Change appearance: Defeat the stage 10 Boss to unlock the Change

Avoid losing life: Pause game play before the last part of your
health disappears. Use a healing item, and you will still have that
life.
Easy experience: Find a location where enemies spawn in groups
of two or three. Put a Legion on active attack mode and let them kill
those same enemies for hours. This works if your Legion is strong
enough, but check up every ten to fifteen minutes to make sure your
health is still the same. If it has changed, check more frequently to
make sure you do not die.
Let your Legions take the kills and do most of your dirty work. You
will get double experience. Also, press Force Attack if you are in a
tight spot.
For more challenging play, but better experience, when a generator
keeps making monsters reappear, just stay there and kill those
monsters over and over again, but don't attack the generator.
Go to level 6 and fight all the way to the second stage. Use the
Malice and keep using the Force Attack (Triangle). Press it repeatedly
after there are no threats around, except for the heads with the
spikes that cannot die with conventional attacks. Do this for a while
to gain experience.
Start level 7 and go forward. Kill the opponents, then go to the
generator (the one with two Babdhs around). Kill them, then destroy
the generator. Go up the ramp through the gate. There will be a cliff
to your left. The opponents will begin spawning. Do not go up on the
cliff. Stay down, under the cliff. Opponents will continuously spawn.
If you position yourself correctly, you will not get hit. This is an
easy way to level up Hatred/Flawed/Blasphemy, before level 12.
On level 5, proceed to the first Boss (with the shield). Back off him
and let Malice continually shoot him. It appears that they can shoot
at his shield continuously and still not kill him, and without him
touching you, but your experience keeps increasing.
After getting the "Map Selector", return to level 2 and complete it.
Every time you finish this level, you are bound to get an "Exp Gem
(L)" which you can use to give a Legion 500,000 experience points.
This is very useful, as this level is very easy. It should take you
less than five minutes to finish it.
On level 6, target the Armored Spikes and use the Malice Legion. If
you have a controller with a turbo feature, hold Special Fire and
watch your experience increase quickly. Otherwise, just tap Special
Fire as fast as possible. The Armored Spikes will not die, but the
experience keeps increasing.
To max out all your stats accept Soul Replay stage 2 repeatedly. Kill
the Starving Fang that is after the first two groups of Blades before
it runs away. Where it normally would be after it runs will be a Max
Life Up Small.
Experience multiplier: To get the multiplier, get the target
result. You can view it by using Select. Try the achieve the maximum
time. For health and soul, after defeating the Boss, quickly press
Start and use health and soul item to get full. If you get the all
targets closely, you will get something like 3x for the experience
multiplier. Note: You can pass the target for special monster, health
and soul, but you cannot pass or get less than the level time and Boss
time.
Unlimited Souls: Go to a level with the invisible spider-like
creatures that only Legions can kill. Eliminate all enemies in the
area except for this monster. Stand behind the monster and slash away.
The invisible spider-like creature will keep attacking forward, even
though you are behind it, and since you cannot hurt it with your sword
you can keep slashing until your Soul gauge is full.
Levelling up Legions: Make sure to level up one organic-attack
Legion and one inorganic-attack Legion (for example, Guilt and Flawed)
until stage 9. After that, you can go back and level all of your
Legions equally.
Blasphemy and Hatred Legions are by far the hardest Legions to level
up. Take out one of your more powerful Legions along if you are using
either one of them.
On the Lakeside level, have Malice Legion and Flawed Legion equipped.
At the beginning of the level, kill one of the Spiked monsters on the
first ledge. You can attack the Cannon monster a few times and make
him fall off the ledges without dying (leaving the Spiked monsters
still alive). Then, summon the Malice Legion and have them attack the
monsters from the safety of the top ledge. This will allow you to get
the power ups later in the level after levelling up Flawed Legion to
get the double jump.
Guilt Legion: When using the Guilt Legion, treat them as your
troops and yourself as a general. Command them into attacking targets
who pose the largest threat to you by locking on and using Force
Attack. If you are in need of protection from an onslaught, unsummonm
then resummon the Legion after putting it into passive mode. Then,
when enemies close in, press Force Attack and let your minions do the
dirty work.
