(ITD)===Introduction/Disclaimer===
This is my first walkthrough as well as my first time creating a document
to be put online. As the title implies this is a walkthrough for the
Spectrobes: Origins Action/RPG title for the Nintendo Wii. I would like to
state now that this game and all material related to it belongs to Nintendo,
Disney Interactive Studios and Genki. However this walkthrough was made by
and belongs to me and it may only be used on sites that I allow. Please do not
post this document on a personal site without asking first. If you have
questions or comments feel free to email me at johner210@yahoo.com.
This guide will contain little if any story spoilers, but will have minor
game play spoilers such as the Items, Equipment, and Spectrobes you'll come
across. Honestly, many of the things I'll be writing about are already told to
you in the game. I'm simply trying to go into more detail. Also I don't plan
on making the walkthrough too detailed as there is already a wonderful map in
the game and you can always check the mission area of the Cosmolink. Also the
map will have a red arrow pointing towards your objective.
(NTS)===Notes===
All sections are complete. Besides some minor revisions there really isn't
anything left to do. I didn't think it would take this long to write this
thing, but at least it's almost done.
(ABT)===About===
This game is the 3rd installment of the Spectrobes gaming franchise and was
released on August 18, 2009. As was stated in the intro, Spectrobes: Origins
is an Action/RPG for the Nintendo Wii. The Spectrobes Universe and all related
material belongs to Disney and the game was developed by Genki. This game
contains minor animated violence and is recommended for ages 10 and up.
(CTB)===Contributions===
If anyone wants to contribute something I would appreciate it, and you would
get a mention in the Credit Section. If anyone wants to work on a section
about more detailed info on Krawl such as names, attacks, types or even stats
let me know. One of those fancy titles using ASCII art would also be nice. If
you notice any errors or think something should be added tell me. E-mail at

(SBK)==Allies and Enemies, The Spectrobes and The Krawl==
Spectrobes, creatures of light, and Krawl, creatures of darkness, have existed
since the creation of the galaxy. The are natural enemies and both are
creatures of instinct.
The Spectrobes native to the Nanairo system can be contained in and controlled
by the Prizmod. While the Cosmolink contains and allows control over the
Spectrobes of the Kaio system.
It is not clear how the Krawl are being controlled, but it is suspected that
the being known as Krux is responsible for the mayhem caused by them.
After the Great Krawl War, the Spectrobes went into a hybernative state and
became fossilized. Only a Spectrobe Master can awaken them from their dormant
sleep, and wield their power against the new rising threat of the Krawl.
(PLT)===Planets===
There are several planets in Origins where you will do all of your exploring.
I'll add a walkthrough for each one in a later update.
-Wyterra
Capital of the Kaio system. Most of its people live in Giga City, while the
rest of the planet is covered in pristine wilderness. Small villages can still
be found amid the forests.
-Doldogo
Constant summer-like weather allows thick forests and huge plants to grow.
Some of its trees are several thousand years old. Also home to many kinds of
rare fish and fruit.
-Kogoeria
Perpetually covered in thick ice fed by constantly falling snow. Human breath
freezes on contact with the icy air. Breathtaking auroras stretch across the
sky.
-Menahat
Endless deserts stretch as far as the eye can see. Once home to a great city
in ancient times. Major corporations began mining here after discovering
Antigravity Stones.
-Slayso
Mercilessly buffeted by strong winds that have deformed its hills and valleys.
Only the mysterious lone tower to the clouds seems unaffected by the
tempestuous force.
-Bahmud
Known as the volcanic planet due to its constant volcanic activity. Despite
its harsh environment, it was home to an ancient civilization that harnessed
its thermal power.
-Krawlosphere
A planet-sized mass of Krawl created by Krux. It's diameter is several
thousand miles long. Made of pure darkness, it is capable of immeasurable
destruction.
(CML)===Cosmolink===
The Cosmolink is the most important tool of the Spectrobe Master. It contains
all the items you have collected from, Spectrobes to weapons. Press the +
button to open it any time, even during a battle. It contains 6 tabs along
with a summary of your characters status. Line up allows you to view info
about all the Spectrobes you have with you by highlighting it and pressing C.
