3] CHARACTERS                                                          [0300]
______________________________________________________________________________
--- HERO ---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hero is the main character, and he/she is the person you control in the
game. Once you start a new game, you can choose the sex of the character and
their element. You can choose between a male or female, and whether they will
be Dark or Light based. Like many characters in RPGs, the Hero doesn't talk
at all. As a result, he has no personality (or at least you don't know what
it is).
The Hero is best described as an all-around character. Most of his/her stats
are all average save some, which are higher than normal. The Hero can
definitely be considered one of your best characters in the party, and he is
a good asset from either the front or back row.
--- LASSI --------------------------------------------------------------------
Lassi is a strange rabbit-like creature who keeps to herself most of the
time. She is a shy person and always takes everything in before speaking.
Lassi likes to work at her own pace, despite annoying her classmates. Other
than the Hero, she is probably the least talkative out of the group.
Lassi is a Wind-based character. Lassi is very weak physically, but she is
arguably the best magic user. She gains the most MP and is very agile, but
has the least amount of HP. It is best to keep her in the back row and blast
all enemies with her powerful magic spells.
--- MOKKA --------------------------------------------------------------------
Mokka is a sturdy robot who was found by the school principal, Principal
Biscotti. He was programmed by Biscotti and is now a student at Will-o-Wisp
Academy. Mokka may be stubborn and impatient at times, but he is kind-hearted
and a hard worker. He proves to be a liability sometimes due to his artificial
intelligence and programmings.
Mokka is an Earth-based character. He has a very strong physical attribute
and with that said, should be used for his brute force. Mokka is very slow
and isn't the best magic user. He has a very low amount of MP, so he is best
in the front row to soak up all of the enemies' attacks.
--- CHAI ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Chai is not human; in fact, he is a salamander. Chai is the only known
salamander to have magic powers, so he is sometimes considered a "freak" by
his own kind. He is very sensitive and somewhat of a crybaby. Chai is also
mentally strong and is able to overcome any obstacle in his way with the help
of his friends.
Chai is a Wood-based character. Similar to Mokka, Chai is a very strong party
member. He is also quite intelligent, so he is able to unleash powerful
spells as well. Chai may in fact be the best party member; with above-average
stats and excellent power and intelligence. Definitely keep him in the front
row at all times.
--- PICO ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Pico is a hot-tempered young man and thinks he is "all that". He taught
himself how to use magic at a young age, so at times he believes that he's
the center of the universe. Although very arrogant, Pico has a soft side for
Sorbet and is always trying to look after her. Pico always tries to be the
hero in dire situations.
Pico is a Fire-based character. He is more like the Hero, since he is a very
average character. All of his stats are well rounded except for his strength,
which is fairly high. Keep Pico in the front row with Mokka and Chai.
--- SORBET -------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorbet is a very strong woman who comes from a poor family. She is also a
serious person who is willing to risk herself for a good cause. Sorbet can be
somewhat depressed at times. Her parents cannot pay off her tuition, so
Sorbet tends to be stubborn at others, knowing that she will not be able to
attend Will-o-Wisp Academy in the future.
Sorbet is a Water-based character. She is more like Lassi than anyone else:
she's a tough magic user who isn't very strong physically. Sorbet is best
used as a healer. Because of that, you should keep her in the back row where
she can stay safe from most attacks.

4] THE BASICS                                                          [0400]
______________________________________________________________________________
--- ASTROLOGY AND ELEMENTS ---------------------------------------------------
Since the game is called Magical Starsign, I'm sure you had an idea that
stars, space, planets, and all that astrological garbage would be included.
Well, you're right. In the game, there are five planets, one for each element
(except for Light and Dark). The planets will orbit around the sun in a
clockwise motion through a real-time system.
That doesn't sound too special, but it gets better. Each planet has a "field"
in the astrology map. If a planet crosses their field, then the character
associated with that element will receive a power boost.
