Lost In Blue 3 Tips Version 0.25 By yunakitty ([email protected] These are some of the topics that I see the most questions about on the LIB3 message boards. I do plan on making walkthroughs for each of the characters, but that's going to take a while, and I'd just like to get some of this information out there so that people can have access to it now. Table of Contents Diving Talking to the Chimpanzee Recipes and Cooking Food Your Partners Will Bring Raising Animals Fish Locations Making Necklaces Building Relationships Different Places to Live Diving_______ You must visit the last beach, beyond the gas zone, before you will be able to dive. Go all the way to the upper right of the map, kind of down a snaky path. When you get to the end, a scene will trigger and you will be able to dive. You must be a boy or be with a boy to dive. There is an in-game explanation of how to dive. Basically, you hold L and R at the same time until your hands touch, then release. Repeat until you reach the bottom. I like to hold my hands together for just a moment, and then release; you seem to dive further with each stroke this way. Occasionally you will hear a blip noise and fish will swim by; this means the shark is near! You have to press and hold A until he passes. If you're trying to save time, you don't really have to hold A until the fish appear, not right when you hear the blip. You can also release A when just the shark's head is out of the screen. These have always worked for me, but you might want to quicksave before diving just to be safe. If the shark does see you, it will automatically turn you so you are swimming up. Just swim like normal until you reach the surface. The shark is fast, but you should be able to outrun him. Watch your breath meter. If it runs out, you will be returned to the surface, lose any items that you had, and lose 25% of your health. So don't let it run out! When you reach the bottom, you will see some light colored sand piles and maybe some black spots. The black spots are sea urchins, and the sand piles are various things. Tap one with your stylus and you will zoom in. If there is an item there, tap it to take it. If the screen is blank, it means there is something buried. In my experience, it is always clams or shortnecks, so it's really not worth the time to dig. I can dig those up on the beach if I want them, and not with a time limit! I just back out and choose another pile if I get a blank screen. I may be wrong; please let me know if you've found anything else digging at the bottom of a dive spot. Once you're done digging, hit Y or the top left corner to head towards the surface. Repeat the swimming until you break the surface. There are three places that you can dive. The last beach (depth of 8m), the quarry (depth of 5m) and the underground lake (depth of 10m.) At the last beach, you can find (in addition to assorted shellfish, two of which, the sea urchin and abalone, I haven't gotten any other way) copper wires to fix doors in the lab, and after you've triggered making necklaces; you will sometimes find blue stones. At the quarry dive spot (to the left, climb up) you can find the flat stone, used for stir-frying. You can also find blue stones (but no copper wires.) In the underground lake, you can find green stones (again, after you can make necklaces, they won't show up before that) the IC card (if you're Claire, he'll dive automatically for it; but if you're Eric, you have to find it yourself.) You can also find bones and stones, which are very disappointing, especially considering it's the deepest dive! No shellfish will be found in the underground lake. ****************************************************** Talking to the Chimpanzee__________ First off, Claire is the one that talks to the chimp. If you are playing as her, great, if not, that's OK too. Just bring her along and you can talk to him. The chimp will appear in one of the three circular areas on the left side of the jungle map. He appears once everyday; once you've talked to him, he's gone until the next day. You have two options, Offer Present or Talk. When you first meet the chimp, it's no good to offer a present. He doesn't trust you and he is too far away to accept it. You have to talk to him successfully two times (doesn't have to be consecutive days) before he will get close enough to give presents to. Talking is simple, but it can be challenging. Make sure you quicksave before talking to the chimp so that you can get the hang of it, and reset if necessary. He will make one of three sounds to you "Uho", "Uki", or "Ki ki." You have to repeat it back when he starts listening. Note that the sound he makes and the written sound may not seem the same, but I've had success just saying them like they're written (Ooh hoe, Ooh Key, and Key Key), but in a monkey voice. I usually say it over and over until he reacts instead of just once. I'm not sure if it matters, but I've had the most success that way. The first time you talk to him, you have to repeat one sound. The second time, two sounds. And so on. Once you have talked to him twice, he will be close enough the next time to give him presents. He will ask for three different things. A green symbol means he's hungry; he wants a lunchbox. A blue symbol means he's thirsty, he wants a papaya or a pineapple. An "!" means that he would like a necklace. Quicksave before offering a present, just in case he asks for something that you don't have. You could arrive to meet him with all three things in your bag, but of course if you can't make necklaces yet, that's a problem! At the very minimum, it's so easy to have a piece of juicy fruit, since they are nearby. You do only have to talk to him twice to get him close enough to give gifts. But if you talk to him 4 times successfully, he will get very close to you, and the quality of the gifts improves. 