Patapon 2 - Mocchichi's Counterattack

Ok.. Boss fight again. Mocchichi is the giant bird. I'm going to bring the Yaripon Hero since I need that extra little help to deal more damage to the bird.

Will just have to remember to defend before it attacks.

When defeated, the bird drops the Mochicchichi Egg Lv 1.

Army: same as before
Time taken: 00:05:01

Patapon 2 - Dodonga at Dongara Ruins Lv. 7

Now that I've a full army, I decided to go back to Dodonga at Dongara Ruins to fight Dodonga again.

What's the purpose? To get the Attack Miracle. According to the guide, it says that Dodonga start dropping the Attack Miracle at Lv. 5.

I managed to get it at Lv. 7.

Army: Yaripon Hero, Tatepons, Yaripons, Yumipons.

Time taken: 00:04:44

So far, I do not level up my basic patapons. They are all Level 1 Patapons. I'll start leveling my Yumipons when I start to have materials like Fangs.

My friend once told me to make the Yaripon that looks like a Tree, they call it the Tree-pon. I'm not sure why. But the last time I played, it seems to be good.

So, make 1 Yumipon (Tree) and then try to level it up to 10, then make a 2nd one.

Have fun! But I'm sure will need to go a few more maps before we meet with the boss that drops fangs. Alternatively, you can go to Juju Jungle or the other hunting stage to try you luck for some. The Tree minigame also drops fangs, but will use up your kachings pretty fast if you don't have a lot.

Patapon 2 - Karmen Fortress in Usso Forest Lv. 2

If you thought you had done this stage before, you are right.

This time we are going back to this stage to obtain the Egg.

I'll be bringing my full army with Yaripon Hero so as to bring down the fortresses faster. Wish me luck!

Note: Till now, I've not unlocked the memories of any other patapon classes.

We can also come back again as this stage seems to drop quite a bit of equipment.

Army: Yaripon Hero, Tatepons, Yaripons, Yumipons.

Patapon 2 - Mushrooms in Nyokiri Beach

This is a hunting stage, so leave our Tatepons at home.

There is a totem pole some where in the middle of the game. Do not go too near as it might disappear. Upon reaching, press the command and it'll start to 'wep'. I got the Rain Miracle here.


Army: Yaripon Hero, Yaripons and Yumipons
Time taken: 00:05:04

Took a bit more time including taking the photo of the totem pole.

Patapon 2 - A Noble Death

According to the guide, we are going through a series of enemies.

Just remember to 'defend' often, and also bring Tatepon Hero.

For the first few obstacles, Gong actually helps to demolish them.

Army: I only had enough materials for 3 Yaripons and didn't want to hunt yet. Let's see if it's good enough to fight this stage.

Patapon 2 - Karmen Fortress in Usso Forest

We are suppose to be able to find the Yumipon memory from this stage. Let's go!

Yes! I've gotten the Yumipon memory. Now I can start building a full army. :)

Army: Same as previous.
Time taken: 00:04:17

Patapon 2 - Dodonga at Dongara Ruins

Let's go back to fight Dodonga again.

I've now created a full army of basic Tatepons and Yaripons.

We'll have to fight till Level 5 to get the Attack Miracle. Let's fight till Level 5 before moving on.

Army:





Time taken: from 3.5 to 10 min each.

I managed to finish Level 6, but no Attack Miracle yet like the guide said. I'll move on and come back later with a stronger army later.

Patapon 2 - Training: Nanjaro Hill Course

Let's try the Nanjaro Hill course now. It is made up of 3 cannons for us to practise Attack and Defence.

Stage 1 will give us the Kimpon Cap for the Mountain minigame. The other 2 gives lots of kaching , equipment and materials. We can come back for more with a stronger army later.

First, I want the minigame.

The 3 cannons will have a lot to say in the beginning. After they finish talking, I'd have to fight the first cannon. Upon defeating the cannon, it allowed me to go through to open a box which contains the Kimpon cap. The game ends here.

I can come back again for level 2 and 3 later. Now, I would want to go and clear other maps first.

