And as you may know, the 'Table of Contents' is usually there for one purpose. And that is to show the reader (that means you) what the FAQ contains. Use Ctrl + F to find what you are looking for. 1) Introduction to Plates 2) Custom Plates 3) Make Your Own 4) Contact Info 5) Frequently Asked Questions 6) Sites allowed to use this FAQ 7) Special Thanks 8) Legal Stuff ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1) Introduction to Plates] In a game called Steambot Chronicles (otherwise known as 'Ponkotsu Roman Daikatsugeki Bumpy Trot' in Japan), there exists certain special Plates. These are not just ordinary plates, these are plates with a capital 'P'. Yes, they are indeed that special. These Plates aren't the ones you use for eating, these ones have a different purpose. These Plates exist for the sole purpose of being slapped on the front and back ends of a person's Trotmobile (the vehicle you pilot in the game). A person doesn�t need to collect them all in order to finish the game, but for completionists it is a must. There is a total of 30 custom Plates throughout the game. And along with these custom ones, the game gives you 4 empty plates, in which you can use to make a total of 4 plates of your very own. There are a quite a lot of easy-to-obtain custom Plates, as well as some aggravating throw-your-Dualshock 2-at-the-wall ones. This FAQ is here for the purpose to aid its readers on their quest to obtain all of the Plates. I hope it helps and good luck Plate hunters (especially for some of the harder-to-get ones)! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2) Custom Plates] If you�ve read the above introduction (and you should just for the fun of it), you should know that there is a total of 30 Plates to be found in the game. In this section, I will list them as well as some info on them. I'll try to keep it in the order you find them. Here's a list you can use to search for whatever you are looking for: Default Tutorial Hayabusa Sheep K.E. Logo Nefro Metro Merchant Flower Band Logo Saffron Fenn Ruins Eurydika Mine Logo of Love Weary Nun Pablo 7 Sages Blue Bolt Meme Railroad Lorimar Desert Hornets S Rank Quail Tunnel Hot Springs Civ. Army B. Mantis End Logo Death Match Hustler Museum ************************ Name: Default Appearance: A red circle with a red line at its diameter on a white background. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Extremely Easy How-To-Obtain: This is the Plate that your Trotmobile comes equipped with. All you have to do is get on the Trotmobile and it is all yours. ************************ Name: Tutorial Appearance: A picture of pink lips? Missable: Yes Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Surprisingly Difficult How-To-Obtain: This can only be obtained before even the game starts. Confused? You have to choose the option �Tutorial� in the main menu of the game and play through that. The tutorial is fairly easy. That is, until you have to fight Captain Ciboulette. Her Trotmobile is pretty hard to beat, considering that this is just the tutorial. A good strategy I used while fighting her was try to get as close to her as possible while dodging her attacks. Why? Because that way I will have the chance to pick her up and throw her. When thrown, the captain�s Trotmobile will be stunned for a few seconds, this is your chance to dish in a few melee attacks. ************************ Name: Hayabusa Appearance: A picture of a blue bird with its wings out spread. Pretty cool in my opinion. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Easy How-To-Obtain: The Plate is located in the Hayabusa Plateau (obviously). It is the area between Nefroburg and Seagull Beach. You will have to get off your Trotmobile at the entrance of the carpet mill and follow a set of stairs just ahead of the parking cone. The stairs will lead you to a small set of benches. On one of the benches, there will be a mechanic sitting there. Talk to him and ask him about Trotmobiles, then Customization, and finally Plates. ************************ Name: Sheep Appearance: As its name implies, it is a picture of a sheep. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Easy How-To-Obtain: The Plate is located at Vision Ranch. Talk to the man inside the sheep farm. Buy some of his goods and he will give you the Plate. Keep in mind that this man won�t be selling his goods during the night. ************************ Name: K.E. Logo Appearance: A picture of a purple elephant, the logo of the Killer Elephants gang. