| Welcome guys to my first walkthrough for the Nintendo DS. I have a lot of|

| guide is better than the ones available on the net; However, I hope the  |
| additional screenshots and custom tips I’ll include in the guide should  |
| suffice. There is also a PDF version of this walkthrough available for   |

| I would put in a quick start guide but since the game is already full of |
| easy-to-follow, step-by-step tutorials, I would just proceed with the    |
| main walkthrough. There are also a lot of other very useful and detailed |
| resources that you can refer to as well, including the game’s Wiki* page.|
| If you have questions, suggestions and additional tips you would like to |
| add, kindly email me This guide is distributed FREE and can be downloaded|
| in major gaming sites I usually contribute to. I don’t request for       |
| payments but if you are generous enough to pitch in a dollar or two to   |
| support my projects, I would greatly appreciate that.                    |

INTRODUCTION
++++++++++++++++
An alternate world. A world where those who died were given a chance to
reclaim the most precious thing to them. A world controlled by
“Reapers”
and where “players” play as their pawns. 7 days to survive. Each
day is a
mission. Failure means permanent erasure – from existence.
++++++++++++++++
WALKTHROUGH
++++++++++++++++
SHIKI CHAPTER
The 1st Day
"Reaper’s Game"
Scramble Crossing
=================
Follow the instructions. Tap on the pin on the lower left to scan. You may
what other people think. After a few more screens, you’ll get a message:
“Reach 104. You have 60 minutes. Fail, and face erasure”
– The Reapers.
Just read through the next screens and you’ll be in for your first fight.
Read the tutorials and escape from battle. You’ll obtain (S) Dash and (B)
Escaping from Battle. Watch the intro.
Statue of Hachiko
=================
As part of the story, you will make a pact with Shiki. Pause the battle
first read the tutorial. Do as instructed to win the battle. Remember that
when you use your Pin, it’ll consume some energy. Watch the energy gauge on
the top left of the screen. Once depleted, you will need to wait until it
reboots. You can also attack continuously as long as your pin has the
energy.
Obtain Pyrokinesis and (B) Bottom Screen Combat, (B) Boot/Reboot, (B)
Controls/ Drag. Read the conversations. Once in control, head right back to
Scramble Crossing. After the conversation, go up north to reach Ten-Four
(104).
104 Building
=================
Once you reach it, you’ll be in another battle. Follow the instructions. As
the tutorial said, don’t rush learning this all at once; Shiki will
automatically move on her own so concentrate on your own battle for the
meantime. Obtain (B) Top Screen Combat after the battle. There will be
another round so be ready. After the battle, obtain (B) Dual Screen Combat
and (B) Follow that Puck!
There will be another enemy coming in… the boss. Defeat it to get 500Y and
Scarletite.
The 2nd Day
"Don’t Kill Me"
Station Underpass
=================
You’ll receive a new mission from them.
“Set the curssed sculpture free. You have 60 minutes. Fail, and face
erasure.” – The Reapers
Go left for a short scene. You’ll obtain (B) Scanning. Scan the area and
cancel out again to continue with the scene. After several dialogues,
you’ll obtain (B) Enemy Encounters. Scan the area and find some noise in
front of the hooded guy. Each of them has their own requirement and
tutorial. Follow them as instructed.
(Lower left)
Pause the game if you want to read the tutorials. Follow it and use the
obstacles as weapons. Obtain Psychokinesis and (B) Use Obstacles.
(Lower Right)
Obtain Shockwave. (B) Controls/ Slash
(Top)
Obtain Thunderbolt and Force Rounds. You’ll also get (B) Controls/ Touch.
Read through the conversations and obtain (B) Mail Icon and 500Y along the
way. Once in control, head left.
West Exit Bus Terminal
======================
Meet Beat and Rhyme. Choose all options to learn more about your situation.
Continue talking to them until the option to ask no questions appears.
