Panduan untuk Backpaker di India

India adalah salah satu negara dengan kebudayaan paling beragam dan terindah di dunia – campuran akan pantai cantik, ladang padi yang luas, kuil-kuil suci dan kota yang padat. Jalanan kotanya penuh warna, pemandangan alamnya yang menenangkan dan arsitekturnya yang menakjubkan dapat menginspirasi pelancong untuk mencari kebijaksanaan.

Dengan makanan yang murah, warga yang ramah dan ratusan hostel di India, bukan sebuah kejutan jika negara ini merupakan tujuan wajib para backpacker. Tetapi mengunjungi daerah luas seperti ini dapat cukup merepotkan – apakah Anda mulai dengan mendaki Himalaya, mencari liburan pantai bergaya hippie atau menyelami keramaian jalan Mumbai?

Berikut adalah panduan untuk tujuan-tujuan prioritas dari daftar perjalanan para backpacker!

Goa – Lebih dari Surga Hippie


Goa telah menjadi surga bagi para hippie sejak 1960an, ketika para pengelana bohemia berliburan secara hedonistik pada pantai berpasir sepanjang 105 km. Area ini masih terkenal dengan backpackernya, yang kebanyakan meninggalkan jejak hostel-hostel nyaman.

Kebanyakan pengunjung mengincar sinar matahari dan selancar, dan pesta pantai bernuansa trance di bawah bintang. Tetapi Goa masih memiliki potensi lebih dari itu – bekas jajahan Portugis ini memiliki gereja bersejarah, arsitektur menarik dan hidangan kuliner khasnya.

Menjajaki Ketinggian Himalaya


Pemandangan pegunungan dari Himalaya di India utara patut untuk dicoba meskipun Anda takut ketinggian. Pada musim dingin, penyuka ski bergerombol menuju puncak yang tertutup salju, dan pada musim panas para pecinta adrenalin akan mencoba trekking, arung jeram dan paragliding. Anda dapat menggunakan chairlift (elevator kursi) menuju ke puncak menyajikan pemandangan menakjubkan dari salah satu lansekap paling dramatis di India.

Mumbai yang Padat


Mumbai adalah kota yang sangat padat – tampaknya semuanya berjejalan memenuhi kota metropolis yang terus berkembang ini, dari perumahan kumuh sampai gedung pencakar langit dan restoran mewah. Tetapi tempat asal Bollywood yang berkilau ini layak untuk Anda kunjungi, dengan bazaar yang kuno dengan sistem barter, banyak bangunan kolonial yang masih berdiri dan permainan kriket di Oval.

Mungkin Anda tidak ingin berbaur dengan para golongan atas Mumbai di bar dan klub malam elitnya, tetapi selalu ada tempat yang cocok untuk setiap orang, jauh dari pusat keramaian. Pecinta pantai dapat bersantai di Pantai Chowpatty sebelum mengagumi patung Siwa dan kuil yang dipahat dari batu di Pulau Gajah (Elephant Island).

Calcutta yang Penuh Warna


Di luar reputasinya yang berada di bawah garis kemiskinan, Calcutta adalah kota yang mengagumkan dan hidup untuk Anda kunjungi. Rumah dari Bunda Theresa, Calcutta memiliki warisan intelektual dan budaya yang kaya, dan bekas pusat Kerajaan Inggris, terdapat peninggalan arsitektur jaman kolonial, dari Victoria Memorial sampai ke Villa Palladian.

Kota di Calcutta sebelah Utara adalah Bengali, di mana Anda dapat melihat jalanan Shambazar yang sibuk dan dipenuhi oleh kios-kios yang berwarna-warni, gereja tertua dan yang sangat menawan adalah Istana Marmer. Anda dapat melihat gaya kehidupan penduduk setempat di Kuil Kali di Kalighat.

Delhi, Campuran Masa Lalu dan Sekarang


Ibu kota negara ini adalah sebuah campuran memikat antara desa tua dan permukiman ultra modern, dan Anda akan menemukan beberapa reruntuhan menakjubkan di sekitar pusat perbelanjaan dan bioskop di New Delhi. Kunjungilah reruntuhan istana dari abad ke 13 di sepanjang tepi sungai Yamuna, Qtab Minar di sebelah selatan kota dan Huaz untuk peninggalan yang akan membuat Anda terkesima.

Delhi adalah salah satu kota tertua di dunia dan memiliki daftar yang sangat panjang akan lokasi budaya – pastikan Anda mengunjungi Benteng Red Sandstone, Makam Humayun dan Kompleks Masjid dan Menara Qutub, sebuah taman yang sangat indah serta warisan dunia yang diakui UNESCO.

Taj Mahal yang Mengagumkan di Agra


Kota industri ini menarik banyak turis karena Taj Mahalnya yang menakjubkan, yang kemegahannya lebih dari pembicaraan orang. Agra penuh dengan arsitektur mengagumkan lainnya peninggalan kerajaan Mughal, dengan benteng dan makam megah di pinggir sungai, seperti Itimad-ud Daulah yang menyerupai Taj Mahal versi mini

Jika Anda ingin mengunjungi Benteng Agra dan Taj Mahal pada hari yang sama, Anda akan mendapat potongan harga tiket sebanyak Rs 50 – bagus untuk mengikis biaya wisata budaya anda!

Pantai yang Tenang di Kerala


Setelah perjalanan keliling kota yang sibuk, pantai dan perairan tenang di Kerala bisa menjadi perubahan yang menyenangkan. Denyut kehidupan berjalan dengan tenang di pusat India Selatan ini, dan hutan hijau yang lebat penuh dengan kehidupan di dalamnya. Jaringan sungai dan kanal merupakan ciri khas kerala bagi banyak pengunjung, dengan laguna yang mengarah ke ladang padi, rumpunan pohon kelapa dan desa terpencil.

Anda dapat menghabiskan beberapa hari beristirahat pada pasir emasnya, menikmati berperahu menuju kota tradisional atau mengunjungi pedalaman Ghat yang berbukit untuk trekking dan melihat satwa eksotis. Hidangan lokalnya merupakan atraksi tersendiri – makanannya beraroma pala dari tanaman rempah, disajikan di atas daun pisang dan dimakan dengan tangan, dan diakhiri minuman air kelapa.

Nintendo Luncurkan Game 3 Dimensi Pertama di Dunia, Ribuan Orang Antre di Akihabara, Tokyo

TOKYO--Nintendo Co, pabrikan game terbesar di dunia, mulai melepas Nintendo 3DS di Tokyo, Ahad. Nintendo 3DS adalah game dengan tampilan 3D pertama kali di dunia.

Sebanyak dua ribu fans Nintendo mengantre di luar toko Yodobashi Camera Co, di wilayah Akihabara, Tokyo untuk memiliki perangkat game terbaru ini. Mereka sebelumnya sudah memesan lewat internet.

Wakil manajer Yodobashi, Kazuhiro Kashiwagi, mengatakan animo masyarakat terhadap Nintendo 3DS sangat besar. "Sudah ada orang yang mengantre di depan pinto toko sejak Sabtu malam," katanya.

Sembari menunggu, lucunya, para pengantre itu sibuk memainkan game dari perangkat Playstation Portable mereka, atau iPhone dan iPad. Ketiganya adalah saingat berat Nintendo. Bahkan Nintendo mengeluarkan 3DS untuk meraup pangsa pasar yang sudah tergerus oleh ketiga saingan itu.

"Saya sudah punya Nintendo DS dan PSP. Tapi Nintendo 3DS ini gambarnya sangat tajam dan dalam. Saya harus membelinya," katanya Sachiyo Suma yang sudah nongkrong di depan toko sejak pagi. "Saya tak sabar memainkannya," sambung dia.

Angka penjualan di Jepang akan menjadi indikator pertama keberhasilan bisnis Nintendo 3D ini. Bila mungkin, angka penjualannya menembus rekor sebelumnya, Nintendi DS yang laris bak kacang goreng, sebanyak 144 juta unit di seluruh dunia.

Nintendos 3DS memiliki teknologi tiga dimensi yang unik dalam sebuah mesin game. Teknologi itu bisa menampilkan permainan 3D tanpa menggunakan kacamata khusus. Harganya di Amerika Serikat mencapai 250 dolar AS.

Nintendo akan memproduksi sekitar empat juta unit 3DS pada pengapalan bulan pertama. Sejumlah game pertama yang hadir melengkapi perangkat ini adalah “nintendogs + cats,” Street Fighter IV 3D Edition,” “Winning Eleven 3D Soccer.”

Teh Penghilang Lelah

Meluangkan waktu untuk minum secangkir teh sangat bermanfaat untuk meningkatkan kekuatan otak. Tak hanya itu, santai sejenak sambil menyeruput secangkir teh juga bisa mengusir lelah.

Sebelumnya, sebuah studi baru pernah mengungkap bahwa secangkir teh bisa membantu Anda memecahkan teka-teki silang lebih cepat.

Seperti dikutip dari Daily Mail, bahan alami yang ditemukan dalam secangkir teh dapat meningkatkan kekuatan otak dan meningkatkan kewaspadaan. Dan kemudian dilakukan studi untuk mengetahui manfaat teh lebih jauh.

Dari hasil studi ini para peneliti melihat pengaruh bahan kimia kunci yang ditemukan pada teh yang mempengaruhi kinerja mental dari 44 relawan muda.

Efek dari bahan ini, asam amino yang disebut L-theanine yang juga ditemukan dalam teh hijau dan kafein yang biasa ditemukan juga dalam secangkir teh, masing-masing dibandingkan.

Secara signifikan bahan aktif dalam teh meningkatkan akurasi sejumlah tugas para relawan yang minum teh setelah menit 20 dan 70, dibandingkan dengan plasebo. Tak hanya itu, dari penelitian ini kewaspadaan peminum teh juga tinggi.

Teh juga ditemukan bisa mengurangi rasa lelah di antara para sukarelawan terutama pada mereka yang berusia di bawah 40 tahun. Hal ini diungkapkan para peneliti Belanda yang melaporkan temuan mereka dalam jurnal Gizi Neuroscience.

"Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kombinasi dari teh juga membantu untuk memfokuskan perhatian pada tugas kognitif, "kata mereka.

Percobaan sebelumnya telah menunjukkan bahwa menambahkan susu dalam secangkir teh tidak mempengaruhi penyerapan flavonoid atau antioksidan dan juga tidak mengganggu atau pun berefek negatif untuk kesehatan.

Mengonsumsi teh juga bermanfaat menurunkan resiko penyakit jantung, kanker dan parkinson. Penelitian lain menunjukkan minum teh secara teratur selama sepuluh tahun atau lebih dapat membantu meningkatkan kepadatan tulang.

Situs Warisan Dunia UNESCO Terbaru

Inilah enam Situs Warisan Dunia terbaru menurut UNESCO yang ada di Asia Pasifik.

Australia


Pemerintah Inggris membangun penjara-penjara ini pada akhir abad 18 dan 19. Beberapa situs tersebut mengingatkan Australia pada masa lalu kelam mereka saat banyak orang dari Eropa datang terikat dengan rantai, divonis dengan hukuman 'pemindahan' atas kejahatan seperti pencurian sampai pembunuhan. Dari 11 situs yang terdaftar oleh UNESCO, lima ada di Tasmania, termasuk Port Arthur, yang berfungsi sebagai institusi penghukuman sampai 1877.

Cina

Terletak di Provinsi Henan, Monumen Bersejarah Dengfeng tersebar di sekitar Gunung Song, pusat pemujaan agama Tao. Ada 13 struktur bangunan dan situs kuno, termasuk Kuil Shaolin, tempat lahirnya Buddhisme Zen dan kung fu; Akademi Songyang, salah satu pusat pembelajaran tertua di Cina; dan Kuil Songyue, tempat berdirinya pagoda bata tertua di Cina.

India


Jantar Mantar di Jaipur adalah observatorium bersejarah terbesar dan tertua yang ada di India. Keseluruhan bangunan ini terbuat dari batu lokal dan marmer. Dibangun pada awal 1700 oleh Maharaja Jai Singh II, peralatan di situs ini mengukur dan memprediksi peristiwa-peristiwa astronomi dengan ketepatan luar biasa. Yang paling menarik adalah Samrat Yantra, jam matahari setinggi 27 meter (masih akurat sampai dua detik) dan dua cekungan yang memungkinkan pengamat mengikuti pergerakan bulan.





Korea Selatan


Desa Hahoe dan Yangdong, keduanya di Provinsi Gyeongsang Utara, terpilih sebagai perwakilan utama budaya klan bersejarah di Korea. Rumah-rumah para kaum aristokrat yang terjaga dengan baik dan tertata, ruang belajar, dan akademi-akademi mencerminkan budaya Konfusius dari Dinasti Joseon; keindahan gunung-gunung yang mengelilinginya, padang rumput dan sungai yang menginspirasi banyak ode oleh para penyair dari abad 17 dan 18. Tradisi tarian topeng masih hidup sampai sekarang sejak 500 tahun lalu.

Sri Lanka

Terletak 2500 mdpl, kawasan Dataran Tengah terpilih sebagai Situs Warisan Dunia UNESCO ke-delapan dari Sri Lanka karena nilai ekologisnya. Daerah pegunungan itu, yang meliputi tiga kawasan lindung, memiliki ekosistem unik. Pohon-pohonnya yang melingkar dan 'cebol' berbeda dari ketinggian pepohonan di hutan dataran rendah di sekitarnya. Hutan pegunungan ini menyimpan kekayaan flora dan fauna, termasuk mamalia yang nyaris punah, seperti langur (monyet kecil) berwajah ungu, loris Dataran Horton, dan leopard Sri Lanka.

