Mother 3
Walkthrough/Strategy Guide
NOTE 1: A fan translation of the entire game is available at starmen.net. You
will need a ROM copy of the game and an emulator to use the
translation. Item and character names in this guide have been changed
to match starmen.net's translation as shown in their walkthrough in
order to make this guide easier to search.
NOTE 2: To view Japanese text in this guide, change the encoding of your
browser to Shift-JIS. You can do this in both Internet Explorer 8 and
Firefox 3 by going to the "view" menu. I don't use much Japanese, but
it might be easier to search for information if you're familiar with
the language.

*******************************************************************************
I.Introduction
*******************************************************************************
This guide was written to help those who know little Japanese get through the
game and understand what's going on. The storyline is explained through
translations of some of the more important or interesting text in the game,
along with my own (admittedly boring) explanations. Translations of names,
menus, and abilities are also given.
This guide also provides strategies on how to defeat enemies and step by step
instructions on how to progress. Please keep in mind I do not know every
secret in the game, and I may have left out a few rare items or enemies in the
guide (I will add them as I find out about them).
*******************************************************************************
II.How to Use This Guide
*******************************************************************************
1.If You Don't Know Japanese
a)"Yes" and "no"
The game will prompt you to answer "yes" or "no" numerous times. In all
cases, "yes" appears on the left, "no" on the right:
>Yes >No
>�͂� >������
b)Menu Translations
Translations and descriptions of different menu screens are provided in the
following sections of the guide:
FILE SELECT SCREEN: "2.Saving and Loading"
NEW GAME SET UP MENUS: "V.Set Up"
NAMING SCREEN: "3.Naming Characters"
MAIN MENU: "4.Main Menu"
BATTLE MENU: "5.Battle System"
PSI/SPECIAL ABILITIES MENU: "1.Party Members"
SHOPPING SCREEN: "6.Money and Shopping"
MONEY WITHDRAW/DEPOSIT: "6.Money and Shopping"
ITEM STORAGE SCREEN: "7.Item Storage"
Use your browser's search tool (usually CTRL + f) to jump to a section.
c)PSI Moves and Special Abilities
Check the section "1.Party Members" for a translation of each party
member's special abilities list shown in battle. PSI moves that are not
learned will not appear on the in-game list, but the relative ordering of
the moves will be the same.
Also, whenever I mention a PSI move in the guide, I show its PP cost. Not
all PSI moves require different amounts of PP, but hopefully you can find
the ability in the game by looking at the amount of PP required.
d)Items
Press SELECT while in someone's inventory in battle to see a picture of
each item. Starmen.net's walkthrough gives a screenshot of each item to let
you see what they look like. I give short descriptions of each item's
appearance in this guide as well, though text is not as easy to understand
as a picture.
e)Townspeople
The residents of the main village in Mother 3 have unique names and
appearances. If you need help in identifying townspeople, see the section
"XV.Townspeople" for names and descriptions of each character.
2.Searching for Information
Use your browser's search tool (usually CTRL + f) to look for whatever you
need.
Each section of the walkthrough (e.g."1.Fire!", "2.Search and Rescue," etc.)
is divided into the following parts:
OUTLINE
ITEMS
STORES
GIFT BOXES
ENEMIES
WALKTHROUGH
Check the OUTLINE if you are stuck and just want to know how to get through
the game.
The ITEMS section provides descriptions of helpful or important items.
See STORES to see what items are being sold by each vendor in the area.
Search GIFT BOXES to see a list of items found in gift boxes in the area.
See the ENEMIES section for information on each enemy's attacks and
strategies on how to beat them. If you know Japanese, you can search for the
Japanese name (hiragana/katakana or romaji) using your browser.
Read the WALKTHROUGH for more detailed explanations on how to get through the
game.
*******************************************************************************
III.Game Basics
*******************************************************************************
1.Controls
CONTROL PAD: move your characters on the field; cycle through menu options
A-BUTTON: talk to people or examine objects on the field; select menu
options
B-BUTTON: dash (hold and release); advance dialogue; select "no" when
asked a question; cancel or go back to a previous menu selection
L-BUTTON: talk to people or examine objects on the field; select an action
in battle; scroll through party members in menus outside of
battle
R-BUTTON: view a map of the area (if obtained); scroll through party
members in menus
START: open the main menu on the field
SELECT: show how much HP/PP your party has on the field; toggle menu
descriptions (press this button while in your inventory screen
during battle to see what each item looks like)
2.Saving and Loading
Saving is done by talking to the little frogs found in various places
throughout the game:
"*Boing*
Would you like to save?
>Yes >No"
Choose "Yes" and select a file to save. If a previous save is already
written on a file, the game will ask if you want to overwrite. Select
"yes" to do so.
To load a game, select "load" at the title screen and select your file.
The following menu will pop up:
>Start Game
>Erase Data
>Copy Data
>Message Speed
>Window Color
Select "Start Game" to load.
"Erase Data" will erase a file . "Copy Data" will copy one file into the
other; if there is a save on the other file, you will be asked for
confirmation twice.
When you select "Message Speed," the following menu will appear:
>Fast
>Normal
>Slow
The "Window Color" menu appears as follows:
>Plain
>Mint
>Strawberry
>Banana
>Nuts
>Grape
>Melon
3.Naming Characters
When you start a "New Game" or whenever you meet a new party member, you
will be prompted to name your characters. The options at the bottom of the
naming screen are as follows:
DON'T CARE | HIRAGANA | KATAKANA | ABC | BACK | END
If you can't read Japanese and want to use Latin letters, select the "ABC"
option. The "Don't Care" option fills in the default name, "back" erases a
letter, and "end" will confirm. Hiragana and Katakana refer to the two
Japanese alphabets.
4.Main Menu
Press START outside of battle and 4 or 5 icons will appear at the top of
the screen. This is the main menu, and the icons are as follows:
GOODS | EQUIP | PSI | STATUS | SLEEP
The PSI icon appears later in the game, as will a counter showing how much
money (DP) your party has.
a)Goods
(Icon looks like a bag)
Select this icon to go into your party's inventory. Each party member
can carry up to 16 items, including equipped weapons and armor. To
scroll through each person's inventory, press the R or L button. At the
top of the screen, you will see each party member's face and a key icon.
Select the key icon to view any important or "key" items you have. These
items cannot be sold or thrown away and do not take up inventory space.
When you select an item with the A button, three options will appear:
"Use"
"Give"
"Throw Away"
Select the "give" option to transfer an item to another party member's
inventory and the "throw away" option to discard an item (not all items
can be thrown away). Note that discarded items cannot be retrieved.
b)Equip
(Icon looks like a bat or a club)
Select this icon to enter the equipment screen. Here you can equip
weapons and armor to boost your party members' stats. You can also view
each party member's stats and what is currently equipped:
[char. name] | [weapon]
[level] |
[max HP] | [body armor]
[max PP] |
[Offense] | [head gear]
[Defense] |
[IQ] | [other armor]
[Speed] |
Use the control pad to select either "weapon" or a type of armor and
press the A button to view which items the character can equip. An item
must be in the character's inventory in order to be equipped. Use the
control pad to view each item and how it will affect the character's
stats on the left side of the screen. You can also remove an equipped
item if you want to do so.
c)PSI
(Icon resembles cross hairs)
This icon will appear when you have a party member that can use PSI.
Select this icon to view what PSI abilities your party member(s) have
or to use recovery PSI moves to heal your party. The two PSI moves you
can use from this screen are Lifeup (recovers HP) and Healing (heals
status effects), with Lifeup always at the top of the list.
d)Status
(Icon is a silhouette of a person)
Select this icon to view your party members' stats, experience points,
and equipped items:
[char. name]
[level] [current HP]
[Offense] [current PP]
[Defense] [weapon]
[IQ] [body armor]
[Speed] [headgear]
[experience pts.] [other armor]
[ex. pts. for next level] [special ability]
Offense determines how much damage is inflicted by a character's
physical attacks. The higher the value, the more damage is inflicted.
Defense determines how much damage a character receives from physical
attacks.
IQ acts as both Offense and Defense for PSI attacks. Characters with
higher IQ will inflict more damage with their PSI attacks and receive
less damage from attacks made on them. The effect of IQ is very small,
however, and is barely noticeable.
Speed determines the order of turns in battle, with faster characters
generally making their moves earlier than slower characters.
e)Sleep
(Icon is two Z's)
Select this icon to put your Game Boy Advance into sleep mode.
5.Battle System
The battle system in Mother 3 is pretty much a standard turn-based battle
system with a few twists. Battles begin when you make contact with an
enemy. If you meet each other face to face, the screen will turn blue and
battle will begin normally. If you touch the enemy from behind, however,
the screen will turn green and you will get one free round to attack the
enemy or run away. If the enemy touches you from behind, the screen will
turn red and the enemy will get a free attack. Note that if you lose a
battle, you will lose half of the money the party was carrying.
There are five icons at the top of the battle screen:
BASH | GOODS | PSI/SPECIAL ABILITIES | DEFEND | RUN AWAY
a)Bash
(Icon is a musical note)
This is each party member's standard attack. With this attack, you can
take advantage of the "Sound Battle" system and pull off combos by
rhythmically tapping the A button in time with the background music.
Each time you press the A button, your character will make an additional
attack, and with good timing you can get a maximum of 16 hits. This is a
powerful technique that can sometimes double or even triple the amount
of damage you inflict.
There are some things you can do in the game to help you learn the
rhythm of each song. If you put an enemy to sleep (by PSI or a special
ability), you will be able to explicitly hear the rhythm of the sleeping
enemy. You can also practice fighting an enemy at any time with an item
called the Battle Memory. This item can be obtained in Chapter 2, and it
allows you to view and battle any enemy you have encountered in the
game. Practicing with the Battle Memory is safe and easy, since you will
not be attacked and you can fight for as long as you want.
Some songs have irregular rhythms, although most of them don't appear
until the middle part of the game. These songs can have parts where the
rhythm speeds up or slows down, parts where you should not tap the A
button at all, or have rhythms that are just plain weird. Using the
Battle Memory and putting enemies to sleep is the best way to learn the
rhythms for these songs.
b)Goods
(Icon looks like a bag)
Select this icon to have a character use an item from his or her
inventory. Press the SELECT button while in the inventory screen to see
what each item looks like along with a short description.
c)PSI/Special Abilities
(Icon resembles cross hairs)
Select this icon to have a character use a PSI move or a special
ability. For a list and explanation of each character's special moves--
as well as a translation of the special abilities menu that appears in
battle--see the "Party Members" section below.
d)Defend
(Icon is a red cross)
Select this option if you want a party member to spend a round
defending. This will reduce damage inflicted by physical attacks by half
and slow down the descent of the HP counter. Note that the damage
reduction does not work on some enemy attacks and any PSI attack.
e)Run Away
(Icon is an arrow pointing down)
Select this option to get out of a battle. This option should only be
used as a last resort when in a dangerous situation or if you don't feel
like fighting. You are not guaranteed to succeed in running away from a
battle unless you approach an enemy from behind, and you cannot run away
at all from boss battles and other important fights.
Some enemies will occasionally drop an item when defeated. If any party
member has space in his or her inventory, the dropped item will be picked
up automatically. If everyone's inventory is full, the game will ask if
you want to throw anything away:
"Will you throw something away?
>Throw away >Don't throw away
Throw away:
| [Choose a party member's inventory]
| [Select an item to discard; press B twice to cancel (go to "Don't
| throw away"]
| [Select "yes" to confirm; selecting "no" is the same as selecting
"Don't throw away"]
Don't throw away:
| Then, will you leave the item behind?
| >Yes >No
Yes:
| [End the battle]
No:
| [Go back to first question]"
6.Money and Shopping
Money will become available at the beginning of Chapter 4 in the form of
"DP." DP is earned by defeating enemies and withdrawn by talking to the
little frogs that save your game:
"*Boing*
Do you need something?
>Yes >No
Would you like to save or would you like a DP transaction?
>Save >DP Transaction"
Select "Yes" and "DP Transaction" to open the DP withdraw/deposit window.
This works almost exactly like an ATM. The top number is the amount of DP
in your deposit, the middle number is the amount you want to transfer, and
the bottom number is the amount the party is carrying. The top two tabs
indicate whether you are depositing or withdrawing: the left tab is for
deposits, and the right tab is for withdrawals. Use the control pad to set
the amount of DP you want to transfer.
DP is used for buying and selling items. When you talk to a salesperson,
you will be taken to the shopping screen. The three options on the left
are:
"Buy"
"Sell"
"Quit"
To make a purchase, select "buy" and choose which party member you want to
buy goods for. A list of items on sale and their prices will appear on the
right. If something is grayed out, it either means you do not have enough
money to buy the item, or the selected party member's inventory is full.
Scroll through the list with the control pad and press the A button twice
to buy. Press the L or R button to select different party members, or
press B to go back to a previous menu.
When selecting weapons or armor, the top of the screen will indicate which
party member can equip the item with an "OK" sign and an "Up" or "Down"
to indicate whether that item will increase or decrease the character's
stats. When you buy the item, you will have the option to equip the item
on the selected party member right away. If you do so, you will then be
given the option to sell the previously equipped item. In most cases you
will probably want to sell, though there are a few items you can only get
in limited quantities and may want to hold on to.
Selling works in a similar way to buying, only you choose which item you
want to sell from your inventory, and grayed out items are those that
can't be sold. Press the B button or select "quit" to stop shopping.
7.Item Storage
Starting from Chapter 4, you will be able to meet a man wearing a beanie
and standing next to a blue cart. This man can be found in various places
throughout the game, and he will store your items for free.
When you talk to him, you will be taken to the item storage screen. The
three options on the left are:
"Store"
"Withdraw"
"Quit"
To store an item, select "Store" and choose a party member's inventory.
Scroll through your items with the control pad and press the A button to
store. Press the L or R button to choose a different party member, or
press the B button to return to a previous menu.
Withdrawing items works in a similar way, only you can see which items are
currently in storage and you can select which item to take out. Press the
B button or select "quit" to exit.
8.Hot Springs
Hot Springs are found in various places throughout the game and can
completely recover your party. Enter a hot spring and stay in there for
about 7 seconds. The party will recover all their HP/PP and be cured of
most status effects. Sleeping on sofas or on some beds or entering an
"Amazing Capsule" (aka Instant Revitalizing Machine in EarthBound) will
have the same effect.
*******************************************************************************
IV.General Information
*******************************************************************************
1.Party Members
a)Lucas
�����J (Ruka)
"The younger twin brother
He's a nice boy"
The first character you control in the game is the main character. Lucas is
the son of Flint and Hinawa and is a bit of a momma's boy. He has high
Offense and IQ, good Defense, and moderate Speed, and his weapons of choice
are sticks, staffs, and bats. His special ability is PSI, which he learns a
little later in the game.
Lucas's high Offense makes him a good physical attacker, and pulling off
high combos with him can often inflict heavy damage (sometimes more than
his PSI attacks). In terms of PSI, however, he is more of a defensive
character, since he only has two directly offensive PSI moves and
everything else targets the party. His Lifeup is almost essential later in
the game, and his shielding and stat boosting moves can greatly help the
party survive battles. For these reasons, I recommend you have Lucas focus
mostly on defense in boss battles and rely on his standard attack when he's
not protecting the party. His PSI attacks (PK Love and PK Flash) are mostly
useful when facing a group of normal enemies or in emergencies.
Lucas's PSI abilities will appear in the following order when you select
the PSI icon (looks like cross hairs) in the main menu outside of battle:
*Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) | *Lifeup[beta] (9 PP)
*Lifeup[gamma] (16 PP) | *Lifeup[omega] (28 PP)
Refresh (20 PP) | *Healing[alpha] (4 PP)
*Healing[beta] (8 PP) | *Healing[gamma] (18 PP)
*Healing[omega] (30 PP) | PK Love[alpha] (10 PP)
PK Love[beta] (20 PP) | PK Love[gamma] (35 PP)
PK Love[omega] (50 PP) | PK Flash (12 PP)
Shield[alpha] (6 PP) | Shield[omega] (18 PP)
Counter[alpha] (12 PP) | Counter[omega] (28 PP)
Psycho-Shield[alpha] (8 PP) | Psycho-Shield[omega] (20 PP)
Psycho-Counter[alpha] (18 PP) | Psycho-Counter[omega] (34 PP)
Offense Up[alpha] (6 PP) | Offense Up[omega] (18 PP)
Defense Up[alpha] (6 PP) | Defense Up[omega] (18 PP)
* denotes PSI moves that can be used outside of battle
In battle, PSI abilities are organized into three categories:
>Offense
>Recover
>Assist
Select a category, then select a PSI move from the list that appears on the
right. Lucas's PSI moves are listed in the order shown below.
Offense > PK Love[alpha] (10 PP)
PK Love[beta] (20 PP)
PK Love[gamma] (35 PP)
PK Love[omega] (50 PP)
PK Flash (12 PP)
Recover > Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP)
Lifeup[beta] (9 PP)
Lifeup[gamma] (16 PP)
Lifeup[omega] (28 PP)
Refresh (20 PP)
Healing[alpha] (4 PP)
Healing[beta] (8 PP)
Healing[gamma] (18 PP)
Healing[omega] (30 PP)
Assist > Shield[alpha] (6 PP)
Shield[omega] (18 PP)
Counter[alpha] (12 PP)
Counter[omega] (28 PP)
Psycho-Shield[alpha] (8 PP)
Psycho-Shield[omega] (20 PP)
Psycho-Counter[alpha] (18 PP)
Psycho-Counter[omega] (34 PP)
Offense Up[alpha] (6 PP)
Offense Up[omega] (18 PP)
Defense Up[alpha] (6 PP)
Defense Up[omega] (18 PP)
For an explanation of what each PSI move does, see the section:
"3.PSI Information"
b)Flint
�t�����g (Furinto)
"A strong, kind, and dependable father"
Flint is Lucas and Claus's father and Hinawa's husband. His high Offense
and Defense make him a strong physical attacker, which is good since he
will be the only party member you can control most of the time when you
play as him.
He cannot use any PSI and must rely on food items to stay alive; when
you're far from a place to rest, restore lost HP after battles with your
weakest food items first and save your better food items for recovery
during fights.
In battle, Flint's special attacks appear in the order shown below:
>Swing >Power Smash
>Charge Up >Stand Firm
Swing: Attacks all enemies on screen. Swing has the same offensive power as
Flint's standard attack, but you cannot combo with it. This move is
mostly useful against groups of two or three weak enemies.
Power Smash: Flint attacks with all his strength. Power Smash hits roughly
30% of the time, but it always gets a SMAAAASH!! hit that
usually inflicts 100~200+ HP of damage. This move can be
useful against enemies that take more than four or five rounds
to beat with standard attacks.
Charge Up: Increases Offense by about 20%. Charge Up will stop working once
Flint's Offense is 20% above his base value, but you can use the
move as often as you need to offset the effects of Offense
lowering attacks.
I find Charge Up to be useful in only one battle in the game.
Most fights usually don't last long enough for Charge Up to
shorten the fight.
Stand Firm: Increases Defense by about 20%. Stand Firm works in the same
way as Charge Up, only it affects Defense. You should not need
to use this move if Flint is properly equipped.
c)Boney
�{�j�[ (Bonii)
"A brave and intelligent dog"
Boney is Lucas's unusually intelligent and dependable dog. He has somewhat
low HP, Defense, and Offense, but has very high Speed and almost always
attacks first in battle. You can take advantage of this by giving Boney
your food items and using them when you need to recover someone as quickly
as possible. Give him offensive items, such as Bombs, Rockets, and
Saltwater Guns, to offset his mediocre Offense and lack of special attacks.
Boney's special ability is "sniff." If you can read Japanese, you can
determine an enemy's type (e.g. Mechanical, Chimera, etc.) and their
vulnerabilities with this move.
d)Duster
�_�X�^�[ (Dasutaa)
"A little eccentric but a nice guy
He is surprisingly skilled"
Duster is called a "thief" in the game, but he does not steal in the
conventional sense. His main job is to sneak into a castle and recover an
artifact at one point in the game. He can utilize a variety of items as his
special attacks.
Duster has very good Speed and good Offense but cannot use PSI. I recommend
you give him your best food items, as he often attacks early in battle and
has a decent amount of HP, making him a dependable healer.
Duster has a number of special abilities. Once in awhile at the beginning
of battle, Duster will get in a swift kick at the enemy before anything
else happens. This early attack has the same offensive power as Duster's
standard attack, but you cannot combo with it. This early attack occurs
roughly 10% of the time regardless of Duster or the enemy's stats or level.
Also, if an enemy approaches you from behind, Duster can sometimes either
get in a swift kick like in normal battles or make the enemy turn around
and give you a free round instead. The swift kick occurs about 20% of the
time and the free round occurs about 10% of the time.
In battle, Duster's special attacks appear in the order shown below:
>Wall Staple >Siren Beetle
>Hypnotic Pendulum >Smoke Bomb
>Scary Mask >Tickle Feather
Wall Staple: Solidifies a target for two or three rounds. This move has a
base success rate of 100%, but the actual success rate depends
on an enemy's Wall Staple defense (see starmen.net's
walkthrough for enemy defenses). The success rate against most
enemies is about 75% or lower, and most bosses are immune.
Siren Beetle: Makes an enemy turn around and do nothing for two turns.
Enemies with their back turned have roughly 20% less Defense.
Using the Siren Beetle on a sleeping enemy will wake it up.
The Siren Beetle has a success rate of 75% and is unaffected
by enemy defenses, though this move will not work on enemies
that can't be approached from behind. This includes all
bosses and special fights like the Mole Cricket.
Hypnotic Pendulum: Makes an enemy fall asleep. Sleeping enemies cannot do
anything but have a roughly 40% chance of waking up if
attacked. Use the Hypnotic Pendulum when you want to
hear the rhythm of an enemy's battle music.
The Hypnotic Pendulum has a base success rate of about
90%, though the actual success rate depends on an
enemy's sleep defense (see starmen.net's walkthrough for
enemy defenses). Note that Kumatora's Hypnosis PSI move
has a base success rate of 100%. This difference isn't
significant in most cases, and you're usually better off
using the Hypnotic Pendulum.
Smoke Bomb: Makes an enemy start uncontrollably crying, reducing the
accuracy of its physical attacks by 50%. Use the Smoke Bomb
only in long battles, as it is not very useful in battles that
last only two or three rounds.
The Smoke Bomb has a base success rate of about 90%, though the
actual success rate depends on an enemy's sleep defense (see
starmen.net's walkthrough for enemy defenses).
Scary Mask: Decreases an enemy's Offense by about 20% the first time, 8%
the second and third times, and 0% thereafter.
The Scary Mask has a success rate of about 70%. While the Scary
Mask doesn't require PP, Kumatora's Offense Down does the same
thing with a near 100% success rate.
Tickle Feather: Decreases an enemy's Defense by about 20% the first time,
8% the second and third times, and 0% thereafter.
Like the Scary Mask, the success rate of the Tickle Feather
is about 70%, while Kumatora's Defense Down has a near 100%
success rate.
e)Kumatora
�N�}�g��
"A strong and clever
tomboyish girl"
The name "Kumatora" literally means "Bear-Tiger," which is an appropriate
name for this character. Kumatora is an extremely tomboyish girl who has a
fierce personality, but she is kind enough to her friends and allies. She
is introduced as the "princess" of Osohe Castle, but there is more to this
girl than the game initially lets on.
Her specialty is offensive PSI, and as such she is not much of a physical
attacker. Her Offense, Speed, and max HP are moderate at best, but her high
IQ and max PP make up for those deficiencies. Don't be afraid to use her
PSI attacks often even against normal enemies.
Kumatora's PSI abilities will appear in the following order when you select
the PSI icon (looks like cross hairs) in the main menu outside of battle:
*Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) | *Lifeup[beta] (9 PP)
*Healing[alpha] (4 PP) | PSI Magnet[alpha] (0 PP)
PSI Magnet[omega] (0 PP) | PK Starstorm (48 PP)
PK Fire[alpha] (6 PP) | PK Fire[beta] (12 PP)
PK Fire[gamma] (20 PP) | PK Fire[omega] (40 PP)

"3.PSI Information"
f)Salsa
�T���T (Sarusa)
"A monkey that can endure anything
for the love of his girlfriend"
The name "Salsa" is a pun on the Japanese word for monkey, "saru," and the
Japanese spelling of salsa, "sarusa." With an adorable demeanor and an
amusing name, Salsa is one of the most likable monkeys you'll find in any
video game.
You will control Salsa at only a few points in the game, so don't spend too
much time leveling him up. Salsa's stats are pretty low all around except
for perhaps his Speed. His only real strengths are his special attacks:
>Apologize >Crowd Pleaser
>Dance >Monkey Mimic
Apologize: Solidifies an enemy for a few rounds.
Crowd Pleaser: Solidifies an enemy for a few rounds. Crowd Pleaser tends to
have a higher success rate than Apologize. Given Salsa's
abysmally low Offense, it's often better to use Crowd
Pleaser than attack even if you can combo.
Dance: Increases a random party member's Offense, Defense, or Speed or
decreases an enemy's stats. It can also cause an enemy to turn
around or become solidified. Use Dance when Salsa doesn't have
anything better to do.
Monkey Mimic: Salsa waits for the enemy to attack him, at which point Salsa
will use the same attack against the enemy. The mimicked
attack has the same offensive power as the enemy's attack
regardless of Salsa's Offense. Monkey Mimic is useful when
fighting a group of enemies, as Salsa can attack multiple
times if hit more than once. This move will not mimic status
affecting attacks.
2.Status Effects
Most status effects can be cured by the PSI move Healing or items. Some items
cure only specific status effects, while items like the Secret Herb and the
Cup of Lifenoodles can heal any ailment except burning and solidification.
Hot Springs cure most status effects as well.
It's usually best to heal a status effect after a battle is over. A notable
exception is during boss fights when a PSI user is affected by memory loss or
a flea, since those status effects can disrupt your use of PSI. Cure any
affected party member as soon as possible in those situations.
a)Burn
Effect: suffer about 4% of max HP worth of damage each round
Symbol: none
Cures: -Wait one or two turns
-End the battle
Burns are caused by PK Fire or other fire-based attacks.
b)Crying
Effect: reduces the accuracy of a character's physical attack by about
50%
Symbol: a tear
Cures: -Healing
-Use Eye Drops
-End the battle
Crying can greatly hinder a party member that relies on physical attacks.
You can use Healing to cure the status effect, but often times it's
better to start using offensive PSI or to just keep using standard
attacks anyway and end the battle as quickly as possible. Fortunately, a
party member cannot miss an attack if they are in the middle of a combo.
c)Feel Strange
Effect: -a character will perform a random action on a random target
-reverses movement control outside of battle
Symbol: a squiggly black blob
Cures: -Healing
-Use a Paper Fan
-Walk a few steps outside of battle
If a party member feels strange, it's sometimes better to just leave them
alone. The worst that can happen is if the affected character attacks
your own party or uses one of your good items, but these are usually
things you can deal with.
d)Flea
Effect: occasionally makes a party member fail to use special abilities
Symbol: a black dot with a bouncing line behind it
Cures: -Healing
-Use Flea Powder
The flea can be detrimental if a PSI user is affected by it, so try to
heal if Lucas or Kumatora is infested during an extended battle. If the
party is affected during a normal fight, heal after the battle is over.
This status effect persists on the field until cured.
e)Memory Loss
Effect: renders a character unable to use PSI or special abilities
Symbol: a question mark
Cures: -Healing
-Use a Recollection Bell
-Wait a few turns
-End the battle
Like the flea, memory loss can be debilitating if a PSI user is affected
by it. Heal if in a boss battle.
f)Nausea
Effect: renders a character unable to eat food items
Symbol: a gray cloud
Cures: -Healing
-Use a Fresh Mint
Nausea is only a problem in Chapter 2; use a Fresh Mint or enter a hot
spring (or equivalent) to cure it. Extra Fresh Mints can be traded for
with a ghost merchant inside Osohe Castle. Nausea persists outside of
battle until cured.
g)Paralysis
Effect: a character randomly wastes about 50% of its turns
Symbol: two zigzag lines
Cures: -Healing
-Use an Anti-Paralysis
-Wait five turns
-End the battle
Use Healing if an important party member is paralyzed in a major battle.
h)Poison
Effect: -suffer about 5% of max HP worth of damage each turn
-2 HP of damage for every 8 steps taken outside of battle
Symbol: a skull
Cures: -Healing
-Use an Antidote
It's usually best to cure poison after a battle is over, unless you are
in a long fight.
i)Sleep
Effect: renders a character unable to do anything for a few rounds
Symbol: two Z's
Cures: -Healing
-Use an Alarm Cicada
-End the battle
-Get attacked (roughly 40% chance of waking up per attack)
Put an enemy to sleep to explicitly hear the rhythm of the battle music
and make it easier to execute combos. If one of your party members falls
asleep, it's usually best to just wait until they wake up or end the
battle.
j)Solidify
Effect: renders a character unable to do anything for two or three rounds
Symbol: none
Cures: -Wait a few turns
-End the battle
This status effect cannot be healed by PSI or items but will usually go
away after two or three rounds.
3.PSI Information
PSI refers to the psionic abilities that some party members can learn. Each
PSI move consumes a certain amount of PP and cannot be used if a character
does not have enough PP to cover the cost. PP can be replenished by either
resting at a hot spring or using PP recovery food items.
PSI moves are learned when a character reaches a certain level. When a
character reaches a high enough level, he or she will fall under a fever
(indicated by white spots above the head) and be unable to run. The fever
will go away after walking a number of steps, at which point a new PSI move
will be learned.
The damage and success rates of some PSI moves are determined by various
defense values that are unique to each enemy. Starmen.net has identified 9
types of defenses that affect the following moves:
PK Flash
PK Fire
PK Freeze
PK Thunder
Paralysis
Hypnosis
Brainshock
(There are 6 other defenses that affect some special abilities and Bombs
as well.) The damage and success rates of these moves are approximately
determined as follows:
damage = (base damage) X defense/100
success rate = (base success rate) X defense/100
Search the enemies section of starmen.net's walkthrough to look up any
enemy's defense values and see below for base damage and success rates.
OFFENSE
a)PK Love
NOTE: The name of this attack will be whatever you entered as your
"favorite thing" at the beginning of the game.
This is Lucas's special PSI attack. Each version of PK Love is learned
after predetermined events in the game. It is a powerful move that
inflicts significant damage to all enemies on screen, but it consumes a
lot of PP.
Only use PK Love when you are having trouble against multiple enemies.
Otherwise, use Lucas's standard attack instead; getting high combos can
often inflict more damage to a single target than PK Love can, especially
if you use Offense Up and Defense Down. In terms of PSI, Lucas is more of
a defensive character, and it's usually better to have him focus on
recovering and boosting stats rather than using PK Love in difficult
fights.
-alpha
PP Cost: 10
Damage: 120~160 HP
PK Love[alpha] is useful against bosses and groups of enemies when Lucas
and Boney are alone and if you can't combo.
-beta
PP Cost: 20
Damage: 220~260 HP
-gamma
PP Cost: 35
Damage: 430~500 HP
-omega
PP Cost: 50
Damage: 800~860 HP
b)PK Flash
PK �t���b�V��
PP Cost: 12
Status Effects: Cry (60% base chance)
Paralysis (15% base chance)
Feel Strange (10% base chance)
Instant KO (10% chance)
No Effect (5% minimum chance)
PK Flash randomly causes uncontrollable crying, feeling strange,
paralysis, or instant defeat to all enemies on screen. Lucas learns this
move when you reach a certain point in the game. There is only one
version of this attack.
The actual probability of each status effect occuring depends on the
target's defenses according to the following formula:
actual chance = (base chance) X (defense value)/100
For example, using PK Flash on an enemy with 60 cry defense will cause
uncontrollable crying about 60% X 60/100 = 36% of the time. As far as I
can tell, no defense value affects the instant KO rate. (See
starmen.net's walkthrough for enemy defenses.)
The 5% "no effect" chance is the inherent failure rate of PK Flash. Any
increase in an enemy's resistance to crying, paralysis, or feeling
strange will increase PK Flash's failure rate.
PK Flash is best used against a group of enemies that rely on physical
attacks. Unfortunately, its random nature makes this attack mostly
unreliable, and better alternaties are usually available.
c)PK Starstorm
PK �X�^�[�X�g�[��
PP Cost: 48
Damage: 650~750 HP
PK Starstorm inflicts significant damage to all enemies on screen, being
slightly weaker than PK Love[omega]. Kumatora automatically learns this
move when you reach a certain point near the end of the game.
d)PK Fire
PK �t�@�C���[
PK Fire inflicts mediocre damage to all enemies on screen. It's
effectiveness varies depending on the target, as some enemies receive
extra damage while others are resistant or immune. PK Fire has a base
chance of roughly 8% of burning its target.
Use PK Fire to soften up a group of Organic or Organic Chimera type
enemies, as those types tend to be vulnerable to this move. Avoid using
PK Fire against neutral targets, since this move has a low cost-
effectiveness.

e)PK Freeze
PK �t���[�Y
PK Freeze deals significant damage to a single enemy. It's effectiveness
varies depending on the target, as some enemies are vulnerable to it and
receive extra damage, while others are resistant or immune. This move has
a base chance of roughly 8% of solidifying its target.
The relatively high cost-effectiveness of PK Freeze can make it a good
alternative to Kumatora's standard attack. Consider using PK Freeze when
Kumatora's "bash" is ineffective, especially when facing Bug and Human
type enemies that tend to be weak against this move.
-alpha

-omega
PP Cost: 28
Level Learned: Kumatora (51)
Base Damage: 430~520 HP
Status Effect: solidification (8% base chance)
f)PK Thunder
PK �T���_�[
Depending on what version of PK Thunder you use, this move will summon 1
to 4 lightning bolts that either strike a random enemy or hit nothing at
all. Each bolt has a base chance of about 12% to paralyze its target and
is unaffected by Psycho-Shields. Some enemies are vulnerable to PK
Thunder and receive extra damage, while others are resistant or immune.
The probability that each bolt will strike something is about 70 to 90%
against Mechanical and Mechanical Chimera type enemies and about 50 to
70% against all other types. These probabilities are unaffected by an
enemy's susceptibility to PK Thunder or the version of PK Thunder used.
PK Thunder is useful because many of the most powerful enemies in the
game are Mechanical and tend to be vulnerable to this move. Against
neutral targets, consider using Freeze or Fire before Thunder, since PK
Thunder can be somewhat unreliable against non-mechanical enemies.

g)PK Ground
PK �O���E���h
PP Cost: 43
Level Learned: Kumatora (60)
Effect: triggers an earthquake that causes five randomly targeted hits;
does not work on airborne enemies
Damage: 2.5% of max HP per hit (large enemies)
7.5% (human-sized enemies)
12.5% (small enemies)
Status Effect: trip (10% chance per hit)
PK Ground causes five randomly targeted hits that inflict damage
proportional to each target's max HP. These hits never miss unless you
are fighting an airborne enemy, so all five hits will damage a single
target if you are facing only one foe. Each hit has a roughly 10% chance
of tripping and solidifying a target; as far as I can tell, this
probability is unaffected by any defense value. This move also ignores
Psycho-Shields.
Oddly enough, the damage inflicted by PK Ground seems to depend on the
enemy's size. Human-sized enemies receive roughly 7.5% of max HP worth of
damage, while enemies the size of a typical bug or rodent receive about
12.5%. Large enemies, which include most bosses, receive about 2.5%.
Despite the lower damage against large targets, PK Ground is the best
boss killer in the game. Kumatora likely won't learn this move until the
last one or two bosses but don't bother spending too much time leveling
up to learn this move. PK Thunder[omega] is usually sufficient.
RECOVER
a)Lifeup
���C�t�A�b�v
Lifeup recovers HP and keeps you alive. This move can be used both inside
and outside of battle.
Lucas can learn all versions of Lifeup, while Kumatora can only learn
Lifeup[alpha] and [beta]. Since Kumatora specializes more in offensive
PSI, you should usually have Lucas focus on recovery and have Kumatora
use Lifeup only in emergencies.
In early parts of the game, use food items along with Lifeup to keep
everyone alive. Give your best food items to Boney and Duster and save
them for boss fights or emergencies. Use weak food items to heal injured
party members after fights when away from a hot spring.
In later parts of the game, take advantage of the rolling HP counter and
only recover when someone's HP falls to about 120 to 150 or lower. Have a
mortally wounded party member "defend" to slow down the descent of their
HP and give you more time to use Lifeup.
-alpha

Recovery: 240~260 HP to all
b)Healing
�q�[�����O
Healing will cure any ailment other than solidification or burns. This
move can be used both during and outside of battle.
You should usually use Healing after a fight is over. If you use Healing
as soon as someone gets a status effect in the middle of battle, an enemy
may cause the same status effect again and you will have wasted one of
your turns. An important exception is when Lucas or Kumatora is affected
by an ailment that disrupts their use of PSI (e.g. flea or memory loss)
during a boss battle.
-alpha
PP Cost: 4
Level Learned: Lucas (n/a)

member to full HP
-omega
PP Cost: 30
Level Learned: Lucas (56)
Effect: removes all status effects from the entire party and revives any
unconscious party members to full HP
c)Refresh
���t���b�V��
PP Cost: 20
Level Learned: Lucas (58)
Effect: the entire party recovers 10% of their max HP each turn for 5
turns
Refresh can save a party member's life because of Mother 3's rolling HP
counter. Use Refresh early in a tough battle or in preparation for a
strong attack from an enemy.
d)PSI Magnet
�T�C�}�O�l�b�g
PSI Magnet allows Kumatora to siphon an enemy's PP to herself. It is
usually not necessary to use this move, since there are ample hot springs
and Amazing Capsules (Instant Revitalizing Machines) in the game. It's
best used when facing a group of PSI using enemies or when Kumatora has
nothing better to do.
-alpha
PP Cost: 0
Effect: siphons 2~8 PP from a single target to the user
-omega
PP Cost: 0
Level Learned: Kumatora (45)
Effect: siphons 2~8 PP from all enemies to the user
ASSIST
a)Shield
�V�[���h
Shield will reduce the damage inflicted by physical attacks by 50%. It
can withstand up to a maximum of three hits before it disappears, though
you can replenish any damaged shields by using this move again. Using any
other type of shield, such as a Counter or a Psycho-Shield, will replace
this shield.
Shield can be very useful against strong bosses and in long battles.
Using this move in conjunction with Defense Up or Offense Down can reduce
any physical damage the party suffers by a substantial amount and turn a
difficult fight into an easy one. Unfortunately, some enemies can remove
shields, and shields do not protect against all attacks (e.g. "fire a
beam").
Shielded enemies cannot be hit with combos.
-alpha
PP Cost: 6
Level Learned: Lucas (22)
Effect: protects a single party member with a shield
-omega
PP Cost: 18
Level Learned: Lucas (35)
Effect: protects the entire party
b)Counter
�J�E���^�[
Counter is identical to Shield, only it also reflects any inflicted
damage back to the enemy. It costs significantly more PP, however, and
the damage reflection is usually not necessary.
-alpha
PP Cost: 12
Effect: protects a single party member
-omega
PP Cost: 28
Level Learned: Lucas (51)
Effect: protects the entire party
c)Psycho-Shield
�T�C�R�V�[���h
Psycho-Shield reduces the amount of damage inflicted by PSI attacks by
50%. It can withstand up to a maximum of three hits before it disappears.
Psycho-Shield will probably not get as much use as the regular Shield,
but it can be useful in a few boss battles. The omega version of this
move is particularly important in defending against attacks such as Fire
or Starstorm that target the entire party and cause all kinds of trouble.
The shield will not protect against Recover and Assist type attacks, such
as PSI Magnet or Offense Down. It also does not protect against PK
Thunder.
-alpha
PP Cost: 8
Level Learned: Lucas (28)
Effect: protects a single party member
-omega
PP Cost: 20
Level Learned: Lucas (45)
Effect: protects the entire party
d)Psycho-Counter
�T�C�R�J�E���^�[
Psycho-Counter is identical to the Psycho-Shield, only it reflects any
inflicted damage back to the enemy. It's pretty costly and should only be
used in longer battles against enemies that can use Starstorm or Fire.
-alpha
PP Cost: 18
Level Learned: Lucas (33)
Effect: protects a single party member
-omega
PP Cost: 34
Level Learned: Lucas (53)

e)Offense Up
�I�t�F�A�b�v
Offense Up will increase its target's Offense by about 20% the first
time, 8% the second and third times, and 0% thereafter. If you use
Offense Up 3 times on a single target, the move will only work again if
the target's Offense is somehow reduced.
Use Offense Up with Defense Down to speed up long boss fights. This move
does not make much of a difference in battles that only last a few
rounds.
-alpha
PP Cost: 6
Level Learned: Lucas (14)
Effect: increases Offense of one party member
-omega
PP Cost: 18
Level Learned: Lucas (36)

f)Defense Up
�f�B�t�F�A�b�v
Defense Up will increase its target's Defense by about 20% the first
time, 8% the first and second times, and 0% thereafter. If you use
Defense Up 3 times on a single target, the move will only work again if
the target's Defense is somehow reduced.
Use Defense Up if you are having trouble surviving a boss fight. Using
this move with Offense Down or Shield can greatly reduce the damage the
party suffers and turn a hard fight into an easy one.
-alpha
PP Cost: 6
Level Learned: Lucas (17)
Effect: increases Defense of one party member
-omega
PP Cost: 18
Level Learned: Lucas (30)
Effect: increases Defense of entire party
g)Hypnosis
�����݂��
Hypnosis will put an enemy to sleep if successful. Sleeping enemies will
do nothing until they wake up after a random number of rounds, though any
attack made on a sleeping target has a roughly 40% chance of waking it
up.
Putting at least one enemy to sleep will let you explicitly hear the
rhythm of the battle music and make it easier to get combos. You can also
use Hypnosis to reduce the number of enemies you have to deal with when
facing a group.
While Duster's Hypnotic Pendulum does the same thing as Hypnosis[alpha],
the Hypnotic Pendulum has a base success rate of about 90% while Hypnosis
has a base success rate of nearly 100%. This difference isn't significant
in most cases, and you're usually better off using the Hypnotic Pendulum
since it doesn't cost PP.
-alpha
PP Cost: 6
Level Learned: Kumatora (21)
Effect: may put a single target to sleep

h)Paralysis
�p�����C�V�X
A paralyzed target will randomly waste about 50% of its turns for five
rounds. Paralysis does not always work and should only be used on enemies
vulnerable to this move.
-alpha
PP Cost: 8

i)Brainshock
�u���C���V���b�N
Brainshock, when successful, will make enemies feel strange. Anyone
feeling strange will perform some random action on a random target
(including itself), such as attacking a cohort or healing an enemy.
-alpha

j)Offense Down
�I�t�F�_�E��
Offense Down will reduce an enemy's Offense by about 20% the first time,
about 10% the second and third times, and 0% thereafter. If you use
Offense Down 3 times on a single target, the move will only have effect
again if the target's Offense is somehow increased.
Using Offense Down along with Defense Up or Shield can greatly reduce the
amount of damage the party suffers. Use this move if you are having
trouble surviving a boss fight.
This attack seems to have a success rate of 100%--I've never seen it fail
except in special cases.

Defense Down 3 times on a single target, the move will only have effect

natured animals, and eating their mother's home-cooked meals around the dining
table have passed quickly.
Now, all they have to do is pass through the familiar forest and go home.
There were no traces of any ominous signs.
A pigeon flies into the evening sky, carrying a letter that says, "We'll be
home soon."
Where in the world is this place, what time period is it,
is it a tragedy or a comedy...
All that remains a mystery, and the story begins.

VI.Prologue
*******************************************************************************
"Nowhere Islands"
"Tatsumairi Village"
"In a place past Sunshine Forest"
"Hinawa's father, Alec's house"
1.Grandpa's House
The game will begin with Lucas sleeping in bed and his brother Claus banging
on the door, trying to get him to wake up.
"Lucaaaaaas!
How long are you gonna sleep?
Get up and let's play!
Hurry up and get out of bed!
The Drago brought her baby with her!
It's reeeaaally cute!!
Hurry up and come!"
Get out of bed and walk down the stairs. Hinawa, Lucas's mom, will stop him
as he tries to walk outside:
Hinawa:
"Are you planning to play outside with your pajamas on?
Go change your clothes.
>Yes >No"
If you answer "no" Hinawa won't let Lucas out of the house:
"Then stay inside the house with your pajamas on forever."
In a video game "forever" literally means forever, so answer "yes."
Once changed, walk back downstairs and out of the house. From this open area,
there is one exit to the east and another to the south. You will have to go
east, since the game will not allow you to go south: there is a trail of ants
blocking the path south and stepping on them is just too cruel to allow.
Standing next to the eastern path is a frog. Talk to it to save:
"A story is a string of memories.
A memory and a memory are remembered and become memories.
If you don't record your memories, they will be forgotten.
That's why
you should tell the frogs the memories you've collected...
People call that saving.
Now.
*Boing*
Would you like to save?
>Yes >No"
Select "yes" to save. These frogs are found all over the place, and you'll
have ample opportunities to save.
Go to the next area:
[ Claus runs into a Drago ]
Claus:
"*Huff Puff*
Whew, I'm tired.
I've been play fighting with Dragos.
Let's play Lucas.
>Yes >No
Yes:
| Try to "tackle" the Drago.
No:
| C'mon, don't say that and try to do a "tackle."
| The Dragos are waiting."
Alec:
"Claus!
Lucas doesn't know how to "tackle" yet."
Alec will approach and explain how to tackle. Tackling is done by dashing
into objects and creatures. Press and hold the B button for about half a
second and let go to start dashing. Run into the Drago Claus was playing with
to tackle it. Talk to Claus and he will explain that Dragos enjoy being
tackled--the harder the tackle, the happier they feel.
All of a sudden, a belligerent little mole cricket will appear out of nowhere
and start picking a fight with Lucas and Claus. He saw them play fighting
with the Drago and wanted to join in. The first battle will then begin.
The mole cricket is an easy opponent, and the fight will serve as an
introduction to the battle system. The four icons at the top are:
BASH | GOODS | DEFEND | RUN AWAY
Select "bash" for both characters to attack. This is a good time to practice
the "Sound Battle" system. Listen to the rhythm of the background music and
tap the A button in time with the song. With good timing, you will be able to
get multiple hits in one turn.
When you win the fight, Hinawa will come and call everyone to dinner. Alec
will then briefly break the fourth wall and explain how to save to you, then
run off to join the rest of the family.
During the meal, Hinawa tells the kids to get ready to go home when they've
finished eating. They will have to walk through the woods and should leave
before it gets dark.
Hinawa will walk outside, and the game will show you her letter to Lucas's
father, Flint.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Flint,
Just as you said,
the kids have been tirelessly
running around the mountains and fields
since we came.
As usual,
Claus was rambunctious
and getting into danger,
while Lucas was still
a bit spoiled.
But it looks like they both
still want to play some more.
Dad hadn't seen his grandkids in
a while and seems a little sad to
let them go, but we decided to
come home by this evening.
It's been a long time since I
breathed this clean, refreshing mountain air.
I wish I could've gotten you away
from the smell of sheep you're always
covered in and let you breathe in this air.
The next time we visit, we should
ask one of our neighbors to look after
the sheep for us and all come up here
as a family.
Claus, Lucas, and I were always
thinking of you.
As soon as we get home this evening,
I'll roll up my sleeves and make you
some delicious fluffy omeletes.
Yours truly,
Hinawa

HP: 56
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 8~10 HP
-Become affectionate
Effect: solidify a single target
-Size up the situation
Effect: makes itself feel strange

This enemy sometimes drops Nut Bread (recovers 30 HP).
-Flint: standard attack

���܂������X�^�[ "Satsumai Monsuta"
(A potato plant with one eye)
Type: Organic
Vulnerable: Fire, crying
HP: 33
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 4~6 HP
Strategy
The Yammonster is always stationary outside of battle and can be easily
approached from behind to get a surprise attack.
You should be able to defeat the Yammonster in 1 or 2 rounds with decent
combos or about 3 rounds without combos. This enemy occasionally drops
Nut Bread (recovers 30 HP).
-Flint: standard attack

(the special attacks icon is the third from the left; Swing is the first
option). You should be able to win in 2 rounds.
The Firefly may drop a Nut Bread (recovers 30 HP) when defeated.