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Easy How-To-Obtain: This Plate will be given to you during the course of the story. You will have to join the Killer Elephants first in order for them to give it to you. First, go to the Aphrodite Bar underneath the Siberian Musk Hotel and talk to the cheerful K.E. gang member, he is the one sitting closest to the piano. He will give you a employment form if you answer correctly. Then, during the event of the Killer Elephants takeover of Nefroburg, go talk to the man with a cane next to the museum. He will ask you a series of questions, then give you the Plate. ************************ Name: Nefro Metro Appearance: It�s a yellow plate with a picture of a bus. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Easy How-To-Obtain: During the story, you will be forced to take Connie to Happy Garland. As you head to the Sabbia Desert, the Bus Company President will stop you and give you this Plate. ************************ Name: Merchant Appearance: It�s a picture of a brown bag of gold. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Easy How-To-Obtain: This is also obtained during story events. As you exit Fort Raven, you will be stopped by Delson. He will give you the Plate in order for you to escort the merchants through the Sabbia Desert. ************************ Name: Flower Appearance: A picture of flowers, what more can I say? Missable: Possibly Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Medium How-To-Obtain: In order to get this one, you first have to have access to the Honeybee Gardens. The Honeybee Gardens is in the Pantano Swampland area, which is to your right as you take the Sabbia Desert Exit in Nefroburg. So first, go to the abandoned house located at Zibala Hill. Speak to the Flora and then go upstairs to the balcony. Examine the flowers up there and then return to Flora. Speak to her again and you will be given a choice. Tell her that her flowers are dead. Also, speak to the nun there and say that you are NOT the owner or else you'll be pretty much screwed in getting this Plate. Next, equip your Trotmobile with a Tank back part. Traverse to the Honeybee Gardens, depending on whether or not you've been there and whether if you've been to Fort Raven, you will forced to fight Dudley. Talk to the daughter of the beekeeper there. You will be given the choice to tell her about Flora, do so and she will want you to deliver seeds to her. While you are there, grab some Spring Water at the corner of the garden. Return to the abandoned house at Zibala Hill and give Flora the seeds. Go to a nearby resting place (I recommend the mechanic besides the entrance to Nefroburg) and rest till the next morning. Return to the orphanage and donate Spring Water by speaking to the nun. Then go back to rest, sleep for a few days to past the time. Go back to the orphanage and speak to Flora, she will give you a letter for the Beekeeper's daughter. Give that letter to the Beekeeper's daughter and she will want you to give Flora a letter as well. "Donate" the response letter and rest for another day. Return to the Honeybee Gardens and speak to Flora there. Finally, after that massive fetch quest you will be rewarded with the Plate. ************************ Name: Band Logo Appearance: It's the one on the Trotmobile on the front cover of the game case. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Easy How-To-Obtain: Here's another one given to you automatically during the story. You get it after playing with the Garland Globetrotter's in the Lobster Inn for the first time. ************************ Name: Saffron Appearance: It's a picture of a purple mask not unlike the one Saffron at the Happy Garland Arena wears. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Medium How-To-Obtain: During the day in Happy Garland, you may sometimes see the Friendly Woman whom wanders around the GTW Factory. Speak to her. Then during the night, enter the Happy Garland Arena. Go upstairs and speak to Saffron, she is an arena fighter that wears all purple and a mask. Next, walk up to the receptionist and battle an arena fighter there or bet on a match. This will enable the tournament to end. When you leave the arena, you should see the Friendly Woman leaving the place as well. Follow her to a beaten down shack in the GTW Factory. When she stops at the door, go and speak to her. Now, you will have to enter a name. Enter the name 'Saffron' and she will let you in her home. Go down the ladder in the single room and you will get a cutscene along with a Mask Grill. Now you will have to rest till the morning. During the next morning, enter the shack again and then go downstairs via the ladder. Another scene will occur here. After that, leave the basement and you will see Saffron waiting for you. She will give you her Plate. ************************ Name: Fenn Ruins Appearance: It kinda looks like the face of one of those Mayan Statues. