                             The Greenhouse ** #3B  **
==============================================================================

  #3B ** The Greenhouse ** Total Locals: 15 Total Relics: 50


From the little Tree Man, "Aku's Drones are trying to destroy our greenhouse
that place is our livelihood.  It must be protected"

  As you enter the world a cutscene shows the forest burning around Jack.  As
soon as you gain control of Jack head to the right and free 3 locals.  2 fire
bots and a flamethrower drone attack.  The flamethrower drone has two flame
throwers for each arm. A good sword smash will kill them.  The crates near the 
lake have an armor in them.  The crates near the entrance contain a small 
sushi.  Before you head right go left and you will see a relic worth(5). Walk 
up near the ledge with the 2 rusty hooks and double jump up there.
Then Head to the right and up the path.  The crates along the path contain
a small sushi.  Collect Relics(6-11) on your way.  Up ahead you will face off 
with 6 fire bots and 2 flamethrower drones guarding 3 locals.  Free the locals
and the crates beside them contain a large sushi.  Now as soon as you free the
locals 9 more fire bots will appear.  As well as 3 flame bots.  Once you 
defeat them go back to where you freed the 3 locals and you will see a break 
in the wood behind them. Drop off and you will land on a platform for the 
Combo Scroll Cobra Chop!! Very Nice move.

  Now head back up and continue along the path collecting relics(12-17).  Next 
you will have to fight 2 flamethrower drones and 4 fire bots. Dispose of them
and continue up towards where 3 more locals are located.  Free the 3 locals
and defeat the 8 fire bot and 1 flamethrower drone that are guarding the 
the locals.  The 2 crates up the stairs contain a large sushi.  Now cross the
bridge with the checkpoint and collect relics(18-22).  Across the bridge is 
6 fire bots and 2 flamethrower drones.  The crate there also contains another
large sushi.  There is an elevator to take you back to bottom but first go 
inside.  Continuting through you will face 3 fire bots and 1 flamethrower bot
in the first room. Heading into the second you will come across relics(23-25).
6 fire bots and 1 flamethrower drones. You see a key hole but no key.  So head
right and you will see a checkpoint.  Enter the room and you will find a chain
saw drone that has the key.  Defeat him and free the local.  If you have freed
all the locals so far you will get the Ultra Crystal Sword which is very cool
looking and powerful.  Destorying all the crates in the room will yeild you 
armor and many small sushis. Now head back to enter the key and a cutscene 
will ensue.  Jack releases a water fall that puts out all the fire and a 
platform drops down. Heading back outside you will face 2 flamethrower drones
and 1 fire bot.  Take the elevator down.  You can get the relic or the combo 
scroll if you missed them.  Now hit the switch in the middle. 

  Inside the Greenhouse you will face 3 tree spirits and you head up the ramp.  
They are pretty easy to beat but they can go underground so watch out.  
Up on the next level you will fight more tree spirits and 2 posionus 
mushrooms.  There are 2 relics worth 5 each bringing your total to (35).  
Free the 3 locals and continue up. On the next level you will face more tree
spirits and 2 more mushrooms.  Watch because you have 2 tree spirits above you
hurling flaming balls that explode.  Free the local and collect the 5 point
relic bringing your total to (40).  Take the next elevator up.  There are more
tree spirts here and 2 more mushrooms.  Grab another 5 point relic bringing 
the total to (45). Jump on the platform and hit the switch droping leaves so 
Jack can go up.  The crate next to the checkpoint across from the switch 
contains armor.  Now head across the leaves and up top you will fight 
multiple tree spirits and 2 mushrooms.  Defeat them and grab the last 5 point
relic bringing the total to (50).  Also free the last local.  Now hit the 
switch in the middle of the platform and you will be taken up.  Up top you 
will fight 3 of Aku's Minions.  This battle is a little tougher but use your
combos and the crystal sword and you should have no problem.  After that exit
the level.

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
|  Back in the tree forest the Tree Spirit level has opened up, but before|
| you go there, if you have collected all the relics so far go and buy a  |
| level 2 upgrade.  I purchased health but of course you can buy whatever.|

==============================================================================

#3C ** Find the Tree Spirit ** Total Locals: 25 Total Relics: 150


  From the tree man, " Aku's Drones have reached the Tree Spirit's Tree! Maybe 
if you rescue him he will listen to reason"

  When you first enter this level head down the ramp and you will come to an
open area. There are 4 tree spirits here.  Defeat them and you will see an 
metal bridge ahead of you that requires 2 keys this time.  So lets head left
first. The aku crate contains a small sushi.  Heading towards the hut you will
come across 2 tree spirits.  In the hut is another chain saw drone.  He drops
a key when you destory him.  Also free the 1 local there. Now head back to the
middle and 4 more tree spirits will attack.  Now to the right is another hut
with another chain saw drone there.  Get the key after you destory him and
free the 1 local.  Now head back and enter the 2 keys to unlock the bridge.
Up ahead is 2 tree spirits.  After you defeat them double jump to the platform
containg a super relic(25).  Now continue along the path and you will face 4
more tree spirits.  When you come to a clearing with 3 aku crates 4 more tree
spirits attack.  I found the best method to defeating them is to use your
Windmill attack.(XOOX).  The aku crates contain a large sushi.  Walk across
the bridge where 1 local is being held.  Defeat the 6 tree spirits that attack
you.  The aku crate contains sushi and armor.  You will see another bridge 
requiring a key so head across the one with the checkpoint.  You will come
across *sigh* another chain saw drone with 1 local.  After you get the key 
head out to the platform and free another local then head back across the 
bridge and unlock the next area.  Watch out because another 6 tree spirits
will attack.  When you unlock the bridge go and get another super relic 
bringing your total to (50). Now head down the wooden hallway into the next
area.

