INTRODUCTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was going to be a big and comprehensive FAQ like the one I did for Endless
Ocean. Unfortunately real life rather cruelly interrupted (as some of you
know) so it is a shadow of what I had imagined.
I am hugely pleased that a number of people have filled in all the gaps with a
great set of detailed FAQs. Check them out on
http://www.gamefaqs.com/wii/954373-endless-ocean-blue-world/faqs
the numbering is all a bit of a mess since I thought I'd be able to complete
the FAQ eventually. But it is as it is. The plot walkthrough is the best bit.
I've removed section 13, because ac_helper's Title Guide does it so much better:

Enjoy!

===============================================================================
[2] QUICK CONVERSION COURSE FOR ENDLESS OCEAN PLAYERS
===============================================================================
If you are already familiar with the control scheme of Endless Ocean, then
getting into the sequel should be no trouble at all. There are just a few
different things you might need to know.
Controls Autoswim is on the '+' button instead of '-'
Creatures are identified once and for all as soon as you focus
on them - there is no need for prolonged interaction.
To poke or stroke a creature, first focus on it with 'A' then
- select 'Food' from the tools menu
- shake the Wii Remote
To go back from menus, use the '-' button. The 'B' button seems
to work as well some of the time, but '-' is the official one.
You can't use '+' and '-' to zoom in and out on backgrounds.
That feature just isn't in the game.
The controls behave differently when you point off the screen.
In Endless Ocean you'd keep going as if pointing at the edge
of the screen you just left - in Endless Ocean 2 your diver
will level off. This takes a bit of getting used to. The 'lazy
diving' trick of covering the end of the remote seems to work
though, so long as you are swimming horizontally.
As with the first one, the controls are much smoother in
first-person view. Probably best to stick with that most of the
time, especially when you are in confined spaces where in
third-person the body of the imaginary 'cameraman' still exists
and can get snagged on things.
Direction In Endless Ocean, when you dived from the boat, you started off
facing north. In this game you could be facing any of the four
compass directions.
So check your compass before you swim off.
If you are diving with a human partner and stay still for too
long you will automatically turn round to face your partner.
While this has some value, it can get annoying if you are doing
lots of close-up investigation, or if they get in the way of a
good photograph, and it is all too easy to lose track of where
you are facing, especially in dark places. Once you've
discovered your way around, consider diving alone for this sort
of work.
Finding out what to do
There's no email! Funny how we all relied on it and all moaned
about it at the same time. There's no Catherine either. So, in
this game you don't get nagged nearly so much.
Do use the notebook on the table on Nineball Island. It
contains lots of interesting quests and remembers the key
things that other characters tell you - easy to overlook it
since we are not used to having it there, and its importance
isn't thrown in your face in the game.
The workaday missions that used to come by email can be got by
talking to other members of your team on the island.
When you are diving, check for red circles on the map, they
are more plentiful in this game during the main plot bits.
Diving partners
You can dive with people as well as dolphins. Dolphins are
useful in some circumstances, but people are particularly
handy because you can talk to them underwater, and they often
help. Dolphins can't do that.
Each diving partner (human or animal) has different skills,
some of them enormously useful, so it is well worth getting
the hang of them - check out the different options on their map
screens or when you talk to them underwater.
===============================================================================
[3] OVERVIEW
===============================================================================
You are a university student of folklore, and have taken a break from your
studies to pursue the legend of the Song of the Dragon in the Republic of Paoul
in the South Pacific. You fall in with a group of people who not only have the
same interests but actually know something about it.
You are also a pretty awesome SCUBA diver.
Your new companions are your guides through a story that crosses the world and
includes rather a lot of diving, exploring and following clues - along with a
seemingly endless number of money-earning tasks to be performed, things to
find and do and stuff to buy.
It's a tough old life, but somebody has to do it.
But while you're at it, take some time out from the harum-scarum to explore the
world around you. Each new area of the game, once it is unlocked through the
plot, is completely open for you to explore, and packed with creatures,
treasures and trinkets to find, interact with, photograph and generally play
around with.
Talk to your companions, or read your notebook, to find further tasks and
missions throughout the game, and equip yourself, your home island and your
own private reef with equipment and other goodies from your friendly
neighbourhood trader.
Endless Ocean 2 is a big sandbox of an open-ended exploring game, and
though you can't (thankfully) die, there is plenty of danger, challenge and
mystery embedded in it.
People who have been diving in life say this gives a reasonably realistic
impression of the experience. The fish are real fish: their common and
scientific names, appearance, behaviour, information given about them and where
you find them are accurate within the reasonable limits of putting them in a
game.
===============================================================================
[4] PLOT/GAMEPLAY HINTS
===============================================================================
You're most unlikely to get completely stuck in this game. Unlike the first,
which sometimes lacked essential bits of information, here if anything there
are too many pointers - the game is very helpful if you know where to look.
1) I am stuck and don't know what to do
---------------------------------------
Three things you can do here:
- talk to the people on Nineball Island. They will often have something
helpful to say or something to do
- check the notebook on the table on Nineball Island. It accumulates tasks
and quests from things that people have told you and sometimes on its own.
Anything that isn't marked as cleared has something that needs to be done.