2 talks - Tomato, Apple, Random Fruit, Log 3 talks (haven't done, skipped over) 4 talks - Red Stone, Bottle, Bones, Random Fruit, Apple, Tomato, Iron Rod Obviously, the most coveted items are the tomato, apple and the red stone. You can quicksave, give a gift and then reset if it's not what you wanted. If you give him bad gifts, or things he didn't ask for, he will eventually back up a step or two, and you'll have to talk to him again to get him to come closer. *********************************** Recipes and Cooking____________ Boys can only cut and grill. Girls can use all other cooking methods. You start out with just cut and grill. To unlock each of the cooking methods: Deep Fry - get lard (if you're a girl, ask James to go for food and he will eventually bring it.) Then, ask a partner about lard, and it will unlock. Stirfry - Get the flat stone by diving from the quarry. You have to unlock diving first, so this will be much later in the game than when you first come to the quarry. Boil - Dig up the bowl. It is in the lower part of the lake area (bottom exit from bat cave.) Right when you enter that area, run up and climb up, then run all the way up. You should see something sticking out of the ground. Tap on it and dig it up. Note that this only happens after Kumiko is revived, so don't bother looking until she's awake. Steam - Same as Boil. There is an in game explanation for each of the cooking methods, so I won't bother. Remember that you can hit select while you're cooking to get the explanation again. You'll need spices to cook. All spices except rock salt can be found by hitting A when standing in any green area, and even the swamp. Rock salt can be found most places where it is sandy. Here are all the confirmed recipes.

You've probably noticed that partners bring you different things at different base camps. If you need a certain ingredient, this might help in knowing who to ask or where you need to be living. Note - if you are in one camp and ask a partner to get food, and then move into another camp the same day, when you wake up, the partner will give you a delivery of food based on the new camp, not where you were when you asked them to move. This can be convenient when you want ingredients from two different places- ie- ask James to get food in the morning at the treehouse, then pick an onion, a carrot, and a potato, and move back to the lab. He's more likely to bring boar meat at the lab, and you'll already have the other ingredients for Pot-au-feu. Also, how much your partners like you will definitely influence the amount of food you get. So butter them up and they'll bring a lot more home, and you'll have more to choose from at dinner time. (See the Building Relationships section.) This is not an exhaustive list; rather, just what I have observed. Your partners might surprise you and bring other things! As a rule, James is the only partner that brings meats and fur. Kumiko and Eric, being the fishers, bring fish, shellfish, and veggies. Claire brings fruits and veggies. (There's no entries for her below, because I'm playing as her while making this guide!) Kumiko and Eric will also start bringing lard to the treehouse, which is weird, but whatever! First Cave Eric - Mushrooms, clams James - Rabbit, pigeon, raccoon, lynx Kumiko - Mushroom, clams, white carp Quarry Eric - Seaweed, Potato, Sardine, Blue Mushroom, Black Mushroom, Brown Mushroom, White Mushroom James - Duck, Raccoon, Goat, Rabbit, Lard Kumiko - Lab Eric - Char, Rainbow Trout, White Carp, Blue Mushroom, Purple Mushroom, Burdock James - Boar, Duck, Pigeon, Deer, Wolf, Lynx, Lard, Fur Kumiko - Char, Rainbow trout Treehouse Eric - Seaweed, Moray Eel, Sardine, Scallop, Tomato, Potato, Lard, Brown Mushroom, White Mushroom James - Hawk, Chicken, Pigeon, Lynx, Wolf, Lard Kumiko - Potato, Radish, onion, chives, mushrooms, seaweed, tomato, lard, moray eel, sillaginoid, Scallop ******************************* Raising Animals______________ You can raise either a goat or chicken in this game, and you can be either male or female to do this. Note - you can't have both animals at the same time. Catching a Chicken - You have to have talked to a partner to trigger being able to catch and raise the chicken. This happens either after you've eaten chicken that was brought home by James, or after you've caught and eaten chicken yourself. Even a girl can use the small trap to catch a chicken. Most people don't know that. A small trap is a basket and a twig combined. Place it on most green areas. You can check it immediately, and keep checking it over and over again until what you want is caught in it. If it's not what you want, just let it