Obtain Cure Drink pin after the conversation. (S) Phone Menu will be
unlocked as well. You can now access the game’s sub-menus.
You’ll also get
(B) Wearing Pins. Open the menu and read the tutorials if you want. Explore
the menu as well if you’re a first time player. Since the game is generous
enough to allow players to save anywhere, be sure to save often after
fighting a few battles; things can get awfully bad when you least expect it.
You can immediately scan your immediate position. You’ll find a green noise
Defeat it quickly for easy money. Head to the top left of the screen and
talk to the red hooded guy. There will be a lot of red noise in the area so
you can defeat them for additional funds and exp. Defeat the orange noise
near the man to the upper right to clear the wall. You’ll obtain 500Y and
(S) Extra Slot. Equip your 3rd pin first then save. Once done, head north to
the statue of Hachiko.
Statue of Hachiko
================
Approach the statue and scan for the events to take place. Head to the
upper right corner of the screen to find another green noise. Defeat it as
quickly as you can to earn a star rank and get a very good PP boost. Head
back to the West Exit Bus Terminal and scan near the statue and read the
“Hachiko” thought for an event. Head back to
Hachiko’s statue and polish
him using your stylus. Once the statue has been polished completely, a boss
battle will occur. You’ll obtain a (S) DEF Boost for Shiki.
You’ll have
another boss battle. Get another Shiki Sticker (S) ATK Boost, Ice Blow pin
and a Scarletite.
Watch more scenes and the day will end.
The 3rd Day
"Who 2 Trust"
After a few screens, obtain (S) Shutdown and (B) Shutdown. Head left for a
scene. You’ll receive your next mission mail.
“Defeat the master of A-East. You have 360 minutes. Fail, and face
erasure.”
– The Reapers
You’ll receive (S) Easy after the conversation. Head down to exit the area.
After the talk, you’ll get (B) Talk to your partner.
A-East
=======
Talk to the guy (777) standing nearby and agree to help him look for his
tech.
Head to the upper left corner to find a shop (Lapin Angelique). You can’t
buy anything at the moment so exit to obtain (B) Shop Clerks and Item
Abilities. Head south to find another red hooded guy. Talk to him for more
conversation. Ask Nekohama all the questions and you’ll get Shiki stickers
(S) ESP Cards and (S) Fusion Boost. Agree to test the pin with Shiki. Read
the tutorial thoroughly. You’ll enter a battle; but don’t worry
you’re
invulnerable during this fight so try to get a grip about this Fusion
Attack. You can even practice as many times as you like. End the practice
to clear the wall. Head south to the next area.
Dogenzaka
==========
Keep heading left and scan there. Find a green noise in the lower left
corner. Defeat it for an easy 5000Y. Just ignore the Cosmic Corner shop
since the man ‘aint sellin’ his stuff for now. Just continue
heading to the
right instead. Enter Ramen Don to find the tech. The tech will leave and
you can now buy food to increase your stats. If you have spent some time
level grinding a while ago, you should have a good number of 500Y and 100Y
pins to convert to cash. Try buying some of the food items here. Buying
frequently from a seller increases the effectiveness of the items bought
from them. Not only that, new items will be unlocked for you to try as
well! Exit the shop once ready. You will have the reminder that characters
can only eat 24 bytes a day. Fighting (and winning) battles burns off bytes
and spending the whole day (real-time) resets this number.
In any case, once you’re out, read through more conversations. Once in
control, talk to the tech and find an orange noise lingering around him.
Save first if you want, scan and defeat the noise. Obtain a Shiki Sticker
(S) DEF Boost , (B) Red Noise Symbols and (B) Yellow Noise Symbols. Make
you way back to A-East. You can also fight some battles to digest the food
you have given your characters before heading back.
A-East
=======
Talk to 777 to proceed with the story. Speak to the Wall Reaper up north.