- click on the boat to depart from the island - you might find a new area
has opened up, in which case it might be a good idea to go there
2) I am diving and Jean-Eric wants me to go somewhere - I can't find it
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Check your map (press (1)). Nearly always there's a red circle that you are
supposed to swim to. You can keep the map open while you swim - the map
display will dim enough so you can just about see your surroundings.
If you get to the circle and still can't find whatever-it-is you are
probably somewhere deep. Try swimming downwards.
There's one occasion this doesn't work, when you are in the Antarctic.
there, you'll need to follow the clues you are given and look in all
directions when you apparently reach the destination.
3) I'm worried about being attacked. How do I handle it?
--------------------------------------------------------
This can be quite alarming the first few times, but it is not as hard as
it seems. The game always warns you when you are close to danger and there
are several ways of dealing with it.
- running away is nearly always an option. Go back the way you came and
you'll be out of danger temporarily until you come back. You can
outswim most things.
- get some practice with your pulsar. Try it out by calming down peaceful
fish, and arm yourself before you go back into a danger area - you'll
have plenty of time to tranquillise the baddies.
- dodge. Easiest if you are swimming fast, such as when riding a dolphin.
6) I found a place that I can't get into ...
--------------------------------------------
There are a few places you can find by exploring but not get into until you
have acquired a new skill or equipment or some other help. You will not be
able to get into these areas until they have been unlocked.
Some can only be unlocked by following the plot, for others you may need
some help - try diving with a partner.
11) The ... (dolphin) won't be my partner, I've tried everything ...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Dolphins work differently in this game. Only two of them will become your
partners straight away - there is a quest to get hold of the others. If
you have trouble in the quest, try just re-visiting the dolphin.
13) How do I get new clothes/hairstyles/gear?
---------------------------------------------
You can get some at Nancy's shop. Others come as rewards for quests and
missions.
13) How do I find treasures?
---------------------------
There seem to be three sorts of treasures:
- those that can be found nearly anywhere and multiple times. Search with the
multi-sensor. It is handy to have GG along as your diving partner too once
he is available.
- unique ones always in the same place. You can find each of these only once.
Your multi-sensor gives off an extra flash when you find one.
- treasures from quests. These give off a red glow rather than the usual
white one when you find them in the quest/mission. Probably can't be found
outside the quest, as it seems that different treasures can appear in the
same place.
14) I can't find the ... (fish)
-------------------------------
This is something where the game is really helpful.
After you've completed the main plot, just click on a creature's silhouette
in the Marine Encyclopedia and you will be shown exactly where it lives on
any of the game maps.
- For small fish, dive with Océane, as you'll find more places they may be
hiding.
- For large fish, dive with Hayako when she is available and use her map
options to find where creatures are.
Some creatures appear only at particular phases of the moon, or at night,
or after being unlocked somehow.
===============================================================================
[5] CONTROLS
===============================================================================
This section details the usual controls for moving around and interacting with
creatures, treasures and the environment.
It doesn't include camera, Aquarium and Nineball Island controls for now.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[5.1] WORLD MAP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will see this when you board the boat at Nineball Island, or when you use
the Boat menu to Depart from a diving area, or when you exit the Aquarium.
There is a list of available dive areas on the right-hand side. Just point to
one and press (A) to select it.
You will be flown to the dive boat at that location or, if you picked it,
back to the pier at Nineball Island or into the Aquarium.
Each flight takes a whole day, so it bites into any mission deadlines you
may have. You won't miss anything critical to the plot or side-quests -
but if you want to grab everything as it comes, there is a bit of a
time-management problem to be wrestled with. A return journey takes two
days, of course.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[5.2] BOAT MENU
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will see this when you are on the boat at a diving area - except for
cutscene conversations this is about all you can do on the boat.
Select an option with D-pad (left/right) or the pointer and press (A).
The options are:
- Depart - to leave the diving area and return to the World Map
- Dive - to dive in this area (after picking a partner and dive site)
- Rest - to wait until a particular time of day
- Save - to save your progress
It's easy to forget that Save option is there. Good to use after you've
done something difficult/found something important.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[5.3] TOOLS MENU
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will use this often when diving, surfacing and using extra equipment. It
also contains options for changing game settings. The tools menu is available
on shore and underwater, but the options available to you vary.
Open the Tools menu with D-pad (down)
The menu shows at the bottom of the screen
Select option with D-pad (left or right) or with the pointer
* It is usually easier to keep the pointer out of the way and use the D-pad
in case of pointer wobble, especially when sharks are around.
Not all options are available at the start of the game, the missing ones
will unlock eventually as you progress.
Press (A) to select an option
The options are:
- Pen - to write underwater
- Whistle - use the whistle
- Camera - to take photographs
- Pulsar - to heal sick fish or calm aggressive ones
- Food - to feed or touch creatures
- Multi-sensor - to search for hidden things/substances/treasures
- Return to boat -
- Items - look at the items you are carrying
- Options -
You'll only see the options that are available to you. Many of them are
not available when on land.