Vietnam


Dibangun oleh Dinasti Ly pada abad 11, Benteng Kekaisaran Thang Long adalah pusat pemerintahan Vietnam selama 800 tahun. Benteng ini kemudian dibangun ulang oleh dinasti-dinasti penerusnya, dan diambil alih oleh Prancis pada 1888 yang kemudian menambahkan banyak bangunan pra-kolonial. Pada 2002, saat penggalian untuk pembangunan gedung parlemen yang baru, ditemukan 11 fondasi istana, sekitar 4 meter di bawah permukaan tanah, sisa-sisa pengadilan Dinasti Ly. Penggalian situs arkeologis yang masih terus berlanjut ini diprediksi sebagai yang terbesar di sejarah Asia Tenggara.

Jerawat di Lokasi Tersembunyi

Jerawat bukan hanya bisa tumbuh di area wajah, tetapi juga di seluruh bagian tubuh termasuk payudara. Itu karena jerawat bisa muncul ketika minyak menyumbat folikel bulu.

"Bagian payudara terdapat kelenjar minyak sebanyak di area wajah. Folikel bulu halus di area tersebut juga bisa tersumbat, terutama ketika cuaca panas dan tubuh berkeringat," kata Arielle Kauvar, ahli kulit asal New York, seperti dikutip dari Modernmom.com.

Untuk mencegah tumbuhnya jerawat pada area payudara, pastikan Anda mandi dengan teratur dan bersihkan payudara dengan teliti. Saat berkeringat dan bra terasa basah, segera ganti bra dengan yang baru. Hal terpenting adalah Anda harus menjaga payudara selalu dalam keadaan kering.

Gunakan juga pelembab ringan yang mengandung antioksidan untuk mencegah jerawat dan timbulnya kerutan di bagian belahan payudara. Sebagai perawatan, bersihkan payudara dengan cairan pembersih yang mengandung asam salisilat, mentimum atau azulene. Bahan tersebut bisa menjaga pori-pori tetap bersih dan mencegah minyak berlebih.

Mengenakan atasan dan bra berbahan katun, terutama ketika cuaca panas atau saat berolahraga juga bisa jadi solusi untuk mencegah timbulnya jerawat di payudara. Bahan kantun memang cukup nyaman digunakan dan bisa menyerap keringat dengan mudah.

Untuk mengatasi jerawat di area payudara, Anda bisa menggunakan krim obat jerawat yang mengandung benzoil peroksida 5 persen. Formula tersebut berfungsi menyusutkan dan mengeringkan jerawat.

Sebagai langkah pencegahan dan perawatan, gunakan juga masker lumpur khusus untuk payudara. Bukan hanya mencegah timbulnya jerawat, tetapi juga bisa membuat payudara jadi lebih kencang.

Sebagai orang Indonesia, Anda setidaknya punya minimal satu kemeja atau busana batik. Tapi tahukah Anda bagaimana cara mencuci dan menyimpannya? Batik membutuhkan perawatan khusus agar tak cepat rusak. Sebelum terlambat, ayo baca tips ini.

Batik terbuat dari sejenis lilin yang dinamai malam. Pewarnaan alami yang digunakan dalam proses pembuatan batik menyebabkan ia harus dirawat dengan serius.

Banyak orang yang membersihkan busana batik mereka dengan drycleaning, padahal bahan kimia dalam drycleaning akan memudarkan warna asli batik. Kerusakan yang sama dapat ditimbulkan oleh deterjen dalam pembersihan dengan mesin cuci. Bagaimana pun juga, upaya terbaik membersihkan batik adalah dengan membersihkannya dengan tangan.

Gunakanlah sabun dan shampoo dalam air hangat. Hilangkan noda membandel dengan irisan lemon. Untuk mengeringkan batik Anda, gantunglah di tempat yang terlindung sinar matahari dan jangan peras busana batik anda.

Anda bisa mempertahankan pesona warna busana batik dengan menyimpannya dengan seksama. Caranya, lapisi busana batik anda dengan kain katun saat menyetrikanya. Agar warna busana batik tidak bercampur saat disimpan di lemari, lapisi busana batik dengan kertas minyak (jangan gunakan koran karena tinta koran bisa menodai batik), gulung dan gantunglah di lemari baju Anda.

Dengan cara yang tepat dalam membersihkan, mengeringkan, menyetrika, dan menyimpan, busana batik Anda bisa tahan lama dan awet keindahannya. Kini, Anda pun bisa menganggap busana-busana Anda sebagai investasi pribadi.

Gua Bawah Tanah yang Dramatis di Okinawa

Pembaca CNNGo Michael Lynch menjelajahi gua-gua purba di Okinawa dan menemukan arus air yang bercahaya, stalaktit dengan warna-warna psikedelik serta botol-botol minuman.



Dengan suhu rata-rata tahunan mencapai 22 derajat Celsius dan lebih dari 2000 mm curah hujan per tahun, pulau Okinawa adalah lokasi yang sangat lembab untuk dikunjungi.

Berselancar angin, berenang, snorkeling, scuba dive, jet ski, dan boating adalah aktivitas populer di sini. Anda yang tidak tertarik dengan aktivitas-aktivitas air, ada lima situs UNESCO yang bisa dikunjungi, serta berbagai festival pada bulan-bulan hangat.

Seperti laiknya pulau-pulau tropis lainnya, akan ada hari-hari hujan atau hari yang sangat panas dan lembab, saat semua pejalan lebih memilih bersembunyi di kamar hotel mereka. Tapi itu bukan liburan!

Maka ikatlah tali sepatu jalan Anda dan kunjungi gua-gua bawah tanah ini...



Gua Gyokusendo

Hanya 10 km dari selatan Bandara Naha, gua ini bisa dicapai dengan bus atau mobil dalam waktu kurang dari satu jam. Gua Gyokusendo adalah sistem gua terbesar kedua yang ditemukan di Jepang dan memiliki jalur sempanjang 800 meter yang bisa dilalui pengunjung.

Gua ini memiliki sungai-sungai kecil, air terjun, stalaktit dan stalagmit yang sudah terbentuk sejak 300 ribu tahun lalu. Gua ini memiliki penerangan yang baik dan sangat memperhatikan keamanan para pengunjung.

Pegangan tangan berbahan metal dan jalur pejalan kaki membuat berjalan sepanjang 800 meter di gua ini mengasyikkan. Tetapi Anda tetap harus waspada. Ada titik-titik yang licin, tempat kelembaban terakumulasi pada tali-tali tambang.

Pendeteksi gerakan akan menyalakan lampu, gua pun hidup dengan warna-warna psikedelik yang terpancar pada lapisan es stalaktit di atas kepala. Gemericik air dari sungai kecil dan air terjun bisa terdengar di sepanjang gua dan, di beberapa tempat, kolam-kolam air itu memancarkan cahaya biru dari lampu-lampu yang dipasang secara strategis di bawah permukaan air.

Meski suasananya damai, menenangkan, dan sunyi, tidak butuh imajinasi lebih untuk membayangkan kemunculan tiba-tiba sesosok monster dari bentuk dan bayangan tak biasa dari bebatuan di gua ini. Para produser film pun pernah menjadikan gua ini sebagai lokasi syuting film Godzilla pada 1974.

Gua Gyokusendo, 9.00-18.30. (November-Maret: 9.00-18.00) ¥1,200 untuk gua and Okinawa World Village. Fasilitas: kamar kecil, toko suvenir, restoran. Parkir: gratis dan tak terbatas. Untuk info lebih lanjut tentang Gua Gyokusendo, kunjungi www.japan-guide.com atau www.okinawa-information.com.



Gua dan Kuil Kin Kannon-do

Kuil Kin (Kannon), yang paling tidak ramah pejalan kaki dari tiga gua yang ada, memberikan kejutan dan sejarah yang unik. Sepatu jalan yang kuat, bukan sandal atau sandal karel, disarankan untuk mencegah terkilir atau jatuh saat menelusuri kedalaman gua.

Pada 1552, misionaris Buddha yang sedang berperjalanan dari Cina ke Jepang, diselamatkan dari kapal karam oleh para penduduk desa Kin dari taifun. Saat tinggal di sana, ia mendirikan Kuil Kin. Patung emas Buddha yang disumbangkan oleh misionaris itu duduk tersenyum di dalam gua.

Jalan turun menuju gua ini cukup curam, pegangan tangan disediakan di sepanjang tangga tapi tak lama sampai para pengunjung sampai di permukaan yang rata. Meski kering pun, jalan-jalan di gua ini bisa licin.

Sepanjang jalan, pengunjung bisa melihat hio yang dibakar dan ada persembahan-persembahan, menandakan pemujaan pada titik-titik sakral. Setelah Anda sampai pada permukaan tanah yang cukup datar, ada banyak keunikan-keunikan yang bisa dilihat.

Ada ribuan botol Tatsu Awamori (Sake khas Okinawa) berukuran 1,8 liter yang sengaja disimpan dan didinginkan di sejuknya kedalaman gua. Para pengunjung membayar ¥10 ribu per botol untuk menyimpan di rak-rak kayu yang berjejer di belakang gua selama 5 sampai 10 tahun.

Botol-botol ini akan diberi label nama pemiliknya dan tanggal mulai disimpan. Beberapa orang bahkan menempelkan foto bayi atau pernikahan, lainnya hanya nama dan tanggal.

Para pemiliknya akan mengambil botol ini pada saat-saat istimewa, seperti kelulusan seorang anak, merayakan anak tumbuh dewasa, atau pesta peringatan tahunan.

Saat saya berjalan kembali ke puncak tangga yang licin, saya berhenti di depan patung Buddha yang tersenyum, seolah tengah menjaga harta karun di bawah dan berpikir, "Ya, saya juga akan tersenyum seperti itu."

Gua dan Kuil Kin Kannon-do, tel. +81 (0)98 968 2438 (Penyulingan Kin), buka tiap hari 9.00-17.00, ¥400. Fasilitas: kamar mandi dan toko suvenir. Parkir: di jalan sekitar dan belakang kuil.

Lima Keajaiban Telur


Di balik kandungan nutrisinya yang kaya, telur berkontribusi meningkatkan kadar kolesterol tubuh. Ini yang kemudian memunculkan anjuran agar tak mengonsumsi telur lebih dari empat kali seminggu.

Berdasar penelitian terbaru di Amerika Serikat, telur merupakan salah satu menu diet sehat yang terbukti selama beberapa dekade terakhir. Telur diklaim bukan sebagai penyebab utama peningkatan kadar kolesterol dalam darah.

Dari studi yang sama diketahui, telur yang diklaim rendah kolesterol justru kaya vitamin D yang berperan dalam pembentukan tulang. Peningkatan kolesterol lebih banyak disebabkan konsumsi lemak trans.

Ahli gizi Amanda Ursell mengungkap, sarapan telur rebus atau poach sebelum anak berangkat sekolah bermanfaat bagi energi dan kecerdasan. Janin juga memiliki IQ lebih tinggi bila calon ibu secara rutin mengasup dua butir telur setiap hari.

Berikut lima manfaat utama telur:

1. Cepat memberi rasa kenyang

Makan telur saat sarapan membantu Anda menurunkan berat badan secara signifikan dengan memotong asupan kalori harian. Makanan kaya protein membuat telur lebih lama dicerna di perut.

Peneliti di Pusat Obesitas Rochester Amerika Serikat menemukan bahwa wanita yang mengkonsumsi dua telur rebus untuk sarapan pergi, makan 400 kalori lebih sedikit selama sisa hari dibandingkan sarapan roti.

2. Mengencerkan otak

Dua telur dengan kandungan 550 miligram kolin setiap hari selama kehamilan akan membantu perkembangan otak janin dan menghasilkan ingatan tajam pada anak. Kolin juga penting untuk memori. Sumber kolin lain termasuk kacang kedelai, ayam dan salmon.

3. Mengurangi risiko kebutaan karena usia

Lutein yang ada di telur membantu meningkatkan kesehatan mata dan mengurangi risiko kebutaan yang berkaitan dengan usia.

4. Mengandung asam lemak omega 3

Lemak ini sangat penting untuk pengembangan mata dan pendengaran pada anak-anak dan fungsi otak sepanjang hidup. Asam esensial juga membantu menjaga sirkulasi dan menurunkan risiko penyakit jantung. Telur dengan omega 3 juga memiliki lebih sedikit lemak jenuh.

5. Kaya Protein

Sebutir telur memiliki 8 gram protein, nutrisi yang sangat penting untuk menjaga kulit tetap kencang dan membentuk otot yang kuat. Wanita membutuhkan 45 gram protein sehari dan pria membutuhkan 55 gram atau sekitar 2-3 butir.

Waktu Terbaik Bercinta

Otak memiliki ritme kerja teratur yang dipengaruhi jam biologis, pola tidur, sensitivitas cahaya, dan faktor keturunan. Ini seringkali membuat kondisi otak tak sesuai dengan aktivitas yang tengah dijalani.