If you can't combo, use Flint's Power Smash instead. Standard attacks
without combos will take about four or five rounds to defeat the Flying
Mouse. Power Smash can defeat the Flying Mouse in one hit and has an
accuracy of roughly 30%, so you have an 83% chance of defeating this
enemy within five rounds by using Power Smash each turn.
This enemy may drop a Peculiar Cheese when defeated. The amount of HP
the Cheese recovers depends on the person. Flint will recover 60 HP when
he eats the Cheese.
-Flint: standard attack
Power Smash, if you can't combo
WALKTHROUGH
a)Flint's House
After the introductory scene, Thomas will come running down to Flint's
house while blaring a siren:
"Flint, Flint, Fliiiint!!
It's a fire, it's a fire, a fire a fire!
Sunshine Forest is burniiiing!"
When you gain control of Flint, walk toward the door (or you can check the
bed to rest if you want; the burning forest can wait).
"It's going to get really bad if you don't hurry Flint!!
The forest the forest the forest the forest!
The forest is burniiiiing!
For crying out loud, why does he lock his door in a safe town like
this! Fliiint!"
[ Thomas breaks the doorknob ]
"Ah! The doorknob...
Of all the times to break!"
[ Flint comes out the door ]
"Oops, the doorknob!
I mean, Flint!
This is no time to be dense!
There's a huge fire at Sunshine Forest!
Don't reckless 'nice guys' like you take action in times like this!
C'mooon Flint. Pleeease!
>Yes >No
No:
| In that case,
| I'm Dragging you with me!
[ "Thomas joins you!" ]
I'll stay behind you.
What?
I like following people around!
Thomas will follow Flint but won't participate in battle.
b)About Flint
Flint is Lucas and Claus's father and Hinawa's husband. He has high
Offense, Defense, and HP, making him a strong physical fighter with good
survivability.
Flint has several special moves he can use during battles (select the cross
hair icon to use special abilities). These moves are:
>Swing >Power Smash
>Charge Up >Stand Firm
Swing: Attacks all enemies on screen. Swing has the same offensive power as
Flint's standard attack, but you cannot combo with it. This move is
mostly useful against groups of two or three weak enemies,
especially if you can't combo.
Power Smash: Power Smash hits roughly 30% of the time, but it always gets a
SMAAAASH!! hit that usually inflicts 100~200+ HP of damage.
This move can be useful against enemies that take more than
four or five rounds to beat with standard attacks.
Charge Up: Increases Offense by about 20%. Charge Up will stop working once
Flint's HP is 20% above the base value, but you can use the move
as often as you need to offset the effects of enemy stat
decreasing attacks.
Stand Firm: Increases Defense by about 20%. Stand Firm works in the same
way as Charge Up, only it affects Defense.
Examine Boney's dog house to find the Stick, Flint's first weapon.
Next, check the northeast part of the area to find a gift box containing
Nut Bread, a food item that recovers 30 HP when used. Food items will be
Flint's only means of recovery in battle, but you'll be able to find more
than enough to stay alive. Use your best food items to recover during
fights while using weaker food items after fights.
Go north into the town square.
c)The Town Square
(1C1)
There are three other passages leading from the town square, but you can
only go north for now. Talk to the man sitting on a bench wearing a hat and
sunglasses. His name is Mapson, and he will give you a map of the area. He
will express concern about a man named "Lighter" and his home in the
forest and will circle the location of his house on your map (press R to
view).
Take the north exit.
d)Crossroad
This next area is called the "Crossroad." There are gift boxes located in
the southeast corner and the northwest corner containing an Edible Mushroom
(recovers 20 HP) and Nut Bread respectively.
You may also find a few Nuts on the ground. They recover 5 HP when directly
eaten but can be turned into Nut Cookies (recover 15 HP) or Nut Bread a
little later in the game. If you want more Nuts or can't find any, just
exit and reenter the area.
The very tall man ringing the bell tower is named "Leder." Talk to him:
Thomas:
"Hey, Leder!
Can you see the fire from up there?!
I said, hey!
...he never says a thing."
Go west to move on.
e)Sunshine Forest
(1C2)
Before heading into the forest, Flint will be stopped by a man named Yonel.
Yonel believes Flint should take a moment to pray at the shrine, even in a
hurried time like this. When he asks if what he's saying is wrong, answer
"no;" if you answer "yes," Yonel will just repeat himself.
Enter the shrine and examine the altar. A voice will ask you to enter your
name (the player's name, not Flint's). If you don't know Japanese, select
the "ABC" option. Answer "yes" when prompted the first time to confirm;
answer "no" to reenter your name. Exit the shrine and go into the forest.
The first person you'll see in the forest is Mike. Talk to Mike 3 times to
receive 3 "kind of dirty and not very good" Nut Cookies (recovers 15 HP).
Nut Cookies are mostly useful for recovering HP after battles.
You should see your first enemy, a Mr. Batty, a little bit into the forest.
This is a good enemy to practice the "Sound Battle" system against, since
its battle music has a simple rhythm that shouldn't be hard to figure out.
It is also pretty weak and easy to defeat. Stay in this area and fight the
Mr. Batties if you want more practice or if you want to level up. There is
a hot spring to the west you can recover in.
There is a gift box next to the house here containing an Aries Bracelet.
Equip it as "other." To the west is a hot spring in which you can recover
HP and cure status effects. Simply stay in the hot spring for about 7
seconds to heal yourself. Go north to proceed.
f)Sunshine Forest: Burning Part
The forest is burning all over the place in this area, and Flint will take
minor damage if he walks over any flames. There are also Yammonsters buried
in the ground, but they're easy to approach from behind since they're
stationary. You should be able to defeat this enemy in about 1 or 2 rounds
with combos or 3 rounds without.
(1C3)
There is a gift box containing Nut Bread to the north along the right edge
of the area. You will find Lighter lying on the ground to the left of this
gift box.
g)Rescuing Lighter and Fel
Use a food item if Flint's HP is lower than 70 before approaching Lighter.
Lighter was trying to fend off a bunch of fire breathing flies, but there
were too many and he became injured. His son, "Fel," is trapped in their
home further north. Thomas tells Flint to go rescue the boy while he stays
behind to look after Lighter.
Examine the large piece of wood to obtain Lighter's Lumber, a weapon for
Flint. It will slightly decrease Flint's Speed, but the increase in Offense
is worth the trade-off. Equip it and discard the Stick.
Before you can move into the next area, Flint will be attacked by three
Fireflies. Use Flint's Swing attack to damage all three Fireflies at once
(the special attacks icon is the third from the left; Swing is the first
option). You should be able to win in 2 rounds. You may also get Nut Bread
for winning.
Recover with a food item if Flint's HP is below 80 in preparation for
another battle. When you reach Lighter's house to the north, dash into the
door to break in.
When you try to go upstairs, you will be attacked by a Flying Mouse. You
should be able to win in 2 to 3 rounds with combos. To execute combos,
don't time your button presses with each beat of the song; instead, press
the A button between each beat.
If you can't combo, try using Flint's Power Smash ability (it's in the
upper right corner in the special abilities menu). You have a roughly 83%
chance of getting at least one hit within 5 rounds if you use the move each
turn. One hit from Power Smash will defeat the Flying Mouse.
The mouse may drop a Peculiar Cheese when defeated. The Cheese recovers 60
HP for Flint, but the amount it recovers varies with the person who eats
it. In the inventory menu, the Cheese looks like a circle with a piece
taken out of it.
Go upstairs and dash through a chunk of wood to get to Fel. Talk to him and
head back to town.
You will find Lighter lying on a bench next to the shrine. He will thank
Flint for rescuing his son. When it starts raining, the group will head to
the Inn to tend to their wounds.

(A round bomb with a lightning icon on it)

paralysis
Base Damage: 85~95 HP
Obtained: check behind Wes's house in east Tatsumairi
To find Wes's house, go east from the town square, cross the bridge, and
move north up the ridge. There is a gift box hidden behind the left side of
the house containing a Thunder Bomb. This gift box refills every time you
enter the Crossroad, allowing you to take as many Thunder Bombs as you
want. Give about 1 or 2 to Boney in preparation for a boss battle.
b)Beef Jerky
�ق��ɂ� "Hoshiniku"
(A light brown piece of meat)
Use: recovers 60 HP
Location: -in Sunshine forest
-in a cave on the cliffs
-on the riverbank in the forest
Always make room for Beef Jerky in your inventory. It is the best food
item you can get at this point in the game. Don't get too stingy with it,
though, since you'll be able to find a good number of these later on. Eat
Beef Jerky when you need to recover in the middle of battle.

works, the Caribou will briefly turn blue and be unable to attack for
two or three rounds. Use the technique again when the Caribou frees
itself. Keep using the Wall Staple until it's successful. Unless you get
unlucky, the Caribou should only attack once or twice during the battle.
You should be able to win in about four to five rounds with combos or
seven to eight rounds without. If you have the Thunder Bomb
("Ikazuchidama") you can use it to inflict about 110 HP of damage.
Have Boney use any Beef Jerky or Nut Breads in his inventory if anyone's
HP falls below 60; if you have any Peculiar Cheeses, you can use those
to recover 60 of Flint or Duster's HP (don't use it on Boney).
-Flint: standard attack
-Duster: Wall Staple
standard attack, while the Caribou is immobilized
-Boney: standard attack

WALKTHROUGH
a)Missing in the Woods
Enter the rightmost room of the Inn to find an Antidote, an item that cures
poison (it looks like a small blue bottle). You can examine the bed here to
rest and recover whenever you want to.
When you exit the Inn, Isaac will approach Flint and ask him if he has seen
Hinawa and his kids. It doesn't matter whether you answer "yes" or "no."
Isaac says he saw Hinawa while in the woods and is afraid something happened
to them:
"I was in the mountains picking mushrooms when I saw Hinawa. A little
later, I was resting next to the riverbank when I heard this loud
howl from far away...it sounded like a Drago's howl. Then I
thought...I heard...a scream.
...Flint. Hinawa is back home, right?"
Go back to Flint's house. The carrier pigeon sent by Hinawa will be sleeping
in front of the door. Approach it and Flint will read the letter (in which
Hinawa says she and the kids will be back home by the end of the day).
Isaac and Fel will come to check on Flint and find that Hinawa and the boys
are not home yet. Worried that the three are stuck in the rain, they go off
to form a search party.
When you exit the house, Boney will ask to go with you. Answer "yes" since
you will need him to progress later in the game. Boney will be your second
party member. He has high Speed and decent offensive power, but he has low
HP and requires more care than Flint to keep alive. Give him some of your
food items, as his high Speed makes him a good healer in battle and you'll
want Flint attacking instead of recovering as much as possible.
(1C4)
There are a few gift boxes you can open around town. To the east are a
Peculiar Cheese and a Thunder Bomb, an item that inflicts about 90 HP of
Thunder damage to all enemies on screen. The Thunder Bomb is hidden behind
Wes's house, which is on a ridge next to the river. This gift box will
refill with another Thunder Bomb whenever you enter the Crossroad. Give one
or two to Boney in preparation for a boss battle.
To the west, you can find Nut Bread next to a tent and an Edible Mushroom
on the beach.
b)Search Party
Go north toward the forest. On the way, you will meet Yonel, who has formed
different groups and sent them into the forest to search for Hinawa and the
kids.
(1C5)
Before heading into the woods, enter Isaac's house (it's located near the
hot spring). Check the box sitting on the table to find an Antidote, an item
that cures poison (it looks like a small blue bottle). Carry about one or
two of these (check the box multiple times). Use it after a battle is over
if somebody gets poisoned.
The forest is now filled with stronger enemies. The Baked Yammonsters and
the Mighty Bitey Snakes lurking in the area can both be defeated in one
round with combos or two rounds without. Both enemies can be approached from
behind since the Baked Yammonster is always stationary and takes a couple
seconds to emerge from the ground, while the Snake just wanders around
aimlessly. The Baked Yammonster often drops a Baked Yam, which recovers 40
HP (it has light brown skin with yellow innards).
Talk to "Lisa," the first blond haired woman you see in the forest, to
receive an Antidote. To get to your destination, head towards Lighter's
house but take a detour to the left on the way. This passage was previously
blocked by a large flame but is now open (it is the path you saw the
mysterious pig masked soldier run through during the fire).
In this new area, walk south to find a gift box containing an Antidote; to
the north are two more gift boxes that hold Beef Jerky, a food item that
recovers 60 HP, and a Mini-Mini Charm, a piece of armor that can be equipped
on the "body." Equip the Mini-Mini Charm on Flint, as Boney is already
equipped with the White Collar. Move north into the next area.
c)Dead End
(1C6)
Go directly north and talk to Bronson, the man wearing suspenders and
standing in front of some fallen trees. The trees are completely blocking
the way forward, and the group decides to find another way around. Isaac,
Lighter, and Fel will then come to help. Lighter (being the macho guy that
he is) has recovered from his injuries and begins working on getting the
trees out of the way.
(1C7)
Walk to the west and toward the cliffs. Talk to Yonel, the man wearing the
hat. He recognizes the scratches and footprints on the cliffs as that of a
Drago, but wonders what could've driven the normally tame Drago to cause
such damage.
Walk back down south a bit and Boney will spot something: Higher up on the
cliff is a red piece of clothing stuck on a tree.
(1C8)
Talk to Wes, the old man that just joined the group. He will realize Flint
wants to climb the cliff and examine the cloth. He believes his son can help
and tells Boney to go get him from his home.
You will then be prompted to give Wes's son a name; his default name is
"Duster." Wes will let Boney smell one of Duster's stinky socks and sends
him off.
After some doing, Boney will get Duster to come to the cliffs. Wes will
tell him what to do:
Wes:
"Duster...
It's finally time to put the thieving skills you've been practicing
since you were a child to use. Now, let me see you successfully apply
your Wall Staple technique!"
Duster:
"I've had a lot of practice, but this is the first time I try it for
real...I hope it goes well..."
Duster will look for a suitable place on the cliff (indicated by a dark,
vertical band) and will start building a ladder to the top. Climb the ladder
and talk to him. He tells Flint that he has a slightly bad leg, but he wants
to go with you.
Walk toward the torn piece of clothing and examine it. You can also enter
the cave and find a Nut Bread and Beef Jerky. There are a few mole enemies
in the cave, but you should be able to defeat them with little trouble.
d)Reconstructed Caribou
Before moving on, save the game and recover your party members with your
worst food items. Give Duster and Boney at least one or two Beef Jerkys,
Peculiar Cheeses, or Nut Breads. If you have trouble getting combos, give
Boney your Thunder Bombs.
Walk north to spot a few masked men doing something suspicious. Before long,
you will engage the Reconstructed Caribou.
Have Duster use his special "Wall Staple" technique in the first round; if
successful, the Caribou will briefly turn blue and be immobilized for two or
three rounds (select the third icon from the left to use special
techniques). There is a roughly 10% chance that the technique will fail, so
use it again if it does. Use the Wall Staple whenever the Caribou regains
movement.
With combos, you should win in four to five rounds. Have Boney use any food
items in his inventory to recover anyone whose HP falls to 60 or below. If
you have Peculiar Cheeses, you can use that to recover 60 of Flint or
Duster's HP.
If you can't combo, use a Thunder Bomb if possible to inflict about 110 HP
of damage. Duster should still try to immobilize the Caribou with his Wall
Staple. You can use Flint's Charge Up to increase his Offense, but it'll
likely shorten the battle by one round at most. You should be able to win in
about seven to eight rounds.
After the battle, you can pick up the notebook the masked men left behind
and read what it says:
"All the animals here are lame.
We have to make them cooler.
The themes are:
-stronger!
-badder!
-and more violent!
Take this and that and put them together to make something completely
new. If we were to name it, it'll be called the Charming Chimera
Plan. We'll work hard at reconstruction."
The Pig Mark Notebook will considered a Key Item and won't take up inventory
space.
Move north into the next area, watch the scene, and go back to where the
fallen trees were. Duster and Boney will be parting from Flint, so transfer
any items you want from their inventory.
e)The Boys Found
Yonel will inform you that Lucas and Claus were both found and offers to
watch over Boney while Flint goes to see them. Go through the passage that
was previously blocked by the fallen tress to reach the campsite where the
boys are resting. There is a gift box in the northeast that contains Beef
Jerky; take it before doing anything else.
Talk to the people surrounding the kids, and they will move out of the way.
When you regain control of Flint, talk to both of the kids. They are still
in a state of shock from the ordeal and mention something about their
mother. Try to move further north and Bronson will come running to the
campsite with some important news. Talk to him, and he will tell you what he
found.
Bronson:
"Flint...
How can I say this...
Anyway, calm down and listen to me.
I have good news and bad news. What do you want to hear...
No, wait...
Let me tell you the good news first.
I found a really large Drago Fang.
It'll make a great weapon.
I thought you should use it.
...
The bad news is...
...
The bad news is...
...
...where I found the Drago Fang.
It was...
In your...
It was stabbed in your wife's heart..."
[ Flint falls to the ground ]
"Flint...
Get a hold of yourself...
I'm sure Claus and Lucas are safe because Hinawa saved them with her
life."

ITEMS
a)Better Stick
�܂��Ȃڂ� "Mashi na Bou"
(A thin, light-brown staff)
Use: weapon for Flint; increases Offense by 20
Obtained: Thomas's Bazaar, in the town square
The Better Stick is a weapon for Flint that occasionally appears at
Thomas's Bazaar in the town square. It is the best weapon Flint can get in
this chapter, and it's free since Thomas just gives away whatever he has in
stock. Unfortunately, the items Thomas has for sale is random, and the odds
that the Better Stick will be available is probably pretty low.
The items available at Thomas's Bazaar seems to change after every
storyline event, such as cut-scenes, boss fights, or required NPC
interactions. I don't think time is a factor--I've tried waiting up to 20
minutes while messing around in town and the forest without Thomas changing
what he has for sale; on the other hand, triggering a scripted event that
took less time did the trick.
b)Drago Fang
�h���S�̃L�o "Dorago no Kiba"
(A white fang attached to a hilt)
Use: use when fighting a Drago
Obtained: talk to Bronson
You will have to have the Drago Fang before entering the forest. You can
receive it by either going to Bronson's house next to Thomas's Bazaar or by
attempting to enter the forest without it. This item is the only thing that
can break a Drago's hard outer skin. "Use" it when you get into a fight
with a Drago to make the Drago susceptible to damage.
c)Flea Charm
�m�~�̂��܂��� "Nomi no Omamori"
(A small pentagonal charm)
Use: armor; equip on "body;" increases Defense by 5
Obtained: Thomas's Bazaar, in the town square
Check Thomas's Bazaar for the Flea Charm before heading into the mountains.
Discard the Mini-Mini Charm if it was equipped before.
d)Running Bomb
�͂��肾�� "Hashiridama"
(A purple ball with black lines coming of it)
Use: inflicts about 100 HP of damage to all enemies on screen
Obtained: Thomas's Bazaar, in the town square
Check Thomas's Bazaar for the Running Bomb before heading into the
mountains. Use it when you are in a dangerous situation or against bosses.
e)Thunder Bomb
�C�J�d�`���� "Ikazuchidama"
(A round bomb with a lightning icon on it)
Use: inflicts Thunder damage to all enemies on screen; occasionally causes
paralysis
Base Damage: 85~95 HP
Obtained: -talk to Wes
-check behind Wes's house
Go to Wes's home on the eastern edge of town and talk to him to receive the
Thunder Bomb. Use it when you are in a dangerous situation or against
bosses vulnerable to Thunder. You can find another Thunder Bomb by checking
behind Wes's house on the left side; the Bomb should be there even if you
took one earlier during the night, as the gift box refills every time you
enter the Crossroad.
f)Manly Bandana
���Ƃ����̃o���_�i "Otokogi no Bandana"
(A gray and white striped bandana)
Use: armor; equip on "head;" increases Offense by 2 and Defense by 1
Obtained: talk to Lighter after talking to Alec at Hinawa's grave
You can find Lighter on the western coast of Tatsumairi. He is on the end
of a thin peninsula.
The Manly Bandana is not as good as the Ordinary Hat in increasing Defense,
but the trade-off is worth the higher Offense.
g)Nut Cookie/Nut Bread
���̂݃N�b�L�[ "Konomi Kukkii"
���̂݃p�� "Konomi Pan"
Use: recovers 15 HP and 30 HP respectively
Obtained: trade 1 or 3 Nuts with Caroline at her home in the town square
If you have any Nuts in Flint's inventory, give them to Caroline on the
west side of the town square for Nut Cookies or Nut Bread.

Type: Bug
Vulnerable: Freeze, sleep
HP: 34
Attacks
-Swing its claws
Damage: 1~2 HP

The Praying Mantis should be no sweat. Defeat it last if it appears in a
group. The Praying Mantis sometimes drops a Nut (recovers 5 HP; can be
turned into a Cookie or Bread) when defeated.

12-hit combo or two to three rounds without combos. Defeat it before any
Praying Mantises.
The Greedy Mouse sometimes drops a Peculiar Cheese (recovers 60 HP for
Flint) or Nut Bread (recovers 30 HP) when defeated.
-Flint: standard attack
c)Baked Yammonster
�₫�������X�^�[ "Yakiimonsta"
(A potato with a scary face)

-Make a scary face
Effect: decreases Offense by about 20%
-Let out a burst of steam
Effect: none
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Baked Yammonster in two rounds with
combos and three rounds without. This enemy is always stationary and
takes about a second to emerge from the ground, so it should be easy to
approach from behind if you know where they are. The Baked Yammonster
often drops a Baked Yam (recovers 40 HP).
-Flint: standard attack
d)Mighty Bitey Snake
���ނƂ��͂��ރw�r "Kamu Toki wa Kamu Hebi"
Type: Organic
Vulnerable: Freeze, crying
HP: 74
Attacks
-Biting Attack
Damage: 7~9 HP
-Take a bite using its poisonous fangs
Damage: 5~6 HP
Effect: poisons target
-Coil attack
Effect: solidify a target
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Snake in one round with a 3 to 5-hit
combo or two rounds without. Defeat it last if it appears in a group; if
you don't have any Antidotes, defeat it first.
If you are poisoned, use an Antidote after the battle to cure yourself.
You can obtain as many Antidotes as you want at Isaac's house near the
hot spring. The Snake wanders around aimlessly outside of battle, so try
to approach it from behind.
The Mighty Bitey Snake sometimes drops an Antidote (cures poison).
-Flint: standard attack
e)Flying Mouse
�g�r�}�E�X "Tobimausu"
(A mouse with wings)
Type: Organic Chimera
Vulnerable: Fire, sleep
HP: 110
Attacks
-Biting attack
Damage: 7~9 HP
-Continuous attack
Effect: the Flying Mouse hits twice
Damage: 3~4 HP per hit
-Stand its hair on end
Effect: none
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Flying Mouse in two to three rounds with
combos or about four to five rounds without.
To execute combos, you will have to time your button presses not with
the main beats of the music but between each beat.
This enemy sometimes drops a Peculiar Cheese when defeated. The amount of
HP the Cheese recovers depends on the person. Flint will recover 60 HP
when he eats the Cheese.
-Flint: standard attack
f)Beanling
�}���`�R "Mamechiko"
(Bean with face, arms, and legs; has a leaf growing on its head)
Type: Mysterious Creature
Vulnerable: Freeze, crying
HP: 138
Attacks
-PK Fire[alpha]
Damage: 25~40 HP
Status Effect: may cause burns (4% of max HP worth of damage per turn)
-Hop up and down
Effect: none
-Run away
Effect: end the battle
Comments: The Beanling will disappear completely when it runs away.
Strategy
The Beanling is a rare enemy that rewards 538 experience points. It
appears in the first burnt part of the forest just before Lighter's
collapsed house; check the northern half of the area.
Have at least 100 HP or so before trying to catch the Beanling. It likes
to use PK Fire, and the more time you spend recovering, the more likely
the Beanling will run away and disappear.
The Beanling looks like a very small, hopping bean outside of battle. It
moves as fast as Flint can dash and always tries to run away. When the
Beanling runs into an obstacle and can no longer move away from Flint, it
will burrow into the ground. It will reemerge a few seconds later at a
nearby spot. This is the only time you can catch the Beanling, as it
takes a couple seconds to come out of the ground.
You should be able to defeat the Beanling in two to three rounds with
combos or about four to five rounds without.
-Flint: standard attack
g)Soot Dumpling
�X�X�_���S "Susudango"
(A round, gray creature with a smiling face)
Type: Mysterious Creature
Vulnerable: crying
HP: 36
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 1 HP
-Scatter some soot
Effect: makes a party member uncontrollably cry
-Fly away on the wind
Effect: ends the battle
Comments: The Soot Dumpling will likely fly away by the third round.
You'll need to attack with decent combos to defeat this enemy
before it disappears.
Strategy
The Soot Dumpling is a rare enemy that rewards 1000 experience points. It
occasionally appears in front of Lighter's collapsed house. It simply
rolls back and forth and can be easily approached from behind, but it
will disappear if you run towards it.
The Soot Dumpling has very low Offense but incredibly high Defense. As
such, you will only inflict 1 (maybe 2) HP of damage per hit to each
other. If you want to defeat this enemy before it's blown away, you will
have to attack with good combos and inflict 36 HP of damage. A SMAAAASH!!
hit will only inflict about 1 HP of damage, so don't try to use Power
Smash; bombs have no effect either.
-Flint: standard attack (with high combos)
h)Walking Bushie
���邭�����݂���� "Aruku Shigemichan"
(A green bush with eyes and legs)
Type: Organic
Vulnerable: Fire, sleep
HP: 108
Attacks
-Lifeup[alpha]
Effect: recovers about 60 HP for Flint
Comments: The Walking Bushie seems to use Lifeup[alpha] until Flint's HP
is maxed out.
-Become affectionate
Effect: solidifies a party member for two or three rounds
-Blow some wind
Effect: makes Flint feel refreshed (i.e. none)
-Say goodbye and walk away
Effect: ends the battle
Strategy
This is the nicest enemy you'll find in the game. The Walking Bushie will
recover Flint's HP for free and never attack. It can be found below the
cliffs and by the riverbank in the forest.
You will only get 8 exp. points for defeating the Walking Bushie; you
don't deserve to be rewarded for being a jerk, after all.
-Flint: defend
run away
standard attack
i)Spud Bug
�������ނ� "Koimo Mushi"
(Resembles an obese caterpillar)
Type: Bug
Vulnerable: Freeze, crying
HP: 80
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 4 HP
-Call for help
Effect: another Spud Bug may join the battle
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Spud Bug in one turn with a 2 or 3 hit
combo. Use Flint's Swing if you are facing three or more Spud Bugs or if
you can't combo.
-Flint: standard attack
Swing, if facing three or more
j)Agitated Boar
�R�[�t���C�m�V�V "Koufun Inoshishi"
Type: Organic
Vulnerable: Fire, crying
HP: 134
Attacks
-Charge forward
Damage: 25~30 HP
-Kick the ground
Effect: none
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Agitated Boar in two to three rounds
with combos or four to five rounds without. This enemy can inflict pretty
high damage, so recover with the Walking Bushies before engaging.
The Agitated Boar can only move in a straight line outside of battle when
it charges. To approach this enemy from behind, lure the Boar into
charging towards an obstacle, such as a cliff or a tree, then run around
the Boar just as it's about to hit Flint.
The Agitated Boar sometimes drops Beef Jerky (recovers 60 HP) when
defeated; you should definitely make room for it in your inventory.
-Flint: standard attack
k)Mischievous Mole
���ȃ��O�� "Yancha na Mogura"
Type: Organic
Vulnerable: Fire, crying
HP: 103
Attacks
-Scratch with its claws
Damage: 7~8 HP
-Throw a stone
Damage: 5~6 HP
-Tickle
Effect: reduce Defense by about 20%
-Fall down
Effect: none
-Become homesick
Effect: none
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Mischievous Mole in one round with an 8
to 10-hit combo or two to three rounds without combos. This enemy
sometimes drops Nut Bread (recovers 30 HP).
-Flint: standard attack
l)Crag Lizard
����g�J�Q "Iwa Tokage"
(A creature made entirely out of rock)
Type: Organic
Vulnerable: Freeze, sleep
HP: 124
Attacks
-Biting attack
Damage: 7~15 HP
-Tear into you
Damage: 14~25 HP
-Edge closer
Effect: none
Strategy
The Crag Lizard has pretty high Defense, and you'll need to attack with
good combos to inflict decent damage. Getting combos shouldn't be too
difficult, since the rhythm of the battle music is simple.
You should be able to win in about three to four rounds with combos. If
you can't combo and are at a low level (lvl. 10~11), avoid fighting this
enemy altogether.
You can also try using Flint's Power Smash ability, as one hit from this
move will defeat the Crag Lizard. You have about an 83% chance of getting
at least one hit from Power Smash within five rounds.
This enemy sometimes drops Beef Jerky (recovers 60 HP) when defeated.
-Flint: standard attack
Power Smash, if unable to combo
Beef Jerky, as needed
WALKTHROUGH
a)A Brief Period of Mourning
Flint will wake up in the town jail with Bronson watching over him.
"We've never put anyone in Tatsumairi's jail before. You're our
commemorative first prisoner."
He informs Flint that Ollie and Abbot have both recovered from Flint's
beating. He offers his condolences and tells Flint to get some rest.
Go up to the desk and examine it ("It looks like it hasn't been used in a
while"). Next check the prison door twice. Claus will then come in and give
Flint an apple.
"Dad, I'm going to leave this apple here, okay.
The core is hard and it might be tough to eat but...
The core is...
The core is hard and it might be tough to eat, but you have to eat
it, okay!
I'm going to get stronger.
...so strong I can easily beat a Drago!
Dad...
I..."
Examine the apple and answer "yes" when prompted. Flint will bite into the
apple and find a file inside. Examine the door and answer "yes" to break the
lock with the file.
Duster will be waiting for Flint outside the jail. He offers his sympathies
and tells Flint that Lucas has been at Hinawa's grave all day, crying his
little heart out.
Go into the town square and you will find Mapson next to where you enter.
Talk to him and he will circle the location of the graveyard on your map.
The baker's house is also right next to where Mapson is standing. Go inside
and talk to the woman standing by the counter for a Nut Bread. After this,
you can give her 1 Nut to make a Nut Cookie or 3 Nuts to make Nut Bread.
(1C9)
Go north into the Crossroad and go north again into the graveyard. Hinawa's
grave is to the northeast. You will find much of the townsfolk paying their
respects. The grave is decorated with sunflowers, Hinawa's favorite flower.
Lucas's grandfather Alec has come all the way to town to mourn. Talk to him,
and he will ask Flint if Claus didn't come with him; Claus left saying he
wanted to go meet Flint but apparently hasn't come back after that. Alec
asks Lucas if he knows where Claus went. Lucas denies knowing anything but
lets slip that Claus ran off into the mountains with Flint's knife to go and
kill the Drago that attacked their mother. Alec scolds Lucas for letting
Claus go, and Lucas runs off.
Alec believes the Drago that killed Hinawa is no ordinary Drago and knows
that Claus has no chance against such a beast. He tells Flint to get himself
properly equipped and come to Alec's house in the mountains.
b)Preparations
Go back to the town square and enter Thomas's Bazaar (it's right next to the
Inn). Thomas should have three items available on the counter; all of them
are free, and you can take whatever you want by simply examining an item. He
should hopefully have the Flea Charm in stock (it's pentagonal in shape and
has a white center). Equip it on Flint's "body" and discard the Mini-Mini
Charm if he had it.
NOTE 1: The items Thomas has in stock seem to change after storyline events,
such as cut-scenes, boss fights, and required NPC interactions. Time
doesn't seem to be a factor; I've tried waiting up to 20 minutes
while messing around in town and in the forest without Thomas
changing his merchandise, while triggering a scripted event that
took less time did the trick.
NOTE 2: Thomas occasionally has the Better Stick ("Mashi na Bou"), the best
weapon for Flint in this chapter (increases Offense by 20). I don't
know what the probability of its appearance is, but it's probably
pretty low.
(1C10)
Next, enter the house on the left of Thomas's Bazaar. This is Bronson's
house, and he will give you the Drago Fang he found in Hinawa's chest
(alternatively, you can try going into the forest without the Drago Fang and
Bronson will meet Flint on the way). The Drago Fang is a required item
needed to break a Drago's hard skin.
You can find Lighter on the western coast of Tatsumairi. Go to the end of
the thin peninsula and talk to him there to receive the Manly Bandana. Equip
this on Flint's "head" to increase Offense by 2 and Defense by 1. Discard
the Ordinary Hat.
You may also want to go to Wes's house on the eastern edge of town (his
house is across the bridge and up the ridge). Check behind his house on the
left to find a Thunder Bomb, an item that inflicts about 100 HP of Thunder
damage to all enemies on screen; the Bomb should be there even if you
grabbed it earlier in the night, as the gift box refills every time you
enter the Crossroad. You can get a second Thunder Bomb by going inside the
house and talking to Wes. Carry at least one or two Thunder Bombs if you
can't combo in preparation for a boss battle.
The Mighty Bitey Snake still lurks in the forest, so you should also carry
one or two Antidotes with you. You can grab as many as you want from inside
Isaac's house near the hot spring.
c)To Alec's House
(1C11)
Your destination is Alec's house, located way up north on the mountains. If
you don't know where it is, you can talk to Mapson in the town square and he
will circle its location on your map.
There are a few new enemies in the forest, most of which should pose no
problems for you. Use Flint's Swing attack if you cannot combo and end up
facing a group of enemies. Recover HP outside of battle using weak food
items such as Nut Cookies, Edible Mushrooms, and Nut Bread; save Beef Jerky
and Peculiar Cheeses for recovery during fights.
Another way to recover is by engaging the Walking Bushies found below the
cliffs and by the riverbank. Press the A button to enter into battle with
this "enemy." It will use Lifeup[alpha] on Flint until his HP is maxed out.
| EXTRA: THE BEANLING AND SOOT DUMPLING
| The Beanling and Soot Dumpling are two rare enemies that reward 538 exp.
| points and 1000 exp. points respectively when defeated. They both appear
| rarely, and the Beanling can be hard to catch since it moves as fast as
| Flint can dash and always runs away. The Beanling also likes to use PK
| Fire, so make sure Flint's HP is at around 100 before trying to catch
| it.
|
| The Beanling appears in the first burnt part of the forest just before
| Lighter's collapsed house; check the northern half of the area. To catch
| it, chase it into an obstacle and make it burrow into the ground. Keep
| running around until the Beanling reemerges from a nearby spot after a
| a little while. The Beanling will take a couple seconds to come out of
| the ground; this is the only time you can catch it.
|
| The Soot Dumpling occasionally appears in front of Lighter's House. It
| simply rolls back and forth and can be easily approached from behind,
| but it will disappear if you run towards it. This enemy has very low
| Offense but high Defense, and you will likely inflict only 1 HP of
| damage to each other. You must inflict 36 HP worth of damage with combos
| to defeat it; even a SMAAAASH!! hit will only inflict 2 HP of damage at
| most. Bombs have no effect either.
To get to Alec's house you will have to go to the riverbank in the forest
again and move further north from there. There are no new gift boxes on the
way to the riverbank.
When you reach the riverbank, you will start seeing Agitated Boars and Crag
Lizards. The Agitated Boars can only move in a straight line when they
charge; to approach them from behind, lure the Boar into charging towards an
obstacle, such as a tree or cliff, and run around them just before they get
to Flint. The Agitated Boar can be beaten in two to three rounds with combos
or four to five rounds without.
The Crag Lizards have decent Defense and should be attacked with combos. If
you can't combo and are at a low level (lvl. 10~11), avoid the Crag Lizard
altogether. Alternatively, you can try using Flint's Power Smash, as one
successful hit can instantly defeat the Crag Lizard. Recover with a Peculiar
Cheese or Beef Jerky during a fight if needed.
North of the riverbank is a gift box containing an Aquarius Bracelet. Equip
it on Flint and discard the Aries Bracelet if it was previously equipped.
Once you cross the bridge, head toward the right exit; you will not be able
to pass through the left exit for awhile. As the sign says:
"Ausakeki Mountain Pass.
I know how you feel, but stay away."
Plus, there is a trail of ants walking across the path, and you don't want
to step on them.

ENEMIES
a)Mr. Batty
�������肳�� "Koumorisan"
(A bat)
Mr. Batties can be found in the dark cave north of the Magypsy's house.
Use Flint's Swing when facing a group.
b)Crag Lizard
����g�J�Q "Iwa Tokage"
(A creature made entirely out of rock)
Type: Organic
Vulnerable: Freeze, sleep
HP: 124
Attacks
-Biting attack
Damage: 7~15 HP
-Tear into you
Damage: 14~25 HP
-Edge closer
Effect: none
Strategy
The Crag Lizard has pretty high Defense, and you'll need to attack with
good combos to inflict decent damage. Getting combos shouldn't be too
difficult, since the rhythm of the battle music is simple.
You should be able to win in about three to four rounds with combos. If
you can't combo and are at a low level (lvl. 10~11), avoid fighting this
enemy altogether.
You can also try using Flint's Power Smash ability, as one hit from this
move can defeat the Crag Lizard.
This enemy sometimes drops Beef Jerky (recovers 60 HP) when defeated.
-Flint: standard attack
Power Smash, if unable to combo
Beef Jerky, as needed
c)Mischievous Mole
���ȃ��O�� "Yancha na Mogura"
Mischievous Moles are found in the dark cave. You should be able to win in
one to two rounds with combos or two to three rounds without.
d)Titany
�^�C�^�j�[ "Taitanii"
(Looks somewhat like a lobster)
Type: Bug
Vulnerable: Freeze, paralysis
HP: 119
Attacks
-Swing its claws around
Damage: 10~15 HP
-Hypnosis[alpha]
Effect: put a party member to sleep
Comments: Alec can smack Flint to wake him up if he falls asleep.
-Raise its claws
Effect: none
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Titany in about two or three rounds with
combos. To combo against this enemy, time your button presses not with
each beat of the song but between each beat.
Without combos, it may take you as long as five to six rounds if you're
around level 12; try using Power Smash instead.
This enemy sometimes drops a Running Bomb (inflicts about 100 HP of
damage to all enemies on screen) when defeated.
-Flint: standard attack
Power Smash, if at a low level and unable to combo
e)Balding Eagle
�n�Q�^�[�J�[ "Hagetaakaa"
(A vulture)
Type: Organic
Vulnerable: Fire, sleep
HP: 80
Attacks
-Scratched with its talons
Damage: 15~25 HP
-Peck with its beak
Damage: 10~15 HP
-Perch on top a tree and rest its wings
Effect: recovers about 40 HP
-Has a big grin on its face
Effect: none
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Balding Eagle with a 4 to 7-hit combo or
in two rounds without combos.
This enemy sometimes drops Beef Jerky (recovers 60 HP) when defeated.
-Flint: standard attack
f)Tree
�� "Ki"
(A tree)
Type: Organic
Vulnerable: Fire, sleep
HP: 160
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 6~10 HP
-Vacuum attack
Effect: reduces Flint's Offense and Defense by about 20%
-Call for help
Effect: a Balding Eagle may join the battle
-Plant its roots into the ground
Effect: none
-Burst into flames (death action)
Damage: 150~200 HP
Comments: If you defeat this enemy last and end the battle quickly,
Flint should only suffer about 15 HP of damage from this
attack.
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Tree in two to three rounds with combos
or three to four rounds without. If a Balding Eagle joins the battle,
defeat the Eagle first before attacking the Tree.
This enemy sometimes drops a Nut Bread (recovers 30 HP). Use the Nut
Bread to recover lost HP after the battle.
-Flint: standard attack
g)Mecha-Drago
���J�h���S "Meka Dorago"
Type: Mechanical Chimera
Vulnerable: Thunder
Recommended Level: 12
HP: ~720
Attacks
-Biting attack
Damage: 10~15 HP
-Stomp with its huge foot
Damage: 20~25 HP
-Breathe fire
Damage: 35~45 HP
Status Effect: may cause burns (4% of max HP of damage per turn)
-Let out a roar
Effect: decreases Offense by about 20%
Comments: If the Mecha-Drago decreases Flint's Offense to less than 80%
of his base, use Charge Up twice to buff his Offense or use
bombs if near the end of the fight.
-Final blow
Effect: inflicts about 280 HP of damage to Flint
Comments: The Mecha-Drago will use this attack when it runs out of HP. If
you end the battle quickly enough, Flint should only suffer
about 30 HP of damage. Keep Flint's HP above 45 or so at all
times to survive this attack.
Strategy
Use the Drago Fang in the first round to penetrate the Drago's defense.
The Drago Fang looks like a white fang attached to a hilt (press SELECT
while in the inventory screen to see what each item looks like).
Use Flint's Charge Up ability in the second round to increase his Offense
by about 20%. With a buffed Offense, Flint should be able to inflict over
110 HP of damage with a 16-hit combo. If the Mecha-Drago decreases
Flint's Offense, use Charge Up again or use bombs if near the end of the
fight.
If you can't combo, use up any Bombs in your inventory after using the
Drago Fang. Thereafter, use Flint's Charge Up (twice if the Mecha-Drago
decreased Flint's Offense) and attack with Power Smash. Power Smash has
an accuracy of roughly 30%, but with a buffed Offense it can inflict
about 250 to 300 HP of damage.
Keep Flint's HP above 45 or so with food items and you should have no
problem surviving. This is the last battle of the chapter, so don't worry
about conserving any items for later. End the battle as soon as possible
to minimize damage inflicted by the Mecha-Drago's final blow.
-Flint (w/ combos): (first turn) Drago Fang
(second round) Charge Up
standard attack
Bombs, if Offense is decreased near the end of the
fight
Beef Jerky, Cheese, or Yogurt, when HP falls to 45 or
below
-Flint (w/o combos): (first turn) Drago Fang
(second round+) Bombs
Charge Up
Power Smash
Beef Jerky, Cheese, or Yogurt, when HP falls to 45
or below
WALKTHROUGH
a)Alec's House
Enter Alec's house and talk to him.
"Oh, you're here!
It's gotten mighty troublesome getting through the forest, hasn't
it...
What're those hard to describe flying mice with bug-like wings on its
back.
I think I got bitten somewhere by those things.
It's gotten better but...
No, no, no!
Forget about that!
I've managed to trace Claus's steps!
According to the frogs, the boy seems to be around my friend's place.
Let's get going!"
Alec will follow Flint back to the forest. He will occasionally attack in
battle but will spend most rounds doing nothing. He can also slap Flint to
wake him up if he falls asleep or restore about 25 HP when Flint runs the
risk of losing a battle.
Exit the house and head back towards the riverbank in the forest. On the
way, Alec will explain a few things.
"...Flint.
I suppose you're wondering what I meant when I mentioned the frogs
earlier.
The frogs are my friend's helpers. My friend can freely communicate
with frogs and lizards and whatnot.
See, there's a lizard right there! All we have to do is follow the
direction the little guys point us in."
If you talk to the red lizard in front of the house, it will spin around and
point you in the right direction to go. There are several lizards on the way
south, and they will eventually point you back to the riverbank in the
forest. Alec continues his explanations:
"...Flint.
Maybe you'd like to know what kind of person my friend is.
My friend, no, my friends have lived in isolation from long ago.
They're called 'Magypsies.'"
"...Flint.
You're walking a little slower.
Maybe you're wondering about these 'Magypsies.' The Magypsies have
lived for a long time protecting something in this world and possess
strange powers.
They're neither human nor beast, man nor woman.
I have no idea how old they are neither.
I suppose my explanation doesn't really help much, does it?
Anyway, they're weird.
All of them are weird.
Everything about them is weird.
That's what they're like.
But they're kind-hearted."
When you get back to the forest, approach the river and examine the frog
on the right. A line of frogs will form in the water and allow you to jump
across.
b)Magypsy's House
In the next area, you will find a cow and a hot spring. Talk to the cow and
answer "yes" to receive some Fresh Milk, a food item that recovers 80 HP.
After about a minute, the Fresh Milk will turn into Spoiled Milk (recovers
10 HP) and change again into Yogurt (recovers 80 HP) after about 10 to 15
minutes. The cow will only let you carry one jar of Fresh Milk at a time.
(1C12)
There is a lake in the area with a house standing in the middle of it. Walk
across the rock path and enter the house.
There are six Magypsies inside: Phrygia on the bed, Mikusolidia on the left
of the table, and Doria on the right. Aeolia is sitting on the chair in the
middle, with Lydia on the left and Ionia on the right. They look like cross
dressers and talk like stereotypical gay men, but they are not actually
human beings.
Talk to Ionia; he knows Alec and will introduce everyone. He will also
mention the seventh Magypsy, Locklear, who is not at the party. Alec will
ask them about Claus and whether they have seen him. Claus apparently did
come here, saying he wanted to defeat his mother's killer, and Aeolia taught
him how to use PSI. Claus then left for the Drago's territory in the
mountains. Alec gets mad at the Magypsies for not stopping Claus, but there
is nothing they can do except go after him.
c)The Dark Cave
(1C13)
Exit the Magypsy's house and enter the cave to the north. The cave is dark
inside, but you can see your immediate surroundings. You can see the entire
screen as well if you look closely; increase the brightness of your display
if you can. Alec (along with myself) will give you directions to the exit.
Walk north and then turn left. At the first junction, Alec will tell you to
go west. If you turn north, you will find a gift box that contains a
Peculiar Cheese (recovers 60 HP for Flint). It is guarded by three Mr.
Batties, but you should be able to take them out easily with Flint's Swing
attack.
Keep walking west and Alec will tell you to go north at the next junction.
To the west is a Crag Lizard and a dead end.
When Alec talks to you again, there should be a hole nearby. Fall into the
hole to go through a shortcut.
At the bottom of the hole, there is a gift box containing Beef Jerky
(recovers 60 HP) to the east. It is guarded by a Crag Lizard, which you
should be able to defeat in three to four rounds if you can attack with
combos. If you're at a low level and can't combo, avoid fighting it.
Walk south and then east to find another junction. Go south. If you go east,
you will walk a long way and eventually return to the hole you previously
fell through.
At the next junction, you can find an unguarded gift box containing a
Running Bomb (inflicts about 100 HP of damage to all enemies) to the right.
Go west to proceed.
Alec will soon stop you, and you will hear a strange sound.
"Was that you?
It was me, it was me, hee hee hee."
At the next junction, Alec will stop you again. Unfortunately, he forgot
which way to go and is not sure whether to go north or west. Go west to move
on. If you go north, you will hit a dead end and there is nothing there.
After climbing the vine, there is another junction. Go north. To the east is
a Crag Lizard and a dead end.
Go north and then west to find a second a vine. Climb it and then go
northwest to reach another vine.
At the top, walk west to reach one final vine and the exit.
d)The Desolate Mountaintop
(1C14)
Once you're out of the dark cave, head north into another cave. Climb the
ladder to reach a gift box holding Beef Jerky and an Amazing Capsule
(Instant Revitalizing Machine in EarthBound). Examine the machine to recover
all your HP. Exit the cave to the southeast.
The Titany and Balding Eagle can be found outside. The Balding Eagle can be
defeated with a 4 to 7-hit combo or in two rounds without combos. The
Titany, on the other hand, may take about two to three rounds with combos or
as much as five to six rounds without combos if you're at a low level.
Fortunately, the Titany has a pretty low Offense, so it won't cause much
damage. Remember to time your button presses between each beat of the
Titany's battle music to combo, just like with the Flying Mouse. If you
can't combo, try using Flint's Power Smash.
Walk east and cross the bridge to reach a gift box containing a Sprinting
Bomb. This item can inflict up to 150 HP of damage to all enemies on screen,
but I recommend you save it for an upcoming boss battle. If your inventory
is full, use or discard any food items.
Walk north along the cliffs to the west to find another gift box containing
a Fresh Lumber. Obtain this weapon, equip it on Flint, and discard your
previous weapon.
The other two gift boxes in this area contain Beef Jerky. Go north to move
on.
Some of the trees in the next area can move and attack Flint. You should be
able to defeat the Tree in two to three rounds with combos or three to four
without. Always defeat the Tree last in any battle, as it will burst into
flames when defeated and inflict about 150~200 HP of damage.
Flint and Alec will find a baby Drago playing with one of Claus's shoes. You
can pick up the Child's Shoe, but it is not required. The Shoe will not take
up inventory space.
The two gift boxes in this area contain a Nut Bread and Beef Jerky. When you
reach the second gift box, use the Nut Bread or any food item to recover
Flint's HP to near max.
e)Mecha-Drago
Move north to find Claus's other shoe. Alec will call for Claus but will
be met by a Mecha-Drago instead.
When the battle starts, use the Drago Fang in the first round to penetrate
the Drago's hard skin. The Drago Fang looks like a white fang attached to a
hilt (press SELECT while in the inventory screen to see what the items look
like).
If you can combo, use Flint's Charge Up in the second round (use it twice if
the Mecha-Drago decreased Flint's Offense). Flint can inflict over 110 HP of
damage with a 16-hit combo and a buffed Offense. If the Mecha-Drago
decreases Flint's Offense near the end of the fight, use up any Bombs in
your inventory before using standard attacks again.
If you can't combo, use up any Bombs after using the Drago Fang. Use Charge
Up (twice, if needed) and use Power Smash in every round. Power Smash has a
roughly 30% chance of hitting but can inflict 250~300 HP of damage with a
buffed Offense.
Use Beef Jerky, Peculiar Cheeses, or Yogurt to recover if HP falls to 45 or
below. At the very least, keep Flint's HP above 35 because the Drago will
use a final attack at the end of the battle that can inflict about 280 HP of
damage.
When the Mecha-Drago finally collapses, Alec will tell Flint to stay his
hand; there's no need to force the baby Drago to feel the same anguish Lucas
and Claus have to endure.
You will see a chapter summary after the scene.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The people of Tatsumairi Village may have never experienced sadness...
until today.
Whether it was sunny or cloudy,
everyone greeted each other with a warm smile.
The inhabitants of the forest all got along.
The strong helped the weak,
and they shared whatever was scarce.
But,
now it seemed the people of Tatsumairi were experiencing all the sadness in
the world. Everything was turning bad, and getting worse...
When? Where?
What? Why?
Did everything start to change.
The animals were being transformed like demented play things and were starting
to attack people.
Like in Flint's family, the mutual bond holding people together was being
severed.
Who are the suspicious group of Pig mask wearing men?
What is that strange flying object wandering the once beautiful sky?
And where is the still missing Claus...
The mysteries deepen,
and the story begins
...on a tragic note.