Close menu with D-pad (down)
Tools/Options
-------------
Displays a screen with buttons to change the game settings. Click on a button
with (A) to change that option
Change Diving controls:
- Normal: (default) restricts the vertical angles you can face
This keeps you mostly the right way up.
- Expert: no restriction - you can turn somersaults and swim
upside-down. This is likely to be very disorienting for
beginners, but it adds a new dimension for experienced
players and can be very useful for taking interesting
photographs.
Volume:
- adjust volumes of music and sound effects (default 100%)
Wii Speak:
- Turn Wii Speak on and off, or adjust the volume
Classic Controller:
- Set controls for the Classic Controller
Restore defaults:
- returns all settings to the default
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[5.4] BASIC DIVING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To dive from the boat
---------------------
Select "Dive" from the Boat menu
- Choose a partner to dive with or "go alone"
- Pick your diving spot (you can only dive at named diving spots)
On-screen Display
-----------------
Compass (top left)
- shows the direction you are facing
* Compass Help: Some people have a bit of difficulty using the compass.
It works just like a compass in real life in that 'N' (the red arrow)
always points to the north, which in the game is always the top of the
map. The direction you are facing is the one at the top of the compass
face. You will get the hang of it eventually.
Air gauge (far left)
- shows how much air you have left. When it runs out, you will get pulled
back to the boat. You get a rather alarming warning signal before this
happens.
* You use more air at greater depths, and you will lose air if you get
hurt by a creature. Early in the game you don't have much stamina, so
you can't dive for long - but this improves quite rapidly the more
and the deeper you dive. You can also buy air tank upgrades from
Nancy.
Depth gauge (near left)
- shows how deep you are, and what angle you are to the horizontal
Map
---
Press (1) to open the map
- the red arrow shows your current location and direction
- animated red dots show the route you have taken
* other map options are available when questing for treasure or when diving
with Hiyako.
Press (2) to zoom in/out
Press (1) or (-) to close the map
Underwater controls
-------------------
Posture: Point the remote in the direction you want to face or swim
Swim: by holding (B)
* While swimming you can execute a spin-roll by shaking the remote.
Auto-swim: press (+) once to swim continuously, press any button to cancel
* Lazy Swimming Trick: While using auto-swim, if you cover the end
of the wii-remote with your hand and point it away from the
screen, your diver will keep going horizontally in a straight line
as if you were still pointing at the screen.
Viewpoint: press (2) to toggle third-person/first-person viewpoint
* In first-person you are closer to the action, but it is less easy
to gauge the scale of things as there is nothing to compare them
with. So everything in the game looks a bit smaller than it is.
The diver's body (behind you) is affected by the environment, so
you may experience what look like camera problems if an unseen
fish runs into you.
* In third-person you are further from the action and have a better
sense of scale, you can also see a wider area, but the experience
is not quite so immersive, for example kelp and soft corals bend
out of the way when the camera, not the diver, goes through them.
Surfacing: When near the surface, use (A) to look out of the water.
Quick turn: Press (B) twice to do a quick somersault turn. Easily done by
accident if you get into the habit of using (B) instead of (-) to
exit menus.
Tools menu: to drop food, take pictures, use the whistle, pen, pulsar, sensor
Food
----
Open the Tools menu and select "Food"
There's no limit to hom much food you can hold.
Press and hold (A) to hold a handful of food. Some creatures, including
Hammerhead sharks, will come and feed from the hand.
Release (A) to drop the food in the water.
Some creatures have a good sense of smell and will be attracted to food from
a distance. Some like their food but not when it is placed directly in front
of them.
Press (-) to exit.
The underwater pen
------------------
Open the Tools menu and select "Pen"
Select a colour and draw in the water by holding (A) and
moving the Wii-remote
- there is a limited amount of ink
- point at "OK" and press (A) to confirm, the drawing will not stay there
unless you do
Select the eraser to rub out what you have done.
This can be useful for:
- marking searched areas
- communicating with others during a multiplayer dive
- befriending some fish
The Pulsar
----------
Open the Tools menu and select "Pulsar"
When you are close enough to use it (look for the reticule on a fish) shoot
the pulsar to heal a sick creature or calm an agressive one.
The colour of the reticule indicates how many shots are needed:
- Green = 2 shots
- Yellow = 3 shots
- Purple = 4 shots
- Red = 5 shots
The indicator bottom right shows how many shots you have available before
you have to wait briefly to recharge. You can buy upgrades from Nancy.
Some creatures, notably Thanatos and Electric eels, are immune to the
Pulsar.
The Pulsar can be useful for photography, as it slows fish down, The
Pulsar effects do not show on the resulting photograph.
The Multi-sensor
----------------
Open the Tools menu and select "Multi-sensor"
The pulsar will scan for about 30m in the direction you are facing, and if
it 'sees' a treasure the indicator dot will change colour and the noise
will grow louder.
Blue is furthest away, then yellow, then red.
The indicators at the bottom right show the composition of what is detected,
from left to right these are: stone, metal, wood, density.
When the indicator is red you should be able to see a flash and click on it
to collect the treasure. If not, it may be behind something, try coming from
the other direction.
