But enough about my current projects. This FAQ is my fourth FAQ for the PS2. The FAQ covers the general walkthrough for Dark Cloud 2, one of the very few RPGs in existence that won't bore me with repetitive play. As such, it is very much one of my favorites. Well, that's all you really need to know. Enjoy! 2. Version History*****************************DC2_2************************* v0.00 - (Never thought I'd put THAT.)

Walkthrough*****************************DC2_4***************************** +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ ++ ++ Section I- Some Explaining **DC2_41** ++ ++ ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If you've read some of my previous FAQs or are new to this or something, you may notice I've laid this out differently than most of my guides. Here, I explain what details what: [Quick Overview] This basically lists the photos you can get and the good power-ups. You'll also get the invention info. Starting in Chapter 2, you'll also be given character recruitment and Georama info, as well as info on monster badges. [Dungeon] For the most part, I labeled these with the last floor covered by that part. Here, I'll give you the medal information and some other information as needed. Additionally, I'll list the enemy species and quantities, which species SHOULD have the Gate Key, and the total base ABS and Gilda totals from these enemies. [Interlude] These typically follow periods of dungeon progression. During these, I recommend you exit the dungeon and do whatever it is listed there so as to either help you out better or progress further in the story. [Chapter Boss] This section deals with the final boss you'll fight during that Chapter. [Finishing the Chapter] This section deals with everything else between the boss and the screen of the next chapter. [?] Anything else is obvious once you read. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ ++ ++ Section II- Prologue (A Night At The Circus) **DC2_42** ++ ++ ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ O==========O | Monica | O==========O After selecting "New Game" and choosing Max's outfit (and Monica's, on your second playthrough), the game will shift to Monica. After the scene, you'll fight a battle. In battles, CIRCLE (or O) locks-on to enemies and shows their HP and Anger Gauges. X is the short-range attack; L1 and X controls the long range attack. The former will charge with the X held down. That'll be it for now. So, to fight the battle, simply use Monica's cheapest move. Hold and release X to damage and knock over most of the nearby enemies. After the battle, you'll switch to Maximilian. O=======O | Max | O=======O Once you're in control of Max, after the scene, go to the book-thing downstairs and use the Save Point. Now, continue to the lower part of the shop, to the bedroom area. Grab the wrench and the Notebook (the latter isn't needed, but may as well do it now). Return to the middle level and work on the vacuum cleaner. After that scene, you'll appear outside Flotsam's circus tent. Use the nearby Save Point if desired, then approach the clown. Press the Square button and select to use the ticket. After the cutscene, go around the area clockwise talking to people to find the thief. After finding him, watch the ensuing cutscene. Return to the clown and re-give him your ticket. After this, there will be some more cutscenes, after which you'll fight four Clowns. These enemies are rather weak, to be honest. The main thing to do is wail on them with your Wrench. Max also has a charge attack, like Monica, although not a long-range weapon yet. If you have trouble, press Triangle to use items or synth up a Bread to put on the Wrench, because the Clowns are weak to Flame. After that battle, there will be some more cutscenes and the game's theme song. After this, you'll be in the sewers. Save if you want and talk to Donny, using "Underground Water Channel..." as your choice. Thusly, after the cutscenes, you will be in Chapter 1! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ ++ ++ Section III- Chapter 1 (To The Outside World!) **DC2_43** ++ ++ ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ O===========================================================================O | 1- Quick Overview **DC2_431** | O===========================================================================O ____________________________ | HP and Defense Power-Ups \ |_____________________________\_______________________________________________ | Item Name .....

Okay, onto the dungeon! Firstly, fighting. Use X to attack with your short-range weapon, and L1+X to use your long-range weapon. Hold just X to charge for a powerful attack. Press Circle to lock-on to enemies and see their HP and Anger Gauges. Press Square to use the circled item in the top-left. Press R1 to guard and either negate or reduce damage. Press R1+X to pick up enemies or other things. About enemies... Lock-on to see their data. Their name is at the top. The red dots show the Anger Gauge -- with each hit, it empties some. Once it does, the enemy will temporarily do extra damage. The yellow bar shows their HP. When you defeat an enemy, the purplish bag they may drop has an item; the red-yellow circle may have Georama materials; the yellow bag (and coins?) are Gilda; the blue orbs are ABS. The Gate Key that you might gain is shown above your head when you get it. About chests... Press X when near one to open it. You may get an item of a random variety; a clown from which you may get a yellow or red box; a booby- trapped one (for these, either use a Treasure Chest Key or guess explosions); or a Mimic/King Mimic (enemies). Among the items are a Floor Map (which will reveal the whole floor map) and a Magic Crystal (shows all chests, enemies, etc., on the floor). You may also get an item to go through a barrier in the dungeon (this dungeon uses a Channel Key). About Medals... For this floor, there is a time goal (defeat all of the enemies within that time period); a Spheda goal (unlocked in Chapter 3); and a Clear Without Healing goal (clear out all monsters AND exit without healing). Clear a goal to get a medal, which can be used later. About finishing... To get out of the floor and to the next one, you'll need to get the Gate Key by defeating an enemy. Do so and go to the exit on the floor (yellow square on map). Press Square to select an item. This dungeon will use the Key Handle. Okay, that's all I got for now. Since the maps are randomized, I can't give you a walkthrough. Just do your best, I guess. I'll explain things as they come up, mainly medals. Okay, good luck! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Battle With Rats Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 2 minutes, 40 seconds ~~ Spheda prize : Diamond (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies only using items. Enemy Data: ~~ Clown (x2) ~~ Sewer Rat (x3) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Baron Balloon (x4) ~~ Froggy (x4) ~~ Bat (x5) Totals: ~~ ABS : 116 ~~ Gilda: 120 Notes: On the new clear goal: basically, you are only allowed to do damage to enemies via items. The items themselves can differ, but damage must NOT be done with a weapon or attack deflection. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ghost in the Channel Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 3 minutes ~~ Spheda prize : Improved Bomb (x4) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies with Max's right-hand weapon only. Enemy Data: ~~ Bat (x3) ~~ Night Stalker (x3) ~~ Baron Balloon (x4) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Turtle (x4) Totals: ~~ ABS : 98 ~~ Gilda: 105 Notes: Before starting, there will be a quick cutscene. After it, at the white screen, people often experience a game freeze. For some reason, pressing R3 or L3 seem to help out. Now, the new clear goal. Basically, you are only allowed to damage and kill enemies with Max's right-hand (close-range) weapon. You cannot deal damage with items, other characters, attack deflections, etc. -- it must be the right-hand weapon of Max. Got it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After completing "Ghost in the Channel", you'll arrive in the Channel Pump Room if you continue to the next floor. After the scene, you'll be fighting the elephant, Linda. Just attack as you can, dodging attacks as needed. You can't do damage, but just hit her a few times and you'll get it. O===========================================================================O | 3- Interlude: Making the Energy Pack! **DC2_433** | O===========================================================================O [Slight continuation from earlier, to catch you up.] After completing "Ghost in the Channel", you'll arrive in the Channel Pump Room if you continue to the next floor. After the scene, you'll be fighting the elephant, Linda. Just attack as you can, dodging attacks as needed. You can't do damage, but just hit her a few times and you'll get it. After the scene, you'll be back in Palm Brinks. Watch the scene. After it, you are to mainly get a photo of a Milk Can, a Pipe, and a Belt. You can get those, or mess around and take photos of everything -- you'll REALLY want to do the latter. The overview covers what you can photo during the chapter. However, the Waterfall, Fire House, Iron Bridge, and Coal must wait until later. So, let's get the pictures we require: ~~ Milk Can: Located outside Polly's bakery; inside the bakery; or inside of Morton's. ~~ Pipe: Roof of Cedric's Maintenance Shop. ~~ Belt: Go to the police station and the officer outside will be wearing one. Hey, while we're walking around, go to the Channel Entrance and open the chest there for a Fruit of Eden. It'll up your max HP by 8. Once you've gotten the photos, select the photos or ideas from the Make menu. Once all three are selected, press Square to invent an Energy Pack. This will work with other items. Return to Cedric now and speak with him. He'll give you some Gilda. Go to Morton's and buy what is required. Go to the Make menu, select the Energy Pack, and make it. Return to Cedric and thusly, you've let "Steve" (henceforth known as the Ridepod) handle longer battles. Now, save and return to the Channel Pump Room. O===========================================================================O | 4- Channel Pump Room; through Dungeon's End **DC2_434** | O===========================================================================O After inventing an Energy Pack for the Ridepod, return to the Channel Pump Room and engage Linda in battle once more! =============== MINIBOSS: Linda =============== Immediately press R3 and switch to Max. Wait for Linda to rear up into the air. When she does, take a picture while she's doing it for a scoop (Brave Little Linda). After nabbing the scoop, switch to the Ridepod. Basically, you can circle around her and hit her and not sustain much/any damage. After the battle and scene, let's continue further through the dungeon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Steve's Battle Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 2 minutes, 45 seconds ~~ Spheda prize : Level-Up Powder (x2) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies with just the Ridepod. Enemy Data: ~~ Clown (x2) ~~ Mimic (x3) ~~ Night Stalker (x4) ~~ Vanguard (x4) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Bat (x5) Totals: ~~ ABS : 162 ~~ Gilda: 170 Notes: First, a cutscene, then the dungeon! This floor contains two scoops: The first one is with the Night Stalker. Take a picture of it while it spins around. The second is with the Vanguard. Get up next to it and look up. As it flips (it should) for the piledriver, snap a photo. The scoops are "Night Stalker" and "Baron's Hangin' On" respectively. About Vanguards: these are those kinds of enemies you'll want to use Ridepod to beat up. For future reference, enemies of especially large size or those Max can't easily hurt are best dealt with via Ridepod. Now, the new clear goal... Basically, this one means that you are to defeat each enemy using only the Ridepod. Nothing else. ANOTHER NOTE: After this, go out of the dungeon and in front of Cedric's to find a chest yielding a Fruit of Eden! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sweet, Scary Treasure Chest Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 2 minutes, 30 seconds ~~ Spheda prize : Treasure Chest Key (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Complete and exit floor without healing. Enemy Data: ~~ King Mimic (x1) ~~ Vanguard (x3) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Darkness (x4) ~~ Froggy (x4) Totals: ~~ ABS : 122 ~~ Gilda: 126 Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After this, continue forward into the Channel Reservoir. O===========================================================================O | 5- Chapter Boss **DC2_435** | O===========================================================================O After finishing "Sweet, Scary Treasure Chest", go to the next floor -- the Channel Reservoir -- to start a cutscene. After this, you'll be fighting the chapter boss, Flotsam's robotic clown, the Halloween. =============== BOSS: Halloween =============== This boss also has a scoop. Simply back away from it. Eventually, it might open it's "eye" and shoot a missile at you. As it prepares to shoot, snap a shot of it. The scoop: Clown Robo's Attack. It is used in many inventions. Now, to the fight. The Halloween will shoot its nose at you. Use R1+X to pick it up, then X to throw it at the Halloween to damage it. This will cause the boss to "shut down" temporarily. Switch to Ridepod and start smashing. Continue this as needed. Occasionally, it may drop some little monsters on you. These are easy to defeat but must be defeated before the Halloween will return to the ground. I find the monsters to be good for ABS, but that's just me. After the battle, there will be a cutscene. View it and then exit to the last room. This will go outside, which the next section covers. O===========================================================================O | 6- Finishing the Chapter **DC2_436** | O===========================================================================O After defeating Halloween and exiting, you'll view a quick scene. After it, take a picture of the waterfall and the bridge. Then continue down the steps on the left. As you do, Blackstone One will pull in. Cedric will come out and there'll be some important scenes, after which you'll get control of yourself. Take photos of the Fire House and the Coal, then go up the ladder. After the scenes, you'll fight a "boss" of sorts. ================== "MINIBOSS": P-3000 ================== I say "miniboss" because this is ridiculously easy. Simply pick up a bomb and throw it at Flotsam. Pick up another, let him jump over, and throw another. Repeat as needed. Three bombs will finish him. After the battle, you'll find some scenes and Chapter 1 shall come to a close. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ ++ ++ Section IV- Chapter 2 (Resurrection of the Great Elder) **DC2_44** ++ ++ ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ O===========================================================================O | 1- Quick Overview **DC2_441** | O===========================================================================O ____________________________ | HP and Defense Power-Ups \ |_____________________________\_______________________________________________ | Item Name ...........