Army: same as previous stage.
Time taken: 00:05:12

Patapon 2 - Training: Juju Jungle Course

Let's move back a little and go back to the Juju Jungle. If I can pass the 2nd obstacle, I can get the Pakapon cap for the tree minigame. Let's go!

Army: Lazy already to type. See picture. If you do not have enough materials to make, can hunt for more. Nonetheless, let's try to see if we can get the Pakapon cap. We can get lots of materials from the tree minigame too.





Time taken: 00:02:00

Yes, and I got the Pakapon cap.

Patapon 2 - Defenders of the Mater Sprout

Now, we are going to really fight Dodonga. It's going to drop the Mater Sprout!

There it is! Pata Pata Pata Pon!






Army: Hero Yaripon, 3 basic yaripons
Time taken: 00:01:04

That was fast! Haha..

After returning to Patapolis, the Mater Sprout is revived. Now we can start making more Tatepons and Yaripons.

Patapon 2 - Destiny on Nanjaro Hill

We are going for our first boss fight. Not really one, but u get to see a boss.

At the start of the stage, bring down the tombstone and obtain the Chaka drum. I learnt the defend command - Chaka Chaka Pata Pon.

Moving further, I see this Hero patapon under a stone. It reminds me of the Monkey God - Sun Wukong. Haha..





Go ahead to try to bring down the stone, and Dodonga will appear. Remember to use the 'defend' song. Very soon, the big stone will be eliminated and Hero will help to kill Dodonga.

I just found out that, even if your 3 patapons die, it doesn't matter. You actually don't even need to fight when Dodonga comes out.

The stone will be destroyed by Dodonga, and Hero will throw a stone at it. Dodonga then retreats and the stage ends.

Dodonga will drop Dodonga Egg Lv 1.

After we return to Patapolis, we are asked to name our Hero. I called him Hiro. My Hero!

Army: 3 basic Yaripons
Time taken: 00:03:49

Patapon 2 - Exploring the Juju Jungle

This stage is also relatively easy.

Go through it and I found the Chaka song and the Tatepan memory. What I need to do next will be to get the Mater Bud from Dodonga.

Army: 3 basic Yaripons
Time taken: 00:04:13

Patapon 2 - Next Steps

After I sign the Oath, I've to tell them my name. I'm going to call it "Meoo".






After which the whole lot of prelude shit will start. I'm not going to take picture of it. Just follow the instructions and I receive the Pata drum from a Patapon that had protected it with his life.

Then I was taught to move forward using the Pata Pata Pata Pon command, and find Meden along the way.

Meden brought me to a place called Patapolis, and show me the Obelisk where we'll be doing most of our fighting and quests.

I'm also using the Patapon 2 Walkthrough by deathfisaro to guide me along. You can find his guide by googling it.

I do not copy word for word from his guide. Every word in here will be typed by me as I play the stages. And at times, I'd mention verbal advise from my friends, which I do not know where they got the information from. Thus, I'd be unable to credit the original author for it.

Let's start! Pata Pata Pata Pon!

Patapon 2 - Before You Start

I'm starting Patapon 2 again, without the Patapon 1 game data.

Like the first game, I'd have to sign an oath first before starting the game.

Here it goes.... Kekekeke...

Patapon Oath
------------------

I hereby pledge to honour and keep my promise to be the Great Leader of the Patapons and help them reach Earthend.

I will not stray from my goal, even in face of death or great perill. Even at moments of weakness, I will keep the beat and feel the rhythm of the earth.

From this point forward, I promise to keep my pledge and take this drum of courage and be the Mighty Leader I was meant to be...

"This is my oath."


Hahaha... Just like others have knit-a-long and quilt-a-long sessions. Shall we have a play-a-long? Let me know where you are updating your gameplay 'diary'. Haha.. This is going to be fun.

写华文的好吗？ 哈哈哈哈。。。

神明的契约书

－－－－－－

唔以抵达世界的尽头为目标

立誓成为PATAPON的神明

即便 对节奏没有自信

或是 在途中 想要半途而废时

亦会绝对坚持到底

唔保证遵守此契约

化身PATAPON的神明

手执勇气之太鼓

。。。特此立誓。。。

Patapon

I have to say Patapon has been my favourite game on PSP.

