How To Unlock Alioth, Subchapter 2

This is the hardest section of weapons master mode to reach. To unlock this area, a players ranking must be in edgemaster range (Level 72 is the first edgemaster rank). After that, the player must overcome chapter 4, stage 3 a second or third time simply to the road to Alioth.

Xbox | Submitted by nick a.k.a Blade

More To Do To Get Lizard Man

In order to be lizard man u need to become an edgemaster rank. the first e.m. rank is level 72. to reach sub chapter two be level 72 or higher. then beat a level in mizar (preferably merope monastery) in extra or regular mission again. there should then be the road to alioth. after beating that fully, lizard man will become selectable. this will only work if you have beat the whole weapon master mode. if you beat alioth before then like myself, the lizard man will only be selectable when you finish the game. I am level 75 grand edge master of the basilik and know what I am talking about. you can also purchase all joke/fake weapons. like nightmare's galley oar or kilik's bamboo staff.

Easy Experence And Money

In the Weapons Master part of the game in the first level, where u are trying to prove yourself, just keep losing the battles by letting the time run out and u will get 100 money and experience each time. This is a good trick if u believe in being prepared for future fights.

GameCube | Submitted by VolcanicFighter

Defeat Long Range Fighters

Ok so when you're against some long range fighters like Ivy, Klik, and Sueng Mina use a fast character like taki, Voldo, Maxi and so on. So when they wind up for an attack constantly move to the side and right after they've finished it move in for some powerful combos

GameCube | Submitted by QuidBoy

Special Jump For Taki

When you are taki, on any level with a wall, when your opponents back is against the wall press A + B to jump then hold it to "stall" on the wall for a short time, you can also do a slash attack when you land if you get the timing right.

Taunts

To do different taunts after you select a character and the level is loading just press A, B, Y, or X to say different things.

Highest Level

To get the highest level on weapon master u have to get to level 78 on wards the highest i got is the grand edge master of the basilisk. after u reach the platinum edge master it levels up every 10,000 exp points the best place to get the exp is 2 fite the 4 platinum edge masters on the extra chapter

GameCube | Submitted by Al

Bug Boom

Bug booms are sweet. You must be link first and make all your stages 0/10. The buy all weapons except for links weapons. Get spawn by beating weapon master mode with nightmare. (don't lose a life). Then play with spawn and fail the first stage 5 times. Get every characters profile and do links attack number 2 sound 10 times. Beat Inforno at stage 10 1 with bombs only. After their will be a new feature. You unlocked links bug booms. They can't miss and they stay on their enemy until the enemy dies. (They blow up every 5 seconds) Bug out boys

VERY Valuable Tip

Looking for that weapon that you just can't find? or that piece of clothing that you fell in love with but didn't have enough money for, then got enough and went back only to find that it was GONE!?!?Well, I have an answer to your problem! In weapon master mode, every sub-chapter and chapter ALL have different items in their shops! Everyone's 2nd best weapons are in the chapter after sub-chapter 4! "But how do I get there!?" you ask? well just finish all of the extra missions in Merak (it's one of the chapters)!

Fighting Hints

In extra mission 2,try using spawn on the first two stages[ Cor Caroli, Er Rai]. On stage 1,use his Abomination axe and throw all seven of your opponents [the axe takes life away for hits, not throws]. If that doesn't work, use levitating attacks. On Er Rai, use the same axe and mostly use levitation attacks because of the frequent earthquakes. The Abomination axe is the best weapon for Spawn, I believe because, even though it takes life away with every swing, [hit or not]when used correctly, it can take over half of the opponents health in the first strike. It also does not take life away from you when throwing an enemy although it has the same deadly effect on them [a world of extreme pain.]

Cheap Raphael Move

This isn't really a cheat, but it works! Select Raphael whenever you do 1 player mode (or 2-P if you don't care about being cheap against your friends) and when you start playing make sure that the only moves you make are this. Hold the thumb stick in the direction you are facing and press Y rapidly. This move is highly difficult to block, and it will get you through most of weapon master mode.

Mr. Game And Watch

In Survival Mode, play as Link. Beat at least 15 of the characters by throwing them off of the edge of the stage. After you complete that, it will show clips of the old Game and Watch game and will show Mr. Game and Watch appear from the bottom of the stage with his skillet and bacon.

Links Move List (And More)

If you read alot all my hints/codes are long but this one i'll try to make short.

Links moves (from the right):

trip and bow stance: diagonally down, towards +Y(hold) (needless to say this trips them if you lucky and you shoot them while there down)

stab charge: back back y+x if you hold it you run and keep stabbing them(hint might want to use soul charge for best results)

elbow then knock down: back+x then a (hint when there down soul charge or don't then try a powerful attack)

non-stop poking: forward+x, then press x rapidly (if you lucky he'll stab them and they fall)

SSBM tornado uppercut (super smash bros. melee): A+up (do it when they get up)

Slice uppercut then bow(this one takes alot of practice): you press up up, or down down really fast then Y and hold and time it right and shoot in front of you when they fall down.(really hard)

Super Easy Gold

For very easy gold all you have to do is play weapon master mode and fight, If you win or lose you still get gold. Cool huh?

Or just go to arcade mode or time attack, etc.

Easy Win Against Necrid

This hint is very simple. When you are fighting Necrid and you want to beat him fast then you have to follow these steps: first your character has to go to the end of the ring. Second, Necrid might do a quick attack when he does a spinning attack in the air. this attack goes through your character) Since you are at the end of the ring, he will kill himself by getting a ring out.

note: you might want to make him lay down before you do this move because he does this move even if you're a little far away from him.

Demonic And Legendary Weapon Wielding

To get a demonic or a legendary weapon for any character, first unlock the extra chapters Castor and Cephus. Go to Castor and in the shop you will be able to purchase the Soul Edge for any and every character (these are demonic weapons). Go to Cephus for the Legendary weapons. Some characters get the Soul Calibur while others get other just as good weapons (ex.- Nightmare gets Soul Calibur; Raphael gets Queen's Guard).

How To Get Soul Caliber

Beat weapon master once and then play extra mission Phantom Cave. (in chapter 8) You then should unlock Subchapter 4(PROCYON)Take the easiest or shortest way to Lynx Arbor then go down a chapter to the extra chapter 2(CEPHEUS) Here press start and go to shop and it should have all the Soul Calibers.**NOTE: FOR ME IT HAD A LOT OF WEAPONS BUT ONLY TALIM'S SOUL CALIBER WAS THERE I THINK THE OTHER WEAPONS ARE EQUIVALENT TO THEIR SOUL CALIBER (meaning all the characters swords are their but they have different names)**

Easier Ring-Outs

Ok this isn't that much of a cheat, but here goes. ok when your playing weapon master, you have to get a ring out in order to win. ok so if you want easier ring outs, (with link) charge your opponent to the edge and do anything to make your opponent fall. once he does that...press right on the c-stick, and link will pull out a bomb, press it again and he'll throw the bomb, and if your close enough, your opponent should fall...

and hers a little tip for an opponent that is aggressive after he falls. press c-stick left, and link will pull out his bow and arrow. that should slow your opponent down, then if your winning and want to waste time...back up and let him charge you, and fire a bow. o yea if he's up-close and aggressive, but u have a little time, use a bomb