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Not-that-hard-just-tedious How-To-Obtain: Okay, this is going to take you awhile to obtain. I hope you like deep dark similar looking hallways, because that is what you'll be seeing for quite awhile. But this is worth it, because you will be doing three tasks at the same time! The ruins contain some artifacts for the museum, you need those for the Museum Plate. It also has gems, you need these for the Desert Hornets Plate. And you are obviously here for the Fenn Ruins Plate. The ruins are located at Fort Raven. To get this one, you will have to clear the dungeon many times. The artifacts are located in the treasure boxes. You will be seeing a lot of Moldy Bread and Rotten Meat after a while of dungeon crawling, so get used to it. It took me about 25 level 3 dungeon runs before I found the Plate. Once the dungeon is cleaned out of all its artifacts, you will have to find its Plate in one of the treasure boxes. Be sure to scavenge the 3rd floor, as that floor seems to yield more artifacts than the others. ************************ Name: Eurydika Mine Appearance: A picture of a pick and a mine cart. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Not-that-hard-just-tedious-like-the-ruins How-To-Obtain: Okay, this is going to take you awhile to obtain. I hope you like deep dark similar looking hallways, because that is what you'll be seeing for quite awhile. But this is worth it, because you will be doing three tasks at the same time! The mine contains some artifacts for the museum, you need those for the Museum Plate. It also has gems, you need these for the Desert Hornets Plate. And you are obviously here for the Eurydika Mine Plate. The mine is located at Eurydika obviously. To get this one, you will have to clear the dungeon many times. The artifacts are located in the treasure boxes. You will be seeing a lot of Moldy Bread and Rotten Meat after a while of dungeon crawling, so get used to it. It took me about 25 level 3 dungeon runs before I found the Plate. Once the dungeon is cleaned out of all its artifacts, you will have to find its Plate in one of the treasure boxes. Be sure to scavenge the 3rd floor, as that floor seems to yield more artifacts than the others. And yes, I this was a slightly modified version of my other paragraph. ************************ Name: Martlett Falls Appearance: It's a waterfall... Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Medium How-To-Obtain: Start at Happy Garland, then head for the Martlett Falls Exit. You will have to get through some enemies and possibly a boss (if you haven't fought it yet). Once you've reached the waterfall, get behind it. Go up the slope to your right and the path will lead you to a treasure box containing the Plate. ************************ Name: Logo of Love Appearance: A few hearts scattered about on the Plate. Missable: Possibly Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Easy How-To-Obtain: At Happy Garland, you may sometimes see a woman wearing a pink dress wandering the streets near the Lobster Inn at night. Talk to her and she will want you to remember her name, this can be only done before the end of the game. Then after you've seen the ending of the game, speak to her again. Call her by her real name and you will get this Plate (it's Misty by the way). ************************ Name: Weary Nun Appearance: A picture of a weary nun... at least that's what the game description says. Missable: Possibly Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Medium How-To-Obtain: For this one, you will have to get rid of all the kids at the abandoned house. I've already told you how to get rid of Flora in an earlier section, so you have two more to go. You've probably spoken to the nun already and told her that the abandoned house is not yours. Because if you choose to say that the house was yours... Well, I'll have to tell you that your screwed in getting the Plate. So anyways: To find a home for Rick, you would have to have met Don Puccini in Neuhafen first. Speak to Rick first. Then head right over to the Neuhafen Arena. Go upstairs and down a set of stairs next to the pool tables. You will now be in the Don's personal bar. Talk to him and he will give you a letter. Go back to the Zibala Abandoned House and "donate" the letter to Sister Kate. Now to get rid of Robert, you will need to pay a visit to the Happy Garland University. Go to the science department of the school during the day (because the school will be empty during the night, despite someone there saying something about night classes). Speak to the science professor there. Then head to the Abandoned House and talk to Robert. Tell him about the professor's problem and