Hint: Defeating Armstrong and Mustang:

Transmute the two tanks from the light poles and keep
shooting at Armstrong until he dies. Note: Switch from side to
side. When Armstrong dies. pick up the item that he drops called
"Demon Fist". Then, use whatever ammunition you have
remaining to damage Mustang. Then, transmute a Lighting Lance
and have Al tackle Mustang until he goes into the air. Then, start
attacking him. When he says "Stand back", run away.
Repeat this process until he dies. Note: Consume Magic-Caps as
soon as the battle starts and give one to Al.


Hint: Defeating Camalea and Fused Chemaia:

When fighting Camalea and Fused Chemaria, when Camalea
goes up in to the air and comes down she will not be able to move
for awhile. Go in and hit her. Repeat this and she will die quickly.



Hint: Defeating Sky Chimera:
When the battle begins, collect all of the Reload Treasures,
then make sure that the Sky Chimera is as close to the cannon
as possible. Shoot the Chimera with all four shots then reload.
If the Chimera is down, keep shooting and reloading. Repeat this
until the Chimera is down.


Hint: Flip over Crap Chimera:
Hold Circle until your alchemy is full. Then,
release the stone spikes you have charged in front of the crap's
face and it will flip over to its back. Once on its back, your
attacks are more effective.


Hint: Water Chimera:
When fighting the Ater, Earth, and Sky Chimeras, the
Water Chimera will go counterclockwise in the pools.


Hint: Easy items:
When you get the "vacuum", when it finishes
sucking, use alchemy to get a item such as Elixir.


Hint: Easy experience:
Transmute a table and chairs set into a rubber hammer.
It only does one point of damage per hit, but is very fast, allowing
you to get over 100 hits in a short matter of time. This will
result in a large amount of bonus experience.


Hint: Cowboy Bebop reference:

When you are fighting the final Bosses (Major Armstrong
and Colonel Mustang), you can hear the Cowboy Bebop ending
theme music.


Glitch: Human arm:
Stand still and look closely at Ed's right arm. You
can see that his hand is the same color as his skin. Instead of
his hand being the sword (your weapon when you are unequipped),
it is coming out of his sleeve.



Glitch: Disappearing Ed:
Go near a wall and have Ed face it. Turn the camera
so that it is as close to Ed as possible. Then, make the camera
go down. You will see Ed one moment, and not the next. Note: This
also works for everything you can see, but it is much more difficult.
