[Required] 2nd Informant Gig (over Lv18 Aran) 1
Quest:
I have reached Level 18, which means Tru will give me my second gig as an informant. I better head over to Lith Harbor right now and meet Tru.

Tru:
Oh, good thing you’re here. I have a good gig waiting fo you. This time, it took place at the forest of the fairies in Ellinia, and… it’s a bit similar to the last one. It has to do with the violent Green Mushrooms.

The one that watches over the forest, Rowen the Fairy, should know a thing or two why Green Mushroom has suddenly turn violent. Do you know anything about those fairies? Were there any fairies during your heyday? There’s a treasure trove of interesting information that could have been dug from you, if you only didn’t lose all your memory…

In any case, I want you to head over to Ellinia and meet Rowen the Fairy, then ask for information on Green Mushroom. This s your second gig as an informant.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Ellinia is located a bit more east of Henesys. Eh? Are you looking for a cab coupon again? Not this time! If I keep giving you one, then I’ll be broke In no time! Do what you have to do to get there, but no more cab coupons!

Summary
The second one involves the suddenly-violent Green Mushroom. Seems quite similar to that of the first one. I better head over to Ellinia and meet with Rowen me Fairy to discuss the cause of Green Mushrooms distress.

Procedure
1. Talk to Rowen the Fairy located in Ellinia (see mini map below)

Rowen The Fairy
(QUEST COMPLETED) What can I do for you? I’ve been getting headaches over Dejected Green Mushrooms these days. what? You are asking if I know why Green Mushrooms have been acting violent lately? (REWARD: 400 EXP)

Green Mushrooms

[Required] Green Mushrooms (over Lv18 Aran) 1
Quest:
This is my second gig as an informant, and I need to ask Rowen the Fairy of Ellinia why Green Mushroom have turned aggressive in general?

Rowen The Fairy
I don’t know how you found that out, but that’s absolutely correct. Lately, the Green Mushrooms from the southern forest have been getting more and more violent, which I see as red flags. They have gotten really dark these days…

But from what I hear, this is occurring in many places at an alarming rate, so I looked into the matter, and it turns out It had to do with the puppet they’re carrying. A puppet,.? This is really getting bizarre by the day.

I don’t know if those rumors are true or not, but it may have to do with the recent case of the Green Mushrooms. I don’t know why you’re asking me for the reason behind me sudden violence of Green Mushroom, but if you’re just as intrigued as I am, then do you want to help me look into this matter?

I wanted to see if it really is because of the puppets… so I want you to eliminate 25 Dejected Green Mushrooms and find Dejected Green Mushrooms puppet if you can.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Thank you. Green Mushroom can be found at Dungeon, Southern Forest iii in The Forest South of Ellinia. You can enter through the tree hole where Talking Tree stands in front of it. so it wouldn’t be too hard to find. Thanks in advance.

Summary
Rowen the Fairy stated that shes been hearing a lot of monsters gone wild, and they all seem to have something in common, that being a puppet. Maybe this one might be included as well, so I better eliminate Dejected Green Mushroom, and ill happen to get my hand on a Green Mushroom puppet, I must return it to her.

Procedure
1. Defeat 25 Dejected Green Mushrooms in Tree Dungeon
2. Obtain a Devastated Green Mushroom Doll from Dejected Green Mushroom.
3. Return to Rowen The Fairy after completing the task.

Rowen The Fairy:
(QUEST COMPLETED) Wow, did you eliminate all the Dejected Green Mushrooms already? And did you find Green Mushrooms puppets? (REWARD: 1770 EXP)

I thought it was just a rumor .. but now irs really scaring me. The puppet were for real. We need to know how the puppet got into Green Mushroom. If you are willing to help, then please talk to me.

Tree Witness

[Required] Tree Witness (over Lv18 Aran) 1
Quest:
This is my second gig as an informant, and the question remains, who inserted the
puppet inside Green Mushroom? I better talk to Rowen the Faiiy at Ellinia for some answers.

Rowen The Fairy:
I’m sure Talking Tree, who lives in the southern forest, may have seen who was responsible for placing the puppets In Green Mushroom. Please go talk to the kid and find out who did such a hideous thing. A favor from Rowen the Fairy will always do the trick.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Talking Tree is a special tree that has been grown since it was just a young plant. It’s still young, but it’s kindhearted and modest at heart. He’ll give you a good answer.

Summary
Rowen the Fairy believes that Talking Tree of The Forest South of Ellinia may have witnessed someone inserting a puppet inside Green Mushroom, and asked me to ask the tree.

Procedure
1. Meet Talking Tree at The Forest South of Ellinia

Talking Tree
Did a person just talk directly to the tree? You must be really something… Do you not have any friends by chance? Otherwise you wouldn’t be talking directly to a tree anyway… What you’re here as a favor from Rowen the Fairy?

(..I thought this tree was supposed to be kindhearted and modest at heart..)

Rowen the Fairy.. Sigh, I mean first she plants me at an awkward spot like this, and now shes asking me to do some stuff. Seriously, something’s wrong with her, She keeps asking me to gather up the cursed doll and everything. Why can she do it herself? Oh, what’s the favor by the way?

(Rowen the Fairy must be quite delusional…)

(QUEST COMPLETED) Someone that’s responsible for planting the puppet in Green Mushroom… I am not sure. I did notice a strange kid dropping by Dungeon, Southern Forest III, and that kid had a puppet in his hand. Hey, come to think of it, ever since that visit, the Green Mushroom seemed much darker than usual. (REWARD: 100 EXP)

Is that all you need? Okay now leave me alone. Trees need time by themselves.

2nd Gig Completed

[Required] 2nd Gig Completed (over Lv18 Aran) 1
Quest:
This is my second gig as an informant and I must relay Talking Trees witness accounts to Rowen the Fairy of Ellinia.

Rowen The Fairy:
So what did Talking Tree say?

(I told him what I heard from Talking Tree)

A kid with a puppet? This seems very suspicious. I am sure the kid’s the reason why the Green Mushrooms have gotten violent all of a sudden.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) How dare the kid wreak havoc on the forest down south. This is really a serious matter. Restoring the forest down south will take years… which means I’ll have to devote my time to restoring that area now.

(1 was able to flnd out what caused the changes of Orange Mushroom. Now I should gather up the information and report the results to Tru.)

Summary
Rowen the Fairy is sure that the reason behind the change of Green Mushrooms is because of the kid carrying the puppet, and urged to take better care of me south forest Now that this case is all but wrapped up, I better gather up the information and hand them over to Tru.

Procedure
1. Meet Tru located at Lith Harbor (The Info Shop)

Tru:
Oh. this time you’re back fast. You must be learning the tricks of acquiring information in an efficient manner. Anyway, so what’s the reasoning behind the Green Mushroom acting violent at Ellinia?

(I told him what happened in Ellinia, and that the reason behind the Green Mushroom acting out might have to do with the puppet that this kid was carrying around with.)

(QUEST COMPLETED) A kid carrying a puppet.. that’s unusual This proves the theory that someone deliberately planned on changing the monsters to a more violent type… (REWARD: 400 EXP)

Okay, thanks for this valuable piece of Information. This is what I’d call lucrative Information.

Okay, your task is complete, so you should rest up until I call you for another gig. As a bonafide hero, I think it’d be best if you can spend your free time training and gaining some valuable experience needed to return to your old, heroic form. Ill let you know by around Level 23. In the mean time, if you find any information on the kid with the puppets,

By the way. I wonder if the fairies are doing a good job taking care of Green Mushrooms. It must be really hard for them to control them all. Maybe it’ll be good to ask return to Ellinia and ask if they need a hand.

[EXTRA] Rowen Request 1

Quest:
I wonder if Rowen the Fairy is doing a good job maintaining the forest. I better head over to Ellinia to see her.

Procedure:
1. Meet Rowen The Fairy at Ellinia.

Rowen The Fairy:
Apparently, the south forest was where the puppet-carrying kEd appeared, and Talking Tree was the one that said it. When the kid entered the dungeon, he had Devastated Green Mushroom Doll with him, but after he left, he was without it. I’m sure it has to do with making Green Mushroom violent again.

It’d be nice to find me one that’s responsible for this, but Talking Tree said that the kid literally shows up everywhere, so catching him red-handed will be difficult for now… but that doesn’t mean we are going to let Green Mushrooms be like that. We must recover the puppets so we can bring peace back to the south forest Will you please help us?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Then l want you to head over to Dungeon, Southern Forest Ill and eliminate some Green Mushrooms. Right now there’s a mixture of those monsters, the one’s that’s corrupted, and the one that’s relatively unaffected, so it’s hard to tell who actually has the puppet.

