The Elusive Special Action Figures

There has been many arguements and questions a lot about these 7 special action figure,especially the 2nd and the 7th figure.I'll start with the
easy one first.

Dlumina1:Although i'll not sure about the exact method,it seems that
completing the first time will enable you to buy the figure.If not,try the second time.

Dlumina2:It has been say that this figure has random availability like the
2nd and 7th figure but there's actually been a way to get it.Train all your stats(Mind,Body,Fusion,Lumina)to Lv 30,complete the game to earn the "HERO" rank.But it's strange.I get it the first time i complete the game and i think my Lv was also 30.

Credits:Thanks to [email protected] for telling me about completing the game
with Lv 30 to get Dlumina 2.

As for Fillet,Kojiro,MomMinku,i don't need to explain more.

Rumors

There have been many questions asked regarding Jon and Leno and Dlumina3.
There are many theories suggesting to unlock these figures but most has proven unsuccessful.It's has been said you need to play the game multiple times whereas some said you can't have continues during Chapter 6.Some even claim that it's got to do with how fast you complete the game.Another theory suggested that you cannot dying or restarting from memory box and saved data but proves unsuccessful.

Here are some of the ways to get these two figures,however,i'll not sure that it will work,however,i will write down all the method,including the chances rating in %,so that you can choose the right method yourself.The % chances were based on estimated no of people who got these figures using these methods and is in range.Look for the best way.

Note:All these chances are not accurate and is based on estimation.

Dlumina3

Info :Complete the game 3 to 5 times.Then reload from FIN save and it will appear randomly.
About :However,i find it very unreliable since i complete the game 7 times and yet unable to get Dlumina3 through this way.Besides,there have been many reports that some got Dlumina3 only complete the game at one to two times whereas some completed more than 5 times yet unable to get it.Another guy at PSM said that he got the figure during the third time.
Chances:20% to 55%

Credits:Thanks to John Huang([email protected])for telling me about this method above even though it doesn't work for me.

Info :Randomly selected.From a guy at PSM.He said that the figure will appear only perhaps on certain day,certain time or have other obscure factor that influence it.
About :It doesn't work for me either and basically no clue to it.
Chances:0.1% to 10%

Info :Depends on how fast you complete Chapter 6
About :What an unreasonable conclusion and an unreliable way!
Chances:2% to 4%

Jon and Leno

Info :Enter the toy store at the same time when Farmer Grange enter.
About :This method seems to prove unsuccessful but definitely possible.
As you know,Farmer Grange is an action figure collector and will visit the toy store everyday in the evening.Read the schedule in the advanced tactics for the actual time he visit the store.His wife hates doll and if you talk to her when she's at home by knocking on the door,she would say something like "i wonder which doll i should sell next," and she sold away her husband's collection behind his back.Remember during a period when Farmer Grange was so depressed?
However,i found something very strange.You know that the toy store is closed on Wednesday.There's actually a way to enter the store on Wednesday but you will have to wait for Farmer Grange to come and open the door.When the door is opened,immediately enter the store before the door is closed.You have to be fast.I wonder what Kurt and Farmer Grange is secretly talking about on every wednesday.However,
the sad thing is i entered the store on Wednesday but still doesn't work but that doesn't mean it is not possible.
Chances:25% to 65%

Info :Randomly selected.This could mean that they only appear at a certain time or on a certain day, or perhaps have some other obscure factor
governing their appearance. Or, they could just be random,which would be irritating.
About :Like the above,it doesn't work for me.
Chances:0.01% to 10%

Bad News

Most of the official guide,player guide,other guide books and other sources all claim that these two action figures were randomly selected,which seems as if they are not taking the responsible to solve the mystery for us.What a
shame and how can they call themselves professional strategy guide writer!
But still i don't believe in randomly selected.You will know why later on.

Good news

Everyone will be wondering how i got these two figures and before that i have to thanks <[email protected]>for sharing with me the info he got
from all the feedbacks in his site.However,he still hasn't got them.And his
Brave Fencer site too really rocks and his URL can be found at the
acknowledgement section.I managed to come out with a conclusion with the info i got from him and it works perfectly well.However,it sounds very complicated and you got to understand it.if you feel that you do not understand,feel free to mail me at [email protected]

Chest Theory

What is this chest theory?All right!You must have guessed it,it is somehow
related to the chests that you collected.Here's how to get them.

First,you must remember two conditions.I tried using this method over four times under the same conditions using the same data and work successfully,
however,all these conditions must be meet before it can work.

Make sure you picked out every chest, and including memory box at least once
in your game.

Note:For chest list,please refer to the advanced tactics section.

First condition:Before you go and collect sky scroll,make sure you leave ONE
empty chest,any one including old shirt,goggles etc but not memory box since it is always close.Not more than one chest
,if not it will work.Then complete the chapter 6 and opened
every single chest in Soda Fountain,which means you are only
short of one.

2nd condition:When you complete the game,reload it from FIN save and you will start at 1900 at SKYDAY once you complete the game,then go and collect the remaining ONE chest.After collecting the chest,go back to the toy store and wait until the next day,
which is Saturday since it's impossible to return to the toy store again on skyday before it closes at 2000.In fact,after collecting the last remaining chest,you can enter the store any time of the day.You will see Jon and leno action figure.
Buy the figure,exit and then enter and you will see Dlumina 3 figure appeared and now you have all the action figures and is ready to discover the third ending.In fact,i tried not to buy both Jon and Leno and Dlumina 3 figure and waited till the next day to see if these figures would disappear ,but thanks it didn't so i guessed there wasn't anymore randomly.You got to buy Jon and Leno figure first before Dlumina 3 would appear.

Very Important!!!

1.Make sure it's not more than one chest,not two,excluding memory box.If you
have got more than one chests,i suggests that you opened every chest and leave any one you like,complete the game again and get the remaining chest.Do not take more than one as it will not work.
2.Make sure you start at 1900 at skyday immediately you load after you complete the game.And you must remember that after you reload,you will start at 1900,right,but you cannot like wait until let say 2000 at skyday,
then save the game,switched off the Playstation and reload again,start at 2000 again,take the remaining one chest and it will not work.

Note:If these 2 conditions are meet,you will be able to buy Jon and Leno action figure,including Dlumina 3.If you can't meet any one of these conditions above,it will not work.This is very important.

Note:Any treasure chest will do but not memory box.Memory box must be opened
at least once.

Important notice!!!:Have you collected all the chests?Too bad for you.This
method won't work if all your treasure chests are
opened.For example,i am still short of two chests.When i
opened any one of the chests,complete the game and come
back to collect the last remaining chest,the method
works but if you opened all the two remaining chest,
complete the game,that means when you reload,all the
treasures are opened and goodbye to you because you will
have no more treasure chest to open and Jon and Leno
figure will not appear.These sounds a bit bad because i
once tried and collect all the chest without leaving one
and complete the game but didn't get it.You need to
leave only one chest before you complete the game and
then collect the only one remaining chest that you leave
after you complete and reload.I have not yet been able
to come out with another way for those who have
collected all the treasure chests.You will have to think
of other ways which i mentioned above.If you have any
enquires,feel free to mail me at [email protected]

Chances:99.9%

You may ask how do i come out with these conclusion?The reason is simple.I have multiple saves and i tried each and every save until i succeeded.I have four saves and only one fulfill the two conditions whereas the other three got only one of these conditions meet or none at all.It seems that the whole document took up over 280KB of space in your computer and i didn't want to waste up your space.

If you are interested in how i arrive with this conclusion,pls e-mail me at
[email protected] and i'll be gladly to answer your questions.
