‘WELCOME!

MEET
FAMILY
As with any introduction, you begin by
meeting everyone and learning their names~
except that you're providing the material.
You get to name the family, as well as your favorite
food and favorite.“thing.” Pick anything you want,
or use the “Don't Care" options for an easy out.

Our story takes place in Tazmily Village, a tiny town nestled among the Nowhere Islands,
North of town, beyond the Sunshine Forest, a cozy log cabin sits high atop rocky Mt. Oriander.

Tired Attire
Your brother, Claus, wakes you up from a
peaceful slumber. Amble downstairs to see
what's up, greeting your mother along the way.
She stops you before you even go outside and
scoots you upstairs to change out of your PJs.

Rounding up the Troops

With thé unfolding destruction in the forest, Tazmily’s one-man panic brigade dons his fire-
fighter hat and springs into action. Thomas battles valiantly with an insidious doorknob and
eventually succeeds in convincing Flint to join him on his quest. Lighter has a shack deep in
the woods where the black smoke is already bilfowing. There's no time to waste!

FIGHTING STYLE
FLI NT
@ is a solid fighter
whose greatest
strength is his powerful melee attack.
Regrettably he is a bit slow, so he'll
sometimes be the last to attack. His wide
variety of special battle moves makes
up for this deficit, so use them wisely!
EIT Ta Flint swings his weapon
in every direction, hitting
each enemy once. The only drawback
is that he has no opportunity to perform
timed attacks, making this ability useful
only for battles with 2 or more enemies.
STRENGTHEN UP
Flint gathers his strength, increasing his
offense by 5-12 points. This amazing skill,
if used at the start of a battle, enables
Flint to make quick work of enemies with
lots of HP or high defense. Unfortunately,
this increase cannot be stacked, and Flint's
offense goes back to normal after the
battle ends. If his offense falls during the
battle for any reason, however, the skill
can be re-used to bring it back up.
MOTHER 3
As you pick your way through the
forest, proceed with caution. There
are fires burning everywhere, and
it's HOT —you'll take 1 HP damage
each time you get too close!

Flint stiffens his

his defense by 47 points. With this skill, Flint

Osohe Castle is an abandoned mystery full offrightening spirits and impassable obstacles. That's never
stopped you before, so perhaps it's time to blazeyour own trail. That statue looks like a goodstarting place!

The most interesting and dangerous aspect of the ancient Osohe Castle is the fascinating art
packed into every room and hallway. Statues, paintings, and ancient weapons in various states
of peril, decay, and enchantment fill the decrepit corridors.

Don't be tempted to open the present at the bottom of the

hole, as it contains an unpleasant surprise. If your curiosity
gets the best of you, though, take heart—the present in the
next room contains a little something to clear the air.

WELCOMING THE GHOST

A friendly ghost stands guard in front ofa

room with a formidable foe. Luckily, you've
got two options for this battle. If you'd
rather take it easy, you can attack each piece
of the knight individually by approaching
the shield or sword first. If you walk towards
the armor first, though, it will team up with
the sword/shield to become the Ghost Knight!
Be warned that the armor is cursed—that's bad.
You'll only have to fight one battle instead of
three, which means less damage. That's
good! However, it will be a more difficult
battle—that's bad. But there's a 70% chance

He's not light on his feet, but he is heavy handed. Throw a Smoke Bomb to make

Once the Clayman has received enough damage he'll crash down on top of you,

Despite his propensity for sleeping in
and limping around, Duster can really
move it when things get tense. From time

From time to time, Duster will execute a moye so mind-blowing that the enemy is left
scratching their head—giving you the opening shots instead!
 WHAT'S THE POINT
Seeing a large needle sticking out of the
ground in the courtyard, Wess seems to
remember that it provoked an unpleasant

which supposedly contains the hope—or
calamity—of the world. Wess and Kumatora
seem to remember that it's important, but
the details are a little fuzzy

The awe surrounding the Egg comes to an
abrupt end when the Pigmasks start beating
down the door, and Kumatora’s take-charge

CLUB TITIBOO
 THE ADVENTURE BEGINS

Three years have passed since the dark events which

transpired in the Sunshine Forest. The small town of Tazmily
has been transformed into a bustling suburb filled with fancy
modern buildings and new modes of transportation. Fassad is
still preaching in the converted town square, and there seems
to be some kind of persistent lightning storm looming...

ANEW BEGINNING
Lucas wakes from a recurring dream, padding solemnly
through an empty house while memories of his mother
fill his head. Flint only ever returns for a few hours
of fitful sleep each night before the sun rises, leaving
for the cliffs before dawn.

-_CHANGING Along with the town, Lucas has grown and changed.
Memories of the past, however, still haunt him.
It might be a good idea to visit Hinawa's grave, but
be sure to change in front of the mirror first.

ALIVE-STOCK
Flint’s small ranch has certainly seen better
days—charred livestock wander aimlessly around the
femains of their stable. None of the animals seem
fazed by this, for some reason. As you head toward
town, Boney decides he’s willing to take you for a walk.
Boney has been by Lucas’s side these past
few years and is not about to leave him now.
This friendly pup will help you fight anything
‘that gets in your way. He can even use items
‘too, despite not having opposable thumbs.

