[1] The dolphins you get..
----------------
[1.1]Short-Beaked Common Dolphin
- Your standard animal partner. You're able to dive with him after saving Oc‚ane
from the Tiger Shark in the Deep Hole.
Title: Righteous Paladin.

[1.2]Spectacled Porpoise
- The Dolphin from the Antarctic. He will join you when you're with Hayako
diving at the Lower Ice Cave 3 and he is in the Hall of Radiance.
Cure him with your pulsar and you're done. Hayako said that she will
call him Marshmallow.
Title: Splendid Cleric.

----------------
[2]Dolphin Shows
----------------
You're able to give Dolphin Shows! Finally! Anyway, to give Dolphin Shows,
you need at least one dolphin with Free Training. Here's the short answer:
Try to get at least 2m jumps and 4sec timed tricks.
After that, Hayako got a request for you. You can get the
Level Certificate for that dolphin! After the Exam, you can
finally give dolphin shows.. To do one, talk to Hayako and select one.
Now we can start the quest: 'Be the best trainer!'
Here's the long(er) answer:
1 you need to train a dolphin.
2 after many many tricks, Hayako has got a request for you.
3 When you're done with her request, you get more Dolphin Show
requests, and one guy named Finley turns up.
4 Finley will say what you need to do, first you need to have
3 shows completed, after that he will give you some information
about a dolphin.
5 Go to the dolphin (First time: Bottlenose Dolphin, second time:
Narwal...) and do something with it.. (For one dolphin, you need to
calm a shark, one other likes to sing..)
6 After a few, Finley won't tell you his Secret, untill you
completed 20 dolphin shows...
7 After the shows, he will give you more information.
8 Get that dolphin and Finley asks you to get 11 partners, just
like a legendairy trainer.
9 There are more requests for more dolphins.
Good luck :D


----------------
[3]Be the best trainer!
----------------
[3.1] 1. The name is...
Notebook: ''Hayako has been contacted by someone who heard that you'd
befriended wild dolphins. Talk to her for more details.'' Looks like
Hayako got news. Lets talk to her. After the cutscene, you find
out that the World's Best Dolphin Trainer, Finley, has arrived!
He challenges you to put on three dolphin shows. Lets do it!
Notebook: ''Self-styled World's Best Dolphin Trainer, Finley, has
arrived! He challenges you to put on three dolphin shows. Once
you have done that he will visit you again.''

[3.2] 2. Finley Returns
After the three dolphin shows, the quest updates..
Notebook: ''Finley called again after hearing good reviews of
the dolphin shows. Talk to Hayako for more details.''
Finley returns for more action. This time, you have to do
one dolphin show.. Entertain him..
Notebook: ''Finley's new challenge is to entertain him! Show him
what you and your dolphins can do!''
After the dolphin show, Finley has got some news. According to
him, a rare white dolphin has been sighted in Ciceros Strait and
said that he will get him. Océane got pissed and she said that you
will get him first.. Oh boy.. Let's go to Ciceros..
Notebook: ''Finley told you about a white dolphin sighted in Ciceros
Strait. Can you find him before he does?''

[3.3] 3. Thus spoke Finley
Notebook: ''Finley is going to visit R&R again after hearing that
you befriended the white dolphin. Talk to Hayako for more details.''
Our third partner! Finley lost and lets see him again.
Talk to Hayako. Finley shows up and doesn't quite trust us yet..
He challenges us to entertain three more people..
Notebook: ''Finley doesn't quite trust R&R yet, so he challenges you to
entertain three people!''
Entertain them to get the next piece of quest.
Notebook: ''Finley's guests loved the show!''

[3.4] 4. Gossip Finley
Notebook: Finley called again after hearing good reviews of the dolphin
shows. Talk to Hayako for more details.''
Finley looks to trust us a bit more.. Finley trusts us enough to let
us hear his secret. There is a Narwhal living in the Arctic Ocean..
Like we didn't know..
Notebook: ''It seems Finley is finally impressed! He's interested in a
narwhal living in the Artic Ocean. If you have the chance, try to
find it.''
All right! Lets go to the Arctic and find one!

[3.5] 5. Finley's Secret
Notebook: ''Finley is going to visit R&R again after hearing that you
befriended the narwhal. Talk to Hayako for more details.''
Finley is showing up again. He has a secret and won't let it go..
Another challenge.. He challenges us to.. Or train at least 100 times,
or perform at least 20 shows.. Yay for instant titles!
Now, lets do it!
((Note: choose what you prefer. I won't say what you need to do, only that
I chose for the 20 dolphin shows because of the money.)
Notebook: ''If you train at least 100 times or perform at least 20 shows,
Finley promises to tell you a secret...''
Okay, after that, lets talk to Hayako once again and Finley shows up.
The secret is that there are Beluga's in the Arctic. I didn't know that
already! But here it is a special Beluga; it has got a flower pattern.
Anyway, lets check it out.
Notebook: ''There may be a be a beluga with a flower pattern in the south-west
Arctic Ocean. Try to find it!''