ENEMIES
a)Zombie Man/Zombie Lady
�]���r�}�� / �]���r���f�B�[ "Zonbi Man/Zonbi Redii"
HP: 95/87
Attacks
-Biting attack
Damage: 6~7 HP
-Be absentminded
Effect: none
-Be wobbly
Effect: none
Strategy
You should be able to defeat a zombie in two turns (one turn if you can
manage to get a 11~12 hit combo). These zombies seem to be vulnerable to
sleep, so use Duster's Hypnotic Pendulum if you want help in executing
rhythmic attacks.
-Duster: standard attack
Hypnotic Pendulum
b)Zombie Dog
���ʃ]���r "Inu Zonbi"
HP: 115
Attacks
-Biting attack
Damage: 10~12 HP
-Growl at you
Effect: none
-Chase its own tail
Effect: none
Strategy
It should take about two or three turns to defeat the Zombie Dog. This
enemy's battle music rhythm is slightly different from other songs.
Instead of timing your button presses with the tempo of the music, you
have to follow the bass line of the song. I've found it to be slightly
harder then most songs, but you should be able to get about 2~5 hits in a
consistent manner. The Zombie Dog sometimes drops Nut Bread (recovers 30
HP).
-Duster: standard attack
c)Mobile Grave
���邭�͂����� "Aruku Hakaishi"
Type: Ghost
Vulnerable: Thunder, crying
HP: 156
Attacks
-Fall on top of you
Damage: 35~45 HP
-Fall down
Effect: none
-Edge closer
Effect: none
Strategy
With the Mobile Grave's high Offense and Defense, it is essential you
attack with good combos. Even with 16 hit combos, it will take about five
or six turns to defeat this enemy. It may be better to avoid this thing
altogether, though defeating it will give you a respectable 60 exp.
points.
The Mobile Grave's battle music steadily increases its tempo from very
slow to very fast. To execute combos, time you button presses with each
quarter beat instead of each drum beat in the music (the drums sometimes
sound on each eighth beat). This is actually one of the easier songs to
combos with, so you should get the hang of it quickly.
-Duster: standard attack (with high combos)
d)Detached Leech
�͂Ȃ�ȃq�� "Hanare na Hiru"
Type: Bug
Vulnerable: Freeze, crying
HP: 61
Attacks
-Biting attack
Damage: 4~6 HP
-Blood sucking attack
Damage: 10~11 HP
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Detached Leech in one round with a one
or two hit combo. This enemy sometimes drops an Edible Mushroom (recovers
20 HP).
-Duster: standard attack
e)Spineless Lobster
�܂����� "Makkanchi"
Type: Organic
Vulnerable: Freeze, sleep
HP: 80
Attacks
-Swing its claw around
Damage: 13~14 HP
-Offense Up[alpha]
Effect: increase its Offense by about 20%
-Raise its claws
Effect: none
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Spineless Lobster in about three rounds
or so. The rhythm of this enemy's battle music can be a little tricky,
but you should be consistently able to get about five or more hits. You
can also use Duster's Hypnotic Pendulum attack to put this enemy to sleep
to help you combo.
-Duster: standard attack
Hypnotic Pendulum
WALKTHROUGH
a)A Mysterious Assignment
The chapter will begin with a flashback of when Flint got out of jail, only
this time you will hear Flint thank Duster. When Duster returns home, Wes
will assign him a task:
"Duster.
...not my son, but my pupil, Duster.
Listen!
The time has come...
No, it's not as if I was waiting for this moment. If possible...I
wish it had not arrived.
But you and I have both been preparing for it.
It's time for you to apply the things I have taught.
We still haven't seen the enemy.
But our way of life will change starting now.
Are you ready for it!
>Yes >No (if you answer "no," Wes will say a few extra things)
| Duster...
| It might've been better if we were born in a different time.
| I pushed you in your training when you were young, and the limp in
| your leg--and your reputation as a misfit--is all my fault...at
| least, that's what I think.
| If you want to resent me then by all means resent me. If that makes
| you feel better then resent me all you want.
| But...you cannot choose your answer.
| Duster, listen carefully!
| This is not a test. It is a command.
Duster. I'm going to give you your task.
Sneak into Osohe Castle.
There, I want you find a "Certain Important Thing" and bring it back
here.
That "Certain Important Thing" is...
No...
I shouldn't have to tell you.
As a thief, you should be able to tell the value of what you are
stealing yourself.
Still, do you want me to tell you a little bit about it?
>Yes >No (If you answer "yes," Wes will say a few extra things)
| It looks very, very important.
| How do I say this...it's shiny? Something like that.
| I'm not telling you anymore.
I have a few things prepared for you in the basement.
They are a thief's Seven World Wonde...I mean, a thief's Seven Tools.
Wait, were there seven?
Well, whatever.
Take them with you.
They'll come in handy when you get into a fight."
Walk into the basement and open all the gift boxes. These will be Duster's
special attacks in battle:
Wall Staple Siren Beetle
Hypnotic Pendulum Smoke Bomb
Scary Mask Tickle Feather
-The Wall Staple can solidify a target for two or three rounds. It has a
success rate of about 75% or lower against most enemies but does not work
against most bosses.
-The Siren Beetle makes an enemy turn around and do nothing for two turns.
An enemy with its back turned has reduced Defense. Using the Siren Beetle
on a sleeping enemy will wake it up. This item has a 75% success rate, but
it does not work against enemies that can't be approached from behind.
-The Hypnotic Pendulum makes an enemy fall asleep. Sleeping enemies cannot
do anything for several rounds but have a roughly 40% chance of waking up
if attacked.
-The Smoke Bomb makes an enemy start uncontrollably crying, reducing the
accuracy of their physical attacks by about 50%.
-The Scary Mask decreases an enemy's Offense and the Feather decreases an
enemy's Defense by about 20% the first time and 8% the second and third
times they are used. Both items have a success rate of about 70%.
Duster also has a couple of abilities that are randomly used at the
beginning of battle. When you encounter an enemy face-to-face, Duster has a
roughly 10% chance of getting in a swift kick before the fight starts. Also,
if an enemy approaches Duster from behind, Duster can occasionally get in a
swift blow before the fight starts or make the enemy turn around and give
you a free round instead. The swift kick has a roughly 20% of occurring and
the free round has a roughly 10% chance of occurring.
b)Tatsumairi Village
Exit the house and check behind it. There is a gift box hidden out of sight
that contains a Thunder Bomb, an item that can inflict about 80~120 HP of
electrical damage to all enemies on screen. Save this item for boss battles
or for when you are in a dangerous situation. The gift box refills every
time you enter the Crossroad, so come back if you want more Thunder Bombs.
Walk south and cross the bridge to the west. Mapson is standing on the
bridge, and he will circle the location of Osohe Castle on your map if you
talk to him (press the R button to view your map).
Go into the town square and attempt to head north. On the way, Duster will
bump into a strange man and a monkey. The man will apologize and they will
continue on their way.
Move north again to find Butch. Butch will show Duster a large sack and tell
him it contains "money." He sold his livestock to a traveler and got the
sack of "money" in return, even though nobody in Tatsumairi uses "money."
Duster doesn't know what "money" is and Butch isn't sure either, but Butch
thinks "money" will be important in the future and decided to trust the
traveler on the deal. He hides the sack in the well and makes Duster promise
to keep this a secret.
c)The Graveyard
Move directly north through the Crossroad and into the graveyard. Once
there, Duster will be attacked by a group of four zombies. Individually,
these zombies aren't too strong, but a group of them can inflict a good
amount of damage. Use Duster's Hypnotic Pendulum if you want to put a Zombie
to sleep and focus on defeating the other Zombies. If you attack with good
timing and get a 11~12 hit combo, you can defeat a Zombie in one turn.
Go directly north into the next area. Walk up to the edge of the moat and
examine the drawbridge. As you try to go back south, an ant will stop you
and explain how to execute combos using the "Sound Battle System." Go south
into the graveyard.
Aside from the Zombies, there are now Zombie Dogs and Mobile Graves lurking
in the graveyard. The Zombie Dogs aren't too hard, but the Mobile Graves can
inflict a large amount of damage if you don't attack with high combos. Even
with 16-hit combos, it may take about five or six turns to defeat it. You
should avoid this enemy altogether (unless you want to level up) and enter
the gravedigger's house.
Go into the basement and open the two gift boxes there. They contain Dried
Meat and Cheese, both of which recover 60 HP. Push the empty book case from
either side to reveal a hidden passage and enter it.
The underground passage is a straightforward area with some leeches and
lobsters lurking inside. The leeches can easily be defeated with a two hit
combo, but the lobsters have a pretty high Defense and you may want to use
Duster's Hypnotic Pendulum to put them to sleep.
There is a gift box here that contains a Running Bomb, an item that inflicts
about 100 HP of damage to all enemies on screen; save it for a boss battle
or for when you are in a bad situation. There is also a gift box holding Nut
Bread as well.

ITEMS
a)Battle Memory (Key Item)
���������̂����� "Tatakai no Kioku"
(A yellow book)
Use: view all enemies you have encountered and practice fighting them
Location: 1F of Osohe Castle, in the room next to the Ghost Merchant
With the Battle Memory, you can view all the enemies you have encountered
in the game and practice fighting them. This is a safe way to practice
executing combos since enemies will not attack and you can fight for as
long as you want. The Battle Memory will not take up inventory space and
will remain with you between chapters.
To practice fighting an enemy, go into the inventory screen and select the
Key Icon. Look for an item that looks like a yellow book and press the A
button. Select the enemy you want to fight and press START to go into
battle. To stop fighting, select the EXIT icon at the top of the screen.
b)Rotten Eclair
���������G�N���A "Kusatta Ekurea"
(A brown eclair)
Use: trade them with the Ghost Merchant for other items
Obtained: -by fighting Stinky Ghosts
-talk to one of the partying ghosts on the second floor
There is a Ghost Merchant on the first floor of Osohe Castle that will
trade Rotten Eclairs for some items. You can trade 1 Rotten Eclair for a
Fresh Mint or a Rope Snake and 2 Rotten Eclairs for Beef Jerky. The Rope
Snake is an item needed to progress in the game.
Rotten Eclairs can be found by fighting Stinky Ghosts. There is also a
ghost on the second floor of Osohe Castle that will give you as many Rotten
Eclairs as you want for free.
c)Rope Snake (Key Item)
�q���w�r "Himo Hebi"
(A red snake)
Use: can be used to cross over small gaps; needed to progress through the
game
Obtained: trade one Rotten Eclair with the Ghost Merchant
At a few points in the castle, you will come across some small gaps that
impede your path. You will need to use the Rope Snake in order to cross
these gaps and move on. The Rope Snake is regarded as an essential item and
will not take up inventory space.
d)Fresh Mint
��������~���g "Sukkiri Minto"
(Looks like three yellow flowers)
Use: cures nausea (unable to eat food items)
Location: -1F of Osohe Castle, next to a sign
-1F of Osohe Castle, near the Hot Spring
-Ghost Merchant
You can get this item while making your way to the first floor of Osohe
Castle or by giving 1 Rotten Eclair to the Ghost Merchant. Use it after
battles if Duster is feeling nauseous (indicated by a gray cloud).

Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Artsy Ghost in about three or four
turns. Note that, despite how fast this enemy's battle music sounds, its
rhythm is actually pretty slow.
The Artsy Ghost sometimes drops a Peculiar Cheese (recovers 60 HP).
-Duster: standard attack

Damage: 8~10 HP
-Tackle
Damage: 18~20 HP

this enemy.
The Ghost Armor sometimes drops Beef Jerky (recovers 60 HP).

Scary Mask, if asleep
Tickle Feather, if asleep

Damage: 18~24 HP
-Release a sweet fragrance
Effect: puts a single party member to sleep
Strategy
Use the Hypnotic Pendulum to put the Strawberry Slime to sleep, and use
the Tickle Feather at least once before attacking. The Smoke Bomb and the
Scary Mask can be used to reduce the effectiveness of this enemy's
standard attack, but nothing can be done about its stronger fluid attack.
Use a food item when Duster's HP falls to 40 or below. You will get a
Sprinting Bomb (inflicts about 150 HP of damage to all enemies) and 146
exp. points for defeating this enemy.
-Duster: Hypnotic Pendulum
Tickle Feather, at least once
standard attack
Beef Jerky, Cheese, or Yogurt if HP falls to 40 or below
i)Carpet Monster
�J�[�y�b�g�����X�^�[ "Kaapetto Monsutaa"
(A creature with sharp teeth underneath a rug)
Type: Organic

Damage: 10~15 HP
-Offense Up[alpha]
Effect: increases its Offense by about 20%
-Pull the carpet out from under your feet
Effect: trips (solidifies) a party member for two or three turns
-Growl
Effect: none
Strategy
It should take about two or three rounds to defeat the Carpet Monster.
Don't let Duster's HP get too low while fighting this enemy; it can
immobilize you for several rounds if it pulls the carpet under Duster's
feet.
The Carpet Monster's battle music rhythm is slightly different from other
songs. Instead of timing your button presses with the tempo of the music,
you have to follow the bassline of the song. I've found it to be slightly
harder then most, but you should be able to get about 2~5 hits in a
consistent manner.
This enemy sometimes drops Nut Bread (recovers 30 HP).
-Duster: standard attack
j)Ghost Knight
�I�o�P�i�C�g "Obake Naito"
Type: Ghost
Vulnerable: Thunder, sleep
HP: 200
Attacks
-Stab with its sword
Damage: 29~31 HP
-Swing its sword around
Damage: 39~44 HP
-Offense Up[alpha]
Effect: increases the Ghost Knight's Offense by about 20%
-Defense Up[alpha]
Effect: increases the Ghost Knight's Defense by about 20%
-Show off
Effect: none
Strategy
If you can combo, use the Siren Beetle and attack only when the Ghost
Knight's back is turned. Not only will this prevent the Ghost Knight from
attacking, but the damage you'll inflict will be equivalent to using the
Tickle Feather once. If you want to play more defensively, put the Ghost
Knight to sleep and decrease its Offense 3 times. The Hypnotic Pendulum
seems to work less often than the Siren Beetle, but you can reduce the
damage Duster takes by about 60% using the Scary Mask.
If you can't combo, you'll likely need to put the Ghost Knight to sleep
and reduce its Offense 3 times. Thereafter, use the Tickle Feather as
much as you need before attacking. If you have a Thunder Bomb, use it to
inflict about 110 HP of damage.
This enemy sometimes drops Yogurt (recovers 80 HP) when defeated.
-Duster: Siren Beetle, if you can combo
Hypnotic Pendulum, if you can't combo
Scary Mask, while asleep
Tickle Feather, while asleep
standard attack
k)Ghost Sword
�I�o�P�\�[�h "Obake Soodo"
(A floating sword with a face)
Type: Ghost
Vulnerable: Thunder, sleep
Resistant: Fire
Attacks
-Stab attack
Damage: 18~22 HP
-Continuous attack
Effect: the Ghost Sword hits twice
Damage: 6~8 HP per hit
-Has a big grin on its face
Effect: none
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Ghost Sword in about two or three
rounds. Use Duster's Hypnotic Pendulum if you want to put this enemy to
sleep and reduce its Offense.
-Duster: standard attack
Hypnotic Pendulum
Scary Mask
l)Ghost Shield
�I�o�P�V�[���h "Obake Shiirudo"
(A floating shield with a face)
Type: Ghost
Vulnerable: Thunder, sleep
Resistant: Fire
Attacks
-Charge forward
Damage: 15~17 HP
-Has a big grin on its face
Effect: none
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Ghost Shield in about three or four
rounds. Use Duster's Hypnotic Pendulum if you want to put this enemy to
sleep and decrease its stats.
The Ghost Shield sometimes drops Rotten Milk (turns into Yogurt, which
recovers 80 HP) when defeated.
-Duster: standard attack
Hypnotic Pendulum
Tickle Feather
Scary Mask
m)Rockin' Ghost
�I�o�P������ "Obake Mokuba"
(A white ghost riding a toy horse)
Type: Ghost
Vulnerable: Fire
HP: 152
Attacks
-Charge forward
Damage: 26~30 HP
-Jab with its spear
Damage: 16~18 HP
-Start a fight
Effect: attack another Rockin' Ghost
Comments: This enemy will only use this attack if you are fighting two
Rockin' Ghosts.
-Flash a disturbing smile
Effect: none
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Rockin' Ghost in two or three rounds.
This enemy sometimes drops Beef Jerky (recovers 60 HP).
-Duster: standard attack
n)Pseudoor
�g�r�����h�L "Tobiramodoki"
(A ghost disguised as a door)
Type: Ghost
Vulnerable: Fire, crying
HP: 215
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 9~13 HP
-Blow its stinky breath at you
Effect: makes a party member feel nauseous
-Shut its doors
Effect: reduce damage inflicted on the Pseudoor by half
Comments: The Pseudoor will not attack while its doors are closed.
-Flash a disturbing smile
Effect: none
Strategy
It should take two or three turns to defeat the Pseudoor. I would avoid
fighting this enemy altogether, as it can make Duster feel nauseous and
cause trouble if you've run out of Fresh Mints.
-Duster: standard attack
o)Mr. Passion
�p�b�V�������� "Passhonsan"
(A ghost conductor)
Type: Ghost
Vulnerable: Fire, crying
HP: ~630
Recommended Level: 11
Attacks
-Wildly swing his baton around
Damage: 27~31 HP
-Chuck a chair at you
Damage: 29~31 HP
-Fling candles at you
Effect: Mr. Passion hits twice
Damage: 8~11 HP per hit
-Attack with a barrage of flying furniture
Effect: Mr. Passion hits 3 times
Damage: 15~20 HP per hit
-Throw a mouse at you
Damage: 1~2 HP
-Get fired up
Effect: increase his Offense by about 20%
-Lose his mind in the music
Effect: none
Strategy
Before fighting the Mr. Passion, be sure that Duster's HP is near max and
that you have at least one Beef Jerky, Cheese, or Yogurt just in case
Duster takes a lot of damage early in the fight. Beef Jerky can be found
by giving 2 Rotten Eclairs to the Ghost Merchant or by fighting Rockin'
Ghosts.
Use Duster's Smoke Bomb in the first round to reduce the accuracy of Mr.
Passion's attacks. Use the Scary Mask thereafter to decrease his Offense
2 or 3 times to make this fight much easier. Use the Scary Mask again
whenever Mr. Passion increases his Offense. Use the Tickle Feather 1 or 2
times to quicken his demise.
-Duster: (first turn) Smoke Bomb
(subsequent turns) Scary Mask
Tickle Feather
standard attack
WALKTHROUGH
a)Castle Courtyard
Once inside Osohe Castle's walls, go directly north from where you emerge
and examine the lightly colored vertical band on the wall.
Walk west along the roof and attempt to enter the castle. You will be
interrupted by an ant that starts lecturing you again on executing combos in
battle. Enter the castle after it finishes talking.
The castle is filled with ghosts, spiders, and other creepy things. The
ghosts can burp at Duster and make him feel nauseous, preventing him from
eating any food items. They can be defeating in just a couple turns. The
spiders can likewise be defeated quickly, but they can solidify you with
their webs and make things a little harder.
The first door you see leads to a gift box containing Rotten Milk, an item
that will turn into Yogurt (recovers 80 HP) after a few minutes. Dash into
the status holding the giant ball to move on.
WARNING: If you dash into the statue from the right, the ball will drop on
Duster and end the game.
Do not open the gift box at the bottom of the hole. If you do, a ghost will
pop out and burp in Duster's face, rendering him unable to eat food items.
Go into the next room and open the gift box to find a Fresh Mint, an item
that cures nausea (indicated by a gray cloud symbol). There is a hot spring
coming up soon, so don't use the Fresh Mint yet.
b)Osohe Castle: First Floor
Go down to the first floor to enter the main hall. Examine the exit to the
south to unlock the main door into the castle. Go west to find a hot spring
and a Save Frog, as well as a gift box holding Fresh Mint.
(2C1)
Go north through the main hall to find three doors in the next room. The
middle door leads to a Ghost Merchant, who will trade you items for some
Rotten Eclairs. You can trade 1 Rotten Eclair for a Rope Snake or a Fresh
Mint and 2 Rotten Eclairs for Beef Jerky. Rotten Eclairs are brown in color
and can be obtained by fighting Stinky Ghosts. You can also get as many as
you want for free from a ghost on the second floor (see below). You will
need to trade at least 1 Rotten Eclair for the Rope Snake, an item needed to
progress in the game.
The door on the left leads to a gift box that contains the Battle Memory, an
item that allows you to practice fighting against any enemy you have
previously encountered. This item can be very handy for practicing combos,
since enemies will not attack and you can fight for as long as you want. To
practice fighting an enemy, go into the inventory screen and select the Key
Icon. Look for an item that looks like a yellow book and press A. Select the
enemy you want to fight and press START to enter battle. To stop fighting,
select the EXIT icon at the top of the screen.
The door on the right leads to a kitchen. There are two gift boxes here that
contain Rotten Milk and Beef Jerky. There is nothing you can do in the
basement for now.
c)Second Floor
Enter the doorway on the left and go up the stairs to the second floor.
Enter the first door you see to find a Chick Bandana. Equip it on Duster's
"head" to increase his Defense. The painting in this room will attack if you
turn your back on it, but it should not be too hard to defeat. Its PK Freeze
can inflict about 30 HP of damage, so make sure Duster is not low on health.
If you want to return to the hot spring to recover, check the fireplace to
fall through.
Three of the Ghost Armors in the hallway will come to life and attack as you
try to walk through. If you are caught in a fight, put it to sleep with the
Hypnotic Pendulum and use the Scary Mask to reduce its Offense; it has a
pretty high HP count, Offense, and Defense, so you'll want to reduce the
damage you receive in the fight. It will take about four or five rounds to
defeat this enemy with combos.
Several ghosts are holding a party in the next room. These ghosts are
friendly and can be talked to. Speak to the ghost eating on the right side
of the table and it will give you as many Rotten Eclairs as you want. You
will sometimes have to answer "yes" to its question and sometimes "no" to
receive one.
To the south is the kitchen. Open the gift box tied with the blue ribbon to
get a map of the castle (press R to view).
The moving jar on the table is a Strawberry Slime, a pretty tough enemy that
awards 146 exp. points and a Sprinting Bomb when defeated. If you want to
fight it, make sure that Duster's HP is at least above 40 and examine the
jar. Use the Hypnotic Pendulum to put the Strawberry Slime to sleep, and use
the Tickle Feather at least once before attacking. Eat Beef Jerky, Cheese,
or Yogurt if Duster's HP falls to 40 or below.
Go back into the party room and look for a dark, vertical band on the north
wall. Examine it to build a ladder to the third floor.
d)Third Floor
Go through the door to the south. When you reach two gift boxes, open the
one on the right to get an Aquarius Bracelet, an item that should be
equipped as "other." Discard whatever Duster was equipped with before. The
other gift box is hiding a ghost that will burp in Duster's face to make
him nauseous.
Return to where the ladder was and approach the edge of the gap. Press A to
swing across using the Rope Snake.
There is a Carpet Monster lurking under the rug here, but you should be able
to defeat it in two or three rounds (provided it does not solidify you).
Before talking to the ghost in front of the door, go into the room to the
left and save.
Go back to the previous room and talk to the ghost. It will tell you there
is a very strong monster behind the door.
e)Ghost Knight
Enter the room and open the gift box to get a pair of Durable Shoes. Equip
it and discard Duster's previous weapon.
You can fight the Ghost Armor and the ghost weapons in this room if you
want, but you won't receive anything other than 180 exp. points and possibly
a Yogurt (recovers 80 HP). You can fight the Ghost Knight by approaching the
Ghost Armor in the middle, or you can fight each enemy individually by
approaching the sword and shield first. The armaments aren't too hard and
can be put to sleep easily.
Defeating the stronger Ghost Knight will earn you 23 more exp. points than
if you fought each enemy separately. If you can combo, use the Siren Beetle
and attack when the Knight's back is turned. Not only will this prevent the
Knight from attacking, but the damage you inflict will be equivalent to
using the Tickle Feather once. If you want to play more defensively, put the
Ghost Knight to sleep and decrease its Offense 3 times to reduce the damage
Duster takes by about 60%.
If you can't combo, put the Ghost Knight to sleep and reduce its Offense 3
times. Use the Tickle Feather as much as you need after that. If you have a
Thunder Bomb, use it to inflict about 110 HP of damage. The Ghost Knight has
200 HP, so two Thunder Bombs will defeat it.
f)Fourth Floor
Move up to the fourth floor and check the shining object on the ground. It
is a pendant that the mysterious person dropped. You cannot do anything with
it now, but it will not take up inventory space.
Before moving forward, make sure that you have at least one Beef Jerky,
Cheese, or Yogurt for an upcoming boss battle. If not, you may want to get
some Rotten Eclairs and trade them for Beef Jerky with the Ghost Merchant.
There are a couple of Ghost Horsies lurking in the next hallway. You should
be able to engage them one at a time, and they should not be too hard to
defeat.
In the next room, there are some Barrel Men and some Pseudoors. All the
doors in this room are fake except for the one at the very end. These doors
can make Duster feel nauseous, so avoid fighting them. The Barrel Men should
be easy to defeat.
g)Mr. Passion
Enter the next room to find the ghost conductor Mr. Passion. Before talking
to him, make sure that Duster's HP is near max and that you have at least
one Beef Jerky, Cheese, or Yogurt. Talk to Mr. Passion and answer "no" to
refuse to listen to his music and start the fight.
Use the Smoke Bomb in the first round to reduce the accuracy of this boss's
attacks. Use the Scary Mask thereafter to decrease Mr. Passion's Offense 2
or 3 times to make this fight much easier. Use the Scary Mask again whenever
this enemy increases its Offense. Once Mr. Passion is rendered virtually
harmless, use the Tickle Feather 1 or 2 times to quicken his demise.
After the boss is defeated, you can examine the couch in this room to
recover Duster's HP. Walk into the next room and examine the Noble Spittoon
in the middle to take it.
Return to the previous room and examine the fireplace to fall down to the
first floor.
Go outside and talk to the gravedigger to receive the key to the drawbridge.
Examine the drawbridge to lower it down, and return to Duster's house.

ENEMIES
a)Clayman
�l���h���� "Nendojin"
(A gray creature with an antenna on its head)
Type: Mysterious Creature
Vulnerable: Fire, crying
HP: ~880
Attacks
-Throw a punch
Damage: 20~27 HP
-Tackle
Damage: 35~40 HP
-Fall on top of you
Damage: 55~60 HP
Comments: The Clayman will have reduced Defense and be unable to attack
for two rounds after it uses this attack.
-Be absentminded
Effect: none
Strategy
Use a Smoke Bomb in the first round to reduce the accuracy of the
Clayman's attacks, and reduce its Offense 2 or 3 times using the Scary
Mask. Attack with high combos and you should be able to defeat this enemy
in about six or seven rounds. You can use the Tickle Feather if you want,
but it likely won't shorten the battle by more than a round.
If you can't combo, the best strategy is probably the same as above,
though you may want to use the Tickle Feather 1 or 2 times. Don't bother
using a Thunder Bomb; it only inflicts about 45 HP of damage.
-Duster: (first round) Smoke Bomb
(second round+) Scary Mask (2 or 3 successful times)
Tickle Feather (1 or 2 successful times)
standard attack
Beef Jerky, Yogurt, or Cheese if HP falls to 50 or below
b)Pigmask
�u�^�}�X�N "Buta Masuku"
(A gun-toting soldier wearing a mask)
Type: Human
Vulnerable: Freeze, sleep
HP: 160
Attacks
-Fire a beam
Damage: 17~18 HP
-Let out a swift kick
Damage: 10~13 HP
-Say something nasty
Effect: decrease a single target's Offense by about 20%
-Lose his temper
Effect: increases his Offense by about 20%
-Apologize
Effect: none
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Pigmask in about one or two rounds. This
enemy sometimes drops a Bag of Pork Chips (recovers 50 HP).
-Duster: standard attack
c)Recon Mech
�������J "Teisatsu Meka"
(A round floating robot)
Type: Mechanical
Vulnerable: Thunder, feeling strange
HP: 90
Attacks
-Fire a beam
Damage: 11~13 HP
-Sound an alarm
Effect: a Pigmask may join the battle
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Recon Mech in one or two rounds. A
single Thunder Bomb will usually destroy this enemy.
-Duster: standard attack
d)Lingering Spirit
�݂��^���^�� "Miren Taratara"
(A floating flame)
Type: Ghost
Vulnerable: Freeze, feeling strange
Resistant: Fire, Thunder
HP: 65
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 3~5 HP
-PK Fire[alpha]
Damage: 15~20 HP to all
Effect: may burn its targets
-Reveal the tragedies of life to you
Effect: make a party member uncontrollably cry
-Flicker
Effect: none
Strategy
The Lingering Spirit has very high Defense, so standard attacks won't
inflict much damage. Use Kumatora's Freeze[alpha] (5 PP) instead to
defeat it. Duster should use the Siren Beetle to try to prevent this
enemy from attacking (the Wall Staple never works).
The Lingering Spirit sometimes drops Magic Gelatin (recovers 20 PP).
-Duster: Siren Beetle
-Kumatora: Freeze[alpha] (5 PP)
e)Osohe Cape
�I�\�w�}���g "Osohe Manto"
(A tattered cape)
Type: Ghost
Vulnerable: Fire, sleep
HP: 189
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 15~21 HP
-PK Freeze[alpha]
Damage: 35~40 HP
Effect: may solidify its target
-PSI Magnet[alpha]
Effect: drains PP from a party member
-Shield[alpha]
Effect: reduces the damage inflicted by physical attacks by 50%; prevents
combos
Strategy
Use the Wall Staple in the first round and you should be able to win in
about two or three rounds. If you can't combo, use PK Fire[alpha] (6 PP).
The Osohe Cape's battle music steadily increases its tempo from very slow
to very fast. To execute combos, time you button presses with each
quarter beat instead of each drum beat in the music (the drum sometimes
sound on each eighth beat). This is one of the easier songs to combo
with, and you should get the hang of it quickly.
The Osohe Cape sometimes drop a Peculiar Cheese (recovers 60 HP for
Duster; only 20 HP for Kumatora) when defeated.
-Duster: (first round) Wall Staple
standard attack
-Kumatora: standard attack
PK Fire[alpha] (6 PP), if you can't combo
f)Oh-So-Snake
�I�\�w�r "Osohebi"
(A sea serpent)
Type: Organic
Vulnerable: Thunder
HP: ~1235
Recommended Level: 14
Attacks
-Biting attack
Damage: 20~30 HP
-Whip its tail around
Damage: 15~22 HP to all
-Plunge into the water and cause a Tsunami
Damage: 50~55 HP to all
Comments: The Oh-So-Snake will not attack for one or two rounds after it
uses this attack. While submerged, it will receive half damage
from physical attacks but slightly more damage from Thunder.
The Scary Mask and the Smoke Bomb do not seem to affect the
tsunami.
-Coil attack
Effect: solidify a party member for three or four rounds
-Blow bubbles in the water
Effect: none
Comments: The Oh-So-Snake spends one or two turns doing nothing after
attacking with a tsunami.
Strategy
The Oh-So-Snake will generate a tsunami after it suffers a certain amount
of damage. Use food items to raise everyone's HP above 55 or so in the
fourth or fifth round in preparation. Try to use the Peculiar Cheese only
on Duster, as it only recovers 20 HP for Kumatora.
How you attack depends on whether or not Kumatora is over level 12 and
has learned PK Thunder and Lifeup.
WITH PK THUNDER: Give all of your bombs and food items to Duster before
the fight. If you're good at combos, use a Sprinting Bomb (if you have
any) in the first round and use standard attacks thereafter. Use Thunder
Bombs when the Snake submerges into the water after generating a tsunami.
If you can't combo, use all bombs before using standard attacks.
Kumatora should use PK Thunder[alpha] (7 PP) in each round.
If you recovered the party before this battle, you should have no
problems surviving. Use up your food items before using Lifeup[alpha]
(5 PP) if possible.
WITHOUT PK THUNDER: Before the fight, give all Sprinting and Running
Bombs to Kumatora and use weak food items to recover the party to near
max HP and PP. Give all Thunder Bombs to Duster.
Use the Smoke Bomb until it works while Kumatora uses up any Sprinting or
Running Bombs before using PK Freeze[alpha] (5 PP). With high combos, the
Snake should attack with a tsunami in the fourth or fifth round, so use a
food item to recover anyone with less than 55 HP then. When the Snake
submerges after the tsunami, throw Thunder Bombs while Kumatora uses food
items on whomever needs them.
If you can't combo, you'll probably want to level up Kumatora until she
learns PK Thunder.
-Duster (w/ PK Thunder): (first round) Sprinting Bomb (a red ball with a
white top)
standard attack
Thunder Bomb, while the Snake is underwater
Beef Jerky or Yogurt, if anyone's HP falls to 60
or below
-Kumatora (w/ PK Thunder): PK Thunder[alpha] (7 PP)
Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP), as needed
-Duster (w/o PK Thunder): (first round) Smoke Bomb
standard attack, with combos
Thunder Bombs, while the Snake is underwater
-Kumatora (w/o PK Thunder): Sprinting and Running Bombs
PK Freeze[alpha] (5 PP)
Cheese, if Duster's HP falls to 60 or
below
Beef Jerky or Yogurt, if HP falls to 60 or
below
WALKTHROUGH
a)Reporting to Wes
Once back home, talk to Wes to show him the spittoon Duster found in Osohe.
"Ahh, you're back earlier than I expected.
Show me what you've got."
[ Duster brings out the pot ]
"This is...?!
This sheen...
This feel...
It's exquisite and finely made and, in a way, shiny!
Looks pretty good, huh?
This is indeed Osohe Castle's legendary, noble spittoon that has been
passed down from generation to generation...
Good find!
I knew you could do it.
Duster.
You are...
...AN EVEN BIGGER IDIOT THAN I THOUGHT!!!"
[ Wes breaks the pot ]
"YOU FOOL YOU FOOL YOU FOOL!!
You don't know what to steal, and you call yourself a thief?!
Anything else?! You fool!
You're not hiding any real winners from me, are you?!
Are you trying to amuse me by acting dumb?
You fool."
[ Duster shows Wes the Pendant ]
"...?!
Let me see that!
...th, this is...
...not what I wanted you to bring me...but, perhaps..."
[ Flashback to the person who dropped the Pendant ]
"Duster.
I think that...
The person who owns that pendant...
Is the Princess of Osohe Castle.
Duster.
Your first task was a failure.
But this is no time for me to call you a fool all day.
I'll go with you.
We're going to Osohe Castle.
We're going to the room where you found that spittoon!"
[ Wes joins you ]
Unlike the other NPCs that have joined you before, Wes is actually a pretty
helpful character. He can solidify an enemy by throwing one of Duster's
stinky socks, use a Thunder Bomb, and can inflict about 110 HP of damage
with one of his special thief skills. His attacks are random, however, and
he still wastes some of his turns.
b)Back to Osohe
Check behind Duster's house to find a Thunder Bomb. This gift box refills
every time you enter the Crossroad, so come back if you want any more.
Go back to the town square and go to Thomas's Bazaar. Get the Flea Charm,
equip it on Duster, and discard what was previously equipped (the Charm is
pentagonal in shape). If the Flea Charm isn't in stock, check back after
triggering a cut-scene or fighting a boss battle. It can also be found in a
gift box in Osohe Castle.
Go north to Osohe Castle. Enter the castle and a couple of Pig Men will have
a Clayman attack you.
The Clayman is vulnerable to crying, so have Duster use his Smoke Bomb in
the first round to reduce the accuracy of this enemy's attacks. Use the
Scary Mask to reduce its Offense 2 or 3 times after that, and attack with
combos to win in about six or seven rounds. If you can't combo, use the
Tickle Feather at least once before attacking.
Your destination is the room where you found the spittoon. On the way, you
may encounter some Pigmasks and some Recon Mechs, but you should be able to
defeat them in a couple rounds; put the Pigmasks to sleep or use a Thunder
Bomb against the Mechs if you get into trouble. You can examine the sofa in
the Mr. Passion room to restore your HP.
c)Secret Door
When you get to your destination, examine the face on the wall. Wes will
open it for you.
"The treasure is behind this door.
It looks like someone's already opened it...
Must've been a short time ago.
The only person that could've opened this secret door is probably the
Princess.
...Duster.
This is a little embarrassing, so look the other way."
[ Wes starts dancing ]
"Don't look!
It's not like I'm sticking my butt out or anything."
[ Wes finishes his dance ]
"I'm sure I taught you this dance when you were young.
I've told you a million times to dance when you don't know what else
to do...
I suspect the Princess is further inside.
Those pig men are probably still back in the hall.
Let's go, and stay alert! You fool!"
Walk to the edge of the balcony in the next room and examine the area below.
[ You can see something that looks like a needle struck deeply into the
ground in the courtyard. ]
Wes:
"I believe that thing has been in Osohe from a long time ago.
I once asked the king of Osohe what it was, and the usually friendly
king looked at me sternly and said, "Forget about it,"
...I think.
I have a feeling I stopped thinking about it after that.
That's not the "Certain Important Thing" I was talking about."
Wes's uncertain tone is deliberate, and you'll find out why later.
d)Kumatora
(2C2)
As Duster and Wes enter the next room, they will be stopped by an exploding
projectile.
Girl:
"...!
Grandpa Wes?!
Is that you, gramps?!
Wes:
"Ah, Princess!
So it is you, your highness!
My, how long has it been!
Your highness's gramps...
has not been thinking of you only once in a while.
No, no, no!
My joy is making me say the wrong thing.
Your highness's gramps has forgotten about you only a little.
No, no, no...
Duster! You fool!
Get it together!"
Girl:
"Forget it.
I got my leg caught in this stupid trap.
There's no way I was going to let myself die in a place like this,
so I was just thinking about cutting my leg off."
Wes:
"Ho, ho, ho.
Reckless as always.
There is no need to cut your leg.
A trap like this is a match for my thieving skills!
No, no, no!
I shall take care of it; one, two, hup!"
[ Wes frees the girl. ]
"Princess...
You are now safe..."
[ The girl's pendant shines. ]
Girl:
"Hey, my pendant.
You stole it from me.
Jeez, can't let my guard down for a second.
Is this your son, gramps?"
[ The girl goes up to Duster. ]
"Hmm.
Your breath kinda sinks.
Your name's Duster, huh.
My name is..."
You will be prompted to give the girl a name. Her default name is
"Kumatora" (lit. Bear-Tiger).
Kumatora:
"...Kumatora.
Nice to meet ya!"
[ Kumatora moves to the front. ]
"...?
What're you doing.
Let's go!"
Wes:
"To where, Princess?"
Kumatora:
"Isn't it obvious.
Didn't you guys come to the castle for That, too?"
Wes:
"...but,
your leg..."
Kumatora:
"A little spit'll heal this right up!
C'mon!
Hey!
Gramp's son!
Be my escort!"
[ Kumatora joins you. ]
Kumatora is a tomboyish girl that specializes in offensive PSI. She can
learn PK Fire, Freeze, and Thunder, as well as Lifeup and Healing
for recovery. To use Lifeup and Healing outside of battle, press START and
select the third icon. Once she learns them at level 12 and 14, Lifeup will
appear at the top of the list and Healing right below it. Use Lifeup to
restore HP and Healing to cure status effects.
In battle, select the third icon from the left to use Kumatora's PSI moves.
Her abilities are organized as follows:
>Offense: PK Fire
PK Freeze
PK Thunder
>Recovery: Lifeup
Healing
PSI Magnet
>Assist: Hypnosis
Paralysis
Brainshock
Offense Down
Defense Down
Almost all PSI moves have a Greek letter suffix starting with [alpha]. Later
Greek letters denote stronger versions of an attack.
When Kumatora reaches a certain level, she will fall under a fever. While
feverish, white spots will appear above her head and you will not be able
to dash. After walking a few steps, the fever will go away and Kumatora will
learn a new PSI move. All of this will be explained by a "Wind of Gossip"
that interrupts you when Kumatora first gets a fever.
e)New Enemies
The enemies here are the Lingering Spirit (a floating flame) and the Osohe
Cape (a tattered cape). The Lingering Spirit has high Defense, but one hit
from PK Freeze[alpha] (5 PP) will defeat it. Duster should use the Siren
Beetle to make it turn around (the Wall Staple doesn't work).
Use the Wall Staple in the first round against the Osohe Cape. It's
vulnerable to sleep as well, but only use the Hypnotic Pendulum if you have
trouble getting combos (just follow the timpani). Use PK Fire[alpha] (6 PP)
if you can't combo.
NOTE: You will have an easier time against an upcoming boss if you level up
Kumatora to level 12 and learn PK Thunder and Lifeup. Definitely do
this if you cannot combo. Go back to the sofa on the 4th floor of the
castle to recover as needed while fighting the enemies here.
f)Secret Rooms of Osohe
The way ahead is straightforward. Whenever you reach a gap, press A at the
edge to jump across with the Rope Snake.
The first gift box here contains a Flea Charm. Equip it on Duster if you
didn't get one from Thomas's Bazaar. Don't give it to Kumatora, as she is
already equipped with the aforementioned pendant.
The next gift box contains Magic Gelatin, a food item that recovers 20 PP.
Save it for an upcoming boss battle.
On the eighth floor is a room with three brooms sweeping the ground. If you
touch a broom, the party will be taken to the trash can next to the balcony,
but that broom will disappear. The brooms follow a preset path, so study
their movements before proceeding. The two gift boxes in this room contain a
Sprinting Bomb (inflicts about 150 HP of damage to all enemies) and Beef
Jerky (recovers 60 HP).
On the ninth and final floor is a gift box containing Magic Tart (recovers
30 PP).
Before entering the double doors, use any weak food items to recover HP, and
use a Magic Gelatin (yellow jelly with a cherry on top) or a Magic Tart
(looks like a piece of pie) to recover PP.
If Kumatora has not learned PK Thunder, give her all of your Sprinting and
Running bombs and food items, while giving Duster all of your Thunder Bombs.
If Kumatora can use PK Thunder, give Duster all of your items.
You will finally find what you are looking for through the double doors.
Wes:
"Here, here."
[ Wes approaches the egg. ]
"I hid it over here.
Duster.
This is that "Certain Important Thing" I ordered you to get.
It's apparently called the "Egg of Light," or the "Hummingbird's
Egg.
Even I don't know what exactly this Egg is.
The Hummingbird's Egg is a secret within a secret, a collection of
secrets...or so it seems."
Kumatora:
"This collection of secrets is what we need right now."
[ Kumatora moves toward the egg. ]
"If we let this thing get into the wrong hands, it'll pour out its
secrets and...make things really bad."
Wes:
"Whether this Egg holds something hopeful or something terrible...
we don't know.
"But this Hummingbird's Egg is our secret."
Kumatora:
"Hummingbird...
It's pretty ridiculous this little Egg holds all the world's
secrets."
Wes:
"It is indeed ridiculous, but what's even more ridiculous is this fool
here.
Duster.
You weren't able to take a whiff of the secrets hidden and
concentrated like condensed milk in this Egg.
That alone makes you a fool! A failed thief!"
Kumatora:
"You shouldn't call your own son a fool like that. Besides, if he
really was a fool, he wouldn't know it.
Anyway, we can't let this egg fall into the bad guys' hands."
[ Banging on the door ]
"Speak of the devil!"
[ A Clayman rams the door. ]
"Gramps! Duster!
Let's hurry and get out of here!"
[ Kumatora grabs the egg. ]
Wes:
"Princess! Hold, hold!
I know the Egg appears to be just sitting there, but...
I have set a Trap on the Egg!"
Kumatora:
"Hm?
...a Trap?"
[ The party falls through a pit. ]
Wes:
"Priiiiiinceeeeeessss!!!"
Kumatora:
"My bad."
[ The party falls into a pool of water. ]
Wes:
"Princess!
Are you safe?!"
[ Kumatora emerges. ]
Kumatora:
"I'm okay, but...
...uh oh."
Wes:
"What is wrong?
If it's about that fool, then do not concern yourself.
I have been training him for situations like this."
Kumatora:
"No, not Duster, the Egg is missing!"
Wes:
"What?!
Not the fool, but the Egg is missing!"
[ Duster and the Egg emerge. ]
"Ahh, the Egg!
And with Duster.
Okay, okay, good job!
I've called you a fool 11 times so far, but I take every one of them
back!
You ain't no fool no more.
All's well that ends well."
[ A shadow circles under the Egg. ]
Kumatora:
"I don't think it's the end just yet."
g)Oh-So-Snake
The Oh-So-Snake will plunge into the water and cause a tsunami after
sustaining some damage. The tsunami will inflict about 50 to 55 HP of
damage, so keep everyone's HP above 55 after a few rounds have passed. The
Snake will remain partially submerged for one or two rounds after the
tsunami, during which it will receive half damage from physical attacks but
extra damage from Thunder. Use any Thunder Bombs if you can during this
time.
If you can use PK Thunder[alpha] (7 PP), have Kumatora use the move as much
as possible. Duster should use up any Sprinting Bombs (looks like a red ball
with a white top) from the start and attack with combos thereafter. If you
can't combo, use up any Running Bombs before attacking.
If you don't have PK Thunder, Kumatora should use up any Sprinting and
Running Bombs before attacking with PK Freeze[alpha] (5 PP), while Duster
uses the Smoke Bomb until it works. With high combos, the Oh-So-Snake should
use its special tsunami attack in the fourth or fifth round, so use a food
item on anyone with less than 55 HP then.
h)More Trouble
When the Snake is defeated, the water will drain out of the pit, washing the
party out along with it. Kumatora and Wes will end up on the riverbank in
town and be rescued by Lighter and his son, Fel. Unfortunately, Duster and
the Egg are missing, and Kumatora and Wes decide to go look for him.
Go to the town square and you will find Butch raising a ruckus.
Butch:
"Hey!
Wes!
Where the heck is Duster?!
Duster was the only one I told about the bag of Money I hid in the
well and now it's gone! That means Duster took it, right?!
That's my Money!
Lisa (a townswoman):
"Like we said before,
why do you even have something like that.
What in the world is Money!"
Brenda (A townswoman):
"Something strange is going on here."
Butch:
"Shut up, shut up, shut uuuup!
Aren't Wes and Duster supposed to be thieves?!
Since there's nothing to take in town you guys weren't doing any
stealing, but when you see something as good as Money you probably
steal it don't you?!"
Kumatora:
"Wanna make something of it, you little punk!"
Butch:
"Who're you supposed to be...
A friend of these thieves?
Violence is wrooong!
Violence, violence!"
Flint:
"...
Grandpa Wes.
Butch, everyone, why don't we just calm down.
Without Duster here, we won't figure out anything with all this
arguing.
The townspeople and I all trust you. Let's just wait for Duster to
come back for now."
Wes:
"That fool...
Hurry up and come home..."
You will then see the chapter summary.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The same suspicious group that deformed the animals in the forest have begun
to transform the town and its people. There seems to be something bigger
hidden behind the actions of the suspicious traveler who gave Butch the money.
But, it was not as if the people were wringing their hands and doing nothing.
Flint, with his family torn apart.
Wes and his son Duster, the good thieves.
Kumatora, the princess that suddenly appeared.
Fate is trying to bring together those who do good.
As for that timid Lucas...where is he now?

