Miscellaneous questions

You'll know when you're on the right track when the background starts turning green and you see a lot of jumping ogres (the gargoyle-like stout creatures with two legs that jump at Naija after crouching.)

Yeah, found it. I hadn't been through that stretch of Open Waters for a long time, and had neglected to mark the current on my map. Easiest boss so far. Now to go back exploring and seeing where I can use nature and fish forms...

9) There are a bunch of yellow, spikey, jumping plants(?) in the Kelp Forest. What is their significance? They're super-easy to avoid, they don't shoot anything at you, you can't eat them (or I get hurt every time I try, at least), and they never appear to drop any items.

10) Tadpole-thingies. I found one of these in a house in Mithalas, and it attached to me and gave me constant life regeneration until I moved to the next zone. I found a small cave with more of them in the Kelp Forest, but they wouldn't attach to me in any form, and singing didn't seem to help either. Anyone know what I'm talking about? How do you get them to attach?

11) Where the heck do you find a Sea Cake?! I have five or six cake recipes. ALL of them require sea cake as a base ingredient. I have every form up to the fish now (which, incidentally, answers my question about whether or not you can have a creature form!) and have yet to find a single sea cake anywhere.

9) The bouncies do nothing but get in your way.  At least, they never did for me.  it's possible that if you kill every one in the game, you get over 9000 bonus points, but...

10) The health tadpoles attach to you when you sing the color of their eyes.  I never really bothered trying to tell what color they are, and just spun the mouse around the song wheel.

11)  Not sure where you get the recipe, but it's any oil+egg.

Lol. I guess I was pretty adventurous with my cooking.. I found sea cake really early in the game. xD

And yeah, singing to the tadpoles should work.. Just when you have them on, try not to do the spin thing (moving the mouse around Naija in circles really fast or holding 'r') as it throws them off.

I think the spiky yellow plant things are seeds.  That's just my thought.

I think the "gargoyle" things someone talked about earlier may be some kind of frog, although since the Kelp Forest doesn't really have a lot of air places, or maybe none at all, that's not the best idea, since they are amphibians... and need land as well as water habitat areas.

I got the sea cake recipe from getting a sea cake pretty early in the game - maybe you missed one of those bulbs where you sing to get the goods? I actually swam all the way back to the beginning once I got the bind song so I could check behind rocks for bulb plants... although sometimes you can see the glow from behind them anyway.

I totally love the Jellyfish armor... it's not just a life saver, it's beautimous.  My favorite outfit in the entire game .  I actually really like the Jellyfish boss fight, because I just switch between beast and energy form, and eat all those baby jellies - just like someone else said.  It's like you don't ever really get hurt badly because you're always healing .

Anyway, just had a lot of comments XD.

Everyone loves reading well-thought out posts.

I had to use the treasure maps for this; turns out it's under a rock in the NW tunnels of Home Waters. I'd mapped it out before I got the Bind Song, and must not've even noticed the glow. I also don't think Sea Cake is SUPPOSED to be that rare, considering how many cake recipes there are, but.. I also think that's the only one in the whole game. -.-

This has not been my experience. I just don't heal enough from the jellyfish to offset the constant damage. =/

Ah well. I did manage to find all the memories on my own, and even got a rukh egg.. but Frozen Veil is irritating, so now it's on to the last couple areas. =p

I quite enjoy getting those ruhk eggs and I keep going back for more and I get plenty of the blue bulbs also The sea cake is only found once you have to make them from then onwards

Any way those jumping orange things, beast form can eat them in my version of the game?

[Xiagan]

and I get plenty of the blue bulbs also

The blue ones are easy, the red ones are the rare/needed ones.

I know Xiagan, it just that you have to kill those seadragons to get the most but most of the time it's just giving leaves I mentioned those because they are very useful in conjunction with the ruhk egg

Oh my god am I pissed off. =(

Last boss, second form (standing, face off): he grabs you and I CANNOT ESCAPE. I beat him once without this happening, but then died at the final form. Now I cannot get past this second form again because he grabs, poisons, and I cannot get away. Charged shots in energy and sun form do nothing, nature form does nothing, can't get away in fish or beast form. How are you supposed to get free again?

So mad.

(Have died 3 times in a row due to just this thing. sigh.)

EDIT: Nevermind, I forgot about the boss strategies thread, which kindly points out exactly this. ;p

Also don't turn into fish form.

Good man nunix that's the way to use this forum

[nunix]

The ironic part is that once I knew how to escape the grasp.. I fought him and didn't even need it. -.-