escape. If it is, tap it with your stylus and drag it into your bag. It can be hard sometimes, because the little critters want to get away! If you've talked to a partner about raising the chicken, you will get the option "Raise the chicken?" Say yes and you will capture it alive. Note that it's not in your inventory, and you don't have to go home right away either. When you do get home, it will be there, and you can also talk to a partner about catching it for an easy friendship boost. You need to water the chicken daily. The morning is the best time. You need a water bottle to do this. Walk up to the front of the chicken and press A to water it. If it is healthy, it will lay an egg every morning. If you move, the chicken will move with you and appear in front of your new house. Catching a Goat - This one is somewhat harder. I'm not sure of the exact way to trigger your partners to talk about the goat. It should help to have seen a goat in person (again, run in and out of the Field screen, but you'll have to actually run over to the area where the goat appears and back again instead of just popping in and out.) Also, having eaten goat meat at some point is important. James will bring it back for you if you ask him to go for food at most bases. Also, you have to be far enough in the game to have seen the deer in the Jungle river area. I got the goat by setting a large trap in the leftmost grassy patch in the Field (area to the west of your first cave.) Right in the middle of the grass is the best spot. Then, leave and reenter the screen over and over (the lab hatch is the best spot to go from.) You don't actually have to run over to the trap, because if you catch one, you will hear the goat hollering for its life right when you enter the screen. You may not catch one on the first day of trying. Large traps disappear the next day, so you'll have to set a new one, but don't get discouraged. Try again. If it's taking a ridiculous amount of time, however, maybe you haven't triggered catching a goat yet, and you might want to try some of the tips in the last paragraph. When you do catch one, run up to it and choose to raise it. The goat will appear in front of your base, even the lab! Water it daily from the front (with a full water bottle) then milk it from the side (with an empty water bottle.) If you're a guy, then you need to join with a girl to water and milk it. The game will explain the milking mini game. I never even mess with trying to pet it or anything. I just milk as fast as I can before it gets too mad. You might want to quicksave before attempting it the first time, just to get the hang of it. *********************************** Fishing and Fish Locations___________________ Note- it's not a complete list by any means, since I don't do much fishing. This is just what I've observed personally. All characters can spear fish and use the fish trap (which is useless in my opinion, but that's your call.) Only Kumiko and Eric can use fishing poles. You need bamboo or a stick, a vine, and a sharpened bone or stone to make a fishing pole. Spears can make made out of sticks, bamboo, or iron rods, and you can attach a sharpened stone or bone if you wish. Beach 1 River at Cave 1 Sweetfish (speared) Beach 2 (Quarry) Watering hole at Quarry Masu Salmon (speared) Beach 3 (north of bamboo grove) Swamp (can you fish here?) Jungle River Lake White Carp (speared) Underground Lake Eel (speared) White Carp (speared and fished) Last Beach Sillaginoid (speared) Mackerel (speared) ************************** Making Necklaces _________________ To unlock the ability to make necklaces, you must revisit the first cave after you have woken Kumiko. Stay the night and you should get a scene the next morning. Just play along, and at the end you'll be able to make necklaces. This will also unlock finding shells on the beach and finding colored stones. When you stoop and search the ground in any sandy area, you will start to find shells in addition to rock salt. It will just show a graphic of a shell, but there are actually 9 different shells you can find. If you open your backpack, then press X, it will switch screens and show you how much rope, bait, spices you have, as well as shells and stones. Colored Stones can be found: Red Stone - befriend the chimp by talking to him 4 times, he will give you these randomly when you offer him a present (see Talking to the Chimpanzee.) Orange Stone - Found in flower field where Kumiko crashed. If you stand on top of the little purple flowers off by themselves (not the big patches near her plane) and tap yourself, you will switch to ground view, and sometimes these will be there. Looks like an egg. Yellow Stone - Hop across the stones to get to the little island in the middle of the lake. Stand on a bare patch and tap yourself, you might find a yellow stone. There are four bare patches, and I once found a stone in each one on the same day. Green Stone - Found while diving in the underground lake. Light Blue Stone - Dolphin will randomly give to you as present once he likes you enough. Dark Blue Stone - Found while diving at last beach or at quarry. Purple Stone - Found in center island of jungle river area. Row the raft there, then just move around, tapping yourself. I've found