A: Go to the Doll Castle. Search the dungeon for a Marion Doll. After getting the doll, bring it to Noiman's house. Go to a dungeon and exit the dungeon or switch characters and go back to Noiman's house. The Marion doll will grow and join your party! Just go back to Hitsuji and the companion choices should now have Marion. Q: How do I end the game? A: The opposite of how you started the game! What? You don't know? The game starts by having a magic book open. You must find the book to end the game (in other words, end the story). After closing the book, go to the characters "Piece" and the game will end there. See below in () for the character and the dungeon piece they are related to. Q: How many dungeons are there? A: 7 main dungeons (The first dungeon with the knight is only a mini-dungeon) Below is a list 0) Clock Tower (Sword) 1) Fire Mountain Cave 2) Forest Battle Field (Rao) 3) King's Tomb (Ryle) 4) Grand Labyrinth (Marlin) 5) Downtown (Lady) 6) Doll Castle (Marion) 7) Last Dungeon *****DUNGEON CONCEPTS********************************************************** There are many subtle things know when traveling about the dungeons. Q: What is the Investigate (X button) used for and what is satiety? A: The X button is important in uncovering traps and items within in the dungeon (the orange/grey sections in the game). But there is a cost. Your satiety (fullness) meter decreases. The satiety meter also reduces over time. If you satiety meter is reduced down to 0 you will start losing hit points over time. Think of this condition as starving. It will only increase again if you eat fruit. There a special fruit with the only purpose is to recover that meter (make you full again!). See the items section for more detail. Q: Why am I not allowed in the dungeon? A: All characters require you to have a set number of items when you enter the dungeon. For example Sword can only enter a dungeon with 4 items regardless of his rank. But Rao can enter a dungeon with 6 items. When in town, pull up the item menu and you will see that the menu has a transparent black bars near the button. Anything still in the tan/brown area is the character item limit for the dungeon. Q: What are the ways I can exit a dungeon? A: There are several ways to exit. Below is a list. 1) Finish off the boss in the dungeon and then exit 2) Use an escape item (or magic). 3) Main character's hit points are reduced to 0. Q: What happens when I die in a dungeon? A: Here's the list 1) You will lose all items that are not equipped 2) Equipped items may get broken 3) You will lose all unregistered monsters 4) Any monsters that died in battle need to be revived by Dr. Anna 5) Penalty is applied if you have a quest (some quests do not have penalties) Q: Where do I buy escape items? A: You must trade your money in at the VMU Device in the monster house for tokens. Use the barter option and buy the escape item there. It is the first item on the barter list. It's best used to finish up quests without having to fight the end boss. Q: Why is my level always reduced down to 1 when I re-enter a dungeon? A: This keeps the dungeon a challenge by putting restrictions on what you can bring in to a dungeon. But your Rank/Title and skills/magic will stay the same. Q: Why LOCK/UNLOCK skills/magic before a dungeon/floor and why unequip items in battle? A: This is an important concept. If you don't do this then certain commands will not be available. For example, if an item/skill causes your agility to be blue (review your status!) you may not be able to use the movement command during battle. This also applies to skills. If all your skills are unlocked when going into a dungeon (which causes some status to be blue) you may not be able to use any skills for the length of the floor until your attributes meet the required level. The same reason goes for unequipping in battle. For example, if you get inflicted with a parameter down condition, you may want to unequip an item to open up some your option again, but you can usually survive battle without having to do so. Hopefully you can use your monsters as back up! Q: How do you save in a dungeon? A: You can only save in a dungeon when you get to the next floor. This is the First option in the second NEXT DUNGEON SCREEN. As a word of warning, if you start a game and you reset the game, you will lose that save. The dungeon saves are temporary. Q: How will I know if I've maxed out my Rank/Title? A: It will turn yellow. Remember this also applies to monsters in your party. ***SHOP INTRODUCTION********************************************************** There are a total of 10 "Shop Owners" in the world.

When you remodel, you must enter a dungeon in order for the changes to take place. Sword's House LV2 enables a total of 32 items to be stored in the warehouse. Sword's House LV3 enables a total of 96 items to be stored in the warehouse. Sword's House LV4 enables a total of 224 items to be stored in the warehouse.

