2.3 Move Tips
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Projectiles
-----------
All 10 main characters now have fireball attacks. These are done by
pressing back, sqr, back(hold). The longer you hold back, the more
powerful the projectile becomes, but it will drain your life as it is
charging.

To perform a projectile using the analog controller, push down on the
left analog stick as if it were a button (this is referred to as L3,
pushing the right analog stick is R3), then hold middle attack to
charge. Release the middle attack button to launch the projectile.

Close Range Unblockables
------------------------
For these attacks, the button combinations should be performed as fast as
possible (and usually hold the last button for a little longer). For
example, with Chuji press back+guard+sqr and try to slip you're thumb to
triangle immediately. If done correctly, you will see an aura around
your fist/foot similar to launching a projectile.

Counters
--------
You can hold back and guard and wait for an attack. The other button
should be pushed just after your opponent starts his attack but before
anything connects.

Monsters
--------
Many of the monsters are derivatives of other monsters, for example
Tri Horn is based on Dog. Usually there are a few slight differences
between similar monsters.

Some of the monsters (especially those that normally can't grab) have
special throws. These throws are done by pressing f,f+G+M. A few
examples of this are Dog, any zombies, any jellies, Mohican Penguin
(what the hell?!?), and Silver Wizard (there are probably more).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2.4 Character Backgrounds
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Chuji
-----
Recently, Kuts Foundation has been bought up all of Tobal's mines and
started selfishly mining them. To this end, Kuts Foundation has been
working the miners very hard and frequently taking over it's smaller
rivals. As one of the miners who has been bought up, Chuji is now
infuriated by the practices of the company. Chuji enters the 99th
Tournament in order to strike down the head of the company, Gren Kuts.

Epon
----
Previously, Epon's father injured numerous opponents in the Tobal
tournament using a brutal style as he became the Super Tobal Man.
Having said that, the true reason he fought so hard for the prize money
was because he needed it to help Epon who suffered from a terrible
illness when she was a child. But the public bathed him with blame for
the rough fight, so he was banished by the Emperor of Martial Arts and
disappeared. Epon was told this story by her mother when she had grown,
in order to clear her father's name, she has once again entered the
Tournament.

Oliems
------
Oliems' master entered the Tobal No. 1 Tournament. However, his opponent
was a Kittaiku-seijin (Epon's father) who beat him, showering him insults
like "Chicken Bastard". Not only was the name of the famous military
champion humiliated, but rumors of the Kientakku-seijin's weakness began
to spread. In order to restore Kientakku-seijin pride and honor, Oliems
joins the Tournament aiming for the championship. [Note: Kientakku-seijin
approximates to Kentuckian in English, a little bit of Toriyama humor]

Hom
---
Recently Hom's body had become weak. He was worried that his master,
Fei, had done this to him on purpose. As long as he suffered from this
condition and did not have [?some kind of permit?], he could never be
independent. Thinking this, Hom saw Fei as an incentive to enter the
99th Tournament. Fei opposed Hom's entry saying "You will stop on your
way to your goal", but Hom didn't understand his meaning. Ignoring Fei,
Hom proceeded to enter the contest.

Fei
---
Recently, Hom's condition has worsened. In the middle of training, Hom
would stop moving and he had to be fixed. Suddenly Fei remembered that
the special Molmoran Stone was actually the Royal Stone. The point is,
Hom is a robot powered by the Royal Stone that Fei obtained after he won
the 66th Tournament. Perhaps the stone's power has become weak. The
only way to get another Royal Stone is by winning the Tobal No. 1
Tournament...

Ill
---
Ill thought that if he won the 98th Tournament, he could present his</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
girlfriend with a nose ring [wedding ring?]. He thought it would be
good for her to see his gallantry at the Tournament, but Ill was horribly
defeated. Moreover, his girlfriend fell in love with the champion, Gren,
and couldn't stand to look at Ill. In order to win back his girlfriend's
love by defeating Gren, Ill has entered the Tournament.

Mary
----
One day a letter was delivered to Mary by Gren Kuts' butler. The letter
said that because Gren wanted to continue his study of martial arts, he
wished to block Mary from entering his Tournament. Enclosed in the
envelope was a blank check. Mary was in financial trouble because of her
family situation and because of the state of Professional Wrestling which
offered her no opponents. The lure of the prize money was too much and
Mary ignored Gren and entered the contest.