Press A to view the back of the card and C or B to close it. You can also set
your active Battle and Search Spectrobes from here. Equipment allows you to
view basic info on your weapons with C and select your active weapon. Mission
tells you your current objective, displays the shards you have collected if
any, and lets you you view your map. Excavated Items allows you to view all of
your fossil blocks as well as discard any you don't want. Cosmolink Data
allows you to view info on everything you own including the Spectrobes that
aren't with you. System Settings allows you to change in-game options such as
the vibration function and screen brightness. You can also open the Equipment
menu during battle by pressing the - button.
(IGM)===In Game Map===
The game has an excellent map for all areas and is the reason why the only
maps I may make are maps for puzzles. The mini-map is always in the upper-left
of the screen and can be enlarged with the - button outside of battle. If you
wish you can move around with the map open. The map has a few symbols. Arrows
point toward exits/entrances of the area. Arrows that are red will be pointing
in the direction of your objective. Follow the red arrows and you should never
lose your way. You will also see blue dots indicating where NPC's are, and red
dots indicating enemies. Save points, your human partner, your Spectrobe,
excavated items and yourself can also be seen with easily recognized symbols.
The mission area of the Cosmolink Screen also displays a map of all the areas
on that planet if you click on the Map tab. The map screen will have a O
showing where you are and an X showing where you should be heading.
(GBB)===Gameplay and Battle Basics===
Spectrobes: Origins involves real time combat and monster collecting. There is
also a fair bit of puzzle solving. You play as either Rallen or Jeena who are
officers of the NPP, whose job is to help those in need and defend the galaxy
from the evil Krawl. During the game you'll use many types of items and
weapons such as Swords, Axes, and Shields to aid you in combat. As you defeat
enemies you'll gain experience(EXP) and when enough EXP is earned you'll gain
a level which will raise your Health(HP), Attack(ATK) and Defence(DEF). The
game auto-locks onto the nearest enemy but the reticule tends to move a little
rapidly. You can lock onto a specific enemy by pressing UP on the control pad.
This allows you to easily focus your attacks on one enemy. When an enemy is
locked onto you can see that enemies HP gauge along with their property. When
fighting with Rallen or Jeena flicking the the nunchuck horizontally during
battle will trigger a dodge roll/jump, this maneuver can be easy to forget in
battle but can also be useful. You can also flick the nunchuck back which will
trigger a back flip. Remember to have a healing item equipped at all times to
keep your HP from getting to low.
Rallen and Jeena can also use the Cosmolink to call forth the mighty
Spectrobes, the natural enemies of the Krawl. After you find the Cosmolink
soon after starting the game, you can summon a Spectrobe to help you in a
fight. Most Spectrobes have three forms Child, Adult and Evolved. Only the
Adult and Evolved forms can fight, while the Child form aids you in exploring.
Adult and Evolved Spectrobes can gain experience from battles and level to
increase their power just like Rallen and Jeena. Child Spectrobes can gain
EXP whenever they help you explore and find items. The Child forms also help
you in other ways such as aiding you in solving certain puzzles. There are two
more ways Spectrobes can gain EXP and levels. These will be discussed later
on. The game also supports co-op, the 2nd player would control the Spectrobe.
(PRT)===Properties===
Unlike earlier Spectrobes titles where there were only three properties, or
elements, Origins introduces five. The new Properties are Fire, Plant, Earth,
Sky and Water. Most of the Krawl and Spectrobes you'll encounter are aligned
with one of these properties. Each property is strong against one and weak to
another. This chart will show you the relationship between the properties:
Fire beats Plant, and is weak against Water
Plant beats Earth, and is weak against Fire
Earth beats Sky, and is weak against Plant
Sky beats Water, and is weak against Earth
Water beats Fire, and is weak against Sky
As an example if my Fire property Spectrobe attacks a plant property Krawl, my
attack will inflict extra damage. If that same Krawl attacked my Spectrobe,
the attack would inflict a reduced amount of damage. If my Fire Spectrobe
attacked a Water Krawl it would inflict reduced damage and that Krawls attack
would inflict a greater amount of damage. If a neutral match-up occurred such
as Plant versus Water, then they would be evenly matched and exchange equal
blows. Same properties are strong against each other, two water properties
would inflict weak damage against each other. As you can see the key to
winning battles is matching up your properties correctly. Do that and you'll
win most of your battles with ease. Later in the game you will encounter
multiple properties in one battle which will require greater strategy to
effectively win.