Return to boat:
--------------
Open the Tools menu and select "Return to boat"
The map will display showing
- where you have dived
- the maximum depth you reached
- the horizontal distance travelled in kilometres or miles
- the length of time the dive took
Any new areas of the map you have visited will be uncovered. Including
adjacent areas of the land or the deep ocean.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[5.5] CREATURES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most of these controls apply both underwater and on shore.
Focus
-----
Point to a creature with the remote. If the cursor turns to an (A) you are
close enough to focus on the creature.
Press (A) to focus on it
- you automatically follow its movements when focused
- brings up the creature's Details bar at the bottom of the screen
Press (D-pad right) to zoom in, (D-pad left) to zoom out
Press (B) to unfocus
Creature details
----------------
The Details bar shows at the bottom of the screen when you are focused on a
creature. It displays "???" briefly if you have not yet identified the
creature, and otherwise shows its name.
- a creature's details are placed in the Marine Encyclopedia the first time
that you focus on it
Point at the Details bar and press (A) to show creature details you have
learnt
- scroll up and down with D-pad
- use the tabs at the top to see maps of where the creature can be found, and
Trivia information
To unlock the Trivia information where there is any, you need to interact
with creature. It varies from creature to creature what does the trick, but
usually it is one of touching, feeding or taking a photo.
Other actions
-------------
- Grab/ride - Hold (A) & press (B) to ride on a whale/dolphin/whale shark
- press (2) to change the camera angle when riding
- Take picture - Tools/"Camera" then (A) to photograph (see Photography)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[5.6] CLOSE-UP VIEWS AND ACTIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hidden creatures and coins
--------------------------
When you see a white glow (you need to be close enough to it), point at it
Press (A) to get a close-up view, then:
- Zoom - (D-pad right) to zoom in, (left) to zoom out
- pan and tilt - tilt the remote
There will be creatures and/or coins here
- some are very small, look carefully
- Interact with creature - as normal
- Pick up object - point and press (A)
Diving with Océane makes it easier to see and find these glows
Actions
-------
When you see a sparkling glow, there is an action to be performed
Point and press (A) to do whatever-it-is
This includes picking up plot-related items, opening doors, reading
inscriptions, all that sort of thing.
===============================================================================
[6] MAIN STORY WALKTHROUGH
===============================================================================
This walkthrough is intended to cover the *bare minimum* you need to do to move
the plot forward. There is a huge amount of other stuff to do in the game, talk
to people or check your notebook to find out what.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[6.1] CHAPTER 1 - THE SONG OF DRAGONS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Start of game
----------------
Create a character and pick a save slot
- get opening credits
Select your character's gender in the course of a conversation, and you get
thrown into the sea
- taught how to turn and swim
Follow Jean-Eric's instructions - swim forward and through the cave.
2) On the boat at Gatama Atoll
------------------------------
Select your name, tan level and features, and confirm your photograph
- meet Jean-Eric and Océane
Now it is time for your diving test! Good idea to 'save' first, then
select the 'dive' option
- taught to dive from boat, select dive point
Océane will teach you
- how to focus on fish
- how to open the tools menu
- how to feed and touch fish
- how to investigate close-up (shiny lights on corals/seabed etc)
Explore as much as you like. When you try to leave this area to the south
you'll see a humpback whale calf. Focus on the calf and agree to find its
mother.
- taught how to open the map
Swim south-ish to the red circle on the map to reunite the whales.
Oh dear, Océane dropped her pendant, which makes a noise that attracts the
whale. Shake the remote to avoid the charging whale. Now the pendant is
stuck on the whale's nose.
- taught how to grab and ride on a large creature
Grab the whale and retrieve the pendant
- taught how to return to the boat and save
3) On the boat at Gatama Atoll - the next day
---------------------------------------------
Océane has gone off on her own somewhere dangerous.
- Jean-Eric gives you the Pulsar
Dive at Deep Hole Entrance
- option to be told about the Pulsar
- taught about the air gauge
Swim south to the red circle on the map, then through the Kelp tunnel and
into the deep hole in front of you. Use the pulsar to calm the shark.
- taught how to examine sparkly things
Swim down to the bottom and examine the little swirl of light
- got the pendant
- taught to use the Pulsar to heal sick fish
Now you've retrieved the pendant, return to the boat fit the pendant together
and travel to Nineball Island.
4) Nineball Island
------------------
Jean-Eric explains the island and the things you can use, and introduces you
to the local dolphin. Give the dolphin a name then ring the bell to call it.
- learnt how to train dolphins
- got the sea whistle
Use the radio on the table to call Nancy
- learnt how to shop
- got the camera
- got access to the gate for online diving
At this stage you have everything you need to go off exploring Gatama Atoll
on your own in daylight.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[6.2] CHAPTER 2 - PHANTOMS OF THE CASTLE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you're ready, click on the boat to fly off to the Aegean.
5) Ciceros Strait
-----------------
On the boat, you are interrupted by GG, you'll meet him again later.
- got the multisensor
Dive and swim southwest through the gap in the rocks ahead. Use the
multisensor to find a red glow and click on it.
- got a chip of lapis lazuli
Swim forward and southwest again and use the sensor - it detects something,
but there is a whirlpool in the way. Follow the rockface round to your right
to get to the other side of it - your target point is marked on the map.
