Also,i would alo like to know why Kojiro wanted to have duel with Musashi and where did both heros came from?

Reviews
I think square has created a worthy action-RPG to applease all zelda fans ,
especially to those who don't own N64.After numerous top-selling quality
RPG games like Xenogears,Final fantasy7,saga frontier,final fantasy tactics,
square has created a new awesome action-RPG game,Brave Fencer.In fact,square
is the king of RPG developer and has dominated all the RPGs industry.It's
has proven that they can do RPGs very well and now their recent Non-RPG,
Tobal no2 and Bushido blade2 are really impressive.The storyline is
beautifully written,revolving a young hero,Musashi and the Allucaneet
Kingdom,call upon to collect the five scrolls and save the princess and
the kingdom.The graphics are really awesome,with an ever-changing polygonal
enviroment even though they are not as glorious as zelda.The enviroment
changes to morning,afternoon,evening and night as time passes.However,there
is one problem with the polygonal graphics.There are too many polygonal
pop-up and tearing,which could sometimes be annoying.Still,the voice actors
has done very done.Remember,zelda doesn't have voice actor.Some of the
dialogues are really humorous and they sure have done very well.The music
are really good,even though there wasn't as many,compared to Xenogears and
Final fantasy 7.Here comes the gameplay.The gameplay is a lot different
from zelda and square doesn't want to copied the direct gameplay from
zelda(remember,alundra).Square has introduced several gameplay that
probably zelda should take note.The Fusion steal-enemy technique,the
action figures collection,saving people,riding a raft,being chased down
by a huge head are all welcomed additions that adds to the gameplay.Also,
square has tried several ways to make the game fights a bit different from
zelda by adding a bar gauge,when filled and unleash super powers.Along
the way,you collect the legendary armor to learn new abilities,learn
different techniques, collect five different legendary scrolls that gives
you a special attack of that element and defeating the crest guardians.
Also,after you have completed the game,you can save again to do all those
unfinished business such as collecting action figues and rescue people
which you have not saved.There are many explorations and a lot of hidden
paths but the most disapppointing is there isn't much exploration in
villages and there is the only one village here. Perhaps square should
take note of that.The camera angle wasn't as keen as i would have expected
and not as good as xenogears. While some camera angle has been quite well
done, except in some area like the village,the camera angle really sucks
but not that bad at all.Also,another good point is that this game has little or no loading.Unlike zelda,these game requires a lot of jumping,
especially when you got double jumps and it begins to get harder from
chapter 3 onwards.From one look,the gap there,seems impossible to jump
over but it can be done.Just be patient.Some also requires you to jump
diagonally across,jumps on rotating drums,poles and more.And if you don't
master double jumps,there is no other alternative ways.This game tends to focus its gameplay more on action and exploration.
Graphics:7.5
Music:7.7
Sound:8.0
Gameplay:8.5
Replay value:8.0
Innovation:10.0
Overall:8.0/10
Difficulty:medium(requires a lot of practise.)
Learning curve:10min to 1hr
I'll give it 9.3 if the graphics are as glorious as the one in zelda.There are too many polygon pop-up but still gameplay doesn't suffer too much because of that.And if it has those larger maps,more villages with exploration from town to town,it will probably get 10/10 like zelda.

The story of Wu Cang
You might have noticed three chinese characters at the title screen.Some might know how to read whereas most might not.It is called "Wu Cang zhuang"
(not sure the correct spelling.)In the past, Wu Cang is the title given to japanese legendary two-sworded warrior and is known to have great skills in the ability to use two-sword.This is also part of japanese swordsman martial arts.I onced read a comics about Wu cang.Most legends about Wu cang is that he is over 300 years old.He has fought over countless warriors who has been admiring his strength to come to have a duel with him.And the fact is that not many warriors is able to handle two swords as swiftly and fast when using only sword.Of course,this is just a legend.And don't ask me about Wu cang.That's what i read from some comics.Enough of this.
____________________________________________________________________________
The legendary story of Brave Fencer Musashi
Many hundreds of years ago,Brave Fencer Musashi was called upon to stop the evil wizard of darkness from doing destruction to the world.With the sword of Luminescence,Brave Fencer Musashi seals the Dark lumina,the wizard of darkness inside the sword and divided its power into five legendary scrolls.It's sais that once the five scrolls are absorbed by lumina once again,the spell that seal the wizard of darkness will be released once again.In order to stop the wizard of darkness from doing any harm to the world,Brave Fencer called upon the five crest guardians to protect the five scrolls.The legendary Brave Fencer Musashi once again returned to his own world.As years passed,people has forgotten about the wizard of Darkness.then once again,the Thirstquecher Empire has been continuing to expand its territories and has began to threaten the Allucaneet Kingdom.Now,the princess of allucaneet kingdom possess the power to summon a hero and summon the legendary Brave Fencer Musashi once again.However,this Brave Fencer Musashi was a kid and has no idea about the battle with the wizard of darkness.With the sword of fusion to assimilate ability,Musashi went to the spiraling tower to obtain the sword of Lumina and went on his journey to collect the five scrolls and rescue the princess,not knowing anything about the battle before.And now the journey continues...

Awards
These awards are based on my opinion towards the game.These awards are not based on any publication or anything.
While it may not have the best graphics action-RPG,it certainly has some other great fighting elements that can easily rival zelda.
Good awards
-The First action-RPG character,Musashi holding two swords like the japanese samurai
-The first action-RPG with 24-hour clock
-The ability to assimilate enemies' abilities
-great storyline
-the first real action-RPG with real voice overs during key scenes.
-Most innovative boss:when fighting Topo.it's like Parappa meets Musashi.
-Most innovative missions:Rescuing 35 palace members and finding 13 minkus.
-most strangest boss fight:Tower of Death
-Best feature:Action Figures
-2nd runner up feature:sleep,eat,swing,climb
-3rd Runner up feature:Bread and milk will spoilt after 5 days.
Bad Awards
-Not having the best graphics action-RPG and has too many polygon pop-up.
-Not many good music,except the ending one.(not that bad after all)
-unable to rotate camera angles when exploring during adventure;camera is fixed.
-only one village.
Others:
-the game that has so many jumps and swings
-too many chasing like being chased down from the statue head;chased by dark
Lumina etc.Could it be a good or bad thing?
-Best character of all in the game:kojiro
Musashi gonna hate me for saying that.I like both characters,Kojiro and
Musashi.Musashi seems more of a kid to me and his hair really looks...I
prefer Kojiro slighier a little bit more.He looks more mature and serious
than Musashi,plus his red color hair really look more nicer than
Musashi.And i bet if he's carrying a lumina sword and fusion sword,he would
seem more of like a warrior than Musashi.i don't know,you think?
-Worst character of all in the game:Rootrick
Actually,i'll gonna choose Fuhrer flatski or Ben but i think i choose
Rootrick.Why!He's stupid,and always never gets things correctly,even lose
to a kid in the climbing competition and Musashi has to throw a huge big
stone on him.
-Most Brat kid of all:Princess Fillet
it only comes to either Tim or Fillet.I choose Fillet in the end because
she is sort of troublesome,rude.At least,Tim is still a kid.

enemies's abilities.
Lumina:A powerful,yet heavy sword than fusion.You can attack scrolls to the
sword to gain new abilities.It is the only sword that can break bincho field.
____________________________________________________________________________
Fusion
'Fusion' is a special 'steal' technique used by Mushashi.In this game, you
need to learn to steal enemy's techniques in order to advance so try to
absorb enemy skills when you are stuck during the game.Also, there is a lot
of hidden path which requires you to learn enemy skills.Some skills like
hop are immediately executed when you absorb but these skills are only
temporary whereas some skills like gunshots are permanently and can be used
by pressing circle. Of course ,BP will be consumed.There will be a bar on
the left side and a word 'Fusion' on the right side. First, look in the
direction of your enemy, hold R1 and the gauge on the left side bar will
rise up. Once it's full, press square and a green beam will shoot up. If
this green beam hits the enemy, repeatedly press the square button. You
will noticed that the left bar will be emptied again but will rise up as
you pressed square. When it's full, you will learn the skill.For example,
if you still gunshot,the word 'fusion' will disappear and change into
gunshot,indicating you have successfully learned. However, note that you
are only allowed to have one enemy skill each time.For example, if you
already have learned gunshot,you steal 'hop',your previous skill,gunshot will be lost. Stealing your enemy skill will instantly killed your enemy and caused them to disappear but they does not left behind items like money,BP,HP. Note that you can't steal techniques from bosses.
For more info ,pls read the assimilated abilities
____________________________________________________________________________
Real-time
On your right side,you will see the no of days,time.Your enviroment will change as time goes on.it's mid-night,the sky will grow darker. Sometimes you will need to go inside the shop to buy things.The shop will not opened until it reaches a certain period of time.For example,shops like bakery shop,prawn shop will close when it is at night,except the inn.Thus,you may have to sleep and wait.It incorporates a real-time clock within the game.This clock runs 24 hours a day,seven days a week.The calender days in the game are determined in this order: Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday, skyday,saturday,sunday.
____________________________________________________________________________
Sleep
To sleep,press select.If done correctly,the left hand side picture
should change to a 'moon'.Then hold R1 and release it when it's full.
Mushashi will lie on the ground and the bottom middle will shows your
tiredness.For example,100% tiredness shows that you are very tired.During
quest,it's best to have around 20% to 40%,if not you might fall asleep
sometime.To wake up,press X.When you sleep,time will continue to past
and your BP will decrease and HP will rise.You can also use an H-mint or mint item to cure tiredness.When Musashi's tired percentage is over 50%,the small,circular portrait window in the right-hand side of the screen will begin to close.When it's completely close,Musashi is 100% tired.

Movement

very tired or poisoned,or zero BP,he will not be able to run fast
as usual.

leave your memory here.If you leave your memory here,you can continue
from here when you die,however you will lose 50% of your money.

very important.The best recovery item of all is the cheese.It costs
around 300 and is much more cheaper than S-revive.You will need to
keep the cheese as long as possible.It recovers both HP and BP.The
longer you kept the cheese before using,the more you will recover.
Sometimes,it will recover all.Defeating an enemy will also give you
items.Some gives you money and some recovers HP or BP.

____________________________________________________________________________
Bincho field
It's actually called Bincho Field.There are a total of 35 people to rescue.Some are found in hidden paths and cannot be located easily.Some will even teach your techniques in return.In the game,you will see a 'glowing green crystal'.Hit triangle using the lumina sword and after a short conversation, they should teleport back to the castle.You can also visit them at the castle.Also, everytime,you rescue from someone in the Bincho field,your max BP will gain 5 more and completely restored.So it's best to use up nearly all your BP and hit the crystal to regain all your BP rather than just a few.It's a good bargain.
____________________________________________________________________________
The village.
Here is a list of what you can find in the village.I have also listed out the the types of items you expect them to sell from various types of shop.I have also listed their opening hours.
Bakery:Buying bread,milk etc.
Note:bread and milk lasts only 5 days which after will cause them to
rotten and become uneatable.Sell bread and milk to them only.Does not
buy any items like action figure from you.
Hours open:7am to 7pm.Closed:Thursday
Grocery or general store:Lets you buy items like orange,S-revive.
Only buy their own shop items from you only.
Open daily from 10am to 8pm
Prawn shop:allows items to be appraise.Only buy
apprasiable items from you.
Hours open:11am to 4pm Closed:Monday
Toy store:This is the most interesting feature i have ever seen.
Once you defeats your enemy,you can buy their action figure from the shop.
The game moves in chapters and series 1 refers to all the enemies that
you have fought in chapter 1,series 2 refers to enemies in chapter 2.
If an action figure is missing from a particular series,this means you
have not fought that enemy yet and a ??? will be shown.it's great to have a whole collection of action figure.Probably you will receive something or not?The last ???of a particular series usually refers to the last boss of that chapter.So don't panic if you have not got the figure yet.The last group is called the special edition of action figure which has 7 slots instead of 6 like the series.The special action figure cannot be purchased unlike you have to defeat the enemies like other series,you will have to unlock it yourself.The only advice that i can give you.The early you buy a new action figure that is just comes in,the cheaper it is.The longer you buy,the price will higher.Now,here's a simple trick to help you make money.If you have decided to sell your action figure,it's best to sell it as later as possible so that you will earn a profit.However,if you regret and want to buy the action figure again,it will be much more and more expensive.
It's good to collect an action figure,so don't sell it.Earn as much Drans as possible to collect as many action figure.Note that Kurt won't buy open toys.
Hours Open:12pm to 8pm Closed:wednesday
Inn:The inn allows you to save your journey for free,sleep.However,
sleeping in an inn needs money.The more expensive room,the more HP and BP
you will recover. However,taking nap for 80 only heals your BP completely
but not HP.Nap requires 3 hours. Note:that sleeping requires time.Normally,
you will sleep until the next day you wake up and your tiredness will be
almost or nearly gone.
Hours Open:Almost every time.
Restaurant:lets you eat and chat with others.There is also a man who will be
willing to gamble with you.1 bet 100.
Hours Open:6pm to 2am. Closed:Sunday.
Palace
Library:Allows you to read books for more info on legendary
crests,scrolls,armors.
Room:Sleep here and recover your life for free.Takes a day.
You can play with your action figure here.(sounds like musashi still a kid).
Visit:from here,you can visit all your friends.There are a total of 35
people to save.Once you found them,visit them and some will be gladly
to teach you new techniques.of course,during certain plot.