ENEMIES
a)Dung Beetle
�t���R���K�V "Fun Korogashi"
(A dung beetle on a ball of dung)
Type: Bug
Vulnerable: Freeze, sleep
HP: 43
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 3~5 HP
-Diligently roll its dung
Effect: none
Strategy
Fassad can defeat the Dung Beetle in one hit, so you can just sit back
and either defend or use Crowd Pleaser to prevent the Dung Beetle from
attacking.
This enemy sometimes drops Dung. Give it to the dung beetle next to the
oasis to earn 5 or 10 experience points.
-Salsa: Crowd Pleaser
b)Sand Lizard
���ȃg�J�Q "Suna Tokage"
Type: Organic
Vulnerable: Freeze, sleep
HP: 76
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 7~8 HP
-Stare at you
Effect: none
Strategy
Have Salsa use Crowd Pleaser to prevent this enemy from attacking. Fassad
should take care of the rest.
This enemy sometimes drops Nut Bread (recovers 30 HP).
-Salsa: Crowd Pleaser
standard attack
c)Sara-Sara-Sahara
�T���T���T�n�� "Sara Sara Sahara"
(A flying saucer that looks like a face)
Type: Mysterious Creature
Vulnerable: Fire, sleep
HP: 88
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 7~11 HP
-Shoot a baffling beam
Effect: makes a party member feel strange
Comments: If Salsa starts to fell strange, Fassad will use the shock
collar to inflict 1 HP of damage to Salsa and revert him back
to normal.
-Be swept around by the wind
Effect: none
-Clank its jaws together
Effect: none
Strategy
Fassad should defeat this enemy in about two hits. Use "defend" to
minimize damage.
-Salsa: "defend"
standard attack
d)Great Antlion
�I�I�A���W�S�N "Ooari Jigoku"
(An antlion)
Type: Bug
Vulnerable: Freeze, sleep
HP: 121
Attacks
-Attack with its pincers
Damage: 19~21 HP
-Throw sand in your face
Effect: makes a party member uncontrollably cry
-Suck you in
Effect: solidify a party member
-Taunt you
Effect: none
Strategy
If you're at a low level, it may be best to avoid this enemy. A couple of
Ant Lions can be found in a wide open area in the southern end of the
desert. They are stationary on the field, but they may catch you by
surprise if you dash instead of walk.
To defeat this enemy, use Crowd Pleaser until it works and use Apologize
while the Ant Lion is distracted by Salsa's act. Using both together
should solidify the Ant Lion for most rounds. Use Crowd Pleaser first, as
it has a higher success rate. If you don't want to deal with failed
attacks, use "defend" instead.
Fassad should defeat this enemy in about three rounds. If you have the
Bug Spray (looks like a rainbow colored spray can), use it to defeat the
Ant Lion in one hit.
-Salsa: Crowd Pleaser
Apologize, after Crowd Pleaser has worked
"defend"
e)Cactus Wolf
�T�{�e���E���t "Saboten Urufu"
(A wolf with a cactus on its head)

HP: 468
Recommended Level: 3
Attacks
-Cactus headbutt
Damage: 18~22 HP
-Biting attack
Damage: 9~11 HP
-Growl at you
Effect: none
Strategy
Use up any Running Bombs you have (it looks like a small purple ball)
and "defend" when you run out. Use Beef Jerky or Nut Bread when Salsa's
HP falls to 12 or below. Fassad should take care of the Cactus Wolf
before you run out of food items.
If you're low on food and bombs, level up to level 5 or so by fighting
Sand Lizards and collect the Nut Breads they drop.
The Cactus Wolf will drop Beef Jerky when defeated.
-Salsa: "defend"
Nut Bread or Beef Jerky, if HP falls to 12 or below
d)Violent Roach
���� "Are"
(A Cockroach)
Type: Bug
Vulnerable: Freeze, sleep
HP: 88
Attacks
-Standard attack

standard attacks thereafter. Otherwise, use Monkey Mimic. Use a food item
if Salsa's HP falls to about 20 or below.
The Gooey Goo will drop a Mosquito Charm (equip on "body") when defeated.
-Salsa: (first turn) Running Bomb
standard attacks, if you are good at combos
Monkey Mimic
Beef Jerky, if HP falls to 20 or below
WALKTHROUGH
a)Monkey Hostages
The chapter will open with a male and female monkey being held hostage by
the Pigmask Army and a man named "Fassad."
Fassad:
"Alright, Monkey!
Do what we tell you, or this...Girl Monkey is dead.
If you do what you're supposed to do you can happily reunite,
understand?!
You...
and her...
can both lose your lives, got it?!
[ Fassad shocks the monkey ]
"How's that? You like it?
That neat little collar on your neck is no ordinary collar.
It's a finely made device that can administer your 'Punishment,' even
if you escape to the edges of the desert.
By the way, Monkey,
you don't have a name yet do you?
You're going to need a name from now on.
We should give you a cute name, shouldn't we.
Nuheheheheh!"
You will be prompted to give the monkey a name. His default name is
"Sarusa," which is a pun in Japanese for "monkey" (saru) and "salsa." I will
refer to him as "Salsa" in the guide.
"Alright, Stupid Monkey!
Salsa!
Listen up!
If you want a nice trip with me, just remember two things.
You and I are buddies.
...don't even try to run away from me.
Always show me affection. Understand?
>Yes >No (If you answer "no," Fassad will shock Salsa and
repeat himself)
Good, good.
Second, always do as I say.
If I tell you to dance, then dance!
If I tell you to laugh, then laugh!
Understand!
>Yes >No
As long as you don't disobey me, you won't suffer.
Nuheheheheh.
What the...?
What's with that defiant look in your eyes...?
Dance!"
Press left on the control pad.
"Nuhahahaha.
What a funny little Monkey dance!
It's almost embarrassing to watch!
Dance something else."
Press right.
"Good, good.
Now laugh!"
Press down.
"Do a somersault!"
Press up.
"Good, good.
Well done.
We look like a bona-fide bright and happy performing duo."
[ Everyone else leaves on the ship ]
"...
Stupid Monkey!
Only cry when I tell you to!
Don't cry on your own!
I'll Punish you!"
[ Fassad shocks Salsa ]
"Hey!
How long are you going to lie there!
There's a round, white building to the west of here.
That's where we're going!"
Salsa is a pretty weak character who's only real strengths are his special
attacks:
Apologize Crowd Pleaser
Dance Monkey Mimic
Both Apologize and Crowd Pleaser will solidify an enemy for a few rounds,
but Crowd Pleaser tends to have a higher success rate.
Dance will have a random effect, such as increasing your Offense, Defense,
or Speed, doing the opposite to the enemy, or solidifying an enemy.
With Monkey Mimic, Salsa will wait until the enemy attacks him and use the
same attack against the enemy. Salsa will attack multiple times if hit more
than once, though Monkey Mimic will not work on status affecting moves.
Other than Monkey Mimic, Salsa's special attacks are not guaranteed to
work.
With Salsa relegated more to an assisting role, Fassad will end up being the
main attacker. His standard attacks can inflict about 60 HP of damage, and
he will occasionally throw a bomb that inflicts about 200 HP of damage.
b)Death Desert
(3C1)
Go to next area to find an oasis. Check the water to recover your HP, even
if it smells like dung.
There are gift boxes containing Beef Jerky northwest of the oasis, a Running
Bomb to the southwest, and Nut Bread to the south. Save these items for an
upcoming mini-boss.
Before moving on, you might want to level up Salsa a bit. The enemies here
are mostly weak, and Fassad should be able to defeat them in one or two
hits. Use Crowd Pleaser to avoid taking damage while Fassad attacks.
If you fight the dung beetles, they will sometimes drop a ball of Dung. Give
the Dung to the dung beetle next to the oasis and you will receive 5 or 10
experience points for each ball of Dung you give.
c)To the White Building
Go south from the oasis into the next area.
Near the entrance is a gift box containing a Luxury Banana. This is a food
item that recovers 120 HP, but Fassad will take it from you and eat it if
you open the gift box.
There is a wide open area further south, and two new enemies can be found
here. The Sara-Sara-Sahara is a flying saucer that Fassad should defeat in
about two rounds; use "defend" to minimize damage. The Antlion is a stronger
enemy but is stationary on the field and can be easily avoided if you walk.
A couple of them can be found here close to each other. If you bump into
this enemy, use both Crowd Pleaser and Apologize to try to pin the Antlion
down; use "defend" if you don't want to risk those moves failing to work.
Walk west along the southern edge of the desert to find Beef Jerky. Stick
close to the rock wall to avoid any Antlions.
There are three exits to the north you can take. To the northwest is a small
area where you can find a couple of Dung. If you want more of these, just
exit and reenter the area until you have as much Dung as you need. Give them
to the dung beetle near the oasis for some experience points.
There are two other exits to the north. The exit on the right leads to a
save frog that is trapped by an Antlion. Defeat the Antlion to receive a
Flea Charm (equip on "body"; Defense +5). If you took the Bug Spray from the
gift box in the previous area, use it to defeat the Antlion in one hit (the
spray looks like a rainbow colored can).
The exit to the left leads to your destination and a mini-boss fight. Open
the gift box on the way to find a Running Bomb.
d)Cactus Wolf
Before approaching the white building, go north to find an Aquarius Bracelet
(equip as "other;" Defense +5). Use Nut Bread if you have any to recover HP
before walking towards the sleeping wolf.
Use up any Running Bombs you have (it looks like a small purple ball) and
"defend" after that. Use Beef Jerky or Nut Bread when Salsa's HP falls to 12
or below. Fassad should defeat the Cactus Wolf before you run out of food
items. If you're low on food items and bombs, level up to level 5 or so by
fighting Sand Lizards and collecting the Nut Breads they drop.
e)Underground Highway
There is a gift box in the next area that contains another Bug Spray and an
area map. There are some Violent Roaches in the hallway but you should be
able to defeat them in one or two rounds. Keep walking south and into the
next area.
Fassad will stop you and explain that you are going to a primitive village
called Tatsumairi. It's some distance away, but the "Pork Bean" vehicle in
front of you will make the trip much faster. Open the two gift boxes here to
find Beef Jerky and an Ancient Banana (trips a single enemy to inflict about
50 HP of damage). You can also examine the Amazing Capsule to recover your
HP.
Walk down the ladder and Fassad will explain how to use the Pork Bean. To
enter, stand next to it and press the A button and answer "yes." Use the
control pad to move the vehicle, and press B to stop. Press B again to
disembark.
While on the Pork Bean, you can run over any enemy you encounter and not
have to fight. The Pill Bug enemies in the tunnel are nothing special.
When you get to the tank hangar, turn south and open the two gift boxes to
get a Chick Bandana and Nut Bread.
Reenter the Pork Bean and go west. Open the gift boxes to obtain Bug Spray
and a Running Bomb. Be near max HP and examine the slimes that are blocking
the ladder to fight them.
Use a Running Bomb in the first turn. Use standard attacks thereafter if you
are good at combos. Otherwise, use Monkey Mimic. Eat some Beef Jerky if
Salsa's HP falls to 20 or below. You will get a Mosquito Charm after the
battle; equip it and discard the Flea Charm if it was equipped before.
f)Tatsumairi Village
Climb up the ladder to emerge in the graveyard. Fassad tells you to go to
the Inn (Yado). Be careful as you walk out of the graveyard, as some zombies
will emerge out of the ground. They are not too hard and can be defeated
with standard attacks.
You can meet and talk to Butch when you get to the town square. Fassad will
ask Butch how he likes the bag of Money Fassad gave him earlier. Butch was
just counting how much was in the bag, and Fassad warns him to protect the
Money from any thieves.
Keep walking south and Fassad will bump into Duster. You will see a repeat
of the scene from Chapter 2, where Fassad apologizes and continues on his
way. Duster and Butch have the same conversation over the bag of Money and
Butch hides the bag in the well, while Fassad eavesdrops behind the well.
Enter the Inn and talk to the innkeeper. Fassad will ask how much it costs
to stay, but the inn does not take any money. Fassad will give them a bag of
money anyway, and Betsy figures they can use it as a doorstop. Enter the
room in the middle and Salsa will go to sleep.
In the middle of the night Fassad will wake up and go outside. Follow him
and you will overhear a conversation between him and the Pig Men in Osohe.
"...good.
You've reached Osohe Castle.
Wait 'till morning and then go in.
Everything is fine here.
What...?
You spotted somebody in front of the castle?
You just saw him, huh?
Then forget about him.
It's probably some drunk who's lost.
He walks with a limp?
I think I saw that guy too.
He has brown hair, acts a little gloomy, has bad breath, and looks
like a bum, right?
Don't worry about him.
...yeah, I'll let you take care of it.
Don't screw it up."
Fassad will steal Butch's bag of Money out of the well. Go back to your room
and Salsa will rush back to sleep. You can also run toward Fassad and get
caught if you want to.

ENEMIES
a)Praying Mantis
�J�}�L�� "Kamakiri"
Type: Bug
Vulnerable: Freeze, sleep
HP: 34
Attacks
-Swing its claws
Damage: 1~3 HP
-Raise its claws
Effect: none
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Praying Mantis with a two hit combo.
This enemy sometimes drops a Nut (recovers 5 HP).
-Salsa: standard attack

�悭��}�E�X "Yokubari Mousu"

Attacks

Damage: 15~20 HP
-Eat some food from his stash
Effect: the Greedy Mouse recovers about 10 HP
-Hide his food behind him
Effect: none
Strategy
Salsa has terrible Offense, and it'll probably take you awhile to defeat
the Greedy Mouse. Crowd Pleaser almost always works and can be used to
help you run away. If you want to fight, use Crowd Pleaser and Dance
while the Greedy Mouse is solidified to try to boost Salsa's Offense,
decrease the Greedy Mouse's Defense, or make the Greedy Mouse turn
around.
-Salsa: Crowd Pleaser
run away
Dance, while the Greedy Mouse is solidified
standard attack, if Salsa's Offense is buffed, the Greedy Mouse
is turned around, or if it's Defense is lowered
WALKTHROUGH
a)A Big Speech
Fassad will give Salsa a rude awakening the next morning. He will remind
Salsa to properly do his job in entertaining the town. If he succeeds,
Fassad promises to reunite Salsa with his girlfriend; otherwise, Salsa will
get more Punishment.
Walk outside and Fassad will start speaking to the people.
"Ladies and gentlemen!
Honest residents of Tatsumairi!
Why don't you all take a little break from your hard work!"
Press down on the control pad.
"I've come here today to tell you the wonderful news about Happiness!"
Press left.
"...the blue sky.
The white clouds.
Bountiful harvests.
Healthy livestock.
Loving families and kind neighbors...
There are many wonderful things in this town!
But there is something missing.
A nagging uncertainty in the everyday peace.
Are things really fine as they are now...?!
Weren't you and I meant for a more enjoyable life?!
It's not unusual for such questions to bubble up every once in
awhile.
Mysterious creatures never seen before are prowling outside the town,
and huge objects that look like balloons are flying in the air!
Why?!
What is this world coming to?!
Furthermore!
Furthermore, ladies and gentlemen.
According to some rumors on the wind, there will soon be Lightning
strikes occurring in this town everyday that will consume the forest
and fields with fire!"
[ A woman tilts her head ]
"Ah, you were just laughing there, weren't you ma'am?!
You're probably thinking that such a thing can't possibly happen?!
But I firmly believe what I'm saying will come true.
It's in times like this we want Happiness the most.
We want to live our lives with smiles and laughter.
That is the right way for people to live!
Now!
It's time for a little surprise!"
Press up.
"Happiness can be easily attained."
Press right.
"See my adorable monkey happily dancing...
Why, Salsa here has already found Happiness in his life."
Press down.
"Just how did little Salsa here find Happiness?
I'd like to ask those who are curious to raise your hands up high.
Those who want Happiness!!"
[ Four people raise their hands ]
"Okay, little Salsa!
Take the name of each hopeful person who wants to have happiness.
Please keep your hands raised, everyone."
Talk to each person who has their hands raised. Their names are Biff, Abby,
Isaac, and Abbot. They will tell Salsa their names and express a mixture of
curiosity and skepticism when you talk to them. After talking to all four of
them, talk to Fassad.
"Everyone!
All we want is for at least one of you to find Happiness!
Those of you who didn't have their hands raised, think it over later
and feel free to talk to me if you change your minds!
That's it for today's show.
May this town overflow with Happiness!"
Press up.
"Have a wonderful day!"
Press down.
"Okay, little Salsa.
Let's go back to the Inn."
When you return to your room, Fassad will get a call.
"Yeah. It's me.
What happened?
Did you get what we needed?
What?!
There was someone else in the castle?!
Just get him out of there, then...
What?!
You can't because he's too strong?
Alright.
I'll go over there when I finish up here. Find It by then."
(3C2)
When he hangs up, Fassad will tell Salsa to go to the graveyard and retrieve
the Boxes of Happiness hidden there. Go to the homes of those who raised
their hands earlier and give them one each. If you finish and come back to
the Inn within 22 minutes, Fassad promises to reward you with a banana. If
you try to escape, both Salsa and his girlfriend will get ample Punishment.
b)Stocking Up
Leave the room and talk to the blonde lady. Dance for her and she will give
you Nut Bread. If you want more, go to the baker's house near the west exit
of the town square and dance for the baker, and go to Hinawa's grave and
talk to Alec. You can also dance for Mike in Thomas's Bazaar for a Nut
Cookie. You won't be able to take any items from Thomas's Bazaar since
Thomas won't let Salsa touch his merchandise.
As in the previous chapters, you can check behind Duster's house to take as
many Thunder Bombs as you want. Just enter the Crossroad to refill the
hidden gift box. Take about 2 or 3 in preparation for a boss battle.
Go north to the Crossroad and enter the cave to the east. Open the gift
boxes to find 1 Old Milk (turns into Yogurt), 2 Nut Bread, and 7 Nuts. Give
the Nuts to Caroline the baker to receive a Nut Bread for every three Nuts
you have. If you run out of inventory space, discard any Bug Sprays you may
have. These gift boxes may become empty if you wait until after delivering
the Boxes of Happiness.
c)Carrier Monkey
Go north to the graveyard and head toward the grave you came out of earlier.
The four Happiness Boxes will be there, as well as Mapson standing in front
of a grave. Talk to him and he will circle the location of each person's
house on your map.
Examine one of the boxes to pick it up. You must find and talk to each
person that raised their hand, then go back to the graveyard to pick up and
deliver the next box.
Abbot and Abby's house is on the north side of the town square; coming in
from the Crossroad, their room is the first door on the left. These two are
brother and sister and will share one Box of Happiness.
Biff is at the ranch in the southeast corner of town. He is standing outside
his house.
Isaac's house is in the forest by the hot spring. On the way, you may
encounter some Mantises and Greedy Mice. The Mantis can be defeated in one
or two turns, but the Greedy Mouse will probably take too long to defeat.
Use Crowd Pleaser to solidify it and run away.
When you deliver all three boxes, return to Fassad. He will tell you that
you were just over the time limit and punish you. Fassad's next task for you
is to go with him to Osohe Castle and take care of the problem there.

You'll want Kumatora to use Thunder[alpha] (7 PP) as much as possible
while Salsa uses food items to keep everyone's HP above 45 or 50. Use
Thunder Bombs, Running Bombs, and Ancient Bananas when you can and use
Monkey Mimic when you run out.
After you inflict a certain amount of damage, the Pork Tank will break
down and the fight will enter its second phase. With the tank's engine
broken and gun jammed, the only way the tank driver can attack is by
tossing a tank shell at you to inflict about 20 HP of damage. The broken
tank has lower Defense, and Salsa can inflict decent damage with combos.
-Salsa: (phase 1) food item, if someone's HP falls to 50 or below
Thunder Bombs, Running Bombs, and Ancient Bananas
Monkey Mimic
(phase 2) standard attack, with combos
(phase 2) food item, if someone's HP falls to 25 or below
-Kumatora: PK Thunder[alpha] (7 PP)
Lifeup[alpha], as needed
WALKTHROUGH
a)Thomas's Bazaar
Now that Fassad is with you, Thomas will let Salsa take wares from his
store. Take Fresh Milk (looks like a white bottle) or Running Bombs (looks
like a purple ball) if Thomas has them in stock.
b)Osohe Castle
When you get to Osohe Castle, two Pig Men will tell Fassad what happened.
They have not found what they are looking for and they could not stop the
two intruders. Fassad gets a little upset and tells them to chase after
them.
Go to the third floor and examine the gap blocking your way.
Climb back down the ladder and Fassad will get a call. They've found the
intruders, but they escaped down into the basement with the artifact. Fassad
orders Salsa to go downstairs and find the entrance to the basement.
Go to the first floor kitchen and climb down the ladder. You'll soon reach a
room with three panels on the wall and a door that looks like a face.
Examine the three panels and check the door. When the four arrows appear
around Salsa, press left or right to start dancing. Fassad will reward Salsa
with a shock for a job well done.
If you want to save, there is a ghost frog that is initially invisible in
the next room. Walk along the left wall to find it. Climb down the ladder.
c)Castle Basement
There are two new enemies lurking down here, but both can be solidified with
Crowd Pleaser. Watch out for the Li'l Big Bro's tackle attack and recover
with a food item when Salsa's HP falls below 35.
There is a Pisces Bracelet at the bottom of the ladder. Equip it and discard
whatever bracelet you had before.
To the right is a fork in the path. Go up the stairs to reach a gift box
containing Beef Jerky. Climb down the ladder to proceed. The double-doors
are locked from the other side and cannot be opened now.
There are gift boxes containing an Ancient Banana to the left and Beef Jerky
to the right. The Ancient Banana is guarded by a Cheery Skeleton and can be
left behind.
Go left to find a lever. Fassad does not know what the lever does and orders
Salsa to pull it; answer "yes."
After the scene, a couple of Pig Men will come and tell Fassad that those
three had the artifact and got washed away with it. Fassad orders the Pig
Men to chase after them and decides to return to the Inn for some rest.
Go back upstairs and try to leave the castle. Your way will be blocked by
two arguing Pigmasks:
Fassad:
"What are you two doing!
One of you hurry up and get out of the way!"
Pig Man 1:
"Hey!
You heard him! Move!"
Pig Man 2:
"Mr. Fassad was looking at you when he said that! You move!"
Fassad:
"Shut uuuuuup!!
Who cares who moves! Both of you, get out of the way!!"
[ They both move the tanks ]
Fassad:
"It's almost nightfall already! You idiots!"
Pig Man 1:
"It's your fault, stupid!"
Pig Man 2:
"Mr. Fassad was calling you an idiot!
You're stupid, stupid!"
Pig Man 1:
"I'm rubber and you're glue, so you're stupid, stupid!"
Fassad:
"Both of you idiots hurry up and find them!!"
d)Escape
When you reach the town square, you will run into the argument that took
place at the end of Chapter 2.
Butch:
"Wasn't it you guys that let Duster escape?"
Wes:
"I did no such thing nor do I have a need to."
Fassad:
"Well, well, well everyone.
Who would've thought someone would steal the Money I kindly gave you.
...just as I thought, a dark curse is starting to spread through
this town.
We can't let this town be filled with villains who'll make everyone
cry.
We must all strive for Happiness...
This town is in real danger!"
[ Salsa goes up to Kumatora ]
Kumatora:
"..."
Fassad:
"Hm? Is something wrong?
Do you like that young woman?
Now, now.
I'll give you lots of Luxury Bananas later, so lets go back to the
Inn, little Salsa."
Back at the Inn, Fassad scolds Salsa for approaching Kumatora and tells him
to go to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Salsa will be awakened by Kumatora's voice. Walk
in front of the window on the right to find Kumatora and Wes outside.
They've come to help Salsa escape and take him with them.
Outside, the group tries to set him free.
Wes:
"You're safe now."
Kumatora:
"I didn't think you were a friend of that Cheating Liar. He forced you
into following him, right? Poor thing."
Wes:
"Princess. You did a good thing.
Now, we should go find that fool, I mean Duster wandering around with
the Egg somewhere and give him a good scolding. A fool like him won't
get hurt or sick anywhere or at any time."
Kumatora:
"Yeah.
All we have to do is find Duster and the Egg with him.
But let's free this Monkey first.
Gramps, sneak into that Cheating Liar's room while he's still asleep
and steal that zapping machine from him."
Wes:
"Oh yes.
I should've stolen it earlier. Just a second."
[ Wes leaves ]
Kumatora:
"Just a little bit longer, Monkey, and you'll be free.
It must've been tough."
[ Salsa gets shocked ]
Wes:
"Monkey.
I've stolen the machine.
I pressed it a little on my way back, but you didn't get shocked did
you?
Sorry, sorry."
Kumatora:
"Monkey.
Go ahead and smash it."
[ Salsa breaks the machine ]
Kumatora:
"Go, Monkey. Go wherever you want. You're free now.
...is there a reason you can't run away? What is it?
I see, your Girlfriend is held hostage...a monkey hostage, huh.
Damn that Cheating Liar. What a dirty scumbag!"
Fassad:
"Yes, yes, did someone call me?
I am that dirty, Cheating Liar...
...how dare you call me that!"
[ Fassad and a group of Pigmasks approach ]
Fassad:
"Fancy meeting you here, Princess Kumatora...
Nuheheheheh."
Stupid Monkey!
Thought you could escape, did you?!"
Kumatora:
"Of course he'll escape!
We're going to set him free!
(Gramps, Monkey, you guys ready?)
(On the count of one, two, three...)"
[ Wes and Salsa run away ]
"(...we'll run away! Got it?)"
[ Kumatora turns around ]
"(...man, they're fast)"
[ Kumatora runs away ]
Fassad:
"Get them!
Don't let them escape!"
[ Fassad calls on his phone ]
"They're heading your way!
...I see. In that case, stand by. I'll be there soon."
[ Fassad eats a banana ]
"Heh heh heh heh...
You're not going anywhere.
Nuheh, Nuheheheheh!"
Flee towards the forest when you regain control of the party. On the way,
you may bump into some Pigmasks and Recon Bots. Use PK Freeze[alpha] (5 PP)
to take care of the Pigmasks and use PK Thunder[alpha] (7 PP) to defeat the
Recon Bots. Nothing Salsa can do will be very effective, but Crowd Pleaser
has a decent chance of working on both enemies.
Enter the hot spring to recover HP/PP (for some reason, Isaac will not
answer the door if you try to enter his house).
Before heading deeper into the forest, give your best food and offensive
items to Salsa. If you're short on food, fight some Pigmasks and stock up on
the Bag of Pork Chips they drop.
e)Pork Tank
Move as far north as you can then backtrack a bit south. Watch the scene.
Kumatora will be the main attacker in the fight against the Pork Tank, while
Salsa uses food items to keep everyone alive. Use PK Thunder[alpha] (7 PP)
as much as possible and use Beef Jerky or Yogurt when someone's HP falls
below 45 or 50. Have Salsa use Thunder Bombs, Running Bombs, or Ancient
Bananas when he gets the chance; use Monkey Mimic when he runs out.
The Pork Tank will break down after receiving roughly 1100 HP of damage. The
Pork Tank will not be able to move or fire its cannon while broken, but the
tank driver will occasionally toss a tank shell to inflict about 20 HP of
damage. The broken Pork Tank has lower Defense, and Salsa can inflict decent
damage with combos. Keep hammering away at the piece of scrap metal to
completely destroy it.
Watch the final scene of the chapter after the battle:
Fassad:
"Well, Princess Kumatora.
Why don't we have you surrender peaceably to us, hm?
[ Lucas comes ambling in ]
Fassad:
"Who are you?
Get out of here, kid!"
Pig Men:
"Shoo! Shoo!"
"Go away!"
"Little kid, little kid!"
[ Lucas whistles and a baby Drago appears ]
Fassad:
"Oh my pork!
What's a Drago kid doing here?
Get out of here, Drago kid!"
Pig Men:
"Shoo! Shoo!"
"Go away!"
"Little kid, little kid!"
When the baby Drago roars, an adult Drago will appear and scare away
Fassad's men.
Fassad:
"Hey!
Get back here!
Oh...em...st...
Stop, refrain, abstain, please!"
Kumatora:
"Ha ha ha.
Feel good, Monkey?"
[ Salsa whistles and the Drago knocks Fassad away ]
Fassad:
"Owwwwwiiiieeeeee!"
With Fassad taken care of and Salsa free (well, maybe not yet his
girlfriend...), the chapter draws to a close:
Wes:
"Lucas,
I heard you've just been crying after your mother died, but it looks
like you're doing fine.
We're safe thanks to you.
Thank you, Lucas."
Kumatora:
"I guess this is hello.
Hello!
And thanks!
You saved us even though you didn't know what was going on.
I know it's late, but why don't you have gramps here tell you what
happened."
Wes:
"Very well, I'll explain.
Lucas, you'll listen to my story, won't you?
>Yes >No (It does not matter what you answer)
[ Wes tells the story ]
Wes:
"...and that's what happened.
No, Lucas, I want you to stay here in Tatsumairi.
I'm sure Claus will come back soon.
Work with Flint and protect this town.
Yes, I'll do whatever little I can to help too.
Princess!
Please take care of the Monkey.
As well as...the search for that fool."
Kumatora:
"Lucas,
I have a feeling we're going to meet again.
Don't screw up, alright!
Okay, Monkey!
Let's go!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tatsumairi Village is changing according to the newly arrived peddler's plans.
Only a few people were aware that everything that was once good about the town
was being broken down and thrown away. The townsfolk were becoming prosperous,
but they were also falling deeper into a treacherous darkness.
However, within that darkness, a weak little boy was starting to become
stronger.
Lucas is now trying to change this sad story into a bright one.
The darker the night is, the brighter the sunrise will be. The once timid
Lucas is about to become that sunrise.

Use: inflicts Thunder damage to all enemies on screen; occasionally causes
paralysis
Base Damage: 85~95 HP
Location: gift box behind the Silver House (previously Duster's house)
As in the previous chapters, there is a hidden gift box containing a

refills every time you enter the Crossroad. Keep this item in Boney's
inventory.
b)Pisces Bracelet
�����̂��ł� "Uo no Udewa"

�Ȃ��Ȃ��J�[�h�P "Nazo Nazo Kaado 1"
(A yellow card with a question mark icon)
Use: use against human type enemies (Pigmasks and their variants) in battle
Location: gift box in the Inn
Use the Trivia Card against a Pigmask enemy in battle to read them a trivia
question. What answer they give depends on what type of Pigmask you are
fighting. Some of them will answer correctly, while others will not. The
answer to this card is "older sister."
As far as I know, there is no use for the Trivia Card. It's just a weird
item in a weird game.

after a few minutes or a Hot Spring Egg if you enter a hot spring).
-Lucas: standard attack
-Boney: standard attack
b)Really Flying Mouse
�g�r�}�E�X�g�r�}�E�X "Tobimausu Tobimausu"

You should be able to defeat the Really Flying Mouse in one or two turns.
This enemy sometimes drops a Bread Roll (recovers 60 HP).
-Lucas: standard attack
-Boney: standard attack
c)Grated Yammonster
���g���� "Bake Tororo"
(A brown thing with a propeller on its head)
Type: Organic
Vulnerable: Freeze, feeling strange
HP: 387
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 50~70 HP
-PK Freeze[beta]
Damage: 90~130 HP
Effect: may solidify its target
-Spew out mucous
Effect: solidify a target for a few turns
Strategy
Avoid fighting the Grated Yammonster. It's too powerful for you now, and
it's easy to run around because it's stationary.
-Lucas: run away
d)Black Beanling
����}���`�R "Kuro Mamechiko"
(A black bean-shaped creature with a leaf growing on its head)
Type: Mysterious Creature
Vulnerable: Freeze, crying

-PK Fire[beta]
Damage: 80~100 HP to all
-Hop up and down
Effect: none
-Run away
Effect: end the battle
Strategy
The Black Beanling is a rare enemy that rewards 16,080 experience points,
enough to level up Lucas and Boney by about 13 or 14 levels at the
beginning of this chapter. Don't try to hunt for this enemy until Lucas
has learned PSI. It appears between Isaac and Lighter's houses in
Sunshine Forest (this place used to be the first burnt part of the
forest); check the southern half of the area.
Be near max HP before trying to fight the Black Beanling. It likes to use
PK Fire, and the more time you spend recovering, the more likely the
Beanling will run away and disappear.
The Black Beanling looks like a small, hopping bean outside of battle. It
moves as fast as Lucas can dash and always tries to run away. When the
Black Beanling runs into an obstacle and can no longer move away from
Lucas, it will burrow into the ground. It will reemerge a few seconds
later from a nearby spot. This is the only time you can catch the
Beanling, as it takes a couple seconds to come out of the ground.
Use Lucas's PK Love[alpha] (10 PP) to defeat the Black Beanling in two or
three rounds. Boney should try to keep everyone alive with food items and
use Thunder Bombs when possible.
-Lucas: PK Love[alpha] (10 PP)
Lifeupa[alpha] (5 PP), if heavily wounded
-Boney: food items, when HP is not near max
Thunder Bombs

Attacks
-Drill attack
Damage: 35~38 HP
-Call for help
Effect: another Reconstructed Mole may join the battle
-Has a big grin on its face

Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Reconstructed Mole in one or two rounds.
-Lucas: standard attack
-Boney: standard attack
f)Big Spud Bug
�����������ނ� "Ookoimomushi"
(Resembles a purple caterpillar)
Type: Bug
Vulnerable: Freeze, crying
HP: 280
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 55~60 HP
-Hypnosis[alpha]
Effect: puts a single target to sleep
-Has a big grin on its face
Effect: none
Strategy
Use PK Love[alpha] if you are fighting a group of Big Spud Bugs and if
Lucas has learned PSI. Otherwise, you should be able to defeat this enemy
in about one or two rounds with good combos. Don't get into a fight until
you are properly equipped.
-Lucas: standard attack
PK Love[alpha], if learned
-Boney: standard attack
g)Ramblin' Mushroom
���邭�L�m�R "Aruku Kinoko"

Type: Organic
Vulnerable: Fire, paralysis
HP: 178
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 9~11 HP
-Scatter its spores
Effect: makes a single target feel strange
-Be absentminded
Effect: none
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Ramblin' Mushroom in two or three turns.
If a party member starts feeling strange from this enemy, your movement
control will be reversed outside of battle. The effect will wear off in a
few seconds, but you can use Healing[alpha] (4 PP) to revert back to
normal quickly.
This enemy sometimes drops an Edible Mushroom (recovers 20 HP).
-Lucas: standard attack
-Boney: standard attack
h)Squawking Stick
�Ԃ傤�ڂ� "Bunchou Bou"

Type: Organic Chimera
Vulnerable: Fire, feeling strange
HP: 160
Attacks
-Peck with its beak
Damage: 10~20 HP
-Cry "Chirp-chirp"
Effect: one or two additional enemies may join the fight; will not work
if 3 enemies are already on screen
-Lifeup[alpha]
Effect: recover about 60 to 70 HP for one target
-Spin around
Effect: none
Strategy
Always attack and defeat the Squawking Stick first. Use PK Love[alpha]
(10 PP) if you get overwhelmed by multiple enemies.
The combo rhythm of this enemy's battle music is unique. The first two
beats are slow and are followed by three quick beats--the beginning of
the song introduces the pattern.
This enemy sometimes drops a Stick (increases Offense by 2).
-Lucas: standard attack
PK Love[alpha] (10 PP)
-Boney: standard attack
i)Muttshroom
���̂����� "Kinoko Inu"
(A dog with a mushroom for a head)

Damage: 60~70 HP
-Thrash around
Damage: 95~105 HP to all

Strategy
The Cattlesnake is way too powerful for you now and should be avoided. If
you manage to defeat it, you will get 536 experience points and possibly
Fresh Milk (turns into Yogurt in a few minutes).
-Lucas: run away
WALKTHROUGH
a)The Setting
You can think of the first three chapters as something of a long prologue.
You finally get to control the main character of the game starting in this
chapter, and you will control him until the end. The real meat of the game
starts here, and things are going to get a little harder.
A lot has changed in Tatsumairi Village during the past three years. Most of
the townsfolk are unaware of how bad the Pig Men are and have allowed them
to transform and modernize the town. Almost everyone has placed a Box of
Happiness in their home, and houses that don't have a Box of Happiness get
struck by lightning on a regular basis. Lucas is one of the few that don't
trust the Pig men and does not have a Box of Happiness. As a result, his
house gets struck by lightning the most, and his home has become famous
because of it. The townsfolk are not sure whether the lightning is natural
or man-made.
Meanwhile, Flint spends most of his days paying his respects at Hinawa's
grave and going into the mountains to continue searching for Claus. Wes's
house has been turned into the "Silver House" retirement home where Alec now
lives--Alec did not have a Box of Happiness, and his house was destroyed by
"a million" lightning strikes. The ranch in the southeast corner of town was
bought by Fassad and is now a training ground for the Pig Army, and Leder is
mysteriously missing from the Crossroad. There are also more people in the
village, though none of them have names like the original townspeople.
b)Rise and Shine
EarthBound fans will be treated with a familiar opening at the start of this
chapter. When Lucas wakes up, walk in front of the mirror and change your
clothes. If you try to go outside without changing, you'll see a flashback
of Lucas's mother scolding him:
"Are you planning to play outside with your pajamas on?"
Talk to Boney and he'll agree to take Lucas for a walk. Boney will stay with
you until the end of the game. His Offense, Defense, and HP are pretty low,
but he has high Speed and will often attack first. Give him any food and
offensive items you find. If you can read Japanese, use his special "sniff"
ability to learn enemy weaknesses.
A save frog will stop you as you head for the town square. Talk to the frog
to learn the basics of money. Buying goods is no longer free like it was
three years ago, and you'll have to start using "Dragon Power" (DP) to buy
things. The save frogs will act like ATMs from which you can deposit or
withdraw DP:
"*Boing*
Do you need something?
>Yes >No
Would you like to save or would you like a DP transaction?
>Save >DP Transaction"
Select "DP Transaction" to open your DP account. Press R to withdraw and L
to deposit from the account window. Your DP balance will automatically
increase as you win fights. Your balance will never decrease as long as you
don't make a withdrawal, but any money you have on hand will be cut in half
if you lose a fight. Press START outside of battle to view how much money
you have on hand.
Move north into the town square. There, you will find Fassad peddling
Happiness again in the center of town. He will simply ignore you if you talk
to him.
NOTE: There is a gift box in the Inn containing an item called the Trivia
Card 1. "Use" this item when fighting a Pigmask soldier to ask him the
question written on the card. Whether you get the right answer or not
depends on what kind of Pigmask you are fighting. There are 4 Trivia
Cards that can be found in the game, and the types of Pigmasks that
give you the right answer are different for each card.
As far as I know, there is no secret associated with these cards.
They're just weird and useless.
(4C1)
In the Crossroad are three gift boxes that contain Beef Jerky, a Sprinting
Bomb, and a Bread Roll (recovers 60 HP). There is also a man here standing
next to a cart. This man will store items for you when you need space in the
party's inventory but don't want to throw something away. His services are
free, and he can be found at various locations.
Walk onto the train station platform to catch Bronson and Jackie disembark
from a train.
Bronson:
"What're you talking about, Jackie.
There's no way."
Jackie:
"But we have no idea where Duster is since he disappeared 3 years ago,
right?
There's no doubt about it."
Bronson:
"Yes there is doubt about it!
Oh.
Hey, Lucas.
What?
Oh, it's just that,
there's a live house called 'Club Titiboo' behind the 'Factory,' and
there's a bass player there that looks a lot like Duster...
Jackie here says he's sure it's him."
Jackie:
"But he looks so much like him...
I think we should tell Wes."
Bronson:
"I'd do that if it were a sure thing,
but if we're wrong we'll just be disappointing Wes.
All we saw was a guy that looks like Duster.
That's it.
We don't know anything else.
Now, let's just go home and grab us some dinner and watch the
Happiness Box."
Jackie:
"I can agree to that!
I'm starving."
Bronson:
"See you, Lucas.
Say 'hi' to Flint for me."
Go back south into the town square. You'll see Wes confront Fassad.
Wes:
"Fassad!
Don't mess up this town anymore!"
[ Wes approaches ]
Wes:
"Today's Lightning strike was suspicious!
I know you're somehow controlling these Lightning bolts.
Leave this place!
Stop meddling with this town!"
Fassad:
"Well, if it isn't old man Wes.
Happiness will escape you if you keep swelling the veins on your
forehead, you know?
You'll become a Baldy instead.
I have no idea what you are talking about.
Now, we don't want you to trip and give yourself a Boo-Boo or turn
into a Baldy, so take care and go on home."
[ A Pigmask pulls a net over Wes ]
Wes:
"Stop this violence!
I'm not a Bug!
I'm an old man!"
[ Wes gets pulled away and Lucas approaches ]
Fassad (whispering):
"Lucas,
stop snooping around me!
Stop getting in my way!"
Fassad:
"Lucas...
I wish you'd hurry and get a Box of Happiness in your house and
become happy like everyone else here.
How long are you going to keep me waiting?"
(4C2)
Go to the eastern part of town and to where Wes's home once was. His house
is now the "Silver House" retirement home. Check behind the house to get a
Thunder Bomb, just like in the previous chapters; enter the Crossroad to
refill the gift box.
Go to the second floor and enter the door on the right. Talk to Mike inside
and he'll ask if you came to visit him. Answer "yes" to receive 50 DP as a
gift. He'll make a comment about the nurses here having nice bodies, until
Linda comes in and warns him about "sekuhara" or sexual harassment.
Go back into the hallway and enter the door in the middle. Talk to Wes:
Wes:
"Oh, Lucas.
You caught me in an embarrassing moment back there.
That Fassad...
Treating me like a...
a Miyama Stag Beetle!
[ Lucas tells Wes about Club Titiboo ]
"...what?
A man who looks like Duster?
That fool, he probably...
Lucas!!
I'm going to lower my voice and
whisper to you!
I hate to ask but, can you go check if that man is our fool?
I'm being marked by Fassad's men and can't move around freely.
Please.
Go find that fool for me.
[ Wes give Lucas a Carrier Pigeon ]
"If you find Duster, release this Pigeon and let me know."
Pigeon:
* Coo coo coooo! *
(A time when I'm needed has finally come again!)
[ "You received a Carrier Pigeon!" ]
Wes:
"Sorry Lucas.
But I'm being marked."
c)Exploring the Village and Forest
There are a few minor things you can do in town before heading for the Club.
Go to the beaches to the west to find some Dolphin Ossicles on the ground.
Ossicles appear every time you reenter the area, so you can collect as many
as you want and sell them for 5 DP each if you're short on cash (I don't
think they can be used for anything else).
Go to the second floor dining room of Osohe Castle. Talk to the ghost to the
left of the piano to receive a Rotten Eclair. Next, climb the ladder leading
up out of the dining room and talk to the ghost at the top. Give it the
Rotten Eclair to receive a Beef Jerky in return. You can also talk to the
same ghost in the dining room again to get a Dolphin Ossicle.
New items can also be found in Sunshine Forest. The gift boxes in the forest
are:
1.Beef Jerky - recovers 60 HP
2.Pisces Bracelet - Defense +7
3.Peculiar Cheese - recovers 60 HP for Lucas, 20 HP for Boney
4.Sprinting Bomb - inflicts about 100 to 200 HP of damage to all
enemies on screen
5.Bread Roll - recovers 60 HP
6.Baked Yam - recovers 40 HP
The Pisces Bracelet is in the area past Isaac's house (previously the first
burnt part of the forest) and is hidden behind a Grated Yammonster. The
Yammonster is way too powerful for you now, but luckily you don't have to
defeat it to open the gift box.
| EXTRA: THE BLACK BEANLING
|
| The Black Beanling is a rare enemy that rewards 16,080 experience
| points, enough to level up Lucas and Boney by about 13 or 14 levels at
| the beginning of this chapter. Don't try to hunt for this enemy until
| Lucas has learned PSI by the train tracks (see below).
|
| Be near max HP before trying to fight the Black Beanling. This enemy
| appears in the area past Isaac's house; check the southern half of the
| area. The Beanling looks like a small, hopping bean outside of battle
| and always tries to run away. To catch this enemy, chase it into an
| obstacle and make it burrow into the ground. Keep running around until
| the Beanling reemerges from a nearby spot after a little while. The
| Beanling will take a couple seconds to come out of the ground--this is
| the only time you can catch it.
|
| The Black Beanling likes to use PK Fire and will run away after a few
| rounds. Use Lucas's PK Love[alpha] (10 PP) while Boney uses food items
| and Thunder Bombs when possible to win.
d)Train Tracks
Go to Thomas's Shop and buy an Alarm Cicada for 18 DP. Give it to Boney and
save it for a later boss.
Go to the Crossroad and attempt to enter the train tunnel. A man will stop
Lucas and warn him to be careful of any trains. He'll give you a map of the
tracks. Trains will occasionally run by, but if Lucas and Boney are on the
tracks when a train comes you'll be able to jump out of the way in super
slow-mo. If hit by a train, Lucas and Boney will be taken back to the
Crossroad.
Try to avoid any enemies along the tracks until you reach the fourth
section. When you reach the fourth area, Boney will spot a pile of clothes
on the ground near a ladder. Climb up the ladder, enter the hot spring, and
talk to the person inside. It's Ionia, the Magypsy you met in Chapter 1, and
he will teach Lucas how to use PSI.
Lucas starts off with PK Love[alpha], Lifeup[alpha], and Healing[alpha]. PK
Love[alpha] (10 PP) is Lucas's special PSI attack that inflicts 120~160 HP
of damage to all enemies on screen. It is a special move that even the
Magypsies can't use. Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) and Healing[alpha] (4 PP) are
recovery moves that can be used both during and outside of battle. Lifeup
recovers about 60 HP when used, and Healing removes a single status effect
from a party member. Touch Magic Butterflies found in various places to
recover about 5 to 25 PP. Like Kumatora in Chapter 2, Lucas will fall under
a fever when he's about to learn a new PSI move.
Run all the way east to the end of the tracks. On the way, you will find
gift boxes that contain a Bread Roll and a Sprinting Bomb.
The tracks end at a station in front of the factory. The Cattlesnakes here
are extremely strong and should be avoided. There is a gift box to the right
of the station containing Flea Powder, but that item won't be useful until
much later and can be left behind for now.
Walk north through the Squawking Sticks and open the gift box to find a
Bread Roll. Continue to the factory.

WALKTHROUGH
a)Part-time Work
The factory here employs many people from town and is used by the Pig Army
to mine raw materials to make their Claymen (one Pigmask has heard a rumor
that they're also secretly digging for a gigantic dragon underground, but he
doesn't know if that's true). Employees are the only ones allowed into Club
Titiboo, and you'll have to get a job here to move on.
There are a gift box containing Eye Drops (cures crying) and a Vending
Machine in the factory yard. You can also check one of the open crates to
the right of the save frog to find a Magic Butterfly inside, but you're
better off checking the Amazing Capsule inside the factory.
Enter the factory and talk to the blue Pigmask inside.
"Hey!
Suspicious person!
What're you doing here?!
You want to go to Club Titiboo?!
That club is an exclusive place where guys that work here relax at
the end of the day.
It's not a place for bums who don't work.
If you really want to go, get a part-time job here.
How about it.
Wanna work?
>Yes >No (answer yes)
Alright.
Then you're getting ahead of yourself.
Your job is to transport the Claymen.
First, go waaaay into the back.
Go down the ladder there and you'll find the Claymen underground.
Some of them have run out of energy, so bring 'em up here.
Carry them 1 at a time and you'll be finished when you transport 3.
Just in case, I'll give you a sketch of the factory."
[ "You got a Factory Sketch!" ]
"And write down that name in the records for me.
Not your name.
I mean...that.
That is, your
that is...the guardian or whatever behind you
You know!
The p p p player's name.
Hard and strong in cool ABCs."
You will be prompted to enter your name again. The game uses your name at
the very end, but you can enter a joke name like "POOP" or something if you
want. Select the bottom right option to confirm.
When you're finished, the Pigmask will assign Boney a separate job and send
him to the back.
(4C3)
Walk past the Pigmask and into the third room. You'll find Boney here on a
treadmill. Examine the Amazing Capsule if you want to recover. Climb down
the ladder into the mine.
Follow the white lines and go into the third area of the mine. There is a
Clayman there moving a little slower than the rest and emits a different
sound when you examine it. Walk beside it and push it back toward the
entrance to the mine.
When you get to the entrance, push the Clayman close to the Pigmask and talk
to him. The Pigmask will bring down an elevator and shove the Clayman onto
it.
When you get to the top, push the Clayman into the next room. Achat will
take it from you and charge it up.
Go back to the mine and do the same thing two more times. The second
undercharged Clayman is close to the ladder and the third one is in the
second area.
Talk to the blue Pigmask when you're finished. He'll give you a Ticket to
the Ropeway and 200 DP of pay. You can come back and do the same job later
as much as you want to receive 200 DP each time.
b)The Ropeway
Leave the factory and go north. The Ropeway to Club Titiboo is in the next
area.
Open the gift box next to the Ropeway to obtain a map of the area. Talk to
the man standing next to the Ropeway and answer "yes" to his question. He
will check your Ticket and let you ride up to Club Titiboo.
NOTE: There isn't anything important to the west or the east for now. If you
go west, you can find a Saltwater Gun (inflicts 150~250 HP of damage
to mechanical enemies), a Magic Tart (recovers 30 PP), and a Chicken
that lays Fresh Eggs.
The Chicken is next to a hot spring, and she will give you a Fresh Egg
whenever you don't have one. You can either wait for the Fresh Egg to
turn into a Chicken (sell for 200 DP) or enter the hot spring to get a
Hot Spring Egg (recovers 100 HP). If you want to talk to the Chicken
to raise money or stock up on food, be sure to avoid the powerful
enemies on the way.