Use the sensor to find another red glow and pick it up.
- got another chunk of lapis lazuli
Keep following the cliff around to find the wreck of the Arktos at E4.
Fend off the shark with the pulsar and use the sensor on the sand by the
side of the wreck to find an old bracelet.
- got old bracelet
Jean-Eric suggests searching the southwest of the map. Swim that way and
you'll find the route blocked by whirlpools. So return to the boat and get
taken back to Nineball Island.
5) Nineball Island
------------------
Call Nancy on the radio. She'll come and interpret the bracelet.
- got night diving gear
- got underwater pen
Now click the boat to return to Ciceros.
6) Ciceros Strait
-----------------
The 'rest' option on the boat is now available. Rest until midnight and
dive at East Ciceros Dini - the closest you can get to the southwest. Swim
towards the marked point on the map.
- multisensor now enabled for salvaging, you can search for treasures
Swim past two tall columns into Triton Village Ruins. As you approach the
southwest corner you'll meet GG, but he's not happy to be there. Here's
why - a bunch of sharks. Your pulsar doesn't work either, so go hide in
the well instead - they won't be able to get to you there.
Hmmm, strange, there's a passage here at the bottom, let's follow it. Swim
forward down the passage, left at the end and up the tower. Just below the
surface there are exits to the north and east. Take the north corridor to
enter ...
7) Valka Castle
---------------
You get to practice with the underwater pen here. Don't forget to click
'OK' when you're done.
Swim forward to the room at the end, take a right avoiding the Lionfish,
and swim straight across the next room to enter the Underwater Gallery.
Towards the end of this gallery there is an open door on your right. Go
through it.
- Océane notices a map on the wall
The door opposite the map has a glowing handle. Examine it to open the
door, and swim through into the Mermaid's Ballroom. Keep going straight
ahead - there's a door at the end of the room to the right of the throne.
Open it and swim through.
There are doors to the right and left. the one on the right takes you back
the way you came, but the one on the left is locked.
Go back to the ballroom, turn right to the throne, use the pulsar on the
Lionfish and grab the key from the throne. Now you can go back to unlock
the door to the King's Chamber. In you go.
Check the glow on the portait on the left-hand wall. Hmmm, it claims to
be watching over a door - so go to the bookcase opposite and examine the
book. The good news is this opens a secret door, the bad news is it closes
the one you came in by. Oops.
Before we worry about how to get out, swim through the secret door and
check the glow on the desk to find a lapis tablet.
We're locked in, so we can't use the 'return to boat' option.
Check the desk in the King's chamber to find an unlocking mechanism,
check the door again to find it didn't help. So Océane will go off to work
the switch while you push the door. Just get the timing right and you'll be
free.
Now return to the boat. Phew!
8) Nineball Island
------------------
Back at the island, the guys seem to have decided it is a good idea to do
some real work.
- photography missions available from Jean-Eric
- guided dive missions available from Océane
Talk to Océane and she'll tell you about rewards for filling in maps. Now
call Nancy to decipher the tablet. Well, it seems she can't do it ... but
she knows someone who can.
- equipment upgrades available from Nancy
- Aquarium available
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[6.3] CHAPTER 3 - POLE TO POLE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Click on the boat and head for Japan where the Aquarium is.
9) Aquarium
-----------
This is some big aquarium. In exchange for Hayako deciphering the tablet,
you agree to go hunting polar bears in the Arctic.
- met Hayako and Enoshike
Leave the aquarium and you'll return to Nineball Island.
10) Nineball Island
-------------------
Now click on the boat to fly off to North Canada. Very north.
It's cold here. You need to swim fast - dolphins are good at that
- learnt to dive with dolphin partner
Focus on the dolphin, grab it and swim northwest towards the red circle
on the map, dodging the shark on your way. At your destination swim to
the surface and press (A) to stick your head out, then click the button
to clamber ashore.
- learnt to go ashore from a dive
Ah. A polar bear. Focus on it awhile, then return to the boat and depart
for the Aquarium.
11) Aquarium
-----------
Enoshike asks you to be curator of the Aquarium. Who could refuse? You sure
can't. Get the guided tour, put some creatures in the tanks and talk to
Enoshike again (you'll find him standing near the corner of the main tank).
Tell him you've finished even if your efforts were paltry, and he'll take
you to Hayako.
The tablet has been deciphered, and apparently there are rumours of
something interesting in the Antarctic. More cold.
Hayako joins the team and you return to Nineball Island.
12) Nineball Island
-------------------
At this stage - if you've left the game for a while - it isn't altogether
obvious what to do next. But talk to Hayako and she suggests going off to
the Weddell Sea, so let's do it.
13) Weddell Sea
---------------
Luckily, Hayako has brought some stuff with her that helps you swim in cold
places
- got AAP wax
Dive, and Hayako will come with you
- got Hayako's map abilities
Swim southwest towards the big iceberg, and Hiyako will point out the
sights, including the big fissure to the south of the 'berg. Remember that,
as it comes in handy if you get lost.
