1 Basics
===============================================================================
Before you jump into the walkthrough, here is some background info:
* The Battle Memory is found in a gift box on the first floor of Osohe
Castle, near where you get the Rope Snake. It's a Key Item that keeps
track of all the enemies you've encountered, and which of their poses
you've seen. (Most enemies have two poses; a few, mainly bosses, have
only one.) You can practice combos on any enemies logged in the Battle
Memory; they'll have infinite HP and won't fight back.
* Aside from a sense of personal accomplishment, there's no big reward
for completing the Battle Memory. But, if you're playing with
starmen.net's translation, your Battle Memory will be marked with a
silver star if you log every enemy, and a gold one if you log every
enemy and every pose. If you beat the game with one of these
achievements, a secret will be revealed to you during the ending:
* Silver: Hold down the L and R buttons when you open the Status
Menu to open the secret Memo Menu.
* Gold: Enter the player's name in the Forest Sanctuary in Chapter
2 as "HARD MODE" to activate Hard Mode.
* When you see a new enemy or pose in battle, it's logged immediately;
you do not have to finish the battle. It's okay to run away or a get a
game over. (In fact, one situation requires it.)
* Enemies and poses can only be logged to the Battle Memory from real
battles. Any new poses you encounter in fights initiated using the
Battle Memory itself do NOT count. (If they did, there wouldn't be
much point to this guide!)
* Although there are a few rare enemies, the real challenge for
completing the Battle Memory is getting enemies to assume their
alternate poses. There are a few ways to go about this:
* Get a green swirl when you initiate battle
* Get a red swirl; Duster might flip the enemies around
automatically
* Use a Made-You-Look
* Use Duster's Siren Beetle
* Use Salsa's Dance
* Let the enemy change poses by itself (examples include Pseudoor,
Mecha-Turtle and any bosses that have two poses)
* Finally, please note that you can only force an enemy to change its
pose in a regular battle; in "mandatory battles" (i.e. scripted
battles that are necessary to advance the plot), the Siren Beetle,
Made-You-Look, etc. will never work. (This is mainly applicable to the
Pigmask Major and Pigmask Colonel; you encounter these enemies in
mandatory battles in Chapter 7, but you can't fight them regularly
until Chapter 8.)
===============================================================================
2 Walkthrough
===============================================================================
Note that enemies with only one pose have their names written {like this}.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.1 Prologue
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The {Mole Cricket} will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2 Chapter 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first three chapters are the most difficult, and Chapter 1 is the most
difficult of all. There are many enemies exclusive to this chapter, and
you have to rely on green swirls for all of them.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.2.1 Sunshine Forest (Fire)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Log the Yammonster before you return Fuel to his father. WARNING: This
enemy is available only while the forest is on fire.
The {Firefly} will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.2.2 Sunshine Forest (Night)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Log the following enemies while it's raining:
* Mighty Bitey Snake
* Baked Yammonster
The {Reconstructed Caribou} will be logged automatically in a mandatory
battle.
Notes:
* WARNING: These enemies will also appear in Sunshine Forest during the
day, but they're gone for good after this chapter.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.2.3 Sunshine Forest (Day)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Log the following enemies on the way to Alec's House:
* Praying Mantis
* Greedy Mouse
* Flying Mouse
* Beanling
* Soot Dumpling
* Spud Bug
* Agitated Boar
Notes:
* WARNING: Most of these enemies are available only in this chapter, and
you will lose access to them after you talk to the Magypsies. (The
Praying Mantis and Greedy Mouse appear near Isaac's house, so you can
also log them in Chapter 2 or Chapter 3.)
* WARNING: The Agitated Boar disappears when Alec joins your party.
* To get a green swirl on the Flying Mouse, try engaging one and then
running away. Now just stand still; when both of you stop flashing,
another battle will start, and you might get a green swirl. If you
don't, just run away and try again.
* Getting a green swirl on a Spud Bug is trickier; I couldn't get the
above trick to work. There are a couple options:
* Try this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX7QoE3R4Wc
* An easier, but more tedious method is to level Flint up until he
can stun Spud Bugs by dashing into them; after the enemy stops
flashing, it will run away from Flint, and you can get a green
swirl easily. (Don't go overboard with the leveling, though; this
won't work if Flint's dash defeats them instantly instead of
stunning them.)