Type: Mysterious Creature
Vulnerable: crying
HP: 250
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 30~35 HP (Lucas)
25~30 HP (Boney)
-Electrical shock attack
Damage: 25~35 HP to all
Effect: may paralyze its targets
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Gently Weeping Guitar in 2 rounds with
combos or 3 rounds without. Be near max HP before fighting this enemy
because it likes to use its electrical shock attack.
If this enemy appears with a Beaten Drum, use PK Love[alpha] (10 PP) in
the first round and defeat the Gently Weeping Guitar first. Try to engage
the Guitar over the Drum because the Guitar has an easier song to combo
with.
-Lucas: standard attack
(first round) PK Love[alpha] (10 PP), if appears with Beaten Drum
recover with Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) if someone's HP falls to 55 or
below
-Boney: standard attack
recover with a food item if someone's HP falls to 35 or below
f)Beaten Drum
�ʂ��h���� "Tsutsunuke Doramu"
(A drum with a hole in it)
Type: Mysterious Creature
Vulnerable: Fire
HP: 312
Attacks
-8 beat attack
Damage: 15~25 HP
-16 beat attack
Effect: speeds up the tempo of the battle music
Comments: This attack makes executing combos easier by making the rhythm
more regular.
-Continuous attack
Effect: the Beaten Drum hits twice
Damage: 15~20 HP per hit (Lucas)
10~15 HP per hit (Boney)
Comments: The Beaten Drum uses this attack after it has sped up the
battle music.
-Marching attack
Effect: changes the battle music to a marching theme
Comments: This attack makes executing combos easier by making the rhythm
more regular.
-Standard attack
Damage: 35~45 HP (Lucas)
30~40 HP (Boney)
Comments: The Beaten Drum uses this attack after it has changed the
battle music to the marching theme.
-March
Effect: none
-Stare at you
Effect: none
Strategy
Avoid the Beaten Drum if you can't combo and are at a low level.
Otherwise, you should be able to defeat this enemy in 3 or 4 rounds.
The rhythm of the Beaten Drum's initial battle music is a little tricky:
the eighth beat always comes immediately after the seventh beat. Use PK
Love[alpha] (10 PP) in the first round if you have trouble comboing with
this song or if this enemy appears with a Gently Weeping Guitar. Defeat the
Guitar before attacking the Drum.
This enemy sometimes drops a Sprinting Bomb when defeated.
-Lucas: (first round) PK Love[alpha] (10 PP)
standard attack
recover with Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) if someone's HP falls to 55 or
below
-Boney: standard attack
recover with a food item if someone's HP falls to 55 or below
g)Jealous Bass
�����Ƃɂ��邤�x�[�X "Shitto ni Kuruu Beesu"
Type: Mysterious Creature
Vulnerable: Fire
HP: ~979
Recommended Level: 14
Attacks
-Jam Session
Effect: the Jealous Bass hits Lucas twice and its cohorts hit Boney once
each
Damage: 30~40 HP per hit (Lucas)
25~35 HP per hit (Boney)
Comments: This is the only move the Jealous Bass will use while the
Weeping Guitar or Beaten Drum is alive.
-Lose its temper
Effect: increases its Offense by 23
Comments: The Jealous Bass gets angry when its cohorts are defeated.
-Standard attack
Damage: 50~60 HP (Lucas)
45~55 HP (Boney)
-Solo session attack
Damage: 25~40 HP to all
-Hypnosis[alpha]
Effect: may put a single target to sleep
Comments: Use Healing[alpha] (4 PP) to wake Boney up. If you don't have
an Alarm Cicada, there's nothing you can do to wake Lucas up.
Strategy
Before fighting this boss, recover at the elderly mice's home in the
southeast corner of the attic. The gift boxes in their home contain
"things" that instantly restore 50 HP/PP.
Give Boney your best food items and your Sprinting Bombs (a red ball with
a white top). Give an Alarm Cicada to Boney as well if you bought one from
Thomas's Shop back in the village (you can't go there now).
If you can't combo, make sure Boney has at least 4 or 5 food items; fight
Greedier Mice and stock up on what they drop or buy some Burgers or Fries
from the Club Titiboo concession stand. Give Boney any Magic Tarts or
Gelatin you have as well.
Use PK Love[alpha] (10 PP) and a Sprinting Bomb in the first round to
defeat the Weeping Guitar. Recover Lucas with Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) in the
second round. You can either have Boney eat a food item in the second
round or take the safe risk of throwing another Sprinting Bomb to finish
off the Beaten Drum.
Once the Jealous Bass's cohorts are defeated, use Offense Up[alpha] (6 PP)
on Lucas if Boney has at least 4 or 5 good food items (Beef Jerky or
better); have Lucas attack with combos while Boney recovers when someone's
HP falls below 50. If Boney doesn't have a decent amount of food, use
Offense Up on Boney instead and keep everyone alive with Lifeup.
The rhythm of this boss's music slows down near the middle and end of the
song but is relatively easy to combo with.
If you can't combo, attack with PK Love while Boney uses food items and
defends. Lucas will likely have to eat a Magic Tart or Gelatin to keep his
PP up.
-Lucas: (first round) PK Love[alpha] (10 PP)
(second round) Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) on Lucas
Offense Up[alpha] (6 PP) on Lucas if Boney has at least 4 or 5
food items; use on Boney otherwise
standard attack, with combos
PK Love[alpha] (10 PP), if you can't combo
recover with Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) if someone's HP falls to 50 or
below
Healing[alpha] (4 PP) on Boney when asleep
-Boney: (first round) Sprinting Bomb
(second round) food item on Boney or throw a Sprinting Bomb
standard attack, with combos
defend, if you can't combo
recover with a food item if someone's HP falls to 50 or below
Alarm Cicada on Lucas when asleep
WALKTHROUGH
a)Titiboo Theater
There are binoculars you can look through at the top of the Ropeway if you
pay 1 DP.
Walk west and cross the bridge. Open the gift box to see a firework fly into
the air.
"Lucas opened the gift box.
It was a firework.
...I see."
Talk to the frog and withdraw all your money.
Attempt to enter the club and the two bouncers, Skinhead and Kumahige (lit.
"Bear-beard"), will stop you. The club does not allow pets and the two ask
you to leave.
Lucas and Boney will come back with Boney disguised as a human.
Skinhead:
"Uhhhh.
It's the person that brought that Dog before and...
a Dog-like guy..."
[ Lucas and Boney try to go in ]
Kumahige:
"It's too suspicious!
What happened to that Dog from before and
where did this Dog-like guy come from?!
You smell underage, too!
*sniff sniff*
I smell a minor and a Dog!
Skinhead:
"Now that you mention it, something is funny!
Guilty until proven innocent!
That's how we do things!
Go home, go home!
You underage looking Kid and Dog-like guy!"
Kumahige:
"No wait!
Let's kick their butts!"
[ Yoshikoshi, a waitress, comes out ]
Yoshikoshi:
"Oh my!
If it isn't the underage smelling Mr. Poo and
the Dog smelling Mr. Woof!
You two are being mistaken for a minor and a Dog again, aren't you?
Tee hee.
Skinhead:
"Whaa?!
You know these guys, Ms. Yoshikoshi?"
Kumahige:
"Still,
something ain't right!
Especially this Dog-like guy over here.
Shake!
Don't look away from me!
Shake!
You can at least shake my hand can't you?
*Grin grin*"
Boney:
"*Whine*
(I can shake but...)"
Kumahige:
"...this person is definitely Dog-like but
I guess he's not a Dog.
But, mister.
If Ya were a Dog...
I bet you'd be a Dog that could shake well.
Heh heh."
Yoshikoshi:
"Come on.
Have lotsa fun and forget aaall your worries."
[ Lucas opens the door ]
Kumahige:
"Hey buddy.
Have a good time, alright."
Boney:
"*Woof*
(Whew, that was scary.)"
Once inside, talk to the bearded guy to buy some equipment. If you can't
afford everything, buy at least a DCMC Hat for Lucas and Boney.
(4C4)
Talk to Yoshikoshi and you'll find that it's Kumatora disguised as a
waitress.
Enter the music hall and talk to everyone inside. Approach the table closest
to the entrance and Boney will suggest you stay at a table. Answer "yes."
Yoshikoshi will come in and ask Lucas and Boney what kind of drinks they
want. Lucas says water, but Thomas, who's at a nearby table, laughs at him
and orders the two soda. When Yoshikoshi brings the drinks, she whispers to
Lucas to meet her in the lobby after the show. When she leaves, the
performance will begin, and the band DCMC will play "King P.'s Theme." While
watching the band, pay attention to the bass player, Tamekichi.
When the song is over, talk to the waitress standing next to your table.
Answer "yes" to her offer and she will give you a DCMC Pamphlet. Save this
item for later. (Talk to the person across from Thomas; he says that the
DCMC band members have apparently all lost their memories.)
Walk out into the lobby and talk to Yoshikoshi on the right. Follow her into
the next room and climb down the ladder.
There are some Slimy Slugs in this underground passage, but they can be
easily defeated; use PK Love[alpha] (10 PP) as much as you want since the
passage is short.
Walk south from the ladder to find two gift boxes that contain a Saltwater
Gun (150~250 HP of damage to mechanical enemies) and a "Made-You-Look"
(makes an enemy turn around). Place both in Boney's inventory. The Saltwater
Gun will come in handy later.
Walk north and climb up the ladder to enter Yoshikoshi's room. She will be
taking a shower to wash off all the dirt and gunk from the underground
passage. Wait a few seconds or attempt to climb back down the ladder and she
will come out.
Yoshikoshi will tell you to take a shower after she is done. Answer "yes" to
her offer, or else she will keep asking until she explodes on you.
The text description that appears next basically says that the two talk
about what has happened in the last three years: about the rescued Monkey,
the still missing Hummingbird's Egg, DCMC's Duster look-alike, and the
transformed Tatsumairi Village.
Yoshikoshi somehow managed to get inside the club in order to find Duster.
Without Duster, the Hummingbird's Egg can't be found, but Duster seems to
have lost his memory. Yoshikoshi asks Lucas to go and talk to him to try to
get Duster to remember. Since there are guards in the hall, Lucas will have
to get to Duster's room by sneaking through the ceiling. Yoshikoshi reveals
a ladder up to the attic and leaves to gather up the band.
b)The Attic (4C5)
If you need to recover HP/PP near the entrance to the attic, return to
Yoshikoshi's room and enter the tub in her bath. Don't worry too much about
conserving PP in the attic because you'll be able to recover HP/PP and
revive anyone at 0 HP in a room just before the boss.
Climb up the ladder and go through the first doorway you see. Open the gift
box here to obtain the Attic Map (talk to the guy to store or withdraw any
items). Press R and look at the map. The blue doorways lead to the exit; the
other doorways lead to dead-ends and usually gift boxes. The only gift box
item of note is a Sprinting Bomb in the northeast corner room; save the Bomb
for the next boss. If you can't combo, save any PP recovery items you find
as well.
If you can afford 500 DP, talk to the mouse and buy the Better Stick
(Offense +20) for Lucas.
The enemies in the attic should not give you trouble if you can combo.
Defeat any Arachnids!!!! first when facing a group to avoid getting poisoned
and defeat any Elder Batties last. Cure poison with Antidotes (a small
purple bottle) or Healing[alpha] (4 PP) after battles, and recover with a
food item or Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) when someone's HP falls to about 50 to 55
or below.
If you can't combo and are at a low level, avoid the Beaten Drum and the
Gently Weeping Guitar. The Beaten Drum has high Defense and plenty of HP and
is difficult to defeat quickly without combos. The Gently Weeping Guitar is
easier to defeat, but it often uses its electrical shock attack to damage
both Lucas and Boney. Be near max HP when near these enemies, and use PK
Love[alpha] (10 PP) against the Beaten Drum if you bump into one. Defeat the
Guitar first when facing both.
When you have a choice, engage the Elder Batty or the Weeping Guitar over
other enemies since they have the easiest songs to combo with.
Before heading to the exit, enter the home of an elderly mouse couple in the
southeast corner of the attic. Use Lifeup on anyone not at max HP, and open
a gift box here to recover 50 HP/PP and revive anyone at 0 HP. The gift
boxes contain a "wonderful thing," a "steak thing," and a "sushi-like thing"
(they form alliterations in Japanese). Talk to both mice to receive Nut
Bread and a Peculiar Cheese.
c)Jealous Bass
Level Lucas up to level 14 and learn Offense Up[alpha] if you can combo
before heading for the exit. You'll have to walk around a bit after reaching
level 14 before Lucas falls under a fever, just like Kumatora in Chapter 2.
Give your best food items and Sprinting Bombs (a red ball with a white top)
to Boney. If you can't combo, make sure Boney has at least 5 decent food
items (Beef Jerky or better). Fight Greedier Mice and stock up on what they
drop, or buy some Burgers and Fries from the Club Titiboo concession stand.
Give an Alarm Cicada to Boney as well if you have one. (Alarm Cicadas can be
bought at Thomas's Shop, but you can't go there now.)
A living Bass will block your way above Tamekichi's room. It's upset because
it was replaced by a newer instrument and has been stuffed into the attic.
The bass decides to take its anger out on you and attacks with a Weeping
Guitar and a Beaten Drum.
Use PK Love[alpha] (10 PP) and a Sprinting Bomb in the first round to defeat
the Weeping Guitar. Recover Lucas in the second round with Lifeup. You can
either have Boney eat a food item in the second round or take the safe risk
of throwing another Sprinting Bomb to defeat the Beaten Drum.
The Jealous Bass will get angry and increase its Offense as soon as its
cohorts are gone. If Boney has at least 4 or 5 good food items, use Offense
Up[alpha] (6 PP) on Lucas. Have Lucas attack with combos (or PK Love if you
can't combo) while Boney recovers anyone with 50 HP or less. If Boney
doesn't have enough food, use Offense Up on him while Lucas keeps everyone
alive with Lifeup.
Use Healing[alpha] (4 PP) on Boney or an Alarm Cicada on Lucas if one of
them falls asleep.
d)Rock, Paper, Scissors of Fate
When the Bass is defeated, answer "yes" when prompted to jump into the room
below.
(4C6)
Yoshikoshi will be in the middle of talking things over with the band. Talk
to Tamekichi.
Tamekichi:
"Tondagossa. (This is DCMC's catch phrase greeting)
...Who are you?"
Yoshikoshi:
"He's your acquaintance I was talking about earlier.
Duster."
Tamekichi:
"Duster?
I know I don't remember my real name,
but I've lived as 'Tamekichi' for years now."
Yoshikoshi:
"Okay.
I understand Mr. Tamekichi.
Sorry but can you explain everything you remember again for him."
Tamekichi:
"...alright.
I know it's a very important time right now...
Before I came to Club Titiboo, I lost all of my memories.
I didn't know who I was, where I came from, or where I was going.
Just, for some reason, I was holding on to a strange Egg like it was
really valuable.
I was walking frantically, even though I didn't know where to go.
All I knew was the Egg looked very important.
I have to keep it safe...
I searched for a hiding place.
I kept on walking and walking until I buried the Egg in a lump of
clay in a valley where no eyes would seem to reach.
I haven't forgotten that hiding spot.
After climbing a cliff near a huge waterfall..."
[ Scene of a large tower ]
Yoshikoshi:
"...that's No Man's Valley!
It's there, Duster!
The Egg we've been busting our butts to protect is there!
Let's go there now!"
Tamekichi:
"...but, am I really Duster?
If I am this Duster,
I'll have to leave the band...
that's what it'll mean right?
Either Duster or Tamekichi has to disappear today...
that's what it means right?!
If I'm Duster, what will happen to DCMC?
If I go on living as Tamekichi, what the heck was that Egg for?
What should I do?!
I can't decide."
Shimmy Zmith (a band member):
"...nah,
you can't make that choice.
You can only ask fate."
Batchy (a band member):
"Yeah.
If fate says to,
I'll let Tamekichi go with a smile on my face."
OJ (the bandleader):
"Fate, huh...
Let's try ask fate.
We've got a way, after all.
Whenever we were unsure about something,
there was always this."
Tamekichi:
"...Rock, Paper, Scissors." *
[ Lucas approaches OJ ]
OJ:
"Yeah.
We're going to play Rock, Paper, Scissors with this guy Lucas.
And if he wins 5 times in a row against us, you'll go.
If he loses even once, you stay with DCMC and continue playing
bass...
How does that sound?"
Tamekichi:
"Five times in a row...
That's okay with me.
You there, that's fine with you, right."
OJ (to Lucas):
"Alright,
you can start when you feel ready."
Play anyone you want first."
* In Japanese, Rock, Paper, Scissors is called "Janken." In Mother 3,
the game is called "Jankesu." I don't know where the variation comes
from.
You'll have to talk to each band member, including Tamekichi, and play Rock,
Paper, Scissors with them. You can play any member you like in any order,
but you'll have to play OJ, the bandleader, last. Talk to a band member and
three options will appear around you. Choose any hand you want. If you lose,
something will go wrong with the match (e.g. the band member sneezes or
someone makes his move late) and you'll have to play again. The game will
give you as many chances as you want.
Once you've won against every band member, talk to OJ and play against him.
He tells you he's going to use Paper before the match starts. You can't lose
anyway, since the bouncer Kumahige will interrupt the game and yell at
everyone to keep it quiet if you choose the wrong hand.
Choose Scissors to win against OJ:
OJ:
"I see.
So that's fate."
I guess Tamekichi is actually a guy named Duster.
Go!
Don't worry anymore about anything!"
Yoshikoshi:
"I think the place Duster hid the Egg is No Man's Valley.
I've got no reason to stay here anymore.
Alright!
I'm going to get rid of these girly clothes!
Thanks for everything, guys!
Take care!
[ Yoshikoshi leaves the room ]
Get out of my way!
(*slap slap* *thud*)
OJ:
"Tamekichi...
no, Duster I guess.
You were the best bass player ever.
We'll miss you.
I hope we can see each other again."
[ OJ leaves ]
Magic:
"I'm sure we'll meet again."
[ Magic leaves ]
Shimmy Zmith:
"Don't forget your time with us, now."
[ Shimmy Zmith leaves ]
Batchy:
"...Tamekichi."
[ Batchy leaves ]
Duster (to Lucas):
"My memory hasn't come back yet,
but I'll follow you guys.
Let get going!"
[ Duster joins you! ]
Leave Tamekichi's room.
Kumatora:
"I took care of the guards.
Let's go!"
[ Kumatora joins you! ]
Go to the lobby and attempt to leave the club.
Duster:
"?"
Kumatora:
"What's wrong?"
Duster:
"...there's someone on stage."
"Bon Voyage Amigo
Grant a gift to our friend,
oh heavenly someone,
as he embarks on his journey
He and we spent frivolous times
fooling around and sharing laughs
But, oh heavenly someone,
those frivolous times and
those hopeless smiling faces
are what he and we relished
Bon voyage, bon voyage, amigo"
Duster:
"Tondagossa...
Thanks, everyone."
[ Duster leaves ]
"Kept you waiting, huh.
Okay, let's go."
Kumatora:
"To No Man's Valley!"
[ Lucas releases the pigeon ]
End of Chapter 4

Would you like me to save what has happened up to this point?

Strategy
Return to Osohe Castle and enter the room where you fought Mr. Passion to
meet an even stronger Lord Passion. This boss can only be fought in this
chapter, and you will receive the Mystical Shoes for defeating him. This
weapon increases Duster's max HP by 15, Offense by 40, IQ by 5, and Speed
by 7.
Use Duster's Smoke Bomb in the first round to make Lord Passion cry. Use
the Scary Mask and Kumatora's Offense Down[alpha] (7 PP) until they work 3
times on Lord Passion, and decrease Lord Passion's Defense once (or 3
times if you can't combo) with the Tickle Feather as well. Have Boney
defend until Lord Passion's Offense is lowered.
Use Offense Up[alpha] (6 PP) on Lucas, Duster, and Boney once each. Have
Boney throw Thunder Bombs if you want to inflict more damage. (Don't use
Sprinting Bombs--they're not very effective.)
Kumatora should attack with PK Fire[alpha] (6 PP). If you can combo with
Lucas, have Kumatora use Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) on anyone with less than 40
HP. Use Healing[alpha] (4 PP) if Lucas or Duster are paralyzed or start
crying. If you can't combo, have Lucas recover instead.
The battle music cycles through four songs: Beethoven's 5th Symphony,
Bach's Toccata and Fugue, Handel's Messiah, and Vivaldi's Spring. The
Beethoven and Vivaldi pieces have the same rhythm, while Handel is
slightly faster. The Bach piece has an extremely slow and unusual beat,
and you shouldn't try to combo with it unless you want to put Lord Passion
to sleep.
-Lucas: (first few turns) Offense Up[alpha] (6 PP) on Lucas, Duster, and
Boney
standard attack
Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) if someone's HP falls to 40 or below
Healing[alpha] (4 PP) if Lucas or Duster start crying or are
paralyzed
-Duster: (first turn or more) Smoke Bomb, until successful
Scary Mask, until Lord Passion's Offense is decreased 3 times
Tickle Feather, once if you can combo, 3 times if you can't
standard attack
-Kumatora: Offense Down[alpha] (7 PP), until Lord Passion's Offense is
decreased 3 times
PK Fire[alpha] (6 PP)
Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) if someone's HP falls to 40 or below
Healing[alpha] (4 PP) if Lucas or Duster start crying or are
paralyzed
-Boney: defend, until Lord Passion's Offense is decreased
standard attack
Thunder Bomb
b)Parental Kangashark
�������J���K���[�U�� "Komochi Kangaruu Zame"
(Half kangaroo, half shark)
Type: Organic Chimera
Vulnerable: Freeze, crying
HP: 289
Attacks
-Let out a swift kick
Damage: 40~50 HP
-Biting attack
Damage: 20~30 HP
-Use a drop kick
Damage: 50~60 HP
-The Baby Kangashark cheers for its mother
Effect: recovers about 150 HP
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Kangashark in one round with combos. Use
Kumatora's Freeze[alpha] (5 PP) if you can't combo. If this enemy appears
in a group, defeat it first.
The Kangashark sometimes drops Beef Jerky (recovers 60 HP) when defeated.
-Lucas: standard attack
-Duster: standard attack
-Kumatora: standard attack
Freeze[alpha]
-Boney: standard attack
c)Reconstructed Lion
�����������C�I�� "Kaizou Raion"
(A lion's head with metal tentacles)
Type: Mechanical Chimera
Vulnerable: Thunder, sleep
HP: 325
Attacks
-Biting attack
Damage: 25~35 HP
-Breathe fire
Damage: 20~30 HP to all
-Coil attack
Effect: solidifies a single target
-Roar a battle cry
Effect: decrease Offense by about 20%
Strategy
With good combos, you should be able to defeat this enemy in one round.
If it appears in a group, put it to sleep with Duster's Hypnotic Pendulum
and defeat its cohorts first.
The rhythm of this enemy's battle music is a little tricky. The eighth
beat always comes almost immediately after the seventh beat, and you'll
have to listen very carefully to the music to get the timing right.
-Lucas: standard attack
-Duster: standard attack
Hypnotic Pendulum
-Kumatora: standard attack
-Boney: standard attack
d)Mecha-Turtle
�J�����J "Kame Meka"
(A turtle with a metallic back side)
Type: Mechanical Chimera
Vulnerable: Freeze, sleep
HP: 400
Attacks
-Throw itself onto you
Damage: 44~62
-Stare at you
Effect: none
-Turn around
Effect: exposes the weapons in its shell
-Gatling Gun
Effect: The Mecha-Turtle hits about 6 times
Damage: 3~6 HP per hit
-Fire a tank shell
Damage: 65~75 HP
-Fire a missile
Damage: 35~45 HP to three party members
Strategy
Do not approach this enemy from behind. If you do, you will be facing the
powerful weapons inside its shell.
You should be able to defeat this enemy in one or two turns. Use Freeze
[alpha] (5 PP) to inflict extra damage.
-Lucas: standard attack
-Duster: standard attack
-Kumatora: Freeze[alpha] (5 PP)
-Boney: standard attack
WALKTHROUGH
a)New Equipment
(5C1)
When you begin the chapter, you will find yourself in the area east of the
Ropeway.
Duster:
"There should be a hole in the ground
if we go straight ahead.
I think I hid the Egg past that hole.
Let's head for that area first."
Move north and enter the cave.
Talk to the save frog inside and withdraw all your DP to buy some equipment
from the mole. If you can't afford everything, try to buy the Fly Charm (350
DP) and Azure Ribbon (180 DP) for Kumatora and the Sparrow Bandana (200 DP)
for Duster. Buy a Fly Charm and a Better Stick (500 DP) for Lucas, depending
on what he was equipped with before. Buy the Azure Ribbon for Boney only if
he isn't wearing the DCMC Hat.
Keep in mind that you can find a gift box containing a Capricorn Bracelet
(600 DP) in a little while, and you can find another vendor that sells all
of these items in an upcoming area.
b)The Mystical Shoes
The Mystical Shoes are secret weapons for Duster that increase max HP by 15,
Offense by 40, IQ by 5, and Speed by 7. To obtain them, return to Osohe
Castle and go to the room where you fought Mr. Passion. There you will find
Lord Passion, a stronger version of the ghost conductor. Talk to him and
answer "no" when he asks you to listen to his music or compliment his hair
to start the fight.
Lord Passion has decent Offense and can inflict heavy damage to the entire
party. Use Duster's Smoke Bomb in the first round to make Lord Passion cry.
Use the Scary Mask and Kumatora's Offense Down[alpha] (7 PP) until they work
3 times, and reduce Lord Passion's Defense once (or 3 times if you can't
combo) with Duster's Tickle Feather as well. Boney should defend until Lord
Passion's Offense is lowered.
Use Lucas's Offense Up[alpha] (6 PP) on Lucas, Duster, and Boney once each.
Have Boney throw Thunder Bombs if you want to inflict more damage. (Don't
use Sprinting Bombs--they're not very effective.)
Kumatora should attack with PK Fire[alpha] (6 PP). If you can combo with
Lucas, have Kumatora use Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) on anyone with less than 40
HP. Use Healing[alpha] (4 PP) if Lucas or Duster are paralyzed or start
crying. If you can't combo, have Lucas recover instead.
The battle music cycles through four songs: Beethoven's 5th Symphony, Bach's
Toccata and Fugue, Handel's Messiah, and Vivaldi's Spring. The Beethoven and
Vivaldi pieces have the same rhythm, while Handel is slightly faster. The
Bach piece has an extremely slow and unusual beat, and you shouldn't try to
combo with it unless you want to put Lord Passion to sleep.
Examine the shoes on the ground after defeating Lord Passion to pick up the
Mystical Shoes.
c)Mole Holes
Move north out of the hot spring cave. The enemies in this area are
significantly tougher than what you have faced up until now, but they are
manageable if you use your party members' strengths well and execute decent
combos. Don't be afraid to use Freeze[alpha] (5 PP) when fighting Kangaroo
Sharks and Mecha-Turtles, and use PK Thunder[alpha] (7 PP) against the
Reconstructed Lions. Also, be sure not to approach the slow moving turtles
from the back, as you will be exposed to the weapons in its shell if you do.
At the end of the first area, Boney will stop and take off his human
clothes. In the next area, you will see a bunch of holes in the ground.
Duster remembers entering a hole when he hid the Egg, but there was only one
hole when he came here last time and doesn't know which hole is the right
one. The correct hole is directly to the south of your starting position
past a tree. If you don't fall into the wrong holes, however, you will miss
out on gift boxes that contain a Capricorn Bracelet (armor; equip as
"other") a Pencil Rocket (inflicts 150~300 HP of damage to all enemies) and
a Beef Jerky (recovers 60 HP).
(5C2)
When you fall down the correct hole, walk all the way to the exit of the
underground area. Once outside, you will reach the hiding spot of the
Hummingbird's Egg. There's some dialogue in the ensuing scene, but you
should be able to understand what happens without any reading.
In the next area, you'll find gift boxes that contain Bags of Pork Chips
(recovers 50 HP) and a Secret Herb (cures all status effects and revives a
party member to 25% of max HP). There are more of the same enemies here, but
they shouldn't give you too much trouble. Keep going forward.
d)Clayman Factory
Eventually you will reach a factory. If you could not buy everything you
wanted from the mole earlier, you can buy the same items from the vending
machine on the right. You should hopefully be able to buy the optimum
equipment by now.
Enter the factory and you will run into three Pig Men having a conversation.
Pigmask 1:
"Do you take off your mask when you go to the bathroom?"
Pigmask 2:
"No, not really.
Do you?
Why? You're just gonna have to put it back on again."
Pigmask 1:
"Yeah, I take it off.
There is that hook you can hang your mask on after all."
Pigmask 2:
"You idiot!
That's not for hanging your mask!
It's for hanging bags and umbrellas and stuff!"
Pigmask 3:
"...oh, oops.
I thought it was for hanging our masks.
I was wondering why it was so hard to
hang my mask on that thing."
[ Lucas and the party approach ]
Pigmask 2:
"Who the heck are you.
What're you looking at!
Oh, wait! This guy is..."
[ The Pigmask runs off and a blue Pigmask enters the room ]
Blue Pigmask:
"Keep it down in here!
What are you guys do...
Oh!
I'm very, very sorry sir!
But if the commander is dressed in such poor looking clothes, it will
reflect badly on our men.
We have a change of clothes ready for you, sir, so please get
dressed.
Your companions should get dressed as well."
[ The party changes their clothes ]
Blue Pigmask:
"This should do fine.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be returning to my duties!"
[ The Blue Pigmask leaves ]
Duster:
"It looks like they're confusing us for somebody else.
Let's get going before they realize their mistake."
This factory is used by the Pig Army to make their Claymen. If you ask the
Pigmasks about any broken Claymen, they'll tell you that one was spotted
running to the back of the factory at very fast speed. Any malfunctioning
units automatically send themselves to the trash dump for disposal, and no
doubt the one you're looking for is doing the same.
Talk to the Pigmask all the way to the left of your starting point and he
will give you a Secret Herb.
In the next room, there is an Amazing Capsule you can examine to recover HP/
PP. There is a boss battle coming up soon, so be sure to use it.
Walk all the way to the exit of the factory, and you will see the broken
Clayman, along with the Hummingbird's Egg, climb into a dump truck and be
taken away. The only thing you can do now is chase the truck.

ENEMIES
a)Wound-Up Road Hog
����܂��C�m�V�V "Zenmai Inoshishi"
(A boar on wheels)
Type: Mechanical Chimera
Vulnerable: Fire, crying
HP: 420
Attacks
-Charge forward
Damage: 75~85 HP
-Recklessly drive around
Damage: 50~65 HP to three party members
-Wind down
Effect: be unable to move for the rest of the battle
Strategy
You should be able to defeat this enemy in two or three rounds. It may
be possible to defeat it in one round with very good combos as well. The
Hog seems to run out of juice after two rounds, but you should be able to
defeat it by then.
The Wound-Up Road Hog sometimes drops a Secret Herb (cures all status
effects; revives a party member to 25% of max HP).
-Lucas: standard attack
-Duster: standard attack
-Kumatora: standard attack
-Boney: standard attack
b)Scrapped Robot
�X�N���b�v���{ "Sukurappu Robo"
(A run-down yellow robot)
Type: Mechanical
Vulnerable: Thunder, paralysis
HP: 332
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 15~25 HP
-Tackle you
Damage: 35~45 HP
-Release a stinky odor
Effect: make a party member feel nauseous
-Lose some parts
Effect: inflicts 20~30 HP of damage to itself
Strategy
This enemy is always feeling strange and often attacks itself or its
partners. You should be able to defeat it in one or two rounds. It will
sometimes drop an Anti-Paralysis (cures paralysis) when defeated.
-Lucas: standard attack
-Duster: standard attack
-Kumatora: standard attack
-Boney: standard attack
c)Fierce Pork Trooper
�R�����e�u�^�}�X�N "Kowamote Butamasuku"
(A muscular Pigmask with horns on its head)
Type: Human
Vulnerable: Fire, DCMC
Recommended Level: 21
Attacks
-Let out a swift blow to the head
Damage: 80~90 HP
Comments: This attack may cause party members to forget their special
abilities. Use Healing to recover.
-Tackle you
Damage: 100~120 HP
-Stick his arms out and spin around
Damage: 130~150 HP to two party members
-Charge at you like a bull
Damage: 15~20 HP
Comments: The Pork Trooper will hit about 7 times with this attack. The
above damage values are for each hit.
-Use an Offense Spray
Effect: increase its Offense by 40%
-Say something nasty
Effect: decrease a single target's Offense by about 20%
-Eat a Bag of Pork Chips
Effect: recovers about 160 HP
-Sniff you over
Effect: none
Strategy
If you have any DCMC items, such as the DCMC Pamphlet or a DCMC Hat,
select the item from your inventory and target the Fierce Pork Trooper.
This will make the Trooper jealous and unable to attack for two or three
turns. Use the DCMC item again whenever the Trooper recovers. It's
probably best to give the DCMC item to Boney, since he will likely have
the highest Speed.
Even with the DCMC item, the Trooper will still be able to attack in the
rounds he recovers. Those few attacks can cause a lot of damage, so have
Duster use his Scary Mask to decrease his Offense until you are
successful at least three times. Meanwhile, have Kumatora use Fire[alpha]
(6 PP) in each round and have Lucas use his standard attack or Lifeup as
needed.
By the off chance you don't have a DCMC item, it's still possible to
defeat this boss. It's just going to be a lot harder, and you'll probably
use up a few recovery items. Have Duster use his Scary Mask along with
Kumatora's Offense Down[alpha] (7 PP). Meanwhile, have Lucas use Defense
Up[alpha] (6 PP) at least once on each party member while using Lifeup to
keep the party alive. Have Boney use food items to assist with recovery.
Once you have decreased the Trooper's Offense and increased the party's
Defense, the Trooper should only inflict about 20 to 30 HP of damage with
his attacks. The fight should become easy at this point. Use Duster's
Tickle Feather to decrease the Trooper's Defense to end the fight faster.
This boss will drop a Pickled Veggie Plate (recovers 10 HP) when
defeated.
-Lucas: standard attack
Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) or [beta] (9 PP), as needed
DCMC Hat, if you don't have a DCMC Pamphlet
Defense Up[alpha] (6 PP), if a DCMC item is not available
-Duster: (first three or more turns) Scary Mask
standard attack
Tickle Feather, if desired
-Kumatora: PK Fire[alpha] (6 PP)
Offense Down[alpha] (7 PP), if a DCMC item is not available
-Boney: DCMC Pamphlet, whenever the Trooper is not solidified
standard attack
food item, as needed
d)Road Block
�Ƃ�����ڃt�F���X "Toosenbo Fensu"
(A roadblock with eyes and hands)
Type: Mechanical
Vulnerable: Thunder, sleep
HP: 333
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 19~21 HP
-Call for help
Effect: a Wobbly Robot may join the battle
Strategy
The Wobbly Robot this enemy may summon is a powerful foe, so try to avoid
fighting this enemy unless you are good at combos.
This enemy's battle music steadily increases its tempo from very slow to
very fast. To execute combos, time you button presses with each quarter
beat instead of each drum beat in the music (the drums sometimes sound on
each eighth beat). This is actually one of the easier songs to execute
combos with, so you should get the hang of it quickly.
-Lucas: standard attack
-Duster: standard attack
-Kumatora: standard attack
-Boney: standard attack
e)Atomic Power Robot
�G�i�W�[���{ "Enajii Robo"
(A round robot with a nozzle)
Type: Mechanical
Vulnerable: Thunder, feeling strange
HP: 350
Attacks
-Fire a beam
Damage: 35~40 HP
-Replenish an energy supply
Effect: recovers HP
-Explode into bits (death action)
Damage: 220 HP to three party members
Comments: If you end the battle quickly enough, you should only suffer
about 30 HP of damage at most.
Strategy
Always defeat this enemy last if it appears in a group. Its recovery
ability is annoying, but unless you have Brainshock there is not much you
can do about it other than to focus your attacks on one target at a time.
The Atomic Power Robot sometimes drops a Bomb when defeated.
-Lucas: standard attack
-Duster: standard attack
-Kumatora: standard attack
-Boney: standard attack
f)Rhinocerocket
�T�C���P�b�g "Sai Roketto"
(A rocket with a rhino's head)
Type: Mechanical Chimera
Vulnerable: Freeze, paralysis
HP: 400
Attacks
-Launch itself at you
Damage: 40~60 HP to all
-Horn attack
Damage: 35~50 HP
Strategy
This enemy can inflict a large amount of damage, so defeat it as quickly
as possible. If you are good at combos, you should be able to defeat it
in one round.
-Lucas: standard attack
-Duster: standard attack
-Kumatora: standard attack
-Boney: standard attack
g)Forlorn Junk Heap
���Ȃ����悹���� "Kanashiki Yoseatsume"
(An old Clayman stuck to bits of scrap)
Resistant: Thunder
Recommended Level: 22
Attacks
-Throw scrap metal at you
Damage: 15~40 HP of damage to three targets
-Swing around a ball of trash
Damage: 70~120 HP
-Shield[alpha]
Effect: reduce damage from physical attacks by 50%; prevents combos
Comments: The Forlorn Junk Heap is protected by a shield from the
beginning of the battle. Use the Shield Snatcher to remove the
shield or hit it three times with standard attacks.
-Scatter an absurdly stinky smell
Effect: make a party member nauseous
-Gather some scrap into itself
Effect: increases its Offense by about 20%,
increases its Defense by about 20%, or
recovers about 300 HP
Strategy
Have Boney or somebody else use the Shield Snatcher at the beginning of
the battle to remove the Forlorn Junk Heap's Shield. Use Duster's Scary
Mask in the first couple of rounds to decrease the Offense of this enemy,
while Kumatora uses Fire[alpha] (6 PP) as much as possible. Keep
everyone's HP above 70 with Lifeup.
-Lucas: standard attack
Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) or [beta] (9 PP), if HP falls to 70 or below
-Duster: (first two or more turns) Scary Mask
standard attack
-Kumatora: Fire[alpha] (6 PP)
-Boney: (first turn) Shield Snatcher
standard attack
WALKTHROUGH
a)Fierce Pork Trooper
Before moving on, recover with the Amazing Capsule in preparation for a
boss battle. If you have the DCMC Pamphlet or any other DCMC item, give one
to Boney.
Run along the highway and enter the tunnel. On the way, you may encounter
some Wound-Up Road Hogs and some Scrapped Robots. The Wound-Up Road Hogs
have high Offense but will become immobilized after a couple of turns. The
Scrappped Robots are always feeling strange and will often attack itself
and its cohorts. Neither enemy is particularly difficult, but you may need
to recover with Lifeup after fighting them.
After awhile, a Pigmask will come toward you on a Pork Bean. He mistakes
you for the commander of the Pig Army and lends you his vehicle.
Unfortunately, as soon as the party drives away on the Pork Bean, it slips
on a banana peel and crashes.
The Fierce Pork Trooper you met in Titiboo Theater will come in another
Pork Bean and find the unconscious party on the ground. He also initially
believes Lucas is the commander, and informs him that the area is littered
with Fassad's banana peels. Just when he's about to lend the party his Pork
Bean, he notices Lucas's stench and realizes he is not the commander. He
recognizes Lucas from the Club and attacks.
Have Boney use a DCMC item. This will make the Pigmask jealous and be
unable to attack for two or three rounds. Use Duster's Scary Mask to
decrease the Pigmask's Offense at least three times while Kumatora uses PK
Fire[alpha] (6 PP) and Lucas uses his standard attack or Lifeup as needed.
If don't have a DCMC item, use Duster's Scary Mask and Offense Down[alpha]
(7 PP) to decrease the Pigmask's Offense 3 times. Use Defense Up[alpha] (6
PP) at least once on each party member while Boney uses food items to help
with recovery. With the appropriate stats changes, the Pigmask should only
be able to inflict about 20 to 30 HP of damage.
b)Seven Mouse Kids on the Highway
(5C3)
When you win the battle, the Pigmask will vow revenge and run off. Enter
his Pork Bean and go through the tunnel on the right.
About halfway through the tunnel is a gift box tied with a blue ribbon.
Open it to find the Highway Map.
Drive through the tunnel and exit into a clearing. Near the center of this
area, there should be a slightly elevated hill you can climb onto. Open the
gift box on this hill to obtain the Chic Gloves, a weapon for Kumatora.
Talk to the mouse here and she will ask you to find her 7 kids. If you do
this for her, she will reward you with a Shield Snatcher, a useful item
that can remove an enemy's shield.
The first mouse is in the southwestern most area. He is standing in front
of a sign trying to read it but is having some trouble. Talk to him, and he
will run back to his mother. There is also a gift box nearby that contains
a Gemini Bracelet (armor for Lucas; equip as "other").
The second mouse can be found in the same place you fought the Fierce Pork
Trooper.
The third mouse is outside the factory.
The remaining mice are in areas ahead. Keep going north and soon you will
arrive at an Energy Station. Park the Pork Bean on the energy platform and
examine the kiosk next to it. Answer "yes" to turn on the switch and press
the A button again when you hear a beep to switch it off. If you don't
charge up the Pork Bean, it will soon run out of energy and stop working.
The fourth mouse is directly north of the Energy Station. Read the sign
next to it for some ironic humor:
"Preserve the scenic view!
Please do not put up any signs."
If you have any Doggy Biscuits (recovers 60 HP for dogs), you can talk to
the dog nearby to trade one for a Pencil Rocket (inflicts 100~300 HP to all
enemies). As far as I can tell, you can trade as many Dog Biscuits as you
want.
There is also a Pigmask Arms Dealer in this area if you want to buy
offensive items, but they are pretty expensive. Head east to move on.
When you get to the bridge, you will find the fifth mouse about halfway
across. Keep moving forward.
Soon, you will reach the Highway Cafe. Go to the west and open the gift box
to obtain the Brown Collar. Equip it on Boney and sell his previous collar.
You can examine the Amazing Capsule here to recover HP/PP, as well as buy
some weapons and armor from the snack cart. If you do buy some items, make
sure not to buy the Yo-yo, as a better weapon will become available for
Duster soon. You can enter the seedy cafe if you want, but other than a
jukebox you can listen to, there's nothing inside.
Check the Energy Station here to find a robot on it. Talk to the robot and
it will ask you to charge it up for exactly 15 seconds in return for some
money. Examine the kiosk and answer "yes" to turn it on. Wait 15 seconds
and press A again. If you wait less than 10 seconds, the robot will only
give you 1 DP. If you are just shy of 15 seconds, you will get 50 DP. Get
it exactly right, and you will receive 100 DP. If you go over 15 seconds,
the robot will explode and you will get nothing. The robot will always
reappear ready to make the same offer if you exit and reenter the area.
Before moving on, be sure that the party is near max HP/PP. There is
another boss battle coming up, so recover with the Amazing Capsule if you
need to.
In the next area, get off the Pork Bean and go south. Inside the cave, you
will find a man named Leo surrounded by a bunch of gift boxes. He says they
are all gifts from women who like him. At first, he refuses to share his
gifts with you, but if you repeatedly take to him, he will eventually
acquiesce and allow you to open one box. I believe no matter which one you
open, you always get a Knit Sweater (armor; equip on "body;" increases
Defense by 8 and recovers 1~3 HP each turn).
The sixth mouse is also in the same room as Leo.
Return to the tunnel and head to the east. You will find the seventh and
final mouse near the exit of the tunnel. Once all the kids are found, go
all the way west and eventually you will find the mother mouse again. Talk
to her, and she will give you the Shield Snatcher. I recommend you give
this to Boney (the item can be used as many times as you want).
c)Forlorn Junk Heap
Go back all the way east to reach the trash dump. Exit the Pork Bean and
climb down into the pit. When you reach the bottom, some of the debris will
come to life, and the Forlorn Junk Heap will attack.
The Forlorn Junk Heap is protected by a Shield from the beginning of the
battle, so have Boney use the Shield Snatcher to remove it. Use Duster's
Scary Mask a couple times to decrease its Offense, and use PK Fire[alpha]
(6 PP) as much as possible. As always, Lucas should "bash" while using
Lifeup as needed.
When the fight is over, Duster will recover the Hummingbird's Egg and
regain his memory from the Egg's power. A Pigmask will come out and mistake
Lucas for the commander again. Finding the commander in the dump, he
hurriedly takes Lucas into the Thunder Tower.

�Ȃ��Ȃ��J�[�h�Q "Nazo Nazo Kaado 2"
(A card with a question mark on it)
Use: use on Pigmasks and their variants in battle
Location: on the roof of the Thunder Tower base
Use the Trivia Card against a Pigmask enemy in battle to read them a trivia
question. What answer they give depends on what type of Pigmask you are
fighting. Some of them will answer correctly, and others will not. The
answer to this card is "croquette bread."
As far as I know, there is no use for the Trivia Card. It's just a weird
item in a weird game.

Effect: puts a party member to sleep
-Run out of batteries
Effect: immobilizes the Minor Robot
Comments: The Minor Robot seems to lose power after it suffers a certain
amount of hits or damage. If you are fighting a Battery Man
along with this enemy, the Battery Man can sacrifice itself to
recharge the Minor Robot and recover all of its HP.
Strategy
You should be able to defeat this enemy in one round with good combos.
Otherwise, it will take at least two rounds. Try to defeat this enemy
first when fighting a group. If you are not confident in your combo
skills and are fighting some Battery Men, defeat the Battery Men first
before attacking the Minor Robot. Use Lucas's PK Love[alpha] (10 PP) if
you need to.
-Lucas: standard attack
PK Love[alpha] (10 PP), if facing Battery Men as well
-Duster: standard attack
-Kumatora: standard attack

all of its HP
Strategy
You should be able to defeat this enemy in one or two turns. If you face
this enemy with a Minor Robot, try to take this enemy out first if you
cannot defeat the Minor Robot in one round with combos. This enemy
sometimes drops a Made-You-Look (makes an enemy turn around) when
defeated.
-Lucas: standard attack
-Duster: standard attack
-Kumatora: standard attack
-Boney: standard attack
d)Fierce Pork Trooper
�R�����e�u�^�}�X�N "Kowamote Butamasuku"
Type: Human
Vulnerable: DCMC
Recommended Level: 24
Attacks
-Let out a swift blow to the head
Damage: 100~110 HP

abilities. Use Healing to recover.

