Version 1.2 - 01/02/09 - finished the easy section. started the average section version 2.0 - 01/04/09 - added the main game missions version 2.1 - 01/10/09 - finished world 1 to 3... some areas left untouched. version 2.2 - 01/12/09 - started doing world 4. Still comtemplating on whether continuing this or not :D +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Introductions.......................................................[INTRO] | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Well, I know it's not practical to write a guide for this game, seeing that this game is on GBA, which is ancient by know, but what hooked me in writing this guide is that I played the PS2 game named "Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne", and there was one optional part of the game wherein you play a game akin to that of Puzzle de Call. I first heard of Puzzle de Call while searching Gamefaqs and looked for images. Seeing that there was no faq available, I decided to make one. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Notes...............................................................[NOTES] | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Look, the game is in Japanese, and I'm trying my best to finish this game. If, by any chance, you could understand the game's story, please do tell me. I have a vague idea what the story is... so I'm going to be so blank about the whole guide. Pity there's no english version of the game. I'm guessing it's because the game didn't quite sell out well... and so they revived a part of it in the PS2. Another note is that the moves I'm going to place here might not be the best, so please do not email me saying that my moves are idiotic or the likes. I am trying my best to post a solution, so please do not flame me. However, please do contact me in case you have a better solution that the one I posted. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Guide...............................................................[GUIDE] | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ I'm just going to post some directions, okay? Here are the guides: D - means Down U - means Up L - means Left R - means Right I'm not going to aim for the least possible moves at the moment. My goal for now is to finish the game, okay? After that I'm going to post the least number of moves one can get, okay? The Main Menu contains: Start Game Mini Games(?) Battle(?) Akuma Zenshou(?) I'm not really sure about what the characters really are, but it's what it seems to me... so there. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Main Game...........................................................[MAING] | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ I haven't finished the game yet, so most probably I'm still going to leave this incomplete... yeah. Once you enter the main game menu, you must select a character. This being the first monsters of the two main character - one of dawn, the other of dusk. I am at lost as to if it would affect the game somehow... seeing that I haven't finished the game yet. :D I'll be picking the blue one first... since blue's my favorite. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | World 1: Grass Fields............................................[GRASF] | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ The whole area looks like this: +--------++--------+ | || | | 1 || 2 | | || | +--------++--------+ | || | | 3 || 4 | | || | +--------++--------+ Area 1: R U R R U U L L L (Get Egg!)

Then get the smaller stones to continue the path down to the egg. The reason I didn't put any guide here is because I'm still looking for the least possible move (I believed I got one, but the game seems to make me think otherwise). Boss Area: This is very easy, considering there is no move limit, and the only thing you need to do is to pass through the red circles while avoiding the flames. There is an indication of where the flames would appear, so you should have no problem there. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | World 2: Ice Temple..............................................[ICTEM] | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ The whole area looks like this: +--------++--------++--------+ | || || | | 5 || 4 || 1 | | || || | +--------++--------++--------+ | || || | | 6 || 3 || 2 | | || || | +--------++--------++--------+ Area 1: (Still looking for the least number of moves :D) Area 2: D R R R D D D D D L U U R U U U L L D R L L U L D D R D D D L U U L (Get Egg!)

The puzzles here are quite challenging, if not on par with the game. Plus, it's somewhat unrestricted, compared with that on the main game mode. The mini games are categorized according to difficulty, so there. Each difficulty contains 10 levels, and each level has a minimum move indicated, though you can ignore it for the most parts. +--------+ | Easy | +--------+ Lvl 1 (Minimum: 44 moves): L L L L U U L L D R U L L D D D R R U U U U L L D R U L L D D L U R D D L L L L L L Done in 42 moves.

General Note: It seems that there's always 2-move allowance for the least number of moves that you can do...
