Every mote type has a stronger and weaker version. Every monster has a special magical alignment. The alignment could be one of these: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Light and Dark. Each alignment has its opposite as well, Fire to Water, Earth to Air, and Light to Dark. So if a monster is earth aligned you can equip an air mote to your sword (go to mote inventory and press "O") and you will do more damage. Now if you want to block/reflect an enemy attack equip the same alignment to your sheild (go to mote inventory and press "square"). Last but not least if you want an enemy to deal less damage to you, equip the same alignment to your armour (go to mote inventory and press "X"). So to completely overpower an opponent that is dark aligned equip a light mote to your sword, a dark mote to your sheild and a dark mote to your armour. Now each type of mote has a special power that can be activated when you charge up your weapon. These powers are as follows: *Earth - Weaker Version: Leaf Stronger Version: Rock; Can poison opponents *Air - Weaker Version: Fog Stronger Version: Wind; Can shock opponents *Dark - Weaker Version: Smoke Stronger Version: Shadow; Can absorb energy from opponents *Light - Weaker Version: Light Stronger Version: Sun; Can confuse opponents *Fire - Weaker Version: Fire Stronger Version: Lava; Can set opponents on fire *Water - Weaker Version: Bubble Stronger Version: Water; Can freeze opponents *Rainbow (all alignments) - Weaker Version: Nova Stronger Version: Supernova; Every mote in one small package ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ^_^*(Walkthrough)*^_^ Coming Soon!

Act One Bosses: *Juppie Monster -Location: Shadowglen Woods -Alignment: Earth -Difficulty: 2/10 -How to: First he will send out tentacle(s) to hurt you, kill them and the main boss will appear again. You will also notice that a giant juppie fell from the ceiling. Now go to the back of the cave but make sure you are aligned behind the giant juppie. The monster will try to slam onto you, but if you were far enough back it shouldn't have hurt you and if you were correctly aligned with the juppie the monster should have landed on it. This will stun him, when he is stunned, run up to him and slash away! Repeat this process and he will be defeated. *Ixi Cheiftan -Location: Cogham Steppes -Alignment: Not sure -Difficulty: 1/10 -How to: First he will send out a couple of henchman to fight you. Kill them (obviously). Then go after the "big" man himself. Just hit him with the 1-2-3 combo when he's open and you'll be fine. This guy is super easy. About halfway through, he will have archers start to shoot at you. Don't worry about them. Just keep moving and they'll barely ever hit you. *Gnarfas -Location: Illusen's Glade -Alignment: Fire -Difficulty: 4/10 -How to: Fight him for a couple of seconds and then a cutscene will appear. After the cutscene, keep 1-2-3'ing him and again you'll be fine. Every once in a while, he'll jump into a tree. When he does this just run around until he jumps out. If you stay still, he will jump on you. Act Two Bosses: NONE! Lucky Roberta! Act Three Bosses: *Plague Serpant -Location: Bogshot Swamp -Alignment: Water -Difficulty: 5/10 -How to: Okay first off, equip a fire mote to your sword and a water mote to your sheild. Jump onto one of the pedestals and wait for the serpant to appear on either side of you. When he does a headbutt (you'll know when he will because he will bring his head back before striking) pull out your sheild. He will hit it and fall to the ground. When he does that jump towards him and while in the air press "O". This will perform a jump attack. He will then go back in the water. Jump back onto on of the pedestals and repeat this process until he dies. Every once in a while he will release a green smoke type thing. When he does that, jump the opposite direction onto another pedestal. Another attack he will probably do is a hypnosis attack (freeze). There is practicaly no way to dodge this so just wait till he attacks you, that will unfreeze you and then jump to another pedestal. Atfer about every 1/4 of his life is gone, he will destroy some of the pedestals (don't worry, if he destroys the one you're on, you won't get hurt). *Werelupe King -Location: Werelupe Burrows -Alignment: Fire -Difficulty: 2.5/10 -How to: Just run up and attack him as much as possible. He really isn't that hard. Every once in a while he