Dust An Elysian Tail

I found this helpful little glitch on another website.

Apparently you can get infinite gold by obtaining 256 of any one material. When you sell all that at once, you don't lose the items and you get the gold anyway.

Infinite Gold = Infinite HEALING ITEMS

I recommend the burgers and hotdogs for healing items, but that's just me.

MOD EDIT: Although this is not technically a full solution, the Reported Content Team think it's helpful enough (along with some great comments) to stay. Thanks.

This will unlock once you complete the game on either Tough or Hardcore difficulty, since it gives you the option for either, go with Tough as it will be easier than Hardcore.

Tough will start off hard, but eventually gets easier when you level up, if you ever come across an area and you find yourself needing to use Health Items all the time, exit it and grind in an area that you can manage, this is what I started to do during Sorrowing Meadow, the enemies were too hard in that area when I came to it, so I went back and leveled up a bit.

You level up by defeating enemies, the higher the combo you have, the better bonus XP you'll get, so try and keep the combo going in each area.

I would recommend saving any Revivals you have until the end boss, I found the end boss the hardest part of the game, while he is easy enough, he is going to take up a load of your health items and possibly trap you at some point, so be careful!

If you die, just press start and Load Game, this mean you'll still have that Revival and you'll be able to do whatever you died at with more caution.

There is no New Game + or whatever in this game, so you're best to start it off on Tough if you don't want to be putting in an extra 15-20 hours just for this achievement.

If anyone wants level references, I was at LV. 50 by the time I had completed the game, it can even go higher than this level, so if you need the extra health, attack or whatever, just keep leveling up!

Hardest enemies in the game were Evil Knife Hands (get easier if you level up, pretty much, don't give these guys a chance to fight back, be on the offensive all the time) and Phantoms (they get easier if you level up a bit, its just because of the amount of health they have, so it takes ages, and they will summon a whole pile of zombies, including bomb zombies which can easily one hit kill you, the Phantom itself can only be destroyed by magic attacks (B then hold Y), use the zombies below to regenerate the magic bar if needed).

For attack methods, use the Y attack and press B as much as you can, make sure to keep an eye on Dust as he'll start to go red when the attack is going to hurt you, the jump and press Y mid air attack is also useful for enemies such as Giants.

Note, there is X attack to, I would do a combo like this sometimes X > Y, this will launch the enemy up and a combo like this is perfect for the Evil Knife Hands enemy.

Anyways, this difficulty definitely isn't hard at all, in a Hack n Slash genre, this could be classed as Normal to most regular players, players who don't play these genres much may struggle a bit, but it is definitely one of the easier hard modes in my opinion, so it is doable, just don't give up. For anyone interested, Trials, Side Quests etc are definitely doable within this difficulty so you won't have to look at another playthrough unless you go beyond the point of no return in the last area without doing those things.

For those of you wondering what needs leveling up the most, use either of these options:

DEF > Fidget > ATK > HP
ATK > DEF > Fidget > HP

HP is the least of your worries as when you rescue friends, you will unlock more HP, please look at that achievement for locations of friends, please note that you won't be able to access all of them at the start of the game, you will have to unlock more skills for some, you also need four keys in order to open any cage.



There is also really helpful items that you can craft to raise stats even more, so I recommend getting the transceiver when that quest is given to you.

A perfect place to level up is on the final stage, just after the yellow orb gate. There is a savepoint and then bunch of ennemies. Just clean the level (maximizing the multiplier) & then save & load.

I managed to level up every 2 loadings and i did it from 40 to 52.

For the final boss, I equiped also two rings that gave me x2 & x3 to fidget. I finished with more than 10 000 for the fidget capacity.

With this and the massive use of the fireball, the final boss was a piece of cake.

This is just to help those struggling earlier on in the game to level up quickly with a relatively low risk of dying.

When you reach 'Sorrowing meadow', you will be given a task to retrieve four items from four mansions. The one we are looking for is called 'Samachua mansion', which can be found in the top right of the map. However, to get this area, we need the Iron grip. This handy, see what I did there ;), piece of equipment can be found in the 'Bardel mansion' which is found at the bottom left of the map.

After the Iron grip is collected, go to the objective marker at the top right of the map (Samachua Mansion). Carry out your regular business of cleaning out the mansion and come back outside, this is where our exp trick starts.

To the left of the mansion there is a rock giant/ogre creature. Each time you kill this creature you are awarded 1000exp. He is extremely easy to kill, just hold X to block and stun him, then give him everything you got. Then simply re-enter and exit the mansion again to respawn him.

This method takes no more than 10 seconds and the only difficult thing is blocking.

Another benefit here is picking up gold, food items and materials. The materials can then be sold to the shopkeeper to the right of the mansion.

If you are anything like me, you will make the odd mistake when blocking and lose a chunk of health. If this happens quickly roll away from our giant friend and heal up. There is also a convenient save spot to the left of the mansion, so I recommend saving to prevent loosing all your hard work.

A glitch to earn money has been posted above, but there is an easier glitch.


Note that you need to press instead of as the user is on a PS.

You can use this money to buy Revival Stones, Treasure Keys, Food Items & equipment upgrades.