#You can only rotate camera in the village only.And during exploring,you can't rotate the camera angles but you can zoom in and out.
____________________________________________________________________________
Defending
By pressing R1,Musashi can block any frontal attack.the only disadvantage is that you can't run or jump while Musashi is blocking.Also,you can't defend any attack from sides,back or from the top.You can use this action when you get confronted with a room full of enemies and you need some time to correctly position yourself for the attack.If Musashi finds himself in a hairy situation,press X button while defending to perform a quick backflip.

General tips.
Items
1)appraise any items that you have found.Without appraise,this item is useless.
2)Sell items that have been appraised like crystal,long tube,goldcoins for Drans.They are totally useless.
3)do not sell the cloth or goggles.They are useful.
4)Don't buy items like breads,orange,riceball,milk that will rotten.
5)Instead,buy items like w-gel,C-drink and at least one s-revive
in your inventory.Bread will become Ol' bread and then rot bread.Milk will change into sour milk after five days,making it worthless.However,several days later,it will change into yogurt.
6)Buy one to three cheese and keep them as long as possible.When kept for
long,it might even heal all your HP and BP completely,plus it's much
cheaper than C-Drink,S-revive and does not rotten.Save it as long as
possible and used it during the boss.
During adventure
1)Look out for hidden paths and treasure.You might not be able to go
there,but come back later.
2)keep a look out for minku.They are a source of HP boasters.
3)Look out for Bincho field or spirit crystal(that's the name i called).
Not only are they a source of BP,you get valuable techniques and info.Some
of the Bincho field are hidden and cannot be acessed right away.Some are
less accessible and hard to see than others.Also,some jumpings and
climbing may be needed.Be sure to explore first before leaving a
4)Master the fusion to steal techniques.You need to learn some fusion
techniques to advance the game.
5)When your HP is running low,you can sleep.You will noticed that your HP
will rise by 4 for every BP decrease.If you get the legendary quilt,not
only twice faster the time,it regains your HP by 10 and BP by 8 each
time.However,if you don't have legendary quilt,and you get poison.My
advice is if you sleep,your HP will decrease by 8 each time your BP
drops.total you will lose 4 HP.If you have the legendary quilt,your HP
will gain by 2 instead of 10 each time.
6)Collect heart tablets(restore HP) and Bincholons(restores BP)
When jumping
As i said that,this game has a lots of jumps and you could hardly believe that it is possible to jump over.Some jumps require you to jump diagonally
cross.
1)Be patient if you cannot jump over.
2)choose from a good position to jump.
3)make sure you are not poisoned or very tired.if you are tired,then sleep.
4)do not force yourself if you are unable.Change your position.
5)Run as fast and jump.
5)try to jump from a higher position to a lower position.
Techniques for Double Jumps
There isn't much to say.You can jump more higher and furthur if you spin while in the air instead of pressing X too fast in ground.
The trick is:
Choose from a good position.
Press X to jump once while holding the directional button.
Hold directional button but release the X button for a second.
Then you should be in air.
Quicky,press X button while holding the directional button.
Then you should be able to jump slighier farthur and higher rather than pressing X so fast.that's means press the second time X when you have reached the peak of your jumps.
Techniques for boss.
look out for a way to hit the boss and follow a distinct pattern.