Head towards the left path not covered with flowers. In the new area, you'll find some more scenes. After those scenes, approach the Firbits' house and try to enter. Yay, more scenes. After them, you'll be allowed into the dungeon: the Rainbow Butterfly Wood. O===========================================================================O | 3- Dungeon (Until Great Fish Swamp) **DC2_443** | O===========================================================================O Frightening Forest Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 4 minutes, 45 seconds ~~ Fishing Goal : 70 cm. or more ~~ Spheda prize : Treasure Chest Key (x3) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies with just Monica's sword. Enemy Data: ~~ Himarra (x8) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Man-Eating Grass (x8) ~~ Skeleton Soldier (x8) Totals: ~~ ABS : 272 ~~ Gilda: 304 Notes: On Monica... Her controls are the same as Max's. Use L3 to switch between the two. Her long-range weapon is a magic armband; short-range is a sword. She has her own HP and Defense, and cannot directly switch to Ridepod in the field. On the new medals... The Fishing goal will become known as you learn to fish. Basically, with it, you want to catch a fish (of any species) equal to or longer than the specified length. As for the new clear goal, defeat all enemies with only Monica's sword -- nothing else. There is a scoop: Spooky Grass Smile. When the Man-Eating Grass shakes, almost like it laughs, snap a picture. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Strange Tree Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 4 minutes, 28 seconds ~~ Fishing Goal : 65 cm. or more ~~ Spheda prize : Resurrection Powder (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using only items. Enemy Data: ~~ Moler (x4) ~~ Tore (x5) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Pumpkinhead (x6) Totals: ~~ ABS : 180 ~~ Gilda: 210 Notes: There are three new scoops: in relevence to the above list, "Floatin' Earth Digger", "Tore's Nap", and "Dangerous Pumpkin". For the first, snap a picture when the Moler jumps into the air to attack you. For the second, snap a pic when the Tore is asleep, although the battle music is still going. For the third, snap a picture when the Pumpkinhead twirls its pitchfork around. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rolling Shells Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 4 minutes, 30 seconds ~~ Fishing Goal : 46 cm. or more ~~ Spheda prize : Stamina Drink (x3) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies with Monica's long-range weapon only. Enemy Data: ~~ Tortoise (x4) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Skeleton Soldier (x6) ~~ Man-Eating Grass (x6) ~~ Himarra (x6) Totals: ~~ ABS : 260 ~~ Gilda: 288 Seals: Red Seal. Notes: This floor has a Red Seal, preventing Max and Ridepod from being used. Thus, you can only use Monica. Be sure to have Erik make some Improved Bombs for when fighting those Tortoise's. FYI, all seals are permanently broken when all enemies on the floor are killed. As for the new clear goal, it means to attack and defeat all enemies with Monica's magic armband -- nothing else. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After the "Rolling Shells" floor, you'll arrive in the Great Fish Swamp. O===========================================================================O | 4- Interlude: Helping the Firbits and Georama **DC2_444** | O===========================================================================O You'll be at the Great Fish Swamp after beating "Rolling Shells". Go forward some and talk to the Firbit who's fishing. You'll get the Fishing Rod and a Mimi. To save time later on, fish some and catch a Priscleen (talk to the Firbit for more bait if needed). Once you've caught a Priscleen, continue forward more, past the swamp, to Master Utan. After the scene, snap a photo of him (it's a scoop). You'll get four Poison Apples if you had none previously. Now, go back to the swamp and put a Poison Apple on the hook. You'll soon catch a fish. During the following scene, you'll find it to be the King Mardan. Take a picture of him. Then either fish for a Priscleen in the other lake if you lack one, or give him the one I told you to fish for earlier by pressing Square. After this, you'll watch yet another cutscene. After it, exit by going to "Move" and pressing Square. After this, go back to the Firbits' place. After another cutscene, you'll be allowed to use Carpenterion and go through the Time Gates to Max's and Monica's times. In the future (Monica's time), go there for a few power-ups (three Fruit of Edens, a Potato Pie, and a Witch Parfait). Back in Max's time, use the Carpenterion to pick up the Logs, Rocks, and Grasses so they won't be in your way later. Also break them. There isn't much else for you to do. So, when you're ready, return to the Great Fish Swamp. Also, try to buy or make a Barrel Cannon -- you'll thank me later. O===========================================================================O | 5- Dungeon (until final floor) **DC2_445** | O===========================================================================O This is a Geostone? Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 5 minutes ~~ Fishing Goal : 50 cm. or more ~~ Spheda prize : Level-Up Powder (x2) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just the Ridepod. Enemy Data: ~~ Mimic (x2) ~~ Mask of Prajna (x4) ~~ Moler (x6) ~~ Pumpkinhead (x6) (Gate Key holder) Totals: ~~ ABS : 188 ~~ Gilda: 236 Geostone Contents: ~~ Wooden House ~~ Iron Chimney 1 ~~ Thorn Tree ~~ Wooden Stand ~~ River ~~ Wooden Stairs Notes: On most, if not ALL, floors after this, you will find Geostones. When you go to use Carpenterion, it will download the contents listed on it. This will let you know what must be done or let you build new things. On the map, they are marked with purple dots and are only on a floor once -- once it's gotten, it's gone. If you miss it, though, you can come back later and grab it. FYI, if you leave the dungeon beyond this point, Conda will give you some items for the Georama and be on the train so you can buy some more. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Noise in the Forest Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 4 minutes, 10 seconds ~~ Fishing Goal : 60 cm. or more ~~ Spheda prize : Stamina Drink (x2) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using only Max's gun. Enemy Data: ~~ Fire Element (x2) ~~ Sonic Bomber (x4) ~~ Tore (x5) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Himarra (x6) Totals: ~~ ABS : 240 ~~ Gilda: 276 Geostone Contents: ~~ Eye Tree 1 ~~ Eye Tree 2 ~~ Nose Tree Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm a Pixie Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 4 minutes, 16 seconds ~~ Fishing Goal : 66 cm. or more ~~ Spheda prize : Armband Repair Powder (x4) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using items only. Enemy Data: ~~ King Mimic (x1) ~~ Mimic (x2) ~~ Mask of Prajna (x4) ~~ Pixie (x6) (Gate Key holder) Totals: ~~ ABS : 132 ~~ Gilda: 200 Geostone Contents: ~~ Straw House ~~ Shed ~~ Rough Wooden Fence ~~ Bench Seals: Blue Seal. Notes: The Blue Seal on this floor means that, since Monica was chosen by the Blue Atlamillia, you can only fight with Max and the Ridepod. As usual, the seal is gone if you defeat all of the enemies on the floor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Legendary Killer Snake Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 4 minutes, 40 seconds ~~ Fishing Goal : 49 cm. or more ~~ Spheda prize : Gun Repair Powder (x4) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just the Ridepod. Enemy Data: ~~ Killer Snake (x2) ~~ Sonic Bomber (x3) ~~ Gyumo (x5) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Fire Element (x6) ~~ Ice Element (x6) Totals: ~~ ABS : 352 ~~ Gilda: 392 Geostone Contents: ~~ Pot ~~ Cart ~~ Wooden Bridge Notes: Brings back old memories, doesn't it DC1 players? On this floor, you can first get the "Gyumo's Yell" scoop. Firstly, find a Gyumo and snap a picture of it when it raises its arm and yells. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Grotesque Spider Lady Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 4 minutes, 26 seconds ~~ Fishing Goal : 50 cm. or more ~~ Spheda prize : Gift Capsule (x3) ~~ Clear Goal : Complete floor without healing. Enemy Data: ~~ King Mimic (x1) ~~ Tigriff (x1) ~~ Spider Lady (x6) ~~ Hunter Foz (x6) (Gate Key holder) Totals: ~~ ABS : 194 ~~ Gilda: 216 Geostone Contents: ~~ Pot Torch ~~ Wooden Gate ~~ Waterwheel Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rainbow Falls Entrance Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 4 minutes ~~ Fishing Goal : 68 cm. or more ~~ Spheda prize : Treasure Chest Key (x3) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies with just Monica's sword. Enemy Data: ~~ Tigriff (x2) ~~ Sonic Bomber (x3) ~~ Hunter Fox (x4) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Gyumo (x5) Totals: ~~ ABS : 236 ~~ Gilda: 272 Geostone Contents: ~~ Fruit Tree ~~ Hill Seals: White Seal Notes: This floor contains a White Seal. This one doesn't prohibit the use of someone, but it DOES prevent healing. You can't use items or support characters for health. You can use the Angel/Devil Coins, weaponry abilities, weaponry repair items, and those health springs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Exit the dungeon now after beating "Rainbow Falls Entrance". O===========================================================================O | 6- Interlude: Making the Lafrescia **DC2_446** | O===========================================================================O