All items are designated with a STAR in front of the item listed. These are display only items and can be added to the Collection warehouse (the door on the right of Sword's house). There seems to be a total of 14 possible items that can be placed in the collection warehouse (1 being the picture from the Yutakana Jinsei Pakku game). As far as I know, this is only for show and serves no purpose. ***NOIMAN'S QUESTS************************************************************* Noiman is where you go on quests to get rare items. It's true that you may acquire them on you own but you may find it quick to take a quest to get the item/skill. For example, you could find the Yogurt Ring in the dungeon or you could take a quest and receive one for all your hard work. Noiman has 6 types of quests. Boss Attack - Fight the boss in the dungeon specified Item Search - Collect the items Monster Search - Fight a certain number of specific monsters (picture of monster appears in the hint box) Monster Capture and Raise - Capture a monster and raise the creature above the level specified Monster Attack - Attack a large number of monsters Search Dungeon Completely - Search the level specified completely (Level should be full explored - all green) ---Quest Description Screen ---------------------------------------------------- | Work Details| | Participation Fee | | | | Description | | | | Reward | | Item/Skill | | | | [Hint] [picture of monster] | | Escape Topography/Species/ | | Annihilation Appearance Estimate (Appearance % or Number in Dungeon) | | Failure Penalty Lowest/Highest Floor (of Dungeon) | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It easier to see the summary of the quests via the quest summary. ---------------- | Item | | Skill | | Magic | | Status |--> --Status------------------------ | Picture Book | | Character Name Title | | Companion | | Condition | ----------------- -------------------------------- -Parameter----------- -------------------------- |() | | |() | | |() | Type of Quest: <1 of the 6 types> | Go here ---> |Quest | Location is described on the 2nd line | but don't |() | 3rd line contains other details | hit A button ------------------------------------------------ (hitting A gives you the Quest Screen) **********************VMU MINI-GAMES******************************************** There are a total of 6 mini-games in Climax Landers which are accessed via the first room to the right in the monster house. There are S versions of certain games, as well as other VMU called the Great Game. I was unable to get the "Great Game" and I don't know the difference between the S versions of the games other then the expensive price. I may update later if I came across these games again. MONEY CHEAT There is also a money cheat you can do to increase your money. First, sell everything you got. If you have lengendary items, sell them to Noiman. Next, Download a game that requires you to transmit tokens. Then transmit your tokens to your VMU. Reset the game again and you will notice that you didn't lose any money and the tokens are still in your VMU. Transfer the tokens back and you've increased your money by 50%! Repeat as often as you like. You can also just keep converting money and transfering the tokens to the VMU after each reset until you're ready to transfer them back. Remember to save after the final transfer back to the main game or all your work will be wasted. Now can go to the blacksmith brothers, strengthen the lengendary items and reduce the parameter requirements to 0! You can also buy three lengendary items from the barter method from the VMU Menu. Time to put that money to good use! VISUAL MEMORY DEVICE MENU (MONSTER HOUSE) Transmit Game Delete Game Token --> Barter/Exchange (A very costly way to get items) --> Transmit Income (Transfer tokens back from the VMU) --> Take Out (Transfer tokens to VMU for use) --> Buy (Tokens) --> Turn into money (Tokens) Transmit Monster (used for Tobbarai DE Shokunai mini-game) --> Send Out --> Welcome Back Climax Edit (used with Yutakana Jinsei Pakku mini-game) --> Picture Frame --> Icon *************Tsuyu Dark IV - 123 Blocks needed A typical 3D dungeon game. Requires 3 tokens to play. The game ends when your life goes to 0. Your score will then be transformed into additional tokens.

Make your monster work for you to get tokens. As a side note the money trick also works for monsters also. So you can make multiple monsters if you feel like it. Use the 4th option in the monster house to transfer the monster. Transmit Monster --> Send Out --> Welcome Back TASKS/JOBS Handout Tissuepaper (This is a very common in Japan during humid season) Put up Parasols/Umbrellas Interpreter Sales Nurse Construction Work Body Guard Once a task is choosen then you have 4 more options Work Sleep Status (see STATUS MENU) Stop Working STATUS MENU (4 pages total) p1 P2 p3 p4 Current Task Loyality Progress Achievements TK: Tokens Time Belligerency Blood Type Mistakes ABOUT BLOOD TYPES Here a little bit about each of the blood type for the monsters Blood Type A - Deligent and Punctual Blood Type B - Moody and Euthusiasm Blood Type AB - Double Personality Blood Type O - Forgiving and Works at own pace CONDITIONS Reward/Penalty - For work done you will receive tokens.

