Dark Cloud 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Dark Cloud 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

>> Attack and Attack and defeat all enemies without HEALING
You must not use any healing items on any of 4 playable characters.
NPC support healing is also considered invalid. HP gained from Drain
or Slow Heal enfused weapons is considered legal...

>> Attack and Attack and defeat all enemies using only ITEMS.
You should not use any weapons such as melee/ranged-types and only
items for attacking. Please note that this also includes Ridepod. You
can however use objects that can grab and throw as a weapon. Get a lot
of "Improved Bombs", bombs made from Erik (NPC), which could set for
large amount of cash or do massive damage.

>> Attack and defeat all enemies using MAX'S RIGHT-HAND WEAPON
                                       MAX'S GUN
                                       MONICA'S SWORD
                                       MONICA'S MAGIC
                                       RIDEPOD
                                       MONSTER TRANSFORMATION

This is a hard condition to fulfil. When it says using a specific
weapon, you must be using that weapon to attack EVERYTIME. Every hit
must used from that attack. Although only the last hit gains experience
points for the weapon, you must be using only specific weapons. You are
not allow to use items to assist you in attacking.

GEORAMA MATERIALS
Sometime in Chapter 2, with the aid of the Firbits from Sindain, Max
will be able to built objects of the past and place in the current
place via Georama system. You can get supplies for fixing up from
chests in the dungeon. Just hit Triangle button to view Georama
listing after you have view the dungeon status condition. The
appearance of these materials are random and you can get them by
defeating monsters there or opening chests in that dungeon.

GEOSTONE
The Geostone contains past data about that particular place and allows
you to build new objects such as new type of buildings, pier, etc.
These egg-shaped mystical rocks will available upon saving the Firbits
from the "Holy One's curse" at Great Fish Swamp. The Geostone is
essential for Georama as it helps you to unlock conditions and build
new objects.

vi)      Special Dungeon Items
`````````````````````````````````````````
Within the dungeon, you can find special dungeon-specific items used in
the dungeon. They can be "keys" to the exit, map, keys to access other
areas within the dungeon, etc.

"Keys" - Key Handle, Channel Key, Slash Branch, Fairy Saw, etc.
These allows you to access to newer/locked dungeons or locked areas
within the dungeon. Keys for locked areas are found in treasure chests
while keys for the dungeon exit can only be obtained by defeating one
of the enemies there. The enemy holding the key is random by the way...

Magic Crystal
It allows you to gain access to all the "dots" for the radar. It show
all enemies (in form of dots) even if you haven't uncover all the maps.
To find out what the dots represent, please refer to the part iii of
Section 2: Dungeon Basics for more details.

Map
It show you the walkways for the dungeon. Simple?

Star Key
You will get this to use for Star Exits from Chapter 6 onwards. You
will allow you to exit through the Star Exits for dungeons in Rainbow
Butterfly Wood, Starlight Canyon, Ocean's Roar Cave and Mount Gundor.

vii)     Exits
``````````````````````````````````````````````
Late in the game (Chapter 2 onwards), you will find exits with Sun,
Moon or Star icons near the exit. The way to get through the exit is
the same as the normal gate except there are additional conditions:-

Sun   - You can only exit via the gate during daytime
Moon  - You can only exit via the gate during nighttime for Chapter 3.
        For Chapter 4 onwards, time is not important to exit.
Star  - You need to use the Star Key obtained in Chapter 6.

viii)    Rage Counters
```````````````````````````````````````````````
If you choose to lock-on a target enemy, you will find the enemy's
status bar along with a few red orbs on top of it. These represents the
Rage Counter. As you attack the enemy, the orbs will be removed one by
one. Once all rage counters have been removed, the enemy will turn
glowing yellow. Its attack will deal twice as much as normal (except
for special attacks monsters such as Joker). King Mimics has only 3
rage counters. Max can get "Pumped-Up" status by using a Stamina Drink,
obtained via playing Spheda, invention or found in dungeons (Chapter 7
onwards).

M o n s t e r    B a d g e s
------------------------------------------------------------------------

i)     Monster Transformation (Monica ONLY)
``````````````````````````````````````````````
In Chapter 2, upon reviving the Great Elder Jurak in Sindain, Max and
Monica will receives the Monster Badge item, which allows you to store
badges for Monica to perform Monster Transformation. The 1st badge
can be obtained via completing Georama Conditions.