I had completed or replayed Patapon 1 for at least 3 times. And I managed to load the Patapon 1 game data into Patapon 2. Recently, I purchased the Chinese version of the game too.

Although, I've not completed Patapon 2 yet. I had restarted it umpteen times. Now, a friend is asking me to start over again without the Patapon 1 game data!

Should I? And then I can start to blog about it at every stage. And let it be kind of a mini guide.

But it's not going to be a very good one as I most probably will not be utilizing the most effective army.

If you do not mind reading crap guides, you might want to stay tuned for mine.

Bicycle

I bought a bicycle last week. I was at the bicycle shop with my brother and sister in law. They wanted to buy a bike for cycling around with the baby. So after they had chosen their bike and the shop owner was helping them to fix the baby chair on, I also looked around and saw this bike.




And in the end I bought it. It's a cheap bike. After discount, it's only $120.

I cycled it from Yishun to Bishan yesterday and was exhausted. Guess because I didn't exercise for too long a time.

This morning I went out cycling with my friends, using the Park Connector from Bishan all the way to somewhere in Kallang. As the overhead bridge there did not have the bike friendly slope beside the staircase (and cheap bikes are HEAVY!), I had to forgo the thought of going up the bridge. So, we turned and go to a coffee shop at Potong Pasir for a drink instead. After which, we used Braddell Road and headed back to Bishan.

It was raining this morning!! I think I should sell away this bike before it turns rusty. Hahaha..

Nafi says a $300-400 bike should be good enough. Hmmm.. Sounds good. That's the budget I've in my mind. Not more than $400. Hehe...

We'll use this bike for awhile first and see how. At least a better bike won't become rusty if I don't use it for a long time.

Redang Trip 25-28 April 2010

♥ 25 April 2010 ♥

Finally, the planned Redang trip!!

We left Singapore at 10pm on 25 Apr. The coach ride was for 10 hours. We do get toilet breaks in between but I've decided not to use the toilets after I went to the one at the Singapore Custom. I just super hate public toilets!! They stink big time!

So, for majority of the night trip, we were all fast asleep. Ocassionally, hearing the horn and coaches that travel on the other lane in opposite direction.

♥ 26 April 2010 ♥

We arrived at the jetty at about 8am in the morning. The boat to Redang will arrive at 930am. Woah! We had 1.5 hours more and there was no canteen in sight. It soon started to rain. What a way to start our trip.


The boat ride took slightly more than an hour. I had myself prepared, and took a motion sickness tablet before boarding the boat. Majority of the time, I had my eyes closed so as to reduce the effects of motion sickness. My friends all closed their eyes too!! The boat was rocking left and right!! When we open our eyes, it really look sooo scary. It's because of the rain, it caused the sea to be rougher!

Then we heard some aunties and uncles....oooooiiiiirrrrrrrkkkk.. Hahaha.. Did you guess it right? They were holding plastic bags in their hands and their faces were buried in the bags. Better close my eyes and don't look so much!

In the middle of the sea, we had to change to another boat... hmm.. so troublesome one?? Anyway, we reached the island safely and the rain has already stopped.

At the Welcome Room at Laguna Redang Resort, we had to attend a briefing. The presenter was rather funny. After which, we proceeded to the resort lobby for our Welcome Drink, and check-in.

Immediately after check-in, the first thing we do is.....EAT!! Lunch buffet is served. The food was really good.

After that, it's about 2.30pm, we decided to join the 3pm snorkelling trip. Went to rent our snorkelling gear at RM30 for each person, which consists of 1 life jacket, and 1 snorkelling goggle.

First snorkelling trip after so many years. The last time I went snorkelling was at Phuket and I didn't really enjoy myself due to the sea-sickness!! Was vomiting until my face turned green.

It is so fun!! We fed fish with bread. They'll keep swimming to us as long as we have bread. We saw many colourful fish, which I dunno how to recognize any of them.

Soon, it was time to go back. We headed to the swimming pool first to wash away the salt water on our body. Just to make sure that we were cleaner before we step into our rooms again.

We bathed and rested for awhile only!! And it's DINNER time. Buffet again..... I tried to be healthy and had a big plate of salad in front of me, so that I can keep munching on vegetables while I nom nom on other irresistable food.