Firstly, we'll continue with some Georama. Return to Sindain and press Select to go to the Carpenterion, then Triangle to go to the building menu. Let the Geostones download. Return to walking mode (Select) and a scene should occur. After this, you'll need to find Gordon, Max's gardener. Go to Palm Brinks and to Max's house. You'll find Gordon looking at a tree. He'll ask for a Holy Water -- give him one (they can be bought at the church) and he'll join. Now, you can recruit most of the others in the game. The overview has a brief overview, but that's mainly for those who know who's who. I'll let you know who's who here: ~~ Adel, another servant, is in the servants' quarters of Max's house past the kitchen. Give her a Sturdy Cloth, a Thick Hide, and a Hunk of Copper. Exit and re-enter and speak with her to get her recruited and to have her give you a Green Overalls. She is used in the Sindain Georama. ~~ Aunt Polly is in her shop. Talk to her, then go to Morton's shop and speak with him. Go to Morton's, read the sign on the door, talk with Morton, then to Polly. She is used in Sindain Georama. ~~ Milane is in the Weapons Shop of Palm Brinks. Speak with her as Monica and you'll be given a Gladius that should be built up twice. Like with Gerald, you can simply show her a Chopper or Sand Breaker. She is used in the Sindain Georama, but is optional. ~~ Gerald, Max's dad, in the downstairs room to the right of the entrance of his house. He'll hand you a Trumpet Gun. To recruit him, show him a Bell Trigger, regardless of origin. ~~ Stewart, Max's butler, is in the entrance room of his house. Come with 2,000 Gilda and listen to him talk. After a bit, he'll ask for the Gilda. Give it to him, leave, and re-enter this room and speak with him. ~~ Granny Rosa is in the waterfall room of Max's house through the door to the left of the entrance. Say to her, "Let's go together." without the quotes, WITH the correct punctuation (the ' and .). ~~ Ferdinand, Max's chef, is in the kitchen, through the room past the waterfall room. You'll have to give him a Roasted Chestnut, which is found in chests in the Rainbow Butterfly Woods. ~~ Corrine is in Morton's house (the one with the pumpkin patch nearby), in the upstairs area. Find her and speak with her to play some hide-and-seek. Her first place is upstairs in Claire's house (the closest to Max's), and then in Max's room. ~~ Priest Bruno is in the Palm Brinks church. He'll ask you to put out all of the candles. Refer to the overview for the easy strategy. ~~ Fabio is at the pier near the lake. Talk to him, catch a 60 cm. or larger Nonky, keep it in your inventory, and show it to him. ~~ Sheriff Blinkhorn is in front of the police station during the day. Speak with him and run to the lake's boat, examine it, and run back. It'll be easier if Fabio is out of the way. ~~ Rufio walks around the lake during the day. Take a photo of The Moon and keep it. Then talk to Rufio. ~~ Mayor Need is in his office. He'll give you some hints to it: his daughter's birthday has a sign of a four-legged animal and her gifts are winter clothes (Sagittarius (December) works); the day is divisible by both 3 and 7 (21). Thus, the code is 1221. Now, let's do some Georama on Sindain. The item list below shows a fairly cheap and efficient way to do it for 100%: ~~ Cart (x1) ~~ Eye Tree 1 (x1) ~~ Eye Tree 2 (x1) ~~ Fruit Tree (x1) ~~ Nose Tree (x1) ~~ Pot (x1) ~~ Pot Torch (x1) ~~ River (x15) ~~ Rough Wooden Fence (x15) ~~ Straw House (x2) ~~ Thorn Tree (x7) ~~ Waterwheel (x1) ~~ Wooden House (x2) Now, place the 15 Rivers in a line. Place the Eye Tree 1 near the river and the eye facing away from the river. Place the Nose Tree and the Eye Tree 2 right beside it like this: (Eye Tree 1) (Nose Tree) (Eye Tree 2). Place the other trees in a compact area, so as keep some room. Place all of the houses down wherever and put one near the trees and put a cart near another. Move Gordon in to the tree-near house and Polly into the cart-near house, with Adel and Milane in the other two. Put the Waterwheel in the river, and place the Pot and Pot Torch near a house for multiple CP boosts. Finally, place the fence pieces around the Firbits' House. Check to see if you have 50+ CP; if not, add some more stuff. Make sure you have 100% (90% without Milane), too, and meet any other conditions. Once that Georama is done, go to the future for a cutscene. Collect the power-ups, snap some more photos, and examine the Golden Eggs for a free Gold Paint. Then return to the present and then back to the future for another cutscene. Do this AGAIN for another scene. Then buy a Himarra Badge from the Tailor Shop (and a Dark and an Indestructible Coin for Donny). Return to the present. Now, some more recruiting! ~~ Parn and Julia are in Parn's house. Give Parn the Gold Paint from the Golden Eggs for a scene and a dual recruitment. ~~ Donny is still in the Channel Entrance. Hand him the Dark Coin and the Indestructible Coin. After this, you'll need to go to the Rainbow Butterfly Woods and go to a level with Himarras (the first floor, for example). Transform into a Himarra and find another one. Speak with it for a Sundrop. Exit the floor and go to the Rainbow Falls. Use the Lafrescia Seed, then the Sundrop, on the pond. After the scene, snap a picture of the stem of the flower. You can now recruit Claire in her house; just show her this picture. Whether you do or not, save and go to the white string near the flower and examine it to fight the boss (after a scene). O===========================================================================O | 7- Chapter Boss **DC2_447** | O===========================================================================O [Some more from the previous section, for catching up.] After this, you'll need to go to the Rainbow Butterfly Woods and go to a level with Himarras (the first floor, for example). Transform into a Himarra and find another one. Speak with it for a Sundrop. Exit the floor and go to the Rainbow Falls. Use the Lafrescia Seed, then the Sundrop, on the pond. After the scene, snap a picture of the stem of the flower. You can now recruit Claire in her house; just show her this picture. Whether you do or not, save and go to the white string near the flower and examine it to fight the boss (after a scene). ======================= BOSS: Rainbow Butterfly ======================= Begin by attacking the tentacles around the center of the flower; a hit of any strength will make it go up. Make all of the tentacles go up to have the boss fly nearby and split into seven. Once the Rainbow Butterfly splits, attack any but the red butterfly by using a long-range weapon (gun, brassard, Barrel Cannon) to cause them to merge back together into the big Rainbow Butterfly. Snap a picture of it to get a scoop, "R. Butterfly United". Now, hit all of the tentacles again to split apart the boss. Then hit them into this order: RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO, VIOLET -- the colors of the rainbow. Thusly, you've won. O===========================================================================O | 8- Finishing the Chapter **DC2_448** | O===========================================================================O After defeating the Rainbow Butterfly, watch the scene. Then go back to Sindain for another scene. Visit Jurak in the future for (*gasp*) another scene. Return to the Sindain rail station and tell Cedric you're ready to leave. More scenes, and you'll be in Balance Valley Station. Exit it by going up the stairs on the other side to find a house standing there. Go inside for a scene. Return to Palm Brinks to find Dr. Dell (his office is near the lake). Talk to him (... see a glitch yet?) and return to Lin's house in Balance Valley. Enter, watch the scene, and watch Chapter 2 come to a close... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ ++ ++ Section V- Chapter 3 (The Sage of the Stars) **DC2_45** ++ ++ ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ O===========================================================================O | 1- Arriving at Balance Valley **DC2_451** | O===========================================================================O [This contains stuff from Section IV-8, because it IS in Balance Valley.] After defeating the Rainbow Butterfly, watch the scene. Then go back to Sindain for another scene. Visit Jurak in the future for (*gasp*) another scene. Return to the Sindain rail station and tell Cedric you're ready to leave. More scenes, and you'll be in Balance Valley Station. Exit it by going up the stairs on the other side to find a house standing there. Go inside for a scene. Return to Palm Brinks to find Dr. Dell (his office is near the lake). Talk to him (... see a glitch yet?) and return to Lin's house in Balance Valley. Enter, watch the scene, and watch Chapter 2 come to a close... O===========================================================================O | 2- Quick Chapter Overview **DC2_452** | O===========================================================================O PLEASE NOTE: There are two glitches in the future area of this Chapter. The first deals with the 3 Fruits of Eden awarded after beating "Earth-Shaking Demon" -- they must be collected right then, or two will be forever lost. Additionally, there is a Fruit of Eden on the far corner of the weapon shop platform: DON'T NOT GET IT UNTIL YOU PASS A CERTAIN POINT IN CHAPTER 6; THIS FRUIT OF EDEN THEREFORE IS NOT LISTED IN THE BELOW TABLE. ____________________________ | HP and Defense Power-Ups \ |_____________________________\______________________________________________ | Item Name .......

