Tales Of Symphonia

Successfully complete and save the game, then reload the cleared game file. The "Game Record", "Sound Test", and "Mania" options will now be unlocked at the title screen. Also, go to the Grade Shop to access new items.

In the House of Guidance, the trade salesman sells Metal Spheres for 8.0 Grade. However, no matter how much Grade you have, he tells you that it is not enough. You will however still lose the Grade; it is as if you spent 8.0 Grade for nothing.

Note: This glitch only takes effect before you release the Fire Seal. When in and after battle during the time where it shows how much Grade, experience, etc. that you earned, notice that Collette floats just as if she had wings from after the Fire Seal.

When you release the seal for Origin, Mithos will take over Collette's body and fly away. She will leave the party. However, if you have the highest relationship level with Collette you can go back to the Temple Of Darkness and try to enter the hole in the wall on the stairs. She will show up, telling you to be careful even though she is no longer in your party.

The first time you are in Sybak, in the basement with Kate, examine the "Secret Passageway" before you go through it. It will make the sound of the passageway opening, but the passageway will already be opened. Note: You can only do this once per game.

When you reach the final battle and everyone is sent into a trap, if you selected Zelos as the person you talked with at Flanoir, the trap with the spider that devours souls will involve Sheena and Collete. Collete will go first, and Sheena will say "Heh, he beat me to it."

In Heimdal before you enter Torrent forest to battle Kratos and release Origin's seal, talk to Zelos. He will say his "Magic Words", "What will be, will be." Before you go to the Tower of Salvation to battle Mithos, go all the way back to Asgard. Go to the area where Linar and Aisha live then go to the far southeastern part of it. Talk to one of the middle-aged women there. One will say at some point, "What will be, will be.", which is the same thing that Zelos says.

To unlock the Grade Ship complete the game and save when prompted. Start the game again using the cleared game file. The game will prompt you to insert Disc 1. Upon doing so, you are taken to a screen where you can purchase various options with the Grade that you collected throughout the game. Note: You will receive 1000 extra Grade by defeating the final boss. The following things can be purchased at the shop.

When you reach Mithos' Castle, defeat the Dark Dragon and open the door. Go through the door, but do not go through the teleporter to Mithos. After you have opened the door and gone through it, go back to Meltokio. Go to the arena and fight in advanced mode with any character to get a personal arena weapon for that person.

After receiving special items from the Summon Spirits, you can change your weapon's element in order to deal more damage to some enemies. For example, using Water against a Fire-type enemy. Incidentally, some of these allow special techniques once conditions are met. Refer to the "Special abilities" hint for details.
