Easy Money
One easy way to rake in the silver coins is to increase your luck rating. By using luck increasing items, such as: Luck Ring, Lemina's Purse, and Safety Helmet, there are others as well.
Magic items
Figure out best combos, example most of crests fairly useless towards end as most monsters immune to effects, suggest Hero crest (brave ruins) with Jean as she reacts fastest, White dragon shield with Lemina as she has most magic (good for bosses, just note positions they assume for magic attacks and can save magic to protect from strong spells, example: pyro ghouls, breathing fire, precipitating fire wave).
Ronfar and Lemina should be first with heal rings and anti-effect rings, Ronfar for heals and Lemina as strongest magic user for group attacks or protection or boosting attack of other fighters.
Enemy strategy
If an enemy keeps beating you change tactics. Note what positions indicate which attacks. If enemy doing boost attack/defense spell can use time to boost own character attributes, heal, or use lights to recover magic points without worrying about characters knocked out. Also, try to arrange group so fighters spread out at front and mages kept at back. That way if enemy tries to attack mages at back will have to go around or stop in front of fighters. Plus, enemy zone spells more likely to miss other characters if not grouped together.
Hero crest in brave labyrinth
It's the new cave north of Horum. To open door get swords to follow you over the glowing sword plates on ground. Next gates are opened by selecting correct statue. Wrong statue will result in attack by a Lady Charme and others. Avoid spears in floor by walking on left side. When see chest prepare for battle. Opening chest will result in attack by Hero crest and fist/sword fighters. Take crest out first as will increase attacks of others or create another attacker. Hero crest will take ring slot. I put it with Jean. At cost of one magic (Have to cast from magic for effect) will increase attack of all characters.
Alex's Ocarina
Don't know what it's for but it will play music in game. It's in the shrine where the waterfall between bath entrances were next to where you meet Carnival for the first time and Jean joined up. The maze is easy. Step on hollow centered 6 pointed stars to go up and fill in 5 pointed stars to go back down to the entrance. It's basically square shaped with wraparound exits. So going left of the left most room will result in entering the rightmost room on right side and so on. You can tell when the wall/floor designs begin shifting. Eventually, you will be attacked by angel, mage and sword. Take them out in this order: Mage (floating small guy on left, immune to magic but weak against attack, poe sword, triple slice, blade attacks, and dragon fist), Angel (dude on bottom, takes moderate damage from most attacks/spells), and then Sword (knight, immune to attack but weak against magic, although found triple attack with power drive was more powerful than Hiro's boomerang/cyclone).