Each property has a symbol that appears next to an enemies health gauge, a
Spectrobes info window and a piece of equipments window. The symbol for Fire
looks like a flame. The symbol for Plant looks like a leaf. The symbol for
Earth looks like a diamond with a dot in the middle. The symbol for Sky looks
like a cloud. The symbol for Water looks like three raindrops. There is also a
sixth property that some Krawl have called Clear. Its symbol is a circle with
5 dots and all properties are equally effective against it both offensively
and defensively. Some bosses will also use this property but can have property
based attacks.
Note that Rallen and Jeena have access to weapons that also have the various
properties. This can affect the damage they inflict upon enemies, however it
will not affect them defensively as only the weapons are affected by their
property. Cosmo and Galaxy equipment use the clear property meaning they
inflict equal damage on all enemies. However if you can help it, its usually
better to use a weapon with a property advantage to gain extra damage.
(EQP)===Equipment===
As I've already said, Rallen and Jeena have access to a variety of equipment.
Once you gain access to them via the Cosmolink, a weapon must be equipped at
all times. Rather than a weapon making up your entire attack stat, the weapon
simply adds to it. There are five weapon types which include Swords, Lances,
Axes, Gloves and Blasters.
Swords give the forth highest boost to your ATK stat, but they enable a 3-6
hit combo which usually ends with an attack that launches or knocks back the
target. They are the most versatile weapon and can fit most situations.
However they shine against small groups where you can combo the enemies and
then have a Spectrobe follow with a strong attack.
Lances give the third highest ATK boost. Their single attack lands multiple
blows on the enemy at about the same power per hit. Although risky because of
the 'wind-up' before the attack, a connect means a devastating blow for the
target. They are a good melee weapon for boss fights because of their high
damage output and a bosses numerous targets. Some can pierce an enemies guard
or thrust more than once.
Axes give the highest ATK boost and have the highest damage per hit ratio.
They are a little slow between attacks but their high power makes up for it.
They also tend to knock several enemies around, making them best for large
groups. Some can easily overwhelm groups of enemies or even mini-bosses. You
can even juggle enemies with certain ones. They all can break an enemies guard
and some can strike multiple times to allow a combo. You also cannot be
knocked back while attacking.
Gloves give the second highest ATK boost. Most only hit once but always have
have an ATK effect, allowing a Spectrobe to follow up with a STG ATK. Some can
hit a few times with a singe blow, but these extra hits, unlike the Lance, are
much weaker than the initial blow. Enemies can be juggled until they're
killed, therefore they are best on a single enemy or a small group. Some can
unleash a pillar aligned with a property. These pillars last for a few seconds
and damage any enemy that touches them.
Last are Blasters which give the weakest boost. However they allow ranged ATKs
and are therefore very valuable. There are three types of guns. Blasters shoot
burst shots or multi-way shots, Zappers fire lasers and Cannons fire powerful
single shots. Guns usually come with an effect, such as freeze, to make up for
their low power. They're great for boss battles as they allow you to pepper
the boss with shots from a distance while a melee Spectrobe keeps them busy.
However some foes can reflect ranged attacks. Otherwise they are versatile,
but best for small to medium groups.
As you can see all weapons are useful in their own way and can fit a wide
range of play styles. All weapons types can have properties and various side-
effects that can have a small or large impact on the individual weapon. You
can change equipment during battle using the - button.
