0.03          INTRODUCTION
============================
================================================================================
Welcome to my walkthrough for Ecco The Dolphin: Defender Of The Future.  This
guide was written for the Playstation 2 version in mind, but during the creation
of it I have decided to add the control and level information for the Dreamcast
release as well.
Where there are differences between the levels, there will be a short section
prior to the level walkthrough proper, informing the player what the differences
are between the two versions.  If there is no information then the levels are
identical in every way and the level walkthrough will work for either game
version.
The ONLY thing that MIGHT have subtle differences will be the Vitalit guide, as
I haven't played the Dreamcast version of Ecco in over 5 years and do not have a
Dreamcast system that I can get access to in order to check.
If you do find any differences that I haven't mentioned then please e-mail me
using the address at the top of the guide and let me know.
================================================================================

0.04          GAME STORY
==========================
================================================================================
At the dawn of the 30th Century, after Five Hundred years of unity and
fellowship, Dolphin and Man set out from the Earth to explore the great unknowns
of space.
But where Man and Dolphin founded a civilisation of peace, others based theirs
on strength, conquest and domination.  Yet even as Man and Dolphin went out from
the earth, the sinister "Foe" cast envious eyes upon it.  For the Earth was a
prize beyond measure, a pristine world to be cherished, or exploited.
But the Earth was not defenseless.  the mighty Guardian - the greatest
creation of Dolphin kind - shielded the Earth with its power.  Undeterred, The
Foe persisted, probing for a moment of weakness they were certain must come.
It was in this time that a Dolphin named Ecco arrived at the Isle of the
Guardian, seeking to learn from the scholars of peace, but destined to become
the only hope and champion of the Earth.

0.05          GAME CONTROL SYSTEM
===================================
================================================================================
==============================================
0.05a          Control Legend [PLAYSTATION 2]
==============================================
[X] = Cross
[S] = Square
[T] = Triangle
[C] = Circle
LAS = Left Analog Stick
RAS = Right Analog Stick
[X] = Swim Forward
Pump to gain speed then hold down once at full speed.
[C] = Charge
From a static position this will arch Ecco up and shoot him forward.
From a moving position it will give Ecco a quick boost of speed.
[S] = Sonar
Use this to talk to other Dolphins, Whales, The Guardian & Info Glyphs
throughout the game.  Press and hold to bring up your Sonar Map.
[T] = Change Camera
This will switch the camera from a 3rd person perspective to a fixed camera so
that you can turn Ecco around to face you.  Not very useful to be honest.
L1 = Rolls Ecco to the left
R1 = Rolls Ecco to the right
L2 = Moves the camera to a side view of Ecco's left side.  Useful for levels
like Four Ways Of Mystery & Hatchery.
R2 = Moves the camera to a side view of Ecco's right side.  Useful for levels
like Four Ways Of Mystery & Hatchery.
L2 & R2 = Moves the camera in front of Ecco so that you can see behind you.
Highly useful for Perils Of The Coral Reef & Anguish Of Dearth.
L3 = Next Objective
This is supposed to point you in the direction of the next thing you need to do,
although I find this more of an annoyance then a help.
R3 = Manual Correct
If you get a bit confused which way is up, press R3 to make Ecco auto correct to
a level and straight position.
SELECT = Compass
This is supposed to show you when Vitalits, glyphs or enemies are nearby, but it
is too small to use properly so it is better to have it left off.
START = Pauses the game and allows you access to Ecco's inventory.
LAS: -
Backwards:  Ecco will point upwards.
Forwards:   Ecco will point downwards.
Left:       Ecco will turn left.
Right:      Ecco will turn right.
RAS: -
Backwards: While moving performs a Quick Stop.
Backwards: While stationary will make Ecco swim backwards.
Left:      180 Turn Left.
Right:     180 Turn Right.
Forward:   While moving will perform a special spin.  Sometimes useful for
avoiding sharks but I've not used it.
==========================================
0.05b          Control Legend [DREAMCAST]
==========================================
[A] = Swim Forward
Pump to gain speed then hold down once at full speed.
[B] = Charge
From a static position this will arch Ecco up and shoot him forward.
From a moving position it will give Ecco a quick boost of speed.
[X] = Sonar
Use this to talk to other Dolphins, Whales, The Guardian & Info Glyphs
throughout the game.  Press and hold to bring up your 'overlayed' Sonar Map.