Gun Legion: When you are using the Gun Legion, press Triangle as
fast possible. Every time pressed, your legion will fire a full
strength shot while using no SP.
Hatred Legion: The Hatred Legion is useful when you need some
serious back-breaking power. It is best to rely on these Hulk-like
legionnaires if the enemy's number is great and you are in need of a
little break. They are best left in active mode. However, if you
fiddle around with passive mode and target elimination, you can become
a ferocious force with this legion.
Malice Legion: This is the crossbow Legion best saved for large
numbers of metallic enemies. Sniping is a great option, but consumes
Soul Power. When the metallic enemies draw within ten feet of your
legion, tap Force Attack repeatedly to "group snipe" them. Keep in
mind that this is a great Legion for large numbers, but for other
metallic enemies that are powerful as the Hatred legion, (for example,
the armor suits on levels 10 and 11), consider using the Flawed
Legion.
Arrogance Legion: This is the "human shield" Legion. They are
best used to create a temporary safe haven. Basically, summon them and
keep them in passive mode so that they do not move, but protect. Then,
trek out slightly and face your foe. If you find your enemy's numbers
are too great, simply fall back to your safe haven and battle them
from behind your shields. You may notice that the Arrogance Legion
does not exactly pack a whole lot of power in their attack. However,
if you wait until they have just a little bit of health remaining,
press Force Attack and watch them put the hurt on. Then unsummon them
and fight ferociously until you have restored your soul power.
Flawed Legion: These are the little midgets with razor fingers.
Once you lock-on to a hard to-defeat metal enemy and press Force
Attack, they will surprise with how they burrow into your opponents
and take their health down a by a considerable amount. They are by far
the worst fighters when left in active mode, which is why they are not
recommended for large group fights unless you are in a situation where
your attacks are almost worthless. Note: The Flawed Legion's extra
abilities and the group's unsummoned special attack are by far the
most useful of any legion.
Blasphemy Legion: Their little floating bombs also turn into
convenient little land mines. This legion is best used against Denu,
or the metallic and shiny opponents that are impervious to your
attacks.
Ultimate Legion: This is by far the game's best Legion, yet the
most underdeveloped. For example, it teleports to your opponent's
blind spot and basically mutilates it. When you use its unsummoned
special attack, you can move through a plane of slower time. There is
only one legionnaire in this crest. Also, you cannot rely on this
Legion to protect. It has a reaction time, and when it attacks it
leaves you very vulnerable to your foes.
Note: To get the Ultimate Legion, collect all the Thantos Chips.
Defeating the Giant Tree Boss: Find a safe location where the
lasers shot by his minions will not hit you. Then, stand there and
time the lasers with your Legions and your own attacks so that no
health is lost.
Make sure you have the Guilty Legion and the Arrogance Legion equipped
for this Boss. When you first get to the Boss, summon Arrogance to
protect you. As they absorb the blasts of the cannons, have them
return the attack of the cannons for experience. When a couple of
cannons are remaining, dismiss the Arrogance Legion. Run to the tree
and attack it until it opens up. Then, summon the Guilty Legion. Note:
The amount of cannons respawned will increase as the tree gets more
damaged -- be careful.
First, equip the Arogance and Blasphemy Legions. When you get to the
Boss, attack it until a blue thing on the tree appears. Attack it with
two combos, then when it starts to come down quickly use Arrogance's
Triangle move and you will not take damage. When you get it into
yellow HP bar, destroy the little energy beam things so that they will
not get in your way. Also look out for the vine whips. Once you defeat
the Boss, you will receive the Flawed Legion.
Defeating the Giant Spider Boss: In the cave, have no Legions
active so that you can run around. Run up to the Boss and attack its
right leg repeatedly. It does not matter if it is the right or left
leg, but must be a front leg. After its leg falls to the ground,
quickly summon a Legion (preferably Guilt) and press Force Attack
(default Triangle). Attack it for one volley, then press Force Attack
again and begin to get away from the Boss. Unsummon your Legion, and
look at the Boss while in one of the two small clearings. While facing
the Boss, hold R1 and as soon as its first laser is about to hit you,
press X and movement Analog-stick Right. While still holding R1,
repeat that maneuver once again. Then, repeat by attacking the leg and
so on. Note: If the Boss falls from its perch, quickly get near its
head and attack the now visible silver orb along by using Triangle
with your Legions to assault it.