he will solve it. Then go back to the university and speak to the professor again. He will give you an approval letter to give to Robert. "Donate" the letter to Sister Kate and you are finished. Go to the nearest resting place and sleep for the day. During the next morning, go to the house again. If Sister Kate is there, speak to here, then go back to sleep. Then return the morning after that. You will see a letter and a treasure box on the table. Read the letter and you will receive the Plate. The treasure box contains a Donation Box grill part. ************************ Name: Pablo Appearance: A beautiful landscape drawing... Missable: Yes Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Medium How-To-Obtain: You can get this after you beat the game but you cannot as well. In order to have this available after the endgame you will have to give the Urban Times in Happy Garland at least one story. Because if you don't, the offices will become bankrupt in the end, thus screwing up a certain part in Pablo's quest. Now for the quest, first go find Pablo the painter in Nefroburg. He is usually next to the Seagull Beach exit by some trees in the day. Buy both of the paintings he sells you. Then equip your Trotmobile with a carriage. Go to the Nefroburg NW bus stop (the one in the Sabbia Desert Exit) and pick up Pablo. Bring him to Fort Raven. Then head on over to Alcazar de Condor and buy the Desert: Arid Painting from him. Pick him up again and bring him to Happy Garland SW. The bus stop here is pretty hard to find, it is right next to the fence where the mechanic is. Go to Happy Garland and visit the Memorial Park. You will find Pablo around there, buy another painting from him. Next, visit the University and speak to the students there. Some of them will tell you that they don't have an art professor. Go to the Urban Times and speak to Lance, he's the guy across from Betty. Recommend Pablo to him. Then return to the University and go up to the art class. Speak to Pablo there and buy his newest painting. By the way, you can sell his paintings to the guy downstairs (you will get lots of money for them, and the next day you can buy them back for cheap). Now go and rest for the rest of the day. The next day visit the GTW Factory and you will see Pablo sitting by the trash pile, it's across from Saffron's shack. Buy his painting then take the Martlett Falls Exit. You will see Pablo standing by a bus stop there. Take him to the dye farm just up ahead. When you see him in the farm, talk to him and buy another painting. Rest for another day, then revisit the farm. Speak to the lady in the house, then run over to the Kharija Oasis in the Sabbia Desert. Speak to the art dealer there and he will give you a beret and a painting. Go back to the dye farm and speak to the lady in the house again, give her the beret. Rest for a day, then speak to her again. You will receive the Plate. ************************ Name: 7 Sages Appearance: Some weird blue cloud thing... Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Medium How-To-Obtain: To get this one you will have to find and talk to all seven Sages. Here is the list of all of them: 1) The first one is in the Kharija Oasis in the Sabbia Desert. He is in the little house in the back. 2) Go to Martlett Falls and behind it there will be a parking cone. He's in the little hole in the corner. 3) Go to Cuckoo Forest (Eurydika Exit in Happy Garland) and follow the river there. He is in a cave behind the river fall. 4) In Neuhafen, go to the Faro Lighthouse. He's on the top floor. 5) You need at least an A rank in the arena to find this guy. Once you do, go to the Nefroburg Police Station and talk to them about the cave in Egret Brook. Go there, (it is the area where you first fought the Killer Elephants Don Elephant. Enter the cave, and then fight the old man in there. He's pretty hard since the place in small. My advice is to stay far away from him and use the boomerang arm. 6) This guy is in a small island in Lake Luminoso. It is somewhere near Meme Village. 7) To find this guy, you need to find the other 6 Sages. This guy is in the Northeast side of Nefroburg, right next to the canal. You will see two cats sitting by a treasure chest. Talk to the black cat, and feed it so that the Sage will appear. ************************ Name: Blue Bolt Appearance: A blue plate with half a skull on one side and a lightning bolt on the other. Missable: Yes Path-To-Take: Hero or villain, but mostly Hero Difficulty-To-Obtain: Easy How-To-Obtain: You need to talk to Fennel at the Station Hotel in Happy Garland about his music. Then go over to the music store near Lobster Inn and speak to the owner there about the new instrument. Then head on over to the GTW Factory. Take the back door of the City Motors building. Go upstairs and speak to the mechanic. Ask about the new instrument and he'll want 3 things: a guitar, a mini generator, and a mini engine. You can buy the guitar at the music store, and you receive the engine from Ciboulette (that is, if you still haven't chosen the Villain path and joined the Bloody Mantis). The generator is right outside of Neuhafen. Speak to the man by the river and he will want you to rid the river of junk. Throw all of the junk away and speak to him again. He will give you the generator. Now you can give all of the items to the mechanic. He will give you the Electric Guitar. Then speak to Fennel again and give him the guitar, he will give you the Plate after a concert with him. ************************ Name: Meme Railroad Appearance: A purple train on tracks. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Easy How-To-Obtain: First you need to cross Lake Luminoso in Vision Ranch. Meme Village is right across it. Speak to the mayor there and he will want you to deliver a letter to the station master in Nefroburg's train station. Deliver it to the man (he is in the office) and tell him to extend tracks to Meme Village. Now you need to equip your Trotmobile with a flatbed. Get some lumber in the Cuckoo Forest or some Steel Beams in the GTW Factory of Happy Garland. Then head to Vision Ranch. Speak to the workers there working on the tracks, sell them the supplies and then wait for a day. Return to Meme Village and there will be a boulder on the tracks. Get rid of it and then speak to the mayor. He will give you the Plate. ************************ Name: Lorimar Appearance: Some water temple thing overlooking a sea of water. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Not-that-hard-just-tedious-like-the-ruins How-To-Obtain: Okay, this is going to take you awhile to obtain. I hope you like damp dark similar looking hallways, because that is what you'll be seeing for quite awhile. But this is worth it, because you will be doing three tasks at the same time! The temple contains some artifacts for the museum, you need those for the Museum Plate. It also has gems, you need these for the Desert Hornets Plate. And you are obviously here for the Lorimar Plate. The temple is located at Lake Luminoso. To get this one, you will have to clear the dungeon many times. The artifacts are located in the treasure boxes. You will be seeing a lot of Moldy Bread and Rotten Fish after a while of dungeon crawling, so get used to it. It took me about 25 level 3 dungeon runs before I found the Plate. Once the dungeon is cleaned out of all its artifacts, you will have to find its Plate in one of the treasure boxes. Be sure to scavenge the 3rd floor, as that floor seems to yield more artifacts than the others. And yes, I this was a slightly modified version of my other paragraphs. ************************ Name: Desert Hornets Appearance: The Desert Hornets' gang logo. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Medium-Hardish How-To-Obtain: By now, you should have all of the gems after the three dungeons If not, then go back to the dungeons and get all 12 gems. Remember that each dungeon has 4 different types of gems. After you've gotten them all go to the Desert Hornets' base in the Sabbia Desert. Go to Nora, she should be on the second floor of the building. Then give her all 12 gems. After this, she would give you the Plate and access to her room. ************************ Name: S Rank Appearance: An 'S'. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Medium How-To-Obtain: This one is pretty simple. All you have to do is get an 'S' Rank in the Arena. Or you can beat the UTC Tournament. ************************ Name: Quail Tunnel Appearance: A mountain with a trail going through it. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Easy How-To-Obtain: Visit the Happy Garland Police Station. If you can do this quest, the game will give you the 'Ask about the Quail Tunnel incident' when you talk to the cop behind the desk. Choose this, then head over to the H. Garland Station. Speak to the stationmaster there, in the office. Then once you are ready speak to the man next door, he is standing next to a few construction Trotmobiles. Then you will be sent to the Tunnel. Here, you have to fight a boss. This boss should be easy since when you are running low on health you can examine the cart you used to enter the Tunnel in order to refill your bars. After you've beaten the Steam Village boss you will be rewarded with the Plate. Note: I believe that this is also part of the Villain side of the story. ************************ Name: Hot Springs Appearance: An outline of a hot spring with lines that resemble vapors. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Easy How-To-Obtain: To get this you first have to get the mission where you transport Mallow from Neuhafen to Eurydika. Once there you will fight Dudley, and he will accidentally uncover some hot springs in the back of town after the battle. Talk to the Gold Miner standing besides the springs and speak to him until he decides to make a resort. He will tell you to get some lumber, so go to Cuckoo Forest and buy some from the man in the Trot (he is in an area nearby the group of Triclops). Once you've given the man some lumber he will give you the Plate. If you are going through the Villain Path, you have to finish the game first. Then, if you visit Eurydika, you will see Dudley waiting for you. Talk to him to start the battle. ************************ Name: Civ. Army Appearance: A silhouette of a bird with the letter 'C' at the bottom of the Plate. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Easy How-To-Obtain: This one is given to you during the story, so all you have to do is follow the Hero Path to get it. You can also get this after you beat the game, that is if you joined the Bloody Mantis. Just visit the ex-base of the Bloody Mantis at Fashion Poseur and talk to the bartender, you will be given the option to buy the Plate if you don't have it already. ************************ Name: B. Mantis Appearance: The logo of the Black Mantis gang. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Easy How-To-Obtain: There are two ways to get this one.

NOTHING ELSE IS NEEDED! ************************ Name: Death Match Appearance: A picture of a sword and a Trot arm making an 'X' sign.

The ones available in the other path will be unlocked once you've beaten the game. Just be sure that you fight Connie once you meet her at Seagull Beach (THIS IS YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO FIGHT HER!) Then save your game and exit to the Main Screen. Choose the 'Battle Mode' option and then load your file. Next, choose the 'Death Match' option. You will have to fight all 32 fighters in one go in order to get this Plate, good luck! ************************ Name: Hustler Appearance: A golden emblem at the bottom with 9 dots that are supposed to represent balls. Missable: No Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty-To-Obtain: Hard How-To-Obtain: Find all of the billiard players and face them in a match of 9-Balls (LAWL). If you chose the Hero Path, Savory and Dandelion will be unlocked automatically. After playing all of the players, save and exit the game. In the Main Screen choose the 'Billiards' option and load your game. Play the tournament mode and beat all 5 players. You cannot lose or else you have to start all over... ************************ Name: Museum Appearance: (This will soon be updated) Missable: Yes? Path-To-Take: Hero or Villain Difficulty: Hard How-To-Obtain: You have to find all artifacts and donate them to Belmond in Nefroburg's Museum to get this one. There are 2 types of stratums in the game. You have you have a flatbed in order to carry the fossils you find. And a Wide Flatbed for the bigger fossils. There are small stratums in Wagtail Canyon, and later in the game (after the Millamotive boss) there will be big stratums. And behind Martlett Falls there are also these two types of stratums, each beside the archaeologists. And then there are the artifacts in the 3 dungeons. NOTE: Apparently there is a glitch that causes certain artifacts disappear. And there is another one I've experienced that causes Belmondo to not give you the Plate at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [3) Make Your Own] If you've read the manual for the game you should know that you can make your own personal Plates. There are up to 4 Plates you can make. The game provides you with a canvas made up of squares. It's kind of like pixel art. So if you've ever drawn a sprite you should know what to expect. Although the number of colors available is somewhat limited. Here are some tips you should follow (but don't need to, just my recommendations): - Find the center of the canvas before you start, it makes it a lot easier for you to choose where you want to place you drawing. - Make a rough draft of it using a dark color before you start coloring it. - Once you are done with the rough draft, you should outline it using a lighter or darker version of the drawings main color. It makes the drawing stand out more. At least, that's what I do... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [4) Contact Info] If you find any mistakes (or just want to comment on how well it was written) in this FAQ feel free to contact me at [email protected].