Place the Chinese Stand near a house and move in Ferdinand. Then begin to place Pot Torches, preferably near houses for bonus CP. Then place the Weather Vane and the Warehouse on the houses. Place the trees on the various platforms as needed to re-balance the valley. Once the Georama part is done with, go to the future. Collect the Fruit of Edens on the bridges between the outer platforms, and the Potato Pie and Fruit of Eden on the central platform. Once you've done the Georama, and collected all of the power-ups, you've avoided the disappearing glitch and should now proceed to the next floor of Starlight Canyon.

O===========================================================================O | 6- Interlude: Restoring Lao Chao's Bistro **DC2_456** | O===========================================================================O Once you've beaten "Smiling Fairy Village", return to Balance Valley's Georama. Build a church (and whatever else from section V-4 you forgot). Move Priest Bruno into said church and do some balancing by moving trees as needed. Then go to the future. In the future, Lao Chao's Bistro should be unlocked, as should Starlight Weapons. Be sure to grab a Witch Parfait, go around both future and past to get some pictures, and visit Lao Chao's once done, return to Starlight Canyon and take the SUN EXIT from "Elephant Army in the Valley". O===========================================================================O | 7- Dungeon (Through "Little Dragon Counterattack") **DC2_457** | O===========================================================================O Once you've visited Lao Chao's under the above situation, return to Starlight Canyon and the floor "Elephant Army in the Valley" and take the SUN EXIT. The next listed floor is the one after it, that you'll arrive at. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dangerous Treasure Chest Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 7 minutes, 35 seconds ~~ Spheda prize : Indestructible Coin (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using only Monica's sword.

Then go to Barga's Valley (the next floor). O===========================================================================O | 8- Interlude: Barga's Valley and Spheda **DC2_458** | O===========================================================================O First, beat "Little Dragon Counterattack" and return to the Georama. Build a Star Lamp and put it on the Brick House. Then go to the next floor: Barga's Valley. After a short cutscene, you'll need to find a stick (regardless of if you have a Spheda club (ie. Swan) already by inventing). There should be one near the sand pit. Equip it and return to Monica. She'll explain the basics of Spheda, as will I. ~~ There are two components to Spheda: the distortion and the sphere. They can come in two colors: red and blue. ~~ To win Spheda (and the dungeon medals), you must get the sphere into the distortion. However, the sphere and distortion must be different colors: one must be red, and the other blue. If not, the sphere will pass by the distortion. ~~ Spheres cannot be touched. Thusly, you are using clubs. Each time you hit a sphere with one, it is a SHOT. Each sphere has a limited number of shots; if you don't make it in within that many shots, you fail. ~~ To change a sphere's color from red -> blue -> red -> etc., you must hit it (rather hard) against something other than the club. This is BUMPING. A sphere will have infinite bumps. However, bumps will basically act like bouncing balls off of walls: the course will change. ~~ When you approach to shoot, you'll see a long meter at the bottom. This is your power meter. Press X to start the marker going. Press it again to stop it and fill the meter to the right of that point with orange: more orange means more power. When it approaches the orange-yellow-orange bars, try to hit the dead-center line for perfect accuracy. Once it goes into or past the orange bars, it'll go crazy. If you don't press X to stop it AT ALL, it will not even go anywhere, I think. ~~ During the time you prepare to shoot, you can move the left analog stick to affect the shot. Move it up to add topspin and distance; down to add backspin and easy stops; left to make a right hook; right to make a left slice. There can be a combination of them. ~~ If you shoot the sphere into the water or down a hole or off of the dungeon map or something, you lose a shot and start from the last shot position. ~~ If you press Square before shooting, you can move the sphere slightly. This costs one shot. However, you can do it with one shot left for free. ~~ Each club has different Spheda ability. Read the description for what it works best for. Also, each has a different-sized orange-yellow-orange bar: the Albatross, for example, has a VERY small one compared to the Handy Stick. ~~ When completing Spheda in dungeons, you'll get a chest and a medal. The chest will have a special item inside. I've listed these on each floor that allows Spheda. ~~ I've heard of a Spheda glitch. Apparently, ocassionally, you may appear to get a sphere close to a distortion with FIFTEEN shots (this is abnormal because the number of shots is rather relative to the distance). You CAN'T mess THIS up; you'd have to literally try. Okay, to remove the distortion from the condor's nest. A one-shot way to do it is to find the rock formation with the star on it and aim there. If you can't find it, just aim at about half-power between the two trees so you'll get a direct shot. If you fail, Monica can do it for you. After this, you'll get a Swan Spheda club (if you did it yourself) or a Turkey (if Monica did it). Either way, you'll also get a White Windflower. Now is a good time to go to Palm Brinks City Hall. Talk to Mena as Monica. This will let you recruit her after finishing 10-ish games of Spheda. I say now because wins prior to talking to her don't count. (So, yeah, you could actually end up not being able to recruit her. But you'd have to be a Spheda master.) So, now that you've gotten the White Windflower, go back to Balance Valley and to the future! O===========================================================================O | 9- Interlude: Saving Lin's Life **DC2_459** | O===========================================================================O After completing the Spheda at Barga's Valley and obtaining the White Windflower, go to Balance Valley and into the future. There, go to Lao Chao's Bistro and give him the flower. He'll then make the Miracle Dumplings to cure her. Return to the past and give them to Lin. She'll wake up and then join your party, thereby removing anyone else for that slot until the end of the chapter. Now that Lin's healed, Star Items will also appear in the future. Go there and buy a Starglass. Also grab some chests and items, BUT DON'T GRAB THE GLITCHED CHEST. Once you're done, return to Starlight Canyon. O===========================================================================O | 10- Dungeon (Through "Moon Baron") **DC2_4510** | O===========================================================================O Cursed Mask Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 7 minutes, 30 seconds ~~ Spheda prize : Lightning Stone (x5) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just items. Enemy Data: ~~ Thunder Gemron (x2) (Gate Key holder) ~~ King Mimic (x2) ~~ Holy Gemron (x5) ~~ Nikapous (x6) ~~ Yo-Yo Barrel Totals: ~~ ABS : 664 ~~ Gilda: 810 Geostone Contents: ~~ Iron Lamp 2 Notes: Now that you've learned Spheda, you can do Spheda on floors. Firstly, you must clear the floor of all enemies -- like with fishing -- including Mimics. Then you'll be allowed to go to the sphere and begin. If you succeed, you'll earn a medal and a prize (the latter is listed above). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We're the Roly-Poly Brothers Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 7 minutes, 50 seconds ~~ Spheda prize : Bull's-Eye Coin (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just Monster Transformations. Enemy Data: ~~ Elfas (x2) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Mimic (x4) ~~ Ivanoff (x4) ~~ Ram (x6) ~~ Priest of Rama (x6) Totals: ~~ ABS : 588 ~~ Gilda: 488 Geostone Contents: ~~ Barn ~~ Mailbox Notes: You can get two scoops here. The first is "Spinning Ivanoff", which deals with the Ivanoff. Snap a picture while it rolls to attack. The second is "Nice Massage", which deals with the Priest of Rama. At random points, the Priest of Rama will sort of put its hands behind its back for a massage or something. Snap a picture then. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dragon Slayer Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 7 minutes ~~ Spheda prize : Poison Coin (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just the Ridepod. Enemy Data: ~~ Dragon (x1) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Golem (x6) ~~ Masked Tribesman (x6) ~~ Yo-Yo Barrel (x6) Totals: ~~ ABS : 530 ~~ Gilda: 578 Geostone Contents: ~~ Laundry Notes: You can get the "Burning Dragon Fire" scoop here. Whenever a Dragon is going to blow some fire at you, snap pictures like mad and you should get it (and some damage). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yorda's Valley In Yorda's Valley, the floor after "Dragon Slayer", you will not be allowed to proceed any further if Lin is not in your party (therefore, she must have her life saved. See section V-9 for details.). Once you do save her, bring her here. Snap a picture of the Giant Yorda Tree (it's an idea) and approach it. A scene will then occur, after which you'll fight a miniboss. ============================ MINIBOSS: Phantom Memo Eater ============================ This boss is ridiculously easy. firstly, get a picture of it: it is a scoop, and a one-time only one at that. As for fighting it, Max's wrench works fine. Just get real close and wail on the beast, guarding as it shoots (the shots cause Poison and Thirst, I think). If you would prefer to stay away, Ridepod with the Barrel Cannon or a long range weapon works fine. It's easy, as I said. After the beating the boss, you'll watch another scene. Proceed to the other end of the valley and move onward! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rama Priests Like Cheese Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 7 minutes, 15 seconds ~~ Spheda prize : Level-Up Powder (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using items only. Enemy Data: ~~ Mimic (x4) ~~ Yo-Yo Barrel (x4) ~~ Wind Element (x5) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Priest of Rama (x10) Totals: ~~ ABS : 640 ~~ Gilda: 568 Geostone Contents: ~~ Block ~~ Block 2 Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nature's Threat Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 8 minutes ~~ Fishing Goal : 58 cm. or more ~~ Spheda prize : Turqoise (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies with just Max's right-hand weapon. Enemy Data: ~~ Golem (x2) ~~ Dragon (x3) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Priest of Rama (x6) ~~ Ivanoff (X6) Totals: ~~ ABS : 594 ~~ Gilda: 488 Geostone Contents: ~~ Well Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Moon Baron Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 7 minutes, 30 seconds ~~ Fishing Goal : 66 cm. or more ~~ Spheda prize : Level-Up Powder (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just the Ridepod. Enemy Data: ~~ King Mimic (x2) ~~ Holy Gemron (x2) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Crescent Baron (x6) ~~ Nikapous (x8) Totals: ~~ ABS : 596 ~~ Gilda: 752 Geostone Contents: ~~ Feeble Tree Notes: This section starts with a scene introducing the Fishing Contests, detailed in section V-11. Go to V-12 to continue further in the dungeon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ O===========================================================================O | 11- Interlude: Fishing Contests **DC2_4511** | O===========================================================================O After arriving on the floor "Moon Baron" in Starlight Canyon, the Fishing Contests will open up. They are held every ten in-game days for 72 in-game hours (3 days). When one is occuring, there is a banner in the upper-left corner of the main menu. They are held in Palm Brinks; once you're facing the police station, take the right fork. During these contests, you bring fish to be weighed. These fish must not have been fed. They can be put into the Aquarium if you have one, BUT MUST NOT HAVE BEEN FED, or bred from two others, for that matter. When you want to weigh some fish, talk to the owl near the weight scale, and then select a fish (it can't be in the Aquarium). It'll then be weighed. You can weigh up to ten fish. When you've gotten three, select to total up the weights. The results of the contest are then shown. Only the top three fish are weighed, though. Regardless, ANY fish weighed is lost to you forever. If your fished weighed enough, you'll be in the top three and win a prize. While the contest is going on, you can leave the tent to catch more fish if you wish. The main thing to mention is that you'll want a Rod with a lot of luck to win at this. More luck = bigger fish. Usually. Regardless, when you get the chance, come here to take some photos (Electric Bulletin, Fishing Contest Sign, Glowing Gate, Scale, Victory Stand). Then continue on with the dungeon, assuming you left. O===========================================================================O | 12- Dungeon (Through "Lighthouse Appears") **DC2_4512** | O===========================================================================O Lighthouse Appears Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 7 minutes, 40 seconds ~~ Fishing Goal : 72 cm. or more ~~ Spheda prize : Indestructible Coin (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just items. Enemy Data: ~~ King Mimic (x2) ~~ Ivanoff (x4) ~~ Wind Element (x4) ~~ Dragon (x5) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Crescent Baron (x6) Totals: ~~ ABS : 778 ~~ Gilda: 992 Geostone Contents: ~~ Georama requirements only Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After this floor, return to Balance Valley and collect all of the power-ups and save. Then to the lighthouse we go! O===========================================================================O | 13- Chapter Boss **DC2_4513** | O===========================================================================O Once you've beaten "Lighthouse Appears", return to Balance Valley and collect all of the power-ups. Be sure to get the Starglass from Star Items and then go to the lighthouse. At the lighthouse, after the scene, approach the lighthouse and use the Starglass. After a cutscene, the chapter boss will commence. ======================================== DUAL BOSS: Gaspard (fought with Monica) Evil Flames (fought with Max) ======================================== You'll begin by fighting Gaspard with Monica. The main trick to this is to do charged attacks. First do one on him to knock him down. Charge up for another, but don't let it loose until he tries to get back up. Repeat. Once Gaspard is down to 2/3 of his HP, you'll switch to Max. Shoot a shot of the Flying Battleship (semi-missable scoop). Then switch to the Ridepod if you've got a Barrel Cannon. If you do, just lock-on to one and fire wildly: it'll work soon. If not, use your gun if it is the best, or your wrench or hammer if that is the best. After a bit, you'll switch back to Monica. Take another third of his HP using the tactic above to switch back. A little later, you'll switch for a final duel with Gaspard. Defeat him to end it. O===========================================================================O | 14- Finishing the Chapter **DC2_4514** | O===========================================================================O After defeating Gaspard, you'll see several scenes. After them, head to the future part of Balance Balley. After THAT scene, you'll be in the past. Re-visit to gather the power-ups around the Moon Crystal, as well as a shot of the Moon Crystal -- it's a scoop! Once you're done with everything that you feel you need to do, go to the station and tell Cedric you're ready to go. You'll then arrive at the Veniccio station with ANOTHER problem. So, head to Veniccio and Chapter 4 will open... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ ++ ++ Section VI- Chapter 4 (Good-bye, Shingala) **DC2_46** ++ ++ ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ O===========================================================================O | 1- Quick Overview **DC2_461** | O===========================================================================O ____________________________ | HP and Defense Power-Ups \ |_____________________________\______________________________________________ | Item Name .......

