Bonuses:
Donate 100 silver to the priests, both in towns and in the wild to unlock various bonuses, such as movies, artwork, and songs.

Use the following trick to unlock the bonuses easily. After getting at least 2,000 silver, save the game. Find a priest and make a 100 silver donation. Keep donating 100 silver until all your silver is gone. Then, pause game play and select the "Exit To Main Menu" option without saving your game. Answer "Yes" when warned that your unsaved chapter progress will be lost. Once at the title screen, enter the "Extras" menu to view the unlocked bonuses. Exit that menu and load your previously saved game. Immediately save the game again. You will still have your silver and the unlocked bonus options.

There is no easy way to get all the bonuses. You must do a set amount of large donations which are listed as follows. The number indicates the number of large donations that must be made with the corresponding bonus that you will get. Note: If you save and leave the game you must redo every donation to get up to the same amount as when you saved.

Easy kills:
After you kill the giant rat in the beginning of the game, go through Houton village and find the puppy in the middle part of the village. Respond nicely and the dog will follow you. As you journey on, the dog will distract enemies, thus making easier kills.

Easy money:

Once you can enter the Fairyhaunt Woods, talk to the hunter. He will tell you that the forest is full of grouse. Buy a bow, shoot one, then talk to the hunter again. He will say that he owns some grounds full of game (actually just grouse). If you have a dog you can easily find grouse. This is a slow but steady way to earn money.

Alternate storyline:
If the puppy joins your party, it changes the story somewhat. For example, when you face The Pet it will crush your dog, killing it. Later when you run into the skull in the dungeon, it says that someone from your past wants to see you again and it brings your undead dog back into your party.

Cow tipping:
While in Huton (the first level), you can go around and find cows. Walk up next to the cow and press X. The Bard will push the cow over, and as soon as you walk off screen the cow will be set up again.

Final choice:
In the final choice, if you have summons out you can ask their advice, unless they do not talk (then the Bard just says "Right").

The Highlander reference:
Talk to the crier in The Tup Pub in West Dounby and agree to be in the talent show. You will get the Boots of "Quickening" as a reward. Read about these boots in the menu to learn that they were made for the Highland warrior Connor McLaihd. This is a reference to Connor McCloud from the Highlander movies. Also, all the other quickening boots have been lost, and the narrator says there surely can be only "one" pair left.

Little Red Riding Hood reference:
Sometimes when you kill a wolf, you will get a red cloak or a picnic basket.

Star Wars reference:
If you choose to be snarky to the elder after defeating Silkbeard, he will say "May the queen of the Sith take you."

Willie Wonka reference:
The "Bad Luck" songs greatly resemble the Umpa Loompa's songs from the original Willie Wonka movie.

You Got Served references:
The Knight summon occasionally says "Thou hast been served".

In the basement of the Scotsman's castle, a group of zombies will have a breakdance contest with a group of skeletons. When the skeletons win, the head one says "You got served", to which the Bard responds "What the hell?!"