There are also shields that increase your defense stat and allow you to put up
a guard to severely lower the damage you would normally take from an enemies
attack. Shields can also have properties and effects, such as being able to
reflect damage back at the enemy.
(CEA)===Child Spectrobes, Excavation, and Awakening===
This is a big part of the game and also one of the most unique, interesting,
frustrating, and fun parts of Origins. After the first part of the game you
will have a Child Spectrobe. The game's tutorial tells how to go about doing
all of this, but let's review. When you see a golden/white colored sparkle,
flick the remote vertically to have the Child Spectrobe run a few feet ahead
of you and let off a sonar like wave. Anything buried underground will pop out
and the Child Spectrobe will usually retrieve the items that appeared. Note
that you can also grab the item by simply touching it. You may also see a dark
blue colored sparkle. These are Dark Crystals and will summon a group of Krawl
to fight you. The Child Spectrobe will gain experience depending on the items
it finds. As a Child Spectrobe levels its search range increases.
One of the most common types of items you'll unearth from a gold sparkle are
minerals. Minerals can be fed to any form of Spectrobe as long as its in the
Incubator. 7 minerals of different colors exist that give various amounts of
EXP. There are other minerals that directly enhance a Spectrobes stat or even
allow a Child or Adult Spectrobe to progress to the next stage. Another item
you'll find are called Mystery Pods. They are also referred to as fossil
blocks as they normally contain a Spectrobe fossil. Although they can also
contain a mineral that just like the Spectrobe will need to be excavated. Note
that only a Spectrobes Child form can be found in the fossil. Rice Balls and
Training Gear are also found through searching.
The game gives a tutorial on how to remove the rock from a fossil block. But
here's a run-down of the tools. Bombs allow you to blow away large chunks of
rock, but you only have 5. A Laser can be used to make a precision cut along
the edge of a fossil to quickly excavate it, however it has a limited amount
of energy. A Scanner can temporarily allow you to see through the rock and
show what kind of fossil you're excavating. There's a Hammer that lets you
chip away at smaller chunks of rock. A drill can be used for getting pieces of
rock stuck to the fossil off, and is one of the safer tools. Last a Blower can
be used to blow away loose pieces of rock stuck to the fossil after most of
the rock has been removed. Remember that any tool but the Scanner and Blower
can damage the fossil or mineral. If all of the fossil's health is depleted,
the fossil will be destroyed and you fail the excavation. Depending on the
amount of damage you did to the fossil, and the amount of time it took to get
all the rock off, you'll receive a Rank. The higher the rank the closer the
fossil's level will be to the character's, or in the case of a mineral the
better the grade it will be. The best mineral you can get is an orange one.
There is also a larger mineral fossil encountered later in the game which goes
up to purple. If your wondering how to get an A rank, see the Getting an A
Rank section. If your trying for an A Rank, I suggest you get a few of the
fossils you want and save, keep trying and if you fail to get an A Rank,
reload and try again. But don't go crazy or get mad because some of the
fossils are much harder to get an A on than others. For each rank you drop,
the fossils level will drop by 20% of the character's level. So if an A gives
you 10, a B will give a 8 and a C will give 6.
When you want to awaken a Spectrobe choose the excavated fossil you want to
awaken, and select Awaken. Copy the jingle the game plays with the remote or
nunchuck as needed and the Spectrobe should awaken. If you mess up you can try
again as much as you like without consequence. When you succeed the game will
give you a description of the type of fighter it will become and give you a
chance to name it. You can rename it as much as you like. The new Spectrobes
level will be whatever the fossil's level was. You may excavate and awaken as
many Spectrobes as you like even if its one you've already done, as long as
you can fit them in the incubator.
(IRF)===Information on Raising and Effectively Fighting with Spectrobes===
There are many Spectrobes in Origins. There are 28 families each with a Child,
Adult and Evolved form. There are also 6 special ones. 5 are gained through
Card Input codes. The other is gained during the story and it does not fight,
rather it helps you move faster and access areas you couldn't before.