[Y] = Modifier Button
Using the Y button helps you perform some of the more advanced movements within
the game.  The list below tells you of all the Advanced moves possible using the
system of 'Y +'.
Up:        Special Spin
Down:      While Moving - Quick stop
Down:      While still - Swim backwards
Left:      180 turn left
Right:     180 turn right
L Trigger: Roll left
R trigger: Roll right
* please note that UP, DOWN, LEFT & RIGHT refer to the Analog Stick, NOT the D-
Pad.
D-Pad = Change Camera
By quickly pressing in any direction, the camera following Ecco will change from
a static camera that keeps the camera directly behind Ecco to a floating camera
that has a delay before it follows Ecco, almost like it is being towed on a long
piece of string.  If you press and hold any direction of the D-Pad, then the
camera will become 'airborne' and float above the surface of the water.  The
only level that I can really see any use for this is Hanging Waters as you can
get a more general view of your surroundings if you are having trouble making
the larger jumps in the level.
AS = Control Ecco
The Analog Stick controls the movement of our intrepid hero.
L Trigger = Left Side View
Moves the camera to a side view of Ecco's left side.  If you are in floating or
airborne camera views then Ecco will roll instead.
R Trigger = Right Side View
Moves the camera to a side view of Ecco's right side.  If you are in floating or
airborne camera views then Ecco will roll instead.
L + R Triggers = Rear View
Moves the camera in front of Ecco so that you can see behind you.
START = Pause Game
Use this to bring up your in-game menu system.  If you press X & Y together then
the menu system will disappear from the screen.  Useful if you want to do some
screen captures of certain levels or items.  Press X & Y again to replace the
menu screen.
**Ecco's controls are similar to a flight sim, as in up = down and down = up**
================================================================================
======================
0.06          GLYPHS
======================
================================================================================
=====================
STAR ABILITY GLYPHS
=====================
Each of Ecco's five abilities have to be discovered during the game, and the
Star shaped Glyphs are the key to unlocking them.  If you see a Star Glyph then
you need to collect it.  Each symbol relates to a different gift.
========================
DIAMOND ABILITY GLYPHS
========================
These Glyphs each have symbols that relate to the star Glyphs that you collect.
These will enable Ecco to use the power that they contain.  The powers are all
temporary and vary in duration, so do not squander them when you have them.
==============
CLEAR GLYPHS
==============
These large, clear glyphs are pieces of the Guardian that help guide you through
the game, sometimes with a cryptic clue.
===============
VISION GLYPHS
===============
These are a unique feature to the PS2 version.  If you sonar one of these purple
Glyphs you will see a short 'clue' movie giving you additional help if you need
it.
==========
VITALITS
==========
These are very small shards of the Guardian that assist Ecco in his quest. For
each Vitalit that you collect your energy bar will grow slightly, allowing you
to have slightly more energy available to you when you eat fish.  A PS2 bonus is
that for each level where you collect ALL the Vitalits for that level, a piece
of concept artwork will be revealed in the Gallery.
================================================================================
=====================
0.07          SONGS
=====================
================================================================================
===================================
TURTLE (Perils Of The Coral Reef)
===================================
Turtles now trust and follow your lead.  They follow the song one by one in a
line.  Frightened by charged they shyly sink downward, but this song renews
their trust in you at once.
==================================
SHARK (Perils Of The Coral Reef)
==================================
Sharks will be stunned with the sound of your sonar.  For the briefest of
instances they will not attack, & those so confused may head-on be battled.
=================================
FISH (Perils Of The Coral Reef)
=================================
Small schools of fish will surround you and follow you.  Some are just food that
heal wounds and infection.  Some fish glow like torches in darkness, and red
fishes of poison repel enemy attentions, but know that all fish have a SLOW,
STEADY PACE.
============================
RAY (Four Ways Of Mystery)
============================
The Great Manta Ray will obey your decree.  It will swim where you aim with your
sonar command.  Stingrays will betray their places, and those plain in sight
will flee from your song.
===========================
PLANT (Anguish Of Dearth)
===========================
Use this song against the ink plants; they will reveal hidden dangers to your
eyes.  Use against Trumpet Plants to confuse certain enemies.