But your task is simple. Forget about its personality. Just destroy 100 of them Any type of Green Mushroom. Each one of them is affected by the puppet, whether they like it or not, so it doesn’t matter. Try defeating as much as you can. and gather up as many Devastated Green Mushroom Doll as you can find.

Summary:
It seems like The Forest South of Ellinia has seen another appearance of the kid with the puppet I better eliminate Green Mushroom and retrieve the puppet.

Procedure:
1. Defeat 100 Green Mushrooms (can be mix of Normal and Dejected)
2. Obtain a Devastated Green Mushroom Doll from Dejected Green Mushroom
3. Return to Rowen The Fairy in Ellinia.

[Tip] Obtain quest Danger! 1-GreenMushroom (kill 99 Green Mushroom) near Sleepywood. This allows you to do 2 quest at once, and earn more EXP and level up faster!

Rowen The Fairy:
I see that you have defeated Green Mushrooms. Have you also retrieved the Devastated Green Mushroom Dolls?

(REWARD: 10 All Cure Potion, 2100 EXP)

Ahhh, thank goodness. Just thinking about re-training these Green Mushroom back to their usual selves will be a draining experience, but at least this brings a source of comfort for me.

But there’s no way to tell when the kid will come back and drop the puppet once more. If he happens to appear In town, Ill call you up for help.

[EVENT] The Returned Of Aran

[EXTRA] Rowen Request 2

Rowen Request 2 (over Lv20 Aran)
Quest:
I better go see Rowen the Fairy at Ellinia and see if the kid made another appearance at the
south forest.

Rowen The Fairy:
I have just received a report that the kid showed up again at the south forest, and this time Talking Tree even warned the kid to stop, only to be told hell break off the branches If he stops the boy from going in, then he just disappeared.

It’d be nice to catch the guilty one responsible for all this, but we usually can’t This means well have to eliminate Or een Mushrooms and gather up Devastated Green Mushroom Doll again. And just like last time, you can just defeat whatever Green Mushroom you see, regardless of others.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Now please head over to Dungeon, Southern Forest III once more. There, I want you to eliminate 100 Green Mushrooms. regardless of their personality, and retrieve Devastated Green Mushroom Doll as well. We already did this before, so It won’t take too long.

(REWARD: 20 All Cure Potion, 2500 EXP)

We have already retrieved Devastated Green Mushroom Doll three times already. I don’t see what the reason is behind making Green Mushroom more violent, but d like nothing more than for that kid to stop showing around causing trouble.

Shadow:
Hey, aren’t you the one that used to be in Ellinia? So I finally found you! Do you know how long it took for me to finally find you?

(Who are you?)

Me? If you want to know, then you should stop by my cave. I’m even sending you a formal invitation. The moment you accept It, you’ll be sent directly to my cave. Ill be waiting for you.

Summary
When I decided to accept an invitation from a mysterious figure, I found myself arriving at a strange-looking cave! And Inside the cave.., Is the kid with the puppet’ That’s the kid responsible for manipulating the monsters in Henesys and Ellinia? I better talk to the kid and see whats up.

Francis:
(QUEST ACCEPTED) I’m Francis, the puppeteer behind Black Wings. How dare you pick out the puppets that I have planted! It’s really disturbing to think that you’re on my way. but I’ll have to let you slide for now. The next time I find you do this..however. I will make sure to make your life a living hell, in the name of the Black Wizard.

(QUEST COMPLETED) (…Black Wings? In his way? Whats going on? What has finding puppets from the monsters and Black Wizard have to do with this? I better talk to Tru about this.)

[Skill] Puppeteer’s Warning

[Skill] Puppeteer’s Warning (over Lv22 Aran)
Procedure
1. Talk to Tru who is located in Lith Harbor within a shop (Info Shop)

Tru:
Hmmm? I still haven’t found a right kind of information for you.. well do you need me for anything else? Or a juicy information that I should know…?

(1 told him of the time I encountered the master puppeteer Francis)

Francis, the puppeteer of Black Wings Okay, now this all makes sense The Orange Mushroom crisis In Henesys, and the Green Mushroom crisis in Ellinia are all done by the same guy. But wait… are you telling me he also talks to the Black Wizard?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Now that I think of it… I do remember a report saying that there’s a group that’s trying to revive the Black Wizard. I thought it was bogus, but now… that seems quite legit Are they really trying to resurrect the Black Wizard? Is the prophecy holding true?

I think Black Wings is worth looking into now It seems like a discreet organization, but… there’s no way they can escape the information web that I have set out all over this island. Ill let you know when I find out something thats relevant. You should head over to Rien and tell Lirin what has happened here.

The return of the hero, the group that follows the Black Wizard, and the prophecy… the three seem to go hand in hand. As someone who revived the hero, Lirin has a right to know about this as well. As someone that had studied the heroes for a long time, Lirin may be of great help.

Summary
He decided that since the Black Wings is an organization that strives to resurrect the Black Wizard, These information must be parlayed to Urin as well, and asked me to do so to her. In the mean time, Tru plans on utilizing his network as an information merchant to the fullest and gamer up as much information on Black Wings as possible

Procedure
1. Meet Lirin at Rein to inform her about this matter.

Lirin:
What is it? Mr Truth sent me a message saying that you’ve been training diligently at Victoria Island, while helping him outwith his work What is it? …What? Black Wings?

(I told her the story on the puppeteer and Black Wings, and their mission.)

I see. .1 didn’t know there was such a group. They should know That lt,s a risky proposition just thinking about resurrecting Black Wizard in the world of Maple, and yet they’re doing just that mars just being ignorant.

That, that’s true.. (Kind of scared me with the way she talked there.)

The Book of Prophecy only stated that the hero will be resurrected and battle with the Black Wizard. I wasn’t sure if itwas true, since that was all that was to it, but this confirms it that the Black Wizard is still around.

(Aren’t you scared?)

Scared? No way. Who cares if the Black Wizard shows up again, since you’re here to protect us all, no? If nothing else, this makes me realy want to prepare you for the big encounter. Ah, that reminds me, I found this skill. Would you like to take a look?

(QUEST COMPLETED) (I managed to remember the Pole Arm Booster skill!) (REWARD: 3900 EXP)

This was a skill that was found at an ancient script that was undecipherable. I had a feeling it might have been a skill that you used to use, and I guess I was right This skill may not be much right now, but I’m sure you’ll soon find a way to regain your old form with it.

I don’t know if you notice, but you are steadily becoming more powerful, and I will be here to keep you going, so what is there to be afraid of? You wont lose this battle, you know. You didn’t emerge from ice for hundreds of years only to lose to the Black Wizard. right? Its time for you to finish him of once and for all!

And in order to do that, there’s only one thing you can do, and that Is to train, train and train! Head over to Victoria Island and keep training. Lets make sure you become so powerful that the Black Wizard doesn’t even stand a chance!

Summary
Lirin stated that me fact mat an organization like Black Wings exist means the Black Wizard is well on his way towards resurrection, and that I must train that much harder to retain my old, heroic form and handle the Black Wizard. She then taught me a skill that she deciphered through an old book called Pole Arm Booster!

[Required] 3rd Informant Gig

[Required] 3rd Informant Gig (over Lv23 Aran)
Quest:
I have now reached Level 23, which means Tru will alert me on the third gig as an informant. I better head over to Lith Harbor and talk to Tru.
Procedure
1. Meet Tru at Lith Harbor Info Shop.

Tru:
How’s the training gong for you? I have a new set of information that you’ll need to gather up for me, Lately, Smirking Ghost Stumps have been acting strange at Perion… Doesn’t this sound familiar? The puppeteer Is at it again, doing the same thing at Henesys and Ellinia.

If you want details. you should talk to 10 Boogies. who’s at Perion. She works at an excavation site, so she might know some things about this.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) You know where Perion Is, right? I’m sure you’re quite familiar with Victoria Island, It’s located at the very north of Victoria Island, There, flnd the cutest girl you see there, and shell be the one. Her name’s a bit strange, but yes, she’s a girl.

Summary
Tru seemed to suspect that the Ghost Stump case n Penon s awfully similar to the ones in Henesys and Ellinia, and asked me to gain some information on this case For details, Ill have to head over to Penon and talk to 10 Boogies…

Procedure
1. Meet 10 Boogies in Perion.