Gren
----
Gren became the Super Tobal Man by defeating Emperor Udan in the 98th
Tobal Tournament. But lately, Gren has heard terrible rumors about the
Kuts Foundation. Somehow the Foundation has been buying up land on Tobal
and committing various crimes. Thinking that this situation will injure
the honor of the Kuts' House, Gren left for Tobal in order to investigate
the Foundation. And as long as he's on Tobal, Gren has decided to join
the 99th Tournament...

Chaco
-----
In order to investigate an evil "ki" that has begun emanating from planet
Tobal, a woman, Chaco, has been dispatched from the ranks of the Galaxy
Patrol. She found the Kuts Foundation to be very suspicious and is
determined to find proof of it's wrongdoings. At the same time, the 99th
Tobal No. 1 Tournament is being held. Chaco really has three reasons for
entering the Tournament. To find new evidence, to test her martial arts
skills, and also she would like to meet once more a man she has only
glimpsed before, Gren...

Doctor V
--------
As well as being a famous surgeon, Doctor V also comes from a family of
military fighters. He believes he has taken the road of medical science
to the extreme and he can feel the limit of the latest technology. In
order to study ancient medical techniques, Doctor V has taken a trip to
the center of the Universe. The ancient medical texts mentioned a
certain stone without necessarily confirming it's existence. He also
heard that the winner of the Tobal No. 1 Tournament will be given the
Royal Stone by Emperor Udan. Thinking that this stone would be useful
in his research, Doctor V enters the competition.

Mufu
----
A native from the planet Jarungu. Since no one else understands his
language, Mufu is a very puzzling character. [Note: Jarungu approximates
to Jungle in English]

Nork
----
Like most of his race, Nork has a weak mind, but Emperor Udan has
increased his strength and size...

Udan
----
At the last tournament, the final opponent to stand against Gren was of
course Emperor Udan. However, at this tournament it seems that there
exists a competitor who is even stronger than Udan.

Mark
----
Greed has blinded the director of the Kuts Foundation, the digging in
the mountains has resulted in chaos, and after a seal in the ground was
broken, a legendary warrior has reappeared. This warrior possesses the
kind of power only spoken of in Tobal's ancient legends, and yet no one
knows where he came from. The reason for the seal inside the mountain
is unknown. Where will he go? What will he do? Everyone is getting
wrapped up in the mystery.

Next is your money (in units of Mols).
Finally, your total time is displayed.

3.3 Potions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Those of you familiar with Tobal No. 1 will remember those pesky potions.
Potions can be bought in town or picked up from defeated monsters in the
dungeon. A potions effect is indicated by it's color, unfortunately each
time you start (or return to) a quest, all the potion colors will be
different. So in one quest a potion may increase your hit points while in
another it will poison you. Once you drink a potion, you will remember
it's effect for the rest of that dungeon (but not after saving and
returning to a game) and the effects will be listed (in Japanese).

A new feature in Tobal 2 is the ability to mix potions. To mix two
potions together, try to throw one potion into another (works well in
corners). The resulting color is determined by somehow adding the other
two colors together. Here's a list of possible RGB values, of course
the effects will change each time you play, but this may give you
something to work with.

Color R G B

Red 191 25 26

If you continue to combine light-colored potions, you will eventually
reach the White Potion. When the White Potion is used in a combination,
the result will be the White Potion so it is useless to try to combine
it. The White potion has two effects, first it uncurses your stones,
second it has a random effect.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.4 Stones
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Also new to Tobal 2 is the ability to equip Stones. These Stones affect
different attributes depending on their colors. The colors always affect
the same attribute, but you won't know whether it will raise or lower
your stats until you use it. Once a Cursed Stone (lowers stats) is
equipped, you'll have to find a potion to remove the curse (after which
the gem can be removed).

Like the potions, these Stones can be combined (using the same method).
The resulting color of the Stones will be the color of the stationary
Stone (not the one thrown). The effects of the two stones will be
combined to form a new number.

