Wild Arms 4 - Strategy Guide (Page 02)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Wild Arms 4 - Strategy Guide (Page 02).
Now, about GC point (GCP for short) distribution:
- For each LV chr gains one GCP is awarded (maximum of 100 GCP at lv100).
- You can expend GCP to allow chrs learn PS way before they reach required
level. Example: Raquel is lv80, so she has 80 GCP. There is "Add Badge Slot"
PS she can learn at lv95. But instead of waiting that long, you can expend 15
GCP and she will learn that PS (denoted by silver star).
- Don't overdo it with GCP distribution, as each GCP you expend decreases MAX
HP and MP.
- You can withdraw GCP the same way you expend them. Or place the cursor on GCP
bar, press Circle and choose top option to withdraw all of them at once.
- Once PS is mastered by reaching required level, it will be marked as such
with gold star and words "MASTER" appearing next to it. If any GCP were
expended towards that PS, these GCP are returned to your GCP total.
Adjusting MAX HP and MAX MP details:
- at lv100 Jude has 6000 base MAX HP and 300 base MAX MP
- by putting HP/MP ratio to the left Jude will have 3500 MAX HP and 400 MAX MP
- by putting HP/MP ratio to the right Jude will have 8500 MAX HP and 200 MAX MP
- calculations are done like this:
-> if sliding left: new MAX HP = [base MAX HP - GCP x 25]
-> if sliding right: new MAX HP = [base MAX HP + GCP x 25]
-> if sliding left: new MAX MP = [base MAX MP + GCP]
-> if sliding right: new MAX MP = [base MAX MP - GCP]
Additionally, this submenu allows renaming chrs' OC in any other way you wish.

10.) BATTLE MODE - G1000
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
First a quick rundown on what you will see on battle screen.
- Help line at the top.
- Upper left corner has:
a) battle commands.
b) names and HP bars of all enemies encountered.
Info displayed depends on what command you select.
- Upper right corner has chrs' avatars, with HP and MP bars below.
- At the bottom you see battle turn order, showing you whose turn it currently
is and whose turn will be next (useful for planning your course of battle).
- PPS activation notices which regularly appear in lower right corner.
- Force Gauge (FG for short) at the right of the screen.
Let's discuss various battle subjects now.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
------------------------------- BATTLE COMMANDS -------------------------------
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
It is in a shape of hexagon as well (like main menu):
ITEMS
1
OR. COMMANDS FORCE AB.
6 2
ATTACK
7
ANALYZE SYSTEM
5 3
MOVE
4
1. ITEMS
Use battle items from your inventory. You can also rearrange them.
2. FORCE ABILITIES
Use chr's unique FA or learned FCA (for more info on latter, please look
into Force Combination Arts subsection under Battlefield entry).
You need at least 25 FP to perform FA.
3. SYSTEM
Fiddle around with game settings (the same as in main menu, except that you
can't load previous game from here).
4. MOVE
Move your chr to nearby unoccupied hex or to nearby hex already occupied
with other party member/s. If you target the hex you're currently standing
on, chr will guard until next turn (in Jude's case he will also reload his
ARM if any shots have been fired already).
Please note the following: Six outer hexes have another "boundary", which
points to "outside". If you manage to have one of your chrs successfully
reach this "boundary", your party escapes from battle. Event battles cannot
be escaped from!
If you wish to escape from battle, try grouping all of your chrs on the hex
you will escape from. The more chrs you have in escapee hex, the less gella
you lose from running. Optionally, if the chr who makes the escape attempt
is wearing Rabbit badge, no gella is lost. Otherwise, it's like this:
Chr is alone in escapee hex -> [enemies' gella total x 4 = gella lost]
Two chrs in escapee hex -> [enemies' gella total x 3 = gella lost]
Three chrs in escapee hex -> [enemies' gella total x 2 = gella lost]
All four chrs in escapee hex -> [no gella is lost]
5. ANALYZE
View information on enemies encountered. Following info is available:
LV - level of enemy
HP - MAX (or remaining, if already hit before) HP of enemy
EXP - EXP awarded when enemy is killed
GELLA - gella awarded when enemy is killed
ATTRIBUTE - special attribute enemy possesses, like undead or machine
FIRE AFFINITY - enemy's fire element resistance
WATER AFFINITY - enemy's water element resistance
WIND AFFINITY - enemy's wind element resistance
EARTH AFFINITY - enemy's earth element resistance
WEAKNESS - tells you suggested method for taking the enemy out, like
using Sanctify on undead etc.