10 Boogies:
(QUEST COMPLETED) Ahhh. Are you Aran by chance? I have heard good things about you through Tru. I hear that you’re here to help out on whats going on at the excavation site (REWARD: 400 EXP)

[Required] Ghost Stumps

[Required] Ghost Stumps (over Lv23 Aran)
Quest:
This is my third gig as an information and this one involves studying the suddenly-suspicious Smirking Ghost Stump with 10 Boogies of Perion. I better talk to 10 Boogies.
Procedure
1. Talk to 10 Boogies to start the quest!

10 Boogies:
I have been spending some hme investigating the strange turn of events that have taken place here at Excavation Site I and Smirking Ghost Stump suddenly becoming violent is one of those issues. I was having a hard time doing all this by myself but now that you have offered to help, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Thanks for coming, and let’s do this.

Alter a number of tests, I came up with the conclusion that the Ghost Stump acted strange because of this strange puppet called Smirking Ghost Stump Doll. This means well have to eliminate Smirking Ghost Stumps and remove the Smirking Ghost Stump Doll as well. Maybe defeating a 100 would help you find one?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) It hasn’t been long since Ghost Stumps went crazy, so
frankly I am not sure which one of the two, whether it be Smirking Ghost Stump or Ghost Stump, actually carries the puppet.

So I don’t know how the personalities play out, but I just suggest eliminating any form of Ghost Stump. Oh by the way, if you manage to defeat all 100 of them, but come away with out a puppet, then just come back here. There might be a different reason for it, then.

Summary
10 Boogies seemed to already know that the reason for Smirking Ghost Stump’s erratic behavior is because of the puppet, and asked me to enter Excavation Site I and defeat 100 Smirking Ghost Stumps while retrieving Smirking Ghost Stump’s puppet, but she also told me If I can find the puppet after a 200 casualties, then I can just return to her, with no problem.

Procedure
1. Defeat 100 Ghost Stumps at Excavation Site 1 (see picture below)
2. Return to 10 Boogies after completing the task.
NOTE: Ghost Stumps can be any personality, either normal or smirking.
NOTE: You complete the quest without having doll dropped from Ghost Stump.

10 Boogies:
(QUEST COMPLETED) I see that you have defeated 100 Smirking Ghost Stumps by yourself. Did you happen to find the puppet? What.. no puppet to be seen? (REWARD: 3900 EXP)

Hmmm. I knew something wasn’t right The monitor said that the puppet is here somewhere, but it wasn’t moving at all. Maybe they’re using another way to make Smirking Ghost Stump look suspicious.

I’ll think of another way to spot this. In the mean time, how are you doing with the leveling up? I’ll see you at Level 24.

Summary
I wound up defeating 200 Smirking Ghost Stumps, to no avail. 10 Boogies stresses that Smirking Ghost Stump is being detected somewhere nearby, but it’s not moving

[Required] Find the Puppet

[Required] Find the Puppet (over Lv24 Aran)
Quest:
This is my third gig as an informant, and I’m here at Perion with 10 Boogies, investigating the causes by Smirking Ghost Stump’s erratic behavior. I better go talk to 10 Boogies

10 Boogies:
I am quite certain the puppet plays a part in Smirking Ghost Stump acting strange. This monitor catches the force of darkness emanating from the puppet, and displays it on the screen. If the puppet was inside Smirking Ghost Stump, then it would have been moving, but look, it’s not moving at all.

That means the puppet is somewhere around Smirking Ghost Stump. but not necessarily inside its bony, Nearby the excavation site, you’ll see a pile of relics lying around. Maybe the kid hid in somewhere in between.

In order to stop Smirking Ghost Stump from going any further, well have to defeat them all and retrieve the puppet. Your task right now Is to head over to Excavation Site I, blast all the piles of relic, and find Smirking Ghost Stump Doll for all of us. The monitor shows that there are 5 puppets out there. Please retrieve them all.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Urn… you don’t know how to break down a pile of relics? Just use a regular attack on it. and the pile will crumble.

Summary
10 8ooies told me the reason behind Smirking Ghost Stumps erratic behavior is because of the puppet, and states that the puppet is not necessarily inside Smirking Ghost Stump‘s body, but somewhere outside. I better break apart the pile of relics In Excavation Site 1 and find Smirking Ghost Stump Doll.

Procedure
1. Visit Excavation Site 1 and use regular attack to break Relic.
2. Obtain 5 Smirking Ghost Stump Doll from Relic.

10 Boogies:
Wow, you managed to find all the Smirking Ghost Stump Dolls around the area. Okay this one is going straight to the report (REWARD: 4500 EXP)

First, well have to wrap up this project. and it’ll take a bit of time, so I want you to stop by later, around when you turn Level 27.

Summary
I was able to find all of the Smirking Ghost Stump Dolls. 10 Boogies seemed genuinely shocked that the puppets were used in that method as well, and told me she had to start writing a report on this. A report?

3rd Gig Completed

[Required] 3rd Gig Completed (over Lv25 Aran)
Quest:
This is my third gig as an informant, and this one involved investigating the suddenly-erratic Smirking Ghost Stump at Perion, and with the help of 10 Boogies, we were able to locate the cause behind this madness. The case seems to be nearing its end. I better go talk to 10 Boogies.
Procedure:
1. Meet 10 Boogies at Perion

10 Boogies:
I think this taught me a number of things. 1st. Anytime there’s a group of monsters mat have suddenly turned violent there’s ALWAYS a puppet involved. 2nd, these puppets don’t necessarily have to be inside the monster’s body to be controlled. It just needs to be in the vicinity of the monsters to be controlled by the puppeteer… And 3rd, The puppeteer does not control monsters in one area. He somehow controls the monsters that are in all parts of Victoria Island!

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Thank you so much for your help. Aran, Your help was very much appreciated. Please ve my thanks to Tru as well. By the way, when do I have to mail in this report.? Oh, don mind me, I was just talking to myself.

Summary
10 Boogies states that the puppet doesn’t necessarily have to be inside the monster’s bodyto function, but just in the vicinity, and will take measures to beef up me security so the kid with the puppets will never be allowed within Perion ever again This concludes the case, and I am going to send me information to Tru.

Procedure
1. Meet Tru at Lith Harbor Info Shop

Tru:
Hey mere. hero! How are you doing? Did you take care or some things with 10 Boogies?

(I told him what happened at Penon where 10 Boogies summarized the whole ordeal.)

Hmmm,.. I see. Okay, Ill contact my informants from all over Victoria Island so we can close in on the puppeteer. (REWARD: 400 EXP)

Anyway, this is like the third or fourth time that you have stepped in and messed with their plans. I’m sure the puppeteer will do something about it. You even ignored his warning once. I have a feeling he might find you first before we find him. Brace for possible attack.

I’ll keep looking into leads that connect to the puppeteer or the Black Wings. In the mean time, how about spending some hme training? Ill see you around Level 28.

Summary
I reported what happend at Perion to Tru, and this concluded the third informant gig.

Procedure
1. Meet 10 Boogies to proceed with the next step.

Ten Boogies

Ten Boogies (over Lv25 Aran)

Procedure
1. Meet 10 Boogies at Perion.

Ten Boogies:
Urn… hi, Aran. I notice that you’re busy, but can you help me out once more? This time, its separate from the Information Tru had been looking for It’s a personal favor, and I will reward you separately for your work. Will that be okay with you?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Thanks to your help. I was able to complete the
investigation, and now it’s time to turn in the reports… yet I can leave this place not knowing when the puppeteer will show up once again, so I want you to head over to Erev and submit this report to Nineheart for me.

Do you know how to get to Erev? Head over to Ellinia, and there should be a flight available to Erev. You’ll get there in about 2 minutes. which is a short trip. Thanks in advance.

Summary
10 Boogies thanked me for helping her solve the mystery, but was stuck in a predicament in that she has to turn In the report, but she cannot leave her post at this juncture She then asked me if I could deliver the report to her boss for her. So my task is to take Report from 10 Boogies, and deliver it to Nineheart at Erev.

Procedure
1. In Victoria Island, visit Ellinia Boat Harbor (the left gateway/portal)
2. The left gateway goes to Erev. The right gateway goes to Orbis.
3. Talk to Kiriru and pay him 1000 meso as a fee to Erev.
4. Meet Nineheart located at Queens Road Erev and give her the report.