Stones without a + or - next to the name will have an effect of +1 when
equipped, but +0 when combined. Stones with a +0 value cannot be thrown
to combine (as it would have no effect), but they can be used as the
base Stone in a combination.

Color Effects:
-Green Stone: Life Bar
-Yellow Stone: Stamina Bar
-Red Stone: Arms, Legs, or Throw
-Blue Stone: Guard
-Transparent Green Stone: Revive, equip at maximum health
-Purple Stone: Used to capture enemies

Remember, some Stones will increase an attribute and some will decrease it.
To see the effects of your equipped stones, press Select, then Start.
Numbers will appear next to the body parts affected.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.5 Food
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Most of the animal enemies you find will drop food when defeated. Before
you chow down, be sure to check the color of the food. Make sure that
the food isn't greenish gray (this food is rotten and will poison you).
Early on, most good food will be brown, but later it will be the color of
the animal defeated. For example defeating the Red Crest will give you a
red Dragon Steak, or beating a Green Lizard will get you a green Lizard
Tail. Basically, if the food isn't the color of the animal you just
defeated, don't eat it. [Note: Cheese, jellies, and bread will never be
poisoned.]

Poison food can still be useful though. Throw a piece of rotten meat near
a monster flame. After the monster becomes active, if it walks on the
food, it will eat it and become poisoned. But be careful, if you use a
piece of meat with a bone, the monster will be able to throw the bone
back at you!

Eating food while your stamina bar is at full will increase your guard
level.

Eating jellies left by certain enemies will add ten food points and also
have different effects depending on the color.
-Blue Jelly: Guard x2
-Yellow Jelly: Freezes Stamina Bar for short period (eat before a long nap)
-Red Jelly: Tetsujin (all attacks become unblockable)
-Black Jelly: Muteki (can't be touched)
-Green Jelly: plus 50 to health

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.6 Quest Tips
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Dungeon Locations
-----------------
I will give the dungeon locations in relation to the Church (save point).
To get to the Church from the starting point, exit the house, turn right,
walk forward past the crossroad, and the Church will be the first (and
only) building on the right.

Practice Dungeon: Exit the Church, turn right and enter the door in the
side of the wall.

Egyptian Ruins: Exit the Church, turn left and walk to the crossroad,
turn left again and go into the door in the side of the wall (a small
patch of dark green grass forms a triangle just above the door). In the
middle of the next area, there is a house next to a hill. Enter the
house and talk to the Archaeologist. Now climb the hill next to the
house and cross the bridge to get to the Ruins. After completing the
Ruins, go back to the Archaeologist's house and talk to him again. He
will give you the key for the next level.

Desert Spaceship: Exit the Church, turn left and walk to the crossroad,
turn right and go to the arch in the side of the wall (you will be able
to see the dock and water on the other side of the arch). Go into the
small house on the dock and talk to the Gate Keeper. If you have the
Archaeologist's key, the Gate Keeper will lower the drawbridge for you.
Go across the drawbridge and through the courtyard (there is a small
fountain in the courtyard). Now you should be in a room with two doors,
an upper door and a lower door, take the lower door. Next is a room with
three doors, the door on the right takes you to a small village, there is
a shop there if you need to replenish supplies. Take the door in the
middle (straight ahead), you will come out of an igloo in the desert.
Turn right and walk to the stone path, turn left on the path and walk
straight ahead to the spaceship. The entrance to the Desert Spaceship is
the hole on the top. After beating this level, head back towards the
igloo that you came out of, but instead of turning right off of the stone
path, turn left and go to the second igloo. Inside this igloo, Priest is
waiting to give you the key to the Mine levels.

Mine Levels: Take the same path as if you were going to the Desert
Spaceship, but when you get to the room with three doors, take the door to
the left. Go to the bottom of the pit to find the entrance to the first
Mine Level. After beating Mine Level 1, you will enter into the heart of
the Mine. The door immediately to your right is the entrance to Mine Level
2, but it's locked. On the other side of the bridge there is a save point
and a shop (I reccomend you use both). Now take the staircase down to find
one of the entrances to the Mini Mine (it's better to use the lower entrance
because the key is always in the same place). Get the key from the Mini
Mine and head back to the locked door to enter Mine Level 2.