In clockwise, it goes: Wood (Green), Wind (Yellow), Earth (Brown), Water
(Blue), and Fire (Red). You will know if a character gets a power boost when
they start to glow in their corrisponding color. A power boost greatly
increases the damage dealt with magic attacks.
You will learn a spell not too late in the game that lets you move the
planets on your own will as opposed to patiently waiting for a planet to move
into its designated field. When using the spell, you can move planets at the
cost of your MP. It's very useful, but the spell wastes a lot of MP.
There are seven elements in Magical Starsign. They are: Dark, Light, Wind,
Earth, Water, Fire, and Wood. Here is how the strengths go, since a diagram
is too hard to make (I already tried to but it came out bad)
Water ---> Fire
Fire ----> Wood
Wood ----> Wind
Wind ----> Earth
Earth ---> Water
Dark ----> Light
Light ---> Dark
Yeah, Dark and Light are strong against each other.
--- BATTLE BASICS ------------------------------------------------------------
Of course, the most important part of RPGs are the battles. Here's how the
battle formula goes; clockwise: Attack, Guard, Redo, Move, Flee, Item, and
Magic. I'll give you a lowdown on each command.
ATTACK: This is your physical attack. You only have one attack throughout the
------  whole game, so get used to it! Physical attacks, for the most part,
are weaker than magic spells, but they are useful if you want to use
a non-elemental attack. Characters in the back row cannot use Attack.
GUARD: All Guard does is well, make your party member guard. Guarding raises
-----  your Defense, so only people in the front row should use it. If you
didn't know, Defense (resistance against physical attacks is different
from Spirit (resistance against magic attacks).
REDO: Redo is a pretty useless command. Redo is just for lazy people; Redo
----  simply replays the last command your party member did.
MOVE: Move lets characters switch between the front and back rows. Use the
----  command, then use the touch screen to drag the designated character
the desired row. If there are already for people in a row, then you
cannot put a party member there; you must move one character to the
other row first.
FLEE: Of course, Flee lets your party run away from a battle. It works
----  flawlessly most of the time, but occasionally you will get stuck. There
are certain battles where you cannot flee, like boss battles.
ITEM: The Item command allows a character to use an item in the menu. Simply
----  pick an item and a character to use it on, then let the magic happen.
You will probably use this command a lot.
MAGIC: Magic is the primary form of attacking. You can use magic spells to
-----  attack enemies or assist your party. Select Magic, then choose a spell
to use (and who to use it on). People in the front row can only target
one object with their magic, no matter what spell. On the contrary,
characters in the back row can use their magic spells on everyone,
whether it be the entire party or a group of enemies. Beware though,
for the magic spell used will be weakened when used in the back.
And of course the game had to incorporate the touch screen some more in
battles, so that's where Spellstrike comes into place. Spellstrike is a good
way to increase the damage of your magic spells. When you cast a magic spell,
you will see an elemental aura spin around your character. Just before the
aura disappears (as it's swirling away into nothingness), tap the character.
If done correctly, you will see a shimmer of light appear around said
character. This is a Spellstrike, and it's pretty easy to do once you get the
hang of it.
There is also a way to defend yourself similar to Spellstrikes. If an enemy
attacks, tap the character you want to block with a split second before you
are hit. If done right, the character will block the attack and glow green.
The attack may have been blocked, but you will still take damage
(considerably less damage though). If you're a fan of the Mario & Luigi
games, then you should get the hang of it real fast.

5] WALKTHROUGH                                                         [0500]
______________________________________________________________________________
NOTE: Just for the record, I have beaten the game with both a Dark Male and a
Light Female. This guide focuses on a Dark Male, but it can certainly
be used if you are under the control of a Light user. The only real
difference are the boss strategies.
==============================================================================
5.01] PROLOGUE                                                         [0501]
==============================================================================
You will be brought into a classroom in Will-o-Wisp Academy, a school of
magic on the planet Kovomaka. You will meet the Hero, Pico, Sorbet, Chai,
Mokka, and Lassi. Their teacher, Miss Madeline, arrives to class yet again.