ITEMS CARRIED - a single enemy can carry up to four items; item listed as
first has the lowest % of being stolen, and item listed at
bottom has the highest % of being stolen
Please note the following: while items indeed appear when all enemies are
defeated, they have no connection whatsoever with items enemies carry. For
example, you fight a group of Gobs, who carry Gella Cards, Lucky Cards and
badges. But when battle ends, you may be awarded with Dragon Fossil.
6. ORIGINAL COMMANDS
Use OC chr has learned so far. Please note that you need MP for them - no
MP means no fireworks. Some OC may be affected depending on which hex you
stand at time of execution. Depending on the type of OC used, chr is allowed
to target any hex on the battlefield, adjacent hexes or two hexes in a
straight line, etc. For such information look into Original Commands
section.
7. ATTACK
Use the equipped weapon to attack nearby hex.
- Jude's ARM has a reach of two hexes in a straight line. If Jude's ARM runs
out of bullets, it will transform into a sword (allows Jude to attack
hexes adjacent to his) until Jude reloads.
- Yulie can attack hexes adjacent to hers.
- Raquel can attack hexes adjacent to hers.
- Arnaud can attack hexes adjacent to his.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
--------------------------- CHARACTERS' QUICK INFO ----------------------------
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
You will see this in upper right corner. It consists of four things:
- chr's avatar
- current HP (if it's full, the number is blue; some of it lost, number is
white; critical HP, number is red; chr is KO-ed, number is grey)
- red bar, representing ratio of current to MAX HP
- green bar, representing ratio of current to MAX MP
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
------------------------------ BATTLE TURN ORDER ------------------------------
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Appears on bottom of battle screen. It shows up to nine entries with small
avatars of your chrs, or having word "ENEMY" or "BOSS" (along with appropriate
letter) in it. The entry which appears on far left is the combatant whose turn
currently is. Once that combatant makes a move, his/her/its turn ends and it's
next combatant's turn. Reaction stat of combatants dictates how quickly they
get a turn, as well as equipment carried and previous actions they did in
battle.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
--------------------------- PPS ACTIVATION NOTICES ----------------------------
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
As battle progresses, and if your chrs have learned/mastered any PPS so far,
and also assuming they haven't been toggled off, once the requirements for PPS
activation have been met, you will be notified of PPS activating by a small
notice in lower right corner. Example: Raquel has PPS Red Zone, which allows
her to instantly get a turn if her HP is reduced to a critical level. When
she's hit with an attack that does so, you will see Red Zone's name appear in
lower right corner, and Raquel's entry appearing at far left of battle turn
order bar. Some PPS award bonus EXP rate when activated.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
--------------------------------- FORCE GAUGE ---------------------------------
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Appears on far right of the screen and consists of two bars.
Blue bar on the left fills as various actions occur in battle:
- your chr attacks an enemy
- enemy attacks your chr
- chr guards
- and so on...
As it reaches values of 25, 50, 75 and 100, red segments on the right will fill
up. If at least one is full, you can have one of your chrs perform FA.
JUDE'S FA: MYSTIC
Use a battle item from your inventory and have that item affect
all hexes.
YULIE'S FA: MATERIAL
Depending on color of the hex she's standing in, she will summon a
guardian.
- Grey hex: a guardian which recovers team's HP
- Green hex: a guardian which deals wind mgd to all enemies
- Yellow hex: a guardian which deals earth mgd to all enemies
- Red hex: a guardian which deals fire mgd to all enemies
- Blue hex: a guardian which deals water mgd to all enemies
ARNAUD'S FA: JUMP
Arnaud as well as any allies (even if KO-ed) in current hex will
jump to any other unoccupied hex or any other hex already occupied
by a team member. If relevant PPS is learned, Arnaud still retains
his current turn and can act again.
RAQUEL'S FA: INTRUDE
When Raquel uses Intrude, she will gain two turns in a row. This
is a very cool FA indeed - if your FG is full, and it is Raquel's
turn, you can have her perform four to five attacks in a row. Use
Intrude, attack once, use Intrude, attack once, etc...
You may wonder just for how much does FP rise if certain actions are performed
in battle, be it you attacking the enemies or vice versa. Following is the list
of all actions in battle that make your FP rise (and there's quite a lot of
them), and actions which make it drop.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACTION TYPE | FP GAIN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
????? | 4 FP
????? | 8 FP
????? | 6 FP
????? | 4 FP

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: If chr is standing in a hex under misery status, *all* FP increases are
locked to 1.