Menyelaraskan aktivitas sehari-hari dengan ritme kerja otak pun menjadi penting demi mengoptimalkan kualitas hidup. Tak hanya menyehatkan, tapi juga membuat tubuh bugar, lebih berenergi dan tidak stres. Ini bukan hal aneh karena sistem tubuh diatur di otak.

Berikut ritme kerja otak yang berulang setiap 24 jam, seperti dikutip dari laman Shine:

Pukul 05.00 - 09.00 : Puaskan gairah seksual

"Saat yang paling tepat untuk bercinta adalah ketika Anda bangun tidur," ujar Ilia Karatsoreos, PhD, ahli saraf Universitas Rockefeller. Ini karena produksi hormon cinta atau oksitoksin yang melimpah ketika bangun tidur.

Pereliti asal Inggris telah membuktikan bahwa hormon oksitoksin di pagi hari pada pria akan menurun seiring datangnya siang. Demi kehidupan seksual yang lebih baik dan ikatan emosional lebih kuat, tidak ada salahnya bercinta sebelum memulai aktivitas di luar rumah.

09.00 - 11.00 : Maksimalkan kreativitas

"Pada jam ini, otak memiliki tingkat hormon stres atau kortisol yang rendah, sehingga Anda bisa lebih fokus dalam berpikir," ujar Sung Lee, MD, sekretaris International Brain Education Association.

Menurut penelitian Universitas Michigan, mahasiswa sampai pensiunan memiliki ketajaman berpikir yang sama di pagi hari, namun akan berkurang di sore hari. "Pada umur produktif, Anda akan lebih fokus di pagi hari," ujar Carolyn Yoon, PhD, salah satu peneliti.

Anda dapat memaksimalkan kerja otak Anda dengan membangung ide-ide baru, membuat presentasi, atau memecahkan suatu masalah, pada periode waktu ini.

11.00 - 14.00 : Selesaikan pekerjaan

Saat ini terjadi penurunan level hormon melatonin, hormon yang menyebabkan rasa kantuk. Artinya, Anda dapat mengerjakan banyak proyek. Para peneliti asal Jerman menemukan bahwa manusia dapat

melakukan banyak pekerjaan di siang hari.

Namun, kerjakan satu per satu tugas Anda. Jangan biarkan Anda tersesat dalam tumpukan tugas yang belum terselesaikan. Sebab, ini dapat mengakibatkan kebingungan pada otak dan Anda pun akan

kehilangan konsentrasi untuk menyelesaikan tugas-tugas Anda.

14.00 - 15.00 : Saatnya istirahat

"Untuk mencerna makanan, tubuh Anda akan mengarahkan aliran darah dari otak ke perut," ujar Sung Lee. Berdasarkan penelitian Unversitas Harvard, Anda akan merasakan kantuk dan malas setelah

makan karena jam biologis Anda berada pada fase terendah.

Lupakan sejenak pekerjaan. Tak harus tidur, Anda dapat membuka akun situs pertemanan atau membaca majalah. Jika Anda diharuskan bekerja, sempatkan sejenak menenggak segelas atau dua gelas air. Ini bisa memaksa perpindahan aliran darah dari perut ke otak. "Air meningkatkan volume darah dan sirkulasi, dan membuat aliran darah menuju otak," ujarnya.

15.00 - 18.00 : Berolahragalah!

"Otak Anda akan mengalami kepanikan saat ini," ujar Paul Nussbaum, PhD, ahli psikologi syaraf dan penulis 'Your Brain Health Lifestyle'. Namun, bukan berarti Anda mengalami stres. Menurut para peneliti Unversitas Michigan, level hormon kortisol pada wanita mengalami penurunan di sore hari.

Berolahraga bisa menjadi pilihan yang tepat karena kekuatan, ketangkasan, dan ketrampilan fisik berada dalam level yang paling tinggi di malam hari. Namun, jika Anda berolahraga terlalu malam, sisa adrenalin akan mengganggu waktu tidur sebagian orang. Pergi ke pusat kebugaran sebelum makan malam adalah pilihan yang tepat.

18.00 - 20.00 : Waktunya santai

Menurut para peneliti, di waktu ini otak memasuki fase yang disebut 'wake maintenance'. Otak memproduksi melatonin, hormon yang mengatur jam biologis manusia. Sisa energi Anda akan digunakan

untuk menstimulasi serotonin, hormon pengendali mood atau semangat. Saat ini adalah waktu yang tepat untuk jalan-jalan, berbincang-bincang ringan dengan suami dan anak Anda, atau mungkin teman Anda.

20.00 - 22.00 : Bersiaplah tidur

Anda akan cepat merasakan kantuk karena melatonin meningkat dengan cepat. Namun di saat yang sama, banyaknya serotonin dalam tubuh mulai menurun. "80 persen dari serotonin terstimulasi oleh sensitivitas cahaya, Anda pun akan merasa lelah," ujar Rubin Naiman, PhD, spesialis tidur dan asisten profesor bidang obat-obatan Universitas Arizona.

Waktunya untuk Anda merasakan kenyamanan dan tidak memikirkan hal-hal yang berat. "Ketika malam tiba, otak Anda akan merasa lelah, saat ini waktu yang paling tepat untuk membawa diri Anda terlelap," ujarnya.

Chocobo Dungeon 2 Codes

Bonus sequence:
Successfully complete the game and allow the credits to finish. Another playable part of the game will begin. Complete the bonus section to view another ending.

Programmers:
Successfully complete the game, then go to the second floor of Auntie Bomb's house. With some luck, you should see some monsters there, who are actually the creators of the game. Note: If they do not appear, try to go in the dungeon and go back a few times.

Hint: Last Summon:
After you have defeated Grass Goth Z and revived the Behemoth's Titan statue, Behemoth will be sitting at the second statue. If you have a Bahamut Magic Stone, he will say that he wants it. Give it to him, return from the dungeon, then go to the statue. You will receive the Ahsura Feather. Now you can also find Ahsura Magic Stones in the dungeon.

Hint: Phoenix Statue:
First, break a Claw or Saddle that gives you the Phoenix Feather (Lite Claw +6 to +9, Reflect +6 or higher, Weak Claw and Saddle +6 to +9). When you hit 0 life, the Phoenix will appear, heal you to full health, and hit the enemies on the field. You will lose the feather and have the statue.

Hint: Defeating Doom:
If you stay on one floor of the dungeon too long, an enemy called Life Keeper will come after you. If you combine two Claws and use a Vampire Essence to get a Claw with Suck Blood, you can kill Doom in a few hits, usually before he can hit you. He is worth 5000 experience so it takes no time to level up.

Hint: Defeating the Shopkeeper:
When you find a shop in the Dungeon, there is a Grim Reaper Shopkeeper who runs it. To kill him, go to settings, set your partner to two player from auto, and just hit him until he dies. Normally you cannot hit him, but your partner can if you control him. Quake spells also affect him, so Chocobo can damage him as well. Note: You still cannot shoplift even after he dies.

Hint: Stealing items from the Shopkeeper:
First, you should have Digging Claws with high durability. Locate the exit, then dig all the way straight from the exit to the shop. You should have the Power Shoot ability to kick the items you want to steal through the exit. Leave the shop. The Shopkeeper will not call you a thief if you did not pick the items. By the time you picked them all, quickly go through the exit, because Doom will catch you immediately. You have now stolen his items without getting captured. Note: Steal items that are high in price.

Fight Black Goblin at the beginning
When you get to the second floor of the first dungeon, you will see a goblin fighting a muz. It will win and turn into a dark goblin. Let Mog get beat up by it and it will turn into a black goblin. You can try to fight it. You need to be at least level 15 or more to win.

Care and Feeding of Claws
Claws are by far the best way to get Feathers, you use them more and lose fewer HP. Save the Elemental Seeds (Wind, Fire, etc) for upgrading your Saddle. When you get claws like the "Flame" "Dwarf" and so forth, even if they are cursed or already +1 or something...un-curse them if you have to, and use a polish card(s) to get them at *least* to +1. Then use them until they break...more often than not you will get a Feather related to the effects of the Claws (Chaos will give you confusion, etc). Use this to help the Golems freshen up the tree in the Village since you can get feathers you lose over again easily.

Get Rahmu Feather
In the restaraunt there is a drunk marlboro in the top left corner, keep on using 7 thunder books on him until he turns back into Rahmu.

Get Titan Feather
Examine the statue in the center of town, after a few times of looking at it you should see Ben there, (a brown behemoth), he should ask you what the statue needs, if you answer by saying "an earthy smell" and come back in a while he'll ask you for a quake book. Come back in a bit and the statue will turn into Titan!

Get Sylph Feather
Go to the beach until you see a treasure chest, take it, keep going back until you see a treasure again, do this 3 times and Sylph will appear giving you the feather.

not answer that. If you would be just so kind to look in the FAQ section which will
explain everything on how to do it, do so. Thank you and please don't bother me

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1.1 - FAQ/Walkthrough News
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.6 is the biggest change for this FAQ/Walkthrough! Enjoy!

As of now, I'm just putting in the other minor details of Chocobo's Dungeon 2. I really
want a complete FAQ/Walkthrough. I'll be glad if you guys help. Don't worry, I won't
steal your information. I promise.

As of now, I've worked on new sections. They include information on merging claws and
saddles. That also includes information on summoned allies. You'll find so much more
in this FAQ/Walkthroug this time. Also, I went through and checked for any typos. I'm
not surprised and I found quite a couple. Well, at least this time, it's not that
embarrassing as that typo I did in the first FAQ/Walkthrough's logo :P.

I'm adding a strategy section that will also grow over time. Anybody that would like to
help out in the strategy section please email me. I'm planning strategies on how to
defeat bosses, enemies, etc. If you've got anything to help out with, please do so...

Speaking of strategy, I'm also adding a Boss Strategy Section (as if I didn't when I made
the FAQ/Walkthrough). This also includes Monster Strategies and General Strategies.
Give the strategy section a visit and help out.

Oh yeah, I put back the GameShark section. I didn't realize that I took it out in
version 1.5 of this FAQ/Walkthrough. I feel like an idiot. :P Well, anyway, there are
some new GameShark codes that I didn't have in the previous version. Now, they're here!

I'm keeping the sections on how to kill Doom and getting Omega Essence separate from the
strategy section since these are oftenly asked and I don't want people to go through the
trouble of having to search for them in the strategy sections.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1.2 - Introduction
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chocobo's Dungeon 2 is a very addictive game once you get use to it. It's very much like
Secret of Mana. However, the battles are turn based. What also makes this game cool is
how two players can play. Chocobo's Dungeon 2 is definitely worth it. There's millions
of items to obtain, thousands of possible weapon/armor combinations to make, and a huge
group of feathers to collect. Without a guide, it would be almost impossible to beat the
game alone (that's why I wrote this guide).

The first time I played Chocobo's Dungeon 2, it seemed like the easiest thing ever until
an hour later. Everything requires patience, skill, and a bunch of items!!! I think that
even with a guide, it would still be hard since all the dungeons are randomly made (yep,
all of them). What's good is there's always a new challenge! Also don't expect me to
write how to get through a dungeon especially since all dungeons are random!

It took me quite a while to beat Chocobo's Dungeon 2 (around 2 weeks but I played almost
12 hours a day). What's also fun is how you can have your partner help you through 2P.
I've nearly played until I had the largest radiation bath ever so I risked this all for
you guys. (Feel proud)

used for the public for free. I give all people the credit who gave me information on
this FAQ including Squaresoft and GameShark. Mwahahaha! You can't sue me now!
Nah-Nah-Nah!!! :-P

Section 1.4 - Story (they gave in the instruction booklet)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once again, Chocobo has decided to embark on a journey with Mog.

Passing through the forests and moving up the coastline, they find an entrance to a
dungeon on a cape with a spectacular view. On the bank across the cove, the companions
see a small, beautiful village.

Although peaceful in appearance, it has been said that there are many impernetrable
buildings, indecipherable ruins, and mysterious dungeons within the Village.

What adventure aways.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1.5 - Controls
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The controls are different from what I expected. However, it's not that bad once you get
used to them. They, however, are a little different from other Final Fantasy RPG's which
usually confuses me after I play one RPG and then switch to this game.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1.6 - Frequently Asked Questions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: How do I play 2 Player?
A: Go to the menu. Go to Settings. You'll see it there.

Q: When I play as a partner, how do I do special attacks?
A: Apparently, I haven't figured this out yet. If anybody finds a way, e-mail me.

Q: How do you pronounce Chocobo?
A: Cho-ko-bo (all long o's)

Q: How do I level up claws or saddles?
A: You can use Polish Cards or just combine them with other claws or saddles.

Q: How do I make claws or saddles?
A: First of all, you need at least two claws or two saddles and a magic book of fire or
lightning (unless you are doing this in the black mage's lab). First, select the two
items you want to combine and then use a fire or lightning book. In the Black Mage's
lab, she'll automatically combine it for you without having to waste any magic books.
Now, you can check the Info on Merging Equipment section.

Q: How do I get feathers?
A: There are many ways of getting feathers. Some you receive by events. Others are
received by breaking equipment.

Q: How do I break equipment?
A: When you check an equipment's stats, look for DUR. If it reaches zero, it breaks. It
usually takes quite a few hits before it breaks.

Q: Are there optional quests?
A: Yes. After you beat the game, wait until the credits are done rolling. You'll see
Chip and a doll appear. There, you can select whether or not you want the optional
quests!