She apologizes and class begins.
You will be introduced to the characters and learn a little bit about them.
Afterwards, a scene will start. Miss Madeline begins speaking to the
principal, Principal Biscotti. Biscotti talks about Madeline travelling to
the wind planet to deal with a villainous wizard.
She learns that the wizard is Kale, a former student of hers who was a
successful student. Now he has allied himself with a group of pirates and is
up to no good. The students barge in and beg Madeline to not go. She tells the
kids to worry no more, aseverything will be fine.
After class, Miss Madeline summons the students to join her in the meditation
room. Yay, time for battle basics! You can also find some battle basics in
Section 4 of the FAQ.
First off, Madeline will call you up and start a battle with a Magic Dummy
(it's okay, they don't attack). Use the Skill (Attack) command and select the
opponent to attack it. Next, use your magic spell, Shadow Die. You will lose
some MP by using the spell, but party members regain MP throughout the
battle.
Madeline will then ask you to use a Green Frog on you, even though you have
full HP. Select Item, then choose the Green Frog. Select yourself to use the
item on you. Use Guard afterwards to shield yourself from attacks, then use
Redo. To end the first lesson, use Flee.
Go onto the next lesson, where Chai will accompany you. Remember, characters
in the back cannot use physical attacks. Also, people in the back row spread
out their magic to a wide range. Use a physical attack to attack the Magic
Dummy on the left.
Note that you cannot use attacks on the enemies in the back; you can only use
magic on them (unless you defeat the guys in the front first). So, use a magic
spell on the guy in the back to damage him. Now for Chai, use his Pepperthorn
spell on the whole group. Finally, move the Hero to the back row to end the
lesson.
Onto the third lesson. You'll be paired up with Sorbet this time. You will
learn about elements here: their strengths, weaknesses, and all that junk. If
you want to know an enemy's element, then select them using an attack or
spell. You can tell what element they are by the symbol/color around them.
Have Sorbet use Hailstorm on the Fire-based Magic Dummy. It will deal twice
the normal damage, since Fire is weak against Water. To wrap the lesson up,
tap on the middle symbol on the bottom-left to check out the Astrolog Screen.
You'll learn that Light users get a power boost in the day and Dark users at
night. Simple, yet effective.
Now it's the final exam! The whole team will be pitted against three Magic
Dummies. Treat it like a normal battle, so put all the information you just
learned to use. This is also a good time to practice your Spellstrikes. Once
the battle ends, everyone gains a level. Madeline says that you can view all
of this info in the Encyclopedia, which is found in the Pocket Menu. To open
the menu, tap on the bag symbol on the bottom-left corner of the screen.
Madeline will state that she's going to the Wind planet, and foreshadows that
if something happens to her, that she wants her students to be prepared for
the worst. The day ends, and Miss Madeline departs for the far planet.
Biscotti feels bad for Madeline and what she has to do; the only thing he
said was, "It should have been me".
==============================================================================
5.02] KOVOMAKA: THE MISSION                                            [0502]
==============================================================================
--- WILL-O-WISP ACADEMY ------------------------------------------------------
Three months pass, and Miss Madeline is still gone. Pico and Chai storm into
the meditation room and state that Lassi has gone missing. Oh joy, another
person MIA! Sounds like Lassi wants to find Madeline, so she went to find a
rocket. Supposedly a little rumor at Will-o-Wisp is that there is a rocket
ship hidden somewhere in the school. The group figures that's what Lassi is
looking for, so they go track her down.
Talk to Mokka and he decides to help you find Lassi. Exit the room and head
to the left. A little note: I'm sure you noticed, but there is almost always
a map of the area you're in on the top screen. Just to let you know where
you're going. Go up the staircase on the left and proceed across the balcony.