A Save Frog near your

house asksfor your
full attention—you
can try to ignore him,
but he's pretty persis-
tent. And with good
reason — there's a
new currency sys-
tem in place known
as Dragon Power or
DP for short. Lucas
can now buy and sell
items, and enemies
will now drop DP.
You can deposit and
withdraw DP from
Save Frogs asif they
were little green ATMs.
Welcome to the age
of money!

URBAN RENEWAL
Tazmily Village no longer looks as rustic as it once
did. The modegnized buildings are surrounded by
paved roads and every house has a Happy Box. Well,
almost every house. Now is a good time for Lucas to
explore and get up to speed with the latest village
happenings.

ee

Doorknob gleamed proudly as the medal of recognition was

draped around its bronzed neck. In its first three years as a law
enforcement knob, the brash young accessory had jailed dozens
of shiftless punks, repeatedly placing itself in harm’s way as
bait for the department's various shakedowns and stings.
Despite its decorated service, however, Doorknob longed to break
free of the ranks of the law enforcement industry...
It seems that Lucas and Flint’s house isn't the only place in town suffering from e
inexplicable sunny-day lightning strikes. The destruction of Alec's cabin forced him into ™
the old folks’ home, poor Reggie's tent has been reduced to ashes, and the list goes
on. Stranger yet, the happier citizens don't seem to regard these as disasters...

 PAYING RESPECTS
Flint is at Hinawa's grave paying his respects.
When you speak to him, he suggests you do the
same. Hinawa’'s grave triggers another flashback to
happier times. When you're done reminiscing Flint
will be gone... but where did he go?

RIGHT ON TIME
It looks like a new train station was built over the old
dirt crossroads. Go to the platform and witness a
discussion between Bronson and Jackie. It seems Duster
is still missing and that someone at “Club Titiboo”
looks just like him. Perhaps you should tell Wess

Hey there, residents of Tazmily! Have you got something

important to say but no one to hearyouout? Got a job you '

 CRAZY OLD MEN
Once back at the town square you'll witness a one-
sided showdown between Fassad and Wess concerning
the town’s lightning problem. Eventually a Pigmask
shows up to drag Wess back to the retirement home
in the most undignified manner possible.

VISITING HOURS
You'll find Wess upstairs in the middle room of his
former house. Talk to him about the man at Club Lacuna
Titiboo who supposedly looks like Duster. Wess, who
wants you to look into the matter, gives you a Carrier
Pigeon to be released aS.a sign if it really is Duster.

time to find out who that Duster look-alike really is!

Before you take the Ropeway, you might consider running back to
Tazmily for a nap. Just as you enter the tunnel, though, a stranger
bravely plucks you from the clutches of impending doom! This ultra-

It looks like Lucas and Boney have missed the DCMC
show! Luckily the encore is about to start. Do some
mingling and talk to everyone in the room. After all that
walking, Boney’s dogs will be barking.

If you try to leave the theater someone will always bump into you,
barring your exit. Even one of the DCMC band members shows up!
If a waitress bumps into you and sees that you've got room in your
inventory, she'll recognize her chance to sell you an overpriced item
and apologize. If there’s no room in your inventory, though, you'll
just be another annoying kid getting in the way...

Violet offers to take your order, but a latecomer interrupts.

Why, if it isn’t Thomas! Violet tells you to meet her
in the lobbyafter the show and that there is a lot to
discuss, Don't. worry about that now; the encore is
about to start!
 On the way out of the theater after the encore you'll be
offered a free DCMC Pamphlet. Take it even though it’s not
a great weapon—it could come in handy in the future!

Look for Violet towards the room on’the right. Follow her
down the ladder and into the underground passage.
There are Slimy Slugs down here, but they won't be a

The Masked Man and the Pigmasks are planning something big
enough that they couldn’t risk any kind of interference. What could
they be up to, and what happened to Duster and Kumatora?

HAY IS FOR HORSES & RESCUE (+

Wess and Alec’s impromptu haystacking
session is interrupted when Lucas and Boney
hurtle from the sky, their falls cushioned
by the massive bales. They wake up in the
retirement home as Alec discusses the
dream which prompted his haystack.

WHERE TO?
As you leave the retirement home, Alec asks
about Duster and mentions that his Magypsy
friends may be able to help you out.

A STRANGER IN OUR MIDST

There's a commotion on the bridge outside
the retirement home. Ionia, the strange being
who helped you learn PSI, has been bound
and gagged and the townspeople are too
freaked out to help. Spitting out the gag,
she explains that she was attacked and is
concerned about Aeolia—time to go upriver!

her prized fluffy bed to a sick Pigmask lost on Snoweap Mountain.

opens the door to the next Needle. Before
exiting though, the sound of invaders fills
the air. Rushing outside, the party finally
confronts the Masked Man asidea freshly-
pulled Needle! After a brief glare at Lucas he

She tells Lucas that he must be the one
to pull the remaining Needles. Leaving her
memento behind, she asks you to check on
the Pigmask she saved before you depart
from the mountain.

You're in for a bit of a surprise when you check

on the wounded Pigmask: his helmet is off,
and he’s just a normal, chubby guy. In fact,
without the helmet, he even seems to have
feelings—try to dash and you'll get a stern
lecture about rabbit safety! Don't forget