* The Beanling is a rare enemy that appears in the northern part of the
area that connects Isaac's House and Lighter's House. If you see one,
dash after it until it retreats into the ground, then run around the
nearby area until you see it reemerge. Like a Yammonster, it takes a
couple seconds to pull itself out of the ground, so you shouldn't have
trouble getting a green swirl.
* The Soot Ball is a rare enemy that appears in front of Lighter's
House. It just rolls back and forth, so it's easy to get a green swirl
on it; just make sure that you walk, not dash, when you approach it.
+++++++++++++++++++
2.2.4 Drago Plateau
+++++++++++++++++++
The {Mecha-Drago} will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle.
Notes:
* There are no plot-related reasons to return to Drago Plateau after
Chapter 1; this is probably why the enemies in this area are never
updated. Since Chapter 1 is already hard enough, I suggest you come
back in Chapter 7 to log the three enemies in this area.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.3 Chapter 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.3.1 Sunshine Forest (Night)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Before you collect the Noble Spittoon, enter Sunshine Forest and log Mr.
Batty. You could have logged him during the night segments of Chapter 1,
but it's easier to do it now. You can also log Mr. Batty in Chapter 7, in
the dark cave that leads to Drago Plateau.
+++++++++++++++++++++
2.3.2 Sunset Cemetery
+++++++++++++++++++++
Log the following enemies in the outdoor area of the Cemetery:
* Zombie Man
* Zombie Lady
* Zombie Dog
* Mobile Grave
Log the following enemies in the Gravedigger's Tunnel:
* Detached Leech
* Spineless Lobster
Notes:
* WARNING: The enemies in the Gravedigger's Tunnel are available only in
this chapter. You will lose access to the tunnel after collecting the
Noble Spittoon. You will also lose access to the enemies in the
outdoor area at that time, but those can also be logged in Chapter 3.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.3.3 Osohe Castle (Night)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Log the following enemies before giving the Noble Spittoon to Wess:
* Stinky Ghost
* Arachnid!
* Barrel Man
* Ghost Armor
* Artsy Ghost
* Violent Roach
* {Strawberry Slime}
* Carpet Monster
* Ghost Sword
* Ghost Shield
* Ghost Knight
* Rockin' Ghost
* Pseudoor
{Mr. Passion} will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle.
Notes:
* WARNING: The Rockin' Ghost is still available after you return the
Noble Spittoon to Wess, but it disappears for good after this chapter.
* The Pseudoor will assume its alternate pose after performing its
defensive move.
* The {Strawberry Slime} is a unique enemy found in the second floor
kitchen. If you don't fight it now, it will disappear in Chapter 3,
but then reappear in Chapter 4 and remain available until the end of
Chapter 7. (I've only verified this using the Debug Room though, so I
suggest you play it safe and just take care of it now.)
* The Arachnid!, Stinky Ghost, Artsy Ghost and Violent Roach disappear
once the Pig Army invades the Castle. Oddly, they all reappear in
Chapter 7. (The Violent Roach is also available in Candrum Underpass
in Chapter 3.)
* The Barrel Man is available in the basement until the end of Chapter
7.
* The Carpet Monster and Pseudoor are available until you lose the Rope
Snake in Chapter 5. Ghost Armor, Ghost Sword and Ghost Shield are also
available until then, but, I think that if you're too powerful when
you come back (that is, they flee from you), these enemies won't come
together to form the Ghost Knight.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.3.4 Osohe Castle (Day)
++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Clayman will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle.
Log the following enemies before collecting the Hummingbird Egg:
* Pigmask
* Recon Mech
* Lingering Spirit
* Osohe Cape
The Oh-So-Snake will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle.
Notes:
* The Clayman will assume his alternate pose after performing his
"...crashed down upon _____ with all of its weight" move.
* If you miss the Pigmask or Recon Mech, they can be fought again in
Sunshine Forest near the end of Chapter 3. The Pigmask can also be
found in the Chimera Lab in Chapter 7 (after you rescue Salsa and talk
to Doria), and outside the abandoned Clayman Factory in Chapter 7.