You hear a sound, and Hiyako will guide you to the source at Lower ice cave
3. It is all too easy to lose yourself in this little quest, so
alternatively you can find the ice fissure and follow it downwards, or swim
directly to C3(3,8) 40m deep and face north. Swim into the cave to reach
the Iceberg Cavern, where there is a big powerful Leopard seal. Hint.
When you get control again, keep swimming west and examine the glow in
front of the circle of large ice splinters. Remember the thing with the
whale? Blow your whistle in front of the ice splinters and dodge the seal.
Now swim through the hole he made and follow the corridor around and up to
the Hall of Radiance, where there is a distressed porpoise.
Heal the porpoise with the Pulsar, and you've made a new friend. Name it,
and get out of the iceberg through the hole in the floor and following the
corridor back the way you came in.
Now everything is going on at once. There's a blue whale, but also the guys
on the boat are panicking. Better return to the boat to help.
There's a whiteout. Follow the porpoise to escape from the ice. Turn right
and right again if you have difficulty following it.
Now you are returned to Nineball Island.
14) Nineball Island
-------------------
Talk to Jean-Eric to hear the story of Matthieu, then follow Hayako's
suggestion to rest in the cottage.
The next day, GG shows up with some news of interesting things in the
Amazon basin.
- GG joins the team
- Cortica River available
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[6.4] CHAPTER 4 - THE SECOND SLATE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take the boat to the Amazon
15) Cortica River
-----------------
Dive here and GG will dive with you. Hayako is on the radio with advice
about some of the nastier creatures as you meet them. Swim upstream through
the perilous waters:
Distract the Piranha with food
Calm the caimans with the pulsar if necessary
Avoid the Electric eels (they are scared of the whistle - keep whistling)
After the mangrove maze things are safer for now. Keep going upstream to the
Spirit Falls, which are guarded by two frog statues. You'll need to switch
them in sequence to open the gate - the sequence being lapis, lapis,
silver, lapis, silver. (Hiyako tells you this and GG remembers it).
Use the multisensor to work out which frog is which - pay attention to the
icons at the bottom, one is stone, the other metal. Then throw the switches
on the frogs' heads.
Swim forward and follow the corridor and straight ahead into the small
temple to find another lapis tablet.
Of course, now you need to get out, there is a giant crocodile in the way -
use your pulsar, escape back to the river and return to the boat.
Hiyako deciphers the tablet, which reveals there's a missing piece to be
found. Strangely enough, Jean-Eric knows where it is.
16) Nineball Island
-------------------
Jean-Eric tells the story, which leads to waters off the East coast of
Egypt.
- Zahhab available
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[6.5] CHAPTER 5 - THE MYSTERY IN THE ABYSS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's fly off to the Red Sea then.
17) Zahhab
----------
Dive at the twin crevasses (E4) and swim to the marked circle on the map,
now dive down the fissure there. It's a long way down. Once you get to the
bottom - about 170m down - swim to the marked air station to replenish your
supply.
We need to find a series of metal plaques left behind by Matthieu, and
follow the trail. You'll find this easier if you swim a few metres above the
bottom so they are not obscured by rocks.
The first, (labelled 18th May) is just south west of you. Keep going in the
same direction towards the end of this corridor and you'll find the second
(19th) at the bottom of a cave to your right just off the floor. This is
the start of a secret passage - go back to refresh your air if you need to,
then follow the passage to the end (20th) and turn left (north) to the next
junction to find (21st). A new airstation will be dropped here, so get a
refill.
Swim a little northeast for the next (22/5), and keep going beyond that
sticking fairly close to the floor.
Oops. There's something in the way. You really don't want to tangle with
that on your own. Jean-Eric has a suggestion though - you need to find a
whale.
Backtrack southwest-ish into the northernmost dead-end and there's your
answer. Use the whistle to lead it to where you were, dodging where
necessary, then stand back and watch the fun.
Now the coast is clear check your map and swim northeast and turn right
into the low tunnel which takes you to Osiris' Courtyard.
Find the waterproof bag in the submarine and return to the boat.
18) On the boat
---------------
GG opens the bag, reveling a lapis disk and a letter.
We return to Nineball Island.
19) Nineball Island
-------------------
Reassemble the flute - it goes together vertically - and Hayako will go
off to interpret it. Talk to the others while you are waiting and Hayako will
emerge. Looks like it is some sort of map - this should remind you of
something you saw in Valka Castle.
Solved - the map points back to Zahhab.
- got Trimix, can now dive normally in the Depths
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[6.6] CHAPTER 6 - FOREVER BLUE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Depart for Zahhab
20) Zahhab
----------
Dive at the Long Fissure (D2) and aim south. Swim along the fissure looking
for a wider part, and examine the glow that you find. there's definitely
something below there.
Swim directly east (again, your target is marked on the map) to the Super
Drop-Off and dive down over the edge to a wide cave-like inlet in the rock
face.
Use the multi-sensor on the door-shaped bit of rock to discover metal,
and scarper back to the boat to avoid Jean-Eric's home-made explosion.
... The next morning ...
You're on the boat bright and early, and everything looks familiar. Even
the conversation gives you that sense of deja-vu.
You know what's going to happen here.
Dive, and swim forward through the cave, and ...
21) BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER
-----------------------------
Time to stop and think a bit. You're about to go into a big and potentially
dangerous place. If you run short on air you may not be able to get out
easily or at all, and if all you've done so far is follow the plot you will
have barely enough air and stamina to get by on, and that's if you don't
get lost.
If you want to, now is the time to go away and ramp up your diving skill,
buy upgrades, and generally increase your chances of survival.
Don't say you weren't warned.
Now, back to the story.
21) Cavern of the Gods (I)
--------------------------
The rest of the team has joined you. So swim through the entrance, where the
current drags you forwards. There's no way out unless you can stop it.
All corridors are blocked by currents. Swim straight ahead up the stairs,
inspect the big mural and use your dragon flute on it. That seems to have
worked, except that we've lost one of the team. One down, three to go.
Go to the corridor where Océane is - the south-pointing one - and swim down
it. Turn right at the end and you'll find some stairs further down on your
right. Swim down them into the Altar of Nephthys.
Inspect the statue, use the dragon flute and - whoops - one more team member
gone.
Make your way back to the entrance and cross to the northern corridor. Turn
left at the end and go down the staircase to your left to the Altar of
Osiris.
Inspect the statue, use the flute and lose another team member. It's just
you, and by now I bet your air is running low. Don't panic.
Swim up the stairs and turn left along the corridor. You're swept into the
Altar of Horus.
Inspect the statue, use the dragon flute and you'll find the currents have
died down.
NOW IS A VERY GOOD TIME TO RETURN TO THE BOAT, REFRESH YOUR AIR AND SAVE.
If you do that, just swim back into the entrance to continue where we left
off.
23) Cavern of the Gods (II)
---------------------------
Now that Hayako is back, you can read that big mural in the entrance.
Inspect it, and you'll find there is an unsolved puzzle. Return to the Altar
of Horus (north corridor, turn left then second left) and inspect the
statue again. Swim down through the hole that is revealed into the
subterranean reception room, and up again through the hole at the other
(south) side into the Altar of Isis.
Swim up the stairs here, turn right and right again and further on your right
you'll find another mural. Inspect it so that Hayako can read it. Something
about the rays of the setting sun, so turn west away from the mural and
swim down the stairs to the wall opposite - inspect the glow and push the
stone to open the mural.
Swim up the stairs to the Pillars of Shadow room. It's huge. Jean-Eric
tells you there's another room above, so swim up the centre and through the
ceiling, where you'll find a massive stone door. Locked shut. Don't worry,
as GG has a way of opening it - now here comes something to worry about,
a pair of Goblin sharks, and they aren't happy.
You need to fend these guys off with the pulsar while GG handles the door.
More importantly, until you do send them packing the door won't get opened,
and you could run out of air if you just sit there waiting to be attacked -
so take the initiative and go after them.
Phew! That's over, and the door is open - so swim through it.
24) ANOTHER PAUSE FOR THOUGHT
-----------------------------
</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
You get a choice here as to whether to go through the door or not. A hint
that you are about to hit a point of no return - or of no return for some
considerable time at least.
If you go through that door, you won't be back here for another 100+
hours of game time at least. That's if you get out at all of course.
Still want to go for it? Good. Keep swimming into the ...
25) Celestial Mausoleum
-----------------------
There's yet another sun mural here. Use the dragon flute on it.
Here we go again. The sharks are back, with their even uglier uncle. And all
the doors are locked. It doesn't look good.
What you need to do here is inspect each of the three statues, but the sharks
won't let you. So calm all three sharks, inspect the first statue then do the
same thing twice more. Do remember which statues you have visited already or
you will waste time.
Done. No more sharks. Enter the Dragon.
See that pesestal/capstan thing in the middle of the room? Looks like it
turns - give it a try. (I don't remember the exact sequence here, you may
have to swim down into the eastern room first to trigger this).
Wow. Treasure. But you've only 10 minutes to get the heck out of here.
Swim through the western (ram statue) door down through the Pillars of
Shadow, down the steps and turn left - retracing your steps. Nope, the
currents have been turned back on. Go all the way back to the Mausoleum and
through the opposite door where Océane is. Swim down and to the mural ahead
of you. Inspect it.
You get an unhelpful crackled message to do with 'finding ... Set'. But
before you go haring off around the building, take a look at the column
immediately to your right. Inspect it. That opens the door.
You get out just in time as the ruins crumble around you
AND THE CREDITS ROLL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[6.7] THE BEGINNING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this stage you'd think the game is over.
As Jean-Eric says, "you sound like you think we have nothing more to do".
All the areas have been unlocked, except you've just gone and locked one of
them up again for a long time.
Well, at least, you'd think the story is over. Except it isn't - I'm pretty
sure there is more to come.
At the very least you'd expect to be able to collect all the stuff there is
to collect, except some of it is locked up again.
At the very very least you'd expect that's the end of there being specific
tasks to do. My, do you have a surprise in store.
26) Nineball Island
-------------------
" ... that moment marked the beginning of your new life on Nineball Island."
Check the notebook. Talk to people. Enjoy the ride!
===============================================================================
[8] PEOPLE
===============================================================================
The people you encounter, whether in person or otherwise, through the game's
storyline. All character notes are based on or extrapolated from in-game text.
