==================
2.0 - INTRODUCTION
==================

This walkthrough covers the US version of Dark Cloud 2.  It's a dungeon-crawler
with randomly generated dungeons, similar to the first game.  In my opinion it
surpasses the first game in every way.  You can easily spend two hundred hours,
there's that much extra stuff to do.

One of the most complex aspects of the game is the weapon system.  Please refer
to my Weapon FAQ for more information on weapons.


=================
3.0 - WALKTHROUGH
=================

You'll find a few special tags in the walkthrough sections:

<Story Sequence> is my way of keeping this guide as spoiler-free as possible.
I'll tell you when cut-scenes occur but I won't tell you what happens in those
scenes.  There is a spoiler in the chapter 8 section, but I felt that it was
necessary to keep people from making a big mistake.  See that section for
details.

<Photography Checkpoint> tags give you a way to measure your progress with
photos and inventions.  If you don't have the same scores at those points, then
you may have missed one or more photos.  I'll also mention scoops, ideas, and
inventions when they first become available.

After beginning a new game, your first task is to select an outfit for Max.
You can choose the clothes, hat, and shoes.  Your choice doesn't affect the
gameplay in any way, so just choose whatever you think looks cool.  Later in
the game you will have access to the outfits you didn't choose, and others.

<Story Sequence>

You must fight a short battle against four Griffon Soldiers with Monica.
Blocking with R1 is the key to winning.  Block until the soldiers strike, then
counter with your own attacks.  Blocking is a useful skill in any dungeon so
get a little practice in.  You can also defeat the soldiers with repeated
charge attacks.

<Story Sequence>

Now you'll control Max.  In the Repair Shop, there's a Save Point on the
staircase.  As you walk by the desk, you'll notice a red exclamation point
appear above your head.  This signifies that there's something worth examining.
Your first task is to fix the vacuum.  Go to the back room, and collect the
Notebook from the table, and the Wrench from the dresser.  Return to the vacuum
and choose to fix it.

<Story Sequence>

There is a Save Point next to the circus tent.  Press square when near the
clown and give him your ticket.

<Story Sequence>

Your ticket has been stolen so let's go find the punk who took it.  Move in a
counter-clockwise direction around the plaza, talking to people as you go to
find out where the kid went.

<Story Sequence>

Now that you've got the ticket back, give it to the clown again to enter the
circus.

<Story Sequence>

Max must defeat four Clowns with just his wrench.  Luckily it's a big wrench.
Charge attacks make this battle very easy.  After winning, your wrench will
become a Battle Wrench.

<Story Sequence>
<Credits>
<Story Sequence>

After the credits and crappy theme song you can't skip (where's Simple and
Clean when you need it?) you'll be in a sewer.  There's a Save Point near the
campfire.  Talk to Donny when you are ready to move on.  He will give you your
first gun (Classic Gun) and a Key Item (Help Receiver).

<Story Sequence>

--------------------------------------
3.1 - Chapter 1: To The Outside World!
--------------------------------------

You are about to enter the dungeon for this chapter: Underground Channel.  You
could return to the Channel Entrance and buy stuff from Donny, but it's not
really necessary.  In the dungeons, I suggest picking up every crate/rock.
It's a good way to stock up on Bread and Repair Powder, and they are never
trapped (unlike treasure chests).

The three ideas you need to advance the story are Belt, Milk Can, and Pipe.
Return to Cedric after you've got these ideas, and he'll give you 400 gilda to
buy enough parts to make the Energy Pack.  But you might as well make the
Energy Pack (Barrel) since it's better.  For that you need Barrel, Belt, and
Tree.  You might be a few Rolling Logs short, so either go back to the sewers
and get them from the Sewer Rats, or just build the Energy Pack for now.
Either way, take the pack to Cedric.

<Story Sequence>

Before telling Cedric you're ready, go visit Donny and collect a Diamond.  He
will give you new scoops as well.  Now go back and talk to Cedric.  It's time
for the rematch with Linda.

Talk to the Firbit with the fishing pole, and hand him the Grape Juice.  In
return he'll give you the Fishing Pole and a Mimi, a type of bait.  This is
your chance to do some free fishing, because the dwarf will give you 5x Mimi
whenever you run out of them.  See diabloDAB's Fish FAQ for more info on
fishing.  Right now, all you need to do is catch a Priscleen.

Continue through the swamp until you find Master Utan (a big monkey).

<Story Sequence>

Head back to the big swamp you passed before.

<Story Sequence>

Put a Poison Apple on your Fishing Pole, and get a hit in order to advance the
story.