================================================================================
======================
0.08          POWERS
======================
================================================================================
===================================
VIGOUR (Perils Of the Coral Reef)
===================================
Augments the strength of your swim and your charges.  You can roll rocks around,
split some boulders in two, reach higher heights and conquer swift currents.
The strength of your charges not an enemy can survive.
============================
AIR (Four Ways Of Mystery)
============================
Doubles the length of your stay underwater.  Replenishes your air with an extra
reserve, but the air you inhale will not lengthen this magic.  As you run out of
breath this power is gone.
===============================================
SONAR (Perils Of The Coral Reef [The Return])
===============================================
Amplifies sonar to lethal proportions.  Power of sonar is a gift brief in time.
Useful it is against enemies but not allies, & can shatter some rocks to reveal
paths and gifts.
=======================
ENDURANCE (Up & Down)
=======================
Replenishes health and expands your stamina.  Your resistance to harm is
extended for now.  The eating of fish will not regain it; the endurance you gain
is just for a while.
=====================
STEALTH (Up & Down)
=====================
It conceals your existence by veiling your substance.  Enemies will not sense
your invisible presence, but stealth does not work if your acts are too bold.
================================================================================
=============================
0.09          FRIEND OR FOE
=============================
================================================================================
========================
0.09a          FRIENDS
========================
================================================================================
COMMON DOLPHINS
UNIQUE FEATURES: They all seem know who Ecco is, even if they have never met.
FIRST SEEN:      Aquamarine Bay
Any dolphin located during the "Isle Of Tranquility" section can be classed as a
'common' dolphin.  They vary in colour, size and markings.
================================================================================
================================================================================
CRIMSON DOLPHINS
UNIQUE FEATURES: Red tipped pectoral fins.
FIRST SEEN:      Shrine Of Controversy.
MOVER DOLPHINS
UNIQUE FEATURE: Mottled yellow in colour.
FIRST SEEN:     Shrine Of Controversy.
CIRCLE DOLPHINS
UNIQUE FEATURES: Very pale blue in colour.
FIRST SEEN:      Shrine Of Controversy.
These three breeds of dolphin will only be found during the "Man's Nightmare"
section of the game.  They are all wary and cautious of others, especially of
outsiders.  You will need to gain the trust of each breed of dolphin in a
specific way to prove yourself to them.
================================================================================
================================================================================
OUTCAST / RESISTANCE DOLPHINS
UNIQUE FEATURES: Green skinned and they have gills.
FIRST SEEN: Anguish Of Dearth.
These dolphins regard Ecco as an "air breather".  These dolphins no longer
require to surface in order to breath, as they have developed gills to filter
oxygen from the water in the same manner that your pet goldfish does.
================================================================================
================================================================================
HUMPBACK WHALES
UNIQUE FEATURES: BIG!!!.
FIRST SEEN:      Aquamarine Bay.
The Humpback whales can be of great help to Ecco on two separate occasions.
Don't dismiss what they have to tell you.
================================================================================
================================================================================
TURTLES
UNIQUE FEATURE: Swimming doorstops.
FIRST SEEN:     Aquamarine Bay.
You can get these gentle giants to follow you at a later stage in the game.
Swimming into them or nudging them from above makes them retract into their
shells but you can sing to them to make them reappear, or else they will do it
themselves after a predetermined amount of time.  You will need one of these to
complete a task mid-way through the game.
================================================================================
================================================================================
GIANT MANTA RAY
UNIQUE FEATURE: Likes playing with eels.
FIRST SEEN:     Four Ways Of Mystery.
The Giant Manta Ray is another one of those friends that, while not interacting
with Ecco directly actually proves the most useful.  You will need one of these
rays during the first 'world' of the game.
================================================================================
THE GUARDIAN (in all it's various forms)
UNIQUE FEATURES: Living Crystal.
FIRST SEEN:      Prolouge movie introduction.
The Guardian is a creation of dolphin intelligence, and is the best defence that
Earth has against The Foe.  Throughout the game you will see Glyphs (pieces of
the guardian) that will provide you with information or clues regarding a
current or future task that you will need to complete.
================================================================================
=====================
0.09b          FOES
=====================
================================================================================
COMMON SHARKS
UNIQUE FEATURES: N/A
FIRST SEEN:      Aquamarine Bay.