Pigmask's Offense will increase and he will start using
additional attacks.
-Beat his chest like a gorilla
Effect: none
-Wildly thrash around
Damage: 160~190 HP to three targets
Strategy
Have Boney use a DCMC item whenever the Pork Trooper is not solidified
with jealousy, and reduce his Defense at least once with the Tickle
Feather. Attack with PK Fire[beta] (12 PP) as much as possible.
If you can't combo, use Duster's Scary Mask to reduce the Pork Trooper's
Offense three times just in case, and don't let anybody's HP fall below
100.
If you don't have a DCMC item, there is a gift box in the northwest room
on the first floor of the tower that contains a DCMC Pamphlet. If you
accidentally threw that item away or sold it, smack yourself in the head
and prepare for a potentially difficult battle. Reduce the Pigmask's
Offense three times and use Defense Up[alpha] (6 PP) on each party member
at least once. Have Lucas use Lifeup or Boney use a food item if someone's
HP falls below 100. Use PP recovery items on Lucas if possible. Reduce the
Pork Trooper's Defense at least once with the Tickle Feater and attack
with combos. Use Fire[beta] (12 PP) in every round.
DCMC items won't be needed after this battle and can be sold.
-Lucas: standard attack
Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) or [beta] (9 PP), if HP falls to 100 or below
Defense Up[alpha] (6 PP), if needed
-Duster: (first turn) Tickle Feather
standard attack
Scary Mask, if needed
-Kumatora: Fire[beta] (12 PP)
Lifeup[alpha], if needed

HP: 350
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 25~30 HP
-Hypnosis[alpha]
Effect: makes a single target fall asleep

You should be able to defeat this enemy in one or two rounds. This enemy
will sometimes drop an Fizzy Soda (recovers 20 HP) when defeated.
-Lucas: standard attack
-Duster: standard attack
-Kumatora: standard attack
-Boney: standard attack
f)Surprise Box
�r�b�N���� "Bikkuri Bako"
(A jack-in-the-box)
Type: Mechanical
Vulnerable: Freeze, paralysis
HP: 777
Attacks
-Standard attack

-PK Fire[beta]
Damage: 80~100 HP to all
Effect: may burn its targets
-Emit a memory wiping flash
Effect: make a single party member forget their special abilities
-Be surprised
Effect: none
Strategy
If you fight this enemy with good combos, you should be able to win in a
couple rounds and before it is able to inflict too much damage. Use
Kumatora's strongest Freeze attack and have everyone else use their
standard attack. The rhythm of this enemy's battle music slows down at a
few points, but it is consistent overall.
-Lucas: standard attack
-Duster: standard attack
-Kumatora: Freeze[alpha] (5 PP) or [beta] (10 PP)
-Boney: standard attack
g)Li'l Miss Marshmallow
�}�V���}������� "Mashumarochan"
(A robotic maid/guard in King P.'s Room)
Type: Mechanical
Vulnerable: Thunder
Recommended Level: 25
Attacks (Phase 1)
-Slap attack
Damage: 40~60 HP
-Slap you silly
Effect: attack twice
Damage: 40~70 HP per hit
-Spill some hot tea
Damage: 60~70 HP to all
-Search you
Effect: none
Attacks (Phase 2)
-Swing around its scissors
Damage: 70~90 HP
-Drill attack
Damage: 70~90 HP
-Wildly trash around
Damage: 100~120 HP to three party members
Strategy
Take advantage of Li'l Miss Marshmallow's weaker first phase by setting
up your defenses and lowering the killer robot's stats. Use Shield[alpha]
(6 PP) on everyone and use it again if someone's shield is weakened (a
shield can protect from up to 3 attacks). Use Duster's Scary Mask and
Tickle Feather until they work 2 or 3 times while Kumatora uses Paralysis
[alpha] (8 PP) until successful (it should only take two or three tries
at most). Recover with Kumatora's Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) or a food item in
Boney's inventory when needed.
By the time you enter the second phase, most of the party should be
shielded and your stats adjusted. Be aggressive with your attacks to end
this phase quickly. Have Boney and Duster use Saltwater Guns (a gray gun
with a yellow nozzle) and Pencil Rockets while Kumatora uses PK Thunder
[alpha] (7 PP). Recover with Lucas's Lifeup as needed. This phase should
hopefully last only two or three rounds.
-Lucas: (phase 1) Shield[alpha] only (6 PP)
(phase 2) standard attack
(phase 2) Lifeup, as needed
-Duster: (first few turns) Scary Mask
(phase 1) Tickle Feather
(phase 1) standard attack
(phase 2) Saltwater Gun or Pencil Rockets
(phase 2) standard attack
-Kumatora: (first few turns) Paralysis[alpha] (8 PP)
(phase 1) Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP)
(phase 1) Defense Down[alpha] (7 PP)
(phase 2) PK Thunder[alpha] (7 PP)
-Boney: standard attack
food item, as needed
(phase 2) Saltwater Guns or Pencil Rockets
h)Short Circuit Zap!
�낤�ł�o�V�����I "Rouden Bashun!"
Type: Mysterious Creature
Vulnerable: Freeze, feeling strange
Resistant: Thunder
HP: 300
Attacks
-PK Thunder[alpha]
Effect: summons one bolt; may paralyze its target
Damage: 90~120 HP per bolt
-PK Thunder[beta]
Effect: summons two bolts; may paralyze its target
Damage: 90~120 HP per bolt
-PK Flash
Effect: causes crying, feeling strange, paralysis, or instant defeat
Strategy
Use Kumatora's PK Freeze[alpha] and standard attacks. You should be able
to defeat this enemy in one or two rounds.
This enemy's battle music rhythm is slightly different from other songs.
Instead of timing your button presses with the tempo of the music, you
have to follow the bass line of the song. I've found it to be slightly
harder then most songs, but you should be able to get about 2~5 hits in a
consistent manner.
-Lucas: standard attack
-Duster: standard attack
-Kumatora: Freeze[alpha] (5 PP)
-Boney: standard attack
i)Mr. Genetor
�W�F�l�b�^���� "Jenettakun"
Type: Mechanical
Vulnerable: Freeze
Resistant: Thunder
Recommended Level: 26
Attacks
-1 million volt attack
Damage: 70~100 HP
-Spin around its arms
Damage: 60~80 HP to two party members
-Store electricity
Effect: prepare for its discharge attack
-Discharge crash attack
Damage: 120~140 HP to all
Comments: The Mr. Genetor will shut down for a few rounds after it uses
this attack.
-Shut down
Effect: the Mr. Genetor becomes inactive for a few turns
Comments: This always occurs after the Mr. Genetor uses its discharge
attack.
-Charge itself
Effect: recover 100 HP
Comments: The Mr. Genetor will use this move while it's shut down.
-Break down
Effect: the Mr. Genetor will be unable to do anything
Comments: This seems to occur when the Mr. Genetor is close to being
defeated.
-Shock you
Damage: 20 HP
Comments: This occurs when a party member touches the Mr. Genetor while
it's still active. Do not use standard attacks until the Mr.
Genetor has shut down. You cannot use combos if you get
shocked.
Strategy
Do not use standard attacks while Mr. Genetor is active. Instead, rely
on PK Freeze[alpha] (5 PP) to inflict damage and have Boney use any
Saltwater Guns (a gray gun with a yellow nozzle), Pencil Rockets, and any
other offensive items in his inventory while Mr. Genetor is charged with
electricity.
For defense, use Lucas's PK Flash (12 PP) to make Mr. Genetor cry and
Duster's Scary Mask to reduce its Offense three times. Next, use Offense
Up [alpha] (6 PP) on Lucas, Duster, and Boney while Duster uses the
Tickle Feather. Keep each party member's HP above 130 with Lifeup.
When the Mr. Genetor shuts down, combo with Lucas, Duster, and Boney
while Kumatora uses Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) to recover each party member.
Revert back to the previous attack pattern when Mr. Genetor charges back
up.
-Lucas: (first turn) PK Flash (12 PP), to make Mr. Genetor cry
Offense Up[alpha] (6 PP), on Lucas, Duster, and Boney
Lifeup, if a party member's HP falls to 130 or below
standard attack, while Mr. Genetor is shut down
-Duster: Scary Mask
Tickle Feather
standard attack, while Mr. Genetor is shut down
-Kumatora: Freeze[alpha] (5 PP)
Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP), while Mr. Genetor is shut down
-Boney: Saltwater Guns or Pencil Rockets
defend
standard attack, while Mr. Genetor is shut down
WALKTHROUGH
a)Thunder Tower Base
When you enter the tower and go up the elevator, go west and recover with
the Amazing Capsule. Examine the vending machine and buy any weapons you may
need as well. There is also a gift box here that contains a map of the
tower.
Your destination is the large room in the center of the first floor. The
room is indicated by a thunder icon on your map. There are gift boxes that
contain a Cow Hat (armor; increases Defense by 10), a DCMC Pamphlet (weapon;
makes DCMC fans jealous), and a Pencil Rocket (inflicts 100~300 HP of damage
to all enemies) in the other rooms. The Cow Hat is in the smaller room
marked by a second thunder icon, and I recommend you equip it on Boney if
you get it. The DCMC Pamphlet is in the room in the northwest corner, and
you should get it if you do not have any DCMC items on you. The Pencil
Rocket is in the northeast corner.
You will be fighting the Fierce Pork Trooper again soon, so make sure that
the party is near max HP and that Boney is carrying a DCMC Pamphlet. There
are some mechanical enemies in the tower, and they can be quite troublesome
if you get careless. The Minor Robots in particular can be damaging with
their Bombs, and the Battery Man can recover the Minor Robot's HP to max.
When you reach the large room in the middle of the first floor, you will
find a large water tank with electric eels inside. These electric eels power
the lightning gun at the top of the tower, and a couple of Pigmasks are
fruitlessly trying to scare the eels into discharging their electricity.
When you climb the ladder to the second floor, a new version of the Fierce
Pork Trooper will be waiting. It is blocking the way to the top, so talk to
it to fight.
b)Fierce Pork Trooper
Have Bone use a DCMC Pamphlet whenever the Pigmask is not solidified with
jealousy. Use Duster's Tickle Feather to reduce the Defense of the Pigmask
at least once, and have him use standard attacks thereafter. Use Kumatora's
PK Fire[beta] (12 PP) as much as possible, and have Lucas use his standard
attack and Lifeup as needed. If you are good at combos, you should be able
to end this battle before the Pigmask is unable to inflict mortal damage. If
you are not confident in your combo skills, use Duster's Scary Mask to
reduce this boss's Offense just in case, and don't let anyone's HP fall
below 100.
When you win the battle, Fassad will approach and reveal your identity as an
imposter. The party will run away by climbing up the ladder and remove their
disguises when they get to the top.
You won't be needing any DCMC items anymore, so throw away or sell the DCMC
Pamphlet the next time you get the chance. There is a gift box near the
ladder that contains a Trivia Card 2 (the answer is "Croquette Bread").
Obtain it if you want and start climbing up the tower. On the way, you will
encounter some Screwlooses, but they can be easily defeated.
c)King P.'s Room
Eventually you will reach a place called "King P.'s Room." Recover in the
hot spring and save if you need to.
There are a few things you can do in this room. There are three gift boxes
here that contain a Saltwater Gun (damages metallic enemies), a Made-You-
-Look (makes an enemy turn around), and a Secret Herb (cures all status
effects). The fourth gift box is an enemy called the Surprise Box. If you
end up fighting it, attack with good combos and have Kumatora use Freeze
[alpha] (5 PP). You should be able to defeat it in a couple rounds, before
it inflicts major damage. You will be rewarded with a good amount of exp.
points for the fight.
In the northwest corner of the room, there is a glass case that contains a
Yo-yo. The Friend's Yo-yo is a pretty good weapon, but you'll have to fight
the guard robot, Li'l Miss Marshmallow, to obtain it. Before fighting the
robot, put all your offensive items, including Saltwater Guns, into Boney
and Duster's inventories. Recover at the hot spring if you are not at max
HP/PP. Examine the glass case and Li'l Miss Marshmallow will attack. Play
defensively in the beginning and have Lucas only use Shield[alpha] (6 PP) to
protect the party. Use Duster's Scary Mask to lower the robot's Offense
while Kumatora uses Paralysis[alpha] (8 PP) to paralyze it. Use Kumatora's
Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) or a food item from Boney's inventory to recover. Be
aggressive in the second phase and use Saltwater Guns, Pencil Rockets, PK
Thunder[alpha] (7 PP) and combos. The second phase should only last about
two rounds. If you obtain the Friend's Yo-yo, equip it on either Lucas or
Duster.
NOTE: Check the jukebox in the northeast corner of the room to hear either
the Drug Store theme or the Hotel theme from EarthBound.
Climb up the ladder to move on.
d)Mr. Genetor
You may encounter some Short Circuit Blasts! in the above areas. Use Freeze
[alpha] (5 PP) and standard attacks and you should be able to defeat them in
one or two rounds.
Part way up the tower, Lucas will be struck by a bolt of electricity from
the generator. This will cause Lucas to learn PK Flash (12 PP), a PSI move
that may cause crying, feeling strange, paralysis, or instant defeat to all
enemies on screen. I've never found this move to be particularly useful, but
it may come in handy when fighting a group of normal enemies.
When you get to the top of the tower, attempt to leave through the southern
exit. An alarm will sound and a security robot will emerge from the
generator.
Do not use standard attacks while this boss is active, as you will receive
20 HP of electrical damage if you do so. Instead, have Kumatora use Freeze
[alpha] (5 PP) while Lucas makes it cry with PK Flash (12 PP) and Duster
uses his Scary Mask and Tickle Feather to decrease its Offense. Have Boney
use Saltwater Guns or Pencil Rockets and defend when he runs out of items to
use. Use Lucas's Lifeup to keep the party's HP above 135.
After the robot uses its discharge attack, it will shut down. Have Lucas,
Duster, and Boney use their standard attacks while Kumatora uses Lifeup
[alpha] (5 PP) to recover the party. When the robot becomes active again,
revert back to the old attack pattern.
When you win the battle, Fassad will appear and chase the party outside.
Climb up the ladder and approach the large gun. Fassad will follow and start
taunting you.
Fassad:
"Nuheheheheheh!
You idiots.
You have nowhere to run!
Nuheheheheheh!
You've done well in disrupting our plans.
We would've given you happiness if you just lived quietly in
Tatsumairi Village and minded your own business."
[ Fassad eats a banana and gets a call ]
Fassad:
"Good, you're ready.
I'll finish up here soon. Bring up the Pig Craft and wait for me."
[ Fassad hangs up ]
Fassad:
"The Thunder Tower's now useless.
But this is the perfect chance to get rid of you all.
I don't mean to waste my breath on 3 mangy rats but our King likes to
do things with pizzazz.
That's why we're going to eliminate you in style by destroying the
Thunder Tower along with you on it."
[ An aircraft approaches ]
Fassad:
"Looks like my ride is here.
Now, if you'll excuse me ladies and gentlemen, I have to get going."
[ Fassad calls ]
Fassad:
"Alright, I'm ready.
Destroy the tower!"
[ The tower begins to shake ]
Fassad:
"Well then, Lucas.
We've only known each other for a short time, but I won't forget you.
Nuheheheheheheh
Heeeheheheheh!"
[ A large explosion, and Fassad slips on the banana peel ]
[ The aircraft descends ]
Kumatora:
"Grab the ladder!"
Duster:
"Rope Snake! Go!"
After a scene, the chapter summary will appear.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The living creatures of dirt. The Tower that can create lightning. The winding
highway. And the flying ship.
The enemy Lucas and his fiends have to face is much more advanced. Is there
any hope of defeating such a wicked and powerful foe?
No.
We can't think like that.
Even if the odds are a million to one,
there is still some chance of prevailing.
Lucas
Kumatora
Duster
Are the three going to be struck down again.
Or are they going to come together and stand back up despite their setbacks?
And who was that Masked Man looking down on Lucas and his friends from the
ship...?
The story leaves the fierce battles lingering and moves on to the next
chapter.

WALKTHROUGH
a)"That Time"
The chapter will begin with some dialogue.
Wes:
"He's sleeping well.
Good thing he's not hurt."
[ Lucas wakes up ]
Alec:
"Ah, he's awake.
Boney's got a nice spring in his step too."
Talk to Alec and he'll tell you why he made a pile of straw where Lucas and
Boney landed.
Alec:
"Hinawa came to me in a dream and told me to pile up some straw.
Hinawa saved you two."
When you try to leave, Alec will stop you.
Alec:
"Was Duster with you?
>Yes >No (Answer "yes" and Alec will say a few extra things)
| Is that right.
| Well...
| We probably don't have to worry.
| I'll tell Wes about him.
Lucas, it looks like you've met my friend.
You can trust them despite how they look.
They just might be able to help you."
(7C1)
When you go outside, Boney will spot something and run off. Run over to the
bridge and you will find Ionia tied up on the ground. The people around him
are wary and hesitate to help him. Talk to him to stand him up.
Ionia:
"Mmph ngmph mggg...
.............haaah!
Whew, I took off the gag myself!
I wriggled my mouth like this and that and
loosened it little by little!
Yay me!
Can you help me up, please?"
[ Lucas stands Ionia up ]
Ionia:
"Thank you!
I was attacked while I was washing off my makeup.
Oh my?!
Aren't you the boy I met at the hot spring!
I guess our fates are tied together.
I figured there was something special about you as soon as I saw
you could use PSI.
That's right,
the person we Magypsies have been waiting for the last few thousand
years is probably you...right?
You're probably aware of it yourself.
"That time" is getting closer...
It's okay if you don't know, since I'm not too sure either.
But, if I was attacked, that means...
Maybe...
Oh no! I wonder if Aeolia is okay?
But I don't have my makeup on and I can't fly,
so I guess I'll just have to walk.
You're coming with me!
To Aeolia's house! Okay?
>Yes >No (Answer "yes")
Paddler:
"Just a minute there you two.
I have noooo idea what you're talking about, but
if you're going up the river, leave it to us.
C'mon!"
Follow the two paddlers to their boat and talk to them. Answer "yes" to his
offer and he will take you up the river.
(7C2)
When you get off the boat, walk east, go to Aeolia's house, and talk to him.
Aeolia will be wondering what happened to Ionia and asks him why he's tied
up. Ionia will realize he forgot to untie himself, and asks Lucas to free
him.
When Ionia goes to put his makeup back on, talk to him. He will compliment
himself on his "beauty" and a strange rumble will shake the house. When the
shaking stops, Aeolia will begin to fade away.
Ionia:
"Oh my!
Aeolia!
Your body, your body, your body is disappearing?!"
Aeolia:
"My! My, my!
You're right, you're right!
I'm disappearing, I'm disappearing!
I'm disappearing, but I feel fine."
Ionia:
"But...if you're disappearing, then that means...?"
[ Scene of the needle at Osohe Castle ]
Aeolia:
"The needle at Osohe Castle I've been protecting...
has been pulled by someone.
Somebody who can pull the needle...has finally appeared.
The Dragon of Darkness sealed by the 7 needles will awaken..."
[ Aeolia lifts the table and reveals a secret passage ]
Aeolia:
"You can go to Osohe Castle from this underground passage.
I'm going to disappear if the needle has been pulled, but...
You should make sure, just in case.
Did a person with a heart of darkness pull the needle.
Or did a person with a heart of light pull the needle.
The fate of the world will change depending on the heart of the
person.
Ahh, today is the day I disappear, I guess.
Ionia, what's-your-name, little doggy...
Bye byeee."
[ Aeolia disappears ]
Ionia:
"Aeolia...
you were so full of life.
That's why we got along so well.
Well!
Let's go through the underground passage and get to Osohe Castle."
Examine the leftover lipstick and razor on Aeolia's chair to pick up
Aeolia's Memento, an item that will automatically revive its carrier when
their HP reaches 0.
Climb down the ladder into the underground passage. Inside, you will
encounter some Cleocatras, but you should be able to defeat them in one or
two rounds. They can be a little annoying if you end up fighting a group, so
use Lucas's PK Love[alpha] (10 PP) if you start having trouble. You can find
three gift boxes in the underground passage that contain a Beef Jerky
(recovers 60 HP), an Rotten Milk (turn into Yogurt after a few minutes), and
a Magic Tart (recovers 30 PP).
When you get to the end of the underground passage, you will emerge near
where the needle once was.
Ionia:
"Just as we thought, the needle's been pulled...
I have no idea who pulled it.
The Dragon of Darkness reflects the heart of the person who pulls the
needle...
...is what they say, but there is no indication of what kind of heart
the person has.
Neither a good heart nor a wicked heart.
...strange.
I wonder if there's such thing as a person with no heart.
The Dragon of Darkness will be sealed for eternity...is what we
thought.
......
No, there's still a chance.
You were able to learn PK Love, weren't you.
Maybe you could...
Oh, wait.
I haven't told you anything, have I.
I should tell you about these needles."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, know this.
This island is a specially protected place.
This island we live on
exists along with a limitless power.
That power is the dragon.
The power belongs to a dragon that
sleeps in darkness underneath the island.
The dragon is unbelievably big.
...It's about the same size as the island.
Because of the sleeping dragon,
this island is protected from all forms of disaster.
But, the dragon's power is too
strong for humans to control.
That's why a long, long time ago, the ancestors
of the Magypsies struck 7 needles to put the
dragon to sleep.
Each needle for each Magypsy.
We've been living all this time
protecting the needles.
But, someday a person who will
awaken the dragon will appear...
It has been said that a time will
come when the dragon's power is
needed.
It's just that, if the person who awakens the dragon
has a heart of darkness, all of the dragon's power will
become evil. More likely than not, the person's evil wishes
will come true, and everything will be destroyed...
There is that possibility.
Of course, we want the opposite to happen.
If a person with a good heart pulls the needles and joins
with the dragon's power, the evil flow of fate will disappear
and life will shine with light.
That's what they say.
Also,
Don't worry and listen...
If the needle a Magypsy has been protecting is
pulled, the Magypsy will end its 10,000 year
existence and disappear.
We're so romantic.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ionia:
"I'm going to tell you one more thing.
The only people who can pull the seven needles
are those that can use PK Love...
That is something even we Magypsies can't do.
In other words, you are a boy chosen to pull the needles."
Walk south and examine the cell phone.
"C, c, c, commander!
Please come quickly!
The location of the second needle has been confirmed!
We need the mon, mon, monkey!
The monkey opens the way!
Argh, this is annoying!
The monkey!
I'll explain later!
P, p, please come to the Chimera Lab!
You know where the Chimera Lab is, right sir?
>Yes >No (it does not matter what you say)
Huh?
Commander.
Your voice sounds livelier than usual!
Well, whatever.
Actually, I don't remember where it is either...
Take the train from the Crossroad, go north of the factory to the
Ropeway, and turn west, correct sir?
>Yes >No (if you answer "no," the caller will repeat himself)
Thank you, sir!
I'll leave for the Chimera Lab immediately!
The monkey! Trouble!
The needle!
You should panic too, sir!
*beep*"
[ "You got the Transceiver!" ]
b)Badge of Courage
Talk to Ionia. He will tell you to go through another underground passage
back to town. He will then fly away to go back to his own needle.
Climb down the ladder to the right and walk through the passage. Unlock the
door at the end, and you will emerge in the basement of Osohe Castle. There
are a couple strong enemies down here, but the way is short and you should
survive. Just make sure your HP is not below 100.
When you leave Osohe Castle and enter the graveyard, Boney will pull you to
Hinawa's grave. There, you'll find the gravedigger, and he tells you Flint
was just here. He left to go into the mountains to look for Claus like he
does everyday. Flint asked the gravedigger to give something to Lucas and he
hands you Flint's Badge of Courage. The Badge is rusty and useless the way
it is now, but Flint has treasured it since he was a child and wants Lucas
to have it.
c)To the Chimera Lab
(7C3)
When you walk south into the Crossroad, you will receive another phone call
and be reminded of how to get to the Chimera Lab (take the train from the
Crossroad, go north of the factory to the Ropeway, and turn west).
If you take the time to talk to the townspeople, you'll hear rumors of a
place called "New Pork City." Many people are attracted to the city life and
are getting ready to move there. Also, if you go to the western part of
town, you'll find the beach has been turned into a recreational area. There
is a street vendor there that will sell you a couple food items and an Aloha
Coat (Defense +8; protects from Fire) if you want them.
You can also examine the ocean and dive underwater. You will not have to
cross the ocean until later in the game, so ignore it for now.
When you are ready, go through the train tunnel. You can open two previously
unreachable gift boxes that contain a Super Bomb (200~500 HP to all enemies)
and a Luxury Banana (recovers 120 HP). If you want to take the train, talk
to the man on the train station.
"The train is cheap, convenient, and easier than walking.
It will cost 50 DP per person.
Would you like to ride?
>Yes >No (Answer "yes")
Would you like to ride the more luxurious Green Train?
The Green Train is a little more expensive
but do you want to ride it?
>Yes >No"
The Green Train costs 200 DP, but you won't get anything for riding it other
than different traveling music; it will also make Lucas feel happy inside
at the end of the ride. Take whichever you want, go north of the factory to
the Ropeway, and turn west to the Chimera Lab.

ENEMIES
a)Squawking Boomstick
�L�P���Ԃ傤�ڂ� "Kiken Bunchou Bou"
(A bird's head attached to a stick)
Type: Organic Chimera
Vulnerable: Freeze, paralysis
HP: 400
Attacks
-Stare at you
Effect: none
-Self-Destruct
Damage: 280 HP to all
Comments: If you end the battle quickly, you should only suffer about 30
HP of damage at most.
Strategy
You should be able to defeat this enemy in one or two rounds. If it self-
destructs, you will not receive any experience points.
-Lucas: standard attack
-Boney: standard attack
b)Batangutan
�R�E���E�[�^�� "Koumoutan"
(A bat with a orangutan's head)
Type: Organic Chimera
Vulnerable: Fire, sleep
HP: 213
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 3~6 HP
-Fling a flea at you
Effect: infested party member will sometimes fail to use special attacks
-Be absentminded
Effect: none
Strategy
You should be able to defeat this enemy in one round.
This enemy's battle music steadily increases its tempo from very slow to
very fast. To execute combos, time you button presses with each quarter
beat instead of each drum beat in the music (the drums sometimes sound on
each eighth beat). This is actually one of the easier songs to execute
combos with, so you should get the hang of it very quickly.
-Lucas: standard attack
-Boney: standard attack
c)Pigtunia
�Ԃ����� "Buta Kusa"
(A three headed pig plant)
Type: Organic Chimera
Vulnerable: Fire, sleep
HP: 352
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 20~26 HP
-Make something spin around
Effect: drains some PP from a party member
-Scatter some pollen
Effect: makes a party member start crying
-Sow some seeds around itself
Effect: another Pigtunia may join the battle
Strategy
You should be able to defeat this enemy in one or two turns. This enemy
sometimes drops Flea Powder (removes fleas) when defeated.
-Lucas: standard attack
-Boney: standard attack
d)Horsantula
�E�}���`���� "Umanchura"
(A horse with eight legs)
Type: Organic Chimera
Vulnerable: Fire, crying
HP: 456
Attacks
-Charge forward
Damage: 80~90 HP
-Thrash around
Damage: 85~100 HP to all
-Let out a swift kick
Damage: 80~90 HP
-Take a bite using its poisonous fangs
Effect: poisons its target
-Offense Up[alpha]
Effect: increases its Offense by about 20%
Strategy
Good combos are needed against the Horsantula, and you should be able to
defeat this enemy in two rounds. If you end up fighting this enemy with
the Ostrelephant, use Lucas's PK Flash (12 PP) to make them start crying.
This enemy sometimes drops an Antidote (cures poison).
-Lucas: standard attack
PK Flash (12 PP), if facing a group
-Boney: standard attack
e)Ostrelephant
�����傤�]�E "Dachou Zou"
(An ostrich with an elephant's head as a body)
Type: Organic Chimera
Vulnerable: Fire, crying
HP: 400
Attacks
-Charge forward
Damage: 70~80 HP
-Continuous peck attack
Effect: the Ostrelephant hits twice
Damage: 20~30 HP per hit
-Fan its ears
Effect: none
Strategy
Good combos are needed against the Ostrelephant, and you should be able
to defeat this enemy in about two rounds. If you end up fighting this
enemy with the Horsantula, use PK Flash (12 PP) in order to make them
start crying.
The rhythm pattern of this enemy's battle music is unique. The first two
beats are slow and are followed by three quick beats--the beginning of
the song introduces the pattern.
-Lucas: standard attack
PK Flash (12 PP)
-Boney: standard attack
f)Einswine
�Ԃ��݂� "Butamiso"
(A pig with an extra large brain)
Type: Mechanical Chimera
Vulnerable: Fire, feeling strange
HP: 387
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 30~40 HP
-PK Freeze[beta]
Damage: 90~130 HP
Effect: may solidify its target
-PK Thunder[beta]
Effect: summons two lightning bolts; may paralyze its target
Damage: 100~130 HP per bolt
-Shield[omega]
Effect: reduces damage from physical attacks by 50% for all enemies;
prevents combos
-Brainshock[omega]
Effect: makes the entire party feel strange
Strategy
You should be able to defeat this enemy in about two rounds. Make good
use of the rolling HP counter against this enemy and don't recover until
your HP counter rolls down to about 100 or so. Until then, be aggressive
and keep attacking. You should be able to win before a party member
reaches 0 HP. If you face this enemy in a group, don't hesitate to use PK
Love[alpha] (10 PP).
This enemy's battle music rhythm is slightly different from other songs.
Instead of timing your button presses with the tempo of the music, you
have to follow the bass line of the song. I've found it to be slightly

WALKTHROUGH
a)The Chimera Lab
There are some new enemies around the Chimera Lab, and a couple of them are
pretty powerful. If you end up facing the Horsantula or the Ostrelephant,
have Lucas use PK Flash (12 PP) to make them cry (or even instantly defeat
them). Always make sure your HP is above 100 before you fight and attack
with good combos.
When you get to the Chimera Lab, talk to the Pigmask outside. He identifies
Lucas as a part-time worker. He tells you there are monkeys on the loose in
the lab, and he wants you to watch the entrance while he goes inside to help
out. Deliberately disobey his request and enter the lab.
There are a couple of vendors in the first room from which you can buy
items. Examine the vending machine (looks like a pig's face) and buy the
Very Good Stick for Lucas. If you talk to the scientist, he will sell you
some status affecting items. The first two items can increase a party
member's Offense or Defense by 40%. The last two items will either
strengthen or weaken an enemy and appropriately increase or decrease the
amount of experience points you earn. The enemy weakening item can even work
against bosses, so use it if you are having trouble in fights (you can find
one in a locker on the third floor if you don't want to pay 1200 DP).
Talk to the Pigmask blocking the way forward.
"You can't come in here!
Don't even try to find another way around, understand!"
Go through the door to the southeast. The "other way around" is behind the
curtain on stage. There is a little light where the door is.
Examine the open locker and Lucas and Boney will put on Pigmasks. With these
helmets on, you'll be able to go deeper into the lab.
Walk a few rooms ahead and you should find a gift box that contains a Lab
Map (press R to view it).
When you enter the hallway, a Pigmask will tell you to help search for the
two loose monkeys.
Your destination is the room at the northwest corner of the second floor. If
you go directly there, however, you'll miss out on a few gift boxes. On the
first floor, you can find a Saltwater Gun (150~250 HP to mechanical enemies)
in a projector room and a Bomb (150~400 HP to all) in the southwest room. On
the second floor, there are gift boxes that contain a Secret Herb (cures all
status effect) in the room just before the western elevator and a Doggy
Biscuit (recovers 60 HP for Boney) in the room in the southwest. You can
also ride the east elevator up to the third floor and examine the lockers to
obtain an Edible Mushroom (recovers 20 HP) and an Enemy Wimperizer (weakens
an enemy, but reduces earned exp. points).
b)Almost Mecha-Lion
Before moving on, make sure you are at max HP/PP (recover at the hot spring
in the lab if needed). Also, put your best food items into Boney's
inventory. Go to the room in the northwest of the second floor.
In the room, you will find Salsa and his girlfriend hiding behind a table.
Approach them, and they will run away from you.
Go back a couple rooms and enter the skeleton room. There, two Pigmasks will
activate a mechanical lion, and the lion will attack before the Pigmasks can
stop it.
Use Lucas's Shield[alpha] (6 PP) on Boney and Lucas, and use Offense Up
[alpha] (6 PP) on Boney. Use Lifeup[beta] (9 PP) when someone's HP falls
below 90~100 HP and use standard attacks when you can. Have Boney focus on
attacking and use his standard attack. If he has any Saltwater Guns, use
them.
When you win, a Clayman will come in and finish the job. The Pig Men inform
you that another, more ferocious beast is loose in the lab. It's red and has
a huge mouth, and you should run away if you see it.
c)The Ultimate Chimera
(7C4)
Your next destination is the basement, and the elevator down is on the first
floor in the west room. Unfortunately, the huge beast the Pig Men were
talking about is right in front of the entrance to the room, and it's game
over if you come into contact with it. You're going to have to do a bit of
tricky maneuvering to get around it and into the door. Walk down the stairs
and wait until the beast moves toward a wall. When the way is clear, run
around the beast and into the door. It's going to be a close call, but you
should be able to do it relatively easily. If it spots you before you start
running, just go back to the second floor and come back.
When you reach the elevator, the blue Pigmask there will tell you the
monkeys are downstairs. He says his stomach hurts and he can't go after
them, so he leaves them to you and runs off. Enter the elevator and go down.
There is a gift box here that contains Pork Stew (recovers 100 HP). If you
talk to the scientist here, you'll find out the monkeys let the big red
chimera loose.
When you reach the end of the basement, you will see the two monkeys again.
They will run off, and you'll have to go back upstairs.
The red beast is now in the room to the right of the elevator. You don't
have to go in there, so it shouldn't get in your way. Walk back into the
hallway.
(7C5)
After you see Salsa and his friend run away, move forward a bit and examine
the large trash can. Inside, you will find a scientist.
"You didn't ask but...
My name is Dr. Andonuts.
I was threatened by someone into
doing a number of experiments.
Right now, I'm hiding from something.
I'm rather busy now, so talk to me later."
Dr. Andonuts is the brilliant and silly professor who first made his
appearance in Mother 2. He played an important role in that game and will
play a somewhat important role in this game as well.
Go into the room all the way down the hall. There you will find the two
monkeys again.
As soon as Lucas and Boney enter the room, the big red chimera will come
inside. Dr. Andonuts will come in and explain what it is.
"I just recalled the weakness of this chimera, and summoned the
courage to come here."
[ The chimera roars, charges at Lucas and Boney, and knocks their
helmets off ]
"This creature is a highly advanced electronically controlled chimera.
The only way to deactivate it is to press the button on its back."
[ The chimera roars, and chases Lucas, Boney, and Dr. Andonuts ]
"Press the button on its back!
Come now!
Be brave!
Use the dog as bait!"
[ Boney yelps, and the chimera roars ]
[ Salsa comes in and presses the button on the chimera ]
"Oh...
Thank you, young man. And you too, Monkey.
I think I'll take this opportunity to quit working for the military
and channel my energies toward the preservation and wellbeing of life
from now on.
Oh...
Do you agree with my idea.
Thank you, doggy!"
[ Boney growls ]
"S, sorry about that!
The whole thing about using you as bait was just a joke!"
[ Boney chases Dr. Andonuts ]
"It's a misunderstanding! A misunderstaaandiiing!!"
After the party leaves, you will see the little bird reactivate the chimera.
You'll later find out that it escapes from the lab (you can see a hole in
the window to the left of the entrance to the lab).
d)The Second Needle
Follow the girl monkey once outside. Go into the next area and examine the
door to the north.
When you gain control of Salsa, examine the door again and press left or
right to start dancing.
Go through the door, head north, and enter the house. Inside, you'll find
the Magypsy, Doria, talking to Kumatora. Kumatora will introduce you to
Doria, who will recognize you as the one Ionia told him about. Go outside
when Doria leaves to see where the needle is. You can also examine the sign
on the left to read what Ionia told you at the beginning of the chapter.
Talk to Doria outside. He will tell you that the needle is under a pool of
water, and you will have to transfer the water to the empty hole in order to
get to the bottom. You'll have to return to the Chimera Lab and find
something you can transfer the water with. Before you do that, though, open
the gift box in this area to find the Magic Gloves (weapon for Kumatora).
Dr. Andonuts will be standing outside the lab. Talk to him and he will show
you three chimeras you could possibly use. The first one is called the
Drier, a chimera that can exhale a blast of air with its built-in jet
engine. The middle ones are the Bucket Twins, two high-tech, hard working
creations. The third one is called the Pump Chimera, a bland and boring
creature.
The correct option, of course, is the striped Pump Chimera. If you choose
one of the wrong chimeras, you'll see a scene of them failing at their task
and you'll have to choose again.
Climb into the hole after removing the water and examine the needle.
Kumatora and Doria will say a few things about how Doria will disappear once
the needle is pulled, but Doria is ready and is excited because "that time"
has arrived. Answer "yes" when prompted to pull the needle.
After the scene, Lucas will learn PK Love[beta] (20 PP) and Doria will start
to fade away. Just before Doria disappears, he will give Lucas his memento
(automatically revives a party member with 0 HP). If Lucas's inventory is
full, you can enter his house later and find it there.
When Doria disappears, Kumatora will ask to join you. Before the two leave,
they say goodbye to Salsa and his girlfriend and receive a Nut as a parting
gift.
EXTRAS
a)An Old Magazine
EarthBound players may remember a house that was for sale in the town of
Onett. If you went inside the house and examined the drawers, there was a
strange magazine in there that told a humorous story. That magazine makes
an appearance in Mother 3 as well. Go to the first floor of the Chimera Lab
and into the storage room in the northwest. Examine the shelves to find the
magazine again.
"You found a really old magazine.
Do you want to read it?
>Yes >No" (if you answer "no," the dialogue below won't appear)
"'My Secret Life'
Chapter 3
(A summary of the previous chapters)
I was neither a murder suspect nor a target of an international spy
ring, but I was speeding down the highway at 80 kilometers per hour.
...the police officer got out of his car, examined my license, and
told me I was going 20 kph over the speed limit.
I quickly pointed to my wife in the passenger seat and told the
officer, 'M, my wife is in labor...and we're in a hurry.'
My wife's belly was indeed quite big. I hoped the police officer would
let me go.
'I see.
...that's pretty serious.
I'll lead you to the hospital.'
'No, no. You can't do that.'
'Why not,' the police officer asked.
'...b, because...'
'Let's go.'
'No!
This baby...is a demon child!'"
"It's a really old magazine."

WALKTHROUGH
a)Mole Cricket Hole
If you didn't get the Magic Gloves southeast of the Magypsy's house, go back
through the dancing door and open the gift box to do so. Equip it on
Kumatora.
Walk back south from the Magypsy's house. On the way you will bump into an
irritable mouse. Use standard attacks against him and you should win in one
or two rounds.
When you defeat him, the mouse will revert back to his old, mild-mannered
self and return to his wife and 7 kids at the Highway.
Go to the southeast exit, and this time you'll bump into the mole cricket
from the very beginning of the game. He has been training ever since the day
he fought Lucas and Claus, and he wants a rematch with you right now. He'll
take you to his home underground by digging a hole near the waterfall. Enter
the hole.
You'll see some Lotus Roots blocking some passages underground. You can't
get past them until later, so ignore them for now. There is a hot spring at
the bottom of the steaming hole if you need to recover. You can also talk to
the one mole cricket here:
"We're mole crickets.
We live underground but we're extremely prideful."
Go as far as you can into the hole until you see a mole cricket sitting on a
mat. Talk to the mole cricket next to it and he will challenge you. The
other mole cricket is the elder and will observe the fight to make sure the
battle is fair. There are special rules for this fight. If the battle lasts
for 10 minutes and no clear winner can be determined, there will be a 5
minute extension to the match. If no winner emerges after that, the
observing judge will declare a winner. After this is all explained, the mole
cricket will ask if you are ready. Answer "yes" to start the fight.
Hit him once to win.
After the battle is over, the mole cricket will finally concede defeat.
Elder Mole Cricket:
"Ooooh! Ouch, ouch!
How could such a strong mole cricket like him be so easily
defeated...
I suppose this means we mole crickets aren't capable fighters.
We're going to have to think this through.
The fight is over.
I think we should change our ways and be more helpful to each other.
Let's be friends.
Is there anything we can do for you?"
Kumatora:
"I was wondering,
do you guys know anything about a needle that's sealed the Dragon of
Darkness underground?
That's what we're looking for."
Mole Cricket:
"Mole crickets don't know much about most things.
But I think there was something mysterious like that in the mountains
at the other end of this hole.
I think that's what the elder wants to tell you.
But he's hard to understand."
Elder Mole Cricket:
"Yes, I agree.
The mountains!
Pass through our hole and go to the mountains!
I'm sure of it!"
Kumatora:
"The mountains, huh...
Well, we don't have any other leads, so we might as well go there.
Do you guys know anything at all about the Dragon of Darkness sealed
by the needles?"
Mole Cricket:
"No, we don't.
We're just mole crickets, after all.
Even the elder here is just a mole cricket.
None of us are very capable...sadly.
The most we can do...is eat the Lotus Roots blocking your path and
move them out of the way for you.
Wow...a dragon, huh...
I bet it's awesome."
Elder Mole Cricket:
"I'm sure it is.
I learned quite a bit today.
Like how a dragon sleeps underground and
how needles keep that dragon sealed and
how incredibly weak we are...
It's a good thing I've lived for so long.
Can you be consultants for us mole crickets?
>Yes >No"
It doesn't matter what you answer. At the end of the conversation, the mole
cricket will call his younger brother. Hold him in your inventory and "use"
him to return to this location if you get lost in the hole. The mole cricket
will leave your inventory if you exit the hole, but you can talk to the mole
cricket you fought to receive him again.
Examine the nearby Lotus Root and three mole crickets will come eat it for
you. Talk to the closest mole cricket to receive a map of the hole. The map
is accurate, but it does not differentiate between each floor and is
practically impossible to read.
Talk to the green mole cricket in the southeast corner to save.
"Eh...um...
Would you like to save?
>Yes >No (answer "yes")
Thank you very much!
I'm so glad you believe in me!
I'll properly save for you!"
Eat through the Lotus Root to the south and climb down the vine.
(7C6)
Going through this winding labyrinth is actually very simple. Whenever you
come across a junction, always turn; never go straight. As far as I know,
there are no hidden items or secrets in this maze.
b)Shirogune Mountain
When you reach the exit, the mole cricket in your inventory will jump out
and return home. There are a couple of enemies in this snowy area, but they
are not too hard. If you end up facing a group of these enemies, use
Kumatora's PK Fire[beta] (12 PP) while Lucas and Boney use their standard
attacks.
There is a gift box that contains a Double Jerky (recovers 160 HP) near the
exit of the first area. Be sure to obtain it.
Near the middle of the second area, you will be faced with two different
paths to choose from. The path that goes down leads to a gift box that
contains a Cancer Bracelet (a red ring). Equip it on Kumatora.
The third area is straightforward. Just remember to keep your HP up and use
Fire[beta] as needed.
There will be no more enemies in the fourth area. After you walk a bit
forward, a mole cricket will run toward you from behind and it will offer to
sell you its merchandise. It has some pretty good armor for sale, so be sure
to buy them. The mole cricket will always be waiting for you next to the hot
spring, so talk to it if you want to buy more stuff.
Recover at the hot spring so you're at max HP/PP. Put your best food items
into Boney's inventory as well.
Move forward and you will eventually find Lydia, the next Magypsy. He will
be in the middle of taking care of his rabbits, until the party scares them
away.
Inside his house, you will find a Pigmask Lydia found unconscious outside.
Talk to Lydia again. Ionia has informed Lydia about Lucas, so he already
knows about him. Lydia is a little worried about disappearing, however,
since he needs someone to take care of his rabbits and the injured Pigmask
has not recovered yet either. He is not going to stop Lucas, though, and
unlocks the back door that leads to the needle.
c)Steel Mechorilla
Just before you open the door, you will hear the familiar Pig Army theme. Go
outside and watch the scene. A boss fight will occur.
Use Lucas's Defense Up[omega] (18 PP) in the first three turns while
Kumatora uses Offense Down[alpha] (7 PP). If you are successful, you should
be able to reduce the damage the Mecha-Gorilla inflicts to about 10~30 HP.
Have Boney attack or use food items to recover while this is going on.
Once you have altered the stats, have Lucas us Offense Up[alpha] (6 PP) on
himself. Have Lucas and Boney attack with combos while Kumatora uses Defense
Down[alpha] (7 PP) and Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) when a party member's HP falls
to about 50~60 or below. Whatever you do, don't use PK Thunder. Three
strikes from this attack will short-circuit the Mehca-Gorilla, and it will
start trashing around and damage the entire party.
Head back into Lydia's house. Lydia will come out and realize that someone
other than Lucas has pulled the needle. He gives you his memento
(automatically revives a party member with 0 HP) and tells you to use the
"White Box" beyond the passage ahead to go down the mountain. If your
inventory is full, you can find and obtain the memento inside Lydia's house
later. You can also find the Pigmask (without his mask on) inside the house,
taking care of the rabbits as a favor to Lydia for saving him.
Go into the next area and answer "yes" when prompted. The party will enter
the "White Box" and ride it back to town.

WALKTHROUGH
a)Rescue
When you get out of the "White Box," go north and examine the moving bottle.
"Is here."
The grave will open, and you can go inside.
Keep going and you will soon find another bottle.
"Attacked.
Danger.
Go where thunder is.
Thankful."
Examine the strange looking table here and you can ride it just like a Pork
Bean. Your destination is east of the Thunder Tower. Go toward the dump in
the Highway again but keep going south this time.
When you get to the base of the Thunder Tower, turn east. Eventually, you
will see a few construction vehicles and the end of the road. Get off the
table and go along the dirt path.
There are some Filthy Attack Roaches and Naughty Mushrooms here, but you
should be able to defeat them with little trouble. Before long, you'll see a
creature called a "Mr. Saturn" lying on the ground:
"I look at ceiling."
Keep going forward and you'll reach the Mr. Saturns' Village, Saturn Valley.
The Pig Army is here, unfortunately, and they are in each house trying to
get the Mr. Saturns to reveal where the next needle is. They are
interrogating and coercing the Mr. Saturns by using "Frightbots" that tell
scary stories and make them frightened. You can free them by going into each
house and defeating the Pigmasks if you want to, but you only have to go
into the house in the northeast. Before going in, be sure that each party
member is near max HP.
When you enter the house, you will find the Frightbot making unpleasant
sounds and the Pigmasks asking where the needle is. The Mr. Saturns deny
knowing anything, but the Pigmasks don't believe them. When the Pigmasks
notice the party, they attack.
The Pigmask Majors are pretty tough, so use Lucas's PK Love[beta] (20 PP)
while Kumatora uses PK Freeze[beta] (10 PP). If Boney has any offensive
items such as Bombs (a white ball with a black dot) or Pencil Rockets, use
them. The Frightbot won't do anything, so focus on defeating the Pigmasks
first. Keep in mind, if a Pigmask throws a time bomb at you, the bomb will
explode in two or three rounds or at the end of the battle and will inflict
130~150 HP of damage.
When the battle is over, the party will free the Mr. Saturns and reunite
with Duster.
Kumatora:
"Here you are, Duster!"
[ The party unties Duster ]
Duster:
"Lucas!
Kumatora!
Boney!
Thank goodness you're OK!
I was saved by these nice people in the valley, but
I got captured along with them.
But don't worry, the Egg is safe."
Kumatora:
"I swear...
I don't know if we have good luck or bad luck."
Duster:
"We have good luck.
I'm sure of it..."
Mr. Saturn:
"We would like down."
Duster:
"Let's help these guys down first."
[ The party frees the Mr. Saturns ]
Duster:
"Mm hm, mm hm, mm hmm, I see.
The needles that seal the Dragon of Darkness...hmmmm.
Sounds like I should go too.
Lucas, I'm going with you."
Kumatora:
"We'd drag you with us
whether you wanted to go or not."
[ "Duster joins you!" ]
If you talk to the Mr. Saturn on the left, it will give you a map of the
area. Press R to view the most incomprehensible, absurd, and poorly drawn
map in all of mapmaking history. If you talk to the Mr. Saturn in the middle
of the room, it will tell you where the next needle is:
Mr. Saturn:
"Whew.
Saved."
Duster:
"Do you really not know where the needle the Pigmasks were talking
about is?"
Mr. Saturn:
"I know."
Mr. Saturn:
"I knooow."
Mr. Saturn:
"I do know."
Mr. Saturn:
"I know."
Kumatora:
"They know!
Does that mean they've met one of the Magypsies?"
Mr. Saturn:
"Ding! Ding!
Correct.
Go all the way there. Easy."
Mr. Saturn:
"Zoom, zoom.
You can go there."
Duster:
"When they say there, they must mean over there.
I can tell by looking at their eyes.
...the north!
They must mean towards the volcano to the north."
You can also talk to the Rope Snake, but he seems to be feeling a sense of
shame after he dropped the party from the pig craft at the end of Chapter 5,
and he will not come with you.
If you didn't go into each house beforehand, go into them now and open the
gift boxes inside. You can find a Good Kid's Shirt (Defense +17, IQ +10) in
the southeast house and a Strawberry Tofu (recovers 120 HP) in the northwest
house. You can also find a gift box that contains a Black Collar (armor for
Boney) outside in the northwest. The other gift boxes here contain farts
and just release a stinky smell.
Go into the southwest house and talk to the Mr. Saturn on the left. Buy some
weapons and armor for your party. Be careful of selling your items, however,
since Duster may be able to benefit from some of the other party members'
old equipment (for me it was Lucas's Bantam Charm). Don't worry if you can't
buy everything you want. You should spend some time leveling up Duster soon,
so you'll get some extra money quickly. Note that the pendants you can buy
here will cut damage from Fire, Freeze, or Thunder by 50%.
b)Gomafu Volcano
Attempt to move north and a Mr. Saturn will come out and thank you. Enter
the cave and eventually you will come across a stack of five Mr. Saturns.
They are playing the "ladder game."
"It is the ladder game."
"Heavy."
"You can climb."
"Easy. Easy."
"On top. On top."
When you go outside, open the gift box to obtain the useful Cup of
Lifenoodles (cures all status effects and revives a party member to 100% of
max HP).
Go further north and you will find another gift box that contains farts.
Walk up to the cliff and Duster will examine it. The wall is too hard and he
cannot use his Wall Staple to form a ladder. Talk to the nearby Mr. Saturn
and he will call his buddies to form a ladder for you.
The Mr. Saturns will construct a real ladder for you in a little while, but
first go north and find the next Magypsy's house. In front of the house, you
will find a mole cricket selling recovery items.
When you enter the house, you will find Phrygia sleeping. You cannot wake
him up if you talk to him, but he has left Lucas a note on the nearby sign.
"Welcome.
I am the sleeping Magypsy, Phrygia.
Since I'll probably be asleep when you get here,
I'll write you a letter on this sign.
I'm a little more serious and punctual than the other Magypsies.
Hello, Lucas.
Ionia told me you will be coming.
The needle you need to pull is in a pool of lava up ahead.
You can pull it while I sleep...
This is "that time."
I guess I'm going to disappear in my sleep...
Give a word of encouragement to the rock that's blocking the way to
the volcano.
Good luck.
*Kiss kiss*"
[ "You obtained the word of encouragement!" ]
Examine the big rock blocking the way to move it. Move forward a bit, and
you will come across three smaller rocks. Examine the rock in front first,
the rock behind it second, the rock in front again, and finally the rock in
the middle.
Spend some time fighting the enemies in the volcano to level up Duster. The
Sky Titany and the Mrs. Lava that lurk in the first area should be defeated
with Kumatora's PK Freeze[beta] (10 PP) and standard attacks. Be sure that
the party has ample HP before engaging the Mrs. Lava, as her PK Fire[gamma]
can be very damaging. There are gift boxes that contain a Pencil Rocket
(100~300 HP to all enemies on screen), a Double Jerky (recovers 160 HP), and
Cup of Lifenoodles (cures all status effects and revives party members) in
the first area as well.
NOTE: The Mrs. Lava in this area sometimes drops a Meteotite. This yellow
rock can be sold for 2500 DP.
When you reach the middle of the first area, you will overhear a
conversation between two Pigmasks:
"Hey, did you hear about Mr. Fassad?
I heard he got a major image change."
"Yeah, I know!
I heard he put more strength into his voice.
We better find the needles soon, or he's going to yell at us even
louder than before.
You know...with his trumpet."
"Trumpet?
What the heck!"
When the two Pigmasks notice the party, they attack. Use Freeze[alpha] and
standard attacks, and you should be able to defeat them in two rounds.
When you reach the second area, you will start encountering a few new
enemies. Most of them are pretty weak, but the Magman (a living volcano)
can inflict 60~90 HP of damage to three party members, so make sure you
have ample HP before fighting it. Use Kumatora's Freeze to defeat it in a
couple rounds.
In the south of the second area is a cave that leads to a gift box that
contains a Saltwater Gun (150~250 HP to mechanical and mechanical chimera
type enemies). There is another cave to the west of this area where there
is a gift box that contains a Luxury Banana (recovers 120 HP). There is
also a Magic Butterfly in this cave that recovers a few PP when touched.
You can leave and reenter the cave repeatedly to make the Butterfly
reappear as many times as you want.
Be sure to open the gift box near the middle of the second area to get a
Secret Herb (cures all status effects and partially revives party members).
When Duster reaches about level 33~34, it should be safe to move on. Make
sure each party member is near max HP/PP and put your best food items in
Duster and Boney's inventory.
c)New Fassad
You will find the needle in the north of the second area.
Kumatora:
"There's the needle!"
Translator:
"'I found you,
I have discovered you.
Nuheheheheh!'
...is what Fassad is saying."
[Fassad and a robot descend]
Translator:
"I should have said this first.
I am Fassad's Translator.
Fassad says,
'Because of you I have become much more beautiful and feel brand-
new, but I will not be thanking you.'
'Tender?
...I was thrown off Tender Tower?'
I am not sure I understand.
Ahh,
'from Thunder Tower' is what he is saying.
'The grudge I feel from being thrown off Thunder Tower'
and
'the pain, the shame,
I am upset, upset, upset,
extremely upset.
I will pay you people back ten fold.'
...is what Fassad is saying.
'I'm going to yell at you like crazy'
...'like crazy' correct?
Fassad says,
'There is no way I will lose to you anymore...
Nuheheheheh!'
'Let's go.
I will show you a very adult fear.
And that fear is very grown up.'
He adds, 'Nuheheheheheheheh!'"
Fassad can be a tough opponent. Not only does he have high Offense, he can
also attack twice in one round and cause all sorts of status effects. You
will want to be aggressive in this battle and end the fight as soon as
possible.
Fassad is protected by a shield from the beginning of the battle, so have
Boney use a Shield Snatcher (looks like a wiggly hand) in the first round
and whenever Fassad puts up another shield. Have Lucas use Shield[omega] (18
PP) in the first round and use Offense Up[omega] (18 PP) in the next. Have
Duster use his standard attack while Kumatora uses PK Thunder[beta] (15 PP)
whenever she can.
Fassad has a very powerful bomb attack that inflicts 120~140 HP of damage to
the entire party. In order to make sure you survive this attack, have
Kumatora use Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) or [beta] (9 PP) whenever someone's HP
falls to 120 or below. This should give you enough time to recover if you
get hit. If you are not good at combos, have Lucas recover instead while
Kumatora uses PK Thunder[beta]. Have Duster or Boney use food items if
multiple party members get heavily injured. Only use Healing to cure a
status effect if Lucas or Kumatora suffer from memory loss or get infested
by fleas.
When the battle is over Fassad will cackle his signature laugh, vow revenge,
and fly off. Examine the needle to pull it.
Lucas will learn PK Love[gamma] and the Magypsy Phrygia will approach.
"*Huff Puff*
I thought it would be pulled while I was asleep...
but I saw it, I saw you pull it.
There are only 3 needles left.
Unlike the other Magypsies, I am a very punctual Magypsy.
I'll tell you about the other needles before I disappear.
One needle is on Tanehineri Island south of Tatsumairi Village.
Mikusolidia is protecting it.
Another one is inside the Chupichupyoi Shrine way on top Orishimo
Mountain. Ionia should be protecting it.
Of course, I'm sure you know this by now, but it is said that the
Dragon of Darkness reflects the heart of the person who pulls the
needles...
The power within your power,
the darkness within your darkness,
and the light within your light,
is reflected in your soul.
Please, let me look into your eyes.
Thank you
Thank you...Lucas.
I have written down what I have just said inside my Secret Notes.
Take the notes with you."
[ "You got Phrygia's Notes!" ]
"And one more thing...
The needle that is said to be struck in the Dragon of Darkness's head
has not been found.
Neither has the Magypsy Locklear who is supposed to protect it...
Even a serious person like myself does not know.
It's a bit unfortunate I disappear without knowing.
Please...don't forget me.
This is my memento.
My razor and lipstick...take care of it, OK."
[ "You got Phrygia's Memento!" ]
[ Phrygia disappears ]
"I'm going to start bothering you in your dreams.
Hee hee, good bye."
If your inventory was full and you couldn't get the Memento, you can find it
inside Phrygia's house. It will automatically revive its carrier if he or
she falls to 0 HP. Return to Saturn Valley.
d)Taking Flight
When you reach Saturn Valley, you will see a pig mask blow up the tunnel
into the village. Examine the entrance then go into the house in the
northeast.
Talk to the Mr. Saturn in the middle of the room.
Mr. Saturn:
"The pig person.
He broke the tunnel
and left."
Duster:
"I see.
Is there a way to leave this town without going through the tunnel?"
Mr. Saturn:
"Get birds, lots and lots.
The flying machine.
Not enough birds.
Need one more."
Duster:
"I guess he's telling us to take flight using birds..."
Go back to where the tunnel is and examine a bird to pick one up. Don't run
or walk up against a bird or they will fly away.
When you've got a bird, return to the same Mr. Saturn and talk to it. It
will take the bird and tell you to wait at the hot spring.
The Mr. Saturn in the hot spring will offer you coffee. Answer "yes."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nobody is strong from the day they are born.
People are faced with difficult circumstances,
and with their strength, while shivering and cowering,
gradually learn not to run away and get stronger
little by little.
Lucas has gotten stronger in the same way.
He was not getting stronger for himself.
If he is not strong, he will not be able to
help those who are in need...
That is why he has gotten stronger.
Lucas,
even now, within the smiling face you sometimes show,
your timid and weak younger self can be seen.
You've done well to come this far.
What will happen next is unknown,
but those who believe in you will surely
give you their strength.
You should trust those people.
Keep moving forward toward what little
light lays ahead.
Not toward the darkness,
but face toward the light and go.
Lucas,
and your companions.
You are pressing on.
The enemy is retreating.
There is nothing to fear.
Everyone believes in you and are watching over you.
Can you hear them saying "Thank you" in their hearts?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Mr. Saturn will approach Lucas and ask for the Badge of Courage. He
promises to polish it and make it shiny for you. The Mr. Saturn will also
inform you that the birds are ready for flight.
Go back to town and examine the bird cage. Answer "yes" when prompted to
grab the rope and hitch a ride. Just before the party grabs on to the cage,
the Rope Snake comes out and tells the party to use him instead of the rope.
He asks you to trust him and promises he won't slip like last time. If you
answer "no," him will start imploring and begging until you finally agree.
The tunnel will be fixed the next time you come here, and you can reenter
Saturn Valley.