See below for a description of each. **** Chicken Catch (Niwatori Tsukami Tori) **** Concept of the game is to catch chickens and throw them back into the fenced area located at the top of the screen within 30 seconds. Controls A button - pick up/throw the chicken B button - jump Directional Pad - Movement **** Super Exotic Slot Machine **** Must have tokens to play this game. Below is the Third Option in the VMU DEVICE MENU and what you will need before you get started. The game itself is self explainatory. Token --> Barter/Exchange --> Transmit Income (Transfer tokens back from the VMU) --> *Take Out (Transfer tokens to VMU) --> *Buy (Tokens) - Cost is 100 --> Turn into money (Tokens) - You get 50 in exchange for your token (*) marked is what you need to play the game. First choose Buy, then Take Out to transfer tokens to the game. Use Transmit Income to transfer your winnings or what's left if you lost back into the game. Then turn your tokens back into money for a very bad exchange rate. But you can win very big from the slot machine regardless of the exchange rate. Your best bet is to get a Yogurt in the 1st position to break even. A second one will get you 3 times your bet and a third will get you 10 times your bet! Your max bet is 3. So are you ready to gamble? **** Extreme Rock, Scissor, Paper (Mottomo Kikenna Jaken) **** Simple game of rock, paper, scissor. You first have 10 choices. With more wins, this will increase by 10 for each level up.

Controls A button - Hit the mole B button - Menu used only in Eternity mode --> Score --> Continue --> Stop --> Sound -> On -> Off Directional Pad - Move Cursor over mole *************Yutakana Jinsei Pack (The Rich Life Collection) - 112 Blocks needed This contains some nice little programs to personalize your VMU. There are 3 programs contained in the "Pack". **** Climax Edit **** This little program allows you to create animation (with 8 frames) and personize your VMU with the creation of your own icon. The image can also be displayed in your game as a picture in your collection warehouse. Check the fifth option in the VMU menu to transmit the pictures. Note that the first save file will the one that is saved as your Picture Frame/Icon. (check the main VMU section for the full menu. Located in the main game.) Climax Edit (used with Yutakana Jinsei Pakku mini-game) --> Picture Frame --> Icon (2 blocks needed) Main VMU Menu Edit (A button to draw a point. B to erase a point. You can also hold down a button and use the directional pad. This is the only place you will need to hit the mode button to exit the program.)

When you first use the program, it will ask to enter your profile. This is used to transfer your information to other friends VMU. The data entry is different from the save in the Climax Edit. On the first row, second entry to the right is where you select the text type. Keep hitting the A button to cycle through the choices. It will always display the next set of characters to choose from. Next choose a character. You will notice that not all the character will be available. To get access to other characters, you must keep hitting the A button. For example, if you are using the English character set, move your cursor to the "D" and hit the A button to get "E", and again to get "F". Hit the A button one more time will get "d", then "e" and then "f". If directional pad is hit, the cursor will automatically increment a space. Hitting B will backspace or erase current character entry if not yet accepted. You will be requested to enter you name, then phone number, your birthday (YY/MM/DD), your blood type and then a memo. You will then get an options menu. MAIN VMU MENU List - Use A button to select entry. Once select, push down on pad for memo. Data Entry (See above info) Correct (Same as Data Entry) Delete Information - Lists number of entries (256 possible) & Total Exchanged Data (EX) Transmit - You will get the message waiting to connect **** Fortune teller (Uranai no Yukata) **** Not much to this program. Just enter into each option to view your present, predication, lucky number and color. MAIN VMU MENU Present and Prediction Prediction List Lucky Number Lucky Color *************Yogurt no DaiBouKen (Yogurt's Great Adventure) - 108 Blocks needed This is an odd little game. You must wait until your friendship meter increases and then you can control Yogurt....sort of. At the start you have two choices, What's Yogurt and Yogurt's Mansion. What's Yogurt has two choices "Going on an Errand" and "Treasure Hunt" You need to get Yogurt to go into the 4 buildings in "Going on an Errand" and in "Treasure Hunt" you need Yogurt to find the treasure from one of the 10 locations. You will either get a bone or a treasure. If you find a treasure the games ends. Yogurt on the map is a / or \ and the "goals" are _| or |-. The max the friendship meter can reach is 30 and once you have control over Yogurt, you can only hope that he will go in the building or dig up a treasure. Once your friendship meter goes to 0 you will lose control over Yogurt. Also, once your action meter (located on the bottom left hand side of the screen) reaches 0 your game will be over. Yogurt's Mansion contains a 10 room mansion. Each door has a Yogurt in a room doing different things. Only the 1st room is available. Later, other rooms will have Yogurts after you play the quest part of the game. Normal Mode Control Pad - Not Used A Button - To use Friendship Mode B Button - Action History (Last 8 actions) -> Map -> Exit Friendship Mode (To the left of friendship meter an "M" should appear) Control Pad - Move Yogurt A Button - Action (Yogurt will do random things with the press of the button) B Button - Action History (Last 8 actions) -> Map -> Exit *************Nanwaka Densetsu (Nanwaka Lengend) - 128 Blocks needed For those want a classic 2D RPG, this game is for you.