Q: Can I kill Doom? If I can, how?
A: First of all, its not called Doom. That's just its kin name. Yes, you can kill them
but I wouldn't really spend that much time. I've killed him once before (not the easy
one) and it took me well over three hours just trying to damage the dumb thing. If
you really want to know, look it up in the area on how to kill "Doom".

Q: How do I get Omega Essence?
A: There's a section in the FAQ about it. Go there. :)

Q: Do you lose your summon feather if your summon partner dies?
A: Yes. Unless you are using the Random Summon feather.

Q: How do I use Fireball, Blizzard Storm, Thunder Cross, etc.?
A: First, select the appropiate spell book. Then press L1 or R1. You'll then have a
choice to make. To return back to the normal spell casting system, press L1 or R1
again.

Q: How do I get Mog (as a partner) to steal?
A: First of all, you'll need to have room in your inventory. Then, just bring Mog up
to an enemy and he'll do it himself.

Q: What does the Tree of Life do?
A: Eats up feathers for good! I personally hate that thing! All you ever get back is
a couple of nuts. People say you get feathers back but I don't know. All who think
the Tree of Life is pointless, go cheer! (((CHEERS!)))

Q: How do I find good equipment?
A: If you mean that it is lying around, probably not. If you mean that it is stolen,
yes. The best way to find good equipment is to probably steal it by using Mog.

Q: It's so easy to kill Doom when he's in the shop, why is he so hard when I fight him
out of the treasure chest or when he starts chasing me?
A: The version you fought in the shop is the easier version which only has 3,200 HP so
only a few a Bahamut or Odin Stones can kill him easily. As for the others, they
have 30,000+ HP so... that will take some more time especially if your attacks only
1 to 3 HP of damage.

Q: What's the point of the bonus dungeons?
A: If you manage to complete one, you get a feather. If you complete all of them and
then fight Leviathan, you'll get a secret ending plus something special to put in
your town.

Q: Where do I find Chip?
A: Chip's found in the Chubby Chocobo's shortcut area. Make sure you bring two of the
Teleport Tags: one for him and one for you.

Q: What does the Phoenix Feather do?
A: The Phoenix Feather saves your butt when you are about to die. It does so
automatically and you can't do it manually.

Q: What does the Critical UP Feather do?
A: The Critical UP Feather increases your chances of getting a Critical Hit.

Q: Where is Omega at?
A: Omega is located on the 24th floor of the secret dungeon. Good luck trying to beat
it!

Q: What's in place for the empty statue in the last room in the basement?
A: I have no clue whatsoever! I've cleared all the monsters, used all the summon stones,
and defeated all the bosses (including all three Dooms). However, there's still one
extra space. I'm guessing it's the original space for the Phoenix Stone. The Phoenix
Stone, I believe, is a dummied item. However, it still works. Zeroxomegax@aol.com
has told me about the Phoenix Stone. As of now, I'm not putting it in the FAQ since
the item isn't supposed to exist.

Q: What is the Phoenix Stone supposed to do?
A: You can't use it manually like the Phoenix feather but it acts like the Phoenix
feather. When you are about to die, Phoenix is automatically summoned and takes you
out of the dungeon.

Q: If you summon an ally and he/she dies, will the feather disappear?
A: Yes and I've learned this through personal experience (bye Bahamut). So this is the
reason why you should never let your ally summon die. When your ally is about to die,
talk to him/her and select YES for them to disappear. This way, you'll keep the
feather. However, if you've used the Random Summon feather and the ally dies, the
feather will not disappear.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1.7 - Info on Magic
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This section is detailed on magic for all those who are curious about it.

First of all, there are five types of magic in this game. They are elemental magic (it
consists of Fire, Blizzard, Aero, Thunder, and Earth), Drain magic (consists of Drain),
Cantrip magic (various status effects), Spell magic (consists of powerful focused magic
attacks), and Megaspell magic (which consists the ultimate magic spells that Chocobo can
use in the game). The more simple magics are elemental magic and drain magic. I'll
start there first.

Elemental magic contain Fire, Blizzard, Aero, Thunder, and Earth. These spells are easy
to cast and easy to find. Red books indicate Fire; blue books indicate Blizzard; etc.
Whenever you use an elemental spell book, it disappears from your inventory. But each
time you use one, it also brings you closer to leveling up that spell. The more times
you use a spell, it brings you closer to leveling it up. Once you do level it up, the
spell will become more powerful. Here's a chart that shows how many times you need for
a level up.

To check your current spell levels, go to the Spell Settings section on the Main Menu
screen.

Level | Times Needed to Use
------+--------------------
1 | 3 +--- Once this level is reached, your spells level up
2 | 3 _____ | into another form. For example, Fire becomes Fira,
3 | 4 | / | Blizzard becomes Blizzara, etc. Not only that, the
4 | 4 | /_ | graphics become a lot better too. No more of that
5 | 5 |__ / | cheezy ice cube falling on the enemy. This time,
6 | 5 |/ | your gonna say, "Ouch! Now's that gotta hurt!"
7 | 6 / |
8 | 8 +--------+
9 | 10 <---+
10 | 12
11 | 14 +------------ Just like leveling up to Level 9, the spells level
12 | 16 | up into another form once more. This time, Fira
13 | 18 | becomes Firaga, Blizzara becomes Blizzaga, every
14 | 20 | spell up to this level will have an "aga" at the
15 | 20 | end of it.
16 | 20 |
17 | 20 <---+
18 | 20
19 | 20
20 | 20

Another cool thing about elemental spells is that they can have different targeting
systems rather than the default one. If you have a feather that corresponds to a certain
spell, you can press L1/R1 to switch between the two targeting effects. Plus, you'll see
another graphic, too. Fire spells are accompanied by the Fireball feather, Thunder is
with Thunder Cross, etc. These spells give more of a variety of attacks. Learn how to
use them.

Now, about Drain magic. Drain magic works a bit different than the elemental spells but
works very similar, too. When you use a Drain spell on an enemy, you'll do damage to it,
but you'll also receive an HP recovery equal to the damage you drained, not the remaining
HP the enemy has. This means if you do 100 damage to an enemy with only 50, you will
recover 100 HP instead of just 50. Drain spells don't work on undead monsters, robotic
monsters, and a few bosses, too.

Drain spells, once used, disappear from the item inventory. This is one of the ways that
the Drain spells are similar to the elemental spells. However, another way they are
similar is that they also level up too. They use the same level up system as the chart
for the elemental spells that I've put above.

The Cantrip, Spell, and Megaspell magics all are very similar. However, there quite a
few differences in them which will be very easy to notice. One thing that they all share
(other than the fact that once you use a spell book, it disappears) is that they all come
through the use of feathers. The feathers aren't necessary, but they are if you want to
have a specific effect. For those people who don't like taking gambles, don't select
random cuz most of the time, it's gonna fail and a pot or something will fall on Chocobo
causing damage.

Cantrip magic consists of status effects. These range from Slow to Power UP. Each of
these spells affect all enemies on the screen (not on the map or else these would be the
ultimate spells!). Here's a list of what they do.

------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cantrip | What it does.
------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slow | Makes all enemies slower. This means you'll act twice before they can.
Poison | Poisons enemies. They lose 1 HP each turn. Not that useful...
Sleep | Puts enemies to sleep. Very good when you made a monster call.
Mini | Shrinks the enemies reducing their defense and offense.
Frog | Changes them to frogs which run away.
Confusion | Makes enemies move and attack in random directions.
Silence | Mutes all enemies on the screen and prevents them from casting spells.
Power UP | Random Cantrip spell without fail (meaning falling pot).
Random | Selects a random spell and may fail.

The Spell magics are the more powerful magics of the game. However, these usually focus
on one enemy or ally. Like Cantrip spells, select Random can also fail and you've wasted
a perfectly fine Spell book. Spell magics range from Haste to Bio. Haste is the only
one that affects you and not the enemy.

------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spell | What it does.
------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haste | Gives Chocobo the Haste status.
Remove | The same as kicking Teleport Tags at enemies or Warp Stones.
Gravity | Removes a set amount of HP.
Meteorite | Medium amount of damage done to one enemy.
Doom | Instantly kills target.
Flare | Unelemental focused attack. (I selected this feather from the Head Mage)
Bio | Unelemental attack but also poisons enemy.
Random | Selects a random spell and may fail.

The Megaspell magics are the most powerful spells that Chocobo may cast in the game. The
Megaspell feathers are suggested since you'll fail most of the time if you try Random.
The Head Magician won't give you any Megaspell feathers so break some Claws or Saddles to
get them. It's very easy to get Holy since you'll find lots of Holy Claws and/or Saddles
lying around. Like the other spells, you lose one book when you use the spell. This
also goes for failing too as if you didn't know.

------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Megaspell | What it does.
------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meteor | Unelemental damage that hits all enemies on the screen. Massive damage!
Ultima | Unelemental damage that hits all enemies on the screen. Lots of damage!
Holy | Holy elemental damage that hits one enemy. Powerful but others are better.
Random | Selects a random spell and may fail.

Well, that wraps it up for magic! I hope this section cleared things up a bit. If you
have questions still unanswered, please email me at clydemcbob@yahoo.com

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1.8 - Info on Summons
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summons, what a favorite RPG term. There are two types of summons in the game. Magic
summons and ally summons. Magic summons require a stone to use. Once the stone is used,
it will disappear. Don't worry, you can always find more. But for ally summons, the
ally will stay with you until he/she/it dies. The ally summons require a feather. The
ally summon will only leave by 3 reaons: 1) dies (and you lose the feather, to), 2) you
enter the next dungeon floor, 3) you talk with your ally and force him/her/it to leave.

Summon Stones are oftenly found inside Magic Boxes (the treasure chests that require
magic to open) and inside dungeon shops (the ones Doom operate). Summon Stones are very
hard to find and are very costly too! You'll want to save Summon Stones for bosses, hard
enemies, etc. Usually, if you have a Teleport Box, send a summon back to the storage
where you can use it when you're ready.

Summoned Allies may and may not be as strong as the Summon Stones. But all the damage
total that the summoned ally may do may outset the Summon Stones. Summoned allies are
very powerful and may be much more powerful than you are even with the best claws and
saddles. All allies don't do exactly what you want but they sure help out when you need
it. For instance, Carbuncle doesn't cast Reflect on you when you want him to but he does
so only when you're in deep $#!%. The only problem with the Summoned Ally is that if
he/she/it dies, you lose his/her/its feather. In order to get it back, you must break a
Claw/Saddle again and hope you get that feather. This doesn't apply when you use the
Random Summon feather however.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1.9 - Info on Merging Equipment
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lots of people are having trouble on the making and creation of new Claws and Saddles.
This section is sorta an In-Depht section on making claws and such. Although Shiroma
would have taught you how to merge Claws and/or Saddles, this guide here will help you
out furthur more.

There are a couple of things you'll need to have before you mix equipment.
1) Two Claws or Saddles
2) A stove
3) A Fire or Thunder spellbook (only in dungeons)
4) Nuts or Essences (optional but only to make them stronger)

When you have two claws or saddles, it's time to find a stove. Usually, you'll find a
stove on every two floors but I can't guarantee that. I rather use the one in the
village since you wouldn't need to use any Fire or Thunder spell books. Anyways, when
you've selected your two claws or saddles, go up to the stove and examen it. Select the
items that you want to combine (claws or saddles). If you have any Nuts or Essences to
combine with them, select those if you want to. If you're inside a dungeon, you'll have
to select a Fire or Thunder book. Once you do that, a screen will appear.

In this next screen, there are two patterns that you may follow. Each pattern will be
different unless you used certain Nuts or Essences. For example, your first pattern is
a Wood Claw+1 and an Iron Claw+2, you'll get a Wood Claw+3. Your second pattern would
then be an Iron Claw+2 and a Wood Claw+1, and you'll get an Iron Claw+3. Usually, you'll
want to choose the combination with better stats and such. The stats below tell you what
they have effects they have on the claws/saddles.

ATK = Attack Power - The more the ATK, the more damage you'll do. Some claws will
have different effects. Less HP = More ATK.
DEF = Defense Power - The more the DEF, the less damage you'll receive. Some saddles
have different effects. Less HP = More DEF.
DUR = Durability - How much longer the claw/saddle can take. This can be fixed at
repair shops or Repair Cards.
ENERGY = Energy - This affects Energy deduction. Usually, this isn't too much of
a matter and won't matter at all with the Endure Collar.
Toughness = 'Nuff Said - This shows how many hits the claw/saddle can do/receive before
the DUR goes down 1.
LV Limit = Level Limit - What is the max level of this claw/saddle. Usually, the Titan,
Weak, and King's claws/saddles have high LV Limits.
DODGE = Dodge - States your chances of dodging enemy attacks. You'll want a
higher dodge!
SP DEF = Special DEF - Special Defense. States your defense against enemies' special
abilities. More you have, more protection from magic.
Hit Rate = Hit Rate - States chances of making a direct hit. Lower Hit Rate means
you will miss more often!
Critical = Critical % - Chances of scoring a critical hit. Usually, you'll want more
Hit Rate than Critical.

If you have a claw like a Blitz Claw, it will have the lightning element. However, if
you combine it with a Hurricane Claw (with an air element), you'll lose either the
lightning or the air element. Some people, who want to keep both, will need the help of
either essence or a nut. Generally, I'd used nuts since they are more plentiful and get
you better effects that you'd want. For the example above, you'd need a nut called a
Merge Seed that will let you have both elements. Here's a list of what the nuts/seeds
help you add to your claws.