two, but it seems to be totally random where you find them, unlike the orange and yellow stones. I've heard that the stones you find on the ground take 10 days to respawn. I'm not sure if this is true or not. The diving ones, and the ones you get from animals don't seem to have a limit. I got 8 dark blue stones in one day of diving, and got a red stone from the monkey two days in a row. *************************** Building Relationships__________________ This is a very important aspect of the game that most people overlook. How much the other characters like you greatly affects how quickly they will get things done for you, and how much stuff they will bring back if you ask them to get stuff. There are a few ways to build relationships. An important thing to note now is the "happy sound" and the "sad sound." You will hear these after talking to a character, giving them a present, and at other times. Sad sound - -Ask character to do too much -Ask them how they're doing or ask to talk to them about something then cancel three times or more -Let the fire be out too long in the cave -Give a bad response in conversation. Happy Sound - -Ask them how they're doing (just once a day - and note, this will stop making a happy sound after a while, it's not bad, it just means that you are good enough friends that it's not affecting your relationship level anymore) -Give them a lunchbox as a gift ("I have a gift for you", not "Please hold onto something for me" or "Eat this.") It can just be a cut up mushroom and they will make the happy sound, but it's under debate whether a better lunch makes them "more happy." Note- they don't actually eat the lunchbox, so if you're tight for food, you're probably better off eating your good stuff as a shared meal and saving "trash" like mushrooms for gift lunches. Only one lunch a day will make them happy, so any more than that is wasted. -"Can I ask you something?" Choosing this when you actually have something to ask them about, and then asking them will make a happy sound. So, if you are already holding hands with one person, you might want to save these questions for another partner in order to get a free boost to your relationship with the second person. -Give them a necklace present (this will come much later in the game. You can give both a lunch and a necklace in the same day and get the happy sound for both. Don't know how much more happy necklaces that you really polished make them versus crummy quick ones. - Give them a bath. When you get a second oil drum and take it back to base, you should be able to ask a partner about building a bath, and then be able to do it. (1 log, 1 rope.) Take a partner out to the drum after 7pm to give them a bath. You basically just have to blow softly but steadily on the mic until they say they're done. Watch out for it to get too hot or cold, and blow harder or softer depending on what they want. Note that this can only be done at the quarry and the treehouse. - Going into the hot springs together. Once you get to a certain level with characters of the opposite sex, you will start holding hands. And yes, you can hold hands with two people (not at the same time, but you can be at that level with both of the opposite sex characters at the same time.) So, it's up to you whether you concentrate your love on one person, or spread it around. It's easy to make a quick lunch and ask each partner how they are doing every day, but I like to save my questions for James, because the more he likes you, the more meat and fur he brings, which is awesome! *********************** Different Places to Live There are four different bases you can live in. The first is the Seashore Cave (also called First Cave.) The second is the Quarry Cave (aka Second Cave or James' cave.) The third is the lab. The fourth is the treehouse. There are advantages and disadvantages to each. First Cave Pros: Easy water source; plentiful twig supply Cons: Can't build here ever; limited storage; won't rest as much due to primitive beds Second Cave Pros: Right on the water for fishing and salt collection; close to jungle and bamboo grove for stocking your piles; easy access to diving, dolphin and chimp Cons: Water source takes way too much time and energy to reach; can't find spices anywhere in this area Lab Pros: Shortcuts to other areas can be opened; centrally located; convenient water source (later;) comes with everything already built Cons: Hard to get to water source (at first); have to go a ways to get outside for picking spices and finding twigs Treehouse Pros: Easy access to diving and dolphin; easy to get vegetables Cons: Takes a long time and a lot of materials to build; can't pick spices anywhere here; must cross gas zone to get anywhere else. So, it's up to you where to live. Obviously, can't live in the lab to start out, but once you get to a certain point in the game, you'll have the freedom to move around. I find it most convenient to live in the quarry if I'm trying to stock up on furs, logs, ropes, or baskets. The lab is great for trying to complete the story ending. The treehouse is nice to live in for diving to get copper wires. And the first cave is good for stocking up on spices (it's the only one that you can step right out your door and find them.)
