Q) How do you get their details?
A) In general, just rub them until they sparkle as shown in the training at the
start of the game. At this point you can see its name and basic info.
Further details can be found out by rubbing it again on future days (or you
can just save and quite and then load again...), until all 3 pieces of
information are complete.
If rubbing doesn't work, try feeding the creature. Dolphins like your
whistle, too. A few very stubborn fishes in the Abyss still won't budge,
namely:
* Fanfin
* Pelican eel
* Bluntnose sixgill shark
Being in the dark, these guys like bright colours so get their details by
drawing all around them with your underwater pen to make them sparkle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q) Do you get anything for finding them all?
A) Once you have all three pieces of information for all 214 creatures (yes,
that's 642 entries!) Catherine approaches you with a special message:
"I really can't believe that you actually did it. You've surveyed every
species in the Manaurai area. It's simply amazing! Beside the fact that
nobody has ever done this before, it looks like there's a new specialist in
town. Which reminds me...
I received a call from the aquarium to say that they've managed to aquire
a White Mother specimen. Problem is, everyone thought it was a myth up
until now, so there aren't any resident specialists there! Currently, the
most well-versed person seems to be you and the aquarium would be grateful
for your expertise. I'll handle the introductions, you get to the
aquarium."
This unlocks White Mother in the aquarium, so now you can feel the joy of
swimming with four of them at once! OK, so not a fantastic unlockable,
but something to aim for at least.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q) My game is still set in July, and I haven't found every creature. Do I
need to wait until later seasons?
A) To get absolutely everything, yes. But in fact, nearly everything can be
found in summer in some place or another. The exceptions are:
* Japanese flying fish (Page 4, Autumn)
* Mahi-mahi (Page 18, Autumn)
* Orangespine unicornfish (Page 2, Autumn)
* Blackfin barracuda (Page 18, Autumn)
* Atlantic bluefin tuna (Page 23, Autumn)
* Broadclub cuttlefish (Page 6, Winter)
* Blotchy swell shark (Page 16, Winter)
Summer is June, July and August.
Autumn is September, October and November.
Winter is December, January and February.
Spring is March, April and May.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q) Can every creature be found simply by exploration?
A) No, there are some that require certain actions to be completed before they
will appear. These are:
* White mother (Page 41)
* Magu tapah (Page 42)
* Orca (Page 32)
* Beluga (Page 32)
Certain others have related cutscenes when they appear, but can't really
be missed if you explore properly! These would be each of the whales and
dolphins, and the Whale shark.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q) How do I find the White mother?
A) Basically just follow the plot and complete the game. Essentially this
means:
* Complete the training dives at the start to get equipped-up
* Explore the Great Aqua Cave (entrance L7)
* Explore the Abyss (entrance G7)
* Explore the Marige Atoll ruins (entrance D6)
* Collect the Pocket-watch and sample from the Abyss, find all the whales
* Place the five sensors and then wait for the alert! The Whiet mother
appears by the Great Drop-Off
This isn't a walkthrough, so I'm not going into too much detail above! Just
talk to Catherine if you're stuck.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q) How do I find Magu tapah?
A) You need first to retrieve the Shark's Tooth Necklace, which is an item
located at Knives Reef, D5 (top left) on the sand at the bottom of the reef.
Once you come back to the boat, Catherine will say:
"That looks like a pretty rare item you've found... I think it's
a shark-tooth necklace. The shark is a revered animal in many
South Pacific countries, and it's the same here in Paoul too.
Their ferocity and toughness is often admired, especially by
soldiers.
The most noted example is the God of Violence and Death who had
the form of Magu Tapah, a giant great white. From the size of
that tooth, it must have been huge, possibly even something
nearing the size of Magu Tapah... Perhaps it'll bring you luck
if you wear it?"
Magu Tapah appears in the Ocean's Graveyard once this item has been found.
To see Magu Tapah, visit the Ocean's Graveyard at night and go to the
top-end of the broken ship funnel that's lying next to the ship at H3
(bottom right). A cut-scene will trigger unlocking the beast.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q) How do I find the Orca?
A) Once approximately 90% of the main map has been uncovered, you will receive
the following email from Alfred:
Email: Strange Ceremony
"It seems you ar really throwing yourself into your work
recently. Remember to take care of your health - this is your
most important resource! That reminds me of a ceremony people
in the Paoul Republic have taken part in since time immemorial.
They pray to the storm god for good health and even for
immortality before a rock shaped like a human face. It's just a
superstition, but take note of it anyway. You never know when
this information might come in useful."
After this email the Life Beads appear in the Underwater Ruins of Marige
Atoll, I5 (top right), on the roof of the ruins in front of the 3 heads.
