5: How to Capture a Monster
You'll need to complete the first action stage, then go back to OEDO TOWN, and
head to the
temple in the north of the town. Go up into the grounds, and if there is an old
man blocking
the door, go to OEDO castle, then come back here. Now go inside the building an
speak to the
old man (The Monster Guardian).
Now you can catch monsters. To do this, you need to wear down the beast's
health. Once it's
low enough, put you cursor over attack, then press Right on the D-pad for the
capture option.
Your character should then "Suck" them in and capture them. Return to the
Guardian to attach
the monster to a character and other stuff (he won't let you attach monsters
until you've
caught at least 3 monsters!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------
6: Walkthrough
1.1: OEDO TOWN (Town)
You begin just outside of Omitsu's coffee shop, so go up over the bridge and
then head left
over the next bridge and onto the next area (OEDO castle). Make you way up the
steps and talk
to the King, then talk to Wiseman. It seems that Edo Castle has vanished into
thin air! Well,
Wiseman will give you 200 coins, then leave OEDO castle back to just outside,
talk to
the man on the left and he will let you out of town. As you leave, then you will
see that 3
strange people are spying on Wiseman. (Before you leave town I suggest that you
visit the shop;
the owner will offer you a handy starting kit wih healing armor and some
weaponry, but it costs
195 coins. Equip the stuff and leave town.)
1.2: KAI HIGHWAY (Action)
You can't catch any monsters yet I'm afraid, so just fight baddies for
experience and make you
way through the level. Return here when you have the capture ability and catch
some monsters
(The Bunny-robot thing is a good choice!)
1.3: MT FUJI (Action)
Go up to the big stone head. You will be joined by a strange little devil-
monster, Sigura.
He will fill you in on some info, thrn you should go back to OEDO town.
1.4: OEDO TOWN AGAIN! (Town)
Quickly go back to OEDO castle, AND Wiseman will then tell you that he was
approached by a
strange elf-woman. Then the elf-woman and other two villians will appear, and
they will do
their Team-rocket wannabe pose. Then the large burly member of the trio (BOSS 1)
Imari will
take on Goemon in a one on one battle!
Once the fight is over, go back to the top of town and find the Monster guardian
in the temple,
and he will give you the ability to capture monsters.
BOSS 1: IMARI
You can't beat this steroid enhanced freak I'm afraid, so just use up your flame
whip and
wait for him to knock you out. Go southeast of Oedo to...
1.5: KEGON (Action)
This is Tricky but catch as many monsters as possible here, this is the first
level you
encounter Plant-type enemies! Explore the level for chests and basically raid
everything.
DUNGEON 1: WIND TOWER (Boss Level)
BIG TIP: When you are outdoors in this level, immediatly change to Ebisumaru.
Since he's so
horizontally challenged he'll keep you on the castle wall. Goemon and Sasuke are
too light
and they get blown off as soon as they take 2 steps forward!
Follow the paths around, and soon you'll have to fight Miroku and Takeru as a
mid-boss as soon
as you let Sasuke and Goemon into the tower by pushing the blue button. Just
keep heading
up after the fight and you'll eventually get to a yellow crystal, then you'll
have to
fight the boss!
MID-BOSS: MIROKU and TAKERU (Minor Bosses)
BOSS2: PLASMA MAN (Main Boss)
2.1: NORTHERN TOWN (Town)
Yae joins your party as you walk into town. SAVE AS SOON AS YOU GET IN FOR THERE
IS A
DIFFICULT BOSS IN THIS TOWN.
BOSS 3: WEREWOLF (Major enemy; appears later as a standard enemy!)
Ok this guys kinda tricky, so you must first just survive as Goemon in the first
part, then
when the other team members join in, switch to Sasuke and keep slashing him with
your Kunais.
Heal when needed, then once you've defeated the beast, he'll get upset and run
away. You get
a pass when you talk to the guy blocking your way. Exit to the west of town.
2.2: GALLEON STAGE (Challenge : Complete level in 15 minutes or die!)
I suggest you be around level 15 to 20 for this level. You have about 15 minutes
to complete
it, and every five minutes you will hear a strange noise (a warning noise)!
There are three
warning noises, after the third, the boat sinks and you are food for the fish!
(in other words,
YOU DIE)! You may need to come back to this stage, because there are some
monsters that can
only be caught from this stage! Here's how to get through it:
Go straight down (go down stairs); go out to corridor and make a left; continue
around the
deck until you reach a stairway going down to 1F; go down and take stairs down
to B1;
go straight up and go down stairs to B2; go straight up and go up stairs to B1;
go left and go down stairs to B2; go up, then make a right at the intersection
and go up the stairs to B1;
go straight up and go up stairs to 1F. Time to fight the boss!
You must beat him within the time that you have left, so quickly defeat the boss
and
you're out of the level!
MID-BOSS: BLOB and WINGED MONSTER
The Blob will turn up in the water shrine as an opponent, so just keep blasting
away with
Goemon and Sasuke's magic powers, and if you run out, just resort to normal
attacks.
3.1: SNOW VILLAGE (Town)
3.2: MT.FEAR (Action)
I suggest you try to catch the cat fire thing here.
DUNGEON 2: ICE CASTLE (Boss Level)
This castle is just a big maze, but here's a tip:
When you get to a room that goes left, up or right you should go up;
the right way is just a bunch of monsters with a treasure box.
BOSS 4: DRILL (Main Boss)
You should definitely save here and heal yourself at the statue before you fight
this guy.
3.3: SNOW VILLAGE (Town)
Go to the Ice Carnival up north, then go back to town. Get an item from a man in
the house
west of the ladder that leads to the carnival. Take the pass to the guy in the
northern
section of the ice carnival to enter in the husky race!