You’ll need to defeat two Noises with the symbol shown. Don’t
leave the
area since there are a lot of them here. Just defeat them and talk to the
reaper in order to pass. You’ll receive another Shiki Sticker (S) Jump and
5000Y. Head up to the next area.
Shibukyu Main Store
===================
Find Beat and Rhyme. Scan the area near them to find a green noise. Talk to
them and learn more about the ‘Memes’ and imprinting.
You’ll receive a
Blackout meme and (B) Memes. Talk to the man nearby and follow the onscreen
instructions. Ignore the tech for the meantime and head back to Dogenzaka
first.
Dogenzaka
==========
Go past the Cosmic Shop a bit and scan to find a “Much Better”
thought.
Cough drops will now be sent to your phone as a meme. Enter Ramen Don for a
Ramen Meme. You can now head back to A-East.
A-East
=======
Enter the Concert Stage and head to the top right corner. Scan there and
examine the “Where is he?” thought. You’ll get the
Fuse meme. Head north
back to Shibukyu
Shibukyu Main Store
===================
Talk to the tech and imprint the Cough Drops meme. Head back to Dogenzaka
this time.
Dogenzaka
==========
Enter the Cosmic Corner to find the tech. He’ll go out; find him near the
Ramen Don entrance. Talk to him and imprint the Ramen meme. Head inside
Ramen Don for a short scene. Once outside, talk to the tech again and
finally imprint the Fuse meme. Enter the Cosmic Corner again. Head back to
A-East.
A-East
=======
Talk to 777 to end the quest and earn a Lucky Star. Head inside the Concert
Stage, save and talk to the tech in the top right corner. A boss battle
will follow.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Keep on dashing while there is no light since you won’t be able to
damage him. Once the light is out, keep on attacking. Don’t worry about
Shiki, especially if you have leveled her up good. It will be tough to
manually control her so just wait until she gets all the ESP cards and
activate the fusion immediately. The boss can be stunned by powerful attacks
like Ice Blow and fusion so you’ll get some free hits at him. Remember to
equip the Cure Drink pin for healing, since this boss can take a large chunk
of HP per attack. Be aware of the sonic attack since it can paralyze your
character. You’ll receive another Shiki Sticker (S) ATK boost, Poison Bones
and Scarletite.
Watch the following scenes. The day will end as well.
The 4th Day
"Erased"
After the scenes, you’ll receive your next mission:
“Reach Towa Records. No time limit. Fail, and face erasure.”
– The Reapers
Once in control, talk to Beat and Rhyme again to get (S) Noise Report. Head
to leftmost part of the area and scan to find a green noise.
104 Building
============
Just read through the conversation. Select all options to get more info
about trends and stuff. You can also browse and buy some stuff from the
shops here as well. Upon exit, you’ll get (S) Brand Awareness and (B) Shop
Quests. Head down to Scramble Crossing.
Scramble Crossing
=================
Learn more about the green pig symbols. Obtain (B) Green Noise Symbols and
(B) Pin Growth/ Evolution. Head down to the lower left a bit and find
another green noise. Defeat it to get Love Charge pin. Talk to the reaper
and he’ll ask for two 1,000Y pins. You’ll need to lower your
levels to
increase the drop rates of your enemies and your PP earned as well.
I suggest saving prior to any battles just to be on the safe side. At this
point, lowering your level to LV4 will yield easier drops without putting
your team in danger. Just battle out all the enemies here and you should be
able to collect those 1000Y pins in no time. Talk to the Reaper once you
met the objective and you’ll get (S) Extra Slot, (S) Chain 4 and 5,000Y.
Continue to the right to the next area.
Shibu Dept. Store
=================
Walk a bit to the right for a short scene. You’ll obtain (S) Backlash. Talk
to the guys in front of the store for a short scene again. Now, head to the
lower left and talk to the Reaper. You’ll need to bring him x5 500Y pins.
