ADVENTURE HINTS
The initial flow of the game
In hot pursuit of an armored knight who had suddenly attacked
him, Sword finds himself lost in a strange clock tower. Upon
opening a book lying closed in a room, Sword is dazzled by a
fierce ray of light that the book emits. He is knocked out. Some
time later, Sword regains consciousness to see that the book is
gone. Stranger still, he leaves the room and walks into a corridor
to find that…the stairway that he previously climbed has vanished.
What sort of a place has he stumbled into?
Clock Tower Dungeon
This is a practice dungeon. The dungeon contains many helpful
signboards with essential game play information written on
them. On the top floor of the dungeon, Sword finds the knight
whom he chased during the opening sequence of the game.
Sword must defeat the knight. If Sword fails, he will restart from
the room where he opened the book.
A new Piece arrives – Enter the Fire Mountain Cavern
Sword watches as a new piece falls from the sky and begins to
wonder if the mysterious old man wasn’t altogether talking nonsense.
Filled with curiosity, Sword sets off towards the first dungeon;
the Fire Mountain Cavern. But before entering the dungeon,
Sword had better buy some equipment and items from
the store. Don’t forget that Sword can only carry up to 4 items
into a dungeon.
Sword receives the Hero’s Crest (Sword’s House)
After clearing the practice dungeon, Sword meets the mysterious
old man for the first time. Sword is told that he is a hero who
will protect the world. In a lavish display of generosity the old
man has even prepared a house and a butler for Sword. From
now on, Sword will keep his indispensable things here (such as
the Hero’s Crest). Without the Hero’s Crest, neither Sword, nor
any of the other main characters can enter a dungeon.
EMOTION INDICATORS
There are countless monsters roaming around the dungeons.
They may be monsters, but monsters have feelings too, you
know! If you can master how to read these Emotion Indicators,
you will be on your way to winning Time Stalkers.
Conversation Mark
This means that this monster is
chatting to his allies. They are
discussing forming parties, or
reviving fallen allies.
Anger Mark
This means that the monster is
angry and has a high level of
aggression. If your character
enters the monster’s sector, the
chances are very high that it
will instigate a battle.
Music Mark
This means that the monster is
in a good mood and has a low
level of aggression. Even if your
character enters the monster’s
sector, it won’t instigate a
battle.
Sleep Mark
This means that the monster is
sleeping. The monster isn’t
thinking about anything and
won’t instigate a battle. It is very
easy to sneak pass such a
monster.
Star Mark
This sign means that the
monster is suffering the
effects of an curse.
Heart Mark
This means that this monster is
very curious and wants to
approach the main
character. Such monsters
won’t instigate battles.
Surprise Mark
This mark is shown when the
main character is discovered
or when the character is
surprised.
“Well, let me see…” Mark
This means that a character
has just stepped on a trap.
Sweat Mark
This means that the monster is
hurrying. A monster will sweat
when the main character is
running too fast and leaving it
behind.

YOGURT
Yogurt’s role and abilities are completely
unknown and his true character is
enshrouded in mystery. Surely he has a
terribly important role to play in Time
Stalkers. Could it also be that he serves
no use whatsoever?
YOGURT Time Stalkers Q&A
Q1. I can’t register magic spells and skills.
There are limits on the number of magic spells and skills that you can register. Your
characters will learn more skills and magic spells as their titles increase, the result
being that not all of the skills and magic spells can be registered. If this happens, you
should select which skills and spells you want to use in the dungeon before you enter.
Q2. I can’t use equipped equipment, or registered magic or skills.
If your character’s parameters don’t meet the specifications to “master” an
equipment item, magic or skill, you will not be able to use these things to their full
potential – even if you have equipped/registered them. For more details, read LEVEL
UPS AND MASTERY (®P28 of the Time Stalkers Manual).
Q3. I can’t “move” during battles.
To move, you must first acquire then equip your character with some boots. Before
fighting, equip your character at the Item Command Menu (®P22 of the Time
Stalkers Manual). Also, if your character’s basic parameters do not meet the
specifications to “master” the boots (® P28 of the Time Stalkers Manual), you will not
be able to use them.
Q4. I can’t enter the dungeon because I have too many items.
Sword can only carry 4 items into a dungeon (Rao and Nigel can carry more). Level
up in a dungeon, and the number of items that your character can carry will
increase.
Q5. After leaving a dungeon, the number to the right of an item (+9) has
disappeared.
An item which has a number such as “+9” attached to it has the advantage that it will
allocate bonus points to the parameters. This indicator and its consequent increased
parameter values will disappear when your character leaves the dungeon.
Q6. My monsters vanished when I came back to the town.
If you are defeated in a dungeon, any unregistered monsters in your party will vanish.
Registered monsters will be returned to their capsules.
Q7. How can I get mini-games?
You can buy mini-games at the Souvenir Store, or the Convenience Store. Take one to
the Monster House in Fountain Square and you can download it to your VMU. The
game will vanish once you have downloaded it. To download it again, you will have
to buy a new copy of the mini-game from a store.