NineHeart:
What is it? Hmmm? Isn’t that Report from 10 Boogies? Oh no. this is a confidential report that you just delivered to a stranger. If any of the classified matters is leaked, then… your paycheck will value every sent you lost, 10 Boogies… Hahaha I was just kidding. This report doesn’t include anything that’s classified.

(REWARD: 10 Return Scroll Nearest Town, 900 EXP)

Anyway, thank you for your help. Just know that Erev is not a place where they welcome strangers in the mix, so if you are not interested in becoming a Knight. then please leave immediately. Just the number of Knights training to prevent 8lack Wizard is enough to overflow the island.

Summary
I handed in the report to Nineheart and received a reward. I noticed that he had a
peculiar way of of speaking very inappropriately in a proper tone, That reminds me of another person…

[Required] 4th Informant Gig

[Required] [Required] 4th Informant Gig (over Lv28 Aran)
Quest:
I have now reached Level 28. which means my fourth gig as an informant for Tru. I better head over to Lith Harbor and meet with Tru.

Tru:
You look like you’ve gained a lot of experience over the period of time. I have received a new information. Apparently, Zombie Mushrooms of Sleepywood are suffering from depression. Don’t you think it’s closely related to the puppeteer…?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) The person who first reported this finding was a boy named Eji. Go over to SIeepwood and talk to him about all things Zombie Mushroom, okay? If you find something that leads to the puppeteer, don just attack it right then and there. Just make your way back here and let me know, and well take it from there.

Summary
Reports have been filed that In Sleepywood, a bunch of Zombie Mushrooms have been found to suffer from depression. This has the work of the puppeteer all over It I better head over to Sleepywood and talk to the person who first discovered this, a boy named Eji.

Procedure
1. Go to Sleepywood and meet Eji.

Eji:
A, hell there. Are you the one Tru was talking about, Aran? Nice to meet you! My name is Eji. and I have been exploring Victoria Island in hopes of one day becoming stronger. (REWARD: 500 EXP)

[Required] Zombie Mushrooms

[Required] Zombie Mushrooms (over Lv28 Aran)
Quest:
This is my fourth gig as an informant, and it involves the erratic behavior of Zombie Mushroom at Sleepywood. I better talk to the witness that reported the incident, Eji.

Eji:
Our whole family is a swordsman, and our tradition is that once you reach a certain age, we have to leave home and explore the life of a swordsman, and tha’s why rm here too. And since I am here. I made my way to Sleepywood so that I can follow my brother’s footsteps and best Balrog myself

But there is a problem. The Zombie Mushrooms in the Ant Tunnel look so scaly, I can even go inside! What? Are you asking me howl am going to take on Balrog when I can’t even fight Zombie Mushroom? No no, I am not afraid of Zombie Mushroom because of its power. I am afraid because
of its scary expression that Is ready to break out any minute.

I noticed that The people that live there at Sleepywood seem way past That point of being bothered by anything. They even told me Even Zombie Mushroom experiences mood swings, too”, Gut really, something doesn seem right, and This needs to be looked into.

Tru told me this is your specialty, and that you will do it all by yourself. Is that true?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Then can you please fight 200 Zombie Mushrooms and beat them? I think what Annoyed Zombie Mushroom needs to be taught a lesson to return to normal. According to Tru, since they just started breaking out, you can go ahead and defeat them, regardless of whether they are affected or not.

Oh, and one more thing. Tru urged me to listen, saying that This probably leads to the puppeteer case, and that you should find the puppet That controls Those monsters. A puppet? Whafs a puppet got to do with this? I don’t know what exacily is going on, but it looks like all you need to do is find the puppet.

Summary
Eu seemed terrified to see so many Zombie Mushrooms making an irritated face, and that prevents him from entering the Ant Tunnel, and asked us to find out what exactly happened to Zombie Mushroom. I guess it involves eliminating Zombie Mushroom and retrieving Annoyed Zombie Mushroom Doll…

Procedure
1. Eliminate 300 Zombie Mushrooms
2. Obtain Annoyed Zombie Mushroom Doll.

[TIP] Obtain secondary quests (Defeating 99 zombie mushrooms and horned mushrooms). This will help you gain more EXP (experience points) and level you faster while doing the primary quest!

Eji:
Wow, you managed to defeat Zombie Mushroom and retrieve the puppet But anyway, what exactly is in those puppets anyway? And what was Zombie Mushroom doing with it? (REWARD: 7500 EXP)

Hey…? What’s this puppet with an intense, gross look on its face? It might be the doll mat the kd was carrying around.

[Required] Puppeter’s Cave

[Required] Puppeteer’s Cave (over Lv28 Aran)
Quest:
This is my fourth as an informant, and it involves Eji, who apparently remembered something by looking at the Annoyed Zombie Mushroom Doll retrieved from Zombie Mushroom I better go talk to him at Sleepywood.

Eji:
A while ago. I saw this strange looking kid wearing a robe passing by this area. The kid looked suspicious from head to toe, from clothing to the way he was carrying Annoyed Zombie Mushroom Doll along, so I talked to him to give him a lecture, and the kid seemed like a total punk’ What did he
talk about? Well…

“I want to become lust like my brother and defeat Balrog myself but I need to pass me Evil Eye Cave before getting there, and.. The Evil Eyes look very scary. I don’t know how I am going to pass through them.

The conversation went something like that. but Is that kid really living inside that cave? Wow. that would scare me so much. Under the same roof with Evil Eye? Oh no way. Don you find that kid strange as well?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Eh? Aran, are you really going to enter and check out and see If the kid really lives there? Wow, no way! Who cares If It’s true or not? Why would you want to volunteer to go in there? No way… but looking atyou, I can easily tell that you’re ready to go. You’re brave, that’s for sure!

Giant Pole Arm:
Mmmmmmm mmmm mmmmm…..

(Giant Pole Arm is buzzing, but who’s that boy standing there?)
(I’ve never met him before. He doesn’t look human)

Maha:
Hey Aran! Do you still not hear me? Seriously, can’t you hear me? Ahhh, this is frustrating!

(Whoa, who was that? Sounds like an angry boy…)

Seriously, the on master I had turned out to be trapped in ice for hundreds of years, abandoning the weapon, and now the “master” can’t even hear me?

(Who are you?)

Aran? Do you hear me now? It’s me, it’s me! I’m your weapon Maha the pole arm!

[Job Adv.] Mirror of Desire

[Job Adv.] Mirror of Desire (over Lv30 Aran)

Lirin:
Seriously what happened to the pole arm What? Giant Pole Arm talked to you in human voice? Hmmm… that’s really something. The record showed that the heroes weapons have an identity of its own, and talks like a human being. but I didn’t think much of it. l guess that was true though.

If it really is the voice of the pole arm, then you’ll need to pay attention to it Just like Giant Pole Arm said, you must find a way to squeeze out a memory in regards to Giant Pole Arm What should we do to have that memory reappear on you.. hmmm, wait a minute, I actually have an item that may hold
the key to this.

Head over west past town. and you’ll encounter a dead end with ice cliffs. Inside, there’s an ice cave, and… you’ll find a mirror that’s made out of ice called Mirror Cave.

This mysterious mirror that was made by one of the workers from a long time ago is called the Mirror of Desire, because it shows what you desire from deep inside your heart, but it doesn’t show EVERYTHING, so its a bit hard to use.

First of all, this mirror only shows things that are directly involved with you, and it only shows a detailed target of your desire, not something nonobjective. You’ll need to really focus a specific target, and desire to see that target on the mirror, and you’ll really get to see it.

Your memories were too broad and non objective, which was too much for the Mirror of Desire to handle. But now we have a specific target with the pole arm, so you may actually get to see something. Go ahead and check out the Mirror of Desire.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Don’t forget, it must be a specific target thats related to you. Then you might get something out oft he Mirror of Desire.

Procedure
1. Head to Mirror Cave Snow Island. Enter the portal.
2. This will teleport you to “Head Blacksmith’s Shop – Aran’s Past”
3. Find “Sir Blacksmith” at the other side of the portal.

(I hear that you are the best blacksmith in all of Maple, and I’d like nothing more than for you to make me the best pole arm in the world!)

Listen. I am too old to be making weapons now, but.. I do have a pole arm with me that I made way back that’s still quite useful. But.. I cant gwe that to you. This weapon is so sharp and sensitive that even the owner will get hurt from time to time. Do you still want it?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Hah. if that’s what you say, then there’s nothing else I can
say. Tell you what. I will give you a quick test, and if you can pass it then Giant Pole Arm is yours. Head over to the train ing ground and take on the Scarred Bears that’s training there. Your job is to bflng back 30 Sign of Acceptances while defeating them, okay?