Try chaining some battles. It’s better to head back to scramble crossing
and try chaining up to 3 battles. Just make sure you save first. Return to
the reaper and give him the pins. You’ll obtain (S) DEF Boost for Shiki,
(B) Chained Battles and 5000Y. Continue right to the next area.
Cadoi City
=========
Continue to the right to find Beat and Rhyme. Talk to them and earn (S)
Mingle Mode as an additional phone menu. You can also check some new pins
from the store nearby. Save if you still haven’t, then go to the next area.
Towa Records
============
Watch more scenes. You’ll be immediately thrown into a battle. After
defeating the noise, you’ll receive a new pin called Lightning Moon. Read
through more conversations and you’ll be thrown in a boss fight.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: You’ll need to take care of the minions first. Don’t worry
about the
boss; you can still hit it even if its fins is protruding to the surface.
Beware of its bite though; it can immediately take a good chunk of your HP
and knock you out as well. If you have the Poison Skull pin, it will
greatly help a lot in the battle for its Attack Break ability. Once all the
critters are down, you can now concentrate on taking the big fish. After
the battle you’ll be rewarded with (S) ATK Boost, Masamune and Scarletite.
Chapter ends.
The 5th Day
"Empty Urban Legends"
Tipsy Tose Hall
==============
“Free Spain Hill from the Noise. You have 200 minutes. Fail, and face
erasure.” -- The Reapers
Go left first to find a guy. Listen to him and after a few screens, you’ll
be in a mini-game. Using your stylus, move the coin to the white symbol
(lower left) VERY slowly. You’ll obtain the Reaper Creeper meme afterwards.
Head to the right and talk to the reaper. Scan the area and enter a battle
(single or chained) with the largest noise symbols you can see. Defeat them
and talk to the reaper. You’ll obtain Murasame, Durable Leather
and 10,000Y. Go first to the rightmost path.
AMX
====
Head to the center to find an orange noise bugging an NPC. Defeat it to get
a Tin Pin Ticket meme, as well as 5,000Y. Continue to the rightmost part of
the area to find a green symbol. There will be 3 pigs and you’ll have to
stop them from escaping. It shouldn’t be a problem if you have some high
leveled attack pins at your disposal. Obtain a Rare Metal from them. (You
can either trade it for a (S) ATK Boost or (S) DEF Boost stickers for Shiki
by visiting AMX) Return to the previous screen (Tipsy Tose Hall) then
take the small alley up to reach Spain Hill.
Spain Hill
=========
Defeat at least 3 noises (you may chain them) to obtain (S) Block and 1000Y.
After the battle, find some orange noises surrounding two schoolgirls.
Approach them and scan the area. Defeat the orange noises but you’ll
discover that they’ll just come back. You’ll need to imprint
them but let’s
skip that for now. Keep heading right until you find another Reaper. He’ll
ask you to buy him a CD.
Make your way back to AMX and purchase a CD (I bought both). Return to him
and surrender the CD to clear the wall and get your rewards. (1000Y and
Crimson Chili) Proceed to the next area.
Molco
=====
Scan immediately to find the green noise nearby to get 5000Y. If you talk to
the two kids, you’ll learn about the Tin Pin Slammer competition. You can
also visit the mall for some shopping if you want. Return to Spain Hill.
Spain Hill
=========
Talk to Ai and Mina and imprint the Reaper Creeper meme. Just choose
“Sounds like fun” on the couple of choices that will be given to
you. Next,
drag the coin very slowly to white. Just go to the colors Ai wants. Save
first then defeat the remaining orange noise. Receive a (S) DEF Boost
afterwards. A boss battle will follow.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: This boss has really solid attacks so you’ll need to equip the Cure
Drink pin. Also, try to have some solid attack pins with knockback effect.
The Masamune and Murasame are good choices. Having some projectile pins
will be good as well to deal damage from a distance. Use Block often, since
this boss has a really devastating attack. You can also attack from a
distance while you try to get Shiki’s ESP cards and perform a fusion.