----------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nut/Seed | What effects...
----------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------
Earth Seed | Adds the Earth element.
Fire Seed | Adds the Fire element.
Fusion Seed | Lets you fuse to abilities.
Holy Seed | Adds the Holy element.
Ice Seed | Adds the Ice element.
Level Seed | Lets you add a level to the claw/saddle.
Lightning Seed | Adds the Thunder element.
Merge Seed | Lets you combine elements.
Remove Seed | Lets you remove elements.
Set Seed | Stats of a particular claw/saddle cannot go down.
Superior Seed | Lets only the best stats be available.
Wind Seed | Adds the Aero element.

For cool combinations, mix the following items together and you'll get some pretty neat
stuff.

----------------+-----------------+-----------------+------------------------------------
Item 1 | Item 2 | Item 3 | Result
----------------+-----------------+-----------------+------------------------------------
Order Claw | Arc Claw | Fusion Seed | Multi Claw (5 way attack!)
Order Claw | Multi Claw | Fusion Seed | SpinKick Claw (8 way attack!!!)
Any Item | Any Item | Lamia Essence | A Brandname item! Now break it!
Any Item | Any item | Omega Essence | You get a Titan item! YAY!
Any Claw | Any Claw | Thief Essence | You get a Claw that steals Gil!

I'm pretty sure I'm missing some other good combinations, too! If you have any, please
let me know and I'll post them up! Email me at clydemcbob@yahoo.com! Thanks!

Section 2.0 - Characters
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Chocobo
Specialty: Kick stones and/or bottles.
Quote: "Wark!"

The courageous main character.

Inquisitive by nature, Chocobo can be reckless. Though claiming to be tough and
unafraid of failure, Chocobo has been known to cry at times.

Chocobo can kick equipped stones or empty bottles. When items are kicked at a
target, they receive the effects of the item or take damage. For example, you kick
a stone at a target, they receive damage. If you kick a Sleep Card at a target,
they fall asleep.

Name: Mog
Specialty: Steal
Quote: "If it's about money, just ask me!"

Chocobo's closest (?) companion.

Mog joins Chocobo in order to travel around the world. Although he may be selfish
at times, Chocobo can usually rely on him.

Mog has the ability to steal items from enemies (YES!). However, you don't know
what you are going to get (DOH!). Even so, Mog can help you get enough treasures
and such. Mog's also a very powerful fighter. I noticed one thing, in the begin-
ning of the game, Mog stole quite a lot. At the end, he didn't steal as much. I
don't know why though.*

*Note: I realized what happened. In the end dungeon, I stocked up fully on items. Oops.

Name: Shiroma
Specialty: Heal
Quote: "You can count on me for white magic!"

A kindhearted White Mage.

This young girl is known to use holy power for healing. Being human, she is
generally distrusted by non-humans.

Shiroma only heals Chocobo if Chocobo's HP is low and when it's coloured yellow.
Don't expect too much healing from her. However, Shiroma's very powerful and can
be an awesome partner. Shiroma's also very important in the plot of the game.

Name: Cid
Specialty: Landmine
Quote: "I don't wanna hear none o'yer complaints about my machines!"

A passionate engineer with dreams of greatness.

A talented, well-known creator, he and his vehicle inventions may assist Chocobo
during the journey.

Cid's slow but powerful. His landmine ability is really good if you use it in a
hallway (heh heh heh). Just make sure that you don't step on it yourself. If
you want Cid to plant a landmine, just turn around and talk to him. He'll place
one right where he is. This is great if an enemy is tailing behind you.

Name: Black Magician
Specialty: Magic
Quote: "Stop by my lab sometime."

An expert in magic attacks who is proud of the quality spells he crafts.

A powerful sorcerer, the Black Magician can wipe out a large number of enemies with
a single stroke.

Although the description above sounds like he joins you, he doesn't. I just took
that right off the manual book. However, you'll be fighting against millions of
Black Mages. However, listen to his quote. The Black Mages in the village are
willing to help you. Give them whatever they need and they'll repay you back with
no harm.

Name: Chubby Chocobo
Specialty: Sell Items
Quote: "I'm hungry!" (I'm not surprised)

A pudgy Chocobo who loves to eat.

He's been called Chubby Chocobo for as long as he can remember. He loves to eat and
hates any form of exercise.

The Chubby Chocobo doesn't join you but does help you out every now and then. For
example, he gives you the key to Cid's tower, sells you items, and breaks the fall
for Chocobo and Cid in a battle with a big dungeon. Like said in his description,
he HATES exercise and that means walking.

Name: Golem
Specialty: Water Trees
Quote: "Small attacks no hurt me. Nope, not at all."

A stone giant created by magic.

A giant monster brought to life in order to protect his party. Since Golem's body
is made of stone, he is extremely strong.

Golem doesn't join you which makes me wonder why Squaresoft placed all these
characters into the manual and stating (or sounding like) they'll join you. The
Golem does protect some tree. Help him out and give up a couple of feathers. The
tree can live and the Golems can give you some items and possibly more feathers.
Golems are also enemies that you'll have to fight against. Don't worry. Even if
they have a huge defense, it usually takes them around two turns to attack.

Name: Behemoth
Specialty: Carve Sculptures
Quote: "You'll regret talking back to ME!"

A giant creature who boasts amazing powers.

Behemoth has a body the size of a mountain with mighty arms full of destructive
power.

There aren't that many good Behemoths in the game. However, there is one that can
make scultptures and you can get feathers from them. This is the only useful known
purpose. However, when you fight Behemoths, prepare for quite a fight. They pack
a lot of HP and can kill!

Name: Goblin
Specialty: Annoy people
Quote: " 'Ere, I'm not like them dungeon geezers!"

Really a lonely monster?

The Goblin loves to play tricks, but when he returns to the Village, he behaves
himself - or so they say.

The Goblin (his name is really Gobly) doesn't play much in the role of the plot but
does get you cool items (like Dragon Essence). However, you'll fight against so
many of these things that it becomes annoying!

Name: Bahamut
Specialty: Breath Weapon
Quote: "......"

The King of the Dragons

A mystical dragon with great powers and fortitude. He only provides aid to those
who have his approval. His presence is shrouded in mystery.

Bahamut (a.k.a. the Keeper of Time) plays a major role in the plot. When you get a
Bahamut summon feather, feel lucky. This guy can "POW" and "BOOM" everywhere. You
don't get Bahamut normally if you go through the game but you do get him as a
feather under certain conditions (there are many).

Name: Mrs. Bomb
Specialty: Self Destruct
Quote: ???

Mrs. Bomb doesn't have any kind of descriptin given from the book. However, she is
really important. Thanks to Mog, you are able to rest and save at her house as
well as Shiroma's. Mrs. Bomb use to raise Shiroma but all the sudden had a change
in attitude.

Name: Kuz
Specialty: Laser Thingy
Quote: ???

Kuz doesn't appear until you've beaten the game through once. When you get the 2nd
adventure, you will be able to use Kuz. He's a freaky doll who has a laser shooting
head (cool!). He's rather weak unless you pair him up with Chocobo.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 3.0 - Basics of a Dungeon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One thing you should know is that each time you enter a dungeon, it's randomly made. If
you think that's a bad thing, think again. It's fun traveling new dungeons each time. A
hard-core RPG player will definitely love it (I do). And in the dungeons, there are many
things and devices.

Saving - How you save depends where you are. When you are in the village, visit either
Mrs. Bomb or Shiroma's house. Just walk up to the bed and you'll be asked if you
want to save or not. However, when you are inside of a dungeon, you'll need an item
called a Memory Tag in order to save. when you save inside a dungeon, you must go
to the next floor in order to receive that option of saving.

Fighting - Fighting in Chocobo's Dungeon 2 is different than any other RPG that most of
you have played. There is a turn based game. You'll have to get use to it. If
you move, enemies move. If you don't move, nothing happens. Also, when you attack,
you attack the direction you are currently facing unless you have some kind of claw.

Magic - Magic in this game is used through books, feathers, and stones. Whenever you
use a magic book, one gets used up. Whenever you use a magic stone, you summon
some kind of creature to attack. Whenever you use some summon feather, you'll get
a magical ally who will help you out.

Traps - Traps get really annoying sometime. They never happen when you expect them to
happen. There are many kinds of traps which I listed out below.

Trap What it does
-------------------- ------------------------------------------------------
Level UP Trap Levels up Chocobo by one level.
Lost-Child Trap Forgets the map.*
Spinning Trap Unequips all equipment and may throw some around.*
Warp Trap Warps Chocobo somewhere else.*
Landmine Landmines blow up and cause damage.
Nest Trap Drops your character to a lower floor.
Spike Trap Causes damage whenever you step on it.*
Sleep Trap Puts you to sleep.*
Frog Trap Makes Chocobo into a frog.
Invisible Trap Makes you invisible.
Confusion Trap Cause temporary confusion.
Poison Trap Poisons Chocobo.*
Attribute Traps Raises or cancels certain attributes (haste or slow).

Note: The ones with * don't disappear after you step on them.

Geysers - You can fill up empty bottles or exchange tonics for others. What you get
is random (I think). When you exchange or fill up a couple of times, the geyser
will run out of water. You can always refill with the geyser with a Geyser Card.

Stoves - You can combine weapons and saddles with this thing! You can either make a
claw or saddle stronger or weaker depending on what you do. All you need to com-
bine a claw or saddle is to have two claws or saddles and have either a fire or
lightning magic book. However, if you certain nuts or essences, you can make a
claw or saddle more powerful and advanced.

Dying - When you die (or faint) in a dungeon, you lose all your items (that's right,
even equipped ones). However, you won't lose Gil, your partner, or your feathers.
Even so, dying can get really annoying.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 4.0 - Tips and Tricks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Kick cards at enemies to see various effects. For example, Poison cards poison enemies
and you might have known that. However, did you know if you kicked an Identify card at
an enemy, it will show its name and current HP? A Rust Card will reduce mechangical
monster's HP by 1/4. A Lost-Child Card makes an enemy scared to fight.
* Warp Stones, Teleport Tags, Warp Cards, and Teleport Boxes may be kicked at enemies to
make them warp somewhere else.
* Divide cards can split Claws and Saddles into two but their stats will be halved.
* Use Rust Cards when you want a Claw or Saddle to break faster so you can get the rare
feather inside.
* When you are in the frog condition, you can attack organic enemies and change them into
frogs as well! And if you are in a watery dungeon, you can move around in the water.
Sometimes you'll find an alternative exit as well!
* When you morph into a monster, you can use that monster's abilities by pressing L1.
Unlike the monster, you don't have to charge up so many turns. Instead, the action
happens immediately.
* Sometimes items and powerful equipment can be found in walls! Make sure you have a map
card to find out where and some Digging claws. Don't use Crash Stones or Nitro since
they have a good chance of blowing up the item (that's right, you can blow up items).
* When you morph into enemies, your movement type will be the same as theirs. If the
enemy could walk in water, you can walk in water. If the enemy can fly, you can fly.
If the enemy hovers, you can hover over traps.
* Amnesia Tonics paralyze targets so they are actually useful for something.
* Empty Bottles always do 4 damage. Power Stones and etc. are random and weak.
* If you want to get a feather from a claw or something, fuse it with an Earth Nut or
Digging Claw to give it the earth attribute. Just make sure when you fuse it, it is
not a Digger Claw and IS what you want it to be. Then, just go and kick through some
walls. It will break without having to go through the trouble of finding enemies and
monsters to kill.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 5.0 - Walkthrough
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Location: Cape Dungeon
Party: Chocobo, Mog
Floors: 6
Enemies: Goblin, Guz, Dark Goblin, Wild Rat, Hedgehog, Nut Eater, Black Mage
Where you go when you die: Outside the dungeon

1F - On the first floor, Mog will introduce to you what a mysterious dungeon is. However,
don't expect the first floor to be a cakewalk. Search around and look for items and
the stairs going down. I would try to get to level 2 by the time I find the stairs
so I think you should, too. Also, try to save up on spells and such.

2F - On the second floor, Mog will notice a Goblin beating the lights out of a Guz and
then level up into a Dark Goblin. Mog suggests that you run away. However, if you
want to duke this guy out, launch some spells at it from a distance. I'd try to get
up to level 3 by now.

4F - When you reach the fourth floor, Chocobo thinks that they're stuck. Mog tells him
that you can move diagonally. Just press down and left at the same time and you'll
move diagonally (Whoa! Really HARD!). Afterwards, I'd try to level up by level 4.

6F - You can't do much here. Chocobo and Mog are automatically controlled. Mog finds a
switch but is too nervous to pull it. Chocobo wanders off and disappears. After
Mog hits the switch, Chocobo goes flying out of the dungeon, and Shiroma will nurse
Chocobo back to health.

Location: Shiroma's House
Party: Chocobo

After Shiroma introduces herself and leaves, you are free to do whatever you want. Make
contact with the bed in order to save. If you examine the bookshelf, you'll get a tonic
which you should name a Nitro Tonic when you get into the dungeon. That's just to give
you and idea what the Tonic is.