Sir Blacksmith:
(QUEST COMPLETED) Hoh, were you able to gather up the Sign of Acceptances? You are much more powerful than I thought But more than that. I like the level of courage you displayed by saying that you’re more than willing to take on the weapon that may also turn on you. You deserve it. Giant Pole Arm is yours.

(After a long while, Sir Blacksmith re-emerged with Giant Pole Arm that’s covered in cloth.)

This is the pole arm specifically made for you, Maha. Please take care of her.

[Job Adv.] Mirror of Desire (over Lv30 Aran)
Procedure
1. After completing “In Search of Best Weapon”, meet Maha at Rein.

Maha
You promised me to make me become a famous weapon alter defeating the Black Wizard, but instead, you got cursed by him and abandoned me for hundreds of years… and now youre telling me you doni even remember me? You think l’rn going to let you get away with that? Hey, you are the one that used to beg for me..

(I did tell Sir Blacksmith to make one for me, because I’ll prove my worth.)

Of course, since you begged for me, you should have taken care of me with respect! Where else will you find a weapon like me? I’m Giant Pole Arm, the greatest of all time that fought against the Black Wizard’ And then… you got me trapped in ice for hundreds of years…

(I… didn’t beg for you.)

What? You didn’t beg for me? Sir Blacksmith told me you were on your knees begging for me to be made and everything, and.. wait a minute. Aran’ Did your memory just come back???

(A little bit, but yeah.)

Oh… you’re really Aran… Hmm, hmm hmmm! No, I didn’t just get emotional or anything You were dealt a serious blow by the Black Wizard, and you lost all your abilities to the point where you can even carry me around now, but . you remember me…! At least your level 0f courage is on par with the master I remember.

Even if you don’t remember me, you are still my master. The body that had gone through the extremes should remember the skills that got you to that level in the first place You may feel like everything disappeared on ice, but I can tell that’s not the case. Okay, let me reawaken your abilities now!

(QUEST COMPLETED) Your level is still not on par with your heroic days, so I cant reawaken everthing you have, but the few that I did reawaken should help you level up faster! Please keep training so I will one day get to see the old you. (REWARD: Aran In Memory Medal Title)

My first shipment of yarn from the Nude Ewe sold out really quickly and I wasn’t able to re-stock right away; this isn’t commercial yarn after all. The Wes (Wensleydale) is still not available but happily the Heb and Speck have both arrived.

Now, I’m thinking that a felted bag pattern in black and cream would go a treat with these two and so I will welcome any suggestions for patterns you might know of to suit!

Also back in stock are the fabulous Sock Blockers from the Laal Bear:

Available in Small, Medium or Large and priced at £10; these are going to make some great Christmas presents… in fact I’d even go so far as to say they’d be the perfect stocking filler……!!!

KMS Aran 1st Job Quests Pt. 1 – Available in HD

This takes place right after you advance at level 10. I said in my Becoming an Aran videos that you could treat them as the first part of these quest videos.

Once you advance Lilin/Ririn will ask you to go and speak to the trainer whose name translates to Puoh. He is 2 maps left of town in the training grounds. This is pretty much identical to what the Cygnus trainer gets you to do at 10, apart from you get a much better reward at the end. First you must go in and kill 30 Slimes, then 30 Orange Mushrooms and finally 30 Pigs. I lagged and opened the chat box twice at the end of these quests so I apologize for that but it shouldnt ruin anything. By the end of this you will be level 13 without putting in much effort at all. You will also be rewarded with the skill Combo Ability. Which I demonstrated in another video, Im sure youve all seen it of course.
You receive a little animation every time you acquire a new skill form a quest. It’s 2 pole arms crossing over your head. I slowed it down and showed it again so you could get a better look even if the level up covers it a little. I think it’s a nice little effect. But you will most likely miss it since the chat box covers it by default lol.

Once you are done with that go back and talk to Lilin/Ririn. She will give you a scroll (not shown in video) to take to an NPC in Lith Called Tru. So of to Lith Harbour it is! To leave Rien head all the way right from town and you will find the Harbour. Talk to the NPC there to ride the whale (lol) to Lith. This is the only way to and from Rien.

When you arrive in Lith head to the new building that is located at the top right of town. You can’t miss it. Inside is Tru. Talk to him and complete the quest. This guy is basically the new Nineheart. You will be coming back and reporting to him a lot. I suggest you buy a good number of Lith return scrolls for convenience.

You will immediately receive a new quest from him. He will ask you to go and speak to Teo. Teo wants 10 Green/Blue/Red Snail Shells. This is very simple especially if you can find a few Mano’s to kill but good luck with that on launch day. After you get 10 of each report back to Teo then back to Tru.
Next he will ask you to go talk to Bruce in Henesys. He will also give you an envelope. If you talk to the newly added Taxi you can use that note to ride there for free.

*Character switch, I will be using this character from now on.*

When you arrive there talk to Bruce and he will ask you to get 30 Mushroom cones. I wonder what part of a Mushroom they drop from? Perhaps it is their unmentionables. I tested this but didn’t film it, you can kill orange mushrooms as well to get the cones. I chose Cynical Mushrooms because I prefer that map since it has a good pure spawn. When you get all 30 return to Bruce and he will then want you to get 30 pig tails. These drop from normal Pigs and Ribbon Pigs, so head of to your favourite spot and collect them. Return to him for his final proper quest. He wants you to kill 50 Cynical Mushrooms and collect a Doll from them. This is just like the Cygnus quest, a few of the Aran’s quests are similar to the Cygnus ones. Once you have killed them and collected the Doll come back for your reward. He will then ask you to go back and see Tru, so head back there and get another small exp reward.

The Next quests begin at level 18, you should be around level 15 by now so go level up some more then come back and see Tru. I will continue on from here in the next part of this video.

KMS Aran 1st Job Quests Pt. 2 – Available in HD

Aran Level 18+

Once you level up to 18 go and speak to Tru, he will have a new quest for you. These next chain of quests take place in Ellinia so head there, Find Rowen the Fairy and talk to her. She will want you to kill 25 Sickly Green Mushrooms and collect a Doll. Yes I did say Sickly. Just like Cygnus added the Cynical Mushrooms Aran has added 3 new monsters. The first being these Sickly Green Mushrooms. You should head over to the Tree Dungeon to kill these. Killing normal Green Mushrooms will not count towards the quest total. After you have completed it head back to Rowen and get your Next quest. This one is really simple, all you have to do is talk to the new NPC located outside the Green Mushroom Tree dungeon. You will have already seen him. His name translates to Talking Tree which is quite appropriate. Go talk to him then head Back to Rowen and she will ask you to Speak with Tru, head over to him and complete the quest.

Aran Level 19+

You are not quite done with Rowen yet. Head back there and get her next quest. She wants you to kill 100 Green Mushrooms and collect 1 Doll. It’s pretty similar to the first quest she gave you. But if you think that is unimaginative wait for the next quest. This time both kinds of Green Mushroom count so it shouldn’t take long. Head back to her and get your reward. You are given 10 All Cures. This may seem strange given that you are such a low level but you will have to fight Francis later on and he does like to Seal you. For Rowen’s next quest you have to kill 100 Green Mushrooms and collect a Doll. Yes it is exactly the same as the one you just did so go back and repeat it all again. The reward is better this time so at least that’s something.

Level 22+ *Skill Quest*

The next quest begins at level 22. It’s important so the moment you level you will get a quest light bulb appear above your head. If you are in the middle of something important then finish it off now, as you will be teleported somewhere else. Also it’s a good idea to have a return scroll on you.

You will be contacted by a mysterious figure, hmm whoever could that be. Oh what a surprise it’s just Francis. You are probably expecting a fight but no not yet. Just talk to him and that’s it. You will then be moved outside. So this is where that return scroll comes in handy. The Next part of the quest is to talk to Tru so head over to lith. Once you talk to him you will have to head to Rien and talk to Lilin/Ririn. Once you talk to her you will be given the Skill Pole Arm Booster. This is exactly the same as 2nd Job booster apart from it boosts 3 levels instead of 2. So this is a really good skill.

Level 23+

Now the Perion chain of quests begin. Start of by talking to Tru in Lith. Then make your way to Perion and talk to the Cygnus Representative there, you will be doing a few quests for her. Her first quest is simple, Kill 100 Ghost Stumps. You may also notice a new Ghost Stump. It is called Depressed Ghost Stump, it looks pretty happy to me but whatever. Both kinds count so just kill away.