Recommended Level: 39 -> 41
Outline

Travel across the ocean bottom and
defeat the Master Eddy
ITEMS
a)Awesome Crown
������������ނ� "Suggoi Kanmuri"
(A red, sparkling crown)
Use: armor for Lucas; equip on "head;" Defense +20; max PP +30
Location: down the southwest ladder in the first area
To find the Awesome Crown, go to the second area of the ocean floor. Refill
your oxygen with the oxygen machine and return to the first area. Walk
directly west and go through the exit to the south. There is a ladder that
leads down at the end of this long path. Move as quickly as you can to
avoid running out of oxygen. The gift box holding this item is at the
bottom of the ladder, but you will have to fight the "Fish Roe Man" to earn
it.
Be near max HP/PP before engaging the Fish Roe Man. Use Kumatora's
Paralysis[alpha] (8 PP) to paralyze it and attack with combos. If you can't
combo, use Freeze[gamma] (18 PP) or Duster's Siren Beetle.
b)Trivia Card 3
�Ȃ��Ȃ��J�[�h�R "Nazo Nazo Kaado 3"
(A card with a question mark on it)
Use: use on Pigmasks and their variants in battle
Location: in the fourth area, down one of the ladders
Use the Trivia Card against a Pigmask enemy in battle to read them a trivia
question. What answer they give depends on what type of Pigmask you are
fighting. Some of them will answer correctly, and others will not. The
answer to this card is "male gorilla."
As far as I know, there is no use for the Trivia Card. It's just a weird
item in a weird game.

WALKTHROUGH
a)Ocean Floor
When you land, the Rope Snake tells you to consider him to be nothing more
than a "fat worm" and runs off. You can meet him again in a hole on the
southwest peninsula, but he will no longer come with you.
NOTE: If you go to the underground hangar north of the train tracks, you
will find a Pork Bean that looks like a Mr. Saturn. The letter in the
moving bottle next to it says:
"It is 'The Ride.'
We made the pig people's better.
Use for free.
Bathroom"
This vehicle is just for fun, and I don't think you get anything
special for it.
Talk to Bronson sun bathing on the chair to rest and recover HP/PP.
Examine the arrow pointing to the ground. A crab will emerge and tell you
the only way to get to Tanehineri Island is to approach the ocean and dive
underwater. Go ahead and do so.
Once underwater, you will see a couple Pigmasks kissing what looks like a
merman.
Pigmask 1:
"There,
oxygen supply filled!
Now heading towards Tanehineri Island!"
Pigmask 2:
"Whew...
I know we need this thing for oxygen,
but I just can't get used to it.
It makes me uncomfortable."
Pigmask 1:
"...really?
I kinda like it."
The meter at the bottom of the screen indicates your oxygen supply. If it
empties, the party will be sent back to the shore of Tatsumairi. To refill
your oxygen, examine the merman machine. You can find a number of them
ahead.
When you reach the first oxygen machine, examine it and answer "yes" to fill
up your oxygen meter.
There is a gift box that contains a Virgo Bracelet (Defense +26; max PP +10)
down the ladder to the southwest. If you go for it, you will have to hurry
back to the oxygen machine for a refill.
A little bit south of the first oxygen machine, you will come across a small
junction. Turn east and you can find a gift box that contains a map of the
underwater area. There are some Navy SQUEALs lurking the area, but you
should be able to defeat them in one or two rounds.
There are two exits to the south. The one to the southeast leads forward.
The one to the southwest leads to an Awesome Crown (Defense +30; max PP
+30). To reach the crown before running out of oxygen, go through the
southeast exit into the second area. Refill your oxygen with the oxygen
machine here, head back, and go through the southwest exit. Move quickly
because you have just barely enough oxygen to get to the end of this long
passage (the fishes here are not enemies, and you can talk to them if you
want). If you manage to climb down the ladder, there is an oxygen machine at
the bottom you can use for some air. Up ahead is a gift box guarded by a
Fish Roe Man, a powerful enemy that has 1856 HP. Use Paralysis[alpha] (8 PP)
and attack with combos or Freeze[gamma] (18 PP); Duster's Siren Beetle
sometimes works as well. Open the gift box to obtain the crown.
In the second area, refill with the oxygen machine and head south. When you
reach a junction, go to the right to find a Magic Tart (recovers 30 PP) and
a Double Jerky (recovers 160 HP). The path to the left leads to a Hermit
Crab without a shell. Remember him for later. Keep going south.
In the third area, you will find a oxygen machine that is broken. You will
find another split in the path near the next oxygen machine. The path to the
right leads to Cup of Lifenoodles (recovers all status effects and
completely revives a party member).
There are some lobster enemies down south. These guys have pretty high
Offense and Defense, so use Lifeup to keep your HP above 80 or so. They
sometimes drop a Giant Abalone Steak (recovers 180 HP) when defeated.
In the fourth area, you will find a bunch of ladders. The ladders are
roughly laid out like this:
1
2 3 4
5
Ladder 1: There is a Hermit Crab Shell lying on the ground. Take it back to
the Hermit Crab in the second area for money.
Ladder 2: Oxygen machine and a Magic Tart (recovers 30 PP).
Ladder 3: A Bomb (inflicts 100~400 HP to all enemies).
Ladder 4: A Magic Pudding (recovers 40 PP) and the Trivia Card 3.
Ladder 5: Leads to the same place as ladder 4.
In the next area, there is another gift box that contains Magic Pudding.
There is a save frog further south. A boss is waiting at the end of this
area, so be sure to save. If you go east, you can find a gift box with a
Magic Tart (recovers 30 PP).
b)Master Eddy
When you are ready, approach the blue creature waiting for you. It will suck
the party towards it, and the battle will begin.
If you're good at combos, then this battle should end quickly. Use Lucas's
Shield[omega] (18 PP) in the first round and use Offense Up[omega] (18 PP)
after that. Have Kumatora use Lifeup[beta] (9 PP) if someone's HP falls to
90~100 or below and use Defense Down[alpha] (7 PP) whenever she can.
If you're not good at combos, then have Lucas focus on recovery instead
while Kumatora uses PK Thunder[beta] (15 PP). Have Duster or Boney use a
food item if you need it. When this boss's HP reaches 0, it will use a final
whirlpool attack that inflicts 650~700 HP of damage to the entire party, and
the battle will end.

Strategy
Before the battle starts, give your best food items to Duster and Boney,
and use them when multiple party members get heavily injured.
Use Lucas's Psycho-Shield[omega] (20 PP) in the first turn and when
someone's shield is about to disappear (each shield can withstand three
hits). Use Offense Up[omega] (18 PP) one or two times and start using
standard attacks. Have Boney use the Shield Snatcher (looks like a wiggly
hand) in the first round if he has it.
Kumatora should focus on recovery and support. Use her Defense Down
[alpha] (7 PP) to lower the Trio's Defense and to encourage them to use
Defense Up instead of attacking. Use Duster's Tickle Feather in the first
one or two rounds to help. Use her Lifeup[beta] (9 PP) to keep everyone
above 120 or 140 HP.
The rhythm of the battle music is a little difficult, but you should be
able to get 2 or 3 hits pretty consistently. Follow the three heavy drum
beats in the first part of the song. The rhythm speeds up a little in a
strange way after that, and I can't really describe it. Listen carefully
to the drums and you may be able to get one or two extra hits.
Only use offensive PSI if you can read Japanese. Only one type of PSI
attack will be effective against the Trio when the assume their Barrier
pose, and you'll have to use Boney's "sniff" move to find out what they
are vulnerable to. The Trio will revert back to their defensive pose when
hit 3 times by an effective PSI attack and will be vulnerable to a
different PSI move when they pose again. If you can't read Japanese,
you'll have to test each of Kumatora's PSI attack every time the Trio
poses to figure out what works.
When the Barrier Trio suffers a certain amount of damage, it will revert
to its defensive stance and start using PK Starstorm in every other
round. Keep everyone's HP above 140 at the beginning of this phase and
attack with combos. If you can't combo, use Kumatora's strongest Freeze
or Thunder attack and items such as Super Bombs (a round white object
with a brown spot on top) and Pencil Rockets. If you are aggressive
enough in your attacks, the Trio should only be able to use Starstorm
once before being defeated.

unprotected
Offense Up[omega] (18 PP)

Lifeup[beta] (9 PP) or [gamma] (16 PP), as needed

WALKTHROUGH
a)Redgreenyellowyellow
The party will regain consciousness on the shore.
Kumatora:
"Where are we...?
Is this Tanehineri Island?"
Damn...
All our stuff's been washed away,
and we've got no strength left.
We gotta find something to eat."
Frog:
"H, heeeeeey!
It's a word of warning from a frog!
Can you hear meeeee!
It's a word of warning!
All of you
have no
health!
Your health is rock bottom!"
Check your HP/PP and you will find that everyone's HP is down to 1. All of
your goods, except for equipped and key items, are also missing.
Talk to the sleeping snake to the south to save.
Save Frog:
"Mghpf.
I'm inside the snake's stomach.
I'm the frog that gave you that word of warning.
There's a good reason why I'm in the snake.
Do you want to save?
>Yes >No
*Ribbit ribbit*
Will the snake's digestive fluids win.
Or will the frog's determination win.
It's a 1 on 1 fight.
It's not like I've been eaten."
Examine the pile of mushrooms to the right.
"You found some weird looking mushrooms.
Do you really want to eat it?
>Yes >No" (answer "yes")
Kumatora:
"These mushrooms...
have a gross color.
Are they edible?"
"Are you sure you want to eat it?
>Yes >No" (answer "yes")
[ The party eats the mushrooms ]
"It seems...
...okay..."
"...it's not!
You were overwhelmed with an unpleasant, hard to describe,
strange sensation...!"
Redgreenyellowyellow...is the name of this song. The mushrooms recover the
party but also make everything funky.
Talk to "Flint" to the right. Boney will start barking, as he seems to be
the only one unaffected.
"Oh, Lucas.
What're you doing here?
Are you lost?
>Yes >No" (it does not matter what you say)
The "Disturbing Smile" you fight is actually a Zombieshroom. It is
vulnerable to Fire, so use Kumatora's PK Fire[beta] (12 PP) or [gamma] (20
PP) and standard attacks to defeat it. This mini-boss has a substantial
amount of HP, but it should be an easy fight. Use healing to cure any
poisoned party members after the battle is over and recover by eating the
mushrooms again.
You will see Duster's father Wes up ahead.
"Duster...
That limp in your leg is my fault.
I'm sorry...
Don't go anywhere, anymore.
Come home with me.
>Yes >No"
Choose an answer and Wes will disappear. A little further ahead, you will
find a trash can among the trees. Examine it and answer "yes" when prompted
to obtain a Cup of Lifenoodles...maybe.
You will see some mail boxes scattered throughout the jungle. Examine them
to see some bizarre things inside.
"The lid of the mail box is open...
Do you want to look inside?
>Yes >No
There were many postcards in the mail box.
Will you read them?
>Yes >No
A boy named Lucas is crying at a grave.
A boy named Lucas is wandering around in the forest with a dog.
A boy named Lucas is causing trouble in the mountains.
A boy named Lucas is stealing Nuts from our yard.
A boy named Lucas is harassing living things.
A boy named Lucas is learning bad magic.
A boy named Lucas is
......
A boy named Lucas is
......
A boy named Lucas is
......
A boy named Lucas is
......
The mail box emitted a very loud scream."
The mail boxes in this area say different things, but they are all as
strange as the one above. They are actually just plants.
Whenever you see a familiar character, they are nothing more than enemies in
disguise. The next character you should see is Claus. If you talk to him,
he will ask to come with you. If you answer "yes" he will attack you from
behind. The disguised enemy is an "Monkalrus," an Orangutan-Walrus hybrid.
It has pretty high Offense and can inflict about 120 HP of damage with its
tackle attack, but you should be able to defeat it in two rounds.
NOTE: The Monkalrus sometimes drops the Mystical Gloves (weapon for
Kumatora). This weapon will increase max HP and PP by 10, Offense by
55, IQ by 7, and Speed by 5.
There are Dragon Flies and Titanians in the jungle as well. Both are
vulnerable to Freeze, so use PK Freeze[beta] (10 PP) to defeat them in one
or two rounds.
You should see another trash can to the southwest. Open it to obtain a
Magic Pudding (recovers 40 PP). There is another trash can to the south that
contains an Alligator Hat. I recommend you equip it on Boney.
There is one last trash can that contains a Fairy Ribbon (protects against
sleep). Equip it on Kumatora.
When you reach the second area, you will see a hot spring sign pointing to
the left. If you enter the hot spring, you can recover the party, but Boney
will not go in. There is also a trash can near the hot spring sign that
contains an Bug Spray (inflicts about 300 HP to Bug type enemies).
There is a cliff you can climb up to the east. At the top of the cliff, you
will find the next Magypsy's house.
Talk to the beautiful woman inside and she will restore the party.
b)The Hilltop
When everything is back to normal the Magypsy, Mikusolidia, will explain
that the next needle is on top of the hill. His companion, "Hachi" the
octopus, has recovered the party's lost inventory; talk to him to retrieve
your items. If you don't have enough space in your inventory, Hachi will
hold on to whatever you can't carry.
Talk to the mole cricket outside the house and buy some weapons and armor.
If Lucas is equipped with the Good Kid's Shirt (Defense +17; IQ +10), you
may not want to buy him the Feather Charm (Defense +18). Likewise, if
Kumatora is equipped with the Virgo Bracelet (Defense +26; max PP +10), you
may not want to buy her the Libra Bracelet (Defense +30). If you can't
afford to buy everything, don't buy Lucas the Spiky Weapon; he can get a
slightly better weapon soon.
If Lucas has not learned Psycho-Shield[omega] (20 PP) yet, spend some time
leveling up. The boss that guards the next needle is a heavy PSI user, and
the Psycho-Shield will help a lot against that boss. Lucas should learn the
move by level 45. If you don't have the Mystical Gloves, fight the Monkalrus
in the jungle instead of the enemies on the hilltop. If you're lucky, you
just might get the Mystical Gloves.
When you are ready, enter the cave east of the Magypsy's house. There are
some mushrooms and Titanians in the cave, but you shouldn't have too much
trouble against them.
Once outside, you will start encountering some Unwelcome Guests. They can
cause tornados that inflict about 40 HP of damage to three party members.
Attack with good combos, and they should be defeated within one round.
The first gift box you come across contains a mambo beat. It's just there
for fun.
When you come across the first junction, go west to find a gift box that
contains a Vigor Stick (resembles a mace). Equip it on Lucas. Go north
across the bridge and turn east to find a gift box that contains a Swallow
Bandana (a yellow bandana). Equip that on Duster.
c)Barrier Trio
When you reach the save frog, make sure the party is near max HP/PP and put
your best food items into Duster and Boney's inventory. If you have the
Shield Snatcher (looks like a wiggly hand), give it to Boney.
Move north and you will find the needle surrounded by three statues. The
"Barrier Trio" will come to life and attack.
The Barrier Trio is a PSI user that assumes two poses: a defensive pose, and
an offensive pose. The Trio will become susceptible to a new type of PSI
attack every time it strikes its offensive pose, and you'll have to use
Boney's "sniff" move to find out their weakness. Hence, you should only use
PSI attacks if you can read Japanese, or else you'll have to use trial and
error.
Instead of using offensive PSI, rely on standard attacks instead. Keep
everyone protected with Lucas's Psycho-Shield[omega] (20 PP) during the
fight (each shield can withstand 3 hits) and use Offense Up[omega] (18 PP)
to buff your standard attacks. Use the Shield Snatcher in the first round to
remove the Trio's shield and try to combo thereafter. The music is difficult
to combo with, but try to follow the heavy drum beats to get at least 2 or 3
hits.
Kumatora should focus on recovery and support. Use Defense Down[alpha] (7
PP) to lower the Trio's Defense and to encourage them to use Defense Up
instead of attacking. Use Duster's Tickle Feather in the first one or two
rounds to help. Keep everyone's HP above 120 to 140 with Lifeup[beta]
(9 PP).
When the Barrier Trio suffers a certain amount of damage, it will revert to
its defensive stance and start using PK Starstorm in every other round. Keep
everyone's HP above 140 at the beginning of this phase and attack with
combos. If you can't combo, use Kumatora's strongest Freeze or Thunder
attack and items such as Super Bombs (a round white object with a brown spot
on top) and Pencil Rockets. If you are aggressive enough in your attacks,
the Trio should only be able to use Starstorm once before being defeated.
The Barrier Trio will assume one final pose before it falls:
"It was beautiful."
d)The Fifth Needle
Watch the scene when the battle is over.
Mikusolidia will then appear. Since Lucas was not able to pull the needle,
the Masked Man's heart was reflected into the Dragon of Darkness instead.
Mikusolidia, however, cannot feel the presence of the boy's heart from the
earth and wonders why. He tells you to ride on Hachi across the ocean back
to town and gives you his memento (automatically revives a party member). If
your inventory is full, you can find the memento inside Mikusolidia's house.
Before he disappears, Mikusolidia also hands you a jar of Tasty Pickles. He
says it is a gift for Ionia, and asks that you give it to him. Return all
the way back to the beach.
You will find Hachi waiting for the party in the water. Approach him, and
answer "yes" when prompted to instantly go back to town.

enemy in about three rounds. Use Duster's Hypnotic Pendulum or Kumatora's
Hypnosis[alpha] (6 PP) to practice executing combos with this battle
music. You will be fighting to a song similar to this enemy's theme in
the next boss battle, and the rhythm of this battle music is hard to get
used to.
-Lucas: standard attack
-Kumatora: standard attack
PK Freeze[beta] (10 PP) or [gamma] (18 PP), if unshielded
-Duster: standard attack
-Boney: standard attack
h)Negative Man
�l�K�e�B�u�}�� "Negatibu Man"
Type: Mysterious Creature
Vulnerable: Crying
HP: 2238
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 1 HP
-"It's always like this..."
Effect: none
-"I'm worthless anyway..."
Effect: none
-"Life is just, lalalala..."
Effect: none
-"Hurry up and beat me..."
Effect: none
-"There's no way I can win..."
Effect: none
-"A, a, a, a..."
Effect: none
Strategy
Other than his self-confidence and emotional issues, there doesn't seem
to be anything special about the Negative Man. He only rewards 3 exp.
points, and there doesn't seem to be a way to cheer it up or change its
mood. I've tried making it stronger with an Enemy Bufferizer, and I've
even tried losing to it. He's just an unusual enemy in an unusual game.
This enemy sometimes drops a Baked Yam (recovers 40 HP).
i)Pigmask Colonel
�u�^�}�X�N������ "Butamasuku Taisa"
(A Pigmask wearing a cape)
Type: Human
Vulnerable: Freeze
HP: 895
Attacks
-Fire a beam
Damage: 60~70 HP
-Tackle attack
Damage: 90~125 HP
-Super Bazooka
Damage: 100~120 HP to three party members
-Use a Psycho-Shield system
Effect: reduces damage from PSI attacks by 50% for all enemies
-Defense Spray
Effect: increase Defense by about 20%
Strategy
This enemy is protected by a shield from the beginning of the battle, so
have someone use the Shield Snatcher (looks like a wiggly hand) if you
have it. Otherwise, you'll have to hit him three times to eliminate the
shield. If the Pigmask puts up a Psycho-Shield, it will replace his
initial physical shield.
If you attack with good combos, you should be able to defeat this enemy
in one round. Use Kumatora's PK Freeze[gamma] (18 PP) or PK Thunder to
inflict extra damage.
-Lucas: standard attack
-Kumatora: standard attacks
Freeze[gamma] (18 PP), if enemy is unprotected by Psycho-
Shield
-Duster: standard attack
-Boney: standard attack
j)Masked Man
���߂�̂��Ƃ� "Kamen no Otoko"
Recommended Level: 50
Attacks
-Swing his sword
Damage: 70~95 HP
-Fire a beam
Damage: 80~90 HP
-Lightning attack
Damage: 80~110 HP to three party members
Comments: If this attack hits Lucas, the Franklin Badge will reflect the
lightning back to the Masked Man.
-Shield Killer
Effect: removes any shields from the entire party
Comments: The Masked Man uses this attack just before he uses PK Love,
rendering Psycho-Shields mostly useless for protection.
-PK Love[alpha]
Damage: 70~90 HP to all
-PK Love[gamma]
Damage: 160~200 HP to all
Strategy
Level up Lucas to level 50 to learn Lifeup[omega] (28 PP) before starting
this fight. If you don't want to do that, give Duster and Boney your best
food items, and use them whenever multiple party members get heavily
injured.
If you have the Shield Snatcher (looks like a wiggly hand) have Boney use
it in the first round to eliminate the Masked Man's initial shield. Use
Lucas's Offense Up[omega] (18 PP) in the first round and Duster's Tickle
Feather until successful. Kumatora should attack with PK Thunder[gamma]
(21 PP) as much as possible.
Do not use a Psycho-Shield to defend against the Masked Man's PK Love. He
will likely use a Shield Killer to remove your shield before attacking
with PSI, rendering shields mostly useless. Instead, use Lucas's Lifeup
[omega] (28 PP) to recover the party after being hit. Keep each party
member's HP above 110 to 130 with Lifeup[beta] (9 PP) or food items to
make sure you can recover in time.
Comboing in this fight is almost exactly the same as comboing against the
Barrier Trio and the big headed creature found in the cave. Time your
first three button presses with the heavy drums and speed up your timing a
bit after that. The only tricky thing about this song is that the first
beat in the melody comes a little bit earlier than usual. This song is
difficult, but you should hopefully be able to get 10+ combos with some
practice. Fight the big headed creatures in the cave and put them to sleep
if you need help.
-Lucas: (first turn) Offense Up[omega] (18 PP)
standard attack
Lifeup[omega] (28 PP), after being hit by PK Love
Lifeup[beta] (9 PP) or [gamma] (16 PP), if HP falls to 120 or
below
-Kumatora: PK Thunder[gamma] (21 PP)
Lifeup[beta] (9 PP), as needed
-Duster: standard attack
Tickle Feather
food item, if multiple party members get injured
-Boney: standard attack
food item, if multiple party members get injured
WALKTHROUGH
a)To the North
Tatsumairi is now mostly deserted. The factory to the east has shut down,
and there's nobody on the Highway either. Almost everyone has moved to a
place called "New Pork City," and only a few remain for one reason or
another.
Go west to find Alec. He'll tell you that Ionia's house is close to where
his former mountain home was. Talk to Mapson further up the road and he'll
circle the location on your map.
(7C7)
Enter the forest and head north. You will find some red lizards along the
way that will point you in the right direction if you talk to them. If you
didn't open the gift boxes in the forest before, you can find a Beef Jerky
(recovers 60 HP), a Baked Yam (recovers 40 HP), a Sprinting Bomb (inflicts
150 HP to all enemies), and a Bread Roll (recovers 60 HP).
When you cross the bridge to the mountain, Kumatora will stop you.
"Hey!
This place looks familiar.
Take the west road north to Ionia's house.
Let's go!"
b)Pickle Hunt
(7C8)
When you enter the next area, the party will trip and lose the jar of Tasty
Pickles Mikusolidia gave you. Those pickles were for Ionia, and the party
stops to search for it.
You will control Boney during this search. Examine each sparkle on the
ground and take it to Lucas to identify what it is. The jar of pickles is
the northernmost sparkle, but you can get a Super Bomb, a King Burger
(recovers 280 HP), a Recollection Bell, and a Thud Charm (armor) if you
examine the other sparkles. You'll have to make room in Boney's inventory
if you want them all.
c)Mountain Cave
When you enter the next area, you will see a hot spring sign. Walk to the
west to find the hot spring and a mole cricket vendor. Buy as much armor and
weapons as you can afford. You will need about 9700 DP to buy what you need.
Head north up the mountain when you are ready. If you encounter any
attacking trees, be sure to defeat it last. It will burst into flames when
defeated and inflict about 300 HP of damage to three party members.
When you enter the cave, move north a little bit until you reach a ladder.
Before climbing up the ladder, look east to find a map of the cave.
There are some Mecha-Moles! lurking at the top of the ladder. They tend to
fight in groups and are vulnerable to Thunder, but you should be able to
defeat them in one or two rounds with just standard attacks.
To move forward, go to the right. If you go to the left, you can find gift
boxes that contain a Magic Pudding (recovers 40 PP) and a Goddess Bustier
(Defense and max PP +20; protects from Fire and Freeze). If you encounter
any Cuddle Bombs on the way, be sure to attack with good combos or use
Kumatora's PK Freeze[beta] (10 PP) or [gamma] (18 PP). This enemy can cling
to a party member and explode to inflict about 260 HP of damage, and you
won't receive any experience points if they destroy themselves.
In the westernmost room is an orange creature called "Negative Man." This
enemy can only inflict 1 HP of damage with his standard attack, and it will
waste most of his turns saying things like, "There's no way I can win," or,
"I'm worthless..." There doesn't seem to be a way to get anything special
from this enemy, and he only rewards 3 exp. points if you defeat him.
When you enter the east half of the cave, head towards the north. In the
northernmost room, you can find two gift boxes that contain a Striped Collar
(armor for Boney) and Cup of Lifenoodles (cures all status effects and
completely revives a party member with 0 HP).
Head towards the southeast to reach the exit. On the way, you will likely
encounter some "Heftyheads," a creature with a really big head. This enemy
has 1864 HP, and it will take about three rounds to defeat. This is a good
enemy to practice combos against because it's one of the few enemies with
this battle music that you can put to sleep. Try to get used to this song,
as you will be fighting to a similar song in an upcoming boss battle.
NOTE: The Heftyhead sometimes drops the Mystical Stick, a weapon for Lucas.
This weapon increases max HP and PP by 10, Offense by 90, IQ by 5, and
Speed by 5.
d)Ionia's House
When you reach the exit, walk east. A little bit to the south, you can find
a gift box that contains a Magic Tart (recovers 30 PP). Walk north from the
gift box and cross the bridge to reach Ionia's house. Talk to the mole
cricket vendor if you want to buy some food items or offensive items.
Enter the house and talk to Ionia:
"Long time no see!
You've finally arrived.
Lucas,
I used to think you were a little weak, but you've grown really
strong.
Boney,
you've done well to come all this way.
Shake, shake!
...I guess you don't know any tricks.
Um, this plain-looking and somewhat unattractive person,
...what was your name again?
Duster...yes.
I'm just teasing, I know your name!
A belated hello to you, Duster.
I'm perfectly aware you are helping Lucas fulfill his destiny.
Kumatora.
I've known you since you were little but you are more beautiful than
ever.
You are wonderful.
You'll probably say 'oh, shut up!' but it's true.
Ho ho.
By the way, what is that?
That easily droppable and losable looking jar."
[ "You gave away the Tasty Pickles!" ]
"Wonderful.
It's my favorite tasty pickles!
You brought it all the way here?
Thank you!
My final pickles before I disappear...
I'll be sure to savor it.
You don't need to tell me.
5 needles have already been pulled.
Aeolia
Doria
Lydia
Phrygia
Mikuso...
Hee hee, Mikusolidia.
All of them disappeared along with the coming of 'that time.'
Now it's my turn.
The remaining needles are the needle in Chupichupyoi Shrine that I
protect and the one missing needle...
Now, Lucas.
Go to Chupichupyoi Shrine.
The Shrine is probably overrun with vines frozen in time.
You can't enter the way it is now.
Sprinkle some of this 'Water of Time' on the vines."
[ "You received the Water of Time!" ]
When you leave the house, you will find a traveling Mr. Saturn waiting for
you outside.
"The thing that sparkles when polished
is bright.
Relief.
I return."
[ "The Badge of Courage was in fact the Franklin Badge!
You received the Franklin Badge!" ]
For those who have not played Mother 1 or 2, the Franklin Badge is an item
that will reflect Thunder attacks off its wearer. This will make Lucas
immune to PK Thunder and equivalent attacks.
e)Showdown
Before going to the temple, level Lucas up to level 50 to learn Lifeup
[omega] (28 PP). If you don't have the Mystical Stick, spend some time
fighting the Heftyheads (the big headed creature) and you may be able to
obtain it. If you need to recover, talk to Ionia and answer "yes" to rest.
Give your best food items to Duster and Boney. When you are ready, recover
and go north to the temple. Watch the scene.
If you can attack with relatively good combos, you should be able to defeat
each Pigmask in one round. Use Kumatora's PK Freeze[gamma] (18 PP) if you
need help in inflicting high damage; just make sure the Pigmasks don't put
up a Psycho-Shield. If you have the Shield Snatcher (looks like a wiggly
hand) use it on the caped Pigmask before attacking him, since he is
protected by a shield from the beginning of the battle.
When the battle is over, the Masked Man will attempt to strike the party
with a bolt of lightning like he did before.
"Lucas's Franklin Badge
reflected the Masked Man's lightning!"
When the lightning fails to work, the battle will begin.
If you have the Shield Snatcher, have Boney or somebody else use it in the
first round to remove the Masked Man's initial shield. Use Lucas's Offense
Up[omega] (18 PP) while Kumatora uses PK Thunder[gamma] (21 PP) as much as
possible. Duster should use his standard attack.
Try to combo as best as you can in this fight. If you know how to combo
against the Heftyhead and the Barrier Trio, you should be able to combo in
this fight as well. If you have trouble, try to time your button presses
with the three heavy drum beats.
The Masked Man can use PK Love[alpha] and [gamma] against you, but do not
use a Psycho-Shield to protect the party. The Masked Man will just use a
Shield Killer to remove the shield before attacking with his PSI, rendering
shields useless. Instead, have Lucas use Lifeup[omega] (28 PP) to recover
the party after being hit. Use Lifeup[beta] (9 PP) or [gamma] (16 PP) to
keep each party member's HP above about 120 to make sure you can recover in
time. Make liberal use of food items if you need them to keep your party's
HP up.
f)The Sixth Needle
WARNING: If you sprinkle the Water of Time on the vines, you will not be
able to return to Tatsumairi Village and the surrounding areas.
Before moving on, make sure there is nothing else you want to do.
When the battle is over, examine the vines blocking the entrance. Answer
"yes" when prompted and the party will sprinkle the Water of Time.
Enter the temple and examine the needle.
Ionia:
"The ones who sealed away the Dragon of Darkness
were our ancestors, the Magypsies.
Over the years, many generations of Magypsies have protected the 7
needles."
[ Ionia approaches ]
Ionia:
"But the needles will be pulled during 'that time.'
And 'that time' is now...
The heart of the one who pulls the needles will be reflected in the
Dragon of Darkness.
And then, something will happen...something that will
recreate the entire world.
Lucas,
I want you to be the one that awakens the Dragon of Darkness.
For that to happen, you can't lose no matter what...
Duster.
Boney.
Princess Kumatora.
Without the help of your companions, you will not be able to
accomplish this goal.
Princess Kumatora,
I never taught you this PSI because it was too dangerous, but I will
teach it to you now.
Remember this powerful PSI in order to help Lucas!
Are you ready?"
[ "Something awakened inside Kumatora!
Kumatora learned PK Starstorm!" ]
Examine the needle and answer "yes" when prompted. Lucas will pull the
needle and learn PK Love[omega].
Ionia:
"A strong realization was born in my disappearing heart.
The location of the seventh needle and the missing last Magypsy,
Locklear, is quickly emerging!
That's what I'm feeling.
The direction is that way...
A lively and dirty place...
I'll know for sure in a little while, ohh!
I'm sorry, I'm going to disappear soon.
This is the last thing I have to give you:
my razor and lipstick as a memento.
Please, think of me from time to time.
It's too bad I can't see this through to the end, but
Lucas
Boney
Duster
and Princess Kumatora
Witness what happens to this world with your own eyes."
[ Ionia disappears ]
"Too bad,
the seventh needle and Locklear are getting closer..."

Use: use on Pigmasks and their variants in battle

Use the Trivia Card against a Pigmask enemy in battle to read them a trivia
question. What answer they give depends on what type of Pigmask you are
fighting. Some of them will answer correctly, and others will not. The
answer to this card is "Onin War."
As far as I know, there is no use for the Trivia Card. It's just a weird

any, you can buy one from the Pigmask Arms Dealer just below the statue
for 3000 DP. The bomb will reduce the statue's absurdly high HP down to
1.
Use the New Year's Eve Bomb in the first round and use a standard attack
to defeat it. When the battle is over, talk to the man standing next to
the statue to receive the Trivia Card 4 (the correct answer is "Onin
War").
-Lucas: standard attack
-Kumatora: standard attack
-Duster: standard attack
-Boney: New Year's Eve Bomb
WALKTHROUGH
a)Limo Ride
When the chapter begins, you will see a very long limo stop in front of the
party.
Driver:
"You are Mr. Lucas, correct.
Our great leader King Pokey,
who rules the entire world,
wishes to invite you to the
last capital, New Pork City.
I will take you on this stretch limo
so please, go inside.
>Yes >No" (if you answer "no," he will ask you again)
[ The driver opens the door ]
"Why do they make me walk all the way around like this."
[ The party enters the limo, and the driver takes off ]
"How do you like it?
It's a lot bigger inside than it looks from outside, isn't it?
We'll arrive in New Pork City shortly.
In the meantime, please make yourself at home."
NOTE: In the Japanese text, "Pokey" is actually called "Porky." In the
English translation in EarthBound, however, his name is "Pokey." I
will be using the name Pokey in this guide. For those who have not
played EarthBound or Mother 2, Pokey was one of the main villains in
those games.
You will have to wait a few seconds before you can move on. While you're
waiting, you can wander around the limo and examine some of the objects or
talk to the driver:
Driver:
"Mr. Lucas.
This is your first time in New Pork City, yes?
It's a lot different from Tatsumairi, and
I think you'll be very surprised.
Hahaha."
Driver:
"Mr. Lucas,
are you an acquaintance of Mr. Pokey's?
This is the first time Mr. Pokey has invited anyone."
Driver:
"Oh, this picture.
They are my wife and daughter.
My wife has such a good sense of humor,
she is very popular in our neighborhood."
Driver:
"Hey! Doesn't that cloud to the east, up to the right, and below the
cloud that looks like a duck look like a scoop of ice cream?
No, not there!
Near the ridge on the mountain that looks like a mouse nibbling a
sunflower seed.
No! Over there...
Ah, ah, awwww
We passed it."
Driver:
"This is hard for me to say,
but I must concentrate and I ask that you please do not talk to me."
You can also examine a few of the things in this room.
The stage:
"It's a stage.
It looks like you can sing,
but you can't climb on."
The drinks:
"Some drinks for adults are lined up.
It's too hot, bitter, and nasty for kids. Plus it's poison, so you
can't drink it.
Oh, adults can't drink it either."
The table monitor:
"It's an arcade table game.
It looks like you can play, but you can't play."
The pool table:
"It's a 9-foot table.
The pockets are set pretty wide.
It looks like you can play, but you can't play."
The Blackjack table:
"It's a Blackjack table.
Despite saying, 'It's a Blackjack table,'
you can't play."
The stack of champagne glasses:
"It's the famous champagne tower.
It was actually just a picture."
When a few seconds have passed, talk to the driver:
"Alright!
The city has come into view.
That is New Pork City."
Watch the scene and the limo will come to a stop. The driver will open the
door and let the party out.
"Thank you for your patience.
Please watch your step as you step out of the limo.
Are you sure you have all your belongings with you?
To make sure you don't get lost in this new place,
I'll give you a map of the city."
[ "You received the city map!" ]
The driver will thank you and leave.
b)The Cardboard City
Inside the "city," you'll find most of Tatsumairi's former residents. One of
them (Isaac) has even joined the Pig Army.
Go up the escalator to the northern part of town. Examine the vending
machine there to buy some weapons and armor. You will need about 13,800 DP
to buy the optimal equipment.
Next, go to the movie theater in the southeast part of town. Inside, talk to
the lady on the counter and buy a Red Hat (Defense +30) for Lucas and Boney
and an Angel Ribbon (Defense +27) for Kumatora. You'll need about 2100 DP to
buy the stuff here.
(8C1)
Go further into the theater. Inside, you will see scenes from Mother 2 being
displayed on the screen. Despite the conflict between Ness, the main
character of Mother 2, and Pokey in the previous game, Pokey personally
chose this movie to be played in the theater. Talk to the man in the
northeast corner of the room:
"Your leader is being held captive in the abandoned apartment.
What? You don't know of any leader?
But he wants to meet you guys.
I took a chance and told you about him but you really don't know?
>Yes >No (it does not matter what you say)
I see, I guess you really don't know.
You should probably still meet him, though.
It's pretty clear he wants to see you guys."
If you talk to the other patrons inside, they will complain about a
"Hekokimushi," or Stink Bug, that's making the theater smelly. Examine the
chair in the top left corner of the middle group of chairs. The Stink Bug
will come out and run away through the hole in the speaker with Boney
chasing after it. The hole in the speaker is connected to the sewers, but
it's too small for a person to crawl through.
Exit the theater and go to the Arcade to the west. Inside you will find
Thomas and another man. If you dash into Thomas, you can mess him up and get
him mad. Talk to the man and he will open the entrance to the sewers for
you:
"I can hear something barking underground.
I think it's right below us.
But I can't go and check.
I'm not very good with dogs.
Their noses are all wet, and they wag their tails, and they lick
people's faces.
I don't like 'em at all.
Can you look for the dog instead?
>Yes >No (answer "yes")
Really!
Do you like dogs.
You'll go look for me.
I'll open the manhole.
Even if I am risking myself, at worst.
Oh, kay!
Then I'll open the way to the sewers.
Here we go."
Climb down the ladder to enter the sewers. There are some Metal Attack
Roaches and Putrid Moldymen down here, but you should be able to defeat
them in one or two rounds. If you get poisoned or feel nauseous, use Healing
after a battle is over.
When you reach the second area of the sewers, you will find two doors along
the north wall above. Enter the door on the right and examine the middle and
left trash cans to find a Saltwater Gun (inflicts 150~250 HP to metallic
enemies) and a Magic Pudding (recovers 40 PP). The trash can on the right is
a Putrid Moldyman.
Near the exit from the sewers, you will find a mole cricket vendor. You can
buy some food items or medicine from it if you want.
The next area is an old abandoned apartment. Go west from the entrance to
find a save frog. Climb the stairs to the second floor.
Talk to Boney at the end of the hallway:
"*Woof woof*
(I was chasing that strange smelling bug and ended up here.)"
[ "Boney joins you!" ]
"*Woof*
(A, anyway, you have to check out the next room...!)"
c)Exposition
(8C2)
In the next room, you will find Leder, the bell tower ringer from Tatsumairi
Village. He never said a word before, but now he'll give you the longest
speech in the game. He'll provide the entire background to Mother 3 and
answer some questions you might have about the game's storyline. I provide a
summary of what he says after the translation:
"That's right.
It's me, Leder, the bell tower ringer.
You're probably surprised.
You're probably surprised from just hearing me talk.
I never said anything for a long, long time because I didn't want
to speak, not because I couldn't.
I've been ringing the bell in the Crossroad,
all this time
not telling anyone
this secret in my heart.
But, the secret I've been protecting is starting to leak out.
Lucas, the time for me to tell you everything has come.
What I am about to tell you is probably something you don't want to hear.
Despite that, I need you to listen to what I have to say.
It's going to be a long story, but please listen to it all.
>Yes >No (if you answer "no," Leder will say a few extra things)
| I see...
| Even if you refuse to listen, I still have to say this.
| You don't have to listen to me, but please stay here.
| Even if I talk to myself, this is still something I have to say.
This story will break your hearts,
and I have too much to tell you.
That's why I'm going to ask the stink bug quivering behind me
to record my story.
Is that fine? Mr. Stink Bug."
[ The stink bug jumps and walks forward ]
"At one time, there was something called a 'world.'
It is different from the 'world' the inhabitants of this island think of.
This 'world' was incredibly big.
There lived more people in this 'world' than all the grains of sand on
our 'Nowhere Islands.'
It may be hard for you to imagine, but this 'world' did actually exist.
Do you understand?
>Yes >No (if you answer "no," Leder will repeat himself)
This 'world' was eventually destroyed.
Of course, that destruction was caused by humans.
Everyone had imagined the coming of that time in the back of their minds.
That time did in fact arrive.
...that is why the 'world' no longer exists.
That is the story of the 'end of the world.'
Do you understand?
>Yes >No
Just before the 'end of the world'
A 'white boat' came to this island.
All of Tatsumairi's inhabitants were on that boat.
That's right.
The people on that 'white boat' who escaped from the 'world' were just a
small group of humans.
Those on the boat retained the names they had from the previous
'world...'
The plans for the 'white boat' were made before the 'world' was
destroyed.
Although 'Nowhere Islands' is a part of the 'world,' it is a very
special place.
It was the only place that would remain after the 'world' was lost.
It was the only place where people could survive.
The 'white boat' arrived on this island.
This is the story of the 'white boat.'
Do you understand?
>Yes >No
Have you been able to record my story so far? Mr. Stink Bug?"
[ The stink bug jumps twice ]
"This place is special because of a large dragon that is about the same
size as the island.
A long time ago, humans and the dragon coexisted.
But all of a sudden, humans were no longer able to live together with the
dragon.
The ancestors of the people called the Magypsies that had lived on this
island from long ago struck 7 needles into the ground, and the dragon
fell into a long, deep sleep.
The Magypsies protected the needles, making sure the dragon was not
awakened until the time its power became needed.
Until it awakens, the dragon remains a part of the earth's power, and it
continues to sleep.
And, thanks to the dragon's great energy hidden underground, this island
was protected from the end of the 'world.'
This is the story of "The Dragon and the Magypsies."
Do you understand?
>Yes >No
The people who came to this island on the 'white boat' were more than
anything afraid of the 'world' ending again.
They believed the cause of the end of the 'world' had something to do
with the way they had lived.
The people on the 'white boat' talked it over.
They put their heads together and had an earnest discussion.
And then, they reached this conclusion.
Everyone would erase any memory of the previous 'world,' and they would
create new rules with each person playing their own roles.
That's right.
In other words, they all came up with an ideal 'fairy tale,' and they
would all play their parts and live by it.
That's what was decided.
Using the simple and peaceful idyllic childhood town as a stage, they
would restart their lives.
The memories of the 'world'...
The memories of their belongings and the rules surrounding them were all
erased, and they started their lives anew.
They reset their old memories and replaced it with the new 'fairy tale.'
That is how the village Tatsumairi was made.
But, it was necessary to record the fact that this memory replacement
took place.
Everything about the previous 'world' and the people on the 'white boat'
was recorded in that "Hummingbird's Egg."
In case of a major crisis, the 'thief' Wes and his son Duster were to be
the first to take action.
Didn't those two go to Osohe Castle and retrieve the secret of the
'people on the white boat?'
And one more thing, about myself.
It was necessary for one person to have a kind of 'duty' of retaining all
the memories of the previous 'world.'
I was the only one in this new place called Tatsumairi who did not play a
role in the new 'fairy tale.'
The sound of the bell I struck was a 'suggestion' to everyone not to lose
their constructed memories.
My name 'Leder' means leader.
No, no, being the leader isn't a big deal.
It's just that, unlike other people I'm very tall.
That's why we thought I would make a good landmark of some kind.
We decided on that together.
Since I'm so tall, people want to start talking to me, right?
When a very important time arrives, we decided I was to reveal this
'secret.'
This is the story of 'the people who forgot everything.'
This placed called 'Tatsumairi Village,' while real, is a village that
was initially made to be a 'fairy tale.'
It may be hard to believe, but do you understand?
>Yes >No
Let me tell you about Osohe Castle.
Apparently, at one time, there was a kingdom on this island ruled by the
king of Osohe.
But by the time we arrived on the 'white boat,' those people had
disappeared.
They were afraid of the dragon's eventual awakening and left the island.
Princess Kumatora was a baby who lost her mother and father before
arriving on the 'white boat.'
After arriving on the island, the Magypsies agreed to take care of her,
and we decided to make her the princess of Osohe Castle.
The role of Wes and Duster as the princess's retainers was a 'fairy tale'
we all made up.
That Osohe Castle is a part of this island's important but meager
'history.'
The characters in the hastily made 'fairy tale' have an extremely scant
'history' and 'past.'
There is probably no one in Tatsumairi Village who knows anything about
what happened 100 or 1000 years ago.
We actually wanted to come up with plenty of 'myths' and 'legends'...
but it's unfortunate we couldn't because we made our 'fairy tale' in a
hurry.
I have probably only said things you don't want to hear.
You may not want to believe it, but it is the truth.
Have you listened to my story so far?
>Yes >No
Have you been able to record my story so far? Mr. Stink Bug?"
[ The Stink Bug jumps twice ]
"What will happen to Tatsumairi Village in the future.
We weren't sure, but things were going well as they were.
Those who arrived on the 'white boat' had completely adjusted to their
new roles.
I thought we lived peacefully and amiably with each other.
Things started to go wrong when Pokey, traveling through time and space,
ended up here.
It seems he was somehow manipulating a machine called the Time Tunnel
which can freely control space and time.
But he was banished out of every time and every place until he stumbled
onto our island in our time.
Using the Time Tunnel to cause trouble, he started bringing in people
from different time periods.
The Pigmasks, as well as those in New Pork City, have all been brought
here and 'brainwashed' by Pokey.
This hoodlum Pokey apparently thinks this island is his own personal 'toy
box' where he can have whatever he wants.
The animals were combined and turned into deformed chimeras.
He made the Thunder Tower, organized his own army, and did whatever
he wanted like a childish dictator.
Pokey found out about the secret of the 'white boat' because of a traitor
among the Magypsies.
Do you understand about this trespasser Pokey?
>Yes >No
That one traitor among the Magypsies...
is Locklear, the seventh Magypsy you likely have not met yet.
Because Locklear joined with Pokey, the secret of 'those who came on the
white boat' and the secret about the 'sleeping dragon' became known to
Pokey.
Pokey began thinking about pulling the seven needles and awakening the
sleeping dragon so he can use its power for himself.
The dragon is a part of the earth's power.
It is said that the one who pulls the sealing 7 needles will be the
dragon's master.
But only a limited few can pull the needles of the dragon.
Neither the Magypsies, who have protected the needles, nor Pokey has that
power.
Despite that, the needles are being pulled.
That means there is somebody being manipulated by Pokey into pulling the
needles!
...we can no longer put up with Pokey's selfish trouble making.
The 'world' will be completely destroyed again...
and we will likely see the end of everything.
That may make Pokey feel good,
but it's something we can't allow.
It would be wrong for the last few remaining humans to allow such a
thing.
Lucas.
It looks like you are a person chosen to be able to pull the needles that
seal the dragon.
Pull the needle of the Dragon of Darkness with your hands and reflect
your heart into the dragon.
Think of this as my only command to you as your leader.
Do you understand about the 'dragon's awakening?'
>Yes >No
Six of the dragon's needles have been pulled, or so I've heard.
The dragon sleeping underground is probably starting to awake.
The final needle is apparently somewhere in New Pork City.
In preparation for the pulling of that final needle, Pokey is amassing
every living thing on this island into New Pork City, probably for the
production of his final malicious party.
But now is the time to turn this big pinch into a big chance.
It may be the time when everything ends, but it may also be the time when
a new and abundant something begins.
You want that...don't you.
Lucas,
now that I think about it, a once delicate child like you has been given
a preposterous task.
You listened to my difficult story,
and now the boy that knows everything will become the one that saves the
future of every living thing.
...
'God does not burden with too much weight.'
You've probably heard a saying like this.
It's not just you that has to fight.
Everyone will,
everyone
Everyone will help you.
My story was long, but this is all I have to say to you.
Do you understand?
>Yes >No
The location of the needles is part of the Magypsy's purview,
so I don't know much, but...
Based on Pokey's movements, it seems they are close to the seventh
needle.
Lucas,
I want you to pull that final needle without fail.
Pokey is on the 100th floor of the Empire Porky Building, giving out
orders.
You'll first have to charge up there.
Search for any clues after that.
It's been a long time since I've talked so much, and I'm getting tired.
The stink bug over there should remember my story.
If you forget anything, take the stink bug with you and ask it anytime.
You'll go with them, won't you?
Mr. Stink Bug."
Mother 3 takes place in a post-apocalyptic utopia constructed by the last
surviving humans in order to ensure that they do not destroy the world
again. Leder doesn't specify exactly how the world was destroyed, but it
probably has something to do with warfare or the environment. The last
surviving humans arrived on Nowhere Islands just before the end of the world
on a "white boat," erased their memories, and started over in Tatsumairi
Village. Only this island remained after the end of the world because it is
protected by the dragon's power underground. They hid the records of the old
world in the Hummingbird's Egg and did not erase Leder's memory just in case
of a crisis. Kumatora was a baby who lost her parents before arriving on the
white boat. The Magypsies agreed to raise her, and the people made her the
"princess" of Osohe Castle, a ruined vestige left over from the previous
inhabitants of the island. Everything seemed to be going well until Pokey,
using a machine that can control space and time, stumbled onto this island.
He started using the island as his own personal playground, brought in
people from other time periods to form his Pig Army, and started messing
things up. He found out about the 7 needles from the seventh Magypsy,
Locklear, and found a way to pull the needles so he could use the dragon's
power for himself.
Examine the Stink Bug to take it with you. They game will consider it to be
a key item and will not take up inventory space. Select it from your
inventory to hear Leder's story again.
d)Miracle Fassad
There is a boss battle coming up soon, so save with the save frog at Leder's
feet. Return to the entrance to the sewers.
Before you can reach the ladder up to town, Fassad will emerge from the
sewage. He taunts you again, saying how he has gotten stronger and will not
lose this time. He laughs, "Nuheheheheheheheh," like he always does and
attacks.
This fight should not be hard as the previous fight against Fassad. Use
Lucas's Shield[omega] (18 PP) in the first round and Offense Up[omega] (18
PP) in the next. Use the Shield Snatcher (looks like a wiggly hand) in the
first round as well to remove Fassad's initial shield, while using Duster's
Tickle Feather to reduce his Defense. Have Kumatora use her strongest PK
Thunder attack as much as possible. Heal if Lucas or Kumatora suffer from
memory loss or get infested by fleas.
Fassad will start using Starstorm and Thunder in the second part of the
battle. Use Lucas's Psycho-Shield[omega] (20 PP) to protect the party and
recover with Lifeup[omega] (28 PP). The other party members should attack as
much as possible. The second phase of the battle should only last about
three or four rounds.
When the battle is over, Fassad will be defeated once and for all.
Translator:
"'Ow, ow, ow ow ow' This...
This I cannot translate.
He is not saying anything but is just making noises.
'You people were able to defeat me.
No, it is not that you won, but you are very provoking.
I have had enough of this fighting.
I have really had enough.
This kind of thing is just a game.
Let us say it is Pokey's game.'
Fassad says,
'You people are still stuck in the maelstrom.
Perhaps I was forced out of that.
However, that is still not known.
Like a flickering flame, my life is in danger.
I will probably never meet you people again.
At least, not in battle.'
He adds, in a very small voice,
'Nuheheheh.'
Fassad will now crash."
With Fassad gone, the Translator no longer has any purpose and leaves. Exit
the sewer.
e)To the Empire Porky Building
There are now much more people in New Pork City. Most of them say strange
things like, "blah, blah," or "right, left." Some new Tatsumairi residents
have also arrived, but they have a bad feeling about the town and feel duped
into coming here.
If you go to the northwest corner of town, you will find a broken slot
machine and three men in panchos. They are the "Pancho Pincho Brothers and
Their Friend." Talk to the broken slot machine and give it 1 DP to make the
three men spin around. You will get a prize if the three men face the same
direction.
All facing forward: Magic Tart (recovers 30 PP)
All facing left: Big City Soda (recovers 20 HP)
All facing backwards: Chick (turns into Chicken, which can be sold for 200
DP)
I have never had the three men all face right, so I don't know what the
prize is (sorry).
If you want to get the fourth Trivia Card, buy one New Year's Eve Bomb from
the Pigmask arms dealer in the eastern part of town (it costs 3000 DP) and
give it to Boney. Examine the large statue of Pokey in the northeast corner
of town three times:
"Smart, brave, incredibly tough, and slightly chubby.
A statue of our great leader, Pokey.
It looks like the statue is glaring at you.
Will you return the statue's glare and glare back at it?
>Yes >No"
Answer "yes" to start the fight. This statue has 99,999,999 HP, and it can
defeat the entire party in one attack. Quickly use the bomb and attack with
a standard attack to win. Talk to the man standing near the statue after the
battle to receive the Trivia Card 4 (the correct answer is "Onin War").
Your next destination is the Empire Porky Building. If you need to recover,
there is a hot spring on the first floor to the right of the lobby. Enter
the elevator to the left to go up.

