What's the big deal about it? 1) Grab attacks are ''abnormally'' powerful and deal far higher damage than any regular attack being easily able to one-shot most enemies that aren't way above your level even on Hard difficulty. 2) You're fully invincible while performing them. 3) You can easily grab the enemy you tossed again and again. 4) The size of area a grab attack affects depends on the size of the monster, and '''any''' non-boss monster can be grabbed, if you grab a huge monster like Golems and Dragons you can easily throw them and defeat several monsters trying to pile on you. 5) Grab attacks are much easier to use than the clunky Fist ultimate attack and require no weapon skill level to perform and their RP cost quickly becomes negligible.

It can be obtained early on and relatively easily for a boss monster. Plus, it can be rode upon, which temporarily grants the protagonist its stats and defenses (and faster walking speed). It is very powerful monster to have, to say the least.

* Siren, a regular enemy in the game, originally had an absurdly high attack and magic attack (high enough to rival bosses), resisted just about every attack, and players could fill their party with 3 of them. She has since been nerfed in a patch, but is still very powerful, nonetheless. Many players who casually tamed a siren accidentally made the rest of the game a cakewalk without realizing it.
** Monster taming, with enough time and investment, can make the game much, much easier. For example: tame a Red, a fairy rarely found deep in Kelve Volcanic Region, get a few FP and levels with it and Red will crush the Kraken, the next boss, almost effortlessly even on Hard difficulty.
* If Elsje is in the player's party and the player character is low in health, she will throw food at the player character to instantly restore health. If the food misses the player character, then it falls to the ground and can be picked up. These food items include royal curry and other late-game dishes that not only have powerful effects on the player character, but also sell for a lot. Elsje never runs out of food to throw and what she throws is random, so Elsje can be used to farm expensive dishes indefinitely as long as the player character is low on health.
* If the player gifts villagers 5 homemade gifts, they will give a gift in return. Some villagers give better returns than others; Terry can give a random accessory, such as the experience-boosting Heart Pendant, while Darroch will give a hammers, which can include a '''Gigant Hammer+''', which is a ''post-game tier weapon'', leagues stronger than anything you can make yourself before the end of the story. Items such as these can make the early game a breeze. Alternatively, they also sell for a lot in-game currency, which also helps makes the early game easy.
* Magic can be very, very powerful here. Gatling Comet spell is incredibly powerful, hits a very large area and costs very little RP for late game. It allows you to nuke anything that isn't fireproof at safe distances with near impunity and unlike other fire spells you don't have to keep pressing buttons to fire it rapidly.
** The Impact Laser is less powerful, but it's a huge water beam that you can keep firing for as long as you hold the button. This magic allows you to basically snipe enemies from very far and unless it's a "huge" enemy they'll be stunlocked. It also pierces targets, so anything lined up will get hit too and you can readjust your aim after firing it.
* The Wind Cloak is an armor that can be made as early as Kelve Lava Caves: Depths is available. Why is it game breaking? It has almost ''three times'' as much defense as the next armor and far outclasses anything up until stuff you can make post-game. This made more sense in the previous game, when the materials to craft it were correspondingly hard to get, but there's no such balance in this one. Wearing it basically makes you take next to no damage for the rest of Chapter 2.