Level 24+

For the next Perion quest you have to collect 5 Ghost Stump Dolls. They don’t drop from any monsters however. You will probably have noticed earlier that the Excavation Site is now covered in jars/urns. Smash these open until you get 5 dolls. The drop rate is pretty good so you won’t be there all day. After you have all 5 return to the Cygnus Representative and get the reward.

Level 25+

As you can see the quests are getting a bit more spaced out now. You are still in Perion however. This one is simple, just talk to the representative and then head to Tru and talk to him, quest complete. You will then have a new quest from the Cygnus Representative in Perion.

I will pick up from there and show the final first job quests in Part 3 of this video.

KMS Aran 1st Job Quests Pt. 3 – Available in HD

Level 25+

This is the final quest in Perion. It’s really simple. You will be given a Document that you must deliver to Nineheart. So head over to him and complete the quest.

Level 28+

New we move on to the Sleepywood quests. When you are 28 go speak to Tru again and begin the quest. You will need to go to Sleepywood and talk to a new NPC called Jur Nal. He is at the entrance to the Ant Tunnel. After talking to him he will have a new quest. You will need to kill 300 Zombie Mushrooms and collect 1 Doll. You will also see the 3rd of the new mobs added. It is called the Murderous Zombie Mushroom, quite a brutal name for MS. It will probably get changed to Angry or something in English. Killing either kind counts so heading to the Mini Dungeon is probably your best bet.

For his next quest you must make your way down into the Evil Eye caves and to Francis’s hideout. All you have to do is pres up at the doorway as if you are trying to enter and that will complete the quest, easy but quite tedious. Return to Jur Nal and he will instruct you to speak with the statue in Sleepywood. It will ask you to collect 100 Evil Eye tails. Once you have completed this return to the statue then go and speak with Tru.

Level 29+

It’s finally time to fight Francis. Go and talk to Tru, he will give you a special weapon. It’s just the level 30 Pole Arm with a level 29 requirement. Nothing amazing but it could be a nice attack boost for this quest. The Pole Arm disappears once you log out however. So hope you aren’t unlucky and disconnect like I did.

Make your way back to the Evil Eye cave and into Francis’s hideout. You will have to enter a password before you are let in. It is the exact same password as used in the Cygnus Quests. If you don’t know then it’s 프란시스는 천재 인형사! / Francis is a genius Puppeteer! in GMS.. I already uploaded the fight separately but I had space to include it in the quest video this time unlike with my Cygnus quest video.

Once you defeat Francis collect what he drops and take it back to Tru. You will then need to go and see Lilin/Ririn. The moment I entered town my skill window automatically popped up and the Second Job Skill Preview was displayed. I assume this was intentional and not a random bug. All you need to do now is simply talk to Lilin/Ririn and that will complete the quest. That’s it for all the first job quests. All you have t do now is make your way to 30 and advance into 2nd job.

KMS Aran 2nd Job Advance – Available in HD

When you reach level 30 a quest light bulb will appear above your head. Accept it and head to Rien. There you finally get to meet Mach. Just talk to him and you’ll get a tiny cut scene. Then go talk to Lilin/Ririn. She will tell you to go to the Cave at the very top or Rien, so make your way there.

I decided to add a mini map and mark out the route in red. It’s really easy to get there in game all you do is walk left from town but I think it helps give a better understanding for people who have never been there.

Once you make your way inside there will be a glowing blue portal, just go through it and you will be transported somewhere else.

The moment you enter the clock will count down from 15 minutes. It is a Mu Lung themed map. It also has the flash back style effect they used on the intro around the corners of the screen. Talk to the Panda NPC there to begin the quest. It may be a new fancy setting but it’s the same old same old. Just kill monsters and collect 30 etc pieces they drop. They are just like the other bears in Mu Lung but a lot cooler looking. As usual they also give no exp. Make your way left to the next map and get killing.

I was surprised how easy this was. It was a total breeze to get all 30 badges. To me this is the easiest 2nd job advance in the game. The Cygnus advancement is easier than the Adventurers but this is way easier. Then again the pirate job advance is rather simple so maybe that should win the title.

Anyway once you have all 30 just head back and talk to the NPC. You will get a little Cut Scene. After that you will find yourself back in the cave. I tried this out but never filmed it. You can go back through the portal and into that map again but Im not sure why you would really want or need to. Just make your way back to town now. The hard part is over.

When back in town make your way over to Mach. talk to him and you will advance into 2nd job. The little skill preview image also pops up again. You will be given a new medal which Adds 100 Hp and Mp but this time they are rather useless thanks to the combo medals that I showed in a previous video.

Like the first job Advance you are only given 2 skills, you must complete quests in order to unlock the rest. I put my first point into Triple Swing, this is performed by pressing the attack key 3 times. The other skill you receive is body pressure.

Historia młodego smoka, który czekał na bohatera…
Był sobie zwykły chłopak, mieszający niedaleko wioski Henesys.
Odkrył jajo smoka, które zobaczył we śnie.
I tak zaczyna się historia Mistrza Smoków (Dragon Master).
Na początku, Evan oraz smok nic nie wiedzieli.
Ale wraz z wzrostem młodego smoka, siła Evana zaczęła się powiększać.

Plusy:
Jest kombinacją ataków ataków typu: Fire, Ice oraz Lightning.
Pozwala to graczowi trenować na mapkach odpowiednich dla Fire Mage oraz Ice Mage.
Minusy:
W przeciwieństwie do Priestowego Bahamutha, smok Evana atakuje tylko w stronę, w którą zwrócony jest gracz. Tak więc jeśli Twoja twarz spogląda na lewo, smok nie zaatakuje potworów na prawo.

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes es un juego de aventuras en primera persona desarrollado por Retro Studios y distribuido por Nintendo. Fué lanzado el 15 de Noviembre de 2004 en Estados Unidos, el 16 de Mayo de 2005 en Japón y el 26 de Noviembre de 2005 en Europa para la consola Nintendo Game Cube, y recientemente una versión para Wii. Es el segundo juego de la trilogía Prime de la saga Metroid.

Argumento

El juego transcurre seis meses después de los acontecimientos ocurridos en Metroid Prime. La cazarrecompensas Samus Aran ha sido contratada por la Federación Galáctica para investigar la desaparición de una nave tripulada de la federación en el planeta Éter y prestarles ayuda si es necesario. En Éter se encontrará desde sus enemigos naturales, los Piratas Espaciales, una raza alienígena: los Luminarios, que le piden ayuda para derrotar a sus antagonistas, los Oscuros (provenientes de la versión oscura de Éter: Éter Oscuro, nacido de una colisión de un meteorito de Phazon contra Éter), y también se encontrará con su versión oscura: Samus Oscura que es como Samus pero con mejores armas que la original.

Jugabilidad

La jugabilidad es la misma que la del primer Metroid Prime, Echoes es un juego de aventuras, exploración y plataformas en primera persona dejando en un segundo plano los combates. La cámara de situa dentro del casco de Samus donde se visualizan el radar, un mapa tridimensional de la zona, un medidor de peligro, los visores, misiles y munición de rayo disponibles. Se progresa en el juego cuando consigues nuevas armas y habilidades recorriendo el planeta y derrotando a los jefes que aguarden algunas de ellas.

Regiones

La historia del juego transcurre en Éter, del que existe su versión oscura, por lo tanto todas las regiones de Éter tienen su versión oscura. Las regiones que se visitan son:

Tierras del Templo: Es la región en la que comienzas al principio del juego. Esta región es la que se comunica con todas las demás. Su parte oscura es Tierras del Templo Oscuro.

Yermos de Agón: Es una zona desértica y es la base de operaciones de los Piratas Espaciales. Su parte oscura es Yermos de Agón Oscuro.

Ciénagas de Torvus: Es una zona de habitat acuático donde la mitad del templo está inundado. Su parte oscura es Ciénagas de Torvus Oscuro.

Fortaleza del Santuario: Es una zona de gran tecnología creada por los luminarios para defenderse de los oscuros. Su parte oscura es La Colmena.

Gran Templo: Es donde se encuentra el líder de los luminarios y donde hibernan el resto hasta que desaparezca Éter Oscuro. Su parte oscura es el Templo del Cielo donde se encuentra el líder de los Oscuros (no llega a ser una región).