After dinner, we decided to go for a walk. Lassie's brother was saying there are other resorts along the beach and we can take a long walk and take a look at the other resorts. We were happy to know that Laguna Redang Resort is one of the busier resorts. The other resorts were like so quiet.

Of course we didn't forget to take some photographs when we see anything interesting.

After the walk, we headed to the little house where 夏日摸摸茶(starring Sammi Cheng and Richie Ren) was filmed, to take some photographes. It is now a gift shop, selling many cutie stuff, toys and souvenirs.

We then called it a night as we'd have to wake up early the next morning to go for breakfast and then the 9.30am snorkelling trip.


♥ 27 April 2010 ♥

We woke up at 7.30am to get ready to go for breakfast at 8am. Arrghhh.. do we have to wake up sooo early? We are on holiday! Yes... you have to..as you need to go for the snorkelling trip at 9.30am.

As usual, it's BUFFET!

Then we were off to the jetty for the briefing. Today, we are going to the Marine Park. Again... feeding fishes. We can also take underwater photographs if we want to. Instead of getting the staff of the resort to take for us, and buying the photographs from them. We decided to rent our own underwater camera to take some underwater photographs. It costs RM100 for a day. At the end of the day, they will burn the images into a CD for us.

Ok... here we are at Marine Park. We alighted at the jetty and walked to the beach. Left our things at a table.. and off we went into the water to feed the fishes. This time, I didn't wear my life jacket, just brought it into the water with me, and used it to keep my bread above the water. Hahahaha...

I tried feeding the fish while holding on the the bread so that the fish will come nearer and eat from my hands. They were soooo fast, and one of them accidentaly bit my finger. OUCH!! Bloooood... Will sharks come? Hahahahaha..

We then swam further out and went under the jetty. The current was rather strong at times, but we managed well. It's so much better with the life jacket! We were able to quickly dive into the water and take some quick shots. We had a great time here as the water is much more clearer and less salty than the place yesterday.

Soon, it was time to go back again... for LUNCH! Oh... again.. it's buffet. Every meal is buffet, we are growing fat. But we said to ourselves, don't worry, we are burning all the calories from the snorkelling trips. Hahaha..

After lunch, what did we do again? Rest... and then of course it's another snorkelling trip. This time, the place is pretty nearby. It only took 15 minutes to arrive.

Again, we fed fish... and it's getting a little bit boring. While we were swimming, we felt like we kicked on something... YeeekS!!! I got a scare. When I took a look, I realise that the corals were there! The water is too shallow or what? For the rest of the time, I had my feet close to my body, except when I was sure the water was deep enough for me to let go of my legs.

Before the staff told us that it's 'time's up', we decided to go back up on the boat to rest. And took a little nap before everyone else came back up on the boat.. and we are all going back to the resort.. for what? Getting ready for Dinner of course!! We are having BBQ Dinner tonight. So exciting~~~

However, we were rather disappointed. The BBQ didn't have any prawns, mussels...etc. We were expecting seafood!!! Like lobsters, prawns, crabs, mussels. But what we had were beef, lamb, chicken wings....

OK.. so, after we had our dinner, we went to have a walk around.. bought some titbits and went back to our rooms to pack up for the next morning. We are coming back to Singapore!!!

♥ 28 April 2010 ♥

Next morning, after the buffet breakfast, we cleared the room and checked out. The boat ride back was very smooth, and there was no need to change boats in the middle of the sea. When we reached the jetty, the coach is already waiting for us.

We then said Good Bye to Redang and Terengganu and on the way back to Singapore.

I would said the trip was rather fun. Our coaches were very comfortable. Even with those 10-hour rides, we didn't feel too tired at all.

[Photos will be uploaded later. Sorry for the delay].

Updates sooooon

I'll be updating this blog soon! What - Redang Trip 25-28 April. Stay tuned.

Will also download GIMP and learn to use it to do editing to the photo. Cropping, watermarks, brighten up, tiling them, etc.

Is all this actually necessary? Anyway.... Just want to try it out and see how. Here's a preview of Redang!