Enter the last room on the right and talk to Chai. He says that Sorbet found
something suspicious upstairs and went to check it out. Head up the stairs
and go through the door, then talk to Sorbet once you reach her.
It looks like you can climb the wall, so do so. The trio will reach a large
machine upstairs. Mokka and the Hero will inspect the machine while Sorbet
points out a helluva weird door with a face on it. Walk up to the door and
press L or R to inspect it.
All of a sudden, its eyes open and it'll start talking to you. It will ask you
to touch the symbol of darkness in your pocket. Touch the bag symbol, then tap
the Dark symbol next to it. The Hero will use his Dark spell and the door will
open. Finally; I hated how slow he talked.
Once you make your way through the door, you will reach the Ladder of
Mystery! Ooh! Climb the ladder to reach an amazing room willed with six
rockets! Pico and Chai will find you and the party is shocked at the sight.
Walk up to a rocket to start the launch sequence...accidentally, of course.
You'll see a cutscene where everyone in school is freaking out about the
sudden rumbling. You'll see Lassi, who accidentally blasts herself off into
space via rocket.
After the liftoff, the group will be knocked to the ground. Get up and walk
towards the rocket on the right. Inspect it and you'll be asked to go inside.
Choose Yes to hop in. As the rocket boots up, the rest of the party will get
up. Tap the red lever in the ship to blast off! We probably shouldn't have
done that...
==============================================================================
5.03] ERD: CRASH LANDING                                               [0503]
==============================================================================
--- ERD ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Your rocket will crash on the Earth planet, Erd. Tap your broken body on the
ground to wake up. Walk to the right a little bit to spot another rocket, as
well as Lassi. Inspect her rocket to get some Kovo Water, then give it to her
by pressing L and R next to her. She will be magically revived and hops to
her feet. Anyways, Lassi joins your party after the conversation.
Test out the healing device in Lassi's rocket to restore your HP and MP.
After walking around in a circle, you'll probably notice that all your paths
are cut off. Go to the north to get pushed back by the wind. Open up your bag
and use Lassi's Wind magic (tap the Wind symbol). Her power may get rid of
the sandstorm, but it doesn't prevent a giant monster from apearing out of
the sand to attack!
The Antlion isn't exactly a boss, but it's a good way to test out your battle
skills, since those Magic Dummies at the academy didn't even attack. Its Tail
Swipe attack is pretty nasty, so try to defend by using the touch screen.
Also practice your Spellstrike, since Lassi can deal a lot of damage to this
Earth-based monster (Wind is strong against Earth, remember?).
You can deal a good 300 damage with Lassi, since she should get a power boost
from the planet. The battle shouldn't last more than three rounds before the
Antlion kicks the bucket.
Once the battle ends, walk to the north to reach a large building. Lassi will
resist going inside, but head on it anyways. Exciting, I know.
--- KAHVE RUINS --------------------------------------------------------------
Lassi says that she is scared, but noone cares about her. Continue to the left
until you're stopped by some hostile robots. Take care of them in a battle,
then head into the elevator in front of you.
Once on the second floor, continue to the right until Lassi stops you. She's
a lame scaredy-cat and wants to go back, but say no. Go into the next
elevator to reach the top floor. And check out what's on the roof: a rocket!
Lassi gets the incredible idea to steal it, so walk over to the front of it.
As you do, robots will ambush you as well as a high-ranking red robot. The
commanding robot will punch Lassi and the Hero, and you'll get locked up. Way
to go.

5.04] ERD: ESCAPING FROM EVIL                                          [0504]
==============================================================================
--- PRISON -------------------------------------------------------------------
The two of you will be locked up in separate jail cells. There's a giant
spike pit on the other side of the cell, so crossing isn't exactly an option.
A gigantic robot is patrolling on the other side of the pit. Use your Dark
magic to stun the robot. Coincidentally, it accidentally falls in the pit
right in front of you, creating a path to the other side.