will jump and release a ring of fire, just jump over it. Like I said, just keep slashing and you'll beat him eventually. *Dark Juppie Monster -Location: Shadowglen Woods -Alignment: Dark or Earth.... Difficulty: 3/10 How to: Same as before. This time use Roberta. After killing the vines and him smashing the juppie this time, he'll get up! Just shoot at him with your wand. Repeat the process until he's done. *Dark Ixi Chieftan Location: Meriload Mine Alignment: Dark Difficulty: 1/10 How to: Easier than before it seems. Same as before. Just keep slashing and he'll be dead. The only difference this time is he might throw some stuff at you, just dodge it. *Gelert Assasin Location: Where Gnarfas was. Alignment: Dark? Difficulty: 4.5/10 How to: Just attack him whenever possible. He won't always be open for attack but when he is, go for it! He will also sink into the ground and appear somewhere else on the field. That's pretty much it *Black Knight Location: Knight's Keep Alignment: Dark Difficulty: 7.5/10 How to: What makes this guy so hard is the fact that he can't be directly attacked. Sometimes he'll fall over revealing a weak spot. Use Tor's 1-2-3 attack to hit it. After a while, he won't do that anymore. Run around under the chandelier. While doing this, he'll try to attack you and his sword will get caught. This will again will reveal a weak spot on his underarms. This spot is unreachable to Tor so use Roberta. He has also this attack where he throws his sword at you. He only does this when you either get to far away or when you try to go upstairs. So don't do that. *Undead Draik Location: Wherever Fyora's Rod is Alignment: Fire and Water Difficulty: About 4.5/10 How to: He'll charge up either fire or ice beams. You'll be able to tell by the color of the ball in his stomach. Whicever one he uses, put that mote on your sheild and hold up you sheild until he falls over. When he does, go up and attack. During the fight he'll start to fall apart and get faster. When he's nothing but a skull, blast him with Roberta. Afterwards, collect all the treasure and get the rod. *Dark Faerie Sisters Location: Meridell Castle Alignment: Dark Difficulty: 3.5/10 How to: First use Roberta to fire once at the sisters. This will create a cutscene with the sister talking about how "Like omg! She like took our invulnerability." So now you can actually attack them. Now switch to Tor and go 1-2-3 them. You'll probably be able to corner them and then they won't be able to beat them. Just make sure you have a light mote equiped to you sword. Act Four Boss: *The Darkest Faerie Location: Fyora's Castle Alignment: All! Difficulty: 5/10 How to: Seriously, this was a real let down for a final boss battle. So lets get to it. You have about three minutes to beat her. If you don't make the time limit, Faerieland crushes Meridell and its ALL YOUR FAULT!!!! Not a problem. She'll send magical blast of a random element at you, so put Nova on your shield & send it back. She'll be open for attack now. BUT, you need to perform a three hit combo in order to do any damage. If she throws a dark element at you taek down your sheild. If you're hit by one, a minion will appear and they just get in your way. After a while, you automatically switch to Roberta. Just shoot at her like crazy and the ending will start. Congratulations on beating the game! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ^_^*(Petpets)*^_^ Coming Soon!

But in Acts 3 & 4 I think its best to use chokatos/starberries and sometimes peachpas/ergyfruit. This is beacause your life will have gone up a significant amount by now and the juppies will deplete quickly. 2) Always "actiavte" (inventory and press "O") the health restoration item to Tor and the magic restoration item to Roberta. 3) When you get to Acts 3 & 4, its always a good idea to hold some extra juppies, even if you don't use them so you can feed the petpets. All the petpets give you some kind of bonus that will help you no matter what. More to come soon! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ^_^*(Credits)*^_^ *My cousins for letting me play their game *Idol Minds for making the game *Me for making the guide obviously *Gamefaqs.com for making a great guide site *Neopets.com for making the website that this guide was based off of ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ^_^*(Copyright Information)*^_^ This entire document is © 2006 Jeremy W (tradespaces91).
