FORBIDDEN SIREN 2 ARCHIVE ITEM GUIDE & TRANSCRIPT Made by Eleanore Duplay (aka. Yuiko) – yuiko97@hotmail.com First Version 1.0 – 27th March 2008 ================ INTRODUCTION: ================ This is an old guide I made for the game Forbidden Siren 2 around the time it was released here in Europe (i.e. back in late 2006). I never got to upload it back then though because I had no idea how to write an introduction credits. But now I thought I might as well give it a shot. In this guide I’ve included transcripts of all the 100 achieve items you can obtain in the games and how and one to get them. The layout should be simple enough to understand and I’ve made little notes if something is unclear at how to get them. All information should be correct but feel free to contact me if you find any typos or misleading notes. This FAQ probably won’t get any special upgrades unless I might also do a Dialogue Transcript too to go with it. Now I wont delay you any further so please enjoy the guide~ ======================== THE ACHIEVES 1 TO 100 ======================== No. 001 Shintokumaru Magazine Character /Takeaki Misawa Time /2 years ago Place /Hanuda Village/Landslide Site Required /Rescue schoolgirl Notes /Automatic Shintokumaru August 9, 2003 Issue Earthquake hits Misumi county!

Shikai News August 3, 1976 Evening Edition Yamijima: Isle of the Lost Undersea Cable Cut On the midnight of August 2, the undersea cable supplying electric power to the isolated Yamijima island was cut, resulting in an island-wide power outage. The following morning, a repair crew of Sanzu Electric Power arrived at the island only to find it totally deserted. The crew contacted the Prefectural police whose later searches failed to discover a single inhabitant. The police have set up a special task force to investigate the mysterious disappearances of the island residents, and are also investigating whether there might be a connection between the incident and the severed undersea cable. A spokesperson for Sanzu Electric Power reported that the undersea cable rests at a maximum depth of 310 meters, a level that would require special equipment and a large number of trained personnel to cut the cable, indicating that the cable could not have been severed by artificial means. =================================================================== No. 010 Shikai News (video) Character /Unknown Time /-05:00 Place /Y.

Yamigame (yamigame family) Turtle inhabiting the coastline of Yamijima Island in the Shikai Region, an area known among seafarers as the site of several shipwrecks. This location, coupled with the markings on the turtle’s shell which are said to resemble a facial expression of rage, has spawned a myth that the turtle is inhabited by the vengeful spirits of those that were lost at sea. In the past, fishermen feared that the turtles were cursed. Hence, they were known to go so far as to cut their precious fishing nets to release any Yamigame turtles that were snared in them. =================================================================== No. 014 Turtle Jelly Noodles (Video) Character /Mamoru Itsuki Time /-03:00 Place /Yamijima Harbour/Press.

The product, Turtle Jelly Noodle, featured an abundant amount of turtle jelly toppings, claimed to be a miraculous ingredient for beauty enhancement. Advertised with the slogan, “take off 10 years just with a single mouthful…”, the product was slated for national release until it was plagued by a series of strange events wherein heavy consumers disappeared, mumbling words to the effect of, “I want to go back to the sea.” These incidents triggered a full recall and nearly resulted in the product’s cancellation. Huge losses brought about reduced production and a tainted brand image that forced the company to reconsider the products nationwide release. However, to this day, there are several who think highly of “the ultimate local snack.” What’s more, a shortage of the product has resulted in a heated shopping frenzy among beauty-conscious housewives. The television advert featuring Naoko Mihama, the missing TV reporter during her early years as a pop idol, continues to enjoy limited airplay in certain areas. /Transcript: Ad voice: A relaxing moment… spoil yourself.

In a last-ditch effort to save its failing business, Sushibon developed a new line of toys, melding “robot” with “beast,” a combination believed to be highly popular among young boys. Employing the latest technology of that day and age, the company equipped their “Robo Beast” with a voice synthesis gimmick. Armed with this state-of-the-art product, Sushibon launched a massive sales campaign, flooding the airwaves with television adverts of their new wonder toy.

Riko was the younger sister of Eri Azuma, the legendary princess of pop who met with a fatal accident while on her way to the Top Pop Music Awards ceremony. Following in her late sister’s footsteps, Riko debuted with her sensational single, “For the Love of Mendoza.” She followed that with several record-breaking hits that paved her way to a U.S. debut which would have led to a world-class stardom. However, she shocked her fans when she announced her marriage and subsequent retirement. Riko’s fans were even more surprised to learn that her husband was the driver of the car that had run over her sister, Eri. Apparently, the two grew close when her husband repeatedly visisted the Azuma home to apologise for the loss and grief that he had caused. Right now, Riko is the proud mother of one, and spends most of her days either nursing her baby or training on the dance floor. Riko is best remembered for her vocal masterpiece, “Azteca Queen”, which held the number one slot for 13 consecutive weeks. /Transcript: …feel the divine breath now in my soul… In the age of the sun, two… are… killing… …killing… each… other… dying… dying… Close your eyes… lost to a… ki-lling… kill… k-illin-g… ki-lli-n-g… =================================================================== No. 042 Trophy Character /Ichiko Yagura Time /01:00 Place /Bright Win Required /Defeat Shibito holding the trophy Notes /He’s standing in the second floor entrance.