The first step to creating a powerful battle partner is to first obtain the
Spectrobe in its fossilized form. Through story progression you find and are
given a few, but for the most part you must find them yourself. The Excavation
section has info on how to obtain them and awaken them. Once you have your
Child Spectrobe, you'll have to raise it's level to at least 5 which shouldn't
be a problem even early in the game. Once they are level 5 or higher feed them
an Evolve Mineral and they'll progress to they're next form. As the Adult
levels they'll gain some new moves such as the SPL ATK and BNS ABL. At level
30 the Adult can progress to they're most powerful form, the Evolved form. The
Evolved form will have to learn all their skills again. However an Evolved
form is stronger than an Adult in every way.
Spectrobes will attack enemies on their own, but only with a BSC ATK. They
will also occasionally guard against attacks. By locking onto an enemy and
giving the Attack! CMD, they will instantly ATK that enemy. They can also use
a STG ATK without any level investment, which can be used in two ways. Either
manually target an enemy with C and press A, then flick the remote. Or knock
an enemy up, back or down with a melee attack, followed by a flick of the
remote. Watch an individual Spectrobe as some are better with one technique
than the other. As a Spectrobe levels its STG ATK will become stronger. Adults
gain a STG ATK upgrade at level 15 and 20. Evolved forms gain an upgrade at 40
and 50. Certain Evolved forms can gain a 3rd increase, those that can will do
so at level 55. You can view a STG ATKs level by looking at the back of a
Spectrobes status window. Its level is represented by 1 to 3 stars which will
be lit depending on how many upgrades that attack has.
SPL ATKS replace the Combination ATKs from the DS games. After an Adult form
reaches level 10 or an Evolved form reaches level 35, enemies will drop yellow
orbs called Charge Orbs. They also rarely drop a large red orb called Super
Orbs that instantly fills the charge gauge. The gauge will also fill slightly
as the Spectrobe fights. When its full press the B button and cross your arms
over your chest, the charge icon will begin to fill and when it's full, thrust
your arms outward to unleash the attack. It may sound silly at first but the
ATK is very powerful and can easily kill normal enemies and inflict high
damage on bosses. In fact it's a strategy in itself to fill the charge gauges
of all your Spectrobes, and when the fight against the boss begins, unleash
them one by one. This will likely severely weaken the boss or outright kill
it, especially if your Spectrobes are at a good level for that point in the
game, which is at least about five levels higher than the normal enemies. Note
that you really just need to cross the remote and nunchuck and not necessarily
cross your arms.
Its best to lock-on to enemies to get the most out of the above ATKs.
Especially with the SPL ATK, after all you don't want your strongest ATK
missing the enemies right? Don't forget to keep an eye on your Spectrobes. If
it looks like they're taking a beating or a boss is preparing a powerful ATK
and you're Spectrobe is in the path, call it back at the right moment and you
can get your Spectrobe out of danger. Using the come back CMD is a good way to
regroup and get your Spectrobe out of danger. Remember that Spectrobes are
strong but not invincible. If all your Spectrobes get defeated, you will take
more damage than normal and it will be that much easier to get killed yourself
and get a game over. If you get killed you can simply reload or continue from
where you entered the area. Anything you've done since entering the area will
be undone. Also while fighting, defeated enemies will sometimes drop blue orbs
called Minergy Orbs that will partially heal a Spectrobe, make sure you get
these as its the only way a Spectrobe can heal besides the use of a save
point.(Although 2 do have a recovery ABL.) A Spectrobes health will also
recover when they level up, as will the players. You can press 2 during a
battle to view a summary of the current Spectrobe.
There are also BNS ABLs which an Adult gains at level 25 and an Evolved gains
at level 45, that give a Spectrobe a passive power that will give some kind of
benefit such as increased recovery or stat boosts. The abilities effect both
the Spectrobe and Player making them very useful. Each Spectrobe has its own
unique ability and it should be a factor in choosing your battle team. Note
that the effect is only active when the Spectrobe is actively fighting, the
ABLs of the whole team do not stack and are never active all at once, only one
at a time.
