If I really, really, absurdly wish to have this Zodia Spear, I think I'll simply borrow a Gameshark and make it mine via that method.

I can't be bothered to consult a guide for every smurfing time I see a treasure chest. Chests are made to be opened, as such, I will.

Additionally, it's only one weapon, and later in the game, it's better to have other things equiped than mass power. If you're goinig to fill your hands with a weapon, it's best to have it be a Ninja Sword or Katana anyways, seeing as the damage cap is 9999 per hit. I like seeing numerous 4999's rather than one 9999 float above an enemy's head.


I'll play through the game numerous times, but I am not about to worry about certain chests in the game.