You’ll receive (S) ATK Boost, (S) Retry Battles, Sexy D, and a Scarletite.
The 6th Day
"Superiority/Inferiority"
Scramble Crossing
=================
“Dominate the scramble crossing view at 3:00. You have 180 minutes. Fail,
and face erasure.” – The Reapers
You’ll obtain Red Skull. Head right a bit, then talk to Makoto. Scan him
and read his thoughts. After the conversation, scan him again and defeat
the orange noise to earn Rare Metal and (S) Safe Landing. You’ll also get
the following memes: “Unreal, bro” “Come get some hot
stuff”, “Totally
gnarly”. Imprinting time! Talk to the girl near him and select
“Totally
gnarly” meme.
Now talk to the reaper to the top. Quiz time! Just answer the following:
1. Which of the following shops is in the 104 Building?
A: Edoga the Shop
2. What’s on the sign outside Shibu Dept Store?
A: High heels
3. Which of these does the Bigbanfrog use as an attack?

You’ll also get the following: (S) DEF Boost, Orichalcum, and 5,000Y. Exit
to the right to reach Shibu Dept Store.
Shibu Dept Store
=================
Just continue to the right to exit to Cadoi City.
Cadoi City
===========
Approach the building’s entrance and scan to find a green noise. Defeat it
for a Love Me Tether. Head further to the right and talk to the reaper
there. You’ll receive 1000Y for defeating the pig noise in this area. Now
head to the upper left exit to reach Molco.
Molco
=====
Find another reaper to the upper left. He’ll ask for a LV3 Murasame pin. If
you are using one before, then it’s probably at least LV3 by now. Otherwise,
train by fighting the noises in and around the area and return that to the
reaper. You’ll receive Durable Leather and 1,000Y for your efforts. Return
to the Crossing and take the upper path.
Center St. Entrance
===================
Find Makoto talking to a kid. Talk to either one of them to start the scene.
Choose “Unreal
Bro” to keep the conversation going. Once in control, continue to the top
to find another reaper. He’ll request you to bring him 3 Rare Metals. These
are common item drops that can be acquired from Noise #58 Decadraven. Just
remember to lower your level to increase drop rate. They are normal enemies
here so you shouldn’t have that much problem collecting these.
You’ll get
(S) ATK Boost, Sleek Silk, and 10,000Y for completing this task. Continue
up to reach the next area.
AMX
===
From here, go left to reach Tipsy Tose hall then up to reach Spain Hill.
Spain Hill
==========
Find Makoto in front of Mexican Hotdog. Talk to him or the guy he was
talking to. Imprint the “Come get some hot stuff” meme on him
twice. Make
your way back to Scramble Crossing.
Scramble Crossing
=================
Find Shiki in the lower right corner. Talk to her. After the scene, go to
the left side of the Crossing this time. Talk to Shiki then return to the
right and interact with Makoto for some more scenes. You’ll get a tip for
setting trends; you’ll also get (B) Be a Trendsetter. Equip the Red Skull
pin and win some battles (at least 3, I think). Once done, you’ll receive
500y. Go up to Ten-Four (104)
104 Building
============
Just do the same thing; defeat some noises here with the Red Skull pin on.
Obtain Scarletite. After the brief conversation, chase Shiki back to the
Crossing. Talk to her to end the chapter.
The 7th Day
"Wakeless Dream"
Scramble Crossing
=================
You can do some power leveling to level up your pins. Try to upgrade your
equipment as well. To start off, talk to the reaper to the top right.
Answer the questions from his quiz to obtain 1,000Y and Sweet, Sweet
Onions.
1. What is the name of Kurakura’s saleslady?
A: Yuu Narumi
2. Which of these commands activates Happy Beam?
A: Slash Neku
3. Which brand makes the slogan bandannas?
A: Hip Snake
There is another reaper to the upper middle left. He’ll ask you to get him a
Funky Shades. You can get this from the Karakura shop in the Shibukyu
Stationside. Just head left from the Crossing to the Statue of Hachiko.