[3.6] 6. Finley Shocked
Notebook: ''Finley is going to visit R&R again after hearing that you
befriended the beluga. Talk to Hayako for more details.''
Finley shows up. Again. This time, he trusts us enough to let us help
him. He knows there is a False Killer Whale in the sunken
Valka Castle. Yes, we know, but this one has got a scar in the shape of an X.
Let's find him!
Notebook: ''Finley came to commission R&R to search for a false killer whale
in Valka Castle. Can you find it for him?''

[3.7] 7. Finley's Past
Notebook: ''Finley is going to visit R&R again after hearing that you
befriended the false killer whale. Talk to Hayako for more details.''
Finley is here once again. This is one of the last times you see him, so
be nice to him. He tells you that he has a dream and he's not going to
fulfil it. Now, he wants us to do it. Yay. Anyway, he wants us to
befriend all of the dolphins all over the world, eleven in total,
we just got 6. Why eleven? Because a legendary dolphin trainer has also
got eleven animal partners. Let's do this!
Notebook: ''Finley wants you to fulfil his dream of befriending all the
dolphins in the world. He's heard that someone has befriended 11 dolphins
and small whale.

Make Finley's wish come true! Befriend all 11 species!''

[3.8] End: Eternal Rivals
Notebook: ''Finley is going to visit R&R again after hearing that
you befriended all 11 species.  Talk to Hayako for more details.''
Finley is back. For the last time. Yay! Anyway, Finley is happy.
You've fulfilled his dream. He gives you two presents, the Shark Costume
and Converter Lung, and he's off. Finally. You won't hear ever from
him again. Well, maybe.. I just finished this quest so I couldn't
possibly know. Congratulations on completing this Quest!!
Notebook: ''Finley has left to travel the world promoting the oceans
and the wonder of dolphins.,He leaves you with your dolphin friends
to carry on as his eternal rival!''

Well, the only dolphins in Ciceros are Bottlenose Dolphins, so
lets go to the Cross Rift...
Dolphin: Albino Bottlenose Dolphin
Mission: Save the dolphin, calm the shark!
Place: Ciceros Strait, Cross Rift.

shark in Cross Rift.

Arctic Ocean.''

Mission: Dive at the right time..!
Place: Breathing Hole with the Narwhal's, Arctic Ocean.
Notes: Urgh.. This is a pretty annoying mission.. Here it goes:
- First, go to the breathing hole. Do this WITH Océane.
- Second, watch the cutscene. Go ashore and follow the steps.
- Third, this is where it gets annoying, dive when there is a RED tusk out
of the water. Only than it will happen..
- Last, watch the cutscene and you've got a new dolphin partner! Yay!
Notebook: ''You found some narwhals around the breathing hole in the

at the right timing and sing with the Beluga! After a few times, the
Beluga will join your party.

Yeah, that's what I thought! Anyway, here is how you have to do this..
Hiding place 1: The Spiral Tower. I actually missed this one the
first time I got in. Pretty dumb, because when you swim up,
you can see him. He's at the top of the Spiral Tower.
Oh no! He is spooked and swims away! Now the hide-and-seek really starts!
Hiding place 2: The Collapsed Gallery. This isn't too hard, just follow
the path to the end and you will see him.
Hiding place 3: The Armoury. This one's annoying the first time.
Just go right before the room with the Lion Fish and you're all right.
Hiding place 4: I think he was in the Underwater Gallery.. Just follow the path.
Hiding Place 5: In the secret room where Océane had to sneak in. To open it,
just go to the room and talk to Océane.

and you need to do one thing.Go back on the boat, Rest one day,

young women in the river. The narwal we've got is said

moments, it is used to both the Narwhal and you, so you can
now befriend it! Yay!

re opened! Okay, we can go there now, so lets go! This dolphin is with
the Golden Lady (aka. Treasure Room) in the CoG. When you're
there, you hear a weird voice and it says that you have to offer
two protection items to the lady. Okay, Jean-Eric wants you back
in the boat and says that Nancy has got some nice things on sale.

sense metal and has a gift for finding coins.''.

of all sizes.''.

and spheres and is always looking for them.''.

fish like the ones seen in zoom mode.''.

[7] Hints!
----------------
1. Who's the real one? Don't ever forget that there is only one
dolphin you need! Don't fall for a decoy!
2. What's wrong? With most of the partners, there is something
weird about it. Example: False Killer Whale: X-marks.
Bottlenose dolphin: Albino. Look for anything that isn't normal!
3. Another place? Some of the dolphins aren't where they're supposed to be.
Commerson's dolphin is in the treasure room, for an example.
4. Yay for Lv. 3 exams! Because you can do combo's now, use two moves instead of
one. Why? Because if you fail both times, only one turn is gone!
5. The third move.. Some people have got problems with the special trick.
To trigger it, I normally wave the Wii-remote like crazy. It works most
of the time..