<Story Sequence>

Take a picture of the big fish before giving him the Priscleen you caught
earlier.

<Story Sequence>

Return to the dwarves by the log.

<Story Sequence>

Now you can head back to Sindain and talk to the Firbits, but you should also
visit Donny to collect a new prize (Bandit Coin).

You can get 100% of the georama in Sindain, even though a couple of the
conditions are still marked with ???.  Here's what I did to solve the georama
(there are other solutions):

Make the following parts:
15x River
 2x Wooden House
 2x Straw House
 1x Cart
 1x Fruit Tree
 7x Thorn Tree (you start with two so this should give you nine total)
 1x Pot
 1x Pot Torch
15x Rough Wooden Fence
 1x Nose Tree
 1x Eye Tree 1
 1x Eye Tree 2
 1x Waterwheel

-Put a Wooden House as close to the entrance as possible, and move Milane in.
 I like it close to the entrance because you'll be visiting her a lot.
-Put all the fence pieces near the Firbit's house.  You do not have to
 completely surround it.
-Put the Nose Tree in between the two Eye Trees, and put them in the back.
-Put a Straw House anywhere, and move Gordon in.
-Put a Straw House anywhere, and move Adel in.
-Put a Wooden House anywhere, put a Cart next to it, and move Polly in.
-Put the trees anywhere
-Put the River pieces anywhere, and put the Waterwheel on the river.
-Put the Pot and Pot Torch near the houses.  If they are near more than one
 house, you'll get extra CP.

Go to a level that has Himarras, such as Frightening Forest.  Transform into a
Himarra and talk to one to receive the Sundrop.

You can get a few more badges now if you want.  Usually these are acquired by
feeding a monster three items it likes.  The three items are of the same type
and must be placed in a Gift Capsule.  You can invent a Gift Capsule, buy them
from Claire, or buy them from the Woody Tailor Shop.  After you throw the Gift
Capsule full of items at a monster, a musical note will appear over its head.
Quickly kill the monster and you'll get the badge.  Some badges are acquired by
killing the monster in a certain way.  You can get these five badges for now:

Badge Type: Beast
Monster:    Sewer Rat
Item:       Gift Capsule with 3x Cheese

Barrel Cannon.  Climb the rope and face the boss.

BOSS: Rainbow Butterfly
SCOOP: R. Butterfly United! (Photo Album, only chance)
Strategy: You can't damage the butterfly.  Attack all the tentacle things in
the center of the plant.  Once you've hit them all, the butterfly will fly to
the center and split into seven smaller butterflies.  With Steve, attack any of
them except the red one.  They will reunite, so get your camera ready for the
scoop.  Just snap several shots as they are coming together and you'll get it.
Attack the tentacles like before.  Now attack them with Steve in this order:
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.  You win.

The future of this chapter (Starlight Temple) is where the power-up items start

T   - Time Gate platform
L   - Lao Chao's Bistro will appear on this platform
W   - Starlight Weapons will appear on this platform
I   - Star Items will appear on this platform
S   - stairs
0   - small platforms in the middle, they are connected by stairs
1-8 - bridges

At the end of the chapter, an upper ring will appear which I haven't shown on
the map.  You can reach the upper level by ascending the large stone ramp that
will appear attached to Platform I.

Most of the power-ups in this chapter require you to have reached certain
floors.  Use the following list as you progress through the dungeon to see what
new power-ups are available.  You only have to enter the floors indicated, you
don't have to actually beat them.  Note that they still have georama
requirements.  You can either look in the georama section, or just make sure
you always build the georama as soon as you can, and you will have the
necessary requirements by the time you reach the given floors.

Little Dragon         - Potato Pie:    Platform I, just after Bridge 1
 Counterattack
Cursed Mask           - nothing
We're the Roly-Poly   - Emerald:       Just left of the time gate when you
 Brothers                              enter
Dragon Slayer         - Pearl:         Plaform W, to the left of the door
Rama Priests Like     - Fruit of Eden: Near the time gate, right next to the
 Cheese                                Sacred Gate
Nature's Threat       - Witch Parfait: Platform L, left of the ramp
Moon Baron            - Fruit of Eden: Platform L, right of the ramp
Lighthouse Appears    - Potato Pie:    Platform L, right wall of Lao Chao's

One power-up item has no level requirement, a Fruit of Eden found on Platform
W, in the corner facing Platform I.  The only requirement is to have the
Crystal Prayer Site built.  But, as described below, you should NOT get this
power-up until later.

