|1| Introduction --
-------------------
This is a unique Skies of Arcadia Legends (GCN) discovery
guide that focuses on shortcuts rather than brief descriptions
to finding discoveries. If other guides you read do not help,
try this shortcut guide as it elaborates in more detail with a
lot of simple tricks. If you follow the instructions as given,
there is no reason the "so-called hard" discoveries shouldn't be
easy to find.
I will use checkpoints and other discoveries frequently as
references to help you find new discoveries. I think it is
the easiest approach to finding discoveries because small
descriptions alone are too vague and can keep you searching
for hours. As a complement to this shortcut guide, check out
GameFAQs Gamepsychotic's discovery map:
http://www.geocities.com/gamepsychotic/Skies_discoverymap.gif
The reason for wanting to obtain all of the discoveries is
to qualify for the special ranking of "Vyse the Legend" or
"Exploration King Vyse". It's also one of the requirements
if you want to fight *** Air Pirate Vigoro, buy the Sky Fang,
and find the Golden Hamachou. (For a complete list of the
requirements needed, click on the link "Codes & Secrets"
under the FAQ page.)
Remember, it is best to find 30 discoveries as soon as you
can because it will pay off later. I recommend you make
finding discoveries a top priority when the Sailor's
Guild lists them because the quicker you find them, the
more money you'll be rewarded. If you find the discoveries
quick enough you will prevent Domingo (another discovery
hunter) from receiving credit for finding the discoveries
initially. But rest assured, if you don't find one or more
of them before Domingo does you can still obtain a special
ranking. It still shows up in your record that you found a
discovery regardless if you found it first or merely
confirmed it.
-------------------------
|2| Instruction Format --
-------------------------
I go by a numbered difficulty scale for discoveries...
Difficulty:
0 - Automatic
1 - Very Easy
2
3 - Average
4
5 - Very Hard
(You won't find many hard ones here.)
I will emphasize in parenthesis what sky level discoveries
can be found by either Upper, Mid, and/or Lower Sky. Upper
Sky is the level above the cloud ceiling. Mid Sky is the
between the cloud ceiling and cloud floor. Lower Sky is the
level below the cloud floor. Until you advance further in the
game you will be limited to navigate only Mid Sky.
(Upper Sky)
~ Cloud Ceiling ~
(Mid Sky)
(Mid Sky)
(Mid Sky)
~ Cloud Floor ~
(Lower Sky)
In the directions description, I will normally go by 16
different navigations as references...
North
North/Northeast
Northeast
East/Northeast
East
East/Southeast
Southeast
South/Southeast
South
South/Southwest
Southwest
West/Southwest
West
West/Northwest
Northwest
North/Northwest
Obviously if I told you to head north/northeast, I don't
want you to "choose" whether you want to go north or
northeast. It means precisely between those routes.
This is how the format will look...
57) Flutterflies <-- Discovery Number/Name
Difficulty: 1 <-- Level of Difficulty
Directions: go here go <-- Specific Instructions
go here go here
(Upper Sky) <-- Sky Level of Discovery
Last note... I will constantly emphasize the word
"directly" in the directions and inform you to keep clicking the
A button. As annoying as it sounds, you might miss a discovery if
you are slightly off your navigation.

I would like to thank the developers of Overworks for making this
extraordinary RPG. I have played dozens of RPGs in my time
