This place is tough. You will controlling on Monica as it has a red
seal. The game will be over if Monica is KO'd. Make use of Monica's
blade and build up on Beast, Smash and Exocrism rates for her melee
weapon. Golems and Elfas can be handled in the same way. For them to
finish their attack and wack them for a 3+ hit combo and do a back-
flip to avoid their attack. Holy Gemron can be handled with Monica's
magic or charged attack.

In additional to the red seal, you will find 2 exits. The Sun and Moon.
You can exit via the Sun Exits at any point of time while Moon Exits is
also accessible during night time. So watch out...

I recommend you to take the sun's path first. The sun path leads to
Barga's Valley while moon path leads to Yolda Valley.

 The Blue Seal has locked use of Monica and Monster for this floor.
 You can only play this floor using Max or Ridepod. If Max dies, it
 will be gameover automatically. So make sure that Max enters the
 floor with full health. This also applies to Ridepod.

 The battle can be easily won by using Ridepod. Ridepod's Barrel
 Cannon can shot these Gemrons with at ease. You should have not
 much difficulty in completing this floor. Upon defeating all enemies,
 the blue seal will be broken.

 All the monsters here use range attacks and you need to use the Fwd +
 X or charged attack to hit them. You can make use of Max's gun for
 easy damage or throw a boulder to stun them and hit them with the
 wrench.

 Barga's Valley
 ------------------
 There is nothing much that you can do at this point of time. Thus
 return back to the floor entitled "Elephant Army in Valley". Revisit
 that floor and exit via the Moon Exit. To exit via the Moon Exit, it
 must be night time in order to do so. Thus I would advise you to kill
 sometime before continuing...

 This battle is quite easy as you have met most of the enemies before.
 The only difficulty is that you cannot heal Max or Monica, even
 Ridepod. Since all of the enemies do not cause status ailments, you
 just need to be more careful in close combat using Max or Monica. It
 is quite good to have Dr. Dell as your support character for his
 Cure ability. Defeat Golem and Elfas with Ridepod while other
 enemies with either Monica or Max.

 Spheda Prize: 1x Poison Coin

 Most of the monsters that you have encountered before are easy to
 handle as you have know most of tricks by now... The new enemy,
 Dragon will perhaps be a thorn in your throat. You need to defeat
 the Dragon to get Giant Meat (the gate key). Dragon does not heavy
 damage and could also causes Stop with these attacks. Its ability to
 shot fireballs is an attack that you should also watch out for. Equip
 Max with a Non-Stop Amulet helps a lot for these dungeon.

 Stop will causes the affected character to be stunned and vulnerable
 for all incoming attacks. Thus, make sure you are prepared for it...

 Yorda's Valley
 ----------------
 You cannot move any more further. Max is getting a bit more worried
 about Lin. It is time to start some Georama Building.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Balance Valley: Reconstructing Origin Point
* Restoring Lao Chao's Bistro
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wonder why this place is called Balance Valley? The place is divided
into 4 plateaus. The plateaus must be balance in order to resume any
building. In other words, you need to place your objects carefully.
If the weight for 1 plateau is too heavy, the whole plateau will be
lower than other 3 plateaus. Get the idea?

Step 1: Restoring Prayer Site, Suspension Bridge, Starlight Temple &
        Sacred Gate
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, plant 15 trees along the plateau. You may be running out
of Forest Dew due to your inactive participation at Sindain. You need
to replenish your supplies from Conda. Plant them one by one on each
plateau. One of the plateaus can have 6 while the remaining 9 trees
separated evenly among the remaining 3 plateaus. Build 1 brick house
and a Chinese Stand. Place them in a manner that the plateaus remained
balance.

Return to Balm Brinks. You need to recruit Ferdinand and Stewart. Both
of them can be found in Max's house. Save up 2000 Glidas and a Roasted
Chestnut before heading there. Roasted Chestnuts can be obtained
randomly inside Rainbow Butterfly Woods (Chapter 2 dungeon).

Recruiting Stewart
--------------------
At the entrance, talk to Stewart as Max. He will tell his young master
that he need money for bid for an item he wants. Give the money. Once he
got the money. Exit the house and re-enter again. Talk to him and he
will give back 600 Glidas.

Recruiting Ferdinand
----------------------
Proceed to the kitchen and talk to Ferdinand who standing near the
stove and cooking table. Give him the Roasted Chestnut, he will join you
party!

With the 2 personnel recruited, proceed back to Balance Valley. Place
Ferdinand at the Chinese Stand and Stewart inside the house. You can
get new shoes for Max from Stewart and Premium Chicken (an item that
restores HP back to max) from Ferdinand's ability - Cook.

