Secret Codes: Codes are entered in the "flags" section. The codes are:

OPEN WORLD RELATED
custom                  Use a custom seed for open-world mode
airship                 Start the game with the airship.
bossy                   Very random bosses (unbalanced even with scaling)
fourkeys                Open World, but there are only four keys
blitz                   Allows a faster open world playthrough
sinistrals              Maidens are always guarded by sinistrals. Makes Daos final boss.
last_sinistral          Final boss is always one of the sinistrals. Conflicts with 'sinistrals' code.

OPEN WORLD ENEMY SCALING
scale                   Scale enemy status in open-world mode
noscale                 Do not scale enemies in open-world mode
splitscale              Input custom values for scaling bosses and nonbosses.

CHEATS
easymodo                Every enemy dies in one hit
holiday                 Enemies run from the player

FOR FUN
monstermash             Randomize which monsters appear in dungeons.
nothingpersonnelkid     Extremely aggressive enemies.
nocap                   Disables in-battle capsule swapping
anywhere                Equipment slots are randomized (breaks "Strongest")
music_last_sinistral    Final boss music is sinistrals battle theme.

Randomness: Terror Wave is the first Abyssonym randomizer to include a "randomness" option. This option controls how extreme the randomizations are. At 0.0, almost nothing will be randomized. At 1.0, enemies in the starting area will most likely have boss stats. I suggest leaving it at the default setting of 0.5 for your first run. It is possible to use different settings for different flags. Type "custom" to enable more detailed randomness settings. This is useful, for example, when you want to find high-level gear without fighting high-level enemies.

Output files: The randomizer will output a new, randomized rom with the seed in the filename.
