different with more game play _______________ / 2a.Suggestions \ -------------------- Suggested for catching Strong Insects/Hard to Find Insects /compewtore\ ***************************************************************************** On Vedan, go to the Observation deck where you can see the moon very clearly Set a trap in the area with a Stella crystal. Chance of catching a CRESCENT BEETLE. ***************************************************************************** /MrXero\ ***************************************************************************** Juraika I found all these when you're just entering the Road to Burkaqua, which is close to the Swamp - Big Staggy (2nd Trap) - Lady Beetle (3rd Trap) - Buzzelina (3rd Trap, used Primeval Beef) - Stingbee (Same as above) - Mantis (3rd Trap, Hard Candy) - Slaying Mantis (Same as above) - Super Mantis (Same as above) Vedan I found these on the Observation Deck, Spaceport next to old man and bench - Hopper (2nd Trap, Stella Crystal) - Butterfly Insector (3rd Trap, Stella Crystal) - Dragonfly Insector (Same as above) Zerard Bazoo Beetle (Rosencaster Prison, 1st/2nd Trap? Ultra Spicy Pepper) ***************************************************************************** /deity_shadow\ ********************************************************************