Inventario

Samus tiene un amplio repertorio de armas y habilidades para progresar en la aventura. Echoes tienes más armas y habilidades que Prime:

Cañon: este puede usar rayos y misiles:

Rayos: está el Rayo Estándar con su combo de recarga al igual que los anteriores juegos de Metroid pero es el único que se repite hay tres rayos nuevos con sus respectivos combos de recarga: Rayo Oscuro, Rayo de Luz y Rayo Aniquilador estos rayos tienen munición limitada la barra de munición de luz, la barra de munición de oscuridad, el Rayo Aniquilador utiliza las dos barras de munición.

Misiles: son los mismos que en Metroid Prime y añaden una nueva habilidad el Localizador capaz de lanzar cinco misiles a la vez.

Morfosfera: las habilidades son las mismas que en Metroid Prime: Bombas, Bombas de Energía, Aracnosfera y Turbosfera.

Trajes: los trajes de Echoes son menos que en Prime: empieza con el Traje Climático, el siguiente es el Traje Oscuro que resiste más a la atmósfera de Éter Oscuro, el siguiente es el Traje de Luz que resiste totalmente la atmósfera de Éter Oscuro.

Visores: Visor de Combate, Visor de Escaneo,Visor Oscuro donde ves cosas ocultas en Éter Oscuro y el Ecovisor.

Dispositivos de movimiento: Botas de Salto Espacial, Módulo Acuático y Salto en Barrena.

Modo Multijugador

Hay dos modos de juego Venganza y Codicia:

En el Modo Venganza simplemente tienes que derrotar al resto de jugadores sin importar las armas que utilices, aunque tambien puedes almacenar armas para luego enfrentarte al otro jugador. Gana el que más veces mate al resto de jugadores.

En el Modo Codicia simplemente tientes que coger más monedas que los demás jugadores para ganar. Puedes vencer a los otros jugadores para quitarles sus monedas o buscar el cofre que se esconde en el escenario.

En este modo pueden jugar hasta cuatro jugadores, hay hasta 6 escenarios distintos (algunos los tienes que desbloquear en el modo historia).

Opinión personal

Es el mejor juego de Nintendo Game Cube, gráficamente inmejorable, escenarios que muestran un mundo en declive pero a la vez maravilloso, cambios drásticos de escenarios; estás en un templo desértico, te vas a otro templo y éste resulta estar lleno de tecnología alienígena. Trae armas totalmente nuevas que tienen que ver con la trama y jefes totalmente nuevos nunca vistos en anteriores entregas de la saga Metroid, y una historia entre dos mundos, dos razas: luz y oscuridad, o sea, Samus y Samus Oscura. Otra obra maestra de Retro Studios. Pero esto no es todo, si no lo has jugado todavía tienes la oportunidad de hacerlo con Metroid Prime Trilogy para Wii. No te arrepentirás.

Lo Mejor

• Vídeos espectaculares hechos con el motor del juego
• Luchas contra los jefes, sobre todo los jefes de templo y Samus Oscura.
• Multijugador, puedes jugar con tus amigos como si todos fuerais Samus.
• Escenarios muy variados, tienes la oportunidad de ver la versión de cada escenario de Éter.
• Historia totalmente nueva, nunca vista en la saga Metroid.

Lo peor

• Se repiten algunas cosas de la versión anterior.

Nota: 9,8

Si tienes la oportunidad de jugar a este juego aprovéchala, no te arrepentirás.

Siguiendo con la temática de mi entrada anterior, hoy voy a escribiros resumidamente la historia de Metroid, una de las mejores series de videojuegos de Nintendo. Espero que os

guste y que comenteis si habeis jugado a algún juego de la serie, o si los conocías anteriormente.

Samus Aran, es una cazarrecompensas a la cual la Federación Galáctica (FG) le encomienda diversas misiones. Los principales enemigos de Samus, son los Metroids y los Piratas espaciales que tratan de aprovecharse del poder de los Metroids. El juego combina las plataformas y el shooter. Los primeros juegos de la serie eran en 2D con un desplazamiento en scroll clásico de  toda la vida. En 2002 con la subserie prime se introdujo el 3D y el juego paso a ser en primera persona. El juego se caracteriza por ser no-lineal (hay veces que te puedes estar mucho tiempo explorando diversos caminos).

El primer juego de Metroid se creó en 1986 (no salió hasta 1988 en Europa) y Samus Aran ha estado en consolas como: NES, Game Boy, Super Nintendo, Game Boy Advance, GameCube, Nintendo DS y Wii. Todos los juegos están ambientados en el mismo universo (a veces incluso se comparan los escenarios con los de la peli Alien) y siguen una historia coherente entre ellos.

Juegos

Esta es la lista de los juegos de la saga Metroid aparecidos hasta la fecha. Son 12 en total, incluyendo Metroid Prime Trilogy (recopilatorio de la saga Prime y el remake del primer juego, Metroid: Zero Mission:

• 1986: Metroid (NES).
• 1991: Metroid II: Return of Samus (Game Boy).
• 1994: Super Metroid (Super Nintendo).
• 2002: Metroid Fusion (Game Boy Advance).
• 2002: Metroid Prime (Nintendo GameCube).
• 2004: Metroid: Zero Mission (Game Boy Advance).
• 2004: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, (Nintendo GameCube).
• 2005: Metroid Prime Pinball (Nintendo DS).
• 2006: Metroid Prime: Hunters (Nintendo DS).
• 2007: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii).
• 2009: Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii).
• 2010: Metroid: Other M (Wii).

  

  El Metroid de 1986

El orden cronológico de los juegos es el siguiente:

• 1.- Metroid / Metroid: Zero Mission
• 2.- Metroid Prime
• 3.- Metroid Prime: Hunters
• 4.- Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
• 5.- Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
• 6.- Metroid II: Return of Samus
• 7.- Super Metroid
• 8.- Metroid: Other M
• 9.- Metroid Fusion

Pues como fan nintendero que soy, no me puedo perder la oportunidad de comprar este juegazo. Desde que conocí Metroid por primera vez. Me engancho visceralmente, es una de las mejores franquicias de Nintendo.

En este disco se recopilan las tres primeras aventuras de Samus Aran (la protagonista) en 3D. Si teneis una Wii, os recomiendo encarecidamente Metroid Prime Trilogy, que además viene en una caja de coleccionista.

¡Un saludo!

P.D.: Nooo, no me han pagado los de nintendo

Super Metroid

Ano: 1994

Plataforma: Super Nintendo (SNES)

Género: Acção/Plataforma

No balneário feminino dos personagens da Nintendo não existem só princesas. Samus Aran, que, afinal de contas, é uma rapariga loiraça. É a personagem principal de uma série cujo nome retrata uns bicharocos verdes com brains vermelhos e que são piores que mosquitos.

Metroid surgiu em 1986 para a velhinha NES, e espantou os fãs porque… porque… a Nintendo decidira criar um franchise em que o personagem principal era um robô amarelo e vermelho. Qual não é o espanto quando a comunidade descobre que…  não é um robô! Passados uns anos sai um segundo jogo para o Game Boy, a preto e branco.

Super Metroid marcou a era SNES, assim como a série Metroid. Era um mecanismo já usado em jogos como Contra, Metal Slug e outros do género. Mas Metroid tinha algo de especial, havia algo de diferente em andar no espaço aos pulinhos e a dar tiros.

A aventura decorre no planeta Zebes, para o qual fugira Ridley, o líder dos Space Pirates (arr!) com uma larva Metroid roubada dos laboratórios que colaboram com Samus Aran. Pelo caminho, a Lara Croft espacial da Nintendo terá que derrotar os líderes dos Space Pirates, incluindo o famoso supramencionado Ridley; por fim, a já conhecida Mãe Cerebral será o inimigo final a abater.

Entre plataformas num planeta com todo o tipo de ambientes e com um mapa vasto, derrotando vários inimigos e andando para frente e para trás em busca do caminho certo, ou do Save Point, quando já está a ficar tarde.  Apanhando pelo caminho, ao estilo de Zelda, vários updates, desde Mísseis mais Hardcore ainda, a diferentes fatos ao poder de andar à velocidade do Sonic.

Isto tudo num ambiente divertido de jogar à noite sozinho no silêncio, acompanhado de músicas que se associam bem a este efeito e outros temas agradáveis e bons para memorizar. Por mais solitário que o planeta Zebes esteja no espaço, a ausência de luz não é problema, os cenários são bastante agradáveis e coloridos (claro, considerando que estamos num planeta longíquo, não no Mushroom Kingdom), não tornando Super Metroid numa experiência monótona, carregada e/ou enfadonha; tornando-se ocasionalmente escura quando deve ser.