Upon completing Geroma Conditions for Tailor Shop in Chapter 2, you
can purchase the first monster badge from the Tailor Shop in the
future. Once you have the badges, you will be able to transform Monica
into an enemy monster!

>> Attacks, Status, Hit Points, etc
 The monster transformation comes with the monster's skill which can
 be used by hit X (melee) or Square (range). The monster's HP is the
 equivalent of Monica. Attack and Defense can be improved by gaining
 levels. Ability points earned from battles can help to increase the
 level.

ii)      Badges Listing
``````````````````````````````````````````````
There are a total of 12 badges that Monica could use. To transform
into a specific monster, you need to use that particular badge:-

You can get information on retrieve monsters the same method as Max
does for inventions. You just need to switch the character as Monica
instead. You can also get these clues by transform into that monster
and talk to another monster of the same class type for more valuable
information.

|------------|--------------------------------------------------------|

Other Methods?
----------------
Well, it is true that you can get these badges by using it on different
enemies:-

Ram    - Give a Gift Capsule of 3 Premium Chicken (Beast)
Goyone - Give a Gift Capsule of 3 Evy (Aquatic)

iii)      Monsters Stats
``````````````````````````````````````````````
The stats below represents the monster's initial stats and their
attack abilities. Upon gaining a certain left, the monsters level up
and it can be transformed into a stronger monster. The stats below are
the maximum stats that you can achieve for that monster class.

Monsters can evolved up to the maximum of 4 times - lv 26, lv 51, lv
76. You can build up the monster up to level 99 at most.

iv)     Status Bar regarding Monster
``````````````````````````````````````````````
It takes 100 experience points for the monster to gain to the next
level. The monster's initials are extremely weak for the moment that
you get them. My advice is to kill the enemies with Monica and
switch to the Monster. Monica can transform for short period of time
indicated by the red status bar.

Monster class can be further upgraded when the monster reaches a
certain level and there are open paths. For example, Sewer Rat can
transform into either Ram or Beach Rat after gaining a certain level.
If you reach the ultimate class for Sewer Rat (Beast) - Death Mouse,
you can be awarded with bonuses such as gems & special items.

R i d e p o d    B a s i c s
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steve the Ridepod joins at Underground Channel in Chapter 1. Steve is a
mechanical robot used by Max to engage battles with larger size enemies.
You can change its parts and upgrade its capabilities by changing its
parts.

Body Armor
- It allows the "body" of Ridepod. It is the main armor.

Core

  how many Shield Kits that you can equip.

Legs
- You can change to roller skates, propellers even a buggy! It helps to
  improve movement of Ridepod

Energy Pack
- It represents Ridepod's Hit Points. You can upgrade this by getting
  advanced versions of the energy pack. You will use fuel for movement
  of Ridepod on the battlefield. i.e. fuel decreases gradually as you
  move with Ridepod on the battlefield. You can refuel with Ridepod
  Fuel obtained from dungeons or bought from Morton's Sundries (Chapter
  5 onwards) / G-Parts (Gundorara Workshop, Chapter 5) for 2000
  Glidas. You can also get them from Cedric for 2000 EXP.

Weapon
- The weapons used by Ridepod cannot be upgraded manually. You can get
  upgraded versions by exchanging EXP points with Cedric/ G-Parts.
  Most of stronger versions can be obtained from via Make Menu. You can
  repair Weapons by using Repair Powder (a portion only) or visit
  Cedric and choose "Repair Ridepod Parts".

To make Ridepod stronger, you must let gain more EXP from defeating
enemies and receiving those blue energy crystals with Ridepod. EXP are
essential to exchange for better parts and equipment for Ridepod.

For the listing of Ridepod's parts and weapons, please refer to Item
Bestiary.

                    -------------- III --------------
                        C a m e r a    B a s i c s
                    ---------------------------------

i)    Camera and The Album
`````````````````````````````````````````
Surprisingly, the camera is one of the most important objects in the
game. It allows you to capture nifty photos for your album and also use
the photos as a basis for Make menu where Maximillian can create new
inventions based on 3 photographs.