Jean-Eric Rouvier
-----------------
"Born in France, he was once an internationally renowned ocean adventurer but
had to stop diving after a particularly bad case of decompression sickness.
Now he lives and works quietly on Nineball Island, an outlying island of the
Paoul Republic in the South Pacific. He runs R&R Diving Service, a
full-service professional diving company, with his granddaughter.
Jean-Eric is a quiet and coolly rational man, but does have the occasional
emotional moment."
The head honcho of R&R Diving Service: a gentle bearded man who can no
longer dive following a touch of the bends, but runs R&R with a good
humour and a sense of adventure.
Don't get on the wrong side of him on the pool table, he is a whiz at 9-ball
and likes to hustle.
He has contacts with the major diving magazines, and so is your source of
photography missions.
Océane Rouvier
--------------
"Jean-Eric's granddaughter, who works as a dive guide with R&R Diving Service
despite her young age. She grew up in the Paoul Republic with the ocean as
her own personal playground, so she is a first-rate diver. She is bright
and cheerful but also has a slightly solitary and obstinate side, perhaps
because she lost both parents when she was small"
A 14-year old diving prodigy - Matthieu's daughter and Jean-Eric's
granddaughter. Both her parents died when she was very young and she has
been brought up by Jean-Eric, which probably explains why she is charming
and helpful to you but a bit of an impetuous selfish brat to him.
She's a nice kid really, just don't get on the wrong side of her.
Has contacts with printers in the Paoul Republic, and acts as your agent for
selling maps. Talk to her when you complete one.
GG (Gary Gray)
--------------
"GG is a famous American treasure hunter who has been heavily featured in the
media. He is very accomplished in his field, having single-handedly salvaged
several famous treasures. His real name is Gary Gray, but he tells everyone
to call him GG because he thinks G is a lucky letter. He also loves to use
words beginning with G whenever he can"
You can probably tell from the flamboyant taste in swimwear that GG is not
the shy and retiring sort. So far as egotistical, self-centred, abrasive
people go, he right up there with the best.
He does know his stuff though, and he loosens up a bit as you go through the
game.
Has plenty of contacts in the salvage business, and keeps getting salvage
missions for you.
Hayako Sakurai
--------------
"Hayako comes from a well-known family in Kyoto, and her ferocious intellect
has allowed her to earn PhDs in such disparate fields as mechanical
engineering, ecology, marine veterinary science and archaeology, even though
she is only in her early 30s. Like many geniuses, she tends to jump from one
topic to another and can be a little too candid, which tends to make others
uncomfortable. She is slightly obsessed with food."
All this, and modest with it. Really, to meet Hayako you wouldn't think she
was a genius, and she doesn't rub your nose in it either.
Nancy Yung
----------
"Nancy is a businesswoman based in the Paoul Republic. She sells high-value
items and her delivery service is much appreciated by local people who live
on small, scattered islands. She is very artistic and knowledgeable, and can
do anything from appraising salvaged objects to giving haircuts! She is very
frank and all business when it comes to money. She is descended from a long
line of ocean traders."
Drives a hard bargain, does our Nancy, but a girl's got to eat.
Ichiro Enoshima
---------------
"Ichiro has a very specialised position as Aquarium Producer, designing and
curating all of the exhibits in the aquarium. His talent is such that he has
to constantly turn down offers from aquariums all over the world, but you
would never guess it - perhaps because of his whimsical and free-wheeling
personality."
Matthieu Rouvier
----------------
"Matthieu was Jean-Eric's only child and Océane's father. He once adventured
all over the world with Jean-Eric after they founded R&R Diving Service.
When he passed away, he left behind two lapis lazuli pendants which held a
mysterious verse."
Jean-Eric's son, and the other 'R' in R&R Diving Service. He died 14 years
ago on a quest - one that you pick up and follow through. You do get to know
his character quite well from the way Jean-Eric talks about him, and from
Océane's inherited impetuosity.
Finley
------
The world's best dolphin trainer, according to himself.
===============================================================================
[11] MARINE ENCYCLOPEDIA
===============================================================================
Introduction
------------
This is a simple list of creatures in the Marine Encyclopedia, for more
details on them, see my in-depth guide at:
-
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/wii/file/954373/59031
The reference number in angled brackets is searchable so you can find what
you want quickly.
- the number after 'P' is the page number
- the number after '/' is where it is on the page, reading it like a real
book
A few creatures appear in the game but not in the Marine Encyclopedia,
among them:
- the dog that you find washed up on an island at Gatamo Atoll
- the blue bird that you chase around the world
Sticklers for accuracy should note that all creatures from page 63
onwards are 'legendary' - that is, fictional or extinct.
How to find creatures
---------------------
After you finish the main plot you can click on any creature in the
Marine Encyclopedia - even a blank silhouette and you will find maps
of where it can be found.
If you haven't, then check out ac_helper's guide at:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/wii/954373-endless-ocean-blue-world/faqs/60912
Dive with Oceane to find small creatures that hide under glows (you get
more glows and can see them from further away).
Dive with Hiyako to find larger creatures (her map screen shows the
exact location of large creatures near you, even those you haven't
identified yet).
