe 
haven. Basically, summon them and keep them in passive mode so that they do 
not move, but protect. Then, trek out slightly and face your foe. If you find your 
enemy's numbers are too great, simply fall back to your safe haven and battle 
them from behind your shields. You may notice that the Arrogance Legion does not 
exactly pack a whole lot of power in their attack. However, if you wait until they 
have just a little bit of health remaining, press Force Attack and watch them put 
the hurt on. Then unsummon them and fight ferociously until you have restored 
your soul power.


Flawed Legion:
These are the little midgets with razor fingers. Once you lock-on to a hard to-
defeat metal enemy and press Force Attack, they will surprise with how they 
burrow into your opponents and take their health down a by a considerable 
amount. They are by far the worst fighters when left in active mode, which is why 
they are not recommended for large group fights unless you are in a situation 
where your attacks are almost worthless. Note: The Flawed Legion's extra abilities 
and the group's unsummoned special attack are by far the most useful of any 
legion. 


Blasphemy Legion:
Their little floating bombs also turn into convenient little land mines. This legion is 
best used against Denu, or the metallic and shiny opponents that are impervious 
to your attacks. 


Ultimate Legion:
This is by far the game's best Legion, yet the most underdeveloped. For example, 
it teleports to your opponent's blind spot and basically mutilates it. When you use 
its unsummoned special attack, you can move through a plane of slower time. 
There is only one legionnaire in this crest. Also, you cannot rely on this Legion to 
protect. It has a reaction time, and when it attacks it leaves you very vulnerable to 
your foes. 

Note: To get the Ultimate Legion, collect all the Thanatos Chips. 

Defeating the Giant Tree Boss:
Find a safe location where the lasers shot by his minions will not hit you. Then, 
stand there and time the lasers with your Legions and your own attacks so that no 
health is lost. 

Make sure you have the Guilty Legion and the Arrogance Legion equipped for this 
Boss. When you first get to the Boss, summon Arrogance to protect you. As they 
absorb the blasts of the cannons, have them return the attack of the cannons for 
experience. When a couple of cannons are remaining, dismiss the Arrogance 
Legion. Run to the tree and attack it until it opens up. Then, summon the Guilty 
Legion. Note: The amount of cannons respawned will increase as the tree gets 
more damaged -- be careful.


Defeating the Giant Spider Boss: 
In the cave, have no Legions active so that you can run around. Run up to the 
Boss and attack its right leg repeatedly. It does not matter if it is the right or left 
leg, but must be a front leg. After its leg falls to the ground, quickly summon a 
Legion (preferably Guilt) and press Force Attack (default Triangle). Attack it for 
one volley, then press Force Attack again and begin to get away from the Boss. 
Unsummon your Legion, and look at the Boss while in one of the two small 
clearings. While facing the Boss, hold R1 and as soon as its first laser is about to 
hit you, press X and movement Analog-stick Right. While still holding R1, repeat 
that maneuver once again. Then, repeat by attacking the leg and so on. Note: If 
the Boss falls from its perch, quickly get near its head and attack the now visible 
silver orb along by using Triangle with your Legions to assault it. 


Defeating Giant Trolls:
Jump and attack so that you can do a spin slash at its head. That will immobilize it. 
Keep doing this.


Boxed-up Gates:
You will eventually encounter gates with huge metal boxes behind them. Notice 
that you can lock on to these gates and even attack them, but it does not really do 
anything. That is because you need to use a Legion's attack to open it. To see 
which Legion you should use, check the little circle in the gate, and make sure it 
matches your Legion's symbol.


Power-ups:
On the stage 11, constantly explore before continuing onward. You will find plenty 
of power-ups.


Arcia:
In level 9 you get to use Arcia. This is basically just a fun level because you get to 
shoot enemies. Check what happens when you use the dodge technique with Arcia 
(hold R1 and press X when you move in any direction) This is useful for not getting 
hit, and you can shoot while performing these moves.


Longer combos:
If you want a longer combo try jumping into the air once. When coming down, you 
will hit your enemy once and when you hit the ground you will start your regular 
combo. It is still slightly longer.


Sieg combos:
Note: These work only if you have Guilt and Flawed Legions player techs fully 
leveled.


Press Square(5), X. 
Press X, then X again in that jump, then press X when you land.