The camera will be given to you mid-way in Chapter 1 after Cedric has
requested Max to make a Energy Pack for his new mechanic buddy, Ridepod.

In Chapter 2, Max is able to get the Album book from his bedroom in
Palm Brinks. The Album allows you to store 50 photos instead. You can
store a maximum of 80 photos. The 50 photos require you to save on
another file for an additional 409KB on your memory card.

ii)    Using the Camera
````````````````````````````````````````
First of all, the camera needed to be equip on one of the item slot.
You can take pictures while even in dungeons or towns. For towns, just
hit Square to activate Camera Mode. While in dungeons, make the Camera
is highlighted while it is equiped on the item slot, hit Square to
enter camera mode. If other 2 items is highlighted instead, you will
end up using that item.

>> Camera Controls during Camera Mode

   Button     What it does?
   ````````   ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
   Square     Capture the shot. You can capture a maximum of 30 shots
   L Analog   Move camera view
   Triangle   Keep camera view still/ view the Camera Album menu
   Circle     Exit Camera view mode
   R Analog   Up (Zoom In) / Down (Zoom Out)

iii)    Transferring Photo Shots to Ideas Book
```````````````````````````````````````````````````
As there is a limited capacity of photos that you can took with your
camera (i.e. 30 photos), you need to store them in the Ideas Album,
which accessible automatically from Camera Mode. You can delete useless
or transfer ideal photos into your album. Photos can be used idea
generation are marked yellow light bulbs whereas Scoop Photos are
marked with red object on top of the yellow light bulb. There is an
arrow icon under the Photo Album book where you can transfer the photo
into the Ideas Book. You can access the inventory directly from the
Album. However, there will be no thumbnails...

iv)    Inside Scoop Memo
`````````````````````````````````````````
The Inside Scoop Memo will be given to you once you have gotten the
camera from Cedric in Chapter 1. It will contain the listing of all
Scoops (rare photo shots). As these photos are rare, this means some
of them can only be be obtained once. Thus, never forget to equip the
camera for Boss fights. That is the only time that you can get a Scoop
photo. Scoop photos location will be given to you by Donny based on the
number of scoops that you have obtained or as time lapse.

>> Why collect Scoops?
There is a reason why to collect Scoops - you can get *rare* items
from Donny. Remember the guy who rescue Max at the Prelude chapter? He
can be recruit as NPC (refer to Support Character Recruitment for
details) and he will be providing links for new scoops. He will be
awarding Max with more points for the Scoop Photos.

>> Scoop Photos Listing
Scoop Photo refers to rare photo shots taken in the game. These photos
acquired to have some difficulty such as flashing your camera in the
midst of a battle in dungeons even during boss fights. Most of scoops
for boss fight are rare. Once you miss it, most of the time is that
you will NEVER be able to get a second chance on taking it.

To take these scoops, make sure the toggle highlight falls on the
camera under Max's item holder. Note that you must be using Max to
take the scoop. For certain bosses which would be better to use
Ridepod, just use Max for the photo scoop and depress the R3 button to
switch to Ridepod for the kill!

Brave Little Linda
===================
Location: Palm Brinks, Underground Channel (BOSS Fight), Chapter 1

controlled by Flotsam in Underground Sewers) when it launches the
missile from its nose.

Baron's Hangin' On
=====================
Location: Underground Channel dungeon, Steve's Battle
Memo:     Get a shot of Baron Balloon being flipped over by a Vanguard
          during a Trample Attack!
Notes:    N/A

Comments:
Get this scoop when Max's defense is over 30. First of all, proceed
near the Vanguard and attack with your weapon (or Spheda Club). The
enemy will do either 1 of the 2 attacks - attack with both arms or
arms planted on the ground and flip. If scenario 2 happens, quickly
switch to camera mode and take a photo of the Baron (which is riding
the Vanguard).