(EET)===Extra Effects===
All these effects cause the PC to get knocked down, you can still take damage
even if your on the ground. You can get up by simply moving. Enemies can be
attacked when on the ground, although some ATKs may miss.
-Launch
Sends the target flying into the air, making it vulnerable to a STG ATK.
-Knockback
Sends the target flying backwards, making it vulnerable to a STG ATK.
-Knockdown
The target is slammed into the ground, making it vulnerable to a STG ATK.
These effects all wear off in time or when the battle ends, effects are never
carried over to the next fight.
-Poison
Constantly inflicts damage on the target. The damage is equal to about 5% of
the targets MAX HP, meaning that poison can kill the victim. The target also
flinches whenever it takes damage. Appears as a purplish cloud.
-Slow
Slows the movement of the target. Appears as a blue/black cloud.
-Stun
Causes a shock each time the target attempts an attack. Appears as an electric
shock.
-Burn
Reduces the DEF of the target by about 20%. The target appears blackened.
-Freeze
Completely immobilizes the target. The PC can use rice balls but cannot ATK,
move or CMD their Spectrobes. The target is frozen in a chunk of ice. The
effect is also broken if the target is attacked.
These are weapon/attack effects.
-Pierce
The ATK can damage multiple enemies if they are behind one another. There
is no limit to the number of possible targets.
-Break Guard
The ATK cancels an enemies guard. However the ATKs damage can still be reduced
if the enemy has protection against melee/ranged ATKs.
-Homing
Only applies to ranged ATKs. The ATK 'homes' or turns toward the target, note
the ATK can still miss.
(KWL)===Krawl===
The Krawl are creatures of darkness and your foe throughout the game. They
come in many shapes and sizes and each one can be aligned with a property.
There are too many to list, but simply fighting them yourself with the
correctly aligned Spectrobe should enable you to beat most without too much
difficulty. Study how each one fights and create a strategy of your own to
combat them. With so many Spectrobes and weapons at your command it should be
easy to fight them off provided you use the right property. You could also
just hack, slash, and smash them with brute force. At least that is how the
Clear property enemies should be fought since they have no weaknesses or
resistances. The level of the enemies are set according to what point in the
game you are at. So if you want to power-level the enemies will not level with
you. I will give strategies for the bosses in the walkthrough.
I said there's too many to list but I'll at least identify the different types
of Krawl as well as their ATK pattern. When multiple names are listed, it is
by increasing strength.
-Urag
They are a weak Krawl similar in appearance to Kurag, that only seem to appear
in the Chamber of Ordeals.
-Kurag, Grekurag, Neokurag, Beskurag

common Krawl they use direct ATKs. There is a Sky Property variant that can
use a ranged Stun-effect ATK.
-Kasa, Grekasa, Neokasa
Somewhat spider like they're quick and use direct ATKs.
-Gigasa, Gregasa, Jagasa
A variation of the Kasa, they use a ranged ATK. They also let out a sonic cry
that is harmless when used by the weaker type, but can stun and damage when
used by the stronger types.
-Muzol, Gremuzol, Neomuzol
They are quick, can bite and tend to swarm you. However they have low defense
and go down quickly.
-Druzol, Gandruzol
Earth Property variant of Muzol. They behave exactly the same.

-Pyplask, Hyplask, Metaplask
Defensive Krawl who guard while in ball form. The Fire and Water versions ATK
with a high-speed roll while the Sky version bounces around. They can be
stopped mid-attack by guarding. The ATKs only go in one direction so just get
out of the way to avoid damage.

groups and seem similar to raptors. They will usually jump back before lunging
forward.

Elemental variants of Dogan. Larger than regular Dogan, but otherwise they
are similar.
-Decaton
Only encountered 3 times as a mini-boss, these Krawl mainly shoot multiple
poison projectiles. They will also use a direct knockback ATK if you get too
close. One weakness is they barely move so use a hit and run tactic.

axes can inflict damage without bouncing off. It uses direct ATKs and an ice
projectile.
-Pentagos

despite its enormous size. It is said to have been the main cause of Menahat
turning from a lush beautiful planet, into a desert wasteland.