These sharks present little threat in a one-on-one match, but can prove deadly
in a group situation.  A single common shark will take 3 hits to kill using
normal strength and only 1 hit to kill using Power Of Vigour.
================================================================================
================================================================================
HAMMERHEAD SHARKS
UNIQUE FEATURES: 'Hammer' style shaped head, stronger then 'common' sharks.
FIRST SEEN:      Perils Of The Coral Reef.
These sharks only appear during the 'Isle Of Tranquility' levels.  A single
Hammerhead Shark require 5 hits to kill under normal strength, or 2 hits if
using Power Of Vigour.  It's very rare to see these sharks swimming alone, and
you will normally find them in groups of two or more.  They may also be swimming
with a small group of 'Common' sharks as well.
================================================================================
================================================================================
TIGER SHARKS
UNIQUE FEATURES: Mottled white/grey in colour.  Very fast.
FIRST SEEN:      Blades In Motion.
These are much quicker and more aggressive then both of the previous sharks
combined.  Although they are highly aggressive, it is possible to defeat them
with little or no harm befalling Ecco.  A single Tiger Shark requires 3 hits to
destroy it, or 2 hits if using Power Of Vigour.
================================================================================
================================================================================
PIRHANA FISH
UNIQUE FEATURES: Visious.
FIRST SEEN:      Perils Of The Coral Reef.
The little blighters will jump right onto Ecco if you do not protect yourself.
The ONLY means of defence against them is to surround Ecco with a school of
either red fish or the stone coloured ones that cure Man-O-War Jellyfish stings,
as no creature likes eating either type of fish.
================================================================================
================================================================================
MEMBRANE JELLYFISH
UNIQUE FEATURES: Almost impossible to see until you swim into them.
FIRST SEEN:      Perils Of The Coral Reef
As the features line states, these are almost invisible.  they are white in
colour, but they have almost no physical mass, which is what accounts for their
invisibility.  They can be defeated by charging them head on.
================================================================================
================================================================================
MAN-O-WAR JELLYFISH
UNIQUE FEATURES: Only jellyfish that can poison Ecco
FIRST SEEN:      Perils Of The Coral Reef
These jellyfish are the most harmful to Ecco.  They are made up of a pink-purple
inner body and an outer pale white dome.  They have tendrils hanging from
beneath them that can deliver a *sometimes* fatal sting to Ecco.  If you get
stung then Ecco's energy bar will turn purple and his movements will be very
sluggish.  there is usually a school of stone coloured fish nearby that can cure
the effect of the sting, but do not eat them once you are cured as they will
reduce your remaining energy.  You can defeat them with a head on charge or
Power Of Sonar attack.
================================================================================
================================================================================
BLUE JELLYFISH
UNIQUE FEATURES: Large and slow moving
FIRST SEEN:      Trial Without Error
This type deliver a strong punch of sting to Ecco when they are touched.  Unlike
the membrane type, you can at least see these from a distance.  They are blue in
colour and have long tendrils hanging down from the middle of their bodies.  Not
the most fatal jellyfish in the group, but still potent enough to deliver a
killing blow to Ecco if you are low on energy.  Just avoid them at all costs.
================================================================================
================================================================================
STINGRAYS
UNIQUE FEATURES: Hide under the floor.
FIRST SEEN:      Trial Without Error.
Stingrays are more of an annoyance then a real threat.  If you swim too close
to one it will rise out from under the sandy floor of the level and deal you a
small electric shock before returning to the sand.  It is not possible to kill
them, although it is possible to make them reveal themselves by sonaring them
from above.
================================================================================
================================================================================
WATER SCORPIONS
UNIQUE FEATURES: Able to walk on any surface, as well as swim.
FIRST SEEN:      Perpetual Fluidity.
Once again, an enemy that is more annoying then a real threat.  On their own
they pose no real trouble but in a large enough group they can deal Ecco a fair
whack of damage.  These creatures can climb any surface, and also they can swim.
Once locked onto Ecco they will start pinching.  Swift movement is the only way
to shake them off.  They can be destroyed by charging them head on, and they
will disintegrate.  You can also use Power OF Sonar to destroy them from a
distance.
================================================================================
================================================================================
COMMON EEL
UNIQUE FEATURES: Hides in crevices.
FIRST SEEN:      Four Ways Of Mystery.
