Fleeting Flower Village

Image
14 Summer: When you enter, you will see a preview of a large purple blight. There are quite a few. There is a Frog on a little path to the left that gives Lunar Dumplings Recipe.  Some Wolves with blue coats attacked there. Red Wayside Shrine gives Raging Flame  Holy Heat Haze Talismans Lady General's Armour. Find a fork in the oath.  To the left: I used the Sacred Sword on a purple blightbloom on tbe ground but just passed on today.  In that spot a chest containing Crit Danage Maga II, RP Maga II. Also a Wild Bear that when defeated raised every one to Level 65 Go to the right to continue and fight a Mystic Neko. Ahead two purple blight blooms.  The one on the right is high indeed but you can reach it with a flame arrow. Go a little left and jump onto a grassy rock to aim at the second blightbloom with a flame arrow. Go forward to find a Frog on the left that gives Protein Stir-Fry Recipe and Protein Bowl Recipe When you go onto the arched bridge, a...

Preparing to Party, Bringing Kanata Back to Azuma, an Outline of the Timeline

On 13 Summer, I decided to move forward again with the Main Quest to save Azuma. This needs to be as precise as possible. My aim is as follows: to document the fastest path to victory. At the same time, I wanted to revive all the gods in time for the Fireworks Festival on the 20th of Summer.   This was accomplished on the night of the 17th and the Meeting of the Gofs was held at the Winter Shrine. For four days then, I left the Shrine at 6.00 a.m., went at once to the skies and spent all of my waking hours in combat, battling theough the dungeons. This means I rather neglected all other aspects of life during that period.  I was at Level 7 at least with most of the eligible candidates in Azuma.  The lowest were Iroha and Pilika at Level 5.  Iroha still asked if I wished to attend the Festival with her this morning on the 18th.. I was working fairly steadily on raising the Levels of all four Villages.  On the night of the drunken Party that set events in mot...

Fireworks Festival

20 Summer: Ordinarily, the ability to invite some one begins on the 17th but you can wait until the 20th to make an invitation.  I do not know if any one you are able to invite ever refuses.  I will teat that.  What I do know is that botb Subaru and Kanata at Level 3 neither asked me nor did I have the option to ask them.  I had hoped to have been able to see the event with Subaru... another year or another life. As for others... I am seeing what the Event will be like with Ikaruga but not sabing the result.  As time permits, I will use the same file to ask others. What wad a little ironic is that I have experienced three majot events yhis morning but none will be saved. The fiemrst was whwn I walked out of the Spribg Dragon Shrine.  I thought it would be an event with Subaru but iy was an evwbt witb Murasame wherein the yoma finally shows herself as a rather sexy cat type.  Murasame does not hesitate until I tell him I do not want him to die, that it ...

The Dragon's Tomb

Last updated on 21 February by correcting typos! The Dragon's Tomb:  I  had written the walkthrough for the Rear Entrance and the  progress to the Save Point and Ura.  I cannot see a walkthrough for what follows.  This is taken now from my very first game where I had no idea what I was doing.   It was such a mess that I put it aside to start a new game.  Now I have gone back to make repairs and improvements.  There are no time limits after all!  Here I did not have a chance to experience some of the last bonding events with Kai until late in the 1st year. In this game I saw that, no matter how high his Bonding Level, I needed to advance the main narrative if I wished to court him seriously.  It was on 21 Winter that I activated the ability to move forward to the next Bonding Event.  I could have done it sooner if I had pushed forward with the main narrative,  but I realised it made more sense to improve those aspects of th...

Revolt in the Underworld

Image
23 Summer: Curious duality here.  Woolby tells me I have a date with Kai at noon at the Summer entrance.  A few moments later, Kai rudely awakens me by actually smacking me,  calls me his 'loyal minion' and when I question that: Kai: Don't you remember when I added you to my squad? Me: No.  Should I? He tells me we need  to go at once.  Fortunately I can ignore him...  i want to go on our date first. In a different file, I choose the second option when he smacks me and it is very amusing: Kai:  (Get up already!). Come on, rise and shine! Me: Ow! Then:  Babe?   Wait, is this a dream? Kai: I wish!  I came all the way here to get you, Sleeping Beauty! Woolby:  What’s up?  Is there some kind of emergency? Kai: You bet your ass!  We’ve got big trouble in the Underworld! Woolby:  Uh-oh!  How big are we talking? Kai: A revolt broke out.  One of my retainers just let me know.  Apparently the place is total...

The Autumn Holy Shrine, Island of the Drowned, Palace of Serendipity

17 Summer: Kurama came to me in a dream last night begging me to find the Autumn Shrine to revive both him and Kai.  It was precisely what I intended to do. The Autumn Holy Shrine is in the Palace of Serendipity on the Island of the Drowned. Too confusing.  I had activated another Bonding quest with Fubuki late last night so the Gold Pin kept landing on Winter Village instead.   Reaching the Save Point for the Island of the Drowned can be  tricky.  Moreover somehow little Suzu had insinuated herself into my Party last night for that concert of hers and I am stuck with her now! Enter the Palace of Serendipity. This will not be a good walkthrough now.  I will have to go through this all again. It is a place like the Mechanical Maze with multiple switches to unlock doors.  All sorts of moving platforms and gears.  I got to the Holy Shrine by some miracle before the end of the day, fought and defeated Clarice.  Surprisingly Suzu was quite he...

Gifts for Discerning Monsters

It appears that no one really completed a guide for gifting Monsters in Guardiqns of Azuma.  People wrote down the lists of 'drops' or products they obtain, but did not pursue the actual lists in any comprehensive fashion. Part of the problem is, in my experience anyway, that every Monster is unique.  A gift that works to send one King Wooly to your barn may fail with the next. Be that as it may, I now will give my results here: Poison Spider at Dragon's Tomb:  tamed with a Strong Fang Silver Steed on Island: tamed with Strong Fur King Wooly: tamed with Medium Fur Iron Tengu on Glacial Island: Quality Fletch Moon Mushsprite: Heavenly Kingdom: Sleep Powder Golden Gatling in Heqvenly Kingdom: Olive Oil Grizzled Bear Frostfang took Quality Ckaw Buffsmoo Frosrtfang took Strong Horn  Red Oni Archer Fleeting Flower took Strong Cloth Spider took Quality Thread Mystic Neko took Quality Cloth Goldblossom Mine: Blue Oni guard rejected Quality Horn but took Quality Cloth