* The Lingering Spirit and Osohe Cape can be found on the upper floors
of the castle until you lose the Rope Snake in Chapter 5.
* The Oh-So-Snake will assume its alternate pose after performing its
Tsunami attack.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.4 Chapter 3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember that Salsa's Dance technique can flip enemies around. It's not
nearly as effective as Duster's Siren Beetle, but it's better than
nothing.
++++++++++++++++++
2.4.1 Death Desert
++++++++++++++++++
Log the following enemies before leaving the Desert:
* Dung Beetle
* Sand Lizard
* Sara-Sara-Sahara
* Great Antlion
The {Cactus Wolf} will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle.
Notes:
* WARNING: These enemies are available only in this chapter.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
2.4.2 Candrum Underpass
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Log the HUGE Pillbug. WARNING: The HUGE Pillbug is available only in this
chapter.
The {Gooey Goo} will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle.
++++++++++++++++++
2.4.3 Osohe Castle
++++++++++++++++++
Log the following enemies in the Osohe Castle Basement:
* Big Bro
* Li'l Big Bro
Notes:
* WARNING: These enemies are gone for good after this chapter.
* The Big Bro can be logged in Chapter 2, it's just more convenient to
do it now. You don't need the Siren Beetle; the Big Bro's slow,
erratic movement pattern makes it easy to get a green swirl.
+++++++++++++++++++++
2.4.4 Sunshine Forest
+++++++++++++++++++++
The Pork Tank will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle. The Pork
Tank will assume its alternate pose after suffering a certain amount of
damage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.5 Chapter 4
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The quest for a complete Battle Memory gets easier at this point. There
are still a few areas that you only get to visit once, but most of the
enemies you encounter in Chapters 4 - 7 will be available until the end of
Chapter 7. Since most of the enemies you meet in this chapter can be
fought later, we're going to save them for the Chapter 5, when Duster is
back in the party.
++++++++++++++++++
2.5.1 Club Titiboo
++++++++++++++++++
Log the following enemies before dropping into Lucky's Room:
* Slimy Slug
* Greedier Mouse
* Arachnid!!!!
* Elder Batty
* Gently Weeping Guitar
* Beaten Drum
The {Jealous Bass} will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle.
Notes:
* You can buy Made-You-Looks from the mouse shop in the attic. In
addition to using them for these enemies, you might want to deposit
five or six with the Item Guy. (These are for Snowcap Mountain in
Chapter 7; you won't normally have Duster with you for that area. Of
course, if you don't mind a lot of backtracking, you can just return
there after you get Duster back.)
* WARNING: After you drop into Lucky's Room, you will not be able to
return to the attic or underground tunnel. The only one of these
enemies that you can find later is the Elder Batty, who appears in
Chapter 7 in the Dark Cave leading to Drago Plateau.
* Remember, you can't use Made-You-Looks on the Gently Weeping Guitar
and Beaten Drum in the boss battle. You must fight them separately to
log their alternate poses.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.6 Chapter 5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
++++++++++++++
2.6.1 Catch Up
++++++++++++++
The first thing you should do in Chapter 5 is trek all the way back to
Osohe Castle to fight Lord Passion. On the way there, you can log all the
enemies you skipped in Chapter 4.
Log the follow enemies in the area around the Ropeway:
* Reconstructed Mole
* Cattlesnake
* Pigtunia
* Batangutan
Log the following enemies on the Railway:
* Slitherhen
* Really Flying Mouse
* Ramblin' Mushroom
* Squawking Stick
* Muttshroom
Notes:
* WARNING: All of these enemies are available until the end of Chapter
7, except the Squawking Stick; in Chapter 7, the Squawking Stick
disappears and is replaced by the Squawking Boomstick.
Log the following enemies in Sunshine Forest:
* Grated Yammonster
* Black Beanling
* Walking Bushie
* Big Spud Bug
* Mischievous Mole
Also, head north out of the forest and log the Crag Lizard.