These little snappers enjoy nothing better then giving Ecco a love-bite when he
swims past.  They hide in small holes in the walls of the levels, and just when

1.00          ISLE OF TRANQUILITY
===================================
================================================================================
This level is the proper reality, and it is this reality that Ecco is trying to
restore throughout the game as he searches for the 5 traits that The Foe stole
before Ecco managed to destroy the Foe ship.

1.01          PROLOGUE [MOVIE]
================================
================================================================================
For five hundred years, dolphins and humans had lived together in unity,
harmony, and fellowship.  Together, they set out to explore the great unknown.
Peace and friendship were offered to all who would welcome it.  But there were
forces for whom aggression was the highest calling.  Creatures known only as
'The Foe' regarded the Earth with envious eyes, for humans and dolphins were
their hated enemy.  From time beyond memory the Foe had gone undefeated.  They
devoured, dominated and annihilated all in their path.
But humans and dolphins brought their age of conquest to an end.  Driven to the
brink of defeat, The Foe plotted vengeance on Earth.  But the few caretaker
dolphins who remained behind were not defenseless.  Protected by their greatest
creation, the Guardian shielded them with its immense power.  Undeterred, the
Foe persisted seeking a moment of weakness. [And] In this time of crisis lived a
young dolphin named Ecco.  He was destined to become the only hope for humans
and dolphins... [Ecco] Defender of Earth's future.

1.02          AQUAMARINE BAY
==============================
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
Learn from the 'Teacher', free the baby whale from a rockslide, win 'Fish Fetch'
================================================================================
When the level starts, talk to the 'Teacher' until you have learned everything
he knows.  After that, swim to the group of three dolphins.  One of them will be
the 'Coach', who will inform you that they are playing a game of 'Fish Fetch'.
He will ask you to collect a fish that is coloured either Yellow, Red or Purple,
and return it to him.  After playing the game once, use your sonar map to locate
the whales.  Talk to the mother Whale, then return to the area where the
'Teacher' is.  A cut-scene will take over and show The Foe breaking through the
Guardian's shield, and cracking the Guardian itself.  This will unleash an
earthquake that will bury the gate back towards Atlantis.
After this has finished, relocate the whales on your map and swim back to the
mother.  You will notice the baby has gone.  The mother will ask you to help
find her baby.  If you turn so that you are facing the Whale sideways on, with
her head pointing left, and then turn around 180 degrees.  Swim towards the
wall, then follow the wall to the left, so that the wall is on your right hand
side, you will come across a rock fall with a green rock at the bottom of it,
with the baby Whale behind it.  Swim inside the rock fall and talk to the baby,
then return to the area with the 'Coach'.  Just as you get near the area the two
'Players' will swim over to you and line up beside you.
Go back to the baby Whale and guide all three dolphins towards the
aforementioned green rock at the base of the rock fall.  A cut-scene will show
Ecco and the 'Players' moving the rock, which will shift the larger rocks out of
the way and allow the baby Whale to escape.  Once this sequence has finished and
the baby has returned to its mother, go and talk to the mother and she will ask
you to go towards the waterfall.  Once you go towards the waterfall the game
will take over and show the mother Whale swimming over and blocking the current
of the waterfall, allowing Ecco to leave and gain access to Perils Of The Coral
Reef.

1.03          PERILS OF THE CORAL REEF
========================================
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
Reunite the brothers, Learn The Turtle Song, Shark Song & Fish Song.
Defeat the Great White Shark (GWS)
================================================================================
***For the DREAMCAST version you will start in the alcove with the 'Racing
Dolphins'.  You need to go out of the alcove and turn left to find the 'Shark
Fighting Dolphin' that is the start position of the PS2 version.***
From your start position go to your left and follow the corridor.  When you see
a gap in the wall on your right, go through it and talk to the two Racing
Dolphins.  They will inform you of how to join them in a race.  After winning
the race, go back to where you started and you have to jump over the lowest part
of the wall to enter the second section of this level.  If you haven't noticed
already, you now have your first enemies in the form of regular sharks.  They
require three hits to kill them (a 'hit' is when you charge them and they flash
red and 'moan').  After jumping over the wall and swimming past the group of
sharks, the game will take control of Ecco as a small dolphin swims up and asks
you to help save his turtle friend from the sharks behind you.