You’ll get 1,000 Yen and Choice Meat for the trouble.
If you talk to the reaper to the middle right, he’ll request you to get a
Natural Magnum. Just use your Happy Beam in battles until it evolves (LV5).
You’ll get 1,000 Yen, Colorful Thread, and Stunning Crystals for completing
this task.
You can also hunt down the green noise in the middle part of Towa records
but you’ll need to take the long path from the Center St.
Once ready, head to the Statue of Hachiko.
Statue of Hachiko
=================
Talk to the reaper and chain 3 noises to pass. Save first then enter battle.
Obtain (S) ATK Boost and 5,000Y for completing this task. Save then go to
the next area.
West Exit Bus Terminal
======================
Talk to the reaper to enter a mini-boss battle.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS: The Decadravens come in infinite numbers so just use them to build
your damage multiplier. Once you hear the loud caw of the boss, stay out of
its way and attack it from behind. Projectile pins are useful for that.
Also, when you have fusion attack ready, make sure that the boss is in
either screen, otherwise, it won’t be damaged. Next thing to be careful of
is the objects it carries and drop above. Just watch out for the shadow and
dash your way out to safety. Of course, bringing in the Cure Drink pin will
help you out a lot but try not to prolong the battle or you’ll find yourself
caught in a flock of angry fowls. Obtain Meteor Magnet after the battle as
well.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Save first. Equip the Meteor Magnet (or level it up with a few fights) then
continue to the right to the next area. Prepare for the real boss battle.
Station Underpass
=================
(You can fight a few battles first to set the trend for your pins) Continue
to the right to fight the boss.
BOSS: Attack from a distance. The Meteor Magnet is very useful here. Of
course, Cure Drink is a mandatory pin in every boss battle. Bring in another
projectile pin, such as Natural Magnum then a melee pin if you want, like
the Murasame or Masamune. This guy hits hard so avoid his attacks as much
as possible. For the first parts of the battle you can get free hits to the
boss while he is busy attacking Shiki. His Lightningbolt attacks can also
paralyze you so keep on dashing side to side to avoid them. Do the same
thing when he starts slamming the ground with his fists. Use fusion as
soon/many as possible; you may need to take over Shiki to get her ESP cards
quickly. You’ll be rewarded with Scarletite, Earthshake, and (S) DEF Boost
for defeating the boss.
===========================================================================
*************************** CHAPTER CLOSED ********************************

JOSHUA CHAPTER
The 1st Day
"Rulez"
Scramble Crossing

partner will come to the rescue. Just defeat the enemies just like when you
met Shiki. You’ll get (S) High & Low Cards, Sidestep, and Fusion Boost

Watch the events and you’ll be in for a boss fight.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: You won’t damage this boss upfront so dash to get behind it and
attack with all you’ve got. This boss deals fair damage and can really
endanger you if you’re not careful. This battle shouldn’t be
that hard;
just execute its weakness and you’re good to go. You’ll also get
(S) Hard
and Scarletite. That’s it for the day.
The 2nd Day
"Reapers"
Scramble Crossing
=================
Watch the scene. Scan Joshua to proceed with the story. Continue on with
the conversation until you receive your next mission.
“Game II: Acquire the /-3 AU pin. t = 300 min. Incompletes will be
destroyed.”
The reaper in the upper middle left road will require Joshua to wear
Natural Puppy equipment from head-to-toe. Unless you have all the necessary
threads to equip him, ignore the reaper for now. For the meantime, head to
the right to Shibu Dept. Store.
Shibu Dept. Store
=================
Talk to the reaper and defeat all the orange noises to pass. You’ll also
obtain (S) ATK Boost for Joshua. Talk to the reaper again to clear the wall
and get 10000Y. Head to the next area.