ENEMIES
a)Hippo Launcher
�J�o�����`���[ "Kaba Ranchaa"

Psycho-Shield, it will replace his initial physical shield.

Cyborg's Defense at least once with Duster's Tickle Feather or Kumatora's
Defense Down[alpha] (7 PP). You may also want to use Lucas's Offense Up
[omega] (18 PP) if you have trouble with combos.
Use Kumatora's strongest PK Thunder attack or PK Ground (if learned) as
much as possible while Duster and Boney use their standard attacks. Use
Lifeup[omega] (28 PP) when a party member reaches 100~120 HP or below and
use Healing to cure poison or paralysis. Have Boney use the Shield
Snatcher (looks like a wiggly hand) when the NK Cyborg uses a Counter

the beginning of its appearance, so limit your PSI attacks to PK Thunder.
Use Lifeup[omega] (28 PP) often to keep the party alive.

WALKTHROUGH
a)Duster's Comeback Performance
NOTE: You will not be able to return to the first floor of the Empire Porky
Building after a certain point in the game. Before moving on, make
sure there is nothing else you want to do in town.
Examine the elevator and an elevator technician will approach the party. He
tells you that the elevator is under repair, and it can only go up to the
theater on the 24th floor.
While in the elevator, the technician will scoot his way over to Duster.
"Huh?!
Aren't you...
Aren't you Tamekichi, the guy who played bass for DCMC?
Awesome!
Tamekichi is back!
That bassline is back!
Let's go, let's go!
Mr. Tamekichi!"
When you reach the 24th floor, attempt to walk into the next room. A man
will come out of the elevator and pull Lucas away for no apparent reason.
You can meet the Fierce Pork Trooper in the next room again, but he won't
attack you anymore. He's just here to enjoy DCMC's performance. Walk north
into the next room.
OJ, DCMC's bandleader, and the rest of the band members will greet the
party. After the short reunion, OJ will bring out Tamekichi's old wig and
ask Duster to play for old time's sake. Examine the wig and watch the
performance.
During the middle of the second song, the power will abruptly go out.
OJ:
"Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Looks like someone's cut our performance short."
[ *Ding dong ding dong* ]
Pokey:
"Everyone in the Empire Porky Building, may I have your attention please.
The end game has begun.
Use every ounce of your tiny brains and that pathetic thing called
courage to come to the 100th floor.
Unfortunately, I can't guarantee the elevator will cooperate.
Kyahahahaha.
I'll be waiting on the 100th floor."
b)Hippo Launcher Floor
Return to the elevator and examine it to go up.
There are a bunch of Hippo Launchers and scientists on the next floor. The
Hippos will not attack on its own, and you will have to press the A or L
button to engage it. They can inflict a large amount of damage to the entire
party, but they can be defeated in about two rounds with good combos. Use PK
Thunder or put it to sleep if you need to.
In the second area is a gift box containing a Super Bomb (inflicts about
200 to 500 HP to all enemies).
In the third area, a scientist will sic its Hippo Launcher on the party.
When the battle is over, the scientist will call you a dummy and run away.
Go to the south and open the gift box to find the Ultimate Shoes (weapon for
Duster).
There are two gift boxes in the final area that contain a Cup of Lifenoodles
(cures status effects and revives a party member) and a Grilled Chicken
(recovers 170 HP). Approach the elevator and Pokey will speak again:
"We interrupt our regularly scheduled program for a news update.
A group of idiots pretending to be water fleas have been spotted in
the middle of the pond.
Kyahahahahahaha!
I'm talking about you guys.
You're so stupid, fighting so hard while covered in mud.
Heh heh heh heh heh...
Now then,
ride the next elevator.
I think I'll keep watching your dumb behavior.
You're almost to the real 100th floor!
Ahahahahaha!"
The next floor is a "gathering room for Mr. Pokey's fans." There are various
gifts for Pokey as well as a number of female attendants. There is also an
oxygen machine here if you want to refill your oxygen. Head toward the next
elevator and Pokey will interrupt again, taunting Lucas and the party and
telling them to hurry to the real 100th floor.
c)Bathroom Floor
The next floor is a floor full of bathrooms. Unlike the other bathrooms in
this game, you can actually enter some of the stalls. Go into the next area.
The doors in this hallway lead to various things.
Door 1 (the rightmost door): "Occupiiied."
Door 2: A Pigmask Major
Door 3: gift box (Attack Attractor)
Door 4: "Sorry! I'm a little busy right now. Come back later."
Door 5: next hall
The next hallway has even more bathrooms. Note that the sign on the leftmost
door will come to life and attack if you approach it. Be near max HP before
fighting it in case the party gets hit by PK Starstorm. You should be able
to defeat this enemy in one round with good combos. Otherwise, use Lucas's
Psycho-Shield[omega] (20 PP) for protection.
Door 1: a Pigmask Major and a Metal Attack Roach
Door 2: nothing
Door 3: "Ahhh,
that was close."
Door 4: next hall
Door 5: gift box (Honey Shower)
Go to the next hallway.
Door 1: "Japanese style."
Door 2: "Duck type."
Door 3: "For big people."
Door 4: next hall
The doors in the next hallway are ordered from left to right. The bathroom
sign on the third door will attack if you approach it.
Door 1: "Welcome and thank you for coming!
Wait, what the heck am I saying!
This is a toilet!
Why did you come in here?
And as a group."
Door 2: a bunch of ghosts from Osohe Castle
Door 3: a Pigmask Major, two Metal Attack Roaches, and a gift box (Red
Collar)
Door 4: next hall
Door 5: "N, nothing's wrong.
Everything is fine. Please go away!"
When you enter the next hallway, three people will burst in and enter the
bathrooms.
Door 1: "Good thing I'm quick on my feet!
I made it!"
Door 2: "*Cough*
I'm in the middle of my reading."
Door 3: "Watch the wall
Watch the door
Was there anything else I had to do?"
Door 4: "Move, move, move, move!
I know the other bathrooms are public, but this one is private!
This bathroom ain't for you!"
Door 5: next hall
The big red chimera from the Chimera Lab is hiding in the rightmost door in
the next hallway. The chimera is guarding a gift box that contains an
Awesome Ring (Defense and max PP +30 for Lucas), but it's game over if you
touch the chimera. Examine the door three times and quickly exit into
another area. The chimera will burst out of the door and will be lurking in
the main hallway. Run around it and enter the bathroom to safely open the
gift box.
Door 1: "A clean bathroom reflects the heart.
Wipe it, brush it, and make it shine."
Door 2: nothing
Door 3: "I'm eating!"
Door 4: next hall
Door 5: the ultimate chimera and a gift box (Awesome Ring)
Go to the next area to find the elevator to the next floor. Pokey will again
interrupt and tell you this is not the real 100th floor.
d)Magypsy Floor
You will find the house of the seventh Magypsy, Locklear, on the next floor.
Inside the house, there are a bunch of banana peels scattered on the floor
and a trumpet on the table. Examine the Razor and Lipstick in front of the
table to pick up the memento (automatically revives its carrier). There are
five gift boxes that contain Luxury Bananas (recovers 120 HP) and one gift
box that contains an Ancient Banana (trips a single enemy to inflict 50 HP
of damage).
Walk towards the elevator and Pokey will again tell you to hurry to the real
100th floor. Talk to the mouse in front of the elevator:
"Squeak squeak.
(It looks like Mr. Locklear isn't coming home.
Me?
I'm a mouse Mr. Locklear took care of.
Most people probably thought he was a bad person because he had a
creepy laugh like, "Nuheheheheh," but he was really nice to me.
I wonder if he'll ever come home.
It's so lonely.)"
e)Construction Floor
If you need to recover, examine the Amazing Capsule to the left when you
exit the elevator. Head east.
There are some powerful mechanical enemies lurking on this floor. If you
can't combo, use PK Thunder[gamma] (21 PP) against the K9000 (the robot dog)
and Freeze against the Rhinocerocket. Be near max HP before engaging either
the Rhinocerocket or the Love Walker since they can both damage the entire
party.
There is nothing special in the first few rooms of this floor. Keep going
forward until you find a few construction workers. Dash into the worker
standing on the platform to knock him down and use him as a bridge. Enter
the north door to find a gift box containing a Pizza (recovers 250 HP) and
go east to move on.
Keep going forward until you come across another gap but no construction
worker. Head north and climb up the ladder. Examine the lever on the machine
and answer "yes."
Just before the next elevator, you can find a gift box containing Angel
Gloves (weapon for Kumatora).
When you reach the next elevator, Pokey will interrupt again and tell you to
hurry to the 100th floor. Enter the elevator.
f)Laboratory Floor
You can find more mechanical enemies lurking here as well as some Pigmask
Colonels. If you're having trouble, use Thunder against the mechanical
enemies and Freeze against the Colonels. Note that the Complete Robots (the
yellow bipedal robots) can instantly defeat a party member and should be
defeated first. Also, the Nuclear Reactor Robot (a round robot with a
nozzle) explodes when defeated and should always be defeated last.
Walk east into the next room. Near the middle of the room, you will come
across a split in the paths you can take. Go east through the door to find
gift boxes that contain a King Burger (recovers 280 HP), Magic Cake
(recovers 50 PP), and a Canine Weapon (weapon for Boney; Offense +15). The
path is a dead end, however, so you will have to go back if you go for the
gift boxes. Go north to move on.
There is a gift box that contains a Super Bomb (inflicts 200~500 HP to all
enemies) in the next room. You will also find another split in the path. Go
north to meet a scientist that explains to you what the green liquid in this
room is. The liquid is a "Good Person Bath" that turns anyone submerged in
it into submissive citizens that venerate Pokey. Head east to move on.
Head south when you enter the next room to find an Sagittarius Bracelet
(armor; Defense +45). Equip it on Kumatora, Lucas, or Duster. Head east and
enter the next room.
The people in the glass bubbles are all being brainwashed and will only
express praise for Pokey when you talk to them. There is even a save frog in
one of the containers. Before you reach the next floor, Pokey will taunt the
party again.
g)Mini-Games
(8C3)
Climb the stairs in the next area and enter the room at the top. The driver
of the limo will be waiting for you. Talk to him and follow him into the
next room. The limo driver (or the M.C.) will introduce you to a robotic
Pokey that will compete against Lucas in some mini-games.
The first game is Whack-a-Mole. A bunch of moles will appear out of the six
holes on the floor, and you must try to hit them with the A button. You will
get 1 point for each mole you hit but 0 points if you hit a construction
worker. The robot will play first and score 10 hits. When it's your turn,
get exactly 9 hits to move on. Otherwise, you'll have to play again.
The second game is a race between Lucas and the robot. Again, you'll have
to barely lose to the robot to move on. Step on the #2 tile when you're
ready and walk across the track. Stop in front of the final tile and wait
until the robot finishes before crossing the finish line.
The final game is a balloon pop race. Repeatedly press the A button to
inflate a balloon and pop your balloon first to win. The balloon will
increase in size four times before it pops. Inflate the balloon until it
reaches its maximum size and stop. When the robot pops its balloon, the game
will end and the party can move on.
h)NK Cyborg
There is a couch and a save frog on the stairs in the next area. Examine the
couch to rest to prepare for a boss battle. If you have the Shield Snatcher
(looks like a wiggly hand) give it to Boney.
You will find a large cyborg in the next room. Approach it and Pokey will
interrupt:
"Lucas.
Bienvenido a mi cuarto!
This is the real 100th floor you've been trying to get to!
Let me take this time to welcome you!
My beloved, meddling intruders.
I invited you here.
That's why you were allowed to come into my room.
It's just that, I've given a command...
To not allow anybody into my room.
You know, to that fighting toy in front of you.
Perhaps this is goodbye for my invited guests.
The switch has been set!
It's the Natural Killer Cyborg!"
Use Lucas's Shield[omega] (18 PP) in the first round, and reduce the NK
Cyborg's Defense at least once with Duster's Tickle Feather or Kumatora's
Defense Down[alpha] (7 PP). Use Lucas's Offense Up[omega] (18 PP) if you
can't combo.
Use Kumatora's strongest PK Thunder attack or PK Ground (if learned) as much
as possible while Duster and Boney use their standard attacks. Keep
everyone's HP above 100 to 120 with Lifeup[omega] (28 PP) and use Healing
to cure poison or paralysis. Have Boney use the Shield Snatcher if the NK
Cyborg puts up a shield.
i)Mother 1+2
Those who have played Mother 1 and 2 will get a dose of nostalgia in the
next few rooms. Run through the hallway and ride the ferry while listening
to some familiar music.
Disembark from the ferry and examine the Amazing Capsule in the next room to
recover for an upcoming mini-boss battle.
NOTE: Open the gift box in the room with the Capsule to find an Octopus
Eraser, a key item that will not take up inventory space. With this
item, you can examine the octopus statue and make it disappear. This
is a reference to Mother 2, in which octopus statues would impede the
player's progress in various parts of the game unless the Octopus
Eraser was used to remove the statues. In EarthBound, the octopus
statues were replaced with pencil statues, and the Octopus Eraser
became the Pencil Eraser.
j)Pokey 0X
Keep heading forward until you reach a large gray room. Pokey will speak to
you when you enter.
"The beginning of the end.
The end of everything.
Let's be friends.
I'm Pokey.
I'm actually just an innocent little kid.
Please spoil me more.
Please talk to me gently like the meek little kid I am.
>Yes >No" (It does not matter what you say)
You will have to defeat seven of these robots in order to win the battle.
They are not too powerful and can be pretty easily defeated, though you may
want to use Lucas's Offense Up[omega] (18 PP) at least once. Each robot is
protected by a Psycho-Counter from the beginning of the battle, so limit
your PSI attacks to just PK Thunder. Use Lucas's Lifeup[omega] (28 PP) to
keep the party's HP up.
When the seventh robot is defeated, the DCMC band members will rush into the
room and take care of the remaining robots.
"All of a sudden, a group of men burst into the room!
It was the DCMC band members!
Batchy jumped to the front!
-Tondagossa! (This is DCMC's catch phrase greeting)
-Bums like us always save the day at the climax of the story!
Batchy attacks!
Shimmy Zmith jumped to the front!
-Pokey was trying to use us to brainwash everyone but...
-Now we're going to mess up his demented plans!
Shimmy Zmith attacks!
Magic jumped to the front!
-Oh yeah!
-There's no way we're going to let Pokey succeed in his plans!
Magic attacks!
OJ jumped to the front!
-I'll make you pay for everything you've done!
OJ attacks!
YOU WIN!"
When the battle is over, a bunch of townsfolk from Tatsumairi Village will
enter the room.
Flint:
"Boney, come."
Lucas, finally
it's finally time..."
Wes:
"I'm not sure if we've caught up to the enemy or if we've been lured
here.
It doesn't matter either way.
Right, Duster?"
[ *Ding dong ding dong* ]
Pokey:
"*Cough cough cough*
Step forward a little so I can see your face better..."
[ Lucas turns around ]
Pokey:
"Ahh, so that's what you look like.
I was the one who called you here.
I am a traveler who can freely move through past and future.
More lovable
more charming
and more naughty than anyone else,
I am Mr. Pokey Minch.
Those posing as the last surviving humans of the Earth!
Welcome.
Spankety spankety!
Ahahahahahaha."
[ Pokey descends ]
Pokey:
"*Cough cough...wheeze wheeze*
To make sure you don't make the same mistakes people made in the
past, you erased your memories and tried to create a new world...
How stupid can you guys get?!
No matter how you change the rules,
no matter how hard you try,
people will always do the same evil and stupid things over and over
again and be at each other's throats.
And then...they fall.
If only you quietly went along with the plans of a great hero like
me, you could've been happy...
*Wheeze wheeze wheeze, pant pant*
Why do you keep trying to live and struggle with your tiny brains,
pathetic bodies, and weak hearts?
Oh well.
It's time to drop the curtain on your little monkey show.
It's time for me to obtain the power within the power.
Everything has gone according to my wishes, and in the end, the
ultimate power will fall into my hands.
Heh heh heh, heh heh heh.
Aha, ahahaha
ahahahahahahahaha.
*Cough cough cough, cough cough*
*Pant, pant, pant, pant*
Whew...
This has just been a game so far, and I went easy on you guys.
I've been so bored I wanted to have a little fun.
But, you still have no chance.
My slave...
My lifeless son will pull the final needle for me.
And then the dragon will awaken, and I will get everything I want.
You idiots will likely turn into dust or garbage and eventually fade
away.
Ahahaha.
It's too bad.
But without something like this, I feel like I'll be crushed by
boredom.
*Wheeze wheeze wheeze*
*Pant, pant, pant, pant*
You understand, don't you?
The tragedy of a godlike existence like mine.
Ahahhaha. Aha, ahahahaha.
*Cough cough cough cough cough*"
[ An alarm sounds ]
Pokey:
"Ah, what perfect timing for your little play.
The seventh needle has been found underneath my building."
Dr. Andonuts:
"I refuse to cooperate with you any more!"
Pokey:
"Waha
waha
wahahahahahaha.
I bet Lucas wants to pull it too.
Why don't you go there.
I try to play fair after all.
The game becomes more fun that way.
But, I think I'll take a shortcut and go ahead of you guys.
Ahahahaha, hahahaha.
*Cough cough cough*
*Wheeze wheeze*
*Pant pant*
Catch me if you can!
Use the elevator as much as you want.
Neener, neener!
*Pant, pant*"
When Pokey's speech is over, the party will descend a rapid elevator and
fall into the final area of the game.

c)Pokey
�|�[�L�[ "Pookii"
Recommended Level: 57
HP: ~6700
Attacks
-"Pokey...did what?!"
Damage: 80~110 HP to three party members
-"Pokey...what did he do?!"
Damage: 140~170 HP
-"Pokey...what did he do?!"
Damage: 140~170 HP to three party members
-"Pokey...what did he do?!"
Damage: 140~170 HP to the entire party
-Suck something in
Effect: drains 120~130 HP from a party member and adds it to his own
-"Pokey did something!"
Effect: may make the entire party start crying
-Spit out something
Effect: decrease Offense and Defense of the entire party by about 20%
-Jet out something
Effect: paralyze a single party member
-Use a Psycho-Counter system
Effect: reduces damage from PSI attacks by 50% and reflects inflicted
damage
Strategy
Have Lucas use Offense Up[omega] (18 PP) in the first round while Duster
uses his Tickle Feather to reduce Pokey's Defense at least once. If Pokey
reduces the party's Offense, it may be a good idea to use Lucas's Offense
Up[omega] again. Don't increase the party's Defense or use a Shield,
since you can reduce the damage inflicted by only one of Pokey's attacks.
Have Kumatora use PK Thunder[omega] (32 PP) or PK Ground (43 PP) as much
as possible; Pokey is protected by a Psycho-Counter from the beginning of
the battle, but neither PSI attack is affected by it. PK Ground can
inflict about 700 HP of damage with each use, but you'll have to level up
Kumatora to level 60 before she learns it.
Use Healing[omega] (30 PP) if multiple party members are debilitated by
status effects. If you need to recover HP, try to have Boney use a food
item instead of using Lifeup. Lucas can inflict over 500 HP of damage
with a 16 hit combo, so it's probably more efficient to have him focus on
attacking.
Pokey will make a few speeches as you inflict more and more damage. In
them, he explains how he cannot die no matter how much you attack and
that while traveling through time, his body aged many years with his mind
remaining in its juvenile state. Toward the end of the battle, Pokey
will start using a bomb attack that inflicts about 150 HP of damage to
the entire party. Use Lucas's Lifeup[omega] (28 PP) to keep the party
alive.
After you inflict enough damage, Pokey's machine will break down, and he
will retreat into his "Absolutely Safe Capsule." Pokey will be impervious
to all damage while in the capsule, and the battle will automatically end
after a couple of rounds.
-Lucas: (first turn) Offense Up[omega] (18 PP)
standard attack
Lifeup[omega] (28 PP), if a party member's HP falls to 150 or
below toward the end of the battle
-Kumatora: PK Thunder[omega] (32 PP)
PK Ground (43 PP), if learned
-Duster: (first turn) Tickle Feather
standard attack
food item, if HP falls to 150 or below
-Boney: standard attack
food item, if HP falls to 150 or below
offensive items
d)Masked Man
���߂�̂��Ƃ� "Kamen no Otoko"
Recommended Level: 58
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 80~120 HP
Comments: The Masked Man will hit twice when he uses this attack. The
above damage values are for each hit.
-Shield Killer
Effect: removes any shields from the party
-PK Love[alpha]
Damage: 100~200 HP
-PK Love[beta]
Damage: 200~300 HP
-PK Love[gamma]
Damage: 300~500 HP
-PK Love[omega]
Damage: 500~700 HP
-Fire a powerful lighting bolt
Damage: renders all but Lucas unconscious
Comments: The Masked Man will only use this attack if you revive a party
member.
Strategy
Before you start this battle, place any Magypsy memento's you may have
into Lucas's inventory. With enough mementos, you may not need to use
Lifeup to stay alive during the final fight (thanks to: J. Lexi).
This will be a defensive fight in which you have to survive a certain
number of rounds without attacking. You will have to manage the rolling
HP counter well in order to preserve enough PP to keep using Lifeup
[gamma] (16 PP) and keep Lucas alive. It may be a good idea to give Lucas
your best food items and PP recovery items before the fight begins. Do
not attempt to revive the other party members, as the Masked Man will
just knock them out again with his lighting attack if you do so.
Have Lucas defend in each round. Wait until the HP counter rolls down to
about 100~120 HP before using Lifeup[gamma] (16 PP), and pause the fight
until the HP counter rolls back up to max HP. If you have learned Refresh
(20 PP), using that move may help you survive as well. After a few
rounds, Hinawa will start talking to the two boys in an attempt to stop
Claus from fighting. Hinawa will gradually get through to Claus and the
battle will eventually end.
-Lucas: defend
Lifeup[gamma] (16 PP), if the HP counter falls to 100~120 or
below
Refresh (20 PP)
WALKTHROUGH
a)Cave of the Future
When you regain control of the party, talk to Flint.
"Lucas.
There's something I need to check.
Let me go ahead of you.
>Yes >No" (If you answer "no," Flint will ask again)
When Flint leaves, attempt to move forward. Kumatora will stop you and ask
if you intend to go. Keep going.
On the way down, you can find a doorknob near the bottom of one of the
ladders. The doorknob is the one Thomas broke off of Flint's door in Chapter
1. If you examine it, Lucas will accidentally drop it.
Examine the gift box at the bottom of the cave to recover the party. The hot
spring in the box can be examined at any time to recover HP/PP.
There are a few enemies lurking in the cave, but you should be easily able
to defeat them. There is a boss battle coming up soon, however, so be sure
not to let any party member's HP drop too low.
Keep going through the cave and the party will eventually run into Flint:
"That, that Masked Man...it was Claus.
Lucas...
It was Claus, your brother.
I don't know why he's obeying Pokey,
but I was finally able to find my dear son.
Lucas.
Be happy.
We finally found your brother."
There is a gift box to the west that contains a Real Bat. This weapon for
Lucas increases Offense by 100 and max PP by 50.
b)Pokey
Make sure the party is at near max HP. If you have any food items or
offensive items such as Super Bombs, you may want to give them to Boney or
Duster. Go forward a little more and Pokey will soon stop you.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stoooooop.
*Coughcoughcoughcough*
Playtime is over.
I can't let you go any further.
Don't worry about the needle.
My adorable little monster is on his way to its location.
*Wheeze wheeze pant pant*
...What?
His name is Claus?
That monster
had a name like Claus?!
It's almost like he's human.
But now he's my robot.
There's not a trace of life in him.
He's Mr. Pokey's obedient robot slave!
He moves by my will.
He is a part of me.
He says he has no idea who you are!
*Cough cough*"
Have Lucas use Offense Up[omega] (18 PP) in the first round while Duster
uses his Tickle Feather to reduce Pokey's Defense at least once. If Pokey
reduces the party's Offense, it may be a good idea to use Lucas's Offense Up
[omega] again. Don't worry about increasing the party's Defense or using a
Shield, as you can only reduce the damage inflicted by one of Pokey's
attacks.
Have Kumatora use PK Thunder[omega] (32 PP) or PK Ground (43 PP) as much as
possible. Pokey is protected by a Psycho-Counter from the beginning of the
battle, but neither PSI attack is affected by it. PK Ground can inflict
about 700 HP of damage with each use, so if Kumatora has not learned it yet,
it may be a good idea to level her up to level 60 before fighting this
battle. Have the rest of the party use their standard attacks. There is
nothing tricky about the rhythm of the battle music, so you should be able
to combo relatively well.
If multiple party members are debilitated by status effects, have Lucas use
Healing[omega] (30 PP) to recover. If you need to recover HP, try to have
Boney use a food item instead of using Lifeup. Lucas can inflict over 500 HP
of damage with a 16 hit combo, so it's probably more efficient to have him
focus on attacking. This is the last serious fight of the game, so you can
make liberal use of food items.
Pokey will make a few speeches as you inflict more and more damage. In them,
he explains how he cannot die no matter how much you attack and that while
traveling through time, his body aged many years with his mind remaining in
its juvenile state. Toward the end of the battle, Pokey will start using a
bomb attack that inflicts about 150 HP of damage to the entire party. Use
Lucas's Lifeup[omega] (28 PP) to keep the party alive and have the other
party members finish Pokey off.
When the battle is over, Pokey's machine will break down and he will retreat
into his "Absolutely Safe Capsule," a machine made by Dr. Andonuts and the
Mr. Saturns. Pokey will be impervious to all damage while in the capsule,
and the battle will automatically end after a couple rounds.
Dr. Andonuts will approach and explain that the capsule not only protects
its occupier but also prevents the person inside from affecting the outside
world. It is an impenetrable prison from which there is no escape.
Travel further into the cave and eventually you will find a hot spring and a
save frog. The final boss is coming up soon, so be sure to recover. You may
also want to give Lucas your best food items and PP recovery items. Give
Lucas any remaining Magypsy mementos you may have as well; they may come in
handy during the final fight (thanks to: J. Lexi). Walk to the final area of
the game.
c)Masked Man
When you reach the final needle, the Masked Man will strike the party with
lightning. All but Lucas will be rendered unconscious, and the battle will
begin.
This will be a defensive fight in which you have to survive a number of
rounds without attacking. If you try to attack, the battle dialogue window
will say, "For some reason, Lucas could not attack," and Lucas will do
nothing. You will have to manage the rolling HP counter well in order to
preserve enough PP to keep using Lifeup[gamma] (16 PP) to keep Lucas alive.
Wait until the HP counter rolls down to about 100~120 HP before recovering
with Lifeup[gamma], and then wait until the HP counter rolls up to max HP
before proceeding with the battle (alternatively, with enough mementos, you
can simply "defend" and not worry about using Lifeup (thanks to: J. Lexi)).
Do not attempt to revive the other party members, as the Masked Man will
just knock them out again with lighting if you do so.
As the battle progresses, Hinawa will start to interrupt the fight, and the
conclusion to this familial drama will unfold.
Lucas
"You heard your name being called from somewhere."
Claus
"It was Hinawa's voice.
It did not reach the Masked Man."
Claus, stop it
You are not Pokey's robot
You are our child!
"The Masked Man
looked around the area."
"The Masked Man tried PK Love[omega]!"
Flint:
"Lucas! Watch out!"
"Flint jumped in front of Lucas!
Claus's attack inflicted mortal damage to Flint."
Flint:
"Claus, wake up.
Claus,
I've been looking for you."
"The Masked Man tried PK Love[omega]!"
"Flint suffered heavy damage.
Flint could not get back up."
("Lucas attacks!")
Lucas
You stop
fighting first
"Hinawa's voice resounded with sadness."
Claus
You and Lucas
are brothers
Can you hear me?
You are Claus
Your name is Claus
You are our child
Please
remember!
Both of you
[Fade to flashback]
To be blessed with two children at once.
They may not be able to do everything by themselves
but I'm sure they'll be able to do anything together.
I bet they're going to fight a lot.
I'm sure they'll help each other too.
Claus and
Lucas...
We'll probably keep mixing them up
until they get older.
Claus and
Lucas, huh.
How should we raise them?
I want them to be thoughtful and compassionate, just like you...
Oh?
I want them
to be thoughtful and compassionate, like you.
That's what I'm saying.
Claus.
Lucas.
I'm counting on you.
"Lucas doesn't know what to do."
"The Masked Man stared at Lucas."
"Lucas's heart ached with pain."
"The Masked Man covered his ears."
"Lucas felt like crying."
"The Masked Man closed his eyes."
Claus...
Claus...
Come to your mother
You must be tired
Come here Claus
"The Masked Man looked around,
as if he were searching for something."
"The Masked Man showed his face.
His face looked just like Lucas.
It was Claus."
"Claus fired a powerful lighting bolt!
Lucas's Franklin Badge reflected the lightning bolt!
Claus suffered mortal damage!"
"Claus approached Lucas.
Claus embraced Lucas.
Lucas remembered Claus's scent."
Claus:
"Sorry it had to be this way, man.
I'm so happy you're with me in the end.
Thanks.
Dad.
I'm sorry.
I didn't listen to you.
I'm going to where mom is.
Lucas.
I hope we can see each other again.
Bye.
Thanks.
I'm sorry.
I'll see you later."
"Claus fell into a long sleep."
Flint:
"Lucas...thanks.
Claus was just a little reckless.
You'll forgive your reckless brother, right?
...
Now,
It's time for you to pull the final needle.
Are you ready?
>Yes >No
Yes:
| Hinawa and Claus have placed their fates into your hands.
No:
| You made it this far.
| You'll be fine.
Believe in yourself, and pull the last needle.
There's nothing that should be left sealed anymore.
Let's join with the dragon held underground.
Give your heart to the dragon!
Plead for the protection of life in this world with your heart.
All of us, we all...
we all believe in you.
Now you have to believe in yourself.
Go. The dragon is waiting to awaken."
"Your life,
and the life of those that believe in you.
Will you stake everything and pull the needle?
>Yes >No" (It does not matter what you answer)
_______________________________________________________________________________

4.The Ending
After the final scene, the screen will go blank and the words "End?" will
appear. Use the control pad to move the "End?" around the screen and various
characters from the game will start talking to you, the player. Keep moving
the "End?" to see all the dialogue and the endgame credits.
Ow, ow, ow!
Watch where you're stepping!
What are you, blind?
Everything's fine.
This isn't a dream.
It's a miracle, a miracle.
It looks like everyone is safe.
I thought everything was destroyed but
everyone is still alive!
This can only be a miracle.
The dragon's revival has given strength to every living being...
That was pretty scary, though.
But does that mean once the danger is passed, the heat is forgotten?
Anyway, everyone is doing great.
That was a scary story.
Are you, by chance, [player's name]?
You're OK!
What a relief.
Hey, everyone!
[Player's name] is here!
[Player's name]!
Lucas wanted to see you.
[Player's name], thanks for everything you've done.
You saved Lucas and his friends.
If it weren't for you, this world might have become messed up.
To be honest, I felt really scared when Lucas pulled the final needle.
I believed in him.
I believed in him, but I was so scared I felt like my body was going to
fall apart and get blown away.
But look!
Everyone, that guy, that girl, everyone...
we're all fine!
We were given back something incredibly big!
Man, I can't stop crying for some reason.
What's with this feeling.
I wonder what this feeling is.
I've never seen Kumatora cry before.
She's kinda cute, now that I look at her.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You're stepping on me!
You're stepping on me!
A mole cricket has a life too, you know!
*Tap tap*
Heh, heh, heh.
Guess who's tapping your shoulder?
I'm Wes.
I didn't tap your shoulder.
I'm Alec, but I didn't tap your shoulder.
It was Wes, even though he says it's not him.
We're both fine.
We're fine, right?
Oxygen?
Have we met somewhere before?
Me? My name is Rope Snake...
I plan to live the quiet life now as Snake Rope.
Feel free to talk to me if you ever feel any sympathy.
Say, "Thanks."
Say, "Your jaw came in real handy."
"A normal snake couldn't do what you did.
A plain 'ol rope couldn't do what you did either."
Well, I've talked too much now, but I hope we can see each other again.
Your name was [player's name], right?
I'll be sure to remember that name in my heart.
Take care!
Take care!
*Boing*
Now that my job of saving is over,
I think I'll spend some time taking care of the tadpoles.
It was nice working with you.
I fell.
My nose hit the ground when I fell.
Bark!
(I'm fine too!)
You touched something swaying.
The thing is happily rocking back and forth.
It looks like something is inside, but you're not sure what.
Your feet hit something small and round...
It was a doorknob.
You obtained a doorknob!
Hey!
[Player's name]!
Thank you.
I'm very grateful.
Thanks for everything.
I wish we could be together for a little longer.
We just met, and now we have to say goodbye.
Everyone in this world is safe thanks to you.
Thank you.
[Player's name].
Hee hee.
It was fun.
[Player's name]!
Let's meet again.
We can see each other as many times as we want.
Mr. [player's name]!
Bye!
How is your world?
We'll manage on our side somehow...
Is everything OK on your side?
Take care of your world, [player's name]!
Thank you.
Good bye.
Bye.
Bye bye.
Thank you very much!
Come again!
Thanks.
[Player's name]!
We'll see each other soon.
Don't forget us.
Good bye.
Thank you.
We had some good times.
...
Thanks...

*******************************************************************************
XV.Extras
*******************************************************************************
This section lists some secrets that are easy to miss or helpful to your party.
I do not know every little thing about the game, and this section is not
complete. Everything in this section can be found in the main walkthrough of
this guide but is organized and listed here for easier reference.
CHAPTERS 1 - 7
a)Infinite Thunder Bombs
There is a gift box hidden behind Wes and Duster's house in east
Tatsumairi. Their house is across the bridge and to the north up the ridge;
the gift box is hidden behind the left side of the house. This gift box
refills every time you enter the Crossroad, the area north of the town
square.
CHAPTER 1
a)Better Stick at Thomas's Bazaar
Purpose: receive the Better Stick ("Mashi na Bou"), a weapon for Flint that
increases Offense by 20
The Better Stick is a weapon for Flint that occasionally appears at
Thomas's Bazaar in the town square. It is the best weapon Flint can get in
Chapter 1.
The items available at Thomas's Bazaar seem to change after every storyline
event, such as cut-scenes, boss fights, and required NPC interactions. I
don't think time is a factor--I've tried waiting up to 20 minutes while
messing around in town and in the forest without Thomas changing what he
had for sale; on the other hand, triggering a scripted event that took less
time did the trick.
b)Rare Enemy: Soot Dumpling
Purpose: earn 1000 experience points
A rare enemy called the Soot Dumpling occasionally appears in front of
Lighter's collapsed house after the townspeople rescue Lucas and Claus. If
you want to find it, repeatedly exit and reenter the area until it appears.
The Soot Dumpling simply rolls back and forth and can be easily approached
from behind, though it will disappear if you run towards it.
The Soot Dumpling has very low Offense but incredibly high Defense. As
such, you will likely only inflict 1 HP of damage to each other. It has
about 36 HP and will disappear after a few rounds, and it can only be
defeated with high combos since bombs have no effect and a SMAAAASH!! hit
only inflicts 1 or 2 HP of damage.
c)Rare Enemy: Beanling
Purpose: earn 538 exp. points
The Beanling is a rare enemy that appears in Sunshine Forest after the
townspeople rescue Lucas and Claus. It can be found in the first burnt part
of the forest just before Lighter's collapsed house; check the northern
half of the area. As far as I know, the Beanling doesn't appear in any
other part of the woods.
The Beanling looks like a very small, hopping bean outside of battle. It
moves as fast as Flint can dash and always tries to run away.
Before trying to catch it, make sure Flint has at least 100 HP or so. The
Beanling likes to use PK Fire, and the more time you spend recovering in
battle, the more likely the Beanling will run away and disappear.
When the Beanling runs into an obstacle and can no longer move away from
Flint, it will burrow into the ground. It will reemerge a few seconds
later at a nearby spot. This is the only time you can catch the Beanling,
as it takes a couple seconds to come out of the ground.
You should be able to defeat the Beanling in two to three rounds with
combos or about four to five rounds without. Flint will earn 538 exp.
points for catching and defeating this enemy.
CHAPTERS 4 - 7
a)Rare Enemy: The Black Beanling
Purpose: earn 16,080 experience points
The Black Beanling is a rare enemy that appears in Sunshine Forest between
Isaac and Lighter's houses (this used to be the first burnt part of the
forest in Chapters 1 - 3); check the southern half of the area. Don't try
to hunt for this enemy until Lucas has learned PSI by the train tracks.
Be near max HP before trying to fight the Black Beanling. The Beanling
looks like a small, hopping bean outside of battle and always tries to run
away. To catch this enemy, chase it into an obstacle and make it burrow
into the ground. Keep running around until the Beanling reemerges from a
nearby spot after a little while. The Beanling will take a couple seconds
to come out of the ground; this is the only time you can catch it.
The Black Beanling likes to use PK Fire and will run away after a few
rounds. If you're at a low level, use Lucas's PK Love[alpha] (10 PP) while
Boney uses food items and Thunder Bombs when possible.
You'll be rewarded with 16,080 experience points for defeating this enemy,
enough to level up Lucas and Boney by about 13 or 14 levels at the
beginning of Chapter 4. I believe the Black Beanling gives the most
experience points out of all normal enemies in the game.
CHAPTER 5
a)Lord Passion and the Mystical Shoes
Purpose: obtain the Mystical Shoes for Duster; increases max HP by 15,
Offense by 40, IQ by 5, and Speed by 7
Return to Osohe Castle and enter the room where you fought Mr. Passion to
meet an even stronger Lord Passion. This boss can only be fought in this
chapter, and you will receive the Mystical Shoes for defeating him. To
fight Lord Passion, talk to him and answer "no" when he asks you to listen
to his music or compliment his hair.
Lord Passion has decent Offense and can inflict heavy damage to the entire
party. Use Duster's Smoke Bomb in the first round to make Lord Passion cry.
Use the Scary Mask and Kumatora's Offense Down[alpha] (7 PP) until they
work 3 times on Lord Passion, and decrease Lord Passion's Defense once (or
3 times if you can't combo) with the Tickle Feather as well. Have Boney
defend until Lord Passion's Offense is lowered.
Use Offense Up[alpha] (6 PP) on Lucas, Duster, and Boney once each. Have
Boney throw Thunder Bombs if you want to inflict more damage. (Don't use
Sprinting Bombs--they're not very effective.)
Kumatora should attack with PK Fire[alpha] (6 PP). If you can combo with
Lucas, have Kumatora use Lifeup[alpha] (5 PP) on anyone with less than 40
HP. Use Healing[alpha] (4 PP) if Lucas or Duster are paralyzed or start
crying. If you can't combo, have Lucas recover instead.
The battle music cycles through four songs: Beethoven's 5th Symphony,
Bach's Toccata and Fugue, Handel's Messiah, and Vivaldi's Spring. The
Beethoven and Vivaldi pieces have the same rhythm, while Handel is slightly
faster. The Bach piece has an extremely slow and unusual beat, and you
should not try to combo with it unless you want to put Lord Passion to
sleep.
b)The 7 Mouse Kids and the Shield Snatcher
Purpose: receive the Shield Snatcher, an item that can remove an enemy's
shield
Near the middle of the Highway area, you will find a mouse who will ask you
to find her 7 lost kids. If you do this for her, she will give you the
Shield Snatcher, an item that can remove an enemy's shield. The seven kids'
locations are:
1.Southwestern most area of the Highway
2.Where you fought the Fierce Pork Trooper
3.Outside the factory
4.Near the northern Energy Station
5.On the bridge
6.In the tunnel east of the Cafe
7.In the cave south of the sixth mouse
Once you find the seven kids, talk to the mother again to receive the
Shield Snatcher.
CHAPTER 7
a)Mystical Gloves
Purpose: obtain the Mystical Gloves for Kumatora; increases max HP and PP
by 10, Offense by 55, IQ by 7, and Speed by 5
The Mystical Gloves for Kumatora is sometimes dropped by the Monkalrus (a
walrus/orangutan hybrid) on Tanehineri Island.
b)Mystical Stick
Purpose: obtain the Mystical Stick for Lucas; increases max HP and PP by
10, Offense by 90, IQ by 5, and Speed by 5
The Mystical Stick for Lucas is sometimes dropped by the Heftyhead (a
creature with a large head) on Orishimo Mountain.
CHAPTER 8
a)King Statue
Purpose: earn experience points and receive the Trivia Card 4
After exiting the sewers under New Pork City, buy a New Year's Eve bomb
from the Pigmask arms dealer in the northeast part of town if you don't
have one.
Repeatedly examine the giant statue above the arms dealer to fight it:

here is mostly for people who can't read Japanese and may want more detailed
information on how to find and identify NPCs. Villagers are listed in
alphabetical order.
Below is a simple map of Tatsumairi Village. It should hopefully clarify the
place names I use.

GBA or controller. Press UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT to unlock the buttons.
The icons on the favorites menu are the following:
REMOVE | MOVE UP | MOVE DOWN || BACK | STOP | PLAY | FORWARD ||

MOVE UP: Places the highlighted song before the preceding song.
MOVE DOWN: Places the highlighted song after the following song.

SHUFFLE: Randomizes the ordering of the songs on the list. There is no way to
restore the original ordering of the list other than to manually
order each song using MOVE UP and MOVE DOWN.