Notes:
* None of these enemies are going anywhere. Since you have to pass
through the forest in Chapter 7 to reach Argilla Pass, you could wait
until then to take care of them, if you want.
* The Black Beanling appears in the same area as the Beanling and
exhibits the same behavior. Here's a video that shows how to catch
one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ByVSiwK_0o
* The Mischievous Mole is in the small cave to the right of the location
where you fought the {Reconstructed Caribou}.
Finally, return to Osohe Castle and log {Lord Passion}. WARNING: Lord
Passion is available only in this chapter.
+++++++++++++++++++++
2.6.2 Murasaki Forest
+++++++++++++++++++++
Log the following enemies on the way to the Clayman Factory:
* Parental Kangashark
* Reconstructed Lion
* Mecha-Turtle
Notes:
* These enemies are also available in Chapter 7.
+++++++++++++
2.6.3 Highway
+++++++++++++
The {Fierce Pork Trooper [1]} will be logged automatically in a mandatory
battle.
Log the following enemies on your way to the Garbage Dump:
* Wound-Up Road Hog
* Scrapped Robot
* Road Block
* Bright Smile
* Wobbly Robot
* Atomic Power Robot
* Rhinocerocket
The {Forlorn Junk Heap} will be logged automatically in a mandatory
battle.
Notes:
* All of these enemies are available in Chapter 7.
* WARNING: They look similar, so it's easy to confuse the Wobbly Robot
and Scrapped Robot. Make sure you get both.
* The Bright Smile is a rare enemy. Unlike the other rare enemies in
this game, it has multiple spawn points. (It spawns in some of the
tunnels in this area. I don't know if it spawns in all of them.)
Here's one way to find it: take your Pork Bean to the lower right
corner of the construction site. (That's the area with the Mouse
Mother and the Rhinocerockets.) Enter the tunnel here. Keeping the
Pork Bean all the way to the left, against the tunnel wall, move south
in a straight line, through the first set of Road Blocks. Keep moving
south until the second set of Road Blocks comes into view; at that
point, you can turn around and head back out of the tunnel. Reenter
the tunnel and repeat the process; you should eventually encounter a
Bright Smile between the two sets of Road Blocks.
+++++++++++++++++++
2.6.4 Thunder Tower
+++++++++++++++++++
Log the following enemies before engaging the {Fierce Pork Trooper [2]}:
* Whatever
* Minor Robot
* Battery Man
The {Fierce Pork Trooper [2]} will be logged automatically in a mandatory
battle.
Notes:
* WARNING: You cannot return to the lower level of Thunder Tower after
you defeat the {Fierce Pork Trooper [2]}.
Log the following enemies before engaging Mr. Genetor:
* Screwloose
* {Surprise Box}
* Li'l Miss Marshmallow
* Short Circuit Zap!
Mr. Genetor will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle.
Notes:
* WARNING: These enemies are available only in this chapter.
* The {Surprise Box} is a unique enemy found in a gift box in King P.'s
Room.
* Li'l Miss Marshmallow is a unique enemy found in King P.'s Room;
she'll attack you if you examine the yo-yo in the display case.
* Li'l Miss Marshmallow will assume her alternate pose after after she
suffers a certain amount of damage.
* Mr. Genetor will assume his alternate pose after his "Discharge Zap
attack".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.7 Chapter 7
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For this chapter, I assume that you're doing things in the standard order.
You don't have to; if you want Duster back ASAP, you can go rescue him
after you check on the Needle in Osohe Castle. But whatever you do, don't
open up the entrance to the Mole Cricket Hole until you've pulled Doria's
Needle. (That's the one near the Chimera Lab.) This will be explained
shortly.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.7.1 Chimera Laboratory
++++++++++++++++++++++++
The {Almost Mecha-Lion} will be logged automatically in a mandatory
battle.
WARNING: After you've pulled Doria's Needle, you'll be ambushed by {The
Squeekz} in the lake area east of the Chimera Lab. This is an easy fight;
it's really just the game's way of telling you where to go to find the
next Needle. After you beat him, he'll warn you to "watch out for them
mole crickets if you keep goin' east". But, if you've already opened up
the Mole Cricket Hole at this point, you don't need this hint, and {The
Squeekz} will never show up.