Castle: Take the same path as if you were going to the Desert Spaceship,
but when you reach the room with the upper and lower doors, take the upper
door.

Cave: Exit the Church, turn left, walk straight ahead and enter the door
in the side of the wall.

Using the Shop
--------------
To buy items, just pick up whatever you want, the cost of the items you
have picked up will be displayed in the lower right hand corner. When
you talk to the Shopkeeper, he will ask if you want to buy the items you
are holding, the top (default) response is yes, the lower response is no.
You have to either buy or drop any items you pick up, otherwise you won't
be able to leave the shop.

To sell items, drop any items you want to sell and talk to the Shopkeeper.
Again the top response is yes (sell), and the lower response is no (don't
sell).

If you don't like the selection in the shop on a particular visit, go to
the church, save your game, and reset (press L1,L2,R1,R2,Select,Start at
the same time). Now go back to your game and the items in the shop will
be different. However, if you buy an item, then the rest of the items in
the shop will only change after you go into the next dungeon.

General
-------
Probably the most important attribute to keep at a high level is Guard.
If you don't continually increase your Guard level, enemies on the lower
floors will be able to kill you in one hit. Be sure to eat a lot of food
while your Stamina is full to increase Guard.

Negative Stones can be very useful when combined. Try combining all the
negative Stones you find into a blue or green Stone. Once you get a lot
of these Stones combined, throw them at an enemy. The effect is that the
monster's guard (blue) or health (green) will be greatly reduced. After
defeating the monster, you can recover the Stone with it's power slightly
reduced. Be careful though, if you throw a Stone and miss, your enemy can
pick it up and throw it back at you.

Just as negative stones can be useful, poison food can also work to your
advantage. When you have some poison food, leave it on the ground near
a monster flame. If the monster encounters the food while moving towards
you, it will pick up the food and eat it, thus becoming poisoned.

Always try to kill all the monsters on a level, if you try to skip ahead
to the Boss, you will quickly discover that your arms and legs aren't
powerful enough to defeat the enemies.

Try not to rely too much on one single attack or combo. If you're a
puncher, make sure to keep your leg levels up because later on you will
face enemies that are too low to punch (i.e. the lizards and worms).

Except for the Practice dungeon, defeating all (or most) of the monsters
on a floor, will cause roaming monsters to appear. These monsters will
be blue flames bouncing around the halls which become monsters just like
the stationary red flames. Don't get surprised by these monsters while
taking a nap.

Desert Spaceship
----------------
There are no animals in the Desert Spaceship dungeon, so be sure to stock
up on food in town before going in.

The exit for each level of the Desert Spaceship will not appear until all
the monsters on that floor have been defeated. [Note: The exit of each
level may be linked to one certain enemy on each floor, but I haven't
verified this yet.]

Mines
-----
After passing through Mine Level 1, you will enter the heart of the Mine.
There is a Priest here to save your game and also a Shopkeeper. In order
to go on to Mine Level 2, you have to enter the Mini Mine to find the key.
In the Mini Mine, your stats will not increase and you won't receive any
items either, so get the key and get out as soon as possible. The key is
located on the lower floor.

In Mine Level 2, you will encounter Green Man. Green Man is equipped with
a Revive Stone (Transparent Green Stone), so if you beat him, he will
instantly revive and keep on fighting. But you can use this to your
advantage. When he gets low on health (his first bar of health), capture
him with a Purple Stone. After being captured, he will leave his Revive
Stone FULLY CHARGED! Pick it up and equip it for an extra life.

=======================================================================
4.0 Monsters
=======================================================================
This is a nearly complete list of all the monsters found in Tobal 2. It
also contains information on where to locate and capture monsters to use
as playable characters. There are spoilers here, so only read on if you
don't want to try to figure this out for yourself.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1 Methods to Unlock Monsters
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Capture
-------
Any monsters located in the dungeons can be captured. First you must
have a Purple Stone, beat any monster down to about 10% health and throw
the Stone at it. The monster will die and the next monster of that type
will have a C next to its name.

Load
----
Monsters that must be loaded are not found in any dungeon (some of them
are in the overworld though). These monsters are found using the Green
Monster option in VS Mode.