NOTE: If FA is used, no FP are awarded!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACTION TYPE | FP LOSS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chr's unique Force Ability is used | 25 FP
Force Combination Art is used (cost is either 50, 75 or 100 FP) | Formula FP
Enemy's attack on team's FG (25 FP per chr in target hex) | 25 FP
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
--------------------------------- BATTLEFIELD ---------------------------------
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Battlefield consists of six smaller hexes surrounding middle hex, thus seven
hexes in total. When battle begins, your chrs and enemies encountered are
randomly positioned in hexes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEY POINTS
First thing to take into account are Ley Points (LP for short). You will always
find three LP in one battle. Their colors are:
RED - FIRE
BLUE - WATER
GREEN - WIND
YELLOW - EARTH
Now, what do LP affect? Quite a few things, actually.
- fire and water are opposed to each other, as are wind and earth
- if you're standing in water LP, you take half damage from water attacks
- if you're standing in water LP, you take double damage from fire attacks
- same applies for fire, wind and earth LP
- likewise, if enemy is standing in water LP, and you use a fire attack against
it, you'll score double damage
- some OC are given element properties if you're standing on a respective LP
- Yulie's FA is affected by element properties of LP she's on as well
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HEX OCCUPATION
Single hex can be occupied by up to four chrs or four enemies (some enemies are
very large in size, and as such only one fits in one hex). A combination of say
one enemy and two chrs standing in same hex is not possible.
There are four enemy "sizes", so to speak. They are:
S - small (equals 1)
M - medium (equals 2)
L - large (equals 3)
XL - extra large (equals 4)
So, for example, one hex can be occupied by four S size enemies, or one L size
enemy and one S size enemy; but not one L size enemy and one M size enemy. If
total amount exceeds 4 (note that all of your chrs belong to S size), no more
enemies can enter that hex.
What else does hex occupation mean for you?
- any attack on a hex will affect everybody in it (same applies for both your
chrs and your enemies)
- using an item on a hex will affect everybody in it
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BATTLE NOTICES
As battle progresses, sometimes colored numbers or other notices pop up.
GREEN NUMBER - denotes HP recovery
VIOLET NUMBER - denotes MP recovery
BLOW OUT! / CRITICAL H - instantly destroys the target
NO COUNT! / NO EFFECT! - attack used has no effect on target
BLOCK! - a physical attack on target hex has been blocked
MISS! - physical attack missed the target
- status attempt failed
1HIT!, 2HIT!, 3HIT!... - denotes amount of hits combatant took (proportional
to damage inflicted)
HP loss has interesting approach. According to enemy's weaknesses and
attributes, HP loss has following colors:
GREY NUMBER - denotes HP loss, but the enemy halves it or is resistant to the
damage from attack type you just used
YELLOW NUMBER - enemy is immune to attack type you just used, and instead
absorbs damage as HP recovery
RED NUMBER - denotes HP loss, and the enemy is weak to attack type you just
used (double damage is inflicted)
WHITE NUMBER - denotes HP loss, and the enemy takes normal damage from attack
type you just used
Regarding types of attacks, here are the battle icons used:
SQUARE - physical attack, ATK and ATP govern the damage inflicted
- can indicate special occurences in battle (e.g. enemy skips the turn)
CIRCLE - magical attack, MAG governs the damage inflicted
HYBRID1 - looks like half-circle, half-square
- most often denotes attacks with elemental affinities
HYBRID2 - looks like half-square, with small crown on top
- denotes usage of FA or Material
DIAMOND - magical attack, attack power of the item governs the damage inflicted
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DETONATION!
When battle starts, you may see one or more of the combatants emit red stars.
This means they're in "Detonation!" mode until end of battle. Basically,
"Detonation!" mode raises all of combatant's attributes, making it a versatile
enemy or powerful ally (depends on who it happens to).