Cross the fallen robot and walk towards the switch on the top-right wall. Hit
the switch to free Lassi from her cell. Also open the nearby chest for a
Sugarstar. Talk to Lassi to regroup, then approach the exit to the south. All
of a sudden, the robot guard will jump out of the pit and attack you. He
looked pissed!
Once again, this isn't a very hard battle. The Securitron is Earth-based, so
Lassi is very good in this battle. Securitron's Zap Net will hit both
characters, so use a Green Frog if anyone's HP gets too low. If the robot
uses Level 3 Lock On, then it'll attack with missiles the next turn. Make
sure to defeat it before it can use the attack. Both Hero and Lassi will
reach level 3 after the fight. Now you can exit the prison safely.
--- ERD ----------------------------------------------------------------------
As yo exit the prison, you'll encounter a strange purple critter. It will get
spooked and run away. Walk down the stairs and head to the right to spot some
worms. They will retreat into holes; inspect the holes to start a random
battle. Once the battle ends, you will get a Yellow Worm. If you can catch
the worm without it retreating, then you can get it without having to fight a
battle.
Go to the left and inspect the hat lying on the ground. You will meet up with
a strange fellow that goes by the name Pizza! If you give Pizza a Sugarstar,
he can create a warp point at the location. Make sure to give him the
Sugarstar. If you go to the map via the Pocket Menu and tap a hat symbol, you
can teleport to that location. This is the only warp point we found so far,
so it won't be useful now. Trust me, it's helpful later on.
Once that's over with, head down the stairs. There is a large hole to the
left. The path on the right is blocked for now, so walk over to the hole and
inspect it. Agree to hop down the hole to enter an underground realm.
==============================================================================
5.05] ERD: THE SPINY MOLES                                             [0505]
==============================================================================
--- SPINY MOLE HOLE ----------------------------------------------------------
Hey, it's home to those purple weird things! Go down the tunnel while talking
to the Spiny Moles. Talk to the one in front of the ladder The mole talks
about a prophecy where heroes will descend from the heavens. The lil' guy
thinks that the two are the heroes, so he lets them through.
Climb the ladder and go down the left path. Head through the door to reach
the Inn and Shop. You probably won't need to stay at the Inn, so check out
the Shop. Pick up a couple pieces of equipment and give them to your party
members. Open up your Pocket Menu and select Items, then Equipment. Then
assign them to either character.
Afterwards, exit and go through the door on the right to enter the throne
room. Talk to King Gorgonzola of the Spiny Moles. The king believes that
Lassi and Hero are the heroes of their prophecy; sent here to end the Ant
Queen's reign of terror and bring the Spiny Moles to a wormy paradise. The
king agrees to get them a rocket if they help out the moles. King Gorgonzola
asks the two to kill the Ant Queen. Accept their request and the king says
they will help out the heroes when the time comes.
Heal at the Inn and exit, then go down the tunnel on the right. Meet up with
the kind and talk to him. He tells you to go down the ladder leading to the
Ant Queen's lair. Since you're all healed up, there's nothing else to do!
Climb down the ladder.
In this long tunnel, you will find some Green Frogs near the entrance. Catch
them and follow the path until you reach a pot lying against a wall. This is
an HP pot; if you drink some of its water, it will restore all of your HP. We
don't need any now, so walk down to reach a dead end. Fight some enemies in
the wormholes to get some Yellow Worms (and gain EXP). After clearing the
area out, drink some of the water from the HP pot and proceed to the left. Go
through the door to enter the Ant Hole.
--- ANT HOLE -----------------------------------------------------------------
You will fight random encounters here, so watch out for that. Walk down the
hallway on the left to find a chest containing a Nut Spread. Follow the path
north until you find yet another treasure chest against a wall. Open it for a
Thunder Bomb. Continue down the straight-forward road to reach another door.
On the ground next to the door is a Wakey Tail. It looks like a white
squiggly thing, so inspect it to pick it up. While you're at it, head on
through the stone door.