Location: Cape Dungeon
Party: Chocobo, Shiroma (but later)
Floors: 10
Enemies: Black Mage, Skeleton, Goblin, Guz, Kuz, Nut Eater, Hedgehog
Where you go when you die: Shiroma's House
Boss: Skullhammer

If you get killed, you can get some items in Shiroma's bookshelf. That's just to let you
know so you don't reenter the dungeon empty handed.

While you are in the dungeon, you might stumble across some bookshelves and such. Go up
to the bookshelves and you'll pick up a spell book. If you find a junk shelf, you can
get some random items.

1F - On the first couple of floors, you'll find yourself pretty familiar with the place.
Just explore around. i'd get up to level 5 by now.

2F - Start saving up on Fire books. Get up to level 6.

3F to 4F - Start collecting some claws and saddles and level up to 7.

5F - When you reach the fifth floor, you'll see a small scene of Shiroma and the Chubby
Chocobo. Shiroma wants to go on while the Chubby Chocobo chickens out (no pun
intended).

6F - You'll meet Shiroma here. If you've gotten any claws or saddles (at least two of
either) and a fire or thunder spell book, Shiroma can teach you how to combine claws
or saddles. Afterwards, she'll join you. If you have a Teleport Tag and you're low
on HP, teleport out now. It's always good to go back out of the dungeon and come
back more leveled up than ever. Level up to 8.

Note: Shiroma has the ability to heal. Whenever you are low on HP (when it's
yellow), Shiroma will heal you. However, don't expect her to do it every time.

10F - On the last floor, you'll meet Skullhammer, the boss of this dungeon. This is a
pretty hard fight. If you've gotten some good claws and saddles, don't worry. If
you have some Fire Books, it's time to use time.

-----------------------
Boss Fight: Skullhammer
-----------------------

Note: Skullhammer is weak against fire.

Skullhammer is quite a tough boss for a first boss. I died three times from this guy so
don't feel bad if you got killed quite a couple of times. Keep attacking him when he's
in his first form. Shiroma will heal you when you lose a lot of HP. Keep using those
Potions on yourself and blasting away with fire spells. When Skullhammer splits into
four parts: the skull, the 2 arms, and the heart, chase after the heart because that's
where Skullhammer will pull himself back together. However, you might receive a lot of
damage if you go around the skull and two arms. When Skullhammer pulls himself back
together, it's time to start attacking again.

Skullhammer can cast Quakara. When you see his ATB is long as heck, pound away while you
still can. When he casts Quakara, it's not a nice thing. Do around 250+ damage and
Skullhammer bites the dust.

11F - You'll see Mog here. He tries to open up the door to the treasure room. Inside,
Mog chases away the Guz and tries to get the treasure. However, the dungeon sinks
and the group is thrown out of the dungeon onto a beach. Oh great, there's goes
Shiroma's house!

Location: Beach
Party: Chocobo, Shiroma, Mog

This is just a short scene. Not much happens here. You learn that everybody's fine and
Mog hasn't gotten the treasure. After that chat is over, leave the beach and head to the
village. You'll be confronted by Mrs. Bomb and her kids.

Location: Village
Party: Chocobo, Shiroma (she leaves though), Mog (he leaves though)
Areas of Interest: Item Shop, Black Mage Lab, Chef le Tonberry's Restaurant, Gamedon's
Storage Shack, Mrs. Bomb's House, The Tree of Life, Beach, Shiroma's House, Ben's
House, Ben's Titan Sculpture

Mog agrees to stay with Mrs. Bomb for a while. When you go to speak with them, you'll
learn that Mog will want to get the treasure but puts the mission into the hands of our
hero. Mrs. Bomb mentions something about Cid and a submarine. However, the gate to
the man's tower is locked.

Go to Shiroma's house after the talking is over. Shiroma will tell you that only one
person has the key: Chubby Chocobo. Well, let's pay Chubby Chocobo in the item shop a
visit.

In the item shop, you'll see that Chubby Chocobo is working in the back. Talk to him
and he'll tell you why he has the key: to get deliver stuff to Cid's tower. He goes to
unlock the gate and becomes exhausted from walking a few feet. Walk diagonally out of
the item shop and explore the village.

--- Black Magic Lab: Talk to everybody here and you'll learn that they each need
something. If you talk to the head magician, he'll give you a feather out of
three: Fireball, Blizzard Storm, or Thunder Cross. If you want to get the feathers
you will have to reply yes to his question.

When you come back with a Cantrip Book, he'll offer some more feathers for the
Cantrip book. Like before, you can only choose one out of the selection: Slow,
Sleep, or Confusion. I would go for Sleep.

When you have a Spell Book, come back and he'll give you one out among five of some
feathers: Gravity, Meteorite, Doom, Flare, or Bio. I took Flare but whatever you
choose should be up to you.

In the magic lab, give Jesse any kind of Essence and give Biggs either a Fire or
Thunder Book. Man, Biggs should of just learned from Shiroma.

--- When you visit the basement of the magic shop, you'll find statues of all the
enemies you've fought.

--- If you visit Chef le Tonberry's restaurant, you'll learn that a drunk Malboro is
keeping all the customers away. Give the Malboro seven Thunder Books to shock it
in order for the Malboro to remember it's real form. Once you use the seven
Thunder Books (whew), you'll get the Ramuh feather! WOO HOO!

Later, Chef le Tonberry will have two new customers: Gobly and Gobbie. Talk to
them both a couple of items. Enter and reenter a couple of times also. When
Gobly is thinking about what he should give Gobbie, give him a summon stone. When
you come back, you learn that it hasn't worked. Chef le Tonberry is going to make
them a dish which can help them out. Give him either a Worm Essence or Octopus
Essence. Come back and Gobly and Gobbie will eat it. A dramatic scene occurs.
When you return, you'll have access to the Juice Bar which is in the upper left
corner of the restaurant.

In the Juice Bar, you'll find Lamy, a Lamia. She's looking for a Plant Essence.
Help her out and give her a Plant Essence. She'll give you a Dragon Essence and
access to the Juke Box which plays all the music in the game.

--- If you visit Ben the sculptor, he'll ask what you think is missing. Say an earthy
smell. Visit some time later and he'll ask for a Quake Book. Give it to him.
When you come back after you visit a dungeon, you'll meet Titan and get the Titan
feather!

When he returns home, he'll need some Crash stones. Give him a Crash Stone or a
Nitro tonic.

Later, Ben will be looking at another sculpture. Give him a Bahamut magic stone
and come back later. You'll get the Asura feather and meet Asura face to face!

--- The Tree of Life needs feathers to continue living. You can give up some or not.
I wouldn't since most of the items you get are nuts and stuff.

--- Buy some space in Gamedon's storage if you have enough. Once you do have enough
and has gone through the sixth floor in Cid's Tower, buy two Teleport Tags. Go
through the shortcut in the item shop and you'll meet Chip. Give him a Telpeort
Tag and when you return to Gamedon's storage, he'll increase the amount of space
to 20 items. Now, Gamedon can repair your claws or saddles for 1500 Gil or 2000.

--- In the item shop, you buy items (Gee). And whenever you reach a certain point in
the current dungeon you're in, a shortcut may appear. You can use the shortcut
to your will.

--- When you collect some items washed up on the beach, there is a counter. When you
have got the last one, a small little friend will meet you. The Sylph will now
join you and give you the Sylph feather!

Location: Cid's Tower
Party: Chocobo, Cid (he joins you later)
Floors: 15
Enemies: Cactus, Clay Golem, Imp, Onion, Roller, Floating Eye, Imp Robo #1, Thug, Thief,
Land Turtle, Gnome, Bomb, Hedgehog, Puppeter, MiniMage, Tonberry Jr.
Where you go when you die: Mrs. Bomb's House
Boss: Imp Robo #55

Unlike the other dungeons, you go up a floor instead of going down a floor in Cid's
Tower. The floors get harder and more confusing. You'll probably want some Crash Stones
and such.

There are strange machines in Cid's Tower. If you light them up with a Thunder Book and
they act as a torch. However, you can only activate them with Thunder Books.

If you run into Bombs (big red fireballs), don't use Nitro or Crash Stones on them or
they will divide into two. No, they can't fuse back.

Since you are able to get Gil now, you can finally buy stuff in dungeon shops which are
managed by Doom.

There are new treasure chests in Cid's Tower and going on. They are the Magic Sealed
Chests and the Thief Chests. To open a Magic Chest, you can either cast the Drain spell
or a specific type of spell. If the spell you choose (other than drain) is used and
you see a reaction like a small fireball, cast fire on the chest and you'll open it.
You'll need to get used to the reactions. However, there are some magic chest that
can only be opened by Thief Keys. Thief Chests requires a Thief Key which is dropped
from a Thief or Thug. In either one of these chests, you get awesome items.

1F to 2F - Level up to 9. Kill as many Cacti as you can to get more Gil.

3F - You'll meet up with Cid. He tells you what happened to his tower. When you see
an Imp climb into a robot vehicle, destroy it before they fuse. Help Cid get rid
of the Imps in the castle. Level up to 10.

4F to 9F - Collect as many items, equipment, etc. as you can. Save up on Thunder Books.
Level up to 15. It's worth it.

10F - There's an exit to the side of this dungeon. You'll appear in a peaceful stop
where you'll meet Bahamut for the first time. He mumbles something about time and
junk. Afterwards, he disappears. Also, you can buy Octopus Essence here for 3000
Gil which you might have gotten fron the cacti. You can give it to Jesse later.
Level up to 16.

11F to 13F - Collect and save up on Thunder Books and Ramuh stones if you have any. Go
and level up to 19.

14F - Cid will introduce you to his tank, the Cidtank. That's what he's going to use
against the boss on the next floor. Save and go up.

15F - You'll see two Imp Robo #1, and a boss robo. Here's the boss battle of the tower.
If you've gotten the Ramuh feather, you're fine. Just let Cid pound away until he's
wasted and then call out Ramuh.

------------------------
Boss Fight: Imp Robo #55
------------------------

Imp Robo #55 and Imp Robos #1 have weakness to lightning so that's why you should've
saved up on those Thunder Books!

Cid should be attacking from the very start. These guys shouldn't be too hard if you
are at level 19. If you are planning to cast spells, stay away from the Imp Robos.
Imp Robo #55 can attack from a long distance so becareful. I'd try to defeat Imp Robo
#55 first and then go after the two #1's. Imp Robo #55 has around 500+ HP meanwhile
his two sidekicks have 400+ each. Don't worry, if things get nasty, pull out Ramuh
and let him beat the nuts and bolts out of the three.

Once you win, Cid will reclaim his tower and the two start heading back to the village
since Chocobo forgot why it was supposed to find Cid. Shiroma reminds it and that
they need a submarine to reach the dungeon. Cid is pleased to use the submarine but
Chocobo makes such a big deal out of it.

Location: Sea Floor Dungeon
Party: Chocobo, Shiroma
Floors: 27
Enemies: Sahagin, Bomb, Puppeteer, Octopus, Land Turtle, Gatlinghog, Lamia, Pudding,
Magic Pot, Mudman, Ogre, Neon Magman, Necromancer, Blood Skeleton, Mummy,
Zombie, Gargoyle, Margoyle
Where you go when you die: Mrs. Bomb's House

1F to 3F - The area is mostly covered with water. Using a Waterwalk Collar will make
traveling easier for you. However, just because you can walk on water doesn't
mean Shiroma can. Level up to 22.
4F to 14F - Gather as many Thunder Books and Drain Books as possible. Level up to
Level 25.
15F - You will be at the stove of the dungeon. Here, you'll find Bahamut waiting for
Shiroma. He warns her that she should go back into her own time. After the
chatting is over, go down to the next floor.
16F to 21F - Start saving up on spells. Make sure you've got some Magic Stones as
well. Anything that is powerful should be saved. Level up to 30. Gather as
many Thunder Books and Drain Books as possible.
22F - You'll meet Bahamut for the second time in this dungeon. You'll learn about
Shiroma's past a little bit more. She was brought from the future in the machine
but monsters took over. This all happened when Shiroma was a baby. Afterwards,
Bahamut leaves Chocobo and Shiroma and it's time to continue on.
23F to 24F - Gather as many Thunder and Drain Books as possible. Level up to 32.
25F - Shiroma takes a while to get a breath. She looks at the ocean view. She talks
about Mog and why Chocobo travels with him.
26F - Level up to 33. Gather as many books as possible. Save and go on.
27F - Meet Ultros! The guy I hated so much in Final Fantasy 6! He's back, thankfully
without Chupon. This is a rather tough fight so prepare yourselves!

------------------
Boss Fight: Ultros
------------------

Ultros has a weakness to Thunder. Be sure that you have anything that hits them hard!

Ultros has three attackable parts: the head and two arms... er, tentacles. Focus all
your attention onto the head. Once the head dies, the tentacles die. The main reason
why you had to stock up on Drain Books is because Ultros loves to cast Drain. By
countering with your Drain attack, Ultros is more likely to lose HP than recover it.
When Ultros is filling up on Drain, hit him with a couple of Thunders. If you can, get
Shiroma close enough to attack. If you need to, summon Ramuh and let him attack.

Magic Stones are also very useful in this battle. They do around 250-300 damage at the
suggested level which is 33. Pound away Ultros and you'll be fine. If you have a
Carbuncle Stone, use it on yourself. You'll be shielded from many attacks. Once the
head is gone, you win.

As you procede into the next room, Shiroma gets kidnapped. However, they can't access
the future yet. When you find Shiroma's pendant, you exit.