Chapter 1:The journey begins
Starting
Enemies:Bee plants,Gun soldiers,sword soldiers
After the intro,the hero sets out to recover lumina,a magical sword.The
first part is very easy.Just kill your enemy along the way and tried your
fusion to steal enemy's technique.You will have to make a series of jumps
while getting rid of bee plants,gun soldiers,sword soldiers.You can also throw them away by pressing square when very near to them.Collect as many coins,HP as possible. Run up the path, jump the river and make your way to the 3 rocks.Push the middle rock as far as it will go.Watch out for the Red Guard try to push log on top of you.When you get to the river,you will need to find a Blue Gun soldier to absorb technique,this will give you gunshot.
Each shot consumes 1BP.Shoot the logs down to cross the river.
Question:How to steal enemy technique?
Answer:Read at the general strategy on fusion.
Outside
Make your way and you will come to a ringed wall with a huge head in the
middle and many statues surrounding the middle head.The statues surrounding
the head will generate an electrical field,destroy these statues and an
emblems will be exposed.Step on it and a path will be revealed.While you
are hacking these statues,the middle head will generate a red spiral which causes explosions on you.Run around to prevent damage.Enter the door to get inside.
Inside
Enemies:sphere bats,gun soldiers,sword soldier
Make your way up the spiraling path.Along the way,there will be some
guards there to stop you and blue bats flying towards you.These
blue bats can cause quite a decent damage on you,however they are
easy to kill.When they are flying towards you,stop for a while and
keep attacking.These will kill the bats and they cannot come near you.
Killing these bats will often give you HP for recovery.Musashi will
stop and comment on a big bell hanging over a fiery pit.Continue
upwards and there will be a door at the top that it is locked.
A secret path will reveals until complete darkness.Once the bell
falls,the light will go on.
Question:How to make the bell falls?
Answer:Use gunshot to shoot at the rope.the bell will fall.
Question:What if i absorb stun and lost my gunshot techniques?
There will be a blue guard there.So steal his techniques.
The secret path will reveal.the door will opened.Enter it.
To get lumina sword on the roof.
Enemies:sword soldier,gun soldier
You will be on the roof and you will see the big head and a lot of guards.
You can't get the sword because the head will generate a red crystal around the sword.There is a panel there and when stepped,the removes the force field.
The problem is how to get the sword when you are stepping on the square?
Question:How to get the sword?
Answer:1.try to lure some guards to the square so you can picked up the sword
when the panel is stepped on.this requires timing.
Question:is there another way?
Answer:there is a second method which is more efficient.Go get one of the
guards, the Red Guard actually.Absorb his ability and you will learn 'stun'.
This will cause your enemy to paraylse.First,lure him over to the square.
When he stepped on the square,use stun get the sword.
Chasing
The head will destroy the tower and chase after you.It requires some
practise and you should be able to after a few rounds.Should you
failed,you can continue again(unlimited) without from the beginning
but the time goes on.
Techniques:
When Musashi yells'jumps',get ready to jump over the river.
Try to go as straight as possible,saving more time,rather than going
left and right too often.
Make use of jumps.Jump over small boulders to save you time.
Try to remain in the middle path while trying to dodge obstactles on the path.
Castle
How can a chapter ends without the boss?Upon reaching the castle,
the princess will be captured by a bad guy called Rootrick.After
a conversation,he will trap you in a ring of fire.The princess will
then asks Musashi to use lumina.Hold R1 until the left bar guage is
full.Then press triangle.Musashi will spin his lumina sword
(remember,something! Ah, Zelda!)These will put up the ring of fire.
Roderick gets angry and he will left with the princess,
leaving a steam Knight.
Steam Knight
This guy has a very big steel ball that he will drops it on you.The
trick is while he is spinning the ball,he's ready to drop the ball
on you.Run anywhere around to dodge.Watch out for the steam,coming from
his leg.Do not hold R1 because you will be unable to move fast to dodge his attack.Hold R1 only after he has stop spinning the ball,move closer to his one of his legs and use lumina by pressing triangle while the bar is full. A few time on his legs will cause him to stun. During this time,attack the glowing spot in his mid-section the arrow will point to.Be sure to use lumina.This will cause him damage. He will wake out after some time.Use the same technique on his other leg until he is stun.When his HP runs out,go near him and throw him out of the wall by triangle.His HP should refilled and repeat the same procedure again.Be careful,he will also start throwing pillar on you. When his HP is completely gone,throw him out again,his HP should refilled the once more for the last time.Do not go near him since simply this time,you can't attack his legs anymore to knock him off.You have to attacked the middle glowing spot.The only way to let him jump high up the air,when he lands,remember to stay away from a certain distance from him to prevent getting hurt,his glowing ball will be exposed. This time,move as fast up and hit the glowing ball.This should do him damage.When his HP is completely gone, you will get to toss it out of the town.Exhausted from battle.Musashi decides to take a rest.
Congradulations,you have completed chapter 1.
____________________________________________________________________________
Chapter 2:A new journey
Village
After a scene with everyone,you can visit the village after you have gone to the library,or meet all your friends.When you first go into town,it's best to speak to the mayor first.He lives in a big house near the bottom of the trail that you come down and can be recognised by a wind vane on the top of the roof.Knock on the door by square.The time is very important,if you knock on the door very early in the morning,the door won't open.Wait until when most has woken up.Around 10.30am.The mayor will open the door.should talk about the lost dog and ask you to find it it in the twinpeak mountain. However,you can't enter the mountain without the guard's permission.You will have to find a way yourself.
Going into twinpeak mountain
But before you go,make sure you have a plentiful supplies of bread,Gel etc.
take the path,right the church and over the river.remember not to fall into the river.Musashi cannot swim.Read the sign board.It should says 'Dead End'.Go in to the forest and release the bincho field.(hawker steakwood)
YoHo!You have rescued the first person.Go back to the village again to the other end and entered the forest.The sign should read Somnolent Forest.You can't enter the bottom path because it's surrounded by steam and you will get hurt when you are too near to the steam.Come back after the explosion of the steam reactor(1) to release another bincho field.Now,go up the path and rescue another Bincho field.(Guard lumpwood)Now,head back to the village.Talk to everyone for info.
Twinpeak mountain(rescuing Leno)
Go back up the path and the guard,lumpwood that you saved earlier will let you pass through the twin peak mountain Entrance.if you did not rescue lumpwood,Macho will be at the entrance to stop you from entering.Then you will have to wait until 6pam when he visit the restaurant.Note:there is a minku when you first come to the village,go left path.Do not come down.You should see an animal dung.During anytime of the game between 2300 to 2400,visit the place again to obtain longevity berry to boast your HP by 25.You can also visit now before entering the mountain.Go left and hold R1 once you see the Magician,absorb his shrink technique.Press circle to use it.Any enemies who gets shrinked cannot attacked and can be easily stomp by enemy,including yourself.Don't forget that the magician can also shrink you but after a while,you will regain.Release the guy in the bincho field.
(soldier Lardwick)Jump on the lilly pad and use shrink on the King Maneater.Jump over and you should see Leno,the dog on the other side.Note:if you did not meet the mayor,Leno will not be there and a bone will be left behind.Pick up Leno and throw him over to the other side and get him back to the path.Should Leno falls into the water,he will return to where the bone is.Talk to the mayor. He will ask you to speak to Jon,the prisoner.
Finding bread and water
go over the river and talk to the prisoner, he will ask for water and bread. Go buy some Rya bread from the store, but the water must come from the well by the church.If the two women are there you'll have to wait until there gone,explore!Once you get the water,H20,take it to the guy and he gulps down the goodies and tells you that he is a "Treasure Hunter".You agreed to help him find the key for a secret.
Sidequest:Before you crossed the bridge to the sleepie,near the bridge,there is a secret hidden path and you will see another Minku.
The key is inside the meandering forest.Go inside the forest until you reached the sign 'meandering forest'.You can't go forward any more because there are spikes around.Absorb the hop techniques from the hopper and you will be able to past the spikes.Before entering the spikes,there is a slope on the right side and you can go up the slope with hop.There is a bincho field(Seer Bevealy)and a chest(Old Crown).Follow Leno.On the way,there are many enemy and you'll have to kill them to protect leno.Get the key, go back passed the 'sleepie.get the bincho field(follow the 2nd left and 3rd right gray pipes)and The treasure hunter wilL ask you to come after midnight.So come back after midnight to rescue him.He will talk about the legendary armor and asked you to collect 4 logs and meet at the twinpeak mountain.
Collecting the first legendary armor.
Go and get the minku if you have not done so.Go through the gate, over the
lily pad and run to the other side,there are coins at the top of the 2 poles if you want them. Hop the other two lilies and go around the corner.Run to the far left passing the magician.Release the bincho field and save another person.(Mercenary Meitlofe)You will see three poles.Jump from pole to pole to get to other side.Remember to climb up to restore BP.Go left to the "Memory Box",choose the first option, go right up the path,jump to the box behind the waterfall, go up the path and into the cave.After a series of jumpings, you should come to a bridge.note:there is another bincho field below and a treasure.(Shepherd Beefalo)Save this person by climbing down middle vine.Note that the left vine is electrified. When you come out of the cave down by the river go to the far right, hold R1, hit Triangle , get the tree, go up the path. Go right, notice the red wall, you'll be able to climb these soon. Go down the pole, get the bincho field,(Knight Lardwick)go back up and right to the next pole, go down and get the tree and bincho field.(carpenter carvey)Back up and right to the next pole. Go up and get tree number 3, and remember this spot! You'll have to come back here later when you learn to double jump from the very top of this pole to get a bincho field.(weaver)
Go left to get the 4th tree.Continue left and up and meet the treasure hunter. Cut down the tree by using lumina.The treasure hunter built a raft for you. Note that on the far left end of the cliff of the memory box contains a minku.you will need to jump from a great height to reach cliff.Come back at night to get the minku.
Raft ride
Forget about collecting coins.
Use jumps effectively to dodge large boulders.
You should be able to after some practise.
Unlimited continues should you lost from here.Time will goes on.
If you hit the edges,one of your log will be gone and 4 hits will KO you.After you come down the waterfall,there are two ways.The first way allows you to rescue the bincho field,Doctor.This doctor can heal you inside the castle.After rescue him,you will have to go back and sit on the raft again.The right path will lead you further down the waterfall where you will be seeing some guys throwing rods and staffs on you.Use jump to dodge.
Get the legendary armor.Don't jump down first.Walk furthur down to open another chest of 200 Drans.Then jump down and head back to the village as there will be nothing for you to explore.
Steam reactor
Go to the prawn shop to appraise everything that you have found.When you esit from the shop,the mayor will talk to you.There is a problem at the steam reactor and he wants you to help.Save the game.Ask the steamwood administrator.It's on the ciff where you first found minku.Climb up the cliff.Talk to him and he will give you the manuel.Go to steam wood that is near the windmill,climb the cliff.You have only 24 hours to stop.There will be gauges and once it reaches the OK zone,press X and the pressure in the valve will rise up.When it's ful,head for the next one.there are a total of 8 to shut down which must be entered in numerical order from 1 to 8.if done correctly,the red door turns to green and your valve timer will rise,giving more time.When it reaches zero,you will have to start all over again from 1.Each gauge will get more and more faster so timing is everything.Be careful about those electrified walls.Jump carefully over them.These electrified walls can poised an hindrance on you,reducing your HP.
Tips:When you reach the first level,run to the right and shut down valve#1.To reach #Valve3,you must make a tricky jump onto one of the orange pipes next to the walkway,and then hop over to the valve.Be very careful.Take the lift up to the second level,hop onto an orange pipe next to the elevator and jump onto the main walkway.run to the left past valve#6 to locate valve#4.Shutdown valve #4 and go to the left to shut down valve#6,then right to valve#6.Take the elevator up the last floor and run left to shutdown valve#7 and then finish valve#8.
For more information on steam reactor,you might want to read steam reactor Part2
The steamwood administrator
You can go back through the shortcut or go back the same way you came in if you have not release the bincho field(musician Pianissimeat)near the Earth crest through a left side pipe.Also,there is also another bincho field(acrobat sausages)in the right side of the pipe.Once you have both clown and his partner,acrobat,they will be able to perform a stunt for you.
Sidequest:Go to south of somnlent forest where you can't enter previously to rescue maid.Also,visit the castle and talk to the maid,the 9th person and she should teach you the dashing pierce technique.Talk to acrobat and he will say that he will perform a stunt for you but every final say has to from clown.So talk to clown,the 3rd person and they perform stunt for you,
however,you will need an orange so that they can perform.Make sure you bring an orange before talking to clown.Afterwards,you will learn the technique,Shish Kebab.
Twinpeak mountain-searching for Earth scroll.
The same goes for what you did the other time.Enter the mountain.Go to the memory box and save your memory there.Go furthur left and you should have a coversation with Rootrick,the man who has captured princess.Go back to see if the minku on the left of the cliff is out if you have not captured it.Now here comes the most challenging part.
Climbing competition
There is nothing much to say.Rootrick will challenge you to the top to get Earth scroll.It's very easy.Just keep climbing and you will win.when you reached the top,Musashi will laugh at Roderick and throw a big stone on him like last time he did to the steam knight.Roderick,blame yourself for climbing so slow.
Get the earth crest
Horey!You should have got the first scroll,earth scroll.The scroll will tell you to kill the Earth guardian to release the earth crest.
Question:How do I go down?there is a big boulder there blocking my way.
Answer:You have to somehow make the big boulder fall.That's when the first use of earth scroll comes in.Go to the menu.You will see sword.Choose earth instead of normal.Then powered up with R1,then triangle.Jump down from here.
Sidequest:You can straight ahead to find the earth guardian but there are hidden items at the top of the mountain.Go and collect the doctor if you have not done so.Go to where you met Jon,the treasure hunter on the top,along the way,you will notice that your raft is back so you can ride the raft anytime to get doctor if you have not done so.When you reached there,there will be hovering boulder.Use the power of the earth,continue to the right to the pole going to the top of the mountain. Don't climb the pole, just keep going to the right to get to the top and get the chest.Now you can either climb back down the way that you came or you can jump over the edge by the waterfall and try to land on the raft in the middle, it's tricky but a quicker way down.There's a rock on the peak of the mountain which you can appraise.After the raft ride,you get to the end go up the stairs as before but keep going straight into the next screen.Run up to the boulder and stomp. The chest has money if you want it.Go stomp by the next set of boulders.Now keep going all the way to the wall and stomp again. Go back, hop down and come back to get the bincho field, go back to town.
You'll talk to Jon, the Treasure Hunter, then go back to the prawn shop owner and let him look at what you found.
Defeating the earth guardian
Next go to the castle and talk to old man.When you are done save your game and get sleep if needed. I recomend that you have lots of cheese,W-Gel and has already got all the minku in these levels before you go to fight the guardian.You will have to go back to "Hell's Valley".Note:by the time,you must have resecued at least 4,if not you can't opened the gate.The four people are carpenter carvey,mercenary meitlofe,knight lardwick and soldier lardwick.Without any of them ,you won't be able to proceed to hell's valley to fight skullpion.
Earth Crest guardian:Skullpion
Be ware of his three attacks:the tail sweep which will attack you from behind,stomp by jumoping high up and stomp you,earth spitting(i don't know the name).It would spit out greyish materials at you.You have to run.
The trick to defeat it is to use lumina when he is unconsious.use the earth power and the materials on the container should drop.Fall it a few times on him and he will be unconsious.Then you can use lumina and attacked the core by pressing triangle.While he is spitting out,try to run away.Try to protect your friends.Don't let them get hurt too often.They will need some time to regain consious.During this time,you will not be able to do anything to hurt it.try to keep him occupied.A few times and he's KO.
Sidequest:After you have defeat the crest guardian,come back to the same spot where you fought it,there should be a minku.Also,pls return to the Earth crest through the left pipeline in the steamwood.Use the power of the earth and there will be a hidden path.The cliff will collapse.Climb up the cliff.You should see there is another fire crest.There is a Minku there.
Congradulations, you have completed chapter 2.remember to buy the last action figure for the series 2.
____________________________________________________________________________
Chapter3:saving Tim
Vampire roaming
Once the crest guardian has been defeated you will return to the
village and you will see the mayor and Hotelo outside the general store.During night time,you might see zombies roaming around the village but rest assured they can't hurt you.Ignore them.It appears that the defeating of earth guardian has set these creatures free.After the conversation with the Mayor and Hotelo,you should learn that Tim is going to be a vampire if he doesn't get the remedy.The two items that needed to make the remedy are
Misteria and Aqualin.The mayor will sent you to take Misteria while Hotelo will be sent to twin peak mountain to obtain aqualin.Misteria is a flower that blooms in the underground mine tunnel between 3.00 to 7.00a.m whereas Aqualin ia the water from the peak of the mountain.First,to enter the mines,you will need the key from the man who lives in the windmill.
Sidequest:Go inside the castle and visit the 14th person to learn crosswise cut technique.
Getting the Key
The man,wig will not open the door until 2300.You have to wait up early in the morning.Knock on the door and he should come up.After some conversation,he should give you the key.Next,open the door that was once locked and go inside the mines.
inside the mines
Turn right during the path,follow it,climb the pole.In the next area,you will have to avoid being hits by landslide.Make the neccessary jumps. Next,you will come to the big fan.Warning,do not go to the other end if you have not collected Misteria.This is another way to the entrance.Jump down te fan when it's stop to the underground.Sace your memory on the memory box.Go the left path.When you enter the room,you will see many conveyor belts.Note that there are two bincho fields in this room,one on the top left of the screen(Knight brisket)and another one in the bottom middle.(Carpenter Dicey)
Save them.Now,run and jump.Don't fall.Musashi can't fly either.
Collecting misteria.
Enter the room and you will enter a room.In the middle will be a big island and surrounding the island will be 3 small islands.use the lilly pad. and get to the middle island to get Misteria.You can sleep until it blooms.Bring one to two antidote.there is a risk of gettting poison.In the middle of the island,there is also another bincho field.(cook Mary-Nade)You have to use the lilly pad to get to it.There are 3 surrounding islands.Once after taking the misteria, jump on the lilly pad.There are chest(old gloves,i think),
another bincho field(chief gravie),and a minku.Capture the minku once your HP runs low.This should regain all your HP.Next,exit and you are ready to left.Exit the conveyer belt.If you have not rescued them,pls save them now.Go back to the memory box.leave your memory here.There will be a spot for you to climb up to the fan.Next,go to the right side with the help of the fan.Now,exit your way.It's easy and you will make your way.remember to jump carefully.Give the misteria to the mayor and the mayor will ask you to find Hotelo.
Sidequest:Go to the castle and talk to the 21st person,learn another fighting technique,Tenderize.The doctor is no #37 if you need to restore your health.
Finding Hotelo and collecting Aqualin
Next,go to twinpeak mountain.Make your way up as usual and you should find Hotelo in the cave.He is in despair and that Tim has only 12 hours left before he turns into the vampire.In the game,12 hours mean 12 minutes so you will have to move fast.Follow the same route where you meet Jon and jump up.Upon reaching the top,you will get aqualin.Next,take back aqualin to Hotelo and tim is safe.Don't bother to kill the enemy.Conserve your time.
Note:If you failed to give the aqualin to Hotelo within 12 minutes,tim will become a vampire.However,you will not die.You can still go up and colect Aqualin to the mayor but this time,the mayor will say it's too late.In return for saving Tim,The owner of the general store will give you an orange.
The zombies
Next,talk to the girl in the bakery,chat with her and she will talk about a
her father going to the bar at 1800 or 6pm.Check your items,save,take a nap until 6pm.Then comes to the restaurant and you will talk to Jam's father and he should mention that he missed the beef in the restaurant.He mentioned that the restaurant is closed,the shop owner is missing and the waitress is at the inn.Go to the inn and talk to the waitress in rooms 205 and 206.Now,go back to the restaurant until 2300.You will see ghosts coming out from the restaurant.Run inside before the the door is closed.Check the counter and enter the underground basement.
Inside the underground basement
You will noticed many soda bottles scattered around.Move furthur down and you will see Mannick,the restaurant owner.He will tell you that that the door with 4 eyes will lead to the boss.You will have to find a way to open the door.Visit the four doors with one eye.Once you obtain the blue eye,the eye will open up.Collect four and the door will open.Mannick will restore your health by giving you a cake.There's a memory box so check it out.I will first explain the first room from his left.
Room 1.(to the left):Bowler Plant Maze
Dodge the huge bowling ball coming from the bowler until you reached the end.Absorb the bowling skills from the bowler.Consumes 10BP.There is a hidden room behind the bowler next to the wall that you can climb.
Tips:use holes to avoid being hit by the bowling ball.
You will be in a room with a bowler, break the wall to the right with a bowling ball.Go and stand on the square and bowl down the vambee to cool down the floor.Go through the door at the end, get the bincho field,
(Mercenary Potrowst),take the treasure on the right wall by bowling,come out and take the elevator up.There will be an eye who will splash fire against you.Use lumina to smash it to pieces.Go into the room ,get another bincho field,(mercenary Stue)and take the eye.restore your health by talking to Mannick.
Sidequest:once you have the skill to bowl,go to room 3 and 4.Don't enter.look around and you will see a crackled wall.Bowl the wall to get the 3 hidden chest inside.i think the cloth(when appraised becomes L-cloth)is also one of the three chests.
Room 2( to the right):Teleporter Maze
You will cross some moving platforms.This is easy.Keep jumping and don't fall down if not you will have to restart again.Take the right path,killed the zombie.Note: do not come too close to the vambee.It will suck up your blood.use sword to attack or avoid it.It will do up to 40 to 90 damage.Go down and exit.Avoid the touching the glowing blue ball but use it as a source of light.Use the poles to advance.Get the bincho field.(Baliff Jerky)
Go back and take the left path.Kill the vambees and entered the room.Instead of coming to a room with poles you will have missing floor panels.Get through and take the right teleportation.make your way and you will come to another room with 2 teleportation circles.This time,take the left one.Walk furthur and you will come to another room ,again with two teleportation.Take the left one and go up to get the blue eye.
teleport:Right,left,left.
*Taking the alternate one will teleport you back to the exit.
Tips:if you are good,you can assimilate the bats to learn firefly so you can light your way.Also,if you absorbed B.O. from the vambees,the bats and lamp bats won't attack you temporary.
Room 3(left side of the other end.):Fire maze
Jump across the rotating blocks in the first two rooms,get the bincho field
(Brisketta)in the second one.You will go through a couple of more rooms with rotating blocks.There will be a room with swinging blades.Avoid getting hit.

