Secret Games: BOX GAME Finish the game and save after the credits roll. Leave the Tower and return to the world map. There will be a new location called 'Box Game'. There are three new options available: Ancient Valley: Essentially a time-attack 'race' through the valley at the beginning of the game. Dermot's Ranch: A very weird option where you control the baby Khouriat from Panzer Zwei. 'Talk' to other baby Khouriats and your own dragon as well. Fleet On The Lake: Destroy as many floodlights and enemy vessels as you can within the time allowed. Retroactive Easter Egg If you have Panzer Dragoon Zwei but never managed to open all the options in Pandra's Box, you can access all of them if you have a completed game saved from Panzer Dragoon Saga. Now you'll have the entire canon of secrets at your disposal. Compilation of hints from Sega's website: When Edge and the dragon are fighting, be sure to monitor their Hit Points (HP) and Berserk Points (BP) as they decrease. Be ready to use an Elixir or Berserk power-up or cast a healing spell to restore them when necessary. Try to have at least one of each type of healing remedy in your inventory. Don’t forget to keep enough Berserk Recovery items, such as Berserk Micro, Berserk Minor or Berserk Maxis, in your inventory to restore your character’s BP when it starts to get low. Speak to all of the people in the caravan, the town and at your campsite to receive valuable information. They will usually tell you where you need to go or what you need to accomplish next. While stopping at the caravan, always speak to the Nomad leader, An’jou, for information. While in the town of Zoah talk to Juba, the barkeeper, or Paet, the mechanic. Abner, the gatekeeper, is helpful to talk with because he gives you directions to specific places in the town. He can be found at his post outside the gate leading to the Holy District. Pay close attention to an enemy’s attack patterns and timing when you first encounter a new type of opponent. Knowing when an enemy will most likely attack or how long it takes to recharge its weapon gives you an excellent advantage over your opponent. Try to move to the safe sectors (the green areas shown on the Dragon Radar display) just as an enemy is about to attack. This allows you to stay in the area where you probably won’t get hit. When in battle, use the Berserk Defense spells "Vengeance Orbs" or "Shield" to protect your dragon against enemy attacks. The Vengeance Orbs are especially good to use, because they deflect an enemy’s attack and turn it into a counterattack. Constantly monitor your Dragon Radar display, because the color of the display screen will change when there is danger in your immediate area. The colors will shift from blue (in relatively safe areas), to yellow (in areas where the danger of an attack increases), and red (when an attack is imminent). The homing laser is very effective when you’re confronted by a large number of enemies, because it can track and lock onto more than one enemy at a time, while the gun is great for zeroing in on one enemy’s Weak Point. Make sure you know what each weapon does and how effective it is against a specific enemy or on a large area of an enemy’s body before you rely on it in an important battle.

Every time you're at a camp, make sure you either pet or smile at him. After a while, maybe by disc 3, you're dragon will learn it. Never ignore him, and every time you go to camp, if he's sleeping, wait until morning, pet him, then leave. Submitted by Thomas Wisdom (TWisdom@Concentric.net) Free Dyne When you first go to visit Paet, there should be a man standing in the open area next to where Paet is working on his ship. Talk to him. When you get the pass to the Holy District, and have talked to Vaimen, go to the area behind the church, you'll see the same man from the Liberal District. Talk to him, and he will give you 2,000 Dyne. Submitted by eide@srv.net Funny and Secret Items/Words When in the Village/Town of Zoah you can go to the bar(blue doors)in the Liberal District. At day time or at night, while there, go to the upstairs floor of the bar of illuminating drinks. A table in the lower left-hand section of the room will read "They Killed Kenny" when accessed. This is an obvious joke about the cable show "South Park" that the translators decided to put in. Another secret is in the same village. At night find the well near Paet, The mechanic. When you access the well it will ask if you wish to enter. Go down, you come to an area with a dorr next to the other end of the well. Go in and talk to the boy camping in the well. After a few messages he will give your a ring that someone gave to him. You do not need it so go to the item shop and sell it. You get a lot of money for it so you can stock up on life elixers(life ups) and other necesities. Submitted by Thomas Wisdom (TWisdom@Concentric.net) and Frank Giliberti (Dilbert Q@aol.com) Hidden Uru Levels If you return to the URU UNDERGROUND RUINS, take your dragon to BF2 and fly to the dragon chamber which is located at the top of the map. In front of the chamber door is a hole. You can enter the hole, taking you to level B?F. On this level you will have to leave the dragon and use a floater, but you will be able to go to 4 chambers where you can get armor chip(x3), shield chip(x3), power chip (x3), and speed chip(x3). The only problem is that the only way to get out is to go down the hole at the end of the shaft. the hole takes you to BF3. You will end up going down one path, collect your item, go down the hole to BF3, take the elevator up to BF2, go back down the hole to B?F, switching from the dragon to the floater, and go down another path(I