Try "Dark Cloud" or "Island King" for swords, "Love" for Brassards, "LEGEND" for Hammers, "Grade Zero" for Wrenches, and "Supernova" for Guns. EXACTLY HOW I SPELLED THEM!

    Unlimited Money and Bait

    First, you need to be to the point in your story where you're at the "Fish Monster Swamp" in the Rainbow Butterfly Woods. Talk to the Firbit with green clothes that's sitting on the log. He will give you the fishing pole. He will also give you some bait. When you use all the bait, he will give you 5 Mimi. Keep doing this until you have caught as many fish as you want. Then you go to sell each fish you caught for 50 Gilda. Go back and forth until you have as much money as you want.

    **WARNING** If you summon the Mardan and give him a Priscleen fish, he will release the Firbits from their spell, and you can't get the bait anymore.

    Getting the Serpant Slice

    The hardest part of Balance Valley in my opinion is getting Sherrif Blinkhorn to reside there. First stock up about 10 iron fences and 1 wooden gate put all the fences around a brick house then put the wooden gate in between the two different sides. Then move Blinkhorn in. Now you should have somewhere around 90% complete. Go to the next floor and battle Grapspar (I don't really know his name, I completed this cheat a week ago) The hardest part is knocking the Evil Flames away. Hit them as they get Close. You will switch off from Monica to Max and then back again for a while. Once you when and return to Balance Valley go to the future. Once you leave and go to the station return to the future once more now you will finally have completed Balance Valley. Go and run around the Moon Crystal a few times opening those tiny treasure boxes. I got a Potato Pie and a witch parfait. The Serpant Slice also appeared in Dark Cloud the sword you need to beat the Viper.

    Corrine the hider.

    In order to find Corrine you need to have completed Polly's request (you get 20 free crunchy breads). Go to the house that, that stubborn jerk sent you on Polly's mission. You will find Corrine there. Corrine will want to play hide and go seek (You must be Monica for her to ask you). Accept. Corrine will hide in two different places. First is by Max's house, (Claire's house?) go inside she isn't hard to find, because she's in Claire's room in the daylight. Next she's in Max's room go in and find her at the bottom of the bed. Doing this is rewarding because when in your party Corrine always gets the angel side of the coin!!!

    Defeating the Rainbow Butterfly

    In order to defeat the Rainbow Butterfly you need either a sword or a wrench with an attack of about 60. There are 6 yellow things in the middle of the gigantic "Lafresca." This is where things get tricky. Try to attack all of the worm-like things in the middle twice. The things have about 100 HP. If you don't manage to you should reset the game, unless Monica has a high magic attack. Use Monica's magic to hit them each twice. Once you do that you can defeat the Rainbow Butterfly without doing "No Effect". There are now 7 (I think) now if you have the Barrel Cannon for the Ridepod lock on and then attack from a distance. Soon you will have defeated the Rainbow Butterfly!!!