It won't take long for you to meet up with the Ant Queen. You will see a
gigantic slithering mass attached to a tiny torso. This is the Ant Queen.
Save your game and if you feel that you're ready, approach the monster to
engage in battle.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
BOSS: Ant Queen, Magician Ant, Soldier Ant
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Element: Earth         Recommended Level: 4
Check it out, it's your first boss battle! *whistles and cheers* Anyways, the
Ant Queen is yet another Earth monster, as you could have easily guessed. The
queen is accompanied by a Magician Ant and a Soldier Ant. They will use Royal
Feast, which damages one character and heals the queen. It gets annoying, so
take out the two lackeys first. The Ant Queen's most basic attack is Ant
Acid. It hits one person for around 30 damage and can lower your Defense. She
can also use Lackey Call to get some more ants if you defeat them in battle.
Your first priority is to move Lassi to the back row. Once it's her turn
again, use Wind Talon on all enemies. It should kill the Soldier Ant and deal
a lot of damage to the Ant Queen. Make sure to use physical attacks on the
Magician Ant to defeat it.
Once the two guys are done with, focus on the head honcho. The queen will most
likely use Lackey Call to summon new henchman not long after, so target them
with Hero while Lassi goes after the Ant Queen. Her Wind Talon could deal over
300 damage if you use Spellstrike. If you focus on the Ant Queen with Lassi,
then she should go down quickly. If there are still enemies left, then you
must defeat them as well to end the battle.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The Ant Queen will leave behind a chest after she dies. Open it to obtain
Diggy Claws. Who knows what they are, but return to Spiny Mole Hole. Talk to
King Gorgonzola and Lassi will give him the Diggy Gloves. He says that these
are legendary gloves that allow the moles to dig through virtually anything.
After the talk, head to the Inn and take a load off.
After, return to the digging grounds (where the hole leading to the Ant Hole
is) and talk to the king. He will open up a room guarding three chests and
dig a new hole for you. When you get a chance, open the chests for two Hair
Clips, Slippy Oil, and two Wooden Clogs. Equip the new goods and hop down the
newly created hole.
Follow the path until you reach the king and some Spiny Moles. Go past them to
the right and open the chest for 100 Bira. Defeat all of the enemies in the
worm holes and drink from the HP pot, then go back and talk to Gorgonzola. He
thanks the heroes and stands out of the way. Climb up the ladder to reach the
surface again.
==============================================================================
5.06] ERD: RETURN TO THE RUINS                                         [0506]
==============================================================================
--- ERD ----------------------------------------------------------------------
First things first: talk to Pizza and create another warp point here. Walk to
the left and read the sign. We want to go to the Land Where Stars Sleep, so
listen to the sign and walk through the cave on the left.
--- WHERE THE STARS SLEEP ----------------------------------------------------
Not much to do here. Walk down the corridor and talk to the Brownie and
Radishes to learn about Spellstrikes. But, you should know everything about
them anyways. Continue to the north until you reach a dead end.
You'll be standing in front of a gigantic windmill, and of course it isn't
working. Lassi points out the obvious that there is no wind in the cave.
Well, howabout we change that? Tap the Wind symbol in your bag and have Lassi
start the windmill up. The room will be powered up by a bunch of lights, and
frankly, it looks like an amusement park. Pretty sweet. Once you have the
power working again, return to the outside again.
--- ERD ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Start heading to the north now that the power is on. When you reach a
staircase, you will be ambused by robots. Defeat the measly machines and be
on your way. Continue up the many flights of stairs and collect the Bean Pop
that shoots out of the ground along the way. Once again, robots will attack
you. They're all pushovers, so don't worry about 'em. After, collect the Bean
Pop up ahead and you will reach a gate. It will open as robots rush out to
attack. This is getting irritating.