Run straight through the next two rooms avoiding the enemies.THe door will remain shut until you can move the block(s) to the squares.The first one is easy.The second room,Top to top right, middle to bottom left, bottom to top left.Top to top right, middle to bottom left, bottom to top left.There will be a room with falling and sliding blocks, be careful.You will see a ghost.Tips:use fusion to steal sublime skill from it.Consumes 8BP.Your sould can float around temporary to look for chests.later,when you walk,it should be in complete darkness.You can't see the path.Use sublime to get a glimse of the place.Try to follow a certain pattern.Do the same in the next few rooms to get a chest and release a bincho field.(carpenter cubey)Now,you will come to the end before taking the last blue eye.You will see a circle somewhere.Jump from this circle to the bottom path.there is a hidden room to another bincho field.(Knight chucks)use the teleport to return to where the circle was.Go to the left path and take the blue eye.
Collecting the next legendary armor.
Go to the door with the four eyes.You should see Mannick missing.Opn the door and you will find Mannick inside.Go to him an dhe will say that he bought this restaurant because he heard about the treasure inside.When he opened the chest,he found a old belt.Mannick was very disappointed and thought he could struck rick.he gave the belt to Musashi.Next,go into the castle and talk to the 36th person,the knight.He should teach you his fencing technique,the Desperado Attack.Now,go back to the prawn shop and appraise this belt and it should turn into the legendary belt.You can now make double jumps by pressing X twice.
Well
After you come out of the shop,the restaurant owner,mannick,says that he is very sorry for what he has done and would like to make up to the villagers by opening his restaurant and will do his best to make the restaurant the best in the village.(Hey!That's only one restaurant in the village.So you could consider yourself to be the best.)he would talk that he went to the well to collect water but the well is dried up.You would have to find a rope to get down to the well.
Sidequest:remember i told you about the third log in the twinpeak mountain that you cut down.There is a bincho field on the right side of the pole which can only be accessed after you got the double jump.Now,go to there,climb up to the top of the pole and jump to the right.You should see it as you jump.Don't panic if you cannot jump to the other side for the first time.if musashi is tired,just let him rest until tiredness reaches 20%.Musashi would jump slightly better if he is not tired compared to when he is very tired.Jump over and saved weaver.Note:at this point of the game,you should have cloth which when you appraise becomes the legendary cloth.Talk to weaver in the castle and she will make Option 1)a quilt for you or Option 2)glove.I choose quilt instead of glove and i got another legendary armor.This is a must.The effects are every time,you sleep you will regain both HP and BP,instead of gaining HP and losing BP and the best parts are it regains at twice the normal speed and you can make tiredness to 0%.If you sleep in the inn or at your room,you will be able to have tiredness from 0%.however,if you are sleeping outside the inn,or anywhere,the min tired ness can goes up to 20% and won't dropped furthur down.if it is below 20%,when you are sleeping outside the inn or room,your tiredness % will stay and when you get up ,it will rise up to 20 and above.Note:that it will take weaver three days to make.Collect the legendary quilt after three days.
And if you choose gloves,you will get the legendary gloves which will increses critical attack %.I advise you to choose legendary quilt as it will help you in many ways during adventure and you can save a lot of money from buying Mint,however,L-quilt is useless when you reach soda fountain at the final stage.Dn't worry about that first.
Getting a rope
The rope can be obtained from the church.the gate is locked and you will have to climb over the fence.You should see the father sleeping outside.he says that the church to the inside is locked and he can't get in.Also,the church bell is lost aand he will ask you to find it.Because he was afraid of the ghost that would come in,he has locked the gate.He says that he has heard noises coming out from the church at 2am.So come back at 2am.he will let you climb on his back and you will have to jump inside the church from the roof.
Inside the church.
After a conversation,you will have to fight a tons of vambee soldiers. Survive the battle until sunrise and you will be able to get the rope.
Tips:you can also consider use Earth scroll ability to stun them for a while.use lumina and keep attacking.If possible,throw them out to the outer ring.
Inside the well
Get the water scroll.You should learn the water element.You can create a shield of bubbles to protect you from fires or floats on water temperory or bubbling rapid bubbles by pressing square or triangle.Find the bell and keep tossing to the exit.Note you can't climb up the rope while carrying the bell because it is too heavy.notice that is a minku there.You can get it now but later.The only way to exit is to go the underground tunnel.When you get back to the village,you will get an angel-shaped statue that is the key to the fire god.
Sidequest:if you don't have the doctor,this is the shortcut way to get him without riding the raft.go to the twinpeak until you reached the three poles.Don't JUMP.Use water shield to go left of the water and you should be able to rescue doctor.Go furthur left again in the water and you will see Minku.
Finding the use of the statue.
Wait till midnight until zombies come out of the restaurant.Go into the restaurant underground basement.Walk straight down.You will notice that there is a door with big gaps that you can't reached.Before you jump,remember to leave your memory in the memory box.Go back up to the entrance but don't go out.Run straight down.The higher you run,keeps dashing,the faster you move and jump over the big gap using double jump to open the door.Of all the levels up to now,i find here to have the most difficult jumps.Ther's more.Remember to watch your tiredness %. if lucky a few tries,you might be able to jump over.if not,keep trying.Good luck.This is the only way.Be sure to have tons of c-Drinks and at least one s-revive and a cheese that has been with you for a long time.Sell away unwanted items and buy HP and BP recovery item.
Defeating the 2nd crest guardian
Ist room
The ist room is the easiest of all.use the Water to create shields of bubbles around to float on the water.Go to the door.
2nd room.
It gets more and more toughier.Just jump.But two things to take note.Remember to watch your tiredness %.if your tiredness % is high,you might not be able to jump farther than you did.Second note is to have shield of bubbies around you before you jump just in case you fall.The shield will protect you and you would not get hurt from the fire,however the shield will disappear.And if you failed to jump over without the shield,you will get over 20 damage.Note that this shield only protects you from fire,the bats will still be able to hurt you.Jump and reached for the exit.
3rd room
This is more challenging and of course,the toughiest.Jump keep moving.Remember there is a bincho field.(taster Salmonelli)
Make sure you collect them.
Hints and tips:
1)be sure to have the water shield with you all the time to protect you from
fire.
2)Along the way,you will have to jump from block-to-block.The block will sink when you jumps onto them(weight,of course.)So quickly jump to the other block.
3)Along the way,you will see fireballs coming toward you.Run away to a good position and use rapid bubble shooting to extinguish the fires.It can cause quite a decent damage.
4)You should see a rotating blocks with pits.Avoid getting too close.watch the pattern.
5)There are 2 pit holes here.Jump onto them and it will do around 20 damage on you.Use double jump to jump over.Be carefull.
4th room
This is the one of the easier.You will noticed four flames.Use bubbles to extinguish the flames from a corner.Once each flame is extinguish,it becomes darker.Once the four flames are extinguish,the door to the battle of the 2nd crest guardian will opened up.
2nd Crest guardian:The relic keeper
Musashi will laugh at it because the ceilings have started to collapse and called it a loser.Now,the main strategy to attack.
You will noticed about a fire demon who will keep attacking you.Use the water,create a shield round you and keeps using bubbles against it.keep running from side to side while using the rapid bubbles.When it suddenl turns blue,he will keep attacking you.It will does quite a lot of damage.many hits on the fire demon will cause the ceiling to continue collapse until the relic keeper gets knocked out.During this time,his blue torso will be revealed.Quickly,go to menu,choose normal and use jump,then lumina.Hold R1 first,jump then prss triangle.this should give him some damage.Remember to attack fast because after some time,the relic keeper will wake up,so does the fire demon.Repeat the procedure over again,keep shooting bubbles at the fire demon,until relic keeper gets knocked out again,then use lumina to attack its torso.Three hits in its torso and he will be gone.
Congradualtions,you have completed Chapter 3.

Chapter 4:The Duel at Dragon Island
First Task
When you first returned to town,knock on the mayor's house and talk to Mrs Govern,the mayor's wife.she will tell you that the mayor has a cold and she wants you to check out the well.Additional:You can check out the well first before talking to the Mrs Govern.So go inside the well but make sure check your items first and appraise any items that you have find.
Inside the well
You will see the water crest glowing.Go there and use the water sword power.The water to the cave will be emptied while the other side(where the rope is) will rise.Then enter Ed and Ben.There will be a conversation and Musashi overheard their conversation and they are the thieves behind the stolen bell in the church.Afterwards,they will left.
After they leave
Go and get the chest on the right side.
Go back pass the water crest, use your water skill to get the
other chest.
Go get the minka.The minka that you previously could not get,can now be
captured.
Enter the cave and get the chest near the end look at the
fire crest.remember this spot.You have to come again after you got fire scrolls and defeats the fire guardian.
remember there is a chest in the southrn part of this reservoir in the well,it is old shirt,when appraised becomes L-vest.
Now leave
Sidequest:Go into the Somnolent Forest.remember there is a water crest there and a chest in the water that you can't get it.You can take it now.Use the water power while standing on the water crest.The water level should completely dried up.Now,you can go down and collect the chest.It should be glasses,i suppose.Go to the prawn shop and appraise the glasses.Suprisingly, it turns out to be the next legendary armor,the legendary goggles.
Second task assignment.
This time,you must talked to the mayor's wife.Talk to her and she should mention Mr lands who wants the Gondola to be repaired.First,you will need 3 carpenters,and has to go into the scrap depository to obtain the Gondola Gizmo.Now,talk to the wig,the man living in the windmill,then go to the castle and talk to the three carpenters,CarpentA,CarpentB,CarpentC.They should be the 13th,18th and 27th person.But make sure,by now you should have save them.If not,you have to look for them so you can advance.Make sure you talk to them,if not you have to come out and go over again.each of them will give you a description of the gondola gizmo.The people are carpenter carvey,carpenter cubey,and carpenter Dicey.
First:gold-rimmed and refining
Second:looks like a wheel
third:Has four calculation holes.
Scrap depository
first,go into the mine again and reached until where the fan is.Jump down the fan to where the memory box is.Leave your memory in the box.Take the right path.Go furthur.You need to jump over.You can't jump over to the other side until you have the double jump.Don't panic if you can't jump over the first time.Keep trying.make sure you have at least one antidote with you because if you fall down or comes too close in contact with the blue toad stool,you will be poisoned and cannot run.Tips:there is a cure worm.Absorb its technique to cure poison and to regain speed.You should reached the room at the end.There are a total 4 wheels but which one is it?
Question:Which wheel is it?
Answer:Many think it's the first left and the last left because there are four holes from the middle.But in actual fact,if you count the middle,they should have five holes.So,look for a gold-rimmed wheel between the second and third from the left and the winner is the third one from the left.Take the third wheel and return back to the village.Remember,you can only carry
one at a time and if you take the wrong wheel,you will have to come here over again.
The village is in fire.
After returning to the castle,talk to them and you will go to sleep.When you wakes up,you have found that you have overslept and immediately rush out to see Mrs Govern.Surprisingly,ihe whole village is in fire.Now,use your water scrolls to put out the eight flames.Create a shield round you and hold square to shoot bubbles continously at the flames.The flames should get smaller and slowly extinguished.Remember,the fire ill grow bigger and bigger so act fast.Once you have put out the fire,Mrs Govern will talk to you.She said that someone saw two thieves on the roof of the church.And after a while,a fire started roof of the church.And who are the main prime suspect? Naturally,you will suspect it's Ed and Ben again who is out there to steal the church bell again but you will know later on.In the morning,talk to the Mayor and his wife,you should get the thirstquencher calender and rock salt.
Saving the princess and defeating Kojiro
Go to Somnolent Forest.Absorb 'hop' from the hopper and hop across the spikes.On your way stop on the bridge before you get to the "Sleepy" mushrooms and use your water shield to float left on the river to a spot with a minka on it. You will reached the sign 'meandering forest' but don't enter the forest.Go right and there will be a giant snail.Use rock salt to shrink the giant snail.You can go now.You will see a bincho field and you will rescue artisan,the blacksmith who agrees to temper your fusion sword.Remember to talk to him when you returned to the castle.Use water sword in the water crest.The water will lowered.Get the fire scroll.You will fight Kojiro.The princess will be there use as hostage to make Musashi fight with him.Defeat him and you will save the princess.Defeating Kojiro is very simple.Just use your normal attacks while dodging his attack.
Question:Before you read furthur,pls ask yourself,would the thirstquencher empire return princess to you so easily?Think about this.Is is going to be a trap!
At the castle
You will be ask to investigate the thefts(Ed and Ben).Remember to talk to artisan,the blacksmith to temper your sword.Next,talk to the three mercernary who are invastigating the case.Each of them will give you a clue.the thief's hideout is past the meandering forest at the frozen palace but the problem is how to reach the frozen palace.These are the clues to frozen palace:
Mercenary Meitlofe:The hideout is in meandering forest.The clue is "Duh...About the knight...don't worry about the direction you're facing.Go straight(up)."
Mercenary Potrowst reads his coded message to you:"Mercenary Forest-4way path-Gold,Knight,Knight,Knight,Bishop"
Mercenary Stue:"Left,Right,Right,Left,straight ahead..."
Q:What do all these directions mean?
Answer:Mercenary potrowst suggests you read more about the shogi in the library to find out what the clue means.You can nowask scrible shanky after you have saved libararian Brisketta in the restaurian basement.it refers to certain movements like a chess.
You may like to go to the library and look for a clue first before attempting to read the directions below to the thieves' hideout.It could really be a spoiler and the clue now really makes no existence if you already know the directions.It's pretty challenging.For those lazybums,i have saved you quite a lot of time by giving you the directions.
Just follow this when you reached the meandering forest.And remember to save before you go.It will be tough later on.
1)Go left path and you will see a huge rock.
2)Go to the upper path two times
3)You will see two rocks,one big at the top and smaller one on the
right.Take the right path by the smaller rock.
4)There should be four trees.Go to the upper path two times.
5)it will start to snow.Then take the right path.
6)there will be a huge rock and a tree.Go to the upper path two more times.
7)Then take the left path.
8)You should see a huge rock and a tree which looks exactly like the
previous one.Go to the upper path four more times.
Congradulations for those who has been figuring out how to pass the forest.You should now reached the frozen palace.Enter it.
Summarise:Left,Up,right,Upx2,right,Upx2,left,Upx4.
Inside the frozen palace
You will meet ginderelle(sorry,i didn't catch her name.Check the speeling.),later you will know that ginderelle is actually bubble's sis.Ginderelle will say she does not belong to the leader's force and after a conversation,she will left.The enemies in the main hall are only the ice plant.

haya wolf:looks like wolf with some karate skills.Be ware of his D-Kick.
Slow guy:This guy moves very slow,quite big but has lots of HP.Stand a distance away from him and keep attacking using lumina.When too close,he can toss you away but is actually very helpful during some parts of the game.You will know why later.
Copycat:he looks like mushashi but will generate electricity around him.So,don't stay too near him.Plus,he can mimic your every move.If you move back one step,he will move back one step too.You jump,he also jumps.The only way to defeat him is to use long range attack so use fire.Stay away from a distance and don't move while using flames.By not moving,he will also not move.

