-Organized by using lines ^_^
1. Legalities..
So I didn't have some L33T intro.. who cares?! Anyway I don't care what you do
with this FAQ, BUT leave it unchanged and/or unaltered, do not sell it (anyone
who would pay for a .txt file barely 10kb in size is very stupid), because I
put my work and time into it, not just so you L34M3R$ out there can rip it
off..
2. Introduction
This is best veiwed (in my opinion) in Arial Narrow.
Double Moon Densetsu is an old NES RPG which I am also in the process of
translating. I am doing this as I work thru it (well, the first few parts will
be from memory; the rest on is as I go), so you can be assured of 99% accuracy
(I will fill in the 1% when we finish the translation, and as I am beta
testing).
3. FAQ v1.1
Okay first things first. If you know japanese, skip this. if you don't, read
on!
The menus are as follows:
-----------------
Main Menu:
Talk Look
Magic Item
Equip Rank
Rank I was confused with because I was trying to use it when I only had 1 guy!
It's for changing around your party members outside of battle.
---------------------
Battle Menu:
Attack Aim (More on this below)
Magic Run
Item Defend
Here are the orders of the magics the allies you later get will begin with:
---
Ryeena:
Heal/ Harm Undead (Not sure, but that's what it does pretty well; works on
nothing else)
Protect
---
Ryona:
Heal Everyone
---
Ji-nasu:
MP-Sap(I think) Thunder Jolt
----
Also, if you hit Select, it will bring up a menu on which you can check the
status of everyone in the party. It also shows the current HP/MP/Lv stats like
in the battle menu.
----------------------------------
Okay as you can see I added the final peice to the menus. With Aim you can do
different things, 1 I've figured out and another I THINK I've figured out..
Anyway when you choose Aim from the battle menu you target the monster (group)
and then you are confronted with a new menu. Depending n the monster, this menu
differs. To sum it up, I know the order or two menus; one for humanoid
(Merman(Ma-Man), Pirate), and those Land Turtles..
Head
Hand (I think this will make them miss more)
Body (With Yuuku at a high Level, you can do instant death here)
------------------------------
Head
Body
Legs
----------------------------
Start does absolutley nothing as far as I can see ^_^
The Game:
You, defaulty named Yuuku, start out talking to a preist guy who tells you your
parents and sister have been kidnapped. Then go and buy some stuff from the
Equipment store, and head out. Stay RIGHT BY the town, or you will get your ass
kicked very badly. The monsters just around town aren't very tough. Work up
Exp. and Gold until you get around 300G or Lv3-4 (whichever comes first, but
you should get the 300G anyway). Then go buy the 300G item (a good weapon) and
equip it.
After all that, head out to the next town. You will notice a change in this
town, as it is gray all over. Nothing significant here except for the fact you
can buy Herbs and Antidotes (Item shop, in that order Top-Bottom), and the Inn.
Go out and get a few levels, and some more moolah. Then head out into the
desert-like area and enter the castle. Go all the way down to the bottom and
talk to the person you find at the end. He [Guessing] tells you his comrades
have been kidnapped.[End Guessing} They are in the north cave. Before you head
up there, make sure your Equipment is opt. and your level is around 6-7. Then
go back to the 2nd town and buy some Herbs, then head for the cave.
Right when you walk in, a girl named Ryeena runs up to you. She is being
attacked by two Wizards. They aren't tough HP wise, but that Fire spell hurts,
so take them out fast. She then joins you, and you quest thru the cave. At the
end, you see the comrades and a guy. Talk to the guy, and you will fight.
Boss:
Knight (true name unknown for all bosses)
HP:100-200
He isn't too tough, you should have about Lv 8-10 for Yuuku and 4-5 for Ryeena.
Just pummel away and he will fall. After he does, the comrades run back to the
castle. Walk back out, then back to the castle (or the town if you need a
rest).
When you get back to the castle, talk to the guy again in front of the
stairway. After a short conversation, he will move.
Inside the cave, the enimies are the same as the old ones. There are a few
treasures you can get, but ultamitley you will run up against another boss.
