Dark Cloud (NTSC-U) Major Glitch - Skip To The Credits Before Dran
WARNING - BACK UP YOUR DC SAVES TO ANOTHER MEMORY CARD BEFORE TRYING THIS. THIS WILL CORRUPT ALL YOUR DC SAVE FILES IF DONE INCORRECTLY.
Nearly 3 years after I found the Glitch Menu, I have finally found a credits warp before facing Dran. A game that usually takes several hours to reach the credits at a fast pace can now be "beaten" in under 20 minutes. With the method I used, if you change the Fire stat of your Synthsphere to other values, you can go to even more places. There's a link below for every possible value.
This method of the glitch only works on the NTSC-U (North American) version of the game. Skipping to the credits is also possible in the PAL version.
If you attempt this glitch and you get a normal invisible item or a Freeze instead of the glitch menu, try this link. It is the only method I know that works for this particular glitch menu item (For some people).

As stated in the video, the Value 00 00 00 33 takes you directly to the Credits. For a list of all known places you can go in Dark Cloud, use this link:

The only drawback is that you become stuck at the credits, and the Demon Shaft isn't unlocked like the game said it was. So if you wanted to unlock the Demon Shaft like this, you can't.
