Levels/Objects ========================================================================== 2. About ------------------ Well... if you want to know all about this game you have come to the right place. Phantasy Star Online (PSO) is an online community game with classic Action RPG elements. Communicate With PSO you can go online and meet people from around the world. Its a great place to meet people for the first time as well as meet friends you already know. The game comes with 3 ways to talk to all people in PSO. The first is the basic. You hook up a keyboard to your Dreamcast and type your words away. The second is the "Pic Chat" which is a feature where you can make many faces and symbols for everyone to see. Its great to get your idea across without typeing as well as "chat" in the heat of battle. The third way is the translator. This is one you might not use too much but is probably the most important chat in the game. Since PSO is a world wide online game youll be meeting people that dont know your language. With the translator you can scroll through a list a pre-made messages. When you use it, your message will be translated to the users specific language. The game Other then PSO being online compared to the earlier series, it also handles its battles in a real time manner. You basicly get your armor and weapon ready and sloughter everything that moves. You can't hit other players in the original PSO but there is a battle mode where you can in PSO version 2. Half of the fun with PSO is finding something new to use or wear. ========================================================================= 3. Levels/Objects ------------------ Forest- ------- This is the first area of the game that you start. Forest consist of 2 areas. Basicly they are the same except the second area its raining. *Teleporters- This is your basic way of moving around the levels. There are at least 3 different teleporters. 1) The first is a triangle teleporter with a roof. Those teleport you to different areas and back to pioneer 2. 2) The second is a triangle teleporter with no roof. These just take you to different areas of the same level. 3) Is a big square teleporter. These send you to boss. They also tell you that it takes you there and gives you option to wait. Once these are activated, it is shutdown until th group or person inside leaves. Wait near this teleporter for all your teammates. *Electric Fences- These just block your way through. *Electric Fence Switches- These turn off an electric fence near by with the same color. *Doors- This is also another object that is in the whole game. Usually there is some light radiant on or near it with ether the color Green or Red. If the color is Green you can pass through it. If its Red you have to find a way to make it Green. Usually its ether to kill the enemies in the room or find a color switch nearby. Caves- ------ As you can guess you in the caves for this level. Now the levels get a little tricky. Since most of the areas and room look the same here it can get easy to get lost. When your online its a good idea to stay together. *Traps- Here is where you find your first traps. In the other areas traps act differently but are alas traps. The traps in Caves are mainly mines that get activated when you get near. When they are activated they ether hover just above your head or float in the air about the same level. Just attack them to get rid of them. If they appear above your head you'll ether need a teammate to get rid of it or use certain spells. *Smashers- These this can ether get anoying or can be use for just plain fun. These are basicly big presses from the ceiling that press anything in its waybelow it. There is 3 color rings where it hits. They areall green then the outer one turns red then the middle then the inner. When all 3 are lit red, you better not be under the smasher. *Floor Switches- These appear from now on into the game.They are basicly circle buttons on the floor. They're usually red but you want to make them green. Some once you press on them they stay green, while others turn back to red. The latter one is only online. Some times you only need to hit one while others are 2 and 4. Some floor switches are traps where they send "traps" at you. Mines- ------ I find this level's name kinda funny. It saids mines but its like a factory. Now you can probably guess that you are going to be fighting machines in this level. This level is also home to one of the more feared enemies in the game. *Mine Traps- These are like the traps in caves, they pop up when you get near but some have a new attack, it can Slo-mo. This cuts you attack and movement by half. Ruins- ------ Temple- ------- ??????? Spaceship- ---------- ??????? ========================================================================== 4.

H?? * Banned weapons - it mean that you can't use anymore online. The main purpose of this is because people used the cheat device to create these weapons before sonic team would release it into the game AND they get pissed about it. Heaven Punisher was one that ended like that but sonic team still kept it in. :) ================================================================================ 6.Secrets ------------ *Wall thru lock doors This is a trick caused by a bug in the game. When you get to a lock door, head to ether end of the door. Unequip the weapon you have. Now face about 145 degree away from the door. In this case more alittle bit more then faceing to the right or left of the door. Now do a 3-combo. Because your on the wall next to the door you wont move forward but after the 3rd combo your last action causes you to move alittle bit back. Because you have your back almost again the door you will be pushed alittle bit in the door. Turn and face the door and try to slide between the wall and the door. Do that for a few seconds then do the above again. Keep doing it until you get thru. *Take a snap shot picture First you'll need 2 controllers and a blank memory card. Now put the second controller into Port D and the blank memory card into slot 2 of the second controller. Go to where you want to take a snap shot and press together X, Y and Start. The screen should turn black with a 4 digit number counting down. This means it worked and while it counts down it is saving the pic to your blank memory card. Why need a blank memory card? Because it takes 195 blocks to save. lol *Be a spectator Have a second controller in Port C and press and hold L, R and press Up. Every time you do this you change people camera. In other words now you see exacly what your friend is seeing in hes/her screen.This cannot be done in Pioneer 2 and the lobbies. ============================================================================ 7. Game Shark -------------- * First off i want to say that i do own a Game Shark. It was rather recent tho BUT i am in no way hurt the community and game play of the game for other. I have not given a single dup. item and i plan to keep it that way, by my honor. :) There for i have also restricted the types of code for this FAQ. This codes will pretty much only hurt yourself unless your like me and have beaten that game all the way thru without one and are looking for something intresting to try. I do have code like create weapons and duplication but i am not going to mention it here. If you have a complaint about any of the code and that it should be removed ill be happy to do so because i realize the delicate balance of PSO. Well here they are: *Infinite TP 17BC178A *Money Doesn't go down 13041192 00000009 00000009 *Always give items 13F41527 *save to a different card 154C1517 to mag 0000E840 00000018 12341516 00000008 12641516 00000018 *GOd Control 1E6C146F *Can't drop weapon 122C101B 00000018 00000018 1FA4178C 00000008 1DFC178A 00000008 *Be able to play 1344163B grayed out quest 00000018 *Have all areas open: Normal 02493E80 Hard 02493F00 VHard 02493F80 C2CB1201 C2CB1201 C2CB1201 02493E84 02493F04 02493F84 00BDFFC0 00BDFFC0 00BDFFC0 ============================================================================= The End.
