No more water for us! In this episode, we continue the path of evolution to dry land and look at what awaits us!
All maps by Tropicon.
Domain of Kuraselache (continued)
The trick to fighting bosses in this game is to have a lot of EP. The more you have, the better. That way, you can increase and decrease your body size (or do any evolution) for the sole purpose of refilling all your health. Yes, when you evolve, you refill all your health.
Another real trick to use against this boss is stay close to a wall. When he runs into a wall, he'll be stunned for a few seconds. Use this to your advantage and score a few extra hits on this bozo!
When you beat this guy, you'll get four pieces of sushi that give you 250 EP each. Nice.
When you leave the cave, you'll find out that all the enemies are gone and that the Strolites are making oxygen. Go above the cave and go right.
Coast of Pange
The name is obviously supposed to be Pangaea.
Normally, if you went here before beating the boss and jumped out of the water, you would lose health until you went back in due to the lack of breathable oxygen. But since you've beaten the boss, you become a land creature with arms and legs! You have lungs instead of gills! Yay, evolution!
When you head to the right, you'll be ushered into the Land Age, and you'll turn into an amphibian. You'll lose all your EP (making the EP you got from the boss a moot point) and all your upgrades. You'll be starting from scratch all over again...
Chapter 2: Early Creatures of Land
300~230 Million Years B.C.
Amphibians and insects are already on land. There should be a lot of plants, but something is wrong...
Coast of Pange
The crabs here will heal you if you eat them. Not that you need them right now, but...
The brown crystal tells you that if you increase the size of your tail, your jumping ability will get better and your max HP will increase. This should be a high priority if you want to survive.
When you leave this area, you'll be able to choose from two new ones.
Ocean of Pange
When you jump in the water, you'll go from being able to walk to being able to swim. You'll stay this way until you jump back out of the water and onto dry land.
You can attack the Coelafish here for EP, but they're not gonna give you much. They stay as they are because it is difficult for them to fight against the land creatures. Poor guys...
Land of Timid Ikustega
Apparently, you're an Ikustega. That's not timid. Gee, thanks, game.
Anyway, when you chase after the Ikustega here, they run away in fear. They're still not fast enough to escape you, though, so chow down and get some easy EP. You can kill them Mario style by jumping on them, though I'm not quite sure why you'd want to.
When you make your way to the right, you'll clear this area.
Land of Bull Ikustega
The Ikustega here, however, don't care. They'll try to jump on you Mario-style, but that's all they can really do.
Land of Amphibians
There are more Bull Ikustega here. The first one you see will tell you to get out of this land, as it is run by the elder who takes care of the plants in this area. Could this "elder" be behind the lack of plants...?
You'll also meet a new enemy here: a mini Triceratops. These guys will try to whack you with their horns. They're not any more powerful than the Bull Ikustega, though.
Land of Boss Ikustega
Now you meet one big one. To beat Debustega, keep away from him and bite him when he lands on the ground. You'll definitely want to evolve a little bit before you take him on.
He can also spit green balls at you. Acid, perhaps?
Empty Land
When you enter the other fork, you'll be here. You'll then hear whispers above you, talking about the green crystal, which has the power to return you to an earlier form that you've saved under Record of Evolution. (Which means if you wanted to, you could save a powerful creature you created during your last game, eat this crystal, and be able to transform into it and play as it earlier in the game than intended.) The person talking to this "Captain" has his misgivings, but the Captain will take responsibility for anything that happens. This won't be the last you'll see of these unknown entities...
Anyway, unless you've beaten Debustega, you won't be able to go any further.