think you'll catch on after that). One path will take you to a hole that leads to B??F. From here you can collect a bone slasher, three dual blast chips, an olfactory lobe, and a beserk maxis. After collecting everything your dragon will need, you can leave to coninue your adventure. Submitted by BrndAce@aol.com and yguevara@snet.net Higher Rewards If you have made it to disk 3, and you have received the pass that gives you acces to the HOLY DISTRICT. Go to the HOLY DISTRICT, and talk to QUITOR reapeatedly. If you have prevously talked to him when he was in the LIBERAL DISTRICT he will give you 200 DYNES as a a type of bribe. You will also be able to buy ZAAL NUTS for 500 DYNES. In addition if you have a MACRAN JEWEL he will offer to buy it for 9,000 DYNES, but turn his first offer down, and he will raise his offer to 10,000 DYNES. If you do not have on of these jewels, one can be found a URU-SUNKEN SOUTHERN RUINS by finding a certain monster called a KOLBA, it is a rare monster, so you will have to fly all over the board untill you can find him. You will have to score a excellant in battle to receive the item though. You will also like how many EXP points you will receive. The location of another rare monster is in the GARIL DESERT (the third stage of the desert) if you continue to fly along and close to the mountain ridge in a big circle for a little while, a rare monster called a SAND MITE will appear. If you score a excellant in battle you will receive 540 EXP points. You can continue to do this to raise your dragons EXP points and finally his level. This can be done as early as DISK 1. Submitted by AGES EL (RESU@concentric.net) John Woo Reference In the caravan town, enter the leader's hut and inspect a pair of pistols laying on a shelf. You will get the message "Inscribed: From Mr. Woo." This is of course a reference to action flick director John Woo, who is known for having characters fight it out with a pistol in each hand in his films. Submitted by Azrael1744@aol.com Many Rewards On disk 3, go to the caravan. You'll hear from Baicah that Enkak is ill, and that he needs a rare cure. Go to Uru and you'll see a bird flying around at the start. Take it to its nest which is west of the entrance to the passage. There are two other birds, one to the south-west of the nest and one to the east of the passage. When all three birds have gotten home safely, the family leaves and you can pick up the cure. Go back to Baicah and he'll buy it for 2000 dynes PLUS will give you 5 speed chips. Near the end of disk 4, when An'jou returns, he'll give you a Berserk Vampire worth 10,000 dynes. On disk 3, in the Holy District, talk to Quitor repeatedly. Not only can you buy Zaal Nuts for a cheat 500 dynes but if you have a Macral Jewel he'll buy it for 9,000 dynes. Also, speak to Rhoda repeatedly, and she'll give you some Zaal Nuts, and if you search the stacks of crops near the entrance of the district you'll find Zaal Harvests which can be sold for a good price. Once you have the Eye Wing dragon (level 4 laser class) go to Shellcoof and unlock all of the pyramids surrounding the ship. Enter it and fly to the Genesis Chamber. Get the Ambrosias and the dragon's crest. You'll get a little dragon. He and the crest are useful later. The dragon will locate items that are out of reach and will collect them, but you must access him to get the items. A good way would be to fly on for about 8 seconds after he has flown off the top of the screen, and then backtrack. If you manage to get a Light Wing dragon (level 6 laser class) return to the Forest of Zoah and go into the Red Ruins. there, go into the central structure and find the ruin without the dragon crest on it. Access it and you will return the crest to its proper place. Not only that, but you'll merge with the little dragon and turn into the Solo Wing dragon. Feel like a speed boost? In the Forest of Zoah, just south of the south-western entrance to the Red Ruins, is a blue stalk. If you collected the Kuo Pollen from the Garil Desert, you can access this and turn it into a golden fruit which lets you fly faster. If you haven't got the Kuo Pollen, go to the Green Oasis and find the ruin which you destroyed to get underground. Access the correct white stalk and it will drop a red ball, which is Kuo Pollen. This also lets you fly at a consant speed if you tap L.

Submitted by dhnd72c@prodigy.com Obtaining the Light Wing Dragon To obtain the Light Wing Dragon (Laser Level 6), you must first free the infant dragon from the Shellcoof Genesis Chamber after mutating to the Eye Wing Dragon (Laser Level 4). Let the story progress until your dragon reaches Laser Level 5 (somewhere near the end of disc 4) and return to the map location, Above the Ruins. Fly your dragon down the left branch of the canyon until you reach the roosting birds and wait until the infant dragon flies off the top of the screen. Fly on a little farther (about 5 seconds or so), and turn around and fly back until you can target the infant dragon. Upon accessing the infant dragon, you will chase him, and the birds around the canyon a couple of times until the birds enter a small, secret cave. Enter the cave to reveal the birds' nest. One of the pyramids in the nest area contains the mutation up to the Light Wing Dragon. Now you can access the crashed ship in the desert area and get a new Special Class berserker spell, as well as replace the Dragon Crest in the Red Ruins to change into the Solo Wing Dragon. Warning: once the Solo Wing Dragon is obtained, you will no longer have access to the infant dragon. So fly around a bit in the other map areas to get the hidden items he helps you find, beforehand.