The Story 2 million light years from our solar system, Galactic Republic elections are being held on the planet, Bentroh. The results are close, threatening to offset the delicate political balance of the republic. To secure a majority and gain a foothold in his plans to conquer the universe, the evil galactic governor, Metango, looked to the planet with the casting vote. A planet called Earth. Under pretence of galactic harmony and interstellar prosperity, the governor demands the hand of Tomomillia, princess of the third planet. To counter his bold move and stall for time, the controlling factions commence fruitless negotiations at the highest administrative levels. With the republic hanging in the balance, a final bill is proposed… About the Movie “Space Cold War” was a tense film with a surprise twist: the governor was one of the princess’s robot servants, Kitabeppu No. 4! Way ahead of its time, “Space Cold War” featured absolutely no action scenes, relying on the tension of speeches and negotiations.

The island is also known as the “Isle of hate,” the “Island of the Dead,” and the “Island of the Dark.” Given the isolationist nature of the island’s residents, either of the names would seem appropriate in terms of context. Over the years, the island residents have developed their own unique folklore and customs, pretty much closing the door to outsiders.

There was a young girl who went to the beach to gather some seaweed. But she never returned. The family desperately searched the area. But when they were unable to find her, they gave her up as a victim of the sea. On the day of the girl’s funeral, members of the family gathered at the front door where they heard a loud noise. There, they were shocked to see the missing girl standing outside the door with a blank expression on her face. As the girl’s relieved parents rushed to bring the girl into the house, the girl’s elderly grandmother softly whispered, “No. It’s not her.” With those words, the girl melted away. All that was left behind was the clothes of the missing girl and a puddle of water. The grandmother explained that the sea is the home of a monster that steals the appearance of the dead, and that the creature must never be welcomed into the home. In the village, to this day, victims of drowning are never brought into the home. Instead they are cremated and laid to rest.

Makes Kunitoris mini-game available from top menu. A videogame console released by an overseas manufacturer, 3G MANIAX, in 1982. The machine featured an awesome 3D graphic chip capable of generating full 3D images. However, a shabby sound chip which couldn’t produce the C, D and E notes proved to be the machine’s downfall. Several games were released on the platform and are still sought after by game collectors. (Press X to check Kunitoris) A review of “Kunitoris” 3G MANIAX’s launch title for the Japanese market is a hybrid game combining Shogun feudal wars with puzzle action. Unfortunately, the idea of matching titles to conquer territories fails to generate any of the excitement associated with war simulations.

To date, I’ve been unable to determine the materials, the period, the style or any other identifying characteristics. Could it be a modern piece of work that somehow got mixed in with other relics? Or is it some sort of prank or hoax? At this point, I can’t accept this piece as an official artefact of the dig. July 30th Kanae’s resemblance to my wife is uncanny. Even my son, Shu, who’s never seen his mother seems taken by her. I know this is all wrong, but I can’t bring myself to do anything about the situation. July 31st Somebody smashed the rear window again. How can they be so blinded by their customs? Maybe this is the only way they can express their anger at the developers who’ve polluted their waters. I was never accepted even from the very first day I arrived on this island. The hatred that the islanders feel towards outsiders is something that will probably never change in the years to come.

The ceremony for finding the branches in Shinari Mountain is referred to as “The Mekkoju Walk.” For generations, the head of the Ohta family has been responsible for finding the branches and granting then to the island’s newborn.

Latest Observation Result Hints at the Existence of a Parallel Universe! Have you ever imagined the existence of a world other then the one we live in? The idea that there is another world beyond ours that looks pretty much the same is referred to be the term “parallel universe.” The number of these worlds are said to be equivalent to the alternative paths that were not treaded in our world. Recently, the existanvce of a parallel universe was suggested by the latest space observation results. Arguing the existence of a parallel universe may seem bizarre to some. However, when taking into account the relationship of time and space, and the very fact that we are here in this “reality,” there is clearly a link that may reveal the very mysteries of life! =================================================================== No. 084 Pylon Drawings Character /Mamoru Itsuki Time /18:00 Place /Shinari Mountain/Pylon #4 Required /Inspect the wall of Office Bldg.

One day, the pregnant wife wandered out to the beach to wait for her husband’s return. Heedless of a warning handed down by generations of islanders in which a cursed child would be born of any pregnant woman who is touched by the sea, she stepped into the waters as she waited for her husband. Hearing of her transgression, her husband was furious! The wife was advised by the certain member of the Ohta family that her newborn child should be dismembered, sealed in a barrel, and buried in hallowed ground. The wife ignored the advice. As the infant grew, the mark of the defiled appeared on the child’s skin. To save the child, that certain Ohta family member performed a ceremony using the holy tree to exorcise the child. Shortly thereafter, the mark of the defiled faded from view, cast to the winds. =================================================================== No. 088 Mamoru’s Digital Camera Character /Ikuko Kifune Time /20:00 Place /Shinari Mountain/Pylon #4 Required /Inspect the Office Bldg Storeroom Notes / You get this automatically when completing the second mission objective.

But that’s really no excuse, is it? The other day, I was going through some old boxes and came across a torn picture of the two of you together when you were little girls. I’m sure you were always on Ryuko’s mind. I’ve enclosed the remaining half of the photograph with this letter. Now more then ever, I sincerely regret separating you from your twin sister.