I discovered a glitch where it's possible to lose a couple of power-up items
forever.  Basically if you visit the future after finishing Earth-Shaking
Demon, and don't collect the three new Fruit of Edens, two of them will
disappear if you start another floor.  So far this is the only case I've found
where this glitch happens.  But to be on the safe side, you should build your
georama ASAP, and collect the power-up items ASAP, ideally after you complete
each floor.

Another glitch, discovered by RPGMaster and confirmed by Fate of Fantasy, can
cause you to lose a power-up in chapter 6.  If you don't pick up the Fruit of
Eden on Platform W, an extra Fruit of Eden will appear in chapter 6 after you
enter Looking for the Wind Gem.  It won't appear if you pick up the Platform W
fruit.

The georama in Balance Valley is slightly more complicated, because you have 4
platforms the place items on, and they must be kept at the same height in order
for things to happen in the future.  It's not as tough as it sounds.  If you
finish a step, and the platforms are off balance, they will be colored red in
the lower-right corner.  Just redistribute objects until they balance.  You can
do a little georama right now and get some power-ups.  Make the following
parts:

 1x Straw House
 1x Wooden House
 4x Pot Torch
 1x Wooden Gate
15x Thorn Tree

-Put the Straw House on any platform
-Paint the roof Purple
-Move Parn in
-Put the Wooden House on any other platform
-Move Stewart in
-Put the Pot Torches and Wooden Gate near either of the houses
-Distribute all the trees among the platforms so that they balance

You should now have 20 CP, and 20% complete.

Enter Starlight Canyon.

<Story Sequence>

It's time to play Spheda, the golf-like mini-game.  First you need to find a
club.  There's a Handy Stick on the ground underneath the time distortion.  Get
it and talk to Monica, and she'll teach you how to play.  The easiest way to
make this shot is to aim for the star on the rock, and do a full power shot.
If you do it right, the ball will bounce twice, right into the distortion.  If
you fail, don't worry, Monica will take care of business for you.  Either way,
you'll receive the White Windflower from the condor.  From now on, after you
clear the enemies from most dungeon floors, you can play Spheda and win a
prize.

Support Character: Mena
Abilities:         -Heal
                   -Sells clothes for Monica
Recruitment:       Get 10 medals from Spheda after talking to her (must be
                   recruited with Monica).
Location:          Palm Brinks City Hall

Take the White Windflower to Lao Chao, and he'll give you a Miracle Dumpling.
Return to Lin's House, give her the medicine, and she'll join you as a support
character until the end of the chapter.  Note that until she leaves, you can't
switch to any other support characters.  She's also the only support character
who will give you bonuses for armbands.  If you want, you can delay saving her
for a few more floors.

Support Character: Lin
Abilities:         -Gives +1 SP, +1 random elemental stat when leveling-up
                    armbands
Recruitment:       Joins automatically after you give her Miracle Dumpling.
Location:          Lin's House, Balance Valley

If you do choose to save her now, Star Items will appear in the future.

BOSS: Gaspard
Strategy: You must use Monica for this fight.  If you've collected all the
Witch Parfaits thus far, he can't hurt you when you block.  Block twice, then
hit him twice with your sword.  Repeat this pattern until the action switches
to Max.

BOSS: Evil Flames
SCOOP: Flying Battleship (Photo Album, first of 3 chances)
Strategy: Get the Flying Battleship scoop, then just kill the Evil Flames.
They move pretty slowly.  Make sure you kill the ones closest to Lin first.  If
any of them touch her, it's game over.  They are immune to Max's guns, so use
Max's wrench, or a long-range Ridepod weapon if you want it really easy.  Kill
several of them and the action switches back to Monica.

BOSS: Gaspard
Strategy: Same as before, damage him until you switch back to Max.

NOTE: You must get the Cinders idea before destroying the Fire Squall later in
this chapter.  The way to get this idea is to build some georama that is
flammable, leave Heim Rada, and come back to Heim Rada.  You should see a pile
of cinders where the object was.  Take a photo of that.  Some objects which
burn and leave cinders are Straw House, Wooden House, and Shed.  Note that some
objects will burn away but leave no cinders, such as Wooden Fence and Bench.

