Introduction [xintx]
========================
Hi, everyone!
Wow, it's 2012 and I've decided to write a guide to a game released in 2002!
That's 10 years! Well, even though it's an old game, it IS an underrated pearl
and I still had lots of fun playing it. Seriously, this game is totally worth
buying, even today.
As for me, I only found out about this game a couple of months ago. I thought
I'd probably get tired of playing it after 2 or 3 islands when I watched some
gameplay videos, but I decided to buy it anyway. Since there were 3 people "now
playing" this game at GameFAQs and 7 people with it on their wishlists, I
thought "why not?" and decided to write this FAQ.
So, this guide will help you collect all scrapbook shells. When I was playing,
some shells were really hard to find, so I went looking for a guide. Thing is,
there's absolutely NO info on getting the shells on the internet. Seriously.
You can find a few really old forum threads asking about locations of a
specific shell. Some were answered, some not. While most of them are easy to
find, some where really annoying and I must confess I used the invincibility
cheat to look for them (probably less than 5 of them), then I'd load back my
game (with no cheats) and went straight to where they were.
"And what do I get after I collect the scrapbook shells?" Well, the ONLY thing
you get is scrapbook pages with beautiful images that you view from the main
menu. That's it. Totally not worth the trouble. So why did I do it? I did it
for the completion sake. For the fun of looking for them and seeing those maps
with everything completed. Awesome! When I beat the game, honestly, I tried
viewing the images I worked so hard to collect, but I could only see 30 before
I got bored and I gave up.
So let's get straight to the shell. Oh, wait! Before that, I have two tips I'd
like to say:
TIP #1 - Before landing on an island when visiting a new archipelago, make sure
you destroy all forts, because there may be treasures chests or shells
under them. I'm pretty sure about the one in Buccaneer's Haunt, but
I can't think of any other. Anyway, it'll only do you good to destroy
them as soon as you can.
TIP #2 - At least 3 shells in this game are MISSABLE! I said "MISSABLE"!!! God,
I hate missables soooo much. I lost one of those myself. Meh. Well,
all these three are in boss areas you can't go back to. I'm sure about
the giant crab and the lava bosses, but maybe this happens with other
bosses, too. I think those two areas become inaccessible because they
have respawning items that the player could take advantage of. Next
time, they could've worked harder on programming instead of just
locking a door. Hmph!
===================
Islands [xislx]
===================
The islands are listed in the same sequence you scroll their maps, starting
with Buccaneer Bay.
There will be some times, thought, when you're teleported to another location.
When this happens, you'll face a loading screen. Make sure you check the name
of the new location. Their maps are NOT always right after the map of the stage
from where you teleported to it.
-------------------------
Buccaneer Bay [xi01x]
-------------------------
Scrapbook shells: 10
Starting Section (2 shells):
01 - In the chest before the gate just before your ship.
02 - Southeast from the pier, up on the hill with the chest on it.
Western Island (2 shells):
03 - In the iron chest where the fort was.
04 - In the buried chest just north from the pier.
Southeastern Shores (3 shells):
05 - Head east right after you disermbark to the end of the shore.
06 - Go right after you go up the steep hill.
07 - In the chest at the end, past the pirates.
Smuggler's Shores (3 shells):
08 - In the buried chest past the crystal chest.
09 - Go up the hill between the smuggler's hut and the pier. It's past the
chest.
10 - Behind the smuggler's hut.
---------------------------
Scoundrel's Pit [xi02x]
---------------------------
Scrapbook shells: 3
01 - Circle the island close to the sea counter-clockwise. After you've seen a
couple of gorillas, you'll see the shell to your left, behind two palm
trees. It's somewhat not very easy to see.
02 - On the same path, in the chest under the cannon.
03 - Not much further from the last one, in the very obvious chest on your
path.
----------------------
Ape Island [xi03x]
----------------------
Scrapbook shells: 5
Mermaid's Island (1 shell):
01 - Behind the mermaid's shell.

of the path.
03 - In the buried chest roughly north from the first cannon.
04 - Behind the ape idol (yes, up that annoying hill).
05 - At the end of the elevated path with shooters and bombers, past the chest.

05 - After the save parrot, on the left side of the path.
06 - In the chest at the southernmost tip of the island.
07 - Go all the way east, then all the way north. It's at the end of the path,
close to where #04 was, but there's no straight path between them.
08 - Next to a totem, just east of the entrance to the ... well, east of that
entrance.
09 - In the chest close to the chest with the mask.
10 - After you use the teleport close to the mask, instead of going up for the
chest, go around through the high path until you get to a small garden.
11 - In a buried chest in the same garden.
12 - After you teleport up, look south to the hill. Instead of going up, turn a
bit to the right and slide down to a sand platform with a bush on it. If
you check the map, it's like a small bay of sand on the western part of
the largest green portion.

Scrapbook shells: 7

top of a small steep hill (you don't need to jump, but it's not obvious,
either).
02 - Next to the Crystal Heart, to the right.
Southeastern Island (1 shell):
03 - One of the toughest to find in the whole game. It's INSIDE a root of one
of the trees, between the crystal and the stone chests. You can tilt the

most in this game. Once you use this teleporter, you can't return to the

FAQs [xfaqx]
================
Q01: Why didn't you / can you make a similar guide for the chests?
A01: No, sorry. There's no point, since you can you use the cheat to see their
locations.
-------------------------
Q02: I can't find the chest you mentioned! Help!
A02: Save your game, use the cheat to find the chests, locate it and then load,
if you don't want your game to have the cheat activated. If you already
opened the chest, I'm sorry, but it will be harder for you. At least you
can have a slight idea of where to look.