CHR'S "DETONATION!" STATISTIC BONUSES
- ATK +100
- DEF +100
- MAG +100
- RES +100
- HIT +100
- EVA +50
- RFX +100
ENEMY'S "DETONATION!" STATISTIC BONUSES
- ATK +100
- DEF +100
- MAG +100
- RES +100
- HIT +100
- EVA +0
- RFX +50
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXP BONUS RATE
Certain actions during battle award extra EXP to the base [x1,0 EXP] when
battle is over. Here's some of those actions:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACTION | EXP MULTIPLIER
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Killing an enemy | x 0,2
Killing last enemy** | x 0,5
Evade enemy's attack | x 0,1
Counter PPS activates | x 0,1
Defender PPS activates | x 0,1
Magic Defender PPS activates | x 0,1
Finest Art attack | x 0,2

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* NOTE : Hen awards extra [x 0,1] bonus EXP for all actions that cause bonus
EXP to be awarded
** NOTE : You get combined [x 0,7] bonus EXP for offing last enemy (killing an
enemy & killing last enemy = combined bonus)
*** NOTE: Lucky Cards don't stack, so don't waste a second one in same battle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FORCE COMBINATION ARTS
If at least two or more chrs are standing in same hex, they aren't affected by
any negative status changes, and provided that FG is at respective value (see
below), then chrs may randomly learn FCA. You will know so when you'll see
partner chrs engage in small conversation before FCA is learned and added to
their FA battle submenu. All you have left to do is select it and watch the
enemies fly.
- 2P FCA: You need at least 50 FP and correct partner chr standing in same hex
- 3P FCA: You need at least 75 FP and correct partner chrs standing in same hex
- 4P FCA: You need 100 FP and all chrs standing in same hex
There's three 4P FCA you can learn. One can be learned as soon as 4th chr joins
your party, second is learnable in final boss battle only, and for third you
need to gather certain items first.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BATTLE TRAPS
Among your battle items you will also find traps. You can plant these into any
hex that's currently unoccupied and then watch the enemy get blown up or
whatever. Just be careful you don't accidentally forget where you planted it.
Only Yulie and Jude can use them, once they learn Hi-Item PS. There are six
different items, and as such six different traps you can put down on target
hex.
EXPLODER - hex trap which reduces combatant's current HP by 50%
IMPRISONER - hex trap which prevents the combatant from leaving the hex
once entered
RAID CANCELLER - hex trap which prevents the hex from being entered; if
combatant attempts to enter the hex, combatant will be bounced
back and also waste a turn
TELEPORTER - hex trap which teleports combatant to random other hex
MONEY PIT - hex trap which sucks away 10% of combatant's gella
RANDOMIZER - hex trap which triggers death effect; it will cycle between
hexes with alive combatants and when a hex is chosen, kill
everyone in it; if immune, damage is inflicted instead
Only one hex trap can be active at a time. If you use another hex trap on a hex
which has already been trapped, first trap is void.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POST BATTLE CHESTS
Sometimes after battle ends, a chest with an item will appear in one of seven
hexes. If you have a chr in the same hex chest appeared in, contents of the
chest is yours to keep.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENEMY'S ELEMENTAL AFFINITIES
There's five of them:
WEAKNESS - enemy takes double damage
HALVED - enemy halves the damage
RESISTANT - enemy takes no damage
ACTIVE - enemy absorbs damage as HP recovery and stats temporarily increase
NORMAL - enemy takes normal damage
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
11.) ABNORMAL STATUSES - G1100
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Abnormal statuses can be further divided into several categories.
a) negative hex status condition
b) negative hex statistic condition
c) positive hex statistic condition
d) negative combatant status condition
e) special combatant status condition
f) positive combatant status condition
g) Gob statistic condition
Conditions listed under a), b) and c) are in effect for as long as combatant is
standing in affected hex. If combatant moves to another hex, combatant is no
longer under the influence of condition.
Condition listed under d), e) and f) are in effect until you clear them with
respective countermeasures or until battle ends. If combatant moves to another
hex, combatant is still under the influence of condition.
Conditions listed under g) are exclusive to Gob enemies only. Condition
activates once two or more Gob enemies stand together in same hex. Please
review the Bestiary section for more info on which Gobs trigger which
conditions.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12.) ALTER CODE F BONUS - G1200
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
WA4 allows you to start a new game, by loading any save you have made in Wild
Arms: Alter Code F. See "Section 7" for more info on how to load such save.
Here's the stuff you can get by using (completed) Alter Code F (I'll also add
the info on what my completed save contained, and then make necessary changes
at respective points in the guide):
- Level bonus (initial level + <*> Level)
- <*> level bonus is added to initial level of each chr
- <*> equals amount of Sheriff Star/s you have obtained in ACF
- My achievement - 1 (one) Sheriff Star obtained in ACF
- therefore 1 extra level
- Gella bonus (initial money + <*> gella)
- <*> gella bonus is added to initial money at start of the game
- [<*> = amount of killed ACF enemies - number of ACF saves made]
- My achievement - 7367 enemies killed, 331 saves made
- therefore 7036 extra gella
- Item bonus
- Bonus items added to the inventory at start