Retrieve these, return to the boat and Catherine will say:
"Like like you've found some Life Beads. These items are known
as "Comma-shaped beads". In Japan, they were used as bodily
accessories. They existed her in Paoul too, but according to
legend, they belonged to a medium who served Tso, Matah and
Wengah, the Gods of storms, calm and war, who decorated her body
with them. Tso, Matah and Wengah were said to be the ruler of
orcas, and the wearer of these comma-shaped beads would be
granted their friendship and protection."
Now the Orca (Killer whale) is unlocked and will appear at the Ocean's
Graveyard in the daytime swimming around near to the Pirate Ship.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q) How do I find the Beluga?
A) First three conditions must be satisfied:
1) All areas in the Great Aqua Cave must have been visited.
2) All caves in the Abyss must have been visited.
3) All six of the stone tablets in the Underwater Ruins must have been
found.
For each of these, the game indicates completion by Catherine telling you
the survey is complete and you can return to the boat. Once the conditions
are all met, the following email will be received from Alfred:
Email: White Dolphin
"How are you? I'm sure you are fully acclimatised to Manaurai by
now. I am writing because I heard a strange rumour the other
day. Apparently, there have been a number of sightings of a
mysterious glowing white dolphin by Paoul fishermen who got lost
in the area west of Rock Land. If you're interested, perhaps you
could investigate. This is the area where the ruins were
discovered. Perhaps other secrets are waiting to be
uncovered..."
After this email is read the Old Bracelet appears in the Gallery of Souls,
F4 (top right), on the sandy floor in the main Manaurai sea. Retrieve this,
return to the boat and Catherine will say:
"Looks like you've found an Old Bracelet. It appears to have
some kind of engraving on it. Let me see... The emblem is that
of a seven-headed serpent... Which suggests it was once owned
by royalty.
This reminds me of an old Paoul folk tale about a kingdom long
ago that was threatened by a great flood and of a brave prince
who could control dolphins using the power of a mysterious
bracelet. Anyway, he used it to avert the disaster and all was
well. The bracelet in the story was said to be very distinctive,
an item truly fit for a king and possessing unique powers.
Could this really be the same item? It might be a good idea to
wear it, for good luck."
Now the Beluga is unlocked and can be found in the small chamber at H7
(bottom left) (that was revealed by flooding the adjacent room) in the
Underwater Ruins of Marige Atoll once this item is found.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q) What's the rarest creature?
A) Hmm, there are several that spring to mind. The Pygmy seahorse is hard to
track down (until you know it's permanently at a certain loacation!), as are
the Weedy and Leafy seadragons, and the Sakuradai as they all only like one
type of coral. The Sea otter can be easily missed for its size, as can
the Kidako moray and Mahi-mahi. The Cinderalla sea slug stumped me for a
while, but my vote in the end would have to go for the Isoginpo.
It's only in one (small) location, takes a while to get to, and has quite
a low probability of appearance. Git. Should be called 'Isogitpo'.

213) White mother
Balaenoptera sp
With a length of 30m, this whale appears in the ancient legends told in
Manaurai. Bigger even than the blue whale, it is thought to be the biggest
creature on the planet. Its body is a divine pure white, without a single
blemish. Can be seen in the vicinity of the Great Drop-off.
The external appearance of this creature is that of a blue whale, yet its DNA
is slightly different which strongly suggests that this could be a new species
altogether. Its body isn't white due to any deformity, but is naturally
coloured. Despite its colossal size, the habits of this creature remain
unknown due to no specimens having ever been discovered.
The ancient legends passed down generations say that this white whale is the
protector of the seas around Manaurai. All residents, from children to adults
know of these legends and regard this whale as an object of faith. With no
recorded sightings, the creature itself was considered to be a fictitious,
mythological beast for a long time.

214) Magu tapah
Magou tapa
The legendary great white shark with a giant body and a length over 7m. Its
name is that of the god of violence and death that features in myths told
around the islands of Paoul. Can be seen swimming around all areas of the
Ocean's Graveyard all year round.
Innumerable scars cover its body as the result of numerous vicious battles. It
bears a wound made by either a harpoon or a spear, but there's no telling how
old it is. It's probably a good idea to avoid giving it a reason to attack.
According to the Paoul myth, he was the youngest of six sons of the goddess
"White Mother" and a great leader who brought unity to the many soldiers of the
land. Unfortunately, he ignored his people due to greed and was banished by
the head god to the stagnant ocean. Tsi Matah Wengah, an unruly god, was
entrusted with ensuring that the violent god of death didn't escape.
