Tips and Tricks from the EoDMeisters Themselves!

Recycle

In Apple Market: Kick the can into the Bakery to win 1000 Zenny each time.

Rebuild the city

After the bulldozer attack, you can donate money to rebuilt the houses. It will be useful later.

Furnish the Museum

Talk to the painting girl, buy a lipstick in the woman's clothes shop in Apple Market and give it to the painting girl. The Museum will open.

Give eight items (Old Bone, Old Doll, Old Shield, Shiny Object, Red Shiny Stone, Antique Bell, Giant Horn and Old Heater) to the museum and you'll earn the Prizm Crystal from a kid in the exposition.

Help the kids building their club house

Find the Club House in a corner of the Yass Fields and enter the kids gang.

Get the Pick from the working man near the City Hall and give it to the kids.

Get the Saw by talking to the same working man and looking into a garbage pail near a green house in Downtown.

Once the Club House in finished, get the Marlwolf Shell inside it.

Cure the hospital girl

Talk to the hospital girl and to her nurse. Then to the Mayor and give her 15,000 Zenny to help the girl. Talk to the girl again to get the Flower Pearl.

Defuse the bombs

Talk to the Inspector to learn about the bombs. Get into Downtown to find two bombs: One on a roof and one in the streets on the east part of town.

Talk to the Inspector to learn about the lost cash. Talk to these people in this order: Electronic Store, Bakery, Library, Kid near the north-east soda machine in downtown, Kid with red hair near the library and search the garbage pail near him. You'll be rewarded with the Arm Supporter.

Rescue the sick lady

Talk to the Grocer in Apple Market, find his wife in the Cardon Forest and take her to the hospital. Talk to her husband again and you'll get the Sun-light.

Watch TV in the Flutter to learn about the bank robbery. Go Downtown and shoot the red car with the Mega Buster. Pick up the trunk and give it to the Inspector. Go back to the Police Station and talk to the Inspector to receive 20,000 Zenny. You'll learn it wasn't a robbery after all, whoops!

Give it again to the kid and you'll receive theBroken Circuit. Find the Comic Book behind the Junk Shop in Yass Plains and give it to the kid and you'll receive the X Buster!

Tips from the Masters!...meaning, of course, us...

• When you first start the game, go to options and change the controls so that turning is done by the control pad (not the shoulder buttons). This makes the controls FAR smoother, and easier to use.
  
• Excellent battle technique (especially against doggie-bots): MooMoo discovered this while playing Armored Core, a somewhat different game with the exact same controls. If you strafe (go sideways) and turn at the same time, you circle. You can fire while doing this, making it the best way to fight most enemies and bosses. (Just orbit them, shooting!)
  
• Difficulty Levels- Beating the game allows you to access different diffculty levels. If you beat the game normally, start a new game w/o turning off your system. Now you can play in hard mode (enemies are 2x tougher). If you beat the game with a really short time, or in hard mode, you gain access to easy mode (start off w/ tons of really good crap, and money is worth more.. appears the island's ecmonomy has done better...).
  
• Shining Laser is the MOST powerful special weapon in the game, so investing alot of money in it is worth it.
  
• Be sure to get the drill arm. You need it to access alot of the underground areas, and get all of the items.
  
• Best place to earn money- Ahh...yes, this game has several RPG elements, including fighting repeatedly to get outrageous cash to upgrade yer weapons and armor. The best place to do this is in the Main Gate, where you can repeatedly fight the three big dogs, who give the most cash in the game.
  
• Data is loaded! On the flutter, talk to ol' Trigger, and ask "Why do I keep losing?." He'll give you 100 Zenny, and ask if you want more. Say no. He'll give you 1000. He'll ask again. Say yes to get 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, and 9000 Zenny. Keeee-ripes!