Head on through the gate after to return to the crash site. Go over to
Lassi's rocket and heal, then proceed north. Don't worry, there's no Antlion
to deal with here. Continue along until you reach Kahve Ruins. As you
approach the entrance, four robots will ambush the gang. When the battle
ends, head inside the ruins.
--- KAHVE RUINS --------------------------------------------------------------
Now robots are patrolling the floors, but luckily they are easy to avoid. I
recommend fighting them anyways, just for experience. Head to the left and
step in the elevator to reach the second floor. Lassi and Hero will find that
dastardly red robot again, and he's scouting the area. Your task is to spring
past the robot commander before he catches you. All you should do is run
behind him and quickly enter the next elevator.
Ah, up on the roof again. Walk towards the elevator and approach the gigantic
robot standing in front of the rocket. Hey, didn't we already fry this bot?
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
BOSS: Securitron 2
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Element: Earth         Recommended Level: 5
The Securitron 2 is back, and it's most definitely tougher than before. It is
also an Earth-based monster and is very strong. Its most annoying attack is
Zap Net, which deals over 50 damage to both characters. Lassi's spells should
deal over 150 damage to the Securitron, which is decent. Make sure to have
one of the characters heal each other and keep an eye on your HP/MP. You will
probably have to use Green Frogs a lot, so have Lassi attack while Hero heals
(switch roles if Hero is powered up).
When the Securitron loses enough health, it will become weakened and start to
use a new combo. It'll start off by using Level 3 Lock-On, which will target
either one or both characters. The robot will then use Missile on its next
turn. It's a brutal attack and can easily deal around 120 damage if one
character was locked on three times.
Your best bet to come out of the battle unscathed is to try and defeat the
Securitron before it uses the Lock-On/Missile combo too many times. You will
receive a Rusty Screw after defeating the Securitron 2.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
With the Securitron out of the way, Hero and Lassi retreat in the rocket and
blast off unintentionally (again) while the robots fail to stop the duo. The
team lands on yet another planet where they don't want to be, this time being
the water planet, Cassia.
Lassi and Hero's rocket land straight in the water. Somewhere far away, a
pirate reports to his captain that a rocket has landed on Cassia. The captain
dismisses the pirate and tells him that there's nothing to worry about.
==============================================================================
5.07] CASSIA: STRANDED AGAIN                                           [0507]
==============================================================================
--- CASSIA -------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: You can find Permafrost on the beaches before Port Pescado. There was
some discussion on whether or not you could, but I have been informed
(with proof!) that they are found here, albeit very rarely.
Your trusty rocket is stranded in the water, and the two step onto a wandering
patch of ice. You can't go anywhere since you're surrounded by water, so use
Lassi's Wind magic to move the icebergs together. Now that a handy-dandy ice
bridge is formed, cross it to reach the beach. You will spot an otter neaby
warming himself up. Talk to him to learn that this is supposed to be the Water
planet, but it's clearly frozen.
Talk to Pizza not to far from the campsite and give him a Sugarstar if you
have some left. There are some Gummy Frogs nearby, but they are frozen solid
and you cannot take them. Pass by and go to the right. There's an HP pot near
the Gummy Frogs, but it's also frozen solid. Go past the frozen chest and to
the right. You will soon reach another crashed rocket, which means that a
classmate is stranded here as well. Heal up at the rocket and go to the
right.
Talk to the many Radishes in the next area for some useful information.
Continue down the beach until you reach a staircase in the north. Go up the
stairs and Lassi will spot a motionless body. The body is actually Mokka, but
his head is missing! You can't do anything about the headless student for
now, so go north to reach Port Pescado.
==============================================================================
5.08] CASSIA: RESCUING MOKKA                                           [0508]
==============================================================================
--- PORT PESCADO -------------------------------------------------------------
Make sure to talk to the townsfolk here as they complain about the cold
weather. One will say that a man named Mick has a furnace, but it's broken at
the moment. Something about his battery died and the spare ones are locked in
his toolbox. Too bad that he lost the key to the box. Make sure to talk to
the human cop on the east side of town. He'll say that a lot of things have
gone missing. One otter woman blames it on a creature called a Hermit Lab.