++++++++++++++++++++++
2.7.2 Snowcap Mountain
++++++++++++++++++++++
If you stored any Made-You-Looks with the Item Guy back in the Titiboo
Attic, withdraw them before entering the Mole Cricket Hole.
Log the following enemies before leaving Snowcap Mountain:
* Ten-Yeti
* Chilly Dog
* Frosted Bun
The {Steel Mechorilla} will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle.
Notes:
* The Frosted Bun is a rare enemy. You can find it next to the gift box
that contains a Cancer Bracelet. Enter the area from the top, and run
down the slope; if you don't see the enemy (it looks like a snowball),
run back up, exit the area, and try again.
* These enemies are available for the rest of the chapter, so if you
don't bring Made-You-Looks with you, you can just come back after you
get Duster. Trekking through the Mole Cricket Hole again is a pain,
though.
+++++++++++++++++++
2.7.3 Saturn Valley
+++++++++++++++++++
The {Frightbot} will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle.
After you get Duster back, reenter the tunnel to the highway and log the
following enemies:
* Naughty Mushroom
* Filthy Attack Roach
Log the following enemies in the Volcano:
* Sky Titany
* Mrs. Lava
* Pyrefly
* Magman
* Scamperin' Mushroom
{New Fassad} will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle.
Notes:
* All of these enemies are available for the remainder of the chapter.
* Although you encounter the Pigmask Major here, you won't be able to
fight him outside of an event battle until Chapter 8.
* You can also find the Scamperin' Mushroom on Tanetane Island.
++++++++++++++
2.7.4 Catch Up
++++++++++++++
Now that you've got Duster back for good, let's get completely caught up.
First, trek back to Drago Plateau and log:
* Titany
* Balding Eagle
* Tree
Notes:
* When you are very powerful, the Tree enemies will hide from you by
standing still and pretending to be regular trees.
* Because it can fly, you might have some trouble logging the Balding
Eagle when it's afraid of you. To catch one, you have to dash towards
it, stop just short of hitting it, and then walk up to it to initiate
the battle before it flys away.
From Drago Plateau, head back to Aeolia's House. Retrace your steps from
the beginning of the chapter: head through the underground tunnel to Osohe
Castle Courtyard, logging the Cleocatra on the way.
Head into the castle basement and log the following enemies:
* Cheery Skeleton
* Bro Team
Notes:
* These enemies are available until the end of Chapter 7.
Head for Murasaki Forest; on the way there, log the Squawking Boomstick on
the Railway.
Log the following enemies around the Chimera Lab and the nearby lake:
* Dogfish
* Top Dogfish
* Ostrelephant
* Horsantula
* Einswine
Notes:
* The Top Dogfish is a rare enemy. It appears on the left side of the
lake near the Chimera Laboratory. To find one, enter the lake area
from the left and run about halfway up the side of the lake; if you
see just a regular Dogfish jump out, leave the screen and try again.
Log the following enemies inside the Chimera Lab:
* Zombidillo
* Pigmask Captain
* Nice Poser
* Security Robot
Notes:
* You can find the Zombidillo in the basement and freezer.
* The Security Robot is in a few different rooms on the first and second
floors. You can also find it in the abandoned factory by the Highway.
* The Nice Poser is found on the third floor. Take the back elevator to
reach him.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
2.7.5 Sea Floor Dungeon
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Before you leave for Tanetane Island, deposit all your money.
Log the following enemies on the way to Tanetane Island:
* Navy SQUEAL
* Carefree Jellyfish
* Rooound Fish
* Rock Lobster
* Fish Roe Man
{Master Eddy} will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle.
Notes:
* These enemies are available until the end of this chapter.
* To find the Fish Roe Man, go south from the start point until you
reach an oxygen machine; refill your oxygen, and keep going south.
Take the right path; you should find another oxygen machine as soon as
you enter the next screen. Refill with this one, then go back to the
previous screen and head left. Follow this path, and you can just
barely make it to another oxygen machine in time; after that, keep
following the path, and you'll find Fish Roe Man guarding a gift box
containing the Awesome Crown.