-Zabatar
A Boss Krawl you encounter on Menahat. It moves at high-speed under the sand.

(IBT)===Incubator===
You gain the Incubator during the first planet. It is a device found on your
ship that stores all the Spectrobes you awaken throughout the game. It is also
where you train and evolve all of your Spectrobes. It starts with 5 boxes,
each capable of holding 6 Spectrobes for a total of 30. You can pick your
Spectrobe battle and search teams, rename them, and release them if you wish.
You can go into the incubator with Z to interact with them. Inside the
incubator you can feed your Spectrobes a wide variety of minerals, take
pictures of them which can be sent to the Wii board and then to your friends,
or train them with gear.
You can start finding gear on the 2nd planet. There is a gear type for each
property. In the incubator select Gear and then a Spectrobe to train. There is
a strait percent chance the Spectrobe will gain a level. The chance increases
if you use the same property gear as the Spectrobe your training. Clear Gear
gives all Spectrobes an equal chance to level. Gear can be used on any type of
Spectrobe but it is most useful on high level ones.
As you progress in the game you will gain access to more boxes as well as more
terrains for them. In the end you'll have 20 boxes and 4 terrains.
(DTB)===Database===
This device is found on your ship. The database is a machine that contains a
large amount of data. You can read detailed information about anything from
your Spectrobes, Weapons you have collected, Characters and many other things.
You gain it during the first planet.
(CIM)===Card Input Machine===
You gain this when you complete the forth planet. This is a device on your
ship that allows you to enter the codes of real world cards to obtain items or
Spectrobes. Many of the codes tend to give you something that you would not be
able to obtain in the game otherwise. Enter the code on the card and then the
sequence on the back of the card.
(TPS)===Tips===
-In the early part of the game when you don't have a full team, you should
switch Spectrobes when they're HP gets low. You should also switch when one
levels to keep a balance of power.
-You can use the - button to skip cut-scenes.
-It is a good idea to keep at least one of a type of Spectrobe in its block
form. As you progress Krawl will level quickly. It would be very time
consuming to lvl every Spectrobe you have 5 or so lvls for each new planet. By
keeping about 2 of each type of Spectrobe in block form you can simply
excavate a new one when that type gets to be many lvls weaker than the Krawl.
This is better than going to each planet repeatedly and collecting them all.
You can carry 40 blocks so you can have 2 of 20 different types in 'reserve'.
You'll be full when you reach the second to last planet, you can then excavate
1 of your 2 reserve blocks and have all the ones you can obtain up to that
point at a good lvl. You can then excavate the other sets when you get to lvl
100, you'll then have a full team of lvl 100 Spectrobes w/o having to lvl each
one manually.
-It's much easier to just lvl the character and then excavate Spectrobes since
they'll be close or match your lvl if you get an A Rank. Use Keto/Butobasu's
ABL, which increases EXP, to lvl quickly. Then excavate to have all your
Spectrobes at high lvls.
-Some Spectrobes will automatically use their STG ATKs on Krawl who guard or
fly.
-Although there are no shops, rice balls and minerals are common so don't be
shy about using them. If you get low you can always re-enter an area until you
have a decent amount again.
-Don't just speed through the game, take the time to explore areas and collect
items. It's better to have extra items then be short when you need them.
-Don't spam rice balls when you take some damage. Unless your in a Boss fight
there's usually no danger in letting your HP be a little low. If your
constantly trying to keep your self at full health during every fight then
you'll go through your supply faster than you can collect them. You don't
wanna have to stop playing and spend 20 minutes collecting more items when you
get low. Just try to stay around the half-way point when fighting in normal
battles.
-The best way to take down bosses is to use area based ATKs. With area ATKs
you can damage multiple parts of a boss, effectively multiplying your damage
by however many parts the ATK hits. SPLs that hit multiple times are also
useful. Make sure you position a Spectrobe so its SPL hits multiple parts. The
chest or head is the best as it will usually allow the arms/legs to get hit as
well.