Visit the future and you can find chests scattered around the temple
containing Fruit of Eden, Potato Pie and Witch's Parafait

Step 2: Restoring Sacred Torch & Crystal Prayer Site
-------------------------------------------------------
Build 4 Pot Torches and a Church. Next build them without causing the
plateaus to lose its balance. Proceed to Palm Brinks. Cross the
drawbridge and head for the Church. Talk to Priest Bruno. He join you
if you blow out all the candles...

Just stand next to the candle and blow it off. According to the
character recruitment FAQ done by Otacon120 ,
you can blow off the candles by R1, L3, R5, L7. R stands for right
while L stands for Left. The numbers are count from the bottom. For
the diagram, please refer to his FAQ.

Once you are done, build the Church and 4 pot torches surrounding the
church. Move Priest Bruno inside the new church. You can get some
status ailment restoring items such as Medusa's Tears (cures
petrification) and Soap (cures gooey). Holy Water can also be bought
here. Place 4 Pot Torches surrounding the church's four corners.

Revisit the future and collect your bonus gifts from chests.

Step 3: Restoring Lao Chao's Bistro and accumulate 30 Culture points
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You just need to get 30 culture points to get access to Lao Chao's
Bistro. Place a Star Lamp at Stewart's brick house. Build another house
and paint that house purple. Provide some metal fencing for these 2
houses. You should be able to hit 30 culture points without much
difficulty.

Future - Starlight Temple (Lao Chao's Bistro)
==============================================
Finally, you have restored the Bistro's Origin point. Once you reach
there, you will have a cutscene and our heroes met Lao Chao. However
in order to make the miracle dish, he needs a flower - White
Windflower obtained in the present time. Head for Barga's Valley.

Make sure you check for treasure chests before departing from the
future.

Floor 3-13 - Barga's Valley (Introduction to Spheda)
-----------------------------------------------------
At the valley, there will be a cutscene between our heroes and the
condor, Barga. There is a time distortion at her nests and you need to
close the hole up. You will be introduced to the game of Spheda. Refer
to Part IV for Spheda Basics or the in-game help. You will be given
some help.

First you need to get something to wack the time sphere. There is a
key item "Handy Stick" found near the watery area surrounding the nest.
Pick it and equip it. Examine the ball to begin playing Spheda.

TIP:
To hit the black hole. Aim for the hill on the left hand side of the
nest. Use its reflection to hit the Black Hole.

If you cannot do it, choose to quit and Monica will did it for you.
Once the Black Hole is removed, Barga thanks your heroes who spotted
the White Windflower and receive it as a gift. You will also received
a spheda club - Turkey (upgradeable) from Barga. From this time
onwards, conditions marked with ??? will be replaced with Spheda. You
will be play this mini-game upon eliminate all enemies in that dungeon
and you will be given an opportunity to hit Spheda!

Head back to the Future and give White Windflower to Lao Chao, who
eventually makes the "Miracle Dumplings". Proceed back to Balance
Valley and give it to Lin. Lin will recovers and seem to lost her
memories about her master, Crest. Save your game and head for Yorda's
Valley.

BTW, Lin will be your permanent support party member until you reaches
the lighthouse.

Floor 3-10  Yorda's Valley
-----------------------------
Make your way towards the Yorda Tree & it will trigger a cutscene where
Lin have some memories with her master. Suddenly a monster comes out
from Lin's memory - it is a Memo Eater and you have to fight it!

 B O S S                            Scoop Photo - Memo Eater
 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~    Take a photo shot of Memo Eater at
 Deveourers of Memories             any point of the battle
 Memo Eater                         THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU CAN TAKE