Make the following items:

 4x Brick House
 2x Brick Chimney
10x Pot
 3x Iron Stand
 1x Windmill

-Arrange the Pots like this:

-Put three of the Brick Houses with their backs to the Pots
-Put the Brick Chimneys on top of two of the houses
-Move Cedric, Borneo, and Gerald into these houses

This area is huge.  The workshop has three floors.  The time gate is on the 1st
floor.  The workshop buildings are on the opposite side from the time gate.
They are sort of U-shaped.  In order to make it easier to describe power-up
item locations, I've divided the buildings into sections:

3rd Floor:  G1 C1 G2 F1 G3 C2 G4 E1 OR OR G5 C3 G6 E2 G7 C4 G8

2nd Floor:  G1 A1 G2 P1 G3 A2 G4 E1 G5 P2 GP A3 G6 E2 G7 A4 G8

A  - Work Arms
C  - Work Cranes
E  - Elevators
F  - Fenced-off areas
G  - Gates
GW - G-WEAPONS
GT - G-TOOLS
GP - G-PARTS
JE - Jump Gate East
JN - Jump Gate North
JW - Jump Gate West
OR - Operations Room
P  - Pillars

For example, on the 1st floor, if you go clockwise from the time gate, you will
eventually come to the first section of the building, which has a large brown
gate.  This is G1.  So the power-ups will be listed according to the sections
they are nearest to.

All of the power-ups in this chapter require you to have reached certain
floors.  Use the following list as you progress through the dungeon to see what
new power-ups are available.  You only have to enter the floors indicated, you
don't have to actually beat them.  Note that they still have georama
requirements.  You can either look in the georama section, or just make sure
you always build the georama as soon as you can, and you will have the
necessary requirements by the time you reach the given floors.

Before approaching the Golden Door, make sure you're ready.  If you've
collected all the power-up items listed in this guide, you should have the
following stats:

End of Chapter Stats
Max: 240 HP, 104 DEF
Monica: 240 HP, 104 DEF

After beating this chapter, the following areas will be inaccessible: Kazarov
Stonehenge, Moon Flower Palace (courtyard, foyer, and dungeon), and all future
areas.  So if you have anything left to get in those areas (photos or power-up
items), make sure you do it before continuing.

All you really need to win the upcoming boss fights is a good Supernova.  If it
has maxed stats, and Dark and Absorb abilities, you won't believe how easy the
fights are.  Take a Buggy with you, and some Resurrection Powders just in case.
The number of shots I list in the following strategies assume a maxed
Supernova.

If your gun isn't so great, make the following preparations:
Equip your Ridepod with Nova Cannon III, Sun & Moon Armor, Triple-Urn Pack, Jet
Hover, and as many Shield Kits as you can afford.  I suggest having a Buggy in
your inventory as well.  Equip Max with two Resurrection Powders and Monica
with one.  Give both of them some Non-Stop Amulets.  Have lots of Mighty
Healing, Cheese, and Premium Chickens.

Approach the door and enter 'Sirus' without the quotes.

<Story Sequence>

BOSS: Emperor Griffon
Strategy:
First Form: Shoot him with your Supernova.  7-8 shots will do it.

<Story Sequence>

Second Form: Shoot him with your Supernova.  7-8 shots will do it.  Use your
             ridepod and circle around him if your gun is too weak.

<Story Sequence>

Third Form: Shoot him with your Supernova.  7-8 shots will do it.  Use Monica's
            charged sword attacks if your gun is too weak.

<Story Sequence>

In between the upcoming boss fights, you have to travel up a needlessly tall
tower.  That's why I suggested bringing a Buggy, since it speeds up the trip a
lot.

BOSS: Mammo
Strategy: Supernova - 2 shots

BOSS: Nightmare
Strategy: Supernova - 2 shots

Strategy: Supernova - 2 shots

BOSS: Uther

Strategy: Supernova - 2 shots each

BOSS: Dark Element
SCOOP:      Legend of the Moon (only chance, photo album)
Inventions: Laser Arm IV - Blue Lantern, Energy Pipe, Legend of the Moon
Strategy: You only have five minutes to win.  Take the scoop of the moon first.
When he's purple, only Monica can damage him.  When he's blue, only Max can
damage him.  10 shots with your Supernova will kill him.  If you see him start
to charge his big attack, use a well-timed charge attack of your own to
survive.

Now you can watch the first ending.  After the credits, make sure you save your
game so that you can play the bonus chapter.


----------------------------------------
3.8 - Chapter 8: The Forgotten Adventure
----------------------------------------

<Story Sequence>

SPOILER: Monica will return to you after you complete the first four levels of
the mines.  I'm telling you this so that you don't think she's gone for good
and sell all the nice weapons you spent building up for her.

Now that you've completed chapter 7, Spheda Practice opens up in the Extras
menu.  Ixion is gone, so Blackstone One is your train again.  Rufio will now
sell all the nice crystals that were previously sold by Star Items.  Morton now
sells gems and most of the coins (very expensive).

Head into Zelmite Mine.