Slowguy Hurl Ability to toss
Getting the red eye.
Enter the first left door.Enemies encountered: cool Plant,copycat, penguin.There is a left blue eye door which you can't enter now.Go to the other door.You will see two penguin and two falling ice blocks.Don't bother to attack the two penguins.If you kill both,there won't be any ice block coming down.When the blocks fell down,quicky jumps over to to any of the block and the block will carry you to the other side.But halfway before reaching the other side,the block will fall into the big hole and you will have to jump over to the other side.Be ware,because you are standing on ice blocks and the floor is very slippery.Too much movement is likely to make you fall.So,position yourself as soon you jump onto the pole and wait for a chance to jump over.By the time,you should have already mastered double jumps.Look at the penguin on the other side doing the same thing.Go to the door and you will see two doors.The right door will lead you to the bincho field on the R1 side room.
Sidequest:You will save chef juivenne.When you return to the castle anytime,talk to cook A and she should say they have already harvesting the rice.Now,you can buy riceball(heals 150HP and BP.) at the grocery store.
Continued:Don't jump down now and returned and go to another door.In here,you will meet many penguin knights.Go furthur and read the sign.It should says may the lonely have victory.
Question:what does that mean?
Answer:It means you have to be alone in this room,so kill all the penguin knights in the room and there will be a chest.The treasure inside is the red
eye.
Getting the blue eye.
Once you have the red eye,exit and go to the main hall.You can also jump down from where the crystal(the place where you save chef) is to R1 to avoid any unnecessary jumpings of the ice blocks.Go the L2 which is the red eye door.On your way,you will face copycat,cool plants and slow guy.There are icicles on the floor that can hurt you if you come too close but you can also melt them by using fire.Go to the end where you will only see an cool plant and the slow guy.Take a heart there to regain some of your HP.Kill the cool plants.
Question:Help me!I'll stuck.Where should i go now?I can't reach the stairs up there and they appears to be no other way.
Answer:There is a way to reach the stairs up there.First,kill the cool plant
Next,lure the slow guy near to the corner near the staircase and let him come close to you.He will toss you high up in the air and you can jump over to the staircase.Go into the next room.Now you know why i say slow guy's tossing technique is useful.Take the bincho field
(alchemist)Make your way to the left side wall and you will encounter haya wolf and stomp golem.It looks like a maze.
Sidequest:First,go to the far right side of the maze.When you enter,you will run into barricade of spikes.Before entering,you must absorb stomp golem and learn steel.Now,activate the steel and you will be able to run over to the other side and take a bincho field.(butcher chops)Then return.You can take the easy way back by just jumping down from where you are or go all the back through the maze.
Continued:Go into the far left side of the maze.Enter and read the sign.it should say may the unhurt have victory.So kill all the copycat without getting hurt.Use the long range fire attack against them.There will be a chest.Open the chest and it's the blue eye.
Getting the green eye.
Go L1.Inside,there is a blue eye door.Open the blue eye door.Get the bincho field.there are two ice blocks,one big and the other smaller and a stair case.Jump from the smaller block to the bigger block,then to the staircase. Be careful,the ice block is slippery.You will have to make your jumps carefully.Go up and you will see an cool plant there.kill it and go to the next door.You will see an copycat and a few slowguy.Kill the copycat and jump over until you reached to the other side. Remember,don't go near the slowguy as they might toss you and you will have to start all over again.Go out and you will reached LUD.Take the chest and it urned out to be an old shoes.Go back to the town and appraise the old shoe.It becomes the legendary shoes.You can now walk on slippery ice block without falling.Note:if you have the legendary goggles,your old shoes will immediately be appraise so you can save the trip from going back to the village.Then go to R2. With the legendary shoes,you can now walk up the stairs.take the chest on the other side.Go into the door and you will come to a maze with lots of big ice blocks.There is a bincho field(janitor Sloopy-joe)on the right side of the screen as well as a chest.Go to the top left and there is a smaller ice block that you can jump onto it with an heart on it.Jump on the smaller block to the bigger block and collect the bincho filed(musician al forte)
and chest.In the middle,is the green eye door.Once you get to the far right,be sure to absorb the copycat to learn clone.Now,go into the room and you will see slowguy.Lure slowguy into the circle.When he toss you up into the air,quicky use clone.Run away from the circle.And press circle again to activate the clone.It will explode and immediately kill slowguy.Take the green eye from the chest.Now,return and climb the block to make your way to the green door.There is nothing more in this room and it leads to the blue door in L1.Now,go up the stairs.the door is frozen so use fire to melt the ice.Then musashi will use the three eyes to open the door.
3rd Crest guardian-Frost Dragon.
Go to the back of the 1st floor to collect a chest.Note:if you are not confidential of beating,go back to the town and stock up your supplies since you should have already used up nearly your recovery items.If not,just proceed up the stairs where you will come to a door,a memory box and 2 post.Leave your memory here.light up the 2 post using fire and the door will open up.Upon entering,you will see the frost dragon.Use lumina and hit the
glowing spot.You will be taken to the lower level.You will see some icicles in your path, use fire,melt them and proceed. When you start your battle,you must know that you can't defeat the dragon now.keep using fire at him and move around.After some time,the dragon will start to knock off the right part of the wall and the left wall starts to collapse.Move as fast as you can to the right.You will be notified of the collapse by a right arrow and the dragon will scream.Now,move as fast as you can.if you fall,it's finished and you will have to start from the memory box again and all your hard-earned Drans will be 50% gone.As you run,the dragon will keep knocking down the bridge behind you.Along the way,there are icicles.Use fire to melt them.Land on and the Dragon will dive into a hole.Now,it's time to pay back.
Strategy
The dragon will mainly use four main attack:
Shoots ice ball:You can avoid this ice ball easily by double jump.It costs about 15 to 20 damage each ball cost
Shoots a large ice beam:There is only one way to avoid.When it shoots from the beam from the left to right,immediately run to the most top-right
corner and you will be able to avoid it.Similarly,if the beam comes from right to left,immediately run to the most top-left corner.Also,each beam can cost up to 70 damage which is in fact quite deadly.After it uses the beam,it will lay its head down and this is your chance to attack.Avoid and then shoot fireballs at it.
sweeping its body:It moves very fast when it uses sweep and is hard to avoid.But there is a way,go to the top screen as top as possible and you should be able to dodge its sweep.
Attacking directly:this is easy to dodge.It uses direct attack more often when you are near it.
Note:Remember not to come to near it or you will be frozen which can cause up to 20 damage.
Here's the way to defeat it.Try to avoid the ice ball and other attacks as much as possible while shooting fires at it.After he uses ice beam,this is your best chance to attack.A few hits and it should be knocked unconsious. Quickly,go near it and use normal attack,triangle,lumina sword to attack. Don't bother to store up the bar.This should give it damage.Follow this pattern and a few hits should KO it.Say goodbye to chapter 4.Get out of here.
____________________________________________________________________________
Chapter 5:The one that Nests Underground
sidequest:Talk to Cook B once you have the butcher.They will start making neatballs for you which you can buy form the grocery shop.
Steam reactor Part 2.
Note:don't bother going to the mine to activate the fire crest since there is a steam leak and you can't advance furthur.When you returned from the village,the mayor will tell you a bad new about the princess and ask you to ask the shop owner for information.Talk to any of the shop owner and they will tell that the princess is not herself.She has taken all of our hard-earned profits.How can the princess do this?There is something wrong.Go to the castle and you will be told that the princess is missing.She was fine last night during the dinner but was missing this morning.Now,return to the village.Note:you can also take the Gondola ride now.First,don't go to the steam reactor now.Save your game before you go.It is going to be like the last time but gonna be more tougher and more challenging.Go by the shortcut at the steam administrator house to steamwood.You will see the steam administrator lying there.Talk to him and he will say that princess ask him to bring her here but noone else knew that the princess knock him unconsious and cause the steamwood to go berserk.Out of desperation,the steamwood administrator locked the princess inside and removed the handle.
Question:Why did the princess taken all the profits from the shop owners?
Why did she knocked him unconsious?
What is her purpose for destroying the steamwood?
Could she be a disguise?
Take the handle and open the door.Choose second option.If you forgot how to close the valves,choose the first option to read through the manuel once again.Ah,forget it!Who will forget it?Go inside and you will be suprise to see the princess talking about leader's force and etc.And how on earth did she get a tail?Oh!Should have guessed it.The princess is false.She is Topo in disguise,one of the member of leader's force.She will disappeared and left the profit that she took from the shop owners.
Now,what's the difference and similarities between the first and second one.
Now,you still have 24 hours to shut the steamwood down.each hour represents one minute.So,hurry out.
The difference is:
The location where you tlk to the steam administrator is different.
There are 3 valves with lost handle and you will have to find them.Requires more time and resource.
More steam coming out.This one i have noticed.It is now difficult as there are more steam leaks and it's difficult to jump over.For example,the only way to get to 5,i suppose is to go up one more level to 8 and then jump down to 5.
There are two strategies.
First,close the valves as you move along to collect the 3 handles.
Second strategies:Have at least 4 empty spaces in your inventory to collect the profits and the 3 handles and open the valves in numerical order.
First strategies:( an extreme hard strategy)
Advantage:You will have more time to retry just in case the valve timer goes off.
Disadvantage:There is a chance that your valve timer reaches 0,especially when you are collecting the
handle.Once you fail and fall,its finished.Fast and quick.
Second strategies:I prefer the second strategies more than the first and i find it more easy.
Advantages:No need to waste time searching for the handles and save a lot of valve timer time,especially at the later on part.So,there is a lesser chance of getting O valve timer.The ultimate is to race against the valve timer time,not the explosion time.24 minutes is long enough for you to open 2 or more times(of course,without counting the valve timer.).
Disdvantage:Took you about 2 to 5 minutes to find the 3 handles.But if you can really find the three handles between 2 to 3 minutes,you should have more than enough time to do it a second time.
Main strategies:
You will find that the handles for 1, 4 and 8 are missing.The handle for the no1 can be found on the ground floor by walking straight right after you have talk to the princess.Without the no 1 handle,you will never be able to apply any of the two strategies.No4 handle can be found quite near to the 4 th valves.Be careful,don't fall down while collecting the handle.if not,...The no 8 handle can be found further right to the no 8 valves.You can't walk directly to collect the handle because of steam leaks.You have to jump diagonally across using double jump.And should you fall during the 8th valves,it's likely that you have to start all over again.So,i personlly recomend that you should take the second strategies if you can't try it after several times.
Damm!I took nearly 45 minutes turning on and off my Playstation until i managed to figure out the way.So,don't panic if you can't do it the first time.The first time you try,you might not have the idea of where the handle is and which is the shortest route.So this is the best and most efficent way i have found.Also,it requires luck and it depends a lot also on the elevator.And,you must use double jumps efficently to jump over steam.
Floor No3. -7 E 8 H8-
Floor No2. -6 4 E 5-
H4
Floor No3. -3 E 1 2-
Ground floor E H1
This is based on my memory.
This is the legend.
1 to 8:stands for the numerical values.
E:elevator
G:Ground floor
H1,H4,H8:stands for the corresponding valves no. handles.
-:link together.
All right,you can choose which strategies to take.But remember to take the handles.
1)Go right immediately to collect the handle 1.
2)Go to floor no.2
3)Go right until you cannot go anymore because there is steam.
4)Jump down to the right to reach valve no.1.Use the handle and activate it.
5)Go right to activate valve No.2 and 3.
(No3,there is one way to save time.After you activate 3,your timer will regain to 60.So,look right and see the elevator.Time yourself and make sure after you activate it,you have time to reach the elevator and that the elevator is going UP and not go Down.In this way,you will be able to save the time from going down to the ground floor,about 10 more seconds.)
6)Go to the elevator and reached floor No.2.Go left to reach valve 4.there is a handle there.Activate the valves.
7)This is the most critical part now.You will have 35 seconds to activate the 5th valve.You can't go left or right to go to valve 5 because of the steam.And that appears no way to jump over the steam to no.5.Immediately, go right and up the elevator.wait for the elevator to come up and if the elevator is going down,it's unlikely that you will have enough time.Go right to valve no8.Jump down from 8.Valve 5 is directly below 8.Activate it.Then go right to go to valve 6.Activate valve 6.Once you have activate valve 6,the timer will reach 60.
8)Go up the elevator and activate 7,then 8.Remember to take the handle 8.
Max valve timer will reached after activated Timer
1,2,3,6 60
4,5,7 35
For more information,read steam reactor Part 1.
Note:there is also another way of getting to valve 5.It is faster but more risky.immediately after 4, go to the left pillar and join across to the right pillar of valve 5 and then to the main platform but there is a risk that you might fall.
Note:There is a shorter way to reach valve#1 but again more risky.At the first floor,double jump off the pipe to clear the steam to reach valve #1
Wind scroll
Once you have successfully closed the steam reactor,you will talk to the mayor and the steam adminstrator.now,they knew taht the princess is false.Go to town and talk to the mayor to recieve 600 Drans in exchange for returning the profits to the shop owner.Save your journey.Once the steam leak problem is fixed,you can go to the mine,then go to the fire crest.Use fire power and you can climb up.Take a nap until 2300 and you should see a Minku.Go furthur up and you should see the wind scroll.Absorb wind scroll.Now,there's left only one more ,the sky scroll.use the wind power and creates large hole and you will fall down and become unconsious.Out there,you will see ginderelle and Bubbles,they will try to seize your lumina sword while you are unconsious.Fortunately,musashi wakes up just in time.Out of fear,Bubbles accidentally seal musashi inside the Bincho field.And they has missed one lucky chance of getting lumina.Ginderelle will then report back and bubbles asked ginderelle not to tell.
Question:how to break myself free?
Answer:Only the lumina can break the Bincho field,so just press triangle and you will be able to free yourself.Max BP increases by 50.
Question:Why do the normal people i rescue only gains 10BP?And why Musashi will gains 50 BP when freeding himself?Does that mean Musashi has a 5 times stronger Bincho field than normal people.
Answer:Possibies.
Next,returned to the village.
Giant Ants
When returned to the village,the first thing you will noticed is the music.As you might guessed,something must have happened to the town.Go to the trail where you come down from the gondola.if it is daytime,you should see Tim and Mint.Talk to them and they should say something about the giant ant eating the Gondola.If it is nightime,the two kids will not be there but don't worry.You can still proceed the game and heads up to the Gondola.You will see a giant ants and Mr Lands will talk about the ant looking for syrup or something else.Now,head back to the castle and take the gondola ride down.haha!YOu will crush the ant and the ant will escape into a hole on the cliff.
The Great ants hunt
Go the right side of the Gondola and you can climb up the cliff.You shoud see a minku.You know how to do,huh?Jump inside.The dead ant is there.
Go to the left path and you will see another Minku.Be careful.Don't jump down.This is the exit.Now,return and go the right path.You should see a poisionous cloud of gas.Be careful,they can cause poison.use your whirlwind.
Inside you will see some toad stool.go around and keep jumping.there is a chest on the middle right side and a bincho field(Cook Chiffonado)on the top left side of the screen near the mushroom.Then go to the top right.You will see a big gaps and sspikes on the ground.Use Earth power to stomp the ground,causing the rocks to fall downthen you can go over.Make your way to the exit.In the next room cross over the top of the lift, they aren't working so you'll have to jump to each one to get to the top right side.There is a chest on the bottom left side.Once you go through the top right exit you will face a lot of strong wind.Engage the whirlwind and go straight across, you'll have to do it twice to make it past the winds.Once you go through the top right exit you will face a lot of strong wind.Use the whirlwind and go straight across.Be careful,you will reached a slope as you go along.Absorb hop from the flower to go up the slope.Walk furthur to the end and you will see a flower,a big gap.the right side has a slope.Even if you manage to jump over,you can't go up the slope without hop.But if you absorb hop here,it's difficult to jump over and also it is very easy to fall into the bincho mine and get poisoned,Don't bother to heal yourself using antidote.There will be a snake there after you have crossed.Now here's the trick.
Strategy 1.
Stand at the edge and face the flower.
Absorb it and right to face the other side.
Continue to tap the square
Just as it reaches the top quickly double jump to the other side.
If timed just right you should be just about to land when the
explanation box appears. If you fall into the sludge but still
absorbed the skill just hit the "O" button the end it and try
again.
Requires skills and timing.
Strategy 2.
First,lure the flower and it will start hopping around.
Next,use double jump to jump over to the other side of the cliff.
Then,stand near the edge,facing the left side cliff.
If correct,just wait patiently for the flower to hop over to the edge.
Then quicky use fusion to travel across the gap to absorb the flower.
Requires luck and timing.
use hop to go up the slope.
Absorb the cure worm.There is a minku there.You know what to do next.
Climb up the wall and activate the fan.Sent you over to the left side.Go in.
Tips:You can use a little bit of water scroll on the hoper,causing it to grow in size,making you more easy to assimiliating the hop ability but don't kill it.
Now,it's get impossible hard to jump over.
You can't attack the red ants.(needlant)However,they will not attack you.But do not come too near them.The only way to kill them is to absorb acid shot from the purple ant or GiAnt.Avoid them.The only way is to use acid balls
You can attacked the blue ants.The blue ones shoot acid ball,so kill them.Continue moving until you reached the end of the wall.Then you must jump diagonally from the corner.When you get to the next one,there will be one pole.Double jump and get the bincho field.(conductor scores)When you come to the next end wall,again you have to double jump diagonally from the corner.It's quite impossible but is possible after a few tries.You will see many red ants marching and climbing up.It's a dead end here.Go to the far left and you will have to jump diagonally around from the corner again.Make your way.There will be 2 horizontal poles and ants climbing down.Make use of the pole to swing and double jump to cross over.get the bincho field(Knight rumparoni)and drill a hole using the whirlwind in the center.You are now back to the caverns.Now,go to the bottom right.Note:you might want to return to stock up all of your supplies.This is the way to the next crest guardian.
Notice that the lifts now work.make use of that.The next room which has a number a double jumps for and a cable car ride awaits you.All i can say is use the directional button and avoid as much collisons as possible.Good luck.You will come to a memory box and a lot of heart scattered around.Restore all your HP.Leave your memory and drill a hole in the centre.
Tips:Musashi can assimilate the Depress ability from the red,spiny Needlants.At first,this may seems useless by slowing down Musashi but from another point,the purple GiAnts won't attack Musashi even if you come too close to them.On the other hand,the acid ball can be arbsorbed from the purple ants and can eb used to melt the red ants.When the red ants is melt,it leaves behind a pool of toxin which when Musashi comes intocontact can also get hurt.Also,this acid ball proves useful against ground creatures liek cure worms.
4th Crest guardian:The queen ant.
Here's her attacks
Single claw sweep
Pink clouds
Belly spikes
Acid rain
Avoid getting near her tail,unless you have the wind scroll in effect.The pink cloud will poison Musashi.The fighting area is somehow narrow and restricted and don't get too close to her because there are spikes on her belly.dodge the acid rain by standing between.This is often followed by her single claw sweep.Do not let her ctch you.It can trap you and cause around 50 to 90 damage.Repeatedly press the attack and jump buttons to freed yourself.Use double jumps to jump over the claw.Sometimes,you will see maggot burst.Kill them and some may give you antidote to cure poison.when a section of the body starts to shake,she's attempting to spike Musashi.Jump over to the next cross-section.The queen ant's core is lodged in her tail and is hidden.The only time it appezars is when she goes crazy.
Here's how to attack
First,keep attacking her eyes with your wind scroll ready.After some time,she will bow her head,immediately use normal lumina attack.She will go crazy and covers up her face permantly.During this time,her core will appear(at the back near the cloud of poison gas.)because it is posion over there,you will need to use whirlwind immediately,and keep moving right of the screen.if successfully,you should hit the core and cause her damage.Repeat this pattern and she 's KO.Also,after she has regained consious,she will blow you to the right and force you to fall into bincho mines.You can avoid this if you are using whirlwind.
Congradulations!You are now at the last chapter.Take note that this chapter is going to be the longest of all and unlike the previous chapters,you will have many bosses.
____________________________________________________________________________
Chapter 6:Sword of luminescence
You should see Jon and his dog.They will give you a note about the sky scroll.save now.
Note:By this time,if you have follow all the walkthrough correctly,you should have collected all the 13 minku and rescue 35 people.
Sidequest:After rescuing 35 people,go to the toy store to buy princess
fillet action figure.After getting 13 minku,go to the castle and
talk to buffalo sheepherd,he should tell you that the mother minku
is upset and is probably in the meandering forest.Go to the
meandering forest and you will see her.use normal attack and be
careful of her stomps which can do up to 30 damage.It's hard to
avoid.You will noticed her shadows.use double jumps to jump away
from her shadows.When she's defeated,she will throw down lots of
hearts,Bincholite,and a few thousand Drans.Go into the toy store
and you can buy mother minku action figure.Talk to farmer lacter
and he will say that mrs lacter thought you were her grandson and
she has asked Mr lacter to pass Kojiro action figure to you.
Warning:This is going to be the End.Once you go,you won't be able to come back to the village.Make sure you have got all the minkus and Bincho fields first.Buy plenty of Cheese,one s-revive, and Ex drink.Note:don't buy any mint or Hi-mint as you won't be able to sleep there.Time will not pass and you will not be tired.HP will not rise nor BP will decrease as time passes.The L-quilt is completely worthless here.
Getting the sky scroll