+++++++++++++++++++++
2.7.6 Tanetane Island
+++++++++++++++++++++
WARNING: When you reach Tanetane Island, save with the frog, then fight
{Zombieshroom} *BEFORE* you eat the mushrooms. He'll knock out your party,
and you'll respawn back at the frog.
Now eat the mushrooms, and fight {Zombieshroom} again. This battle will
log the {Eerie Smile}.
Notes:
* You may observe that after eating the mushrooms, you can just walk
past {Zombieshroom} without fighting him. This raises a couple of
questions. What if you just came back and fought {Zombieshroom} after
you'd talked to Mixolydia? Couldn't the {Eerie Smile} instead be
logged by fighting any of the regular enemies in the jungle?
Unfortunately, it's no on both counts; {Zombieshroom} disappears after
the shrooms wear off, and, even though all enemies will appear as an
{Eerie Smile} after you eat the shrooms, you can only log it by
fighting {Zombieshroom}.
On your way to the Barrier Trio, log the Unwelcome Gust.
The Barrier Trio will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle. The
Barrier Trio will assume its alternate pose after changing its PSI
weakness.
On your way back to the beach, log the enemies you missed while on
shrooms:
* Monkalrus
* Ancient Dragonfly
* Titanian
++++++++++++++++++
2.7.7 Argilla Pass
++++++++++++++++++
Log the following enemies outside the cave:
* Blue Balding Eagle
* Tender Loving Tree
Log the following enemies inside the cave:
* Mystery Metal Monkey
* Mecha-Mole!
* Cuddle Bomb
* Negative Man
* Sticky Slug
* Heftyhead
The {Masked Man} will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle.
Notes:
* Negative Man is a unique enemy. You can find him by taking the first
left in the cave and following that path until it ends.
* The Mystery Metal Monkey is only found in one room in the cave. You'll
encounter him on your way to Negative Man. You can also find him
outside the cave; he's sometimes on the path to the Hot Springs.
* Although you encounter the Pigmask Colonel here, you won't be able to
fight him outside of an event battle until Chapter 8.
* WARNING: As you probably know, you're stuck in New Pork City for
Chapter 8 after you use the Waters of Time on the vines of the
Chupichublahblah Temple. If there's anything you missed, you have to
get it now. If you want to be sure you're ready for Chapter 8, you can
spend a couple minutes counting the entries in your Battle Memory; you
should have 150, and you should be missing poses for only the Pigmask
Major and Pigmask Colonel.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.8 Chapter 8
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
++++++++++++
2.8.1 Sewers
++++++++++++
Log the following enemies:
* Metal Attack Roach
* Putrid Moldyman
{Miracle Fassad} will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle.
After you leave the Sewers, log the {King Statue} in the northeast part of
the city. (Examine it three times to fight it.)
Notes:
* WARNING: You will be trapped in the Empire Porky Building after you
get in the elevator.
* You can also find the Metal Attack Roach in the Empire Porky Building.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.8.2 Empire Porky Building
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the Hippo Pool, log the Hippo Launcher.
Log the following enemies on the Restrooms Floor:
* Pigmask Major
* Men's Room Sign
Log the following enemies on the Construction Floor:
* Boa Transistor
* K9000
* Rhinocerocket Mark II
* Love Walker
Log the following enemies on the Laboratory Floor:
* Pigmask Colonel
* Mecha-Lion
* Return of Octobot
* Upgraded Robot
* Nuclear Reactor Robot
The N.K. Cyborg will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle. The
N.K. Cyborg will assume its alternate pose after its "End of the Century
Beam" attack.
{PORKY 01} will be logged automatically in a mandatory battle.
Notes:
* One of the PORKY bots will summon random enemies during the battle.
Since it's an event battle though, this probably won't do you any good
if you're missing an entry. (If you're missing an enemy that assumes
its alternate pose by itself, like the Mecha-Turtle, then you might
get lucky.)
++++++++++++++++++
2.8.3 Final Cavern
++++++++++++++++++
Log the following enemies in the Final Cavern:
* Minerali
* Fenomeno
Porky [1] and Porky [2] will be logged automatically in a mandatory
battle.
That's it! WOO HOO!