After you have killed them (three in total), the game will take control again as
the small dolphin swims up and bestows the Turtle Song on you, as well as
mentioning about his brother being a better fighter then you.  Go back to the
dolphin that spoke to you at the start and talk to him again.  He will tell you
to lead him to his brother and he will teach you a song.  Jump back over the
wall to the small dolphin and you will enter another section of loss of control
as the young dolphins brother gives you the Shark Song.  This will stun and
confuse a shark for a few seconds so you can hit them head on with no damage.
After this carry on into the rest of the level and follow the wall on the right.
This will lead you into a section with a dolphin chasing a LARGE fish.
If you catch this fish, the Dolphin chasing it will teach you the Fish Song,
which allows you to lead a school of fish.  After this, go out into the next
main chamber of the level by going through the gap in the wall and follow the
wall on the left until you come to a tunnel entrance with jellyfish at the start
of it.  Nearby on the floor is a school of yellow fish.  Guess what! The tunnel
has no lights and the fish glow in the dark (coincidence!).  Make sure you
recharge your air meter (you'll need it) and then sing to this school of yellow
fish to make them follow you.  Once you are in the tunnel, take your time.  Your
air will last longer then you think, and if you go too fast you will lose the
fish, as they can't travel very fast.  This tunnel will lead you to the GWS
pool.
Once in the pool, you need to attract the attention of the GWS, so do your best
to tick him off in any fashion possible.  To kill him you have to FIRST get him
stuck in the LOWER of the two holes in the central column of rock in the pool.
Once stuck you can collect the Vigour Star Glyph from his mouth. This will give
you the ability to use the Power of Vigour that is stored in the higher of the
two holes.
***There is another tunnel that leads you to the GWS pool, which has red fish
near it.  If you sing to these red fish (don't eat them, they are bad for you),
they will protect you from the piranha fish that are in this LIT and SHORTER
tunnel***
There are various methods for killing the GWS, but make sure that you have
collected the Vigour Glyph before you try to attack him.  You can get him stuck
in the hole, or swim behind him and hit him.  Whatever works for you!  After
killing the GWS, exit the area by going through the tunnel that is NEXT to the
dark tunnel.  This will bring you out ALMOST back at your original start point.
Just follow the corridor to the other end and you will remember where you are.
After re-tracing your steps back to the Fish Song Dolphin, go through the gap in
the left side of the wall and this time follow the wall round to the right and
you will see an area where there is a low wall, this is the exit to the level.
Go through it and swim along the corridor, avoiding or killing the sharks.  When
you get to the end there will be a strong current that is stopping you exiting
the level.  Nearby is another Vigour Glyph (what a helpful Guardian, leaving
these things in just the right place for you), which you will need to collect in
order to defeat the current and swim through the light into Trial Without Error.
================================================================================
===================================
1.04          TRIAL WITHOUT ERROR
===================================
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
Find & rescue the scared dolphin, Find three dolphin children
Locate the Great Octopus
================================================================================
From your start position, travel down the corridor until it opens up, and then
stay on the left-hand sidewall.  You will see a circle of stone columns, of
which one will have a slightly different coloured peak to it.  Below this circle
of stone is the Great Octopus, and the first exit point of the level.
While you are in this first reef, kill all the sharks you find in it.  If you
find the archway of rock in the middle of this area, collect the Vigour Glyph
in it then the sharks only require one hit to kill them.  Go and speak to the
Mother Dolphin swimming in the centre.  She will ask you to find her children
and she will tell you a riddle in return.
Once you have spoken to her, go through the tunnel with reeds hanging over the
entrance, you will find one of the children in there but BE WARNED, the tunnel
is quite dark and the Dolphin is quite hard to spot.  If you stay fairly near to
the ground and stick to the left hand side you should find him easy enough.
After finding him go back the way you came and once you are back in the main
area, look for a VERY LARGE rock leaning against one of the walls, so that there
is a gap between the rock and the wall.  The second Dolphin is there.  Once you
Sonar him he will demand that you chase him to return him, so swim after him and
touch him with your nose.  If he makes it back to his hiding place before you
get him you will have to go through it again until you catch him.
Go back to the Circle of Stone and as you face the wall of the level with the
circle between you and the wall, turn right and swim through the opening into
another section with HAMMERHEAD sharks.  These require 5 hits each (or two with