Os controlos são intuitivos e em algum tempo se ganha o jeito a eles, apesar de ser mais comum usar o botão A ou B para disparar. No entanto, é de notar que há uma lista relativamente maior de controlos e combinações, sendo estes adaptados aos upgrades adquiridos ao longo da aventura, podendo, no entanto, tornar-se confuso para os mais iniciados.

O jogo rapidamente se tornou um sucesso de vendas, assim como garantiu pontuações invejáveis no mundo da imprensa de videojogos. No entanto, a enorme crescente concorrência ofuscou um pouco a popularidade deste jogo no Japão, vendendo pouco neste mercado, o que levou a um salto de 6 anos sem outro jogo de Metroid (até Metroid Fusion, para o GBA) e fazendo com que a consola seguinte da Nintendo, a Nintendo64 não tivesse nenhum jogo protagonizado por Samus Aran.

Pessoalmente, considero um jogo interessante e divertido de jogar, assim como, caso fiquemos bloqueados ou já o tenhamos completado pela 10ª vez se torne monótono. Quem procura outro tipo de acção num jogo, tanto poderá ou não encontrá-la em Super Metroid. Nada como experimentar. Há uma diferença na jogabilidade e ambiente entre os Metroid 2D e 3D (sendo ambos positivos), mas que vale sempre a pena experimentar. Foi lançado há quase dois anos para a Virtual Console da Wii.

Verfasst von Joe

Die SNES Ära war meine Zeit, ich war noch viel zu jung, Lesen konnte ich noch nicht, aber spielen, das war ohne Weiteres möglich. Was hat ein Kind ohne Lesekenntnisse dann wohl zum Spielen bewegt? Zum einen muss ich sagen, dass damals die (guten) Spiele nahezu perfekt designte 2D-Spiele waren. Zum Anderen hat hier die Musik sehr unterstützende Arbeit geleistet. Man könnte fast sagen, die Themes, die damals begeistert haben, wären heute im orchestralen Format bei weitem nicht so gut.

Weil meine Äuphorie zu 16-Bit Musik der SNES Ära so groß ist und ich bei jedem Theme das ich höre, Gänsehaut bekommen, liste ich einfach mal ein paar Songs mit den zugehörigen Spielen auf. Vielelicht wird der ein oder andere ja auch Erinnerungen an seine ersten Spieleerfahrungen bekommen.

Terranigma

Terranigma ist merkwürdigerweise nach wie vor mein Lieblingsspiel aller Zeiten. Obwohl die Spielmechanik mittlerweile nicht mehr ganz zeitgerecht ist, will ich den Titel nicht von Platz 1 stoßen. Auch musikalisch hat Terranigma vor allem für die GBA Generation vorgelegt. Die wunderschönen Midimelodien sind nach wie vor unabdingbar und geben dem nahezu perfekten Rollenspiel Action/Adventure noch den letzten Kick. Schon wenn der Titelbildschirm erscheint und das Main Theme startet sitz ich erst einmal etwas vor dem Bildschirm und höre zu. Das ist heute nicht anders wie damals.

Als Theme herausgesucht hab ich allerdings das Theme of Zue, dass nach dem gleichnamigen Dschungellevel benannt wurde. Der Magic Moment in diesem Level, man veränderte interaktiv die Vegitation und konnte so auch einzelne Wege frei werden lassen, alles in Form eines gigantischen Levels. Ohne das Theme wäre der Level nur halb so gut, deswegen hier für euch, das Theme of Zue:

Super Mario World

Wer das perfekte Jump and Run sucht, der sollte sich einmal Super Mario World anschauen. Damals war vor allem das originelle Leveldesign ein gigantischer Pluspunkt. Man konnte von einem Level durch geheime Ausgänge teilweise neue Level und damit andere Wege freischalten. Auch dieser Titel macht nur so viel Spaß, weil ein perfekter Soundtrack ihn unterbindet. Hier einmal ein paar Themes von Super Mario World:

Super Metroid

Schon der erste und zweite Teil des Sci-Fi Action Adventures Metroid sorgten durch die unheimlich gruselige Musik für eine authentische und gruselige Stimmung. Teilweise hat man durch die Musik auch Angst vor einzelnen Passagen bekommen. Doch Super Metroid setzt dem Ganzen noch eins drauf und schafft das perfekte Adventure Spielerlebnis. Noch heute träume ich davon, dass irgendwann ein Metroid mit so genialer Musik, so tollem, schlüssigen Leveldesign und einer so perfekten Spielmechanik daherkommt, wie Super Metroid es hatte. Zwar kommen die 3D Teile bis jetzt nahe an das heran, aber übertrumpft wurde dieser Titel noch in keinem Punkt. Hoffnung liegt aber in dem möglicherweise erscheinden Metroid Dread. Deswegen für euch eines der atmosphärischsten Themes: Ambient Silence

Secret of Mana

Ursprünglich für den CD Aufsatz des Super Nintendo’s gedacht, war Secret of Mana eines der größten und auch besten

Spiele auf dem SNES. Die gigantisch-große Spielwelt, die wunderschöne Grafik, die mit Liebe zu Detail kreiert wurde, der sagenhafte Soundtrack. Auch Multiplayertechnisch ein Titel, der gezeigt hat, wie ein Koop Modus aussehen muss. Man konnte nämlich zu dritt spielen.

Als Theme habe ich mir hier Did you See the Ocean ausgesucht, weil hier am besten zum Ausdruck kommt, was der damalige Entwickler Square sich bei diesem Spiel tolles ausgedacht hatte. Kleiner Anhang zuvor: Alle Nachfolger konnten dem Erfolg und der Qualität von Secret of Mana nicht mehr trotzen.

Contra 3/ Super Probotector

Die Contra Reihe haben wir in einer Retro-Perspektive zu genüge beschrieben.

Zum Lesen der Retro-Perspektive auf das Bild klicken

Wer jetzt keine Zeit/Lust auf die gesamte Perspektive hat, dem fasse ich Contra 3 kurz zusammen:

Ein actiongeladenes Run and Gun, dass mit einem hohen Schwierigkeitsgrad, toller Grafik, wahnsinnig guten Explosionen und einem tollen Soundtrack sowie Koop-Modus daherkam.

Als Musikstück hab ich ein Theme ausgesucht, dass mir sehr gut gefällt. Die Rede ist von dem Boss Theme (Invasion):

Wir wissen zwar, dass noch viele andere Titel einen tollen Soundtrack haben, allerdings können wir nicht jeden SNES Titel mit einbeziehen, weil der Artikel ja noch zu lesen sein soll. Jetzt die Frage an euch, welches Spiel mit zugehöriger Musik gefällt euch von der SNES Zeit am besten, was hat euch damals am meisten bewegt? Wir wollen es wissen: Bitte in die Comments oder ins Forum!   jj

With the dates coming closer for Aran and having Cygnus classes released after 3 months ago, I will now respond to the latest class that Nexon has placed trailers about the Aran. (See image below)

After witnessing its techniques and skills, I am not surprised nor shocked about it’s arrival to GMS.

Let me explain what Aran is about. Aran is another class that Nexon released to justify that their main IP won’t die off even its broken gameplay manages to take over the minds of every moron on the planet.

Arans concept: Make a character this time features a character armed with a pole arm that the Dragon Knights failed to master since every Dragon Knight or Dark Knight tends to follow the spear route.

Back in the old days hackers were roaming around, any classes who were pole arm Dragon Knights are ridiculed as hackers because
A) Pole Arm build Dragon Knights do less damage than Spear build Dragon Knights.
B) Pole Arms does more slashing than stabbing animation and
C) Pole Arms are more cheaper due to Snowboards and Surfboards released every bloody event each year.

And Nexon releasing another back story about the Black Magician who fought it blah blah blah blah you already heard it from the bloody Cygnus Knights who also FOUGHT the BLACK MAGICIAN blah blah blah

Ah Screw it. The story they make up goes downhill. After patch 0.79, they now implemented 16 memory bits for quests for Arans pathetic revival. In which it’s implemented on the quests from NPC Cassandra.

But reviewing is Aran is pointless. It’s a rehashed version of failed Dragon Knights and Dark Knights with more combination attacks to unleash more damage. Oh yeah, their level maximum is 200. If you want me to review Aran, tell Nexon to fix their broken gameplay then I’ll reconsider.

Next week: Review of Patch 0.79. I’m too tired to review this Thanksgiving event today.