Once you regain control, take some photos if you want and visit the cave nearby to find Shingala and Pau. A few cutscenes later, you'll be allowed to visit the Ocean's Roar Cave.

O===========================================================================O | 4- Interlude: Some Georama Stuff **DC2_464** | O===========================================================================O After "Tank and Boss", let's exit to the Georama. Download the Geostones and let's begin building. Firstly, build these: ~~ Iron House (x4) ~~ Pier (x8) ~~ Pot Torch (x1) ~~ Shop Boat (x2) Now, let's try to get something like this, preferably. This is simply how I build: build it however you wish. __ __ __ | |pI| LEGEND: | | = 1 Pier block |__|__| SS |__| | | I| SS |__|__| SS = 1 Shop Boat | | I| SS |__|__| SS | | I| SS I = 1 Iron House |__|__| #### p = 1 Pot Torch #### #### = Entrance Banner Platform #### Once you've got the design placed, paint one house red (this one is near the Pot Torch), another blue, another green, and another purple. Move Claire into the red house and Donny into the blue one. That'll be it. Go to the future and into the Iron Houses for some photos, and you'll be done for now. O===========================================================================O | 5- Dungeon (until Shingala fight) **DC2_465** | O===========================================================================O Water Monster Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 6 minutes, 40 seconds ~~ Fishing Goal : 46 cm. or more ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just Monica's magic.

Or perhaps you could invent something better. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pirates' Hideout Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 6 minutes, 15 seconds ~~ Spheda Prize : Chill Stone (x5) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just the Ridepod.

O===========================================================================O | 6- Fight Against Shingala **DC2_466** | O===========================================================================O After beating "Pirates' Hideout" and proceeding to the next floor, you'll be in the Cave of Ancient Murals. A cutscene will occur and you'll be back in Veniccio. Now, before you do anything, first invent the Aquarium. The ideas are: Window, Fountain, Wooden Box. All of these can be found in Palm Brinks. Next, you'll need to build it: get the materials from Conda. Now, you'll need to catch a fish. Doesn't matter what kind. However, after you've caught it, take out any fish you're raising, so as to avoid problems later on. Once you've got the Aquarium and a fish in it, go to the future of Veniccio and visit Lab #1 (the red one). There, a scene should occur where you end up with an Electric Worm. You are to feed to a fish -- again, get any fish you're raising OUT OF THE AQUARIUM. Once you've fed the fish, go to the present and to the Cave of Ancient Murals. ========================= MINIBOSS: Puppet Shingala ========================= Firstly, get a photo of Shingala - this is the only time to get that scoop. Then get near the electric fish and start shooting him with Max's gun. Once Shingala opens his mouth, pick up the fish (R1 + X) and throw the fish at Shingala's mouth. That'll do it. If you miss, the fish appears somewhere else. DON'T KILL SHINGALA!! After the fight, return to the future and visit Lab #2, the blue one. During the scene that occurs, you'll get the Shell Talkie. You'll need this later. Now, back to the usual grind. In other words, go back to the Cave of Ancient Murals, take a picture of the mural (it's a scoop), and continue to the next floor. O===========================================================================O | 7- Dungeon (Through "Return of the Serpent") **DC2_467** | O===========================================================================O After Shingala regains self-control, go to the future to nab a Shell Talkie. Return to the Cave of Ancient Murals, be sure to snap a picture of the mural, and continue on to the next floor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wandering Zappy Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 6 minutes, 30 seconds ~~ Spheda Prize : Level-Up Powder (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just Max's right-hand weapon.

Enemy Data: ~~ Sea Serpent (x1) ~~ Sand Moler (x4) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Mimic (x4) ~~ Sooty (x6) ~~ Goyone (x6) Totals: ~~ ABS : 1,094 ~~ Gilda: 1,198 Geostone Contents: ~~ Georama requirements only Notes: A brief cutscene will play prior to starting this level. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ O===========================================================================O | 8- Interlude: Finny Frenzies **DC2_468** | O===========================================================================O Around the time of "Return of the Serpent", the Finny Frenzies will open up. These race fish. They are held every 20 days: it is now Finny Frenzy, then Fishing Contest, Finny Frenzy, etc. When you wish to participate in one, go to the owl. Enter your fish and select whichever tank that'll boost the fish's character (for example, a fast fish may go best with "With All Your Might" or whatever that is). A fish must be in the Aquarium, and can have been fed or bred or whatever. A good fish will have stats around 20 for each for beginner class. FYI, once you've entered the tent, leaving will end the contest. There are three sets of races. However, if one of your fish wins a prize, that one can't participate until the next Finny Frenzy. Also, if you win the Beginner class race in first and speak with Olivie, you can recruit her. (This also let's in the Lure glitch...) If anything, come here to find some photo ideas. So, whether you decide to come or not, let's continue with the dungeon! O===========================================================================O | 9- Dungeon (Through "Sea of Atrocity") **DC2_469** | O===========================================================================O Cursed Sea Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 6 minutes, 15 seconds ~~ Fishing Goal : 54 cm. or more ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies with just Max's right-hand weapon.

