Tips and Tricks Guide - Visions Of Mana Walkthrough

If you're just about to start Visions Of Mana, check out these tips and tricks for making your play through that much smoother!

Visions Of Mana has plenty of different mechanics to keep track of, and you can easily miss important details on your first play through that would have made your life a lot easier.

We've compiled some of the most important areas of the game when it comes to exploring, combat and completing the game.

Best Elemental Vessels

In the early game, Elemental Vessels are limited. You unlock all of them by Chapter 5, but some you'll find are more useful than others.

One of the best Elemental Vessels has to be the Undine Flask.

It allows you to shoot out a beam of water, wiping out many enemies at once. If you hold it down to trigger the Elemental Break, it will also cover the arena in water and all mobs will get put into a bubble.

It unlocks in Chapter 2.

The Wood Elemental Vessel will also allow you to summon a Healing Tree that will heal anyone near it over a period of time.

EXP Boosters

Increasing the amount of EXP you get after a battle is a great way to speed up progression. There are several methods:

Items

You can use items like Mythic Cookie to gain 20% extra EXP from battle. It lasts for 10 minutes at a time, so you should pop it right before a big boss battle in order to get that EXP bonus!

If you enter a battle with only 10 seconds remaining on the cookie, it will still give you the 20% EXP after the fight.

Lil Cactus

The Lil Cactus will give you EXP Bonuses depending on the amount of them you find. Check out the Lil Cactus Location guide to find them during your journey.

Valorflies

Like items, these will give you a 100% Bonus EXP rate and can be found wondering maps. They only last for a single minute though.

You can use the same tactic of running into a battle before it expires, as you'll still get the EXP boost.

Ability Seeds

When you first start Visions Of Mana, you can only equip two Ability Seeds at once. However, by expanding your ability slots, you can have up to 10. This will make your character a whole lot stronger, and equipping the right ones can make even the toughest boss fights really simple.

You should first check out Niccolo's Shop. He will allow you to buy Ability Seeds with Niccolo Coins and it unlocks from Chapter 4.

Not only do Ability Seeds increases your damage, they can also unlock special moves for you to use, like summoning and magic attacks.

Some of the best ones:

Weapons and Equipment

You don't need to worry too much about upgrading your equipment in Visions Of Mana. All you have to do is make sure you keep checking vendor shops in new towns you visit and purchasing the latest weapon/armor.

As you progress through the main story, the equipment is slowly upgraded in vendors.

Your Ultimate Weapons are given to your by defeating story bosses in Chapter 10.

Exploration

There are many huge maps in Visions Of Mana, and exploring them will give you plenty of Lucre and Items to use.

Check out our Interactive Game Map for all items in the game.

Spending the time to explore each area will help make the game easier for a few reasons:

• Obtain Elementite Points that can help expand the Elemental Plot
• Obtain plenty of Lucre to buy weapons/armor
• Find Ability Seeds from Treasure Chests, helping boost power

You'll unlock Pikul in Chapter One, which is a mount allowing you to cross maps faster.

When you get to the end chapters, you'll want to go back to maps as more and more quests will be added and you can unlock new Elementites.

Exploration can give you some useful ability seeds early on, making boss fights a bit easier too.