First,speak to farmer McRice.He will tells you that every sky day it mysteriously rains in steamwood forest in the morning.Look at the note Jon gave you.Remember,near steamwood where the Earth crest is.After you have activated Earth crest,there will be a hidden path which leds to the wind crest.You won't be able to activate the wind crest until...Sky day is actually Friday and steamwood will rain from 7am to 12pm every skyday in the morning.Now,wait until skyday between 7am to 12pm.Go to where the wind crest is.If it is skyday and it rains,you will be able to activate the wind crest.Activate it and you will be teleported to a platform in the sky.
Note:once you come here,there will be no turning back.make sure you have save and have at least 2 files,one in the village and the other one here.
Once you land on the platform,you will need to activate the three Earth scroll platforms surrounding the tower.Doublejump from the circular pathway onto the eath platforoms and use Earth scroll; two times on each of these.Remember to use water scroll just in case you fall.After activating,in a door will opened up in the water ramp.Use water scroll and go inside the door.This takes you to the second floor of the tower.Hop on to the outer walkway.Equip the fire scroll and double jump onto the inner platforms.Stand in front of each of the unlit torches and use fire scroll o light them.Once every torch is lighted,you will be carried to the highest level of the tower to collect the sky scroll.Pick up the sky scroll and you will be able to float in the air temporary.At this point,Colonel Capricciola will comes in and says that the princess is inside and wants to exchange the princess's life for the lumina.Now,be prepare to enter the final stage.inside,you will meet many mini-boss and much tougher enemies that you have never seen.So avoid using up too much of your items.
Soda Fountain:Part One
When you first enter,leave your memory in the box.Now,you will need to use your newly scroll power,the sky scroll.it consist of long corridors lined with electrical wiring and carpented with lethal sludge.once you come too near to the electrical walls and gets shocked,you will most likely be fall into the sludge and has to start all over again.Hold R1 until full and then triangle to use sky scroll.Then,hold X to hover.The corridors are very narrow and doesn't have much space for you to move.The only tips i can give you is while holding X,press your directional btton one at a time and not too fast or you will come into contact with the electrical walls.After navigating,you will come to a a similar spot but with spiked that urned in the centre of the corridor.Carry on moving.Time yourself so that you can pass the spiked turnstiles.make sure you picked up C-Drink from the chest.There are two ways to get through the large spiked tunnel but before you go,pick up the W-gel to your left.
Techniques 1.:Hover through and land in safe area using sky scroll.
Techniques 2.:Simply run,jump and double jump across the spikes and holes.
Ignore the enemies inside.Continue through the door when you reach the end of the tunel to fight Ben.
Ben
Ben is strong but is easy to rule up his pattern.Be stingy with your items as there are much more to go.He starts the fight by tossing bombs onto the ground.After each bomb explodes,Ben throws shurikens at you.After throwing shiruikens,he will throw three axes.
Now's here the way to avoid his attack.
Bombs:You can use the sky scroll to hover around but make sure you stay away from the about-to-explode bombs to prevent getting hit.
Shirikens:it's hard to avoid but you can stand between them or double jump over them.
Axe:Double jump over each carefully.
After he has throw his axe,you can now counter attack him.Howeevr,doing so causes him to counter attack with his weapon.This is easily avoided by quicky double jump out of the way but it's very risky.the safer way is to use rumparoni-SP to attack him just as when his propeller blade rises out.As long as the propeller is on its way up,Ben can't counterattack.When Ben is defeated,you will be able to save your game to a memory card.
Soda Fountain Part Two
After saving your game,you wil enter a new area.If you see carefully,this is the dead end but you will be able to see a transparent wall.Go through it and return.You will hear a sound and a symbol will appear on the door that you came in.Go through the door once again.And it will be an entrie new place.You should see many symbols on the door.Now,remember the calender that Mr Govern or the mayor give you.The calender has many symbols.Go through the door with the symbol corresponding to the calender,starting from the left in order.Note;if you go in the wrong door,you will be transported to the beginning and you will have to start all over again.There aren't any enemies here,so don't waste your items.
Warning:you might want to give it a try before you read before.below is a spoiler and you might want to explore on your own.One thing i forget to ell you is that there are a lot of hidden paths that led to the correct door that you want to go.
First room:head to the far right and you will be able to see the door with the Earth crest.Enter it.
Second room:equip the earth scroll and stomp on the switch.It will triggers out a platform that covers the pit,enabling you to cross.walk furthur right and you will see the door with the wind symbol.Don't enter it.It's not the correct door.the correct door is at the far right.Use earth scroll and stomp on the switch four times.The platform on the right will come down,enabling you to gop to the right path.Enter the door.
Third room:The third room requires the use of sky scroll.You will see many spikes.Use sky scroll to safely hover above the spikes to the right path.Don't enter the door.there will be a door at the farthest right.Go there and you will see spikes.They are there to TRICK you.Safely hover above the spikes and it will start to slide in.Then drop down and you will see a door with a "D" shaped symbol.
Fourth room:You must put your swinging abilities to the test.You will see three poles jutting out of the wall.Swing from the lowest pole to the
highest pole and then jump to the higher platform to the right.The door is on the top-right side with the fire crest symbol.if you fall,you will have to take the exit on the bottom right and start all over again from room #1.
Tips:You will have to depend on your self.Noone can help you.There isn't any advice to guide you.The techniques to swing high is to let you swing as long before you begin to jump. Also, watch out the direction where you are swinging.
Fifth room:use the fire scroll to light up the two posts.This causes the
platform to cover the pit and the large block across the pit to move up and down.Go right.you wills ee a door on the right side.Don't enter.The correct door is on the top-left corner,with the water-crest symbol.Make use of theblock to carried you up to the top-left platform.Note that:if you use the sky scroll to hover over the pit,the block will remain stationary and you will not be able to reach the correct door.
Sixth room:use it to extinguish the four flames on the post.Don't enter the door on the top-left corner.After extingusting the posts,the platform will retacts.use the water scroll and jump down to the river and head right to enter the door with the water scroll symbol.
Seventh room:Upon entering the seventh room,simply head through the left door to appear in a new portion of the first room.Note;there will be a fan to blow you right.Don't get knock off the platform or you will ahve to start all over again from room #1.Use wind scroll and head left.There will be a gap.Jump over the gap.Be careful not to fall or you will start all over again.Use the whirlwind and jump to the left side immediately you reach the edge of the platform.Exit the door with the sky crest symbol.
last room:this is the most tricky of all.i wonder how do i show you without the map.Anyway the exit is on the lowest right of the screen.You will see spikes below.Jump down with the sky scroll ready.And then hover right across the spikes.Hover down again and then take left.there will be a door that led you to Ed.
Ed.
This could be by far the easiest boss here.So,do not waste any items on here.he will first powered up and then shoot a wide laser beam.You can't attack Ed while the beam is active because a shield covers him.it is easy to avoid the beam.You can easily double jump over the beam or use the water scroll to absorb a single hit.Just jumps around in circles around ed as he powers up the beam.Ed can teleport and it's imppossible to attack him.Instead,wait for the beam to stop and gets near to ed as possible,ed will exhausted once after the beam stops.Run up next to him and attack him using normal attacks or use crosswise cut.this causes him to teleport ariund the arena,dropping fire bombs that explode into large fire balls.Don't woory.This is easy to dodge.Simple enough!
Soda Fountain part three
Now,here comes the tough enemies.
Tips:There are two abilities thatv you should consider assimailated.One is the 3-way ability from the bincholoid soldier and another is the homing ability from an orange bincholoid.Both comes in handy as a long range attack and could be a source of help when you are running low HP.The enemies have great attacks here and high HP.The bad thing is most use long range attack and could be hard to avoid sometimes.The good thing is that most are very slow,not ALL.
Head to the top of the screen through the courtyard.As you go along,you will see statues.Defeat the statues for extra heart tablets and BP power ups.Remember while you are attacking the statues,the enemies will also attack you using long range attack.Keep moving up until you reach the security gates.There will be two laser turrets on each gate door that will target you with a beam and then damaging you with a ray at that spot.You can avoid the damaging by just double jumping from side to side.All i can tell you that the targetting looks a bit like the stinger missles used in metal gear solid.Simply use your swords and keep attacking the gate and destroy it to advance but remember to dodge.
Tips:You can use Desperado attack to attack the gate door.
In the second courtyard,head to the left to find a new courtyard.This is the
first time you will encounter Big Walker,a red mechanical robot that can throw flames at you and moves very fast.The best way to attack is from behind.The flame thrower will instantly cause you over 100HP.You might only want to defeat each types of the enemies one and avoid it later so that you can buy their action figure when you completed the game.Defeated a big walker will give you some hearts and BP power ups.Use the same strategy to destroy the gate to advance.
You will now enter a garden maze.The maze isn't that hard.Should i make a map?No,i think you should be able to handle it but there are some things you must remember here.There are some hearts and BP power ups.Be sure to take them before you go.This is the time to replenish all of your health without using any items.The enemies here are easy to difficult.Most of the soldiers are the red bincholoid soldiers that uses sword.use long range attack like assimilated abilities that you have got.eg. 3-way abilities and homing.the rest are only blue bincholoid soldiers.Next, there is a treasure with an Ex-Drink in the middle-right corner.Make sure you take them.The exit is at the top.
Once you make it through the maze,you will enter another courtyard.This time,there are laser turrets hidden in the tress.They are the first two trees when you enter left from the entrance.Find the gate in the upper-left corner and use the same strategy to advance.It gets more and more harder as the no of enemies tend to increase.Advance to the next courtyard and you will see beam generators on both sides of the fence.They could sometimes be helpful because they damage your enemies and also you,don't forget!.Just don't go too close near it.wait till it has destroy some of your enemies, then kill the beam generators.Destroy the security gates and continue your way up.
In the next courtyard,the statues will target you.Destroy them to gain power ups and advance your way through two more security gates.After destroying the second security gate,you should see a blue bincholoid soldier.Kill it and climb your way up the cliff.Be careful,while you are climbing up,you might be targeted,Climb from the sides.
After you have climbed up the cliff,you should see the 4 laser turret.They will target you.First,destroy the four laser turrets one by one.Destroying them will give you some power ups.Next,go to the centre and destroy the fountain.After destroying the fountain,wait for a while and it should start teleport 2 big walkers up.Kill the two big walkers.Don't get hurt.Kill each one for 50 HP power ups.Then,take the elevator to descend down.
Now,you must cross a bridge and mae your way up.The quickest way is to activate sky scroll and floats to the far side towards a bridge that connects the two sides of the room.land on the bridge and then use sky scroll to hovr to the far side of the room.If you fall onto ne of the narrow pathways below,you will have to double jump the pole to swing up to the higher platform.You will also need to avoid the steam geysers and enemies.Remember,there are one heart and BP power up.Be sure to take them.
You will now enter a room with cylinders.Destroy the cylinders to reveal enemies and powers up.There aren't many enemies here.the only enemy are the red bincholoid soldiers.Take all the neccessary powers up and stop destroying the cylinders once your HP and BP is full.You might want to save them to replenish your health after you have destroy the steel door.Upon reaching the farthest end,the steel door will be locked and will be full of destructible machine gun.It's hard to avoid the bullets but you can defend it by holding R1.Destroy the steel doors by using lumina rotation, that is normal sword.Tips:if you know that in front is the steel door with machines gun,first destroy some of the enemies there using long range attacks like homing to kill some soldiers.So that as you move forward to fight the steel door,there will be lesser enemies.Climb the stairs and destroy the next steel door.
The elevator at the next end won't be able to move until you have destroy the cone-saped machine in the circular platform.Avoid the lasers bydouble jumping over them when they comes near.Use a long range attack to attack the black panel on the front of the machine such as fire scoll or homing.It's best to use homing.A few shots of homing and it's destroyed.Once it's destroyed ,you can take the elevator on the left.You will meet another steel door.Use the same technique and after passing this door,you will meet Topo.
Topo
This is considered the most innovative boss fight in Brave Fencer.It's like Musashi MEETS PARAPPA.Topo decides to challemge you to a dance.After all, Topo is just a girl.For those who have played parappa the rappa,this shouldn't be hard for you.However,it is slighlier different from parappa.
Topo will begin by performing a button pattern dance using the symbols matched on the controller.If you press X,your character will stepped on the X button symbols.When she finishes,it's up to you to follow her.If you press the wrong button/too fast/too slow/,Topo will turn on the three small fans on the wall,which will blow you back into an electric field,each time causing around 36HP and you will have to start all over again.Pay attention and rap with her.The damage is unavoidable once you do wrongly.There will be a total of 3 songs for you to follow in order to defeat Topo.
S:square
T:Triangle
o:circle
X:X
The 3 songs are:
S,T,O,X,S,T,X,O,S,T,O,X,S,T,O,X,S
X,O,T,S,X,O,T,O,X,O,T,S,X,X,O,O,S
X,T,O,S,X,T,O,X,X,T,O,S,X,X,T,T,S
Wow!So many to...to ra..ap..p
Actually,each song gets more and more harder in terms of faster rythem.It's no use looking at the buttons here and then press the button.You've have got to follow Topo.Some may be able to complete the 3 songs without damaging any HP whereas some may need to take several practises to complete a song.After all this is what you need to know,"YOU'll GOTTA BELIEVE"
Warning:Don't reach this if you have not reached here.After you have defeated Topo,Topo will tell you that you were lure to here by leader's force to beat the last crest guardian.Thanks to Musashi for beating the crest guardian.And..And the journey continues.Sense somehing amiss.
After successfully completing three songs,you will get to continue your quest.Hop onto the elevator and pick up the two C-Drinks from the treasure chest.You will be able to save your journey on a memory card.You'll will then come to a long spiral path.Capricciola reappears and run away with the princess.Make your way through th warp portal to fight the last crest guardian,The tower of death.
The last crest guardian:Tower of death.
This could consider another most innovative,strangest boss fight you ever have.Upon entering,the sky scroll will automatically activate itself to keep you floating.The meter on the left won't drop.it could consider the most easiest boss fight if you master the techniques of floating.The eye or its torso(whatever) will appear randomly on different levels of the tower.It's up to you to float up and down the tower searching for the eye(blue) and hit it while avoiding attacks.Hit the blue eye with lumina and it will inflict damage to the tower.You can move up and down by pressing X and releasing X respectively
Now here's the attacks.
Spinning walls:These are walls that spins around the tower in circle.Some levels spins in opposite directions of another one.Avoid those walls which can cause up to 20 HP.
Electric beams:It will change sape and starts to emit electric beams from some of the proturding walls after being inflicting some damage.This can be easily avoided by floating in the same direction as the walls or dropping down levels when cleared.
eyes:It will start to emit large red fields from its open eye.It can cause around 32 HP and cause Musashi to confuse and reverse the direction.All of them will opened up their eyes at the same time,however,one will be shut.
Look from a high spot where you can at least see 6 to 8 eyes.Look for the eye taht is close.Go and stay in front of the closed eyes as close as possible and you should be able to avoid the red field.This is the only way to avoid the red field.
The tower will first use the spinning wall attack pattern.After some damage,
it will use the electric beams.When it's running low,it will use the eyes and then repeatedly changing his attack pattern.It isn't as hard as you thought.Try not to waste any healing items in the last crest guardian as you have two more final boss to go and your HP and BP will be completely healed.
Warning:Do not read this part to avoid any suprises.After you have defeated the tower of Death,(HP and BP completely restored and BPincreases by max25), you can now activate the sky crest in the centre.Before you are going to activate the sky crest,you will see Colonel cappriciola and Fuhrer Flatski with the princess.Capriciola refuses to obey fuhrer flatski and he turns up to be JON,the TREASURE HUNTER.he said that he has been waiting for a chance to kill Fuhrer for his revenge.That's it,Jon is the prince of thurstquencher empire.Fuhrer has killed his parents.However,Rootrick attack Jon from behind.Musashi has no choice but to give the sword of lumina to Fuhrer.
Fuhrer activates the sky crest and broke the seal of the dark lumina.Jon then told Musashi that the legendary Brave Fencer Musashi seals the dark lumina into a sword and divided its power into five scrolls and asked each crest guardian to protect the scroll.Now,that the complete lumina seal is break,dark lumina is back to destruction.Butonly one man can stop this destruction and that's Musashi.Dark lumina stepped onto Fuhrer and Jon nd kill there.Before Jon dies,Jon asked musashi to take care of Leno.Dark lumina then chases after them.
Dark Lumina PART 1
you need not defeat this guy.Instead,he will start chasing after you.I'll just don't understand why squaresoft loves this chasing thing.First in parasite eve,now even lots more in brave fencer,from head dropping down the tower and now this.maybe it's where the fun is.The first part of the chasing is pretty easy.Just continue running left and double jump on the higher platform before the walkway gets destroyed.If you fall,you will have to start all over again.After running ,you will see Kojiro and the Fillet.
Fillet is again captured by Kojiro.Kojiro challenge fillet to a duel.
However,the dark lumina absorbed Kojiro and transformed into the Dark lumina:Part Two,the second form.The princess is being blown away to a tower there.now,the second part chasing begins and is slighier harder and more challenging.just follow the path and don't slow down.At the base of the twoer,use double jumps to jump to the right of the ledge and keeps jumping up to the tower where you meet the princess and she will ask you to challenge the dark Lumina.I don't have any techniques to give you.Just follow a rhythm and double jump on the ledge.If you fall,you will have to restart again.
Dark Lumina 2
This is the toughest fight of all.
Here are some notes to remember
1.Always stay to Dark lumina left side.(that is your left)
2.Don't linger behind the boss.
3.Work out a fighting rhythm.
Attacks:
It has some very distinct way of attacking that is so hard to avoid.it will grab you with his right hand and toss you onto the ground for 13HP,which wil most likely cause you to fall of the platform,adding furthur damage.It also has a tail that sweeps over a large area that can cause 45 to 60 damage that is so hard to avoid.Typically,it will use this attack if stand close to the boss/too long after the grabbing attack.
How do you attack Dark Lumina?
Hit the blue orb on its forehead.Each time you attack,it changes color from blue,to pink and then red.(about 4 times)When it turns red,this is the time to attack.However,it will immediately jump in the air and crash down with two powerful powerful shotwaves(you know when the camera shifts above the boss;double jump over the fire shock and attack the orb before it returns to blue or you'll have to start all over again.) or it will spit out several fireballs.Attack the red orb using lumina and it will cause damage to the boss.repeat this pattern until the boss dies.
How do you attack the orb in his forehead?
there are basically two strategies.
First strategies:
Keep away from the boss from a distance until he charges at you.When it fails to grab you using his right arm,this is your chance to attack.He will stun for a while and use your sky scroll to attack or jump over.This is slow and not working often.The advantage is it is safer.
Second startegies:
Keep to the left of the boss.When it misses the grabbing skill,jump right to smack the orb.The advantage is fast.The disadvantage is it will mostly likely to use its tail sweep and you will have to be careful.of course,you can also jump and smack the orb if he don't use his grabbling skills but most likely,you will be grab by his right arm.If you timed your timing well from your position,you should be able to smack the orb when his head is bending low.
Once you have defeated Drak Lumina Part 2,you will fight the final boss.
Dark Lumina Part 3
This is slighier easier than lumina Part 3.You can attack the boss when it returns to white color by using fusion.use fusion and tap the square button until the gauge bar fills to turn Dark lumina into a small orb.Attack the orb to cause it damage until it dies.However,it will start to change color.It will first begin with raining fireballs.
Red Fire Rain
the fire rain is easy to dodge;atch the ground for shadows.Charge dodging the flames and ready to counter the boss when it turns white.
Purple Sword waves
dodging the sword waves requires double jumps.it could cause quite a lot of damage.
Green hurricane wings
The hurricane winds don't attack Musashi directly.rather it blow him off the tower's edge.Activate the wind scroll.
Light blue dark clones
This is much harder to dodge then other attack.When drak lumina spits into identical forms,they will rush at you in straight lines through the centre of the circle.Avoid by double jumping.It can cause the most damage.
Yellow Fire shockwaves
It resembles the second form's fire shock wave.Double jump over.If Musashi gets hit,you will be sent flying off the platform.
dark Blue big rain
the big rain attack is slighier harder than the fire rain.When large drops hit the ground,they split into several smaller drops of rain.
Congradulations!You have completed the game.watch the game ending and credits as you will see Musashi seals the dark lumina into the sword.When the squaresoft logo appears,press X to save.You will start from chapter 6 but change to Fin.You will be able to buy series 6 action figure and special action figure.Rescue all 35 palace members and 13 minkus if you have not done.Look at the unlocked special action figure.Some are randomly unlocked and hopefully you are lucky.I have collected all the action figure and are still short of two action figures,Jon and Leno and the final boss,Drak lumina 3.If you have a better/easier way of unlocking all these special action figure,pls e-mail me.Credits will be given.All i know that the two action figure are randomly selected.
____________________________________________________________________________
Phew!I never think this FAQs will take me so long.Feel free to give mecomment and info about the game.I think i really need a break after FAqs.A few more to go.keep it out.I spent quite a lot of time,trying to find as many Minka,bincho field,learn techniques,listing out shops ectc.So,i hope you will appreciate it.