Night Stalker
=====================
Location: Underground Channel dungeon, Steve's Battle
Memo:     This one thinks it's a ballerina. Snap it the moment it does
          its spinning attack.
Notes:    N/A

Comments:
Take the photo when the Dark Stalker starts to use its spinning attack
when it attempt to attack you in close range. First of all, dodge its
flame balls and approach it close. It will use its spinning attack
eventually. Seize the chance. Advisable to get it after your characters
are strong enough

Ruler of the Pond

Memo:     It's kind of like a haunted picture, that haze around Palm
          Brinks Park...
Notes:    Ghost!

Comments:
This is first ghost photo that you can take. As you take a picture, the
crosshair (indicated by the target indicator) will be surrounded by
lines that are leading to center right for a split second right? If you
managed to hit the "ghost" (indicated by a glowing white object when
the point of intersection of those lines), you will get the scoop.

The ghost can be found at the center of the pond around haze...

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 2 Scoops
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spooky Grass Smile
=====================
Location: Rainbow Butterfly Woods, Rolling Shells
Memo:     Man-Eating Grass has a creepy smile. Looks like it's eating
          something. That's when you get the shot.
Notes:    N/A

Comments:
This photo is relatively easy to get. Just dodge the "spits" thrown by
Man-Eating Grass. After a while, the head will start to shake a bit as
it was laughing. Take a photo of it.

Tore's Nap
=====================
Location: Rainbow Butterfly Woods, Strange Tree
Memo:     Tore may be a big bulky beast, but it sure does like its naps.
          Sneak in and snap it then!
Notes:    N/A

This requires you to take the photo from some distance not too far or
too close. Just walk (do not run) and catch the photo when the eyes of
that giant tree is closed...

Dangerous Pumpkin
=====================
Location: Rainbow Butterfly Woods, This is a Geostone?
Memo:     When it's swinging its weapon, Pumpkinhead's a dangerous one.
          Catch it in the act, kid.
Notes:    N/A

Comments:
In my opinion, this is one of easiest scoops to get. Pumpkinhead will
tend to shake its weapon when you are far from it. Make use of the zoom
in feature of your camera to take this photo from afar.

Floatin' Earth Digger
======================
Location: Rainbow Butterfly Woods, This is a Geostone?
Memo:     They're always moving around underground. Catch one of them
          Molers up in the air a rare sight indeed.
Notes:    N/A

Comments:
You need to apply some hit-and-run technique to get this scoop. Just
fire at the Moler using Max's gun. The molers will burrow its way
underground to get close to you. If it is not close it enough, it fire
a beam of energy - dodge it! If it is close, most likely it will do
a jump from mid-air. Take a photo while the Moler is in mid-air.

Gyumo's Yell
=====================
Location: Rainbow Butterfly Woods, Legendary Killer Snake
Memo:     Right when Gyumo's screaming. Maybe, it's trying to
          intimidate everyone. Get this moment on film.
Notes:    N/A

Comments:
To get the Gyumo to yell, it is relatively simple. Just throw at
it. Dodge its attack and it will yell most of the times...

Master Utan
=====================
Location: Sindain, Great Fish Swamp (Chapter 2 onwards)
Memo:     Aim for Master Utan when it's in pain from eating the
          Forbidden Fruit.
Notes:    N/A

Comments:
Take a shot of the giant ape which set at the giant tree at Great
Fish Swamp. You will find there before you proceed to the next area
from there.

King Mardan
======================
Location: Sindain, Great Fish Swamp (Chapter 2)

          be a little gross, but I know you can handle it.
Notes:    It will be a gonner, after you have given it the Priscleen.

Comments:

gonner forever!

          a great shot.

seed and Sundrops. Take the photo of the stem. You need to use this
photo to recruit Claire.

R. Butterfly United
=======================
Location: Sindain, Rainbow Falls (Chapter 2)
Memo:     You probably want to get a shot of the butterfly fused back
          together. That'd make a much better picture.
Notes:    ONE-CHANCE scoop

Comments:
At the beginning of the boss fight, the Rainbow Butterfly comes as one.
After hitting the petals of Lafrescia Flower, the butterfly will
separate into 7 smaller butterflies. Once that happens, attack any
butterfly except the red one. The butterflies will surround back the
center of flower to combine in Rainbow Butterfly again. Take the photo
shot of that process.

=======================
Location: Sindain, Jurak Mall (future) Chapter 2 onwards, Georama