You go back to the village and Cid decides to help out Chocobo look for Shiroma. He
reveals that Bahamut had the time to tell him but not the time to help prevent Shiroma's
kidnapping. Either way, Bahamut directed the group to go to the Snow Mountains.
Before you go, stock up on items, save, and then go.

Location: Snow Mountain
Party: Chocobo, Cid
Floors: 23
Enemies: Malboro, Mamon, Toad, Rock Slug, Worm, Giant Bat, Behemoth, Mole, Dark Titan,
Mousse, Elephant, Vulture, Gremlin
Where you go when you die: Mrs. Bomb's House

Try to get the Holy feather if you can. In order to cast Holy, you'll need a MegaSpell
Book. If you can, stock up on them. When you find a Holy Claw, use Polish cards on it
until it is +6 or higher. Then break the claw. You'll have a chance of getting the
Holy Feather. You'll need this feather. Also, save up on Fire Books and Spell Books
(if you have the Flare Feather).

1F to 3F - Fill up your empty bottles in the spring and use a Verify Card to see what
all those items are. You don't want to drink a Nitro Tonic on accident. The
Mamons in the forest occasionally drop Gil when defeated. Always kill them when
you can. You can fatten your wallet this way.
4F to 11F - You'll notice that the terrain and background changes a bit. Don't worry.
This doesn't really mean anything. By the way, the higher the dungeon floor, the
more likely you'll find items hidden in walls. Use your Map Card to figure it
out. Sometimes, you'll see little grey dots outside the dungeon floors. Use a
Diggin Claw or Crash Stone to get near them. If you are using a Crash Stone, be
sure not to blow it up.
12F - You'll learn that Mrs. Bomb was following you. She decides to help clear away
the block of ice that prevents you from continuing. After she tells why she wants
to help Shiroma, he'll blow up the ice and split into two. Now, it's time to go
on. By this floor, you should be level 38.
13F to 16F - Continue collecting spells. You'll notice that the terrain shifts into
ice. The Fire Books work wonders here but save them. That's not why you started
saving in the first place. Level up to 40.
17F - You'll find a small hut here. Inside is a Feast Nut which can refill your Energy
and life.
18F to 22F - You're probably all out of energy by now. Use a couple of Peanuts and
restore that energy! Make sure you've packed plenty of Hi-Potions too! If you
have any Summon Stones at this point, save them too! Level up to 42 at least.
23F - Meet the Glass Goth! He's the big, bad boss of this dungeon. He's pretty hard
to defeat, too! He asks for something you have but you don't know exactly what
it is.

----------------------
Boss Fight: Glass Goth
----------------------

Glass Goth is weak against Fire and Holy. If you are capable of casting those, you're
definitely prepared. It's time to go for it and dish it out!

Let Cid be the head on attacker. If you have a couple of Summon Stones, use it on the
Glass Goth. It will hinder his HP greatly. Afterwards, dish out with Fire, Flare, or
Holy. The Glass Goth has quite a number of strong attacks. If Cid dies and fails you,
summon Ramuh or Asura. Both of these are great powerful attackers. The Glass Goth
has many status spells so be sure to plan your strategies carefully! The Glass Goth
has around 2200+ HP.

Once the Glass Goth disappears, you'll head back into the maze. You receive another
visit from Bahamut and become more clear on Shiroma's background. Bahamut reveals that
the item which the Glass Goth needed was Shiroma's pendant. Chocobo wanders off and
finds Shiroma's image. Shiroma gets from Chocobo her pendant and leaves for the future.
When she disappears, you'll return to the future and get some visits inside Shiroma's
house. Chubby Chocobo comes in. Afterwards, you'll rush to the window and learn that
the sea dungeon is lifted into the air. Chocobo says that it recognizes it. Cid
decides that they should go back to Cid's Tower and get the Cidwind to battle the
dungeon!

Location: Cid's Tower
Party: Chocobo, Cid
Floors: 15
Enemies: Cactuar, Cactus, Golem, Toy Soldier, Gremlin, Drum Roller, Malboro,
Thief, Tonberry, Mini Druid, Imp Robo #55 (not the boss)
Where you go when you die: Mrs. Bomb's House

The good thing about Cid's tower is that it's relatively easy. It's also easy to gain
levels in. Once again, stock up on Thunder Books and have a couple of Ramuh Stones.
By now, the Chubby Chocobo should be selling some Hi-Potions for 200 Gil! Make sure
you have the Asura feather by now. Otherwise, scroll back up and look at the village
events with Ben.

Note: There's a new kind of trap: the nest trap. Whenever you step on it, you go down
a floor. This is advantageous in other dungeons but not in Cid's Tower since you go
up floors.

1F to 3F - Kill the Cactuars to fatten your wallet. If you want, teleport out and buy
some Hi-Potions to aid you on your journey. You might run into a bunch of blue
Imps that are called Gremlins. Don't let them teleport you elsewhere in a dungeon
since it gets really annoying. Level up to 41.
4F to 9F - There's not much here that's new. However, beef up your experience points
and kill some enemies. You'll need it but not for this dungeon. Keep those
Thunder Books rolling and you'll be fine. Level up to 45.
10F - You'll meet Bahamut (again) and you'll talk about Shiroma and the villagers.
After some weird talking, go on.
11F to 13F - Go kill as many things as you can. Once you've saved on the 13th floor,
get ready to rumble! Make sure you are level 47 by now.
14F - You'll see Cid climbing onto his Cidtank again.
15F - You'll meet Imp Robo #99 and two Imp Robo #55's. Like before, the robos are all
weak against thunder so Thunder Books, Ramuh Stones, and Ramuh himself makes good
pancake out of them.

------------------------
Boss Fight: Imp Robo #99
------------------------

Th Imp Robos have weakness to thunder. You'll want to whip their butts this time!

Pack flenty of Thunder Books. If you have the Thunder-Cross feather and the Imp Robos
are lined up, make it a chance to use it. Try to take out #99 first and then go for
#55's. The #99 can attack from a long distance so becareful. #55's can lay bombs on
the ground so go around them. You'll want to get out of a bomb's way before it's ATB
bar is completely red. You can also toast the bombs but I suggest saving the trouble.
Ramuh Stones can damage all the robos if you are positioned correctly. Dealing around
300-400 damage, using the Ramuh Stone is definitely worth it.

If Cid dies, replace him with Ramuh and continue pounding away. Once Robo #99 is gone
go take out the two sidekicks. #99 should have around 2500+ HP and the two sidekicks
should each have around 1000+ HP.

Once you win, you'll see an awesome cinema which I won't mind watching again. The Sea
Floor Dungeon has crashed near the forest and you'll have to go in there yourself to
save Shiroma. When you return to the village, Mog will ask to aid you in the finding
of Shiroma.

Location: Final Dungeon
Party: Chocobo, Mog
Floors: 26
Enemies: Mask, Stone Mask, Mudman, Butcher, Hill Gigas, Badger, King Behemoth, Demon,
Vampire, Malboro Ghoul, Wood Eyes, Garden Slug, Blood Worm, Poison Toad, Mist
Dragon, Shadow Dragon, Spirit Dragon, Grand Mummy, Metal Hitman, Holy Dragon,
Dark Bahamut, Red Dragon, Slimy Slug

Note: You'll meet the powerful dragons of this dungeon above the twenty-second floor.
The best way to defeat them is to stay in a distance and cast magic.

1F to 13F - In the first couple of floors, you'll go through the forest. Unlike some
of the other dungeons, you don't go down stairs in the first couple of floors.
Instead, you go up some entrances (you'll see what I mean). Also, the Wood Eyes
can drop Gil so grab and kill them. Level up to 55. Stock on up as many spells
of any kind as you can.
14F - You'll see the doors to the treasure here. Also, check the left side to get the
treasure chest with a saddle in in. Afterwards, use the stairs on the right side
to go up.
15F to 17F - You'll need to pound your way through these enemies. When you encounter
the slug like things, don't step on the puddles that they made. They'll cast slow
on you which isn't very good in this dungeon. By the way, break through some walls
and look for items. I've found a Gengi's Saddle once. Hopefully, you'll find it
too! By now, you should have high level claws and saddles. I had an Order Claw+25
with every element inside it and I think you should try to get one, too! It really
helps! Once again, get as many spells as you can and level up to 56.
18F - You'll see Bahamut again (again). This time, he adds Mog into the story. You'll
learn that in the beginning, the Guz that Mog chased away in the first dungeon had
became the Glass Goth. When Mog and Chocobo are thrown out of the dungeon, the
Guz returned and was asked a wish. The Guz immediately asked for power. Over the
years, the Guz became the powerful Glass Goth.
19F to 20F - Make sure you have a Memory Tag when you reach the 20F. However, don't
save there yet! Also, avoid the Masks for they can make you forget the names of
the items you had. Also level up to 57!
21F - You'll find the stove again! There should be a chest with a nut. Also, be sure
to save 'cause you'll be fighting some awefully hard enemies!
22F to 25F - You'll find lots of dragons here! Stay away from them or they'll blast
you with their breath. The dragons are best dealt with using magic. However,
don't waste all your magic! Save before you go to the 26th floor. I'd go to level
60 and be prepared as heck!
26F - He's the Glass Goth X! This guy's a nasty boss so prepare yourselves!

------------------------
Boss Fight: Glass Goth X
------------------------

The Glass Goth X is weak against fire and holy. Make sure you've got tons of Fire Books,
Spell Books for Flare, Ifrit Stones, Bahamut Stones, Hi-Potions, X-Potions, and even
other spell books!

Glass Goth X puts a hard battle into place! Becareful of his Jump attack! It's really
powerful and can do 80-100 damage unless you have a good saddle. Let Mog dish out the
attacks while you stay back and unload the Fire and Flare spells one right after the
other. Don't use the Ifrit and Bahamut Stones yet. Use Hi-Potions when you're low on
HP and use X-Potins when you really need them! If you ran out of Thunder books which I
did, use your strongest spells. You'll have to do 4500+ damage in order to kill Glass
Goth X. However, dealing that much doesn't mean you won yet!

------------------------
Boss Fight: Glass Goth Z
------------------------

Glass Goth Z has the same weakness as Glass Goth X so use the same attacking strategy.
However, Glass Goth Z has a Mouth Beam which shoots in a straight line. Well, when you
see his ATB bar go up, get away from the straight line. Continue hitting away with
Fire, Flare, Holy, etc. This time, use Ifrit and Bahamut as much as you can in the
beginning. If you have Carbuncle, use it on yourself to shield yourself from receiving
too much damage.

If Mog bites the dust, summon Ramuh, Asura, Ifrit, or anybody that has high attack
power. It's very important to have a partner in any boss battle. Summon Bahamut and
Ifrit when you can and let him have it. Don't let Glass Goth Z move around too much or
he'll aim the Mouth Beam at you and your partner. Keep an eye on your HP and if you're
low, run off and heal. If you stand in the same place and heal, the Glass Goth Z will
start charging the Mouth Beam or get close enough to attack.

The Glass Goth Z has around 4000+ HP so it's a pretty long fight. Once you win, you
beat the game! Once you do beat the game and finished watching the ending, don't turn
it off yet! Read the following after you've watched the ending.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 5.1 - The Ending
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warning: Contains spoilers!

Chocobo finds Shiroma in the room where Mog was trying to get the treasure. Shiroma hops
onto Chocobo's back and they both make a run for it to get out of the dungeon! Shiroma
falls off Chocobo's back and Chocobo goes tumbling down.

Chocobo then finds itself in Shiroma's house. Cid appears and says he found a little
critter. It's the Guz that Mog chased away! Shiroma appears and tells the Guz that
there's always another chance to start over. The Guz then transfers itself into the doll
that Shiroma has made earlier.

Later that day, Mog is leaving. Shiroma goes running over. Mog tells Shiroma that
Chocobo should stay behind. As Mog starts heading in his own direction, something stops
him. He turns around to see Chocobo behind. The two then start going away. Later that
night, the Guz inside the doll goes looking for Chocobo and Mog. This is the scene where
Chocobo and Mog was sleeping. The doll notices that both of them are asleep so it rests
itself by a tree. This is before the intro in Chocobo's Dungeon 2. Have fun waiting
through the credits!

Believe me, you'll want to wait after the credits are over. That's because there's more
to the game who think Chocobo's Dungeon 2 is so short! Welcome to the hardest part of
the game!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 5.2 - The Second Adventure
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, you can replay each of the dungeons that you've finished before! Each one is harder
than the ones you've played since there are new rules and new stuff. There's even a
secret dungeon!

Before you start, you get to name the doll that was once the Guz. His default name is
Kuz so that's what I'll call him in this FAQ/Walkthrough.

All the dungeons that you've played in the game are accessable now except for the Cape
Dungeon. However, when you enter a certain dungeon, you'll only enter as either Shiroma,
Cid, Mog, or Kuz. And when you enter a dungeon, you'll lose the items you had in hand
and the character you entered the dungeon with has its level dropped to 1. However, this
doesn't affect Chocobo in the secret dungeon.

*COOL NOTE!!!*
Whenever you clear a bonus dungeon, you automatically get a feather whether you have
it or not! The feather you get is random but seems to fall in categories. I,
however, don't know about these categories but you do seem to get certain kinds of
feathers.