Cadoi City
==========
Watch the scene. Save your game first then continue to the right. You can
also get some new pins from Cadoi City- Everyday Selects le Grand. Go up to
the direction leading to Molco and you’ll have an event battle with new
enemies. These are a bit different and tougher from what you have
encountered so far so just be careful. Remember to block or dash away from
their impact point after they jumped. You’ll get (S) DEF Boost, Ichimonji
and Scarletite in this battle.
Before going to Molco, I suggest getting the following items from Cadoi
City.
Everyday selects          Darling Designs
Brown Jeans    8190Y      Negative polo or Plain shirt 6900Y
Waffle Necktie 6495Y      Silver Screen Sweetheart     3990Y
Equip them to Joshua, backtrack to Crossing. Talk to the reaper in the
upper middle. Though he’ll admit that he can’t clear the wall,
you’ll get
Extra Fine Noodles and 1000Y for completing the task. Head to Center St.
Entrance then exit to AMX.
AMX
===
There is a new CD here so buy it if you are planning on collecting.
Otherwise, keep going left until you reach Tipsy Tose Hall.
Tipsy Tose Hall
===============
Head to the upper left part of the area and scan there to find a green
noise. You can only damage it using the Sexy D pin. I suggest equipping the
Poison Bones as well to inflict Defense Break to the pig. You’ll need to
knock it back further from the direction it is going to give your pin to
reboot. You’ll obtain the Sexy+ pin. Now go to Spain Hill this time.
Spain Hill
=========
Scan in front of the Mexican Hotdog to find another green noise. Clear it
to obtain Handsfree Healing. You must defeat the pigs according to their
number. Their HP isn’t that high so you can defeat them easily; however,
attacks tend to damage more than your intended target so you’ll probably
need to retry until you get the rhythm right. I suggest using pins with
knockback (like your newly acquired Ichimonji) to push the other piggies
back while you take care each of them. Projectile pins will also help in
case any piggy gets past and you can’t immediately dash in pursuit.
Enter Mexican Dog for some scenes. Enter again and buy food until you get
the Definitivo Chili Dog (Quest Item: Rare Metal x3, Choice Meat x1,
Crimson Chili x1) to appear. Get it; this will be used for a sidequest
later on. Backtrack to Crossing, then make your way to Cadoi City then
finally, Molco.
Molco
======
Scan the area near the telephone booth to find another green noise. You’ll
need to use your Pyrokenesis pin to defeat this one. As usual, you can use
Defense Break as well for additional damage. You’ll get Izanami for
defeating it. Talk to the reaper to the top left and provide him the
Definitivo Hotdog you acquired a while ago. You’ll get Sparkling Silver and
1000Y.
Enter Molco to join the Tin Pin Slammer. You need to use your directional
pad for your pin to do some moves (I hate these silly mandatory mini-games)
called Whammies. Your objective is to knock off your opponent’s pin. Each
move is limited and varies from pin to pin to use them only with care.
The best tip I can provide you is to turn into a wrecker ball (right D-PAD)
since the enemies tend to attack aggressively. Once their pin is stunned,
do your best to push it. If your enemy recovers you can either turn into a
wrecker ball again or use the fireball attack. The first battle ain’t that
hard so you can smoke the guy easily. You don’t need to worry anything
afterwards. Just read through the following screens and the mission will end.
You’ll also get Tin Pin Fire, Tin Pin Custom and (B) Tin Pin Slammer. Exit
to Cadoi city for more scenes. Chapter will end.

One of the rare (and powerful) blue noises is here. (#44 Progfox) I
defeated it at LV12 (adjusted) in almost 3 minutes. This guy loves to
teleport and has really solid attacks. I suggest saving first before
fighting this guy. I may just be lucky for finishing it on the first try.
You’ll obtain Teleport Warning after the battle. Keep heading right to Cat

battle with Jelly Madchester (blue). Leave it to multiply and it should
produce the red Jelly Swechno. Defeat the Swechno for a chance to get this