Talk to the leader -- his coloring is unique -- and return to Veniccio. Now, some Georama. Now, make eight Luna Stone Lights and a Windmill. Place the Luna Stone Lights near houses -- between two for even MORE CP -- and place the Windmill wherever. Check your CP -- if it's below 80, add some Iron Sheds or Brick Chimneys to boost it. Once the Georama is done with for now, save the game and use the medicine you got earlier on Shingala. Then it's back to the Shigura Village. O===========================================================================O | 11- Chapter Boss **DC2_4611** | O===========================================================================O Once you've done as much as possible on the Georama, save the game. Go to Shingala and use the medicine on him. Then go to the Shigura Village. There, you'll fight this chapter's boss. =================== BOSS: Doctor Jaming =================== There are two scoops here. Take a picture of Jaming for one, and snap a picture of the Flying Battleship if you missed it last chapter. After snapping the picture(s), follow Jaming around. When the Shigura are not trying to hit you, attack the Shigura that, when it's head raises, will intercept Jaming and hurt him. Keep it up until Jaming's done for. O===========================================================================O | 12- Finishing the Chapter **DC2_4612** | O===========================================================================O After defeating Jaming, the Luna Labs should be finished 100% (if you did all of the Georama). Visit Luna Labs to get a Nova Cannon from Osmond (a powerful Ridepod weapon; only for getting 100%) and then starting power-ups and pics that you missed. Finally, enter the center lab for a looooong scene. After this, go to Cedric at the Veniccio station and tell him you're ready to go. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ ++ ++ Section VII- Chapter 5 (Conflict of the Past and Future) **DC2_47** ++ ++ ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ O===========================================================================O | 1- Quick Overview **DC2_471** | O===========================================================================O ____________________________ | HP and Defense Power-Ups \ |_____________________________\______________________________________________ | Item Name .......

You don't need him, but, for completionism's sake... Take some photos as you need to and go to the Heim Rada Georama. Now, make these things: ~~ Brick Chimney (x2) ~~ Brick/Iron House (x4) (Brick is preferred, but either works) ~~ Iron Fence (x7) ~~ Iron Gate (x1) ~~ Iron Stand (x3) ~~ Mailbox (x1) ~~ Pot (x10) ~~ Straw House (x1) ~~ Windmill (x1) Place three houses near each other so as to benefit from CP boosts. Two of the houses will get a Brick Chimney. Place the Pots wherever; preferably close to the houses for CP boosts. Put all three Iron Stands in the same spot and put the last Iron/Brick House on top of it. Place the Windmill next to the tall house. Place the Straw House wherever - later, when you come back, it'll be Cinders, a photo idea. Now, for some more stuff. Place at least seven Fences, a gate, and a mailbox near a house. This will be Gerald's; move him in. Put Cedric and Borneo in the other two ground houses and Erik in the high-up one near the Windmill - you'll need to be dropped off via Carpenterion unless you made a stairway of some form (3 more Iron Stands; 3 Iron Stairs). Once you're done with the Georama, you can go to the future and find some photos and make some inventions. When you're done, go on into the volcano: Mt. Gundor.

O===========================================================================O | 6- Interlude: Before Destroying the Fire Squall... **DC2_476** | O===========================================================================O After defeating "Pains in the Neck", let's return to the Georama. Be sure to get a picture of Cinders and a Geyser. Then place some Hardened Mud Piles over the Geysers (if you need room; it's useless if you don't) and get some Mud pics. Once you've gotten the missable pictures, make sure the Ridepod has a long-range weapon. The Nova Cannon should be what you have; if not, invent a Barrel Cannon IV or something. Go to Mount Gundor Peak and take a picture of the Fire Squall. Go up to it and place the Time Bomb. Watch the scenes and then the boss! O===========================================================================O | 7- Flying Battleship Battle! **DC2_477** | O===========================================================================O [Some stuff from Section VII-6 to catch you up.] Once you've gotten the missable pictures, make sure the Ridepod has a long-range weapon. The Nova Cannon should be what you have; if not, invent a Barrel Cannon IV or something. Go to Mount Gundor Peak and take a picture of the Fire Squall. Go up to it and place the Time Bomb. Watch the scenes and then the boss! =========================== MINIBOSS: Flying Battleship =========================== Immediately switch to the Ridepod and unleash a barrage of lasers (if you do have the Nova Cannon) upon the Flying Battleship. Just swerve left and right across the battlefield - you won't easily be hit. That's pretty much it. Also be sure to get the "Flying Battleship" scoop if you've missed it the last two times!! This is your last chance. You'll know why soon enough. O===========================================================================O | 8- Interlude: The Fire Horn **DC2_478** | O===========================================================================O After defeating the Flying Battleship, go back to the Gundorada Workshop and go to the third floor. Visit the Operations Room there. You'll get the Fire Horn from Agaris, which you'll need soon enough. (All amazing, huh?)

O===========================================================================O | 10- Chapter Boss **DC2_4710** | O===========================================================================O After "Road to the River of Flames", go to the Georama and get the Fire Horn if you have not yet done so (see section VII-8 for details). Then go to the Mount Gundor Mouth. There, take a picture of the lava road, then use the Fire Horn. Then take a picture of the fallen battleship. Prepare yourself, and head forward for a cutscene ... and a battle with Gaspard! ===================== BOSS, Part 1: Gaspard ===================== This fight is ridiculously simple. Ridepod. That robot is your easiest possible strategy. The Nova Cannon from Chapter 4 is quite sufficient, although the Samurai Arm II will work better. After defeating Gaspard, a cutscene occurs, after which you'll fight... ============================== BOSS, Part 2: Ultimate Gaspard ============================== First and foremost, snap a picture of this fire demon to get a scoop. Now, strategy. Ridepod. Yep, that again. If Ridepod isn't working, Max's wrench or gun should be sufficient. My point: he's easy. O===========================================================================O | 11- Finishing the Chapter **DC2_4711** | O===========================================================================O After defeating Gaspard, another scene will play and you'll return to Heim Rada. There, head to the future and snap a pic of Paznos (another scoop). Go to the Operations Room on the third floor for some more scenes, as well as Monica's Holy Daedalus Blade. After those scenes, go to a teleporter and select to go to the Paznos Bridge and take a picture of the Paznos Pattern above the front window. Talk to Agaris for some more cutscenes. After that, you'll need to go to the central lab of Luna Lab (Chapter 4 or Veniccio's future, remember) to start some more scenes, thereby ending Chapter 5. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ ++ ++ Section VIII- Chapter 6 (When Two Eras Collide) **DC2_48** ++ ++ ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ O===========================================================================O | 1- Quick Overview **DC2_481** | O===========================================================================O ____________________________ | HP and Defense Power-Ups \ |_____________________________\______________________________________________ | Item Name .......

