Cheats & Guides

SoulCalibur III Cheats For PlayStation 2

  1. Unlock Weapons in Tutorial Mode

    Completing every training session in tutorial mode will unlock a weapon for the character used and add it directly to your inventory when you leave the tutorial. This can be repeated for all characters except custom characters and bonus characters.

  2. Extra Color Edit

    Go to the Standard Character Color Edit and select a female character (or certain male characters). Select any weapon and when the screen fades to black, press and hold L1+L2+R1+R2. You should hear a sound confirming the entry has worked once the screen returns. Now you can edit the color on a fourth article of clothing. This only works with some outfits on some characters only.

  3. Money Glitch

    Go to the Chronicles of the Sword and lose. Save and exit, buy stuff at the shops but do not save. Then go back to the Chronicles of the Sword and lose again. Every time that this is done, you should notice that the money counter should be the same even before you went to the shop. Handy for getting all weapons.

  4. Choose Victory Animation

    After winning a round and you see the replay showing, pressing each button( [X], [O], etc...) will result in a different victory animation and speech. This also works when the opponent wins.

  5. Character Dialogue Before Fight

    When you have selected your character to fight with (in any mode where it shows the 2 combatants face to face) and the loading scene appears, press any button for your character to say something. You can only do this once per load.

  6. Unlock VS Special

    Play 418 Battles in either VS Standard or VS Competition. Alternately, by unlocking the Lakeside Arena (No cage), Egyptian Temple (Cage), and Grand Labyrinth (All 3 forms), you can unlock it. After unlocking it, however, you must buy it from the Item Shop for 60000 gold.

  13. New weapon disciplines for Custom Characters

These disciplines apply from then on to any custom character you have of that class, and give them acess to new weapon types. Here is a list of all weapon disciplines, and what classes are able to use them, and at what level.
    Note: The Swordsmaster Class automatically gets all Weapon Disciplines that are available to custom characters, but does not get the Soul of (Character) Disciplines.