Dungeon Who goes Difficulty (out of 5) Feather Category
--------------------- -------------------- --------------------- -----------------------
Sea Floor Dungeon Shiroma 3/5 - Medium Magic Feather
Cid's Tower Cid (duh) 2/5 - Easy Stat/Magic Feather
Snow Mountain Kuz 4/5 - Difficult Summon Feather
Final Dungeon Mog 5/5 - Insane! Stat Feather
Secret Dungeon Chocobo + Partner 3/5 - Medium Random

The secret dungeon's entrance is said to be in the village. Take some time to explore.
When you give up, look below.

Secret Dungeon Entrance: Chubby Chocobo's Workshop (It's what you used as shortcuts
before).

Location: Secret Dungeon
Party: Chocobo, Partner (either Mog, Shiroma, Cid, or Kuz)
Floors: 30
Enemies: Enough
Where you go when you die: Mrs. Bomb's House

10F - You'll run across two Skullhammers here. They're easier to kill than before. A
lot easier! However, you don't have to kill them. The exit is already open.
24F - You'll find Omega on this floor! I suggest running away from it. It can deal
200+ damage in one hit! Also, if you kill it with Empty Bottles, you get the Omega
Essence. However, I'll explain how to do it later.
30F - You'll find Leviathan here who doesn't want to be a boss. Just kill it off and
get the experience points.

---------------------
Boss Fight: Leviathan
---------------------

Don't bother casting ice spells on Leviathan. He's strong against it. Instead, cast
a rarity of Fire attacks including Ifrit.

Leviathan can cast Blizzard and Drain. Becareful! Have some Drain books to counter
Leviathan's Drain. If you decide to engage into physical combat, make sure you have the
Waterwalk Collar plus a good amount of Hi-Potions. Leviathan has a Gnaw attack that
pretty much "hurts" you. Also, Leviathan has two parts, a head and the tail. Don't
worry too much about the tail. If the head goes, so does the tail.

Leviathan can put up a pretty good fight. Make sure you have enough HP to begin with.
After that, make sure you have a good saddle and a good claw if you decide to be physical
about the fight. I suggest turning your partner into Ifrit if you have it. Otherwise,
get your partner close enough to attack Leviathan.

I believe Leviathan has around 6000+ HP for the head (!) and 2000+ HP for the tail (!).
If you have the Fireball feather, use it. Leviathan and its tail is likely to be close
enough to each other so you'll be able to hit two targets at once. I came with around
10 Fire Books the first time and realized that it wasn't enough. The second time, I
came around with 50 and it still wasn't enough! I suggest you pump out those Bahamut,
Asura, and Ifrit Stones at the very start. Then pump out Flare and Fire. This is a
darn hard battle! Stay in the inner land unless you have to go out and fight. Even if
you do, switch to 2 player mode, move your partner up, wack him, and move your partner
back. That ought to do the trick but becareful even still.

If you've beaten all the other dungeons and this one, you'll receive a secret ending
plus a prize in town which I won't spoil for you.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 6.4 - Cards
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are a varity of cards found in Chocobo's Dungeon 2. And most of the time, they
don't seem like good things. However, use this list to figure out what they do.

Card Name Description
---------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------
Identify Identifies one item.
Verify Identifies all items.
Confusion Causes Confusion. (temporary)
Sleep Puts target to sleep. (temporary)
Frog Turns target into a frog. (temporary)
Mini Shrinks target. (temporary)
Doom Calls Doom. (not good)
Geyser Refills springs. (you must be in front of an empty geyser)
Map Displays level map.
Warp Warps target somewhere.
LostChild Makes you forget map. (kick to make target not want to fight)
Divide Causes item to divide.

Dull Degrades equipment. (kick to decrease monster's level)
Repair Raises DUR.
Rust Lowers DUR. (useful for breaking equipment)
Reflect Adds Reflect ability.
Morph Causes item to change. (risky)

You can also kick cards at targets too. For example, a Sleep Card can cause a monster to
fall asleep. A Warp Card can send a target elsewhere. An Identify Card will see what's
the target's name and it's remaining HP.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 6.5 - Nuts
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are a whole bunch of nuts in the game. Most of the time, they're advantageous in
both battle and equipment making. However, there are exceptions.

Nut Description
---------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------
Peanut Restores some Energy. (around 30)
Lasan Restores lots of Energy. (around 100)
Tired Reduces Energy. (around 40)

Superior Seed Useful for combining. (for equipment making)
Set Seed Useful for combining. (for equipment making)

Whew! There goes another list! You can also kick some of the nuts around such as the
Slowpoke seed. Save most of the Merge Seeds and Fusion Seeds. Those tend to be really
useful in the process of making equipment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 6.6 - Misc. Items
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are also items that don't go into really any category so I just placed them into
the Misc. section.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 7.0 - Equipment
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a huge number of equipment on the list. However, I fear that I may be missing
some. If you do find any that I don't, I'll put them in.

There are four things that you may equip. They include Claws (your weapon), Saddles
(your armor), Collars (your accessory), and Stones (your... missiles). Each one of the
claws, saddles, collars, and stones do different effects. That's why they would have to
be told about.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 7.3 - Collars
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The various collars do various things. They could be either advantageous or deadly. It
is hard to find out what a collar does. Because if you equip it, it doesn't say what the
Collar is unless you identify it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 8.4 - Stones, Bottles
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can also equip Stones and Bottles too. Press L1 to kick the equipped Stone or Bottle
that you have.

Item Name: Crash Stone
Description: Kick to break walls
Comment: These become useless once you have the Power Shoot and Drill Shoot Feathers...

Item Name: Empty Bottle

That's about it for the equipment! There's quite a lot of equipment. You just got to
learn how to use it wisely. You don't want to use a Waterwalk Collar in a lava filled
area. That doesn't work!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 8.0 - Equipment Break List for Feathers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whenever you break a Claw or Saddle, you have a chance of getting a really cool feather.
However, sometimes you just don't know what kind of feather you are going to get. If you
break a Claw or Saddle and don't receive any feather, that Claw or Saddle might not be
over level +1 or may be a result of a combination. However, don't rely on the list below
for complete accuracy. To ensure that you get the feather you want, always go a level or
two higher to get a better chance.

Note: This list applies for both claws and saddles. For example, you can the same thing
from a Holy Claw and a Holy Saddle so why bother putting it twice?

Section 10.0 - Monster List
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The monster list can also be found in the basement of the Black Wizard. But for those
who are too lazy or just want to be able to print out the list, look here. I will not
include any quotes for that will take forever to make. However, I might put them up in
the future versions.

F=Fire A=Aero Class = Level of the monster.
I=Ice H=Holy Weakness = Monster's weakness.
L=Lightning N/A=none Strength = Monster's immunity.
E=Earth All=all Abilities = Monster's various abilities.

Section 11.0 - Strategies
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These couple of sections here are for strategies. If you have any strategies that I
don't have and that are really good, send them in. I'll place them here with the credit
that you've helped out. Just send this to clydemcbob@yahoo.com. Sorry, no more of that
funny clydemcbob@aol.com email address. I lost it. :P

Just use this form out below...

Send to: clydemcbob@yahoo.com
Your Name (optional):
Your Email (if you want credit):
Strategy Name: (if for General)
Monster: (if for monsters)
Boss: (if for bosses)
Strategy Category:
And Your Strategy:

Be sure to explain how your strategy works. Thanks!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 11.1 - General Strategies
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This place lists the general strategies inside a dungeon. These don't involve specific
monster strategies or anything. Just regular run-of-the-mill strategies. If you have
any cool general strategies, send them in with the form in the primary strategy section.

Strategy Name: Easy EXP
Creator: Me (clydemcbob@yahoo.com)
And to do it: This is very easy. All you need is a Divide Card. When you found an
enemy that gives you quite a lot of EXP, bring it's HP down a little and kick the
Divide Card at it. It'll split in half but the half will have the exact same number
of HP! But you'll kill both for the same amount of EXP!

Strategy Name: No more Traps!
Creator: Me (clydemcbob@yahoo.com)
And to do it: Whenever you enter a new floor, use Eye Drops. They reveal all the hidden
traps on a floor!
Note: I'm sure many people have discovered this but I found this before I knew others
have discovered it. Sorry.

Send in your strategies! I'll be happy to post them!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 11.2 - Monster Strategies
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This section is dedicated to certain strategies on how to go against certain monsters. I
am sure there are many strategies that I haven't uncovered so send them in! I wouldn't
want to miss out on anything! If you have any strategies, use the form in section 11.0
and send it in to me.

(currently empty now so help out)

Send in your strategies! I'll be happy to post them!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 11.3 - Boss Strategies
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This section is given to all those boss strategies. Unlike other game FAQ's, Chocobo's
Dungeon 2's Boss Strategy section will prove to be useful since you'll most likely face
the bosses again and again. This section will help out all those who are stuck on the
bosses too.

(currently empty now so help out)

Send in your strategies! I'll be happy to post them!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 12.0 - Misc.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the section used for putting down all those "other" stuff. If you didn't find it
in the FAQ/Walkthrough above up to this point, you'll most likely find it down below. If
you don't, e-mail me and I'll answer it for you.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 12.1 - How to Get Omega Essence
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is no laughing matter! Trying to get the Omega Essence is really hard! Here's a
list of items you should have before you come.

Shiroma as a partner.
30+ Thunder Books
20+ Hi-Potions
10+ X-Potions
10+ Haste Tonics
10+ Bahamut Stones
5+ Carbuncle Stones
80+ Empty Bottles
30+ Warp Stones

You're probably thinking WOW once you've looked through the list. However, you shouldn't
need to kill Omega. Having Shiroma as a partner can benefit you since she'll heal.

Here's what you do. As soon as you see Omega, use the Haste Tonic. Afterwards, use
Carbuncle on yourself. Use up your Bahamut Stones. They should do around 5000+ damage
to Omega which leaves around 3000 left. Afterwards, pound away with Thunder Books.
When Haste runs off, use another Haste Tonic. Once Carbuncle is gone, use Carbuncle
again. Shiroma should heal you when you are low on HP. If the Komega's get too annoying,
use the Warp Stones and send them somewhere else. Once Omega has around 50 or less HP
left, start kicking empty bottles. If you are unsure, use Identify Cards and kick them
at Omega to see how much HP is left. Once Omega dies from the Empty Bottle, you'll get
your own Omega Essence which is necessary to get the Titan Claw or Titan Saddle! Whew!

This took over fifteen tries for me! I hope it's better for you!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 12.2 - How to Kill "Doom"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Doom is a very powerful enemy who can be considered a boss. I wouldn't suggest that you
actually try to kill this sucker! It wastes a lot of time, you don't get that much exp.,
you waste a lot of items, etc. This, however, is for all those people who DO have time
and DO have a lot of items.

*Note: There are three different Dooms. The first Doom, which is the easiest to kill,
lies in the dungeon shops. It only has around 3000+ HP and only a few Bahamut or
Odin stones can kill it. However, the other two Dooms are harder with 30000+ HP!
There's quite a difference.

Yes, I have killed Doom before but I wasn't really that happy afterwards. It wasted me
a lot of time and a lot of items.

First of all, you'll need lots of the following.

1) Carbuncle Stones
2) Quake Books (he isn't immune to Quake if you have the Quake All feather)
3) Lots of Spell Books (and the Flare Feather)
4) Lots of Megaspell Books (and the Ultima Feather)
5) Odin Stones, Bahamut Stones, Asura Stones
6) Invisble Tonics
7) Potions, Hi-Potions, X-Potions, Elixirs (lots of them!)
8) Summon Feathers (in case you lose your partner)
9) The Counter Saddle (so Doom will damage himself also)
10) A good Claw
11) Lots of Energy (use Energy Nuts)
12) Lots of HP (use Life Nuts)

Now, here's what you do. First, encounter Doom. Then use a Carbuncle Stone when he gets
near you. Pump out your Summon Stones first! After you do all that, use Spell Books and
MegaSpell Books. If your Carbuncle protection wears off, use another Carbuncle Stone!
If you run out of those, use Invisible Tonics although this may make him run away unless
your partner is there. If your partner dies, use a Summon Feather. Just make sure your
partner doesn't die. When you run out of Spell Books and MegaSpell Books, pump out your
Quake Books with Quake All. If you've really leveled your Quake spells up, they should
do more than enough damage. However, this could last a while. When you run out of Quake
Books (which I did. I had 99 and then had nil), wait until the Carbuncle protection will
wear off. Equip the Counter Saddle and your good claw. Have your partner by your side
attacking Doom. When Doom attacks you with 200+ damage, 50+ damage will be returned back
to Doom! Use your Potions, Hi-Potions to recover this damage. I'd have more than two
Counter Saddles if I were you since some of mine broke. Either that or bring lots of
Repair Cards with you. Eventually (I agree), Doom will die.

Whew!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 12.3 - Secrets
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the Secrets section that I've composed (or reserved for). However, I don't know
that many secrets. If you do have any, please send them in. Please don't send rumors
because I'm no doubt going to check those secrets.

Note: I haven't tried any of these Game Shark codes so don't complain to me about your
Chocobo's Dungeon 2 game screwed up or your Play Station blew up or something. No,
I will not be responsible for this. Hey, you choose to use them!

* - With this code, it gives you certain items, that are glitchy, perfect example would
be Set, don't use that, you will lock the game up. Also, when you start out, go to the
card section and pick the second card and use it, this will be the verify all items
card, this will change all unknown items to known items.