Snap some some photos (ie. the Ixion because of the scoop) and go on to the palace itself. Take a picture of the doors to get a scoop. Inside, you'll watch some scenes and fight Emperor Griffon!! ===================== BOSS: Emperor Griffon ===================== Take a picture of him (one-time scoop) and start to fight. He generally likes to go everywhere and fire roses at you. Thusly, it is preferred you use a ranged weapon, like a gun or Nova Cannon. Basically, it's just dodge and fire, dodge and fire. The fight will be delayed halfway through for a cutscene. Nothing changes about the battle continuing afterwards, though. After the fight, you'll see more scenes. Exit and re-enter the palace for -- surprise! -- more cutscene. We'll continue this in section VIII-3. O===========================================================================O | 3- Kazarov Stonehenge **DC2_483** | O===========================================================================O After the scenes, you'll find your at Kazarov Stonehenge. Proceed forward and snap a picture of the central structure and the four surrounding it. Now, do you remember those forks in the dungeon paths from Rainbow Butterfly Wood, Starlight Canyon, Ocean's Roar Cave, and Mount Gundor? Remember how some had a blocked exit that prevented you from going in that specific direction. They were blocked because you'll need the Star Key to open them. At the end of each path is a gem (Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind), as well as a boss guarding it. Now, you'll need to go down these Star Paths and grab those gems. You can do it in any order; I suggest going in the original order as listed above. Let's go! O===========================================================================O | 4- Rainbow Butterfly Wood Star Path **DC2_484** | O===========================================================================O To reach this Star Path, you'll need to re-do the floor "Legendary Killer Snake". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Looking for the Earth Gem Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 4 minutes, 20 seconds ~~ Fishing Goal : 54 cm. or more ~~ Spheda Prize : Gift Capsule (x3) ~~ Clear Goal : Complete floor without healing. Enemy Data: ~~ Mimic (x2) ~~ Cursed Rose (x6) ~~ Spirit Flyer (x6) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Zucky (x6) Totals: ~~ ABS : 2,336 ~~ Gilda: 2,164 Geostone Contents: ~~ Chimney Pot Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Something Rare Here! Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 4 minutes, 40 seconds ~~ Spheda Prize : Ama no Murakumo (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies with just Max's right-hand weapon. Enemy Data: ~~ Mad Tore (x4) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Sylph (x6) ~~ Zucky (x6) Totals: ~~ ABS : 1,976 ~~ Gilda: 1,884 Geostone Contents: ~~ No Geostone. Seals: Blue Seal Notes: That IS rare. *points at Spheda prize* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scary Tree Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 4 minutes ~~ Fishing Goal : 66 cm. or more ~~ Spheda Prize : Final Bomb (x3) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies with only Monster Transformations. Enemy Data: ~~ King Mimic (x1) ~~ Mimic (x4) ~~ Mad Tore (x6) (Gate Key holder) Totals: ~~ ABS : 1,506 ~~ Gilda: 1,088 Geostone Contents: ~~ Leafy Tree Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After defeating "Scary Tree", you'll find the Earth Gem Altar ... and a boss. ============= BOSS: Trentos ============= This is basically a slightly-more powerful Tore. He therefore fights like one, and is resistant and weak in similar manners. The Ridepod is sufficient. After the battle, snap a pic of the Altar and nab the gem. O===========================================================================O | 5- Starlight Canyon Star Path **DC2_485** | O===========================================================================O To reach this Star Path, you'll have to re-do the floor "Cursed Mask". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Looking for the Wind Gem Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 8 minutes, 5 seconds ~~ Spheda Prize : Opal (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using Monica's magic only. Enemy Data: ~~ Heat Fairy (x4) ~~ Thunder Spirit (x4) ~~ Water Spirit (x4) ~~ Balalla (x12) (Gate Key holder) Totals: ~~ ABS : 2,816 ~~ Gilda: 2,784 Geostone Contents: ~~ No Geostone. Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Evil Spirit in the Valley Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 8 minutes, 15 seconds ~~ Spheda Prize : Level-Up Powder (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies with just items. Enemy Data: ~~ Mimic (x4) ~~ Balalla (x6) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Iron Mask (x6) ~~ Mummy (x6) Totals: ~~ ABS : 2,752 ~~ Gilda: 2,414 Geostone Contents: ~~ Barrel Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brave Warriors in the Valley Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 6 minutes, 50 seconds ~~ Spheda Prize : Resurrection Powder (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using only Max's gun. Enemy Data: ~~ King Mimic (x2) ~~ Blumo (x2) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Iron Mask (x6) ~~ Sleeber (x6) Totals: ~~ ABS : 2,972 ~~ Gilda: 2,184 Geostone Contents: ~~ Hay and Hoe Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After finishing "Brave Warriors in the Valley", you'll find the Wind Gem and the altar it rests on ... and a boss, of course! ================== BOSS: Lapis Garter ================== This boss is a more powerful Yo-Yo Barrel. Thusly, it has similar weaknesses and tactics. The Ridepod, of course, works fastest. Your choice, though. After this battle, take a picture of the Wind Gem Altar and nab said gem. O===========================================================================O | 6- Ocean's Roar Cave Star Path **DC2_486** | O===========================================================================O To reach THIS Star Path, you'll need to re-do the floor "Wandering Zappy". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Looking for the Water Gem Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 6 minutes, 40 seconds ~~ Spheda Prize : Resurrection Powder (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just items. Enemy Data: ~~ Mimic (x2) ~~ Arkerath (x4) ~~ Blackbeard (x4) ~~ Star Tortoise (x4) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Zombie Pirate (x4) Totals: ~~ ABS : 2,084 ~~ Gilda: 1,936 Geostone Contents: ~~ No Geostone. Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pirates' Revenge Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 5 minutes, 55 seconds ~~ Spheda Prize : Treasure Chest Key (x5) ~~ Clear Goal : Complete floor without healing. Enemy Data: ~~ Blackbeard (x6) ~~ Coral Dog (x6) ~~ Fat Naga (x6) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Pirate Eye (x6) Totals: ~~ ABS : 3,132 ~~ Gilda: 3,012 Geostone Contents: ~~ No Geostone. Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Death Ocean Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 6 minutes, 14 seconds ~~ Spheda Prize : Level-Up Powder (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just Monica's sword. Enemy Data: ~~ King Mimic (x5) ~~ Arkerath (x4) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Fat Naga (x4) ~~ Metal Bomber (x4) ~~ Pirate Eye (x4) Totals: ~~ ABS : 2,528 ~~ Gilda: 1,956 Geostone Contents: ~~ No Geostone. Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After finishing "Death Ocean", you'll find yourself looking at the Water Gem altar and another boss. ================ BOSS: Sea Dragon ================ The Sea Dragon is a stronger version of the Killer Snake or Sea Serpent. As such, you'll find it acts similarly and has similar weaknesses. Of course, my strategy is to use Ridepod. Of all Chapter 6, this is probably where I most strongly recommend it. After this boss, snap a photo of the Water Gem Altar. Also grab the gem. O===========================================================================O | 7- Mount Gundor Star Path **DC2_487** | O===========================================================================O To get to this Star Path, you will need to re-do the floor "Steam Goyone". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Looking for the Fire Gem Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 6 minutes, 50 seconds ~~ Spheda Prize : Level-Up Powder (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies with just Monster Transformations. Enemy Data: ~~ Mimic (x1) ~~ Rolling Rocks (x2) ~~ Heat Wear (x6) ~~ Living Armor (x6) ~~ Red Fox (x6) (Gate Key holder) Totals: ~~ ABS : 2,450 ~~ Gilda: 2,390 Geostone Contents: ~~ No Geostone. Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Explosive Hot Spring Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 7 minutes, 5 seconds ~~ Spheda Prize : Mighty Healing (x2) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just the Ridepod. Enemy Data: ~~ Fire Spirit (x4) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Flaming Nail (x4) ~~ Ice Spirit (x4) ~~ Mimic (x4) ~~ Triple Cracker (x4) Totals: ~~ ABS : 2,480 ~~ Gilda: 2,172 Geostone Contents: ~~ No Geostone. Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Crazy Mountain Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 6 minutes, 55 seconds ~~ Spheda Prize : Wealth Coin (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just items. Enemy Data: ~~ King Mimic (x2) ~~ Arthur (x4) ~~ Heat Wear (x4) ~~ Rolling Rocks (x4) ~~ Flaming Nail (x8) (Gate Key holder) Totals: ~~ ABS : 3,112 ~~ Gilda: 2,448 Geostone Contents: ~~ No Geostone. Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After finishing "Crazy Mountain", you'll find yourself in the fiery room of the Fire Gem and the altar it rests upon ... as well as its guardian and your next boss! ============= BOSS: Inferno ============= The Inferno is your basic souped-up Flaming Nail. Same tactics and weaknesses. By now, it should be apparent that Ridepod will finish this the fastest. After finishing off Inferno, snap a picture of the Fire Gem's Altar and grab the gem itself. O===========================================================================O | 8- Finishing the Chapter **DC2_488** | O===========================================================================O Once you have the Earth Gem, the Wind Gem, the Water Gem, and the Fire Gem, head back to Kazarov Stonehenge and place them into their respective altars. After the ensuing cutscene, return to the Ixion. Snap a picture of the Paznos (it is a scoop - "Gigantor Paznos") in the air. Talk to Osmond once you wish to start Chapter 7. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ ++ ++ Section IX- Chapter 7 (Palace of Flowers) **DC2_49** ++ ++ ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ O===========================================================================O | 1- Quick Overview **DC2_491** | O===========================================================================O ____________________________ | HP and Defense Power-Ups \ |_____________________________\______________________________________________ | Item Name .......

Once you've regained control, go to the Carpenterion and build a Relaxation Fountain. Place if you wish - it'll need to be in the center, roughly, on that dirt patch. Take a picture of it (an idea) and head into the palace. Another cutscene, and then the final adventure begins.

It has been quite a long haul, but this is nearing the end. Take some photos, leave and refill your stocks, collect some power-ups, and save. When you're ready, approach the door and tell it the real, true name of Griffon (Sirus, if you've already forgotten). When you're sure you're ready, the final boss shall commence (for some...). After the scene, you shall fight! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FINAL BOSS, Part 1: Emperor Griffon >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This form is quite tricky to deal with, mainly because he just loves to chain attack you. It is preferred you use a long-range weapon (eg. Supernova; Five-Star Armlet) and guard as needed, or Ridepod with the Jet Hover and Nova Cannon III should be fine offensive strategies. Guarding is your main defense without Ridepod; with Ridepod, it'll be swift swerves, like with the Flying Battleship from Chapter 5. After a bit, you'll see another cutscene and you'll fight Griffon again. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FINAL BOSS, Part 2: Emperor Griffon >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> In this second form, Griffin becomes more aggressive, but predictable, on a huge scale. If Ridepod has the Samurai Arm III (or IV, if you imported some photos), this will be the time for that -- you know, high power and can guard? If it lacks this, your stronger of the other two will work fine. Simply attack when he isn't moving. He actually will broadcasts his next move so blatantly that it's almost impossible to get hit without trying. Another cutscene, more violence. Yay! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FINAL BOSS, Part 3: Emperor Griffon >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Now Griffon can put you in the Stop status -- obviously annoying. It is preferred to resort to you first-form strategy (Ridepod with Nova Cannon III or powerful gun/armband). Be ready to guard and use Heart-Throb Cherries or Mighty Healings at any second. Keep up the dodging and shooting, and your opponent will fall eventually. After defeating him, another cutscene occurs, where you'll be sent to the Spiral of Dreams (BTW, that is also the name of the song). As you go on up, you'll fight some pseudo-bosses -- they're nothing more than souped-up, palette-swapped enemies you've seen before. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FINAL BOSS, Part 4: Mammo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sort of your basic elephant, but differently colored. Typically, Ridepod is the fastest, right? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FINAL BOSS, Part 5: Nightmare >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Remember those fat anteater things, like the Burger? Yeah, that. Again, Ridepod is fastest, unless he is EXTRAORDINARILY weak. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FINAL BOSS, Part 6: Black Dragon >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Like those Dragon enemies you've been seeing around (ie. Earth Dragon). You know what I'm going to say, but I'll say it anyhow -- Ridepod. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FINAL BOSS, Part 7: Gaja Ein and Gaja Zwei >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You ever have to fight two Bone Lords or Flaming Nails at once? If you haven't, you've got a souped-up version right here. They are a bit tougher because of the double-teaming, but you'll be fine if you can lure on into a corner. After these pseudo-bosses, you'll find yourself at the apex of the Dream Spiral. Heal yourself fully and continue forward. After a scene, you'll fight your true enemy! ________________________________ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FINAL BOSS, Part 8: Dark Element >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> �������������������������������� Dang, Level 5 put more enemies into a final boss than Square Enix did with Kingdom Hearts II -- and they're famous for that! Anywho, upon starting, immediately snap a pic of the red moon (scoop: "Legend of the Moon"). You'll notice you have ten minutes to do this, and ten only -- after that, you're screwed. So, the Dark Element can attack in three ways. ONE: a basic three-hit combo; guard against it or run. TWO: He can back up and use his power attack. Either guard or time a charge attack to get unaffected. THREE: A rare lightning may come down to petrify you -- I didn't even find this until my fourth playthrough in this game! There's another catch to this boss: only Monica or Max can attack him at certain times. Whenever he's purplish-red, only Monica will do damage. When he is blue, only Max will do damage. Regardless, if you've favored one of the two, you almost stand more of a chance than with both that way (unless you've been abusing glitches). Your basic offensive strategy is to attack close-range when near him, long-range when far away, and never while he attacks. Once you've beaten the Dark Element, sit back and enjoy watching the credits roll -- yes, you've beaten Dark Cloud 2 ... or have you? You can save a file for playing the next optional chapter, Chapter 8, on. Your choice. Chapter 8 is covered below. Also, I believe you've unlocked a Spheda mode in the Extras. Use it to practice up! Also-also, if you play another playthrough, you can select Monica's outfit. Not that important, but might save you that critical couple-hundred Gilda later. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ ++ ++ Section X- Chapter 8 (The Forgotten Adventure) **DC2_410** ++ ++ ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ O===========================================================================O | 1- Quick Overview **DC2_4101** | O===========================================================================O ____________________________ | HP and Defense Power-Ups \ |_____________________________\______________________________________________ | Item Name .......