 Strategy
 `````````
 Surprisingly the battle is EXTREMELY EASY or perhaps my Max's wrench
 is too strong! The boss has a body weight press that deal heavy
 damage and a breath weapon that does damage + Poison and Gooey. By the
 way, do not forget to snap a shot of it. This is your last chance for
 this particular scoop!

 Once the battle is over, Lin recovers most of her memories. Head
 eastwards from the tree and you will be able to exit the area. Next
 proceed back to Balance Valley.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Balance Valley: Reconstructing Origin Point
* Restoring Tool Shop
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This step is simple. Since Lin has agreed to help your party, you
have already satisfy the condition. First of all, you need to get Parn.
To get Parn, you need to get Golden Paint which can be obtained from
Golden Eggs in Jurak Mall.

Restoring the Golden Eggs
- Elder Jurak's Branch must be restored.
- Place a resident inside of a Straw House.

 Undoubtly, you have satisfied this condition because you have placed
 Adel inside the Straw House. Just simply go up the golden eggs and you
 will get Golden Paint, which is essential to recruit Parn! Get Parn to
 join in by visiting his house. There is a ladder in his house that
 leads to an area where you can get 10x Purple Paint. Give Parn the
 Golden Paint. He and his "wife" - Julia will join your party! You can
 purchase new paint from Parn! You can get a photo scoop "#25 Find the
 Golden Eggs Scoop"

Place Parn inside the house that painted purple (he likes purple as you
can get purple paint from his house). If you haven't place the Star
Lamp, make sure you do it now. Proceed to the future and the Tool Shop
will be opened. There will be a cutscene between Max and Monica about
the powers of a Starglass. Buy it for 500 Glidas (I have forget the
price, duh ^_^:). You should be able to find a chest containing the
Emerald Gem outside the tool shop.

Once you got the Starglass, it is time to move on...

 Like the previous battles, watch out for Dragon (which could causes
 stop with its claw swipes). It is highly recommended to make use of
 Ridepod's Barrel Cannon long-range attack. If you want to attack
 from close-range, make sure Max/Monica is equip with a Non-Stop
 Amulet.

 Lighthouse in Cape
 ========================
 Make sure that you have purchased the Starglass. Once you reach the
 lighthouse, there will be a short cutscene. At the entranceway, there
 will be an indication that you need to place the Starglass. You will
 be taken back to the past where Moon Crystal is underattacked by
 Griffon's henchman and you need to fight Gaspard and Evil Flames!

 B O S S                            Scoop Photo - Flying Battleship

 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~    Flames as Max.

 The battle will be divided into 2 separate battlefields. Max will be
 fighting the Evil Flames which will be harming Lin while Monica will
 go one-on-one against Gaspard, her father's murderer. Make sure you
 have equipped at least 10 Bread for Monica on her item slot so that
 you can use it with Square button when you need it. Gaspard can deal
 a chain combo with his sword but most of them can be blocked. Like
 Monica, he could also use Magic. Just simply wait for a stun moment
 before you launch all your strikes on Gaspard. Mid-way through the
 battle, you will be switch to Max. Seize the opportunity to take a
 photo shot of the Gaspard's flying battleship and handle those evil
 flames with Ridepod's Barrel Cannon. You can finish each of them
 with a single hit! Just defeat them all and the scene will switch
 to Monica where you could resume the fight. If you miss the Flying
 Battleship Scoop, there are 2 more chances coming in the next few
 chapters.

 Once you knock Gaspard's life to 1/2, you play as Max to knock off
 all the flames. Next, you need to knock Gaspard's life to 1/4 and
 Max need to fight the flames for a 2nd round. After Max has
 extinguished all the flames, you will be allowed to defeat Gaspard.

 After some cutscenes, you will find out the truth behind the past.
 Now with the Moon Crystal and Lighthouse restored, re-visit the
 future.

 The star lamp must be place on one of the houses. It is on the rear
 of the house.

 Recruit Sheriff Blinkhorn
 ----------------------------
 This one is tough. You need to move from the Police Station of Palm
 Brinks to the boat found at Palm Brink's Lake (where you find Fabio)
 and return back to the station within 2:01 secs. It sounds impossible
 but you can do it.

 You need to make use of right analog stick to rotate the camera
 slightly so that Max will be taking a shorter distance. You may want
 to recruit Fabio first before you decide to recruit this person.

 Shortcut Route from Police Station to the Boat at the lake
 ------------------------------------------------------------
 - Move across from the Police Station towards the drawbridge.
 - Take the left-hand path from the Church (make use of right analog
   stick to rotate the camera)
 - Cross the small forest until you see the Monument and the deserted
   tunnel. Take the right path of the Monument. You will find a path
   that leads to the lake
 - At the lake, cross the bridge that located right from Dell's
   Clinic and you will find Fabio along with the boat. Examine the
   boat and end the message quickly. Rush your way back to the Police
   Station
 - Tap X before you reach the Police Station to initate the
   conversation with Blinkhorn as soon as possible.

 It take me quite a while to recruit Blinkhorn. He will typically
 shows you the monsters data that you can get from Monster Notes.

 Recover some Fruits of Eden and power boosting items before leaving
 the Moon Crystal Area. By the way, take a snap of the Moon Crystal,
 which is also a scoop photo.

 The Journey to Veniccio Station
 -----------------------------------
 Once back at Balance Valley Station, talk to Cedric and you will
 begin your next journey to Veniccio! At the station, proceed to enter
 Veniccio. Max will be enjoy some shades. There is a cave entrance
 nearby and Monica asks Max to check it out. You will be given the
 chance enter Pau's house. Inside you will find Pau and his sea dragon
 (Shiguru), Shingala. However it leaves the house and you need to head
 into the section's dungeons - Ocean Roar's Cave to save it back!