Bestiary
Okay!this could be the final update of the FAqs.I have added almost all the enemies that you will encouter in this game,including strategies to defeat it and its assimilated abilities.The #sign indicates that it is repeated and and *sign represents boss.
Beginning of chapter 1
Blue soldier 1
Attacks:Gunshot
Assimilated ability:Gunshot
Strategy:These soldiers are slighier more danger than Red soldiers,simply they have a projectile attack.It's easy to avoid the blue soldier's gunshot by determining the direction where they are shooting.A few hits using lumina will do.
red soldier 1
Attacks:Running charge
assimilated ability:stun
Strategy:easy to defeat by cutting down or thrown.It will charge at you when you are too close to one.You can anticipate an attack when an exclamation point appears over its head.
Bee plant
Attacks:poke
Assimilated ability:perfume
stategy:Easy to defeat because they are immobile.Don't come too close or they will stretch out and poke you.Low defence makes them vulnerable to ant type of attack.
Stone head
Attacks:red circle beams
Assimilated abilities:none
Strategy:destroy the four statues and step on the emblems to destroy the stone head in the centre.Run around to avoid the beam.
Sphere bat
Attacks:swop
Assimilated ability:none
Strategy:Sphere bats don't cause much damage but they often move in groups and are very fast.just attack using fusion or lumina when they are approaching you.
*Steam knight
Somnolent forest
Green soldier3
Attacks:Running charge
Assimilated ability;javelin
Strategy:Similar to the red soldier,they won't attack you until it notices you.An exclamation mark appears over its head.This is similar to the dashing pierce except it carries a spear.It isn't hard to defeat and is easy to avoid.
Herb plant
Attacks:Head poke,three-way projectile.
Assimilated ability:mint
strategy:similar to the bee plant but has an additional attack called the three-way projectiles.An exclamation mark will apear when they notices you.The three-way projectiles is easy to dodge and isn't hard to defeat at all.
Hopper
atacks:Pounce
assimilated ability:Hop
Stratgey:Getting too close to a hopper will cause it to bloom and begins to hop around.It is more active in the night than in the day.Theya re extremely weak and is easy to defeat.Keep in mind that they regenerate from the starting area very quicky.
Magician
attacks:shrink
assimilated ability:shrink
Strategy:They are very weak.Do not stay too close to them for a long time as they must shrink you,which makes you unable to defend and attack.The shrink attack is very easy dodge.The magician will immediately teleport to your from\nt after seeing Musashi,which makes them easy to kill.Just wait for them to teleport to the front and use your sword to attack.
#red soldier1
Maneater
Attacks:Devour
Assimilated ability:satiate
Strategy:You can't inflict any damage to these creatures.The best strategy is to throw them back into the woods or waters or use fusion to assimilate satiate.It's a good bet to assimilate satiate when you are running low on BP.
Sleepie
Attacks:sleeping gas,head whack
assimilated ability:Sleepy
Strategy:getting too close to a sleepie will result a bonk on the head or a shot of sleeping gas,which makes you fell asleep.You can use lumina to deliver a huge damage directly to its head and spit the enemy in half without putting yourself in danger of alling asleep.
Twinpeak Mountain
#Green soldier 3
#Blue soldier 1
#herb plant
#magician
#Maneater
#red soldier 1
#sleepie
King Maneater
Attacks:Devour
Assimilated ability;satiate
Strategy:Although the King Maneater is immobile,it is nearly mpossible to pass.The only strategy is to use shrink on the enemy and then crush it to bits.
Meandering Forest
#bee plant
#Green soldier 3
#magician
*Mother Minku
Restaurant basement
Bowler
Attacks:Giant seed
Assimilated ability:Bowl
Strategy:It serves as a useful purpose for assimilate the bowl ability to bowl through crackled walls and defeat enemies.To avoid them,simply find a safe spot to dodge.They are large and is extremly easy to attack.
CurseFire
Attacks:Burning bounce
Assimilated ability:None
Strategy:These enemies pop out of fire pits.They burn Musashi.You can extinguish the flames by using water scroll ability.
Fire Vambee
Attack:Grab and bite
Assimilated ability:B.O.
Strategy:Fire vambees are even tougher than normal vambees because you can't go too near them.It's possible to attack them using lumina from a distance but not reccomend.the best way is to avoid them.
Flying vambee
Attacks:grab and bite
Assimilated ability:B.O.
Strategy:These vambees would hover over Musashi and attacks Musashi when the time is right.Stay in one area and lure them down to counter attack them.
Lamp bat
Attacks:swoop,fire bombs
Assimilated ability:Firefly
Strategy:Their main purpose is to serve as light through darkened paths,so it's best not to destroy them.Unfortunately,they are difficult to evade when they swoop down or when they drop their lanterns.When you encounter lamp bat,it's best toa void their attacks or assimilate the firefly ability to light your path.
Lone mist
Attacks:hit
Assimilated ability:sublime
Strategy:These are easily defeated ghost.They can float anywhere.They rarely attack and 'sublime' serves as a useful ability to assimilate.
Ooze
attacks:Poison
Assimilated ability:None
They drop from the ceiling.Theya re slow and easy to avoid and they cause poison when you touch them.They leave behind antidotes when they die.
Vambee
Attacks:Grab
Assimilated ability:B.O.
Strategy:it's best to avoid them whenevr possible.Theya re slow but if you get too close,they can grab Musashi up to drain Musashi's HP.Even if you cut them into half,its torso will continue to chase after you.The shish Kebab technique causes lots of damage to a vambee so much that the vambee won'thave time to spit into two.
Wisp
Attacks:Hit
Assimilated ability:none
strategy:wisps can light up darkened rooms and unlit ptaths.They can still infict damage to Msashi if get too close.Avoid them.