  You will now be attacked by 8 tree spirits. After you defeat them grab the
armor in the Aku crate and relic(51).  Jump to the next platform grabing 
relic(52) on your way.  Watch out as the mushroom platforms will fall if you
stay on there too long.  On the next wooden platform are 2 more tree spirits.
Continue up the mushroom platforms collecting relics(53-54) on the way.  At
the next wooden platform 2 more tree spirits will attack.  Continue along the
mushroom platforms collecting relics(55-56) to the next wooden platform which
contains a checkpoint and an aku crate with a small sushi.  Continue up 3 more
mushroom platforms for relics(57-59).  When you reach the top you will be 
attacked by 10 tree spirits.  After you defeat them free the 3 locals.  There
is a small sushi and armor in the aku crates.  Before heading down the path 
jump on the mushroom platforms collecting relics(60-62).  On the next wood
platform is 2 more tree spirits.  Continue along the mushroom platform for
relic(63).  On the next wooden platform is 1 local an aku crate with armor
and a super relic bringing your total to (88).  Now head back and go down the
wooden path.  You will come across a bull tree spirit.  Watch out because 
blocking is useless.  Just stay on the offensive and you should have no 
problem.  Along the path are leaves on each side.  Each one has a relic in it.
The one with the water has a frog man as well.  When you come to the end you
will be attacked by 8 tree spirits and 1 from above. You should have a total
of (94)relics before getting the one near the water with the tree spirits. In
the water are 2 frog men as well.  Now continuing along the path 4 tree 
spirits attack.  Grab all the relics on the leaves bringing your total to (98)
Jump across the platform and free the 1 local.  Ahead you will see a door 
requiring a key.  So go right to the platform with the aku crate(which has a
large sushi).  Head along the wooden bridge to the checkpoint.  Inside the 
tree you will have to defeat another chain saw drone.  Grabe relics(99-100)
and the aku crates contains armor and a small sushi. Now head back to the 
locked door.  In that area you will face 3 frog men and 1 of Aku's Demon
Minions.  Defeat them and unlock the door.

  After heading through the door you should have freed 10 locals and collected
100 relics.  Now take the elevator down.  In the immediate area there are 
relics(101-109) and two aku crates containg armor and small sushi.  Near the 
109th relic 2 fire bots and 1 flamethrower drone will attack.  Ahead another 
fire bot and flamethrower drone will attack.  Grab relic(110) and free the
3 locals trapped.  Destroy the crates blocking your way which contain 2 small
sushis.  In the next area are 1 flamethrower drones and 4 fire bots.  Collect
relics(111-115) and free the 3 locals.  Head into the tree.  In the pool to 
your left collect relic(116). Now head outside and you will fight 4
flamethrower drones and 3 fire bots.  Free the 3 locals and collect 
relcis(117-123). You will also be attacked by 2 flamethrower drones and 2 fire
bots.  Now head up to the open area nd you will be attacked by 4 fire bots and
3 flamethrower drones that are blocking the path into the tree.  Best way to
defeat them is sword smash them one by one.  Collect the relics(124-126). Now
head up the ladder.  Defeat the 1 tree spirit there and head up the second 
ladder.  There is 4 tree spirts up here with 1 local and 2 relics brining your
total to (132).  Head back down and defeat the tree spirit near the elevator
inside.

   up the elevator will bring you inside the tree. Defeat the 4 tree spirits
to drop an elevator from the top.  Before you go up free the 1 local and grab
the small sushi from the Aku crate.  Head up the elevator and there is an aku
crate with a small sushi to your left.  There is one tree spirit here. Outside
is 1 trapped local and a check point.  Now head up the mushroom platforms
collecting relics(133-134).  On the wood platform you will fight 2 tree 
spirits.  Climb up the ladder and fight 2 more tree spirits.  Collect 
relic(135) and free 1 local.  Now head up the next ladder.  Continue up the
mushroom platforms collecting relics(136-138).  You will see an area off to 
your side ignore that for now.  Continue up the mushroom platforms to you
reach to the top where you will get the next Combo Scroll Kick Slash!!. Also
there is a relic up there brining your total to (144).  The aku crate contains
armor.  Head back down to the area that you saw.  Defeat the 2 tree spirits 
there and free the last local then go on the elevator. 


  Get off the elevator and take the ladder up.  Defeat the tree spirit and
the go on the mushroom platforms collecting relcis(147-148).  Now continue 
along the path defeating 2 more tree spirits and collecting the last relics
(149-150). Then head up the next elevator. A cut scene will unfold where 
Jack meets the tree spirit. I wont give anything away but you will laugh when
you see what the tree spirit is.  I know I did.

==============================================================================

If you ever went to the Samurai Jack Game website www.sega.com/gamesite/
samuraijack you could send an e-card to someone and Sega would send you an
email for a code in the game.  Well here is the code that I recieved. It lets
you get the powerful crystal sword.

Defeat your foes with the Crystal Sword! During gameplay, use the 
following to activate: 

GameCube 
Left Stick Down(analog) + Right Stick Up, A, X, B, Y 

PlayStation 2 
Left Stick Down (analog)+ Right Stick(analog) Up, X, Circle, Square, Triangle 


Another thing that I have found out so far is in the Village Square you will
see some chickens running around.  Hit one of them with your sword and 
some crazy stuff will happen(hint: just make sure you're not low on health :)
(I think this relates to how Jack never harms innocents, but that is just my
opinion.)