-A good boss killing strategy is to fill the gauges of 6 Spectrobes and
unleash one after the other as quick and efficient as you can. Bosses tend to
become more vicious/powerful as their HP drops. Be careful not to ATK when a
boss goes to an out of reach area, such as when they cling to a wall or fly.
As the ATK will probably miss or be less effective.
-Powerful SPL ATK users include Dongiga, Zappizor, Zazanero, Ukazeer, Aobasar,
Shakablad(w/ low HP), Tortegarda, Zenipyra, Gokazoa, Saboquill, Gorberus,
Leozar, All Secret Spectrobes and Komadoros. Good Adults to use are Zuwaja,
Dongora, Sabogar, Gorgan, Shakor(w/ low HP), Ukalos, Zenigor, Zappira and
Komanoto.
-Remember to have a Spectrobe of each property to balance the team. Once you
know what properties you'll encounter on a planet you can resemble your team
so you only have Spectrobes that are strong against the enemies.
-Some Krawl are resistant to certain types of ATKs. Ranged ATKs may reflect
off an enemy and direct ATKs may be guarded against. Some enemies may resist
both types. It's best to use an axe on these enemies as axes break an enemies
guard. As for the Spectrobe just choose the one that has a property advantage
and/or has the highest ATK.
-Manually leveled Spectrobes are more powerful then ones straight out of a
fossil. For every 10 lvls gained through fighting, a Spectrobe will gain about
another 2-3 points in their stats. So if you lvl a Spectrobe long term then it
will be another 20-30 points stronger in all areas then one evolved from a
fossil at lvl 100.
-Save the stat-boosting minerals until the end of the game where you've
settled on a team and all your Spectrobes in general are at high lvls. For
most of the game, enemies can easily be defeated as long as you match up
properties well and your Spectrobes are at least at the lvls of the Krawl.
It's not until later in the game where large swarms of high lvl Krawl are
thrown at you where you should use them to make battles easier.
-Spectrobes that have stat boosting ABLs can get more use out of stat-boosting
minerals than other Spectrobes. Leozar can gain a 15 ATK bonus from an ATK
mineral while most others get only 10.
-I suggest you wait until your near the end of the game and you have your main
team selected. Then split the minerals you've collected throughout the game
between them. Give extras to anyone with a stat-boosting ABL. ABLs that give
a boost to direct/ranged ATKs should be included.
- In the Incubator you can pet your Spectrobes by flicking the nunchuck when
near them. This will make them follow you. By giving the Come Here! command
you can get them all to come to you. You can then give the Go! command to have
them all run forward at once.
(WLK)=====Walkthrough=====
This walkthrough will be done in a step by step/area by area fashion. I highly
suggest you read the previous sections as they explain about all gameplay,
most of which will not be repeated in the walkthrough. Here is the format to
be used for a Planet:
===========================
Planet Name
Krawl Level Range(KLR)
Major Krawl Property(MKP)
Minor Krawl Property(mKP)
Available Spectrobe Fossils(SF)
Minerals that can be found
Items that can be found
===========================
Here is the format to be used for Areas:
===============================
Area Name
Property Barrier(PB) Yes/No
Save Point(SP) Yes/No
# of Dark Crystals/Battles(DCB)
===============================
It's best if this walkthrough is read from the beginning but you really start
from wherever you need.
--Start
When the game is at the start screen you can enter the cheat in the Card Input
Section(UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT,A, then you should hear a sound). This will put a
Metallic Ryza and Leo in the first box of your Incubator. These two Spectrobes
cannot normally be gotten until some in-game progress, so it's very useful to
have them from the start. They will also keep their metallic color as they
evolve. Although, you can't use them until you gain access to the Incubator
in-game. It's up to you whether you want them or not, but you must decide
before you start a file. Once a file is started the code will not work on it,
but can affect another file that hasn't been started yet.
Whatever you decide name the new file and watch the opening cut-scenes. When
they're over you'll be on the first planet. During the first planet the game
will be giving tutorials, but this is not a practice level, you can die.
=======================================(PWA)