3.4: HUSKY RACE (Bonus Mission)
Just whack the A and B buttons one after the other as fast as you can to win the
first round,
then re-try and you will be racing one of the bad guys, Miroku. Defeat her in
the race to get
the Cannon pass.
If you go visit the Husky Trainer in his house, challenge him and beat him
again. Then go to the pot in the chimmney at his house and get the DOGSPEAK
ability (you may now talk to the dogs).
Go up to the fun-fair and talk to the guy at the cannon. Watch the funny cut-
scene and then
make your way to Port Town.
4.1: PORT TOWN (Town)
You should buy the blade things, armor, etc., and equip your party with them.
Stock up on
healing items.
BOSS 5: AQUA-BEAST (Boss)
With healing items, these guy shouldn't be that hard. Defeating him gives Yae
her mermaid
powers; now she can swim in the water. Use her to get to the house with water-
only access
in the town. Talk to the men, then go to the bridge in the northwest section of
the town.
MID-BOSS: KORYUTA (Minor Boss)
Just keep fight him and he will lead you to the water temple.
DUNGEON 3: WATER SHRINE (Boss Level)
I think this probably the most confusing castle, so I suggest you be around
level 25 before
you come here. It will be easier for you to get past this maze if you head
towards the bottom
floor, the head towards the middle staircase once you get to the bottom (it goes
up).
BOSS 6: THAISAMBA 5, GUARDIAN OF THE SHRINE (Main Boss)
This Thaisamba is a lot smaller than the other ones but it's a lot harder than
them to, so
just use Goemon and Sasuke's magic. That will get his HP down, then attack with
normal attacks.
Make sure you have healing items with you!
5.1: HIDDEN VILLAGE (Town)
5.2: THE MISSING GIRL (Mission)
Go to the top left corner of town you will see a building. Talk to the people
inside, then talk to the girl in the southwest section of the town.
Talk to the guy outside of the house that you woke up in (in the northwest
section of town), then go inside and talk to the guys in there. Go to the
opening to the left of this house to fight.
BOSS 7: TIGER BEAST (Major enemy; appears afterward as a standard enemy.)
This guy is pretty tough but you should be able to handle him.
HE'S THE ONLY BOSS THAT TAKES YOUR ITEMS, SO STORE ALL OF YOUR ITEMS BEFORE YOU
FIGHT
OR YOU WILL LOSE THEM FOREVER!!!!!
5.3: THE LAVA FIELDS (Action)
Switch to Sasuke (because he can walk on lava), and eventually you will run into
Imari,
Miroku, and Takeru. They seem to be searching for something, so go up a little,
then to the
left and get a treasure box.
DUNGEON 4: FIRE TEMPLE (Boss Level)
When you get there the trio pushes you out of the way and goes in first. This
temple is kinda
weird; you must push these things that look like levers to move the floor to go
to the next
room.
BOSS 8: MASTER OF FIRE (Main Boss)
This guy is a really hard boss, so make sure that you are at a high level.
6.6: THE SECRET DOJO - PART 1 (Boss Level)
When you get there I suggest you pay the guy 2000 ryo per floor because you
wrecked the guys temple and all, plus I think he builds it faster if you do.
This guy also pits you against
these monsters before you can get to the next floor.
BOSS 9: THE WHITE TIGER (Dojo Boss)
BOSS 10: BIG TURTLE (Dojo Boss)
BOSS 11: BLUE DRAGON (Dojo Boss)
BOSS 12: PHOENIX (Dojo Boss)
6.7: KORYUTA RETURNS (Mission)
Go to the most northeast house of the Hidden Village and talk to Koryuta. Then
go south of town
toward the Lava Fields and talk to him again. Pick the top option, and he will
take you to...
7.1: TROPICAL ISLAND VILLAGE (Town)
Talk to everyone in town, then you must return to the last 3 towns to find
workers that the scientist needs. Each one is in a random building in each town,
but the guy in Oedo is outside.
Go back to the Tropical Island once you have found all 3 guys and talk to the
scientist. He will allow you to enter through the gate in the southeast section
of town; you can only get to it
with Yae (water-access only)!
7.2: WATER SPRINGS (Action)
Work your way up and north. The fountains take you up, and the whirlpools take
you down.
(Sometimes, you must take a whirlpool down to get to another fountain that leads
up!)
7.3: THE FINAL JEWEL?
Watch out for dead ends, and don't be afraid to backtrack!
7.4: WOOD ROBOT (Main Boss)
Try not to use Goemon here; you'll need him for the next battle.
7.5: MIROKU (Main Boss)
Only Goemon can fight here. Use alot of magic to win!
Sigura takes the jewel and runs (he's been using you all along!) Now what...
7.6: FINAL BATTLE
Go to the place where you first met him, then go up you will see a tree. Go in
there it and will take you to the last level.
This level is really hard because you have to go through a bunch of warps.
Make sure you have lots of potions because the boss and level is really hard. I
suggest that while you are there you should catch the dragon monsters for all
four of your characters (this dragon is the most powerful monster in the game,
and will help you beat the last boss). Once you finally beat this level go to
the top of Mt. Fugi. Sigura summons this big blue devil guy (I think it is his
father). Make sure you save before fighting this guy. I suggest you have all
your charecters in the high 40's before you fight this guy.
I also suggest you have a lot of the potions that give you 200 HP, and make sure
you have Impact ready to fight. Once you finally beat this guy you have to fight
the Sigura, don't worry because he doesn't take after his dad at all; one hit
and he is dead. Congratulations, you beat the game! (or did you......... )