There are few changes to Chapter 8: ~~ Monica will temporarily not be with you. TEMPORARILY - don't sell her stuff that you'll use. ~~ Morton will sell Ability Coins and Gemstones (ie. Diamond!). ~~ Rufio will sell ALL kinds of elemental crystals, not just the basic ones. ~~ You no longer can go to the future areas via Ixion or Time Gates. ~~ You can still mess around with the Georama, though. ~~ You no longer can utilize the Ixion -- your train is now the Blackstone One. ~~ You no longer can go to Kazarov Stonehenge or the Moon Flower Palace. ~~ You no longer can get photos -- ideas or scoops -- related to the Ixion, the future areas, Kazarov Stonehenge, Moon Flower Palace, or the Dream Spiral. ~~ You no longer can get any items from those chests in the future. So, if you forgot one, you're screwed. ~~ You can now get power-ups from the Spheda games, but only in the Zelmite Mine. ~~ You have a new dungeon - the Zelmite Mine. :) ~~ For once, you're in a Chapter where you have no obligation to do Georama. (Unless you count what conditions I told you prior to Chapter 6.) Okay, got it? Also, this chapter is mostly dungeon, almost a third of which are optional. I'll tell you ahead of time that the only Dead End you need to go to is the third one. Be sure to take a break every now and then, of course.

O===========================================================================O | 8- Dead End #2 and a Boss **DC2_4108** | O===========================================================================O After finishing "Hell, Ward 1", head on to the next floor to find Dead End #2. ===================== BOSS: Red Jacket (x8) ===================== This is fairly hard, mainly because the way the lock-on system loves messing with you. I guess you could just lock-on to one, swerve around to it, and then fight. Then again, Ridepod with the Samurai Arm IV (if you skipped to another path or something) or another powerful weapon could do it. Of course, charge attacks are always decent because of the knock-down thing. For winning, you'll get an Absorption Coin and a Moon Stone. Yay!! Now, return to the previous intersection and take the unused pathway. O===========================================================================O | 9- Dungeon (Through "Indecision") **DC2_4109** | O===========================================================================O After finishing off the second Dead End, return to the previous intersection and take the unused exit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Road to Truth Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 10 minutes, 30 seconds ~~ Spheda Prize : Witch Parfait (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just items. Enemy Data: ~~ Death Mouse (x6) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Duke Balloon (x6) ~~ Putos (x6) ~~ Scarecrow (x6) Totals: ~~ ABS : 7,200 ~~ Gilda: 2,472 Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Crossroads Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 10 minutes, 50 seconds ~~ Spheda Prize : Moon Stone (x1) (!!) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just Max's right-hand weapon.

O===========================================================================O | 10- Dead End #3 and a Boss **DC2_41010** | O===========================================================================O After finishing "Indecision", head into the required Dead End #3 to fight the Sphinxes. ===================== MINIBOSS: Sphinx (x2) ===================== These are quite like the Leogriffs you fought in Chapter 7 - except they're stronger, of course! If you usually used Max/Monica to fight them, you may want to pick one off at long range or with the Ridepod before doing so - that second one will really mess with you. For winning, you'll get an Experience Coin, a Poison Coin, and a Dynamite. That last one is required to get to the boss here. Anywho, continue back to the last intersection and take the other exit. O===========================================================================O | 11- Dungeon (Through "Mummy Heaven") **DC2_41011** | O===========================================================================O After finishing off the third Dead End, return to the previous intersection and take the unused exit there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Little Dragon Army Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 11 minutes, 40 seconds ~~ Spheda Prize : Level-Up Powder (x2) ~~ Clear Goal : Complete floor without healing. Enemy Data: ~~ Fire Wyrm (x4) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Holy Wyrm (x4) ~~ Ice Wyrm (x4) ~~ Thunder Wyrm (x4) ~~ Wind Wyrm (x4) Totals: ~~ ABS : 6,720 ~~ Gilda: 2,200 Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Suspicious Opening <-- floor title After "Little Dragon Army", you'll find the next room to be a suspicious opening. Inside, you'll fight Flotsam (again!?) after a scene. =================== BOSS: Metal Flotsam =================== Take picture of him -- this is the last key in making the Samurai Arm IV, the ultimate weapon among all, with 1400 ATTACK! Okay, let's move on. He is pretty erratic, but your strategy need not be so. Basically shoot from a distance with something (eg. Supernova; Nova Cannon III) and guard as necessary. Little else to say, I guess. After the battle, a scene plays out and then we can continue into the mine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Captain Returns Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 12 minutes ~~ Spheda Prize : Fruit of Eden (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just Monica's magic. Enemy Data: ~~ Great Tree (x2) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Oyakata (x4) ~~ Elite Corsair (x8) Totals: ~~ ABS : 4,440 ~~ Gilda: 1,584 Notes: Oh, you're going to LOVE this floor. All chests -- excepting those with dungeon-related items and the Spheda chest -- will contain coins! Not Gilda coins, but literal Ability Coins!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hell's Turning Point Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 11 minutes, 55 seconds ~~ Spheda Prize : Level-Up Powder (x2) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just the Ridepod. Enemy Data: ~~ Ladha (x2) (Gate Key holder) ~~ Bandou (x6) ~~ Moonlight Hulk (x6) ~~ Titan (x6) Totals: ~~ ABS : 7,200 ~~ Gilda: 2,220 Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mummy Heaven Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 12 minutes, 40 seconds ~~ Spheda Prize : Stamina Drink (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just items. Enemy Data: ~~ Dark Keeper (x2) ~~ Fire Wyrm (x2) ~~ Holy Wyrm (x2) ~~ Revenant (x16) (Gate Key holder) Totals: ~~ ABS : 8,520 ~~ Gilda: 2,062 Notes: None. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After "Mummy Heaven", head into the final Dead End (#4). O===========================================================================O | 12- Dead End #4 and a Boss **DC2_41012** | O===========================================================================O After finishing "Mummy Heaven", head on into the next floor, Dead End #4, the last of them. ======================= MINIBOSS: Mandrake (x8) ======================= These are basically palette-swapped souped-up Himarras or Balallas. They, of course, will enjoy to gang up on you. So, your best bets are the Samurai Arm or Nova Cannon IV, Supernova (Max), Five-Star Armlet (Monica), or charged attacks from the LEGEND (Max) or Island King (Monica). Yeah... I named their ultimate weapons. Maybe you don't need THAT much power, but it'll help. My main point is to shoot from a distance or use charge attacks. For winning, you'll get two chests, each with a Diamond inside. Now, to the rest of the dungeon! O===========================================================================O | 13- Dungeon (the rest of it) **DC2_41013** | O===========================================================================O After finishing off the last of the Dead Ends, let's document the rest of the dungeon, shall we? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ward 3 Entrance Medal Data: ~~ Time Attack Goal: Defeat all monsters within 12 minutes, 30 seconds ~~ Spheda Prize : Garnet (x1) ~~ Clear Goal : Defeat all enemies using just items.

Enemy Data: ~~ King Mimic (x2) ~~ Spinning Saucer (x4) ~~ Bone King (x6) ~~ Flying Steel (x6) ~~ Tiamt (x6) (Gate Key holder) Totals: ~~ ABS : 14,400 ~~ Gilda: 2,504 Notes: This floor is the last floor of the Zelmite Mine (excepting the next one) and yields the most ABS of any floor of the game. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To go for the final boss, head to the Zelmite Mine Depths, the floor right after "Seeping Light". O===========================================================================O | 14- The REAL Final Boss: The Dark Genie **DC2_41014** | O===========================================================================O Okay, this is it. Once you've beaten the floor "Seeping Light", you are free to fight your final boss and end the game. However, this is how it is: if you win here, that'll be it. There is no continual after-play like with Paper Mario or Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. If you want to try to 100% the rest of the game, you'll want to save before entering the boss. Good luck. Go to the Zelmite Mine Depths and walk up to the pile of rubble. Press Square and use the Dynamite. Go through the opening ... and you'll fight your next -- and last -- boss. __________________________ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FINAL BOSS: The Dark Genie >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> �������������������������� What the ****?! Didn't we kill him already?! (This is a reference to the first Dark Cloud. Feeling that nostalgia yet?) You can snap a couple of photos here -- one of the Dark Genie and one of the Zelmite. It won't matter though unless you put them in the Photo Album. This fight is quite like the Dark Element fight -- the Dark Genie can change who can hurt him. Purplish-red means only Monica can hurt him; blue means only Max can. Unlike the first Dark Cloud, where he had that ultimate beam thingie, it CAN be blocked here and it is used very rarely. The main strategy here is to avoid the mini Dark Genies and fire your long-range (Max = Supernova; Monica = Five-Star Armlet; Ridepod = Nova Cannon IV) weapon. That's the basic idea. Now, don't be afraid to heal. This will be the last fight you can do and there is no continuation afterwards. Thusly, these items may as well go to some use: use and abuse them. Eventually, you will defeated the Dark Genie. Congratulations -- YOU HAVE BEATEN THE STORYLINE OF DARK CLOUD 2 IN ITS ENTIRETY!! However, one thing is left: 100%-ing it. Yeah, reload your old file and get everything! 5.
