Unlock Hard Mode

This feature becomes an available option by going to the Shrine in Chapter 1 and entering your name as 'HARD MODE' (case sensitive and without the quotes). In this mode the enemies have more life which makes them tougher to kill.


Rare Weapons

If you like free experience and nice weapons as much as I do, you'll love these.

-Chapter 4: Squawking Sticks have a 5% chance of dropping a very nice weapon for Lucas called the Good Stick. The problem is that this enemy is very annoying because it can summon others by 'chirping'. However, it's totally worth it, because if you get that weapon then, you won't need to get a new weapon for a while.

The Good Stick adds 27 to your Offense.

-Chapter 5: You can get yourself a Friend's Yo-yo if you manage to beat Li'l Miss Marshmallow. Don't underestimate Miss Marshmallow, though;she can be tough to beat if you're caught unprepared. Hopefully, you'll have Saltwater Guns with you, because those really help a lot.

The Friend's Yo-yo will add 20 to your ..


Beating Steel Mechorilla

I have heard that this boss gives some people quite a bit of trouble. I know an easy way of beating it, though, and it goes like this:

1st turn~

Lucas uses PK Sheild[Alpha] on himself

Kumatora(I named her Mercy...very unfitting name) uses Offence Down[Alpha]

Boney uses a Saltwater Gun, if he has one.

2nd turn~

Lucas uses PK Sheild[Alpha] on Kumatora/Mercy

Kumatora/Mercy uses Offence Down again

Boney starts to throw bombs or other explosives.

3rd turn~

Lucas uses Pk Sheild[Alpha] on Boney.

Kumatora/Mercy uses PK Freeze[Alpha], although, if she has it, use Freeze[Beta]

Boney...keeps throwing bombs/other explosives.

***Renew shields if required!

4th turn~

Lucas uses Defenc..


Good weapon at begining

In the 1st chapter, after Flint has escaped from his little jail cell, go to Thomas' Bazaar. Here, you can obtain a valuable weapon for Flint, the strongest weapon in the 1st chapter, for free!

But here's the catch, the odds of it appearing are slim, and if you're not patient, you're going to have some issues. It raises you offense by 20.

But it can be purchased later by Lucas.


Unlimited Thunder Bombs

After the fire in chapter 1 go behind wess's house and you can get a thunder bomb. Then, every time you go to the crossroads the bomb will respawn every time you do so.


Money!!!

Are you in need of some DP?

Are the average enemies just not cutting it for you?

Never fear, for new strategies are here!

You aren't able to gain DP until Chapter 4, but there are some easy and hard ways to gain a hefty amount.

-The secret stash of Thunder Bombs lacated behind Wess' house sell for 25DP

-The "Chick Trick"

-Beating a Top Dogfish, and selling the Meteotite dropped for 2500DP (Located by the ponds in the forest near Titiboo, very rare and difficult to beat)

-Working at the Clayman factory, 200DP per shift

-Defeating a Bright Smile, gaining 2000DP (Located in the highway tunnels, rare)

-Stock up on Doggy Biscuits and sell them to the dog on the highway to recieve bombs, selling for 500DP...each!

I hope this h..


Help with Mecha Drago

Here are a few tips on how to beat Mecha Drago, if you're stuck:

1) Make sure you're at least Level 15.

2) Remember to use the Drago Fang on the first turn! Otherwise, your attacks will only do 1 Damage each.

3) Have lots of healing supplies at the ready.

4) Make sure to use Strengthen up and Toughen Up. They'll help a lot.

5) Make sure to the best posssible equipment possible.

6) When he does his final attack, which does about 200 Damage, PRESS A AS FAST AS YOU CAN! You won't survive otherwise! Meaning if you fail, you must start over! So be warned!

Helpful Level Boosts

There are certain enemies in the game that give an extrodinary amount of experince, though there's always a catch.

In Chapter 1, the rare to see Soot Dumpling gives

1000 EXP. But it's kind of rare to see, as it only appears out of Lighter's house on occassion, only in Chapter 1. It also has a really strong defense, and within a few turns, it blows away!

Another enemie in Chapter 1 is the rare Beanling, located in the Sunshine forest. It gives 538 EXP, but it also packs a bit of a fight, so be prepared.

In Chapter 4, the so very rare Black Beanling makes a return in the Sunshine Forest. This guy is very hard to find, but gives 16080 EXP! But it also packs a punch...

Also in Chapter 4, the Top Dogfish, located by the lakes near Club Titiboo, also has ..


The Black Beanling Trick

So the Black Beanling itself has an insane amount of experience...16080 EXP!

But during Chapter 7, you'll be able to purchase Enemy Bufferizers, and though it makes the enemy stronger, it also doubles the EXP!

So, hunt down some of those Black Beanlings and...

You have an amazing EXP boost! If you have the patience, hunt a bunch of them down and soar through the game easy!


Feeling EGGstatic?

Any time after Chapter 3, after coming down the rail road, there's a hot spring located near the left of the Chimera Lab.

By this hot spring, a chicken is hanging around. Talk to her, and she'll give you a free egg!

Once this egg becomes, "something else," talk to her again and she'll give you another.

This is a helpful hint in many ways...


Secrets of the Eggs

There are many things eggs can do.

For starts, you can make a profit.

If you wait for it to hatch into a chick, you can sell the chick for 50DP.

A little longer, it'll grow into a chicken, which sells for 200DP!

Taking an egg into a hot springs, (hint, hint) will turn it into a Hot Springs Egg, which will sell for 30DP...

But it also can recover your Health 100HP!

Amazing!