Apparently it's a dog, and the cop says he can't do anything about it.
Enter the house north of the shop and talk to the two guys. They'll talk
about the Hermit Lab a bit. Leave and enter the storyteller's house, which is
north of your current location. Make sure to listen to the stories about the
dragon and the Fire Otter. After, stock up on some new equipment and Green
Frogs, then heal at the Inn.
Go to the right to enter the outskirts of town. The first house belongs to
some dwarves. Talk to them, then head outside and go down the stairs. Talk to
the otter and he says if you collect 50 Rainbow Shells, he'll give you a
Pooka String. We won't be able to get that many shells now, but if you see
any pink objects on the ground (mostly on beaches), inspect them to get a
Rainbow Shell. There's another warp point near the otter.
Return to the main part of town and a scene will start. Mick tries to talk to
the officer, but instead returns to his home. Follow him back to his house
and Lassi will notice Mokka's head, which is right on top of Mick's furnace!
Talk to Mick and he will warn you not to touch his furnace. I'm sure you know
that we MUST touch it, so ignore his request and tap the furnace via the
touch screen. Mick will say that his replacement battery started working, and
he isn't aware that it's really the head of a robot.
Mick agrees that he will return Mokka's head to the party if the two find the
key to his toolbox. He says that a lot of his things have gone missing
recently. Just then, a strange creature sneaks into Mick's house. He's a
regular Solid Snake I tell ya. It grabs something and after being spotted by
Lassi and Hero, bolts it. They tell Mick and decide to follow it, knowing
that the dog must have the key.
After leaving the house, the team finds the same dog stealing out of another
house. It's cornered by two townsfolk, but unleashes a nasty ice attack that
freezes the unfortunate otters. The creature runs away to the north, so
follow it out of town.
--- CASSIA -------------------------------------------------------------------
The two townsfolk chase the dog-creature northwest. Talk to the otter wearing
a suit and tell him that you're following the Hermit Lab. He says that the
mischievous dog has an ice monster under his command, and that the duo should
turn around while they have the chance. Bah, who cares what he says! Follow
the winding path to the left to reach the next area.
Walk over to the two villagers, who have really cornered the Hermit Lab. They
attempt to grab the creature, but it steps back, revealing the silhouette of
a gigantic monster! The two otters are terrified and they scram. Lassi and
Hero run over to it and decide what they should do.
You want to know what you should do? Use Lassi's Wind spell. The wind clears
the already darkened skies, and reveals the shadow to be nothing more than a
large tree. The Hermit Lab hides in its shell moments later. Walk up to the
dog and inspect it to force a battle out of the Hermit Lab!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
BOSS: Hermit Lab
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Element: Water         Recommended Level: 7
The Hermit Lab is much tougher than any boss you have previously fought. Make
sure to have both characters in the front row, ready to attack. Hermit Lab
has a basic Tackle attack, which deals a little over 50 damage. Even that is
pretty strong for a physical attack. Have Lassi and Hero use magic attacks.
Powered-up Spellstrikes should deal anywhere from 250 to 300 damage to the
Hermit Lab. Remember that Lassi now has Healing Wing, which restores all HP
to any one character. The drawback is that it uses up all MP, so be ready to
use a Yellow Worm on Lassi after casting the spell.
After the Hermit Lab takes a good pounding, it will use Cover, which makes
the dog retreat in its shell. Its Defense will drastically go up and magic
attacks will barely put a dent in its health. Still, physical attacks will
probably deal less than 10 damage to the lab. Keep using magic and heal with
Yellow Worms.
The good thing about Hermit Lab using Cover is that it cannot attack while in
its shell. It will emerge after a couple turns. Repeat by using magic or
physical attacks while the dog is exposed. The battle shouldn't go on much
longer after the Hermit Lab uses Expose.