Frozen Palace
Cool Plant
Attacks:frozen 3-way
Assimilated ability;Mint
strategy:this seems to be the modification of the herb plant with the 3-way projectile now able to frozen people and causes lots more damage.use the same strategy.
Copycat
Attacks:mimic
Assimilated ability:clone
Strategy:Copycats are one of the most difficult enemies in the palace.,because they can mimic all Musashi's moves,plus if you get too close tothem you will get an electric shock.The best way to kill is to use long range attack like fire scrolls to kill it while keeping away from them.
Haya wolf
Attacks:D-kick
Assimilated ability:D-Kick
Strategy:Haya wolves are quick creatures with every powerful kick.It's best to corner them and hack them with lumina.
Mapper
attacks:Pounce,posion
Assimilated ability:Map
Strategy:Again,this one is like a modification of the hopper.Now,you can't get too close to them or you will get poison.
Penguin
Attacks:Dive,explosion

assimilated ability:none
Strategy:use rocksalt.it is harmless but does prevent Musashi from reaching the island of Dragons.

#Sphere bat
Toad stool
attacks:Posion gas,head whack
assimilated ability:Toxin
Strategy:again,this is another modification of the sleepie.Instead of making you asleep,it makes you poison and could be more nasty then sleepie.
Upper mine
#B-eater
#Cure worm
#hopper
#sphere bat
GiAnt(Purple ant)
attacks:Acid shoot
Assmiltaed ability:acid
Strategy:These ants are rather powerful and they throws acid at you.These acids can kill the red ants(needlants).Use lumian to deliver a good shot on them.
NeedlAnt(red ant)
Attacks:hit
Assimilated attacks:depress
Strategy:these ants are invulerable to any attacks.The only way to kill them is to use acids absorbed from the purple ants.The acid swill cause them to melt,forming a pool of green toxin,however,when musashi comes into contact with this pool,you can get hurt too.If you absorb the depress,you will not be able to move fast but those ants won't be able to attack you.
*Queen Ant
Soda fountain Part 1
Pigloter
Attacks:machine gun
assimilated ability:none
strategy:These pigloters hover around areas,firing machines gun at Musashi,that cuse about 20HP.They are airborne nd you will have to wait for them to come down for a brief moment to jump and attack them.Avoid them.
*Ben
Soda fountain Part 2
*Ed
Soda Fountain Part 3
Big Walker
Attacks:flame thrower
assimilated ability:none
strategy:these mobile machine robots are considered quite fast and will use flame throwers on you which can cause up to 70HP and above.The best way is to go behind it and attack.
Blue Bincholoid soldier 2H
Attacks:3-way
assimilated ability:3-ways
Strategy:these could considered be the modification fo the 3-way projectiles used by the plants.These cuases more damage.These soldiers are tough but there are slow and can't turn around quickly.take them down by lumina or throw them away.When throwing away,he may drop his 3-way projectiles weapons.This is the best chance to attack.Don't let him pick up his aweapons.Without his weapons,he won't attack you.Keep in mind that they have lots of HP.
Green Bincholoid solider 4H
Attacks:Big bomb
assimilated ability:grenade
strategy:These enemies are easy but don't follow them behind.They wander around amimlessly dropping time bombs behind them on the ground.Stay away from the bombs and you won't get hurt.They have a fairly high HP.
Orange bincholoid soldier 3H