Hint: You will be in a 2 block passage that makes a right turn, just before
that turn is the boss. You cannot see him, so he can surprise you.
Boss:
Ice Demon
HP:150-250
This is a tough little cookie. He sometimes uses this attack that does an
incredible amount of damage to both members of your party. Have Yuuku pummel
him to death while Ryeena uses Heal and Protect to back you up. You should use
savestates (unles you actually own the game.. heh!) each round you survive.
Once you win, nab the chest, which is a nice sword, and equip it on Yuuku, then
head out.
Go back to the first town and get Ryeena a new weapon. It's called the
Traveler's Cane for those who know some jap, and those who don't, the first one
is Cane, look for an item with letters like it, and buy that for Ryeena.
Now, you should have noticed on your way back to town, the mountains around it
are gone! Yes, now you may pass thru them.
Head north, and come to the next town. I don't know what you can really do
here, except upgrade your stuff, so just leave and move on.
Now you will see a castle, go there and head north, straight for the Inn. You
will see a girl there, her name is Ryona. Talk to her and she will join you. I
beleive she is the King's Daughter, for she calls him Papa. Anyway, rest if
needed and head for the castle inside the town. Head north until you see the
Inn, then go in, take the stairs up in there, and go talk to the King. He give
you permission to have a ship, so then after that conversation, go back out of
the castle, and down to the shipyard (where the guard was standing). Talk to
him and he will move. Take you ship and sail around. Notice, if you will, the
music is a slower version of the land music. Something to ponder. Now, get some
money for new weapons.
I can tell you the weaponlist here.Tthe first (I think) is a Rapier, next is
Shiita, I have no clue what that is tho ^_^*. Then a leather helmet, a small
sheild, and finally some nice Ring, er, Chain Mail ^_^.
After you have bought all that nice and expensive stuff, head for the island
with the cave on it. Head inside the cave, and explore! It's a pretty big cave,
and the monsters can prove to be nasty. If you see a monster that looks like a
mix between and turtle and a tree, RUN. Those guys have VERY high defense and
offense to kill for.. anyway explore explore explore, and then you come up on a
guy looking over a treasure box. Walk up near him and Yuuku will can for his
attention. Then a battle will ensue!
Boss:
Dark Knight, Tree Turtle
HPs: 300, 100
This is a very tough fight, mainly beacuse he has a Tree Turtle for an ally.
Have Yuuku pummel the Dark Knight, have Ryeena back-up with Heal/Protect
spells, and have Ryona attack. Note: Ryona has a special attack. If her HP
drops to 50 or below, have her defend (bottom right choice). She will use a
healing ability that mega heals everyone for up to 100 HP! Very handy. After
that, get the item. I think it's the Earring, I'm not sure (I know I found one
somewhere..) anyway head out, and go back to the castle.
A Bard-like man will come up to you. His name is Ji-Nasu, and while I haven't a
clue what he says, I do know he joins your party.
Go and talk with the King, and he will give you a mountain map.
Leave and go down to the mountains. Enter the area where you can stand on one.
Stand there and use the Mountain Map (it should be the last item in Yuuku's
inverntory.) A path withh appear. Enter the town. It's a barren waste, with
three chests. Open the last one one the left (after the other two), and you get
a surprise! Two bandits will come and attack. A supposed boss battle, but not
tough enough to list here.
END FAQ.
For now I have yet to figure out what to do next. If anyone would like to
contribute, please do at
[email protected]
Right now, these things I've done and where I'm stuck:
If you sail left of the cave where you fought Dark Knight, you'll come across a
gravesite (a guard at the castle talk about this I think) , and if you search
it, Yuuku and Ji-Nasu say something. I've gone abck to the King after checking
it, and he didn't say anything different. Anyway, down that mountain path there
are two towns, and a cave. The cave I couldn't find anything in, nor could I
find anything of significance in the towns. I haven't tried backtracking, so
maybe I should do that? If anyone who's playing this game knows Japanese
fluently or just happens to stumble on what to do next, please let me know!