Defeating Giant Trolls: Jump and attack so that you can do a
spin slash at its head. That will immobilize it. Keep doing this.
Defeating large Danu: To defeat a large Danu (the Boss creatures
in the Lakeside level that are supposedly unaffected by your sword)
easily, equip the Flawed (Claw) Legion. Jump up to an elevated area
where the Danu cannot hit you, but where you have a good overview of
the area and the enemies. When positioned, summon Flawed and press
[Force Attack] to get them to dive down on the Danu. After you hear
the Danu get hit about five or times per Legion. Hopefully they will
all attack at the same time. Then, call your Flawed back. As soon as
possible, re-summon your Flawed for another round of attacks then call
them back once again. This prevents the Danu from getting an attack
in, and it drains their life at a fair speed.
Enemy weaknesses: The clear enemies and the Giant Behemoths are
weak against Lightning. All enemies are weak against fire, and can be
easily brought to their knees with an Avenger level 2 or Breakdown
level 2. Malice will make quick work of any metallic monsters on any
level. The stage 8 Boss is weak against Breakdown level 2 or Air Blaze
level 2. Organic enemies are weak against Guilt.
Boxed-up Gates: You will eventually encounter gates with huge
metal boxes behind them. Notice that you can lock on to these gates
and even attack them, but it does not really do anything. That is
because you need to use a Legion's attack to open it. To see which
Legion you should use, check the little circle in the gate, and make
sure it matches your Legion's symbol.
Power-ups: On the stage 11, constantly explore before continuing
onward. You will find plenty of power-ups.
Thantos Chips: On stage 6, there is a Thantos Chip on the far
right side on the beginning. However, you have to defeat the red
monster layer. Once you do that the Thantos chip will appear.
Arcia: In level 9 you get to use Arcia. This is basically just a
fun level because you get to shoot enemies. Check what happens when
you use the dodge technique with Arcia (hold R1 and press X when you
move in any direction) This is useful for not getting hit, and you can
shoot while performing these moves.
Longer combos: If you want a longer combo try jumping into the
air once. When coming down, you will hit your enemy once and when you
hit the ground you will start your regular combo. It is still slightly
longer.
Sieg combos: Note: These work only if you have Guilt and Flawed
Legions player techs fully leveled.
Press Square(5), X. Press X, then X again in that jump, then
press X when you land.
This works with almost all normal enemies but is more effective to
those you can launch in the air. First, acquire the Double Jump
technique from the Flawed Legion and equip the Legion or have its
Spirit Trancer. You also must acquire the Ground Zero technique from
the Guilt legion and equip the Legion or have its Spirit Trancer, or
have the Tackle Technique from the Hatred Legion and equip the Legion
or have its Spirit Trancer. With the Double Jump technique, jump above
your enemy and make sure you are directly above it when you execute
your second jump. If timed correctly (assuming you could launch your
enemy in the air), the enemy will be launched in the air and will be
in front of you. Your next move will be determined by what you have
equipped, Guilt or Hatred Legion. If you have Guilt Legion equipped,
during the time that the enemy is in front of you in the air, slash it
once and hold Attack until you hit the ground. Once you hit the
ground, Sieg will automatically perform the Ground Zero technique. If
you are strong enough, most normal enemies will be killed by doing
this. Stronger normal enemies will at least have half of their life
shaved off. If you have the Hatred Legion equipped, during the time
that the enemy is in front of you in the air, slash it once and once
you land, perform the Tackle technique. This is a much stronger move
and is quicker than using the Ground Zero variation above. If you are
strong enough, most normal enemies will be killed by doing this.
Stronger normal enemies will have more than half of their life shaved
off. This combo still works with larger enemies, but they will not be
launched when hit with the second jump.