The best (fastest) way to get these monsters is to set the number of
rounds to 5 and each fighters health to 16 (minimum). Also be sure to
have enough room on your memory card to save replays. Using this method
to keep fights short will allow you to save around 60 replays per slot
on your card.

Once you find a new monster, choose it for at least one fight, this will
put it on your list of monsters (however it will have F status). Now
use the Gray Monster option, it will ask for another memory card.
Remove and then re-insert your memory card and press circle.

This method may also allow you to use monsters from the dungeons.

Other
-----
Some monsters become accessible only when certain conditions are met
(such as the Totems). These methods are listed for each individual case.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.2 Using the Monsters
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
These descriptions refer to the four different colored monsters available
on the character select list. They can be used in Tournament Mode, VS
Mode, and Training (only the Red and Blue are available in Training).

-Red Monster: A list of all monsters you have come in contact with
either in the quest mode or through the Green Monster option.
Controllable monsters are highlighted and marked with a C,
uncontrollable monsters are marked with an F. This option becomes
available after you encounter a monster in quest mode.

-Blue Monster: Allows you to load a saved character from the Quest Mode.
This option is available from the start of the game.

-Green Monster: Uses a saved replay to access a monster. This monster
will be unplayable and will have stats (presumably) generated by
information from the saved fight. This option becomes available after
using a monster in VS Mode.

-Gray Monster: Load monster data from another memory card. The first
time you use this, Super Trix will become a playable character. This
option becomes available after using a monster in VS Mode.

5.0 EXTRAS
=======================================================================
This section contains information about hidden characters, how to access
them and codes for the game. Those of you who want to find this stuff
out for yourself should stop reading now.

Most of the Load monsters appear from replays randomly (or through some
formula which I don't understand). There are a few monsters, though,
that only appear from replays of specific monsters. Use Character 1
versus Character 2 in VS Mode and save the replay. Then use the Green
Monster option to get the resulting monster.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
5.2 Codes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Adjust Size:
When selecting your character, hold down L2 and R2 and push triangle.
Now you can adjust the size of your character by pushing L2 (shrink) or
R2 (grow). This won't work on quest mode though.

Character Dance:
To make your character dance after a match (instead of playing through
Hard mode), press up+right+L2 during the replay.

Repeat Winning Speech:
As soon as your character finishes his/her victory speech, press L2+Left
to make them repeat it.

Practice With "F" Monsters:
To use a monster that has not yet been captured, select the monster right
above it on the monster list (this monster may have to be "C"), now push
O then down very quickly (almost at the same time). Unfortunately, this
will only work in Practice mode.

Eye Roll:
Move the directional pad around to move your character's eyes in their
victory pose (not really a code, but pretty neat anyway).

Repeat CG Movie:
Press select while a movie is playing to restart it from the beginning.

Choose Winning Pose:
Press up, down, left, or right to choose your winning pose and speech.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
5.3 Rumors
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the latest rumors circulating around the Internet. Of course,
I can't confirm or deny any of these, but I will try to rate them
according to how reliable I think the sources are. One star(*) means
it's probably not true, five stars(*****) means you can safely put
some money down with your friends.

Rare Loadable Characters:
Loader and Archaeologist may be found using the Replay Method (or
Green/Gray or Load, whichever you prefer to call it), but they are
very rare. (*****)

Formula for Replay Method:
Part of the formula for generating the monsters via the Replay Method
may be the complexity of the moves used. Jeff Coleburn ([email protected])
generated Archaeologist three times by setting up matches between the
Psycho characters and letting them fight each other. (****)
[Note: After talking to Jeff, I started doing a lot of replays with
computer controlled Psycho characters. It only took about thirty
replays to come across Archaeologist.]

Cook Food/Boil Potions:
Use an Invisibility Potion to become invisible. Now hold a piece of
rotten meat or a potion in your hand (it will be visible) and run
through a monster flame. The rotten meat should become good and the
potion should become lighter. Don't stay in the flame too long or else
your item will vanish (used or stolen by the monster). (***)

Method for obtaining Black Chocobo:
The method for obtaining Black Chocobo may have something to do with
watching the demonstration replays already stored on the disc. (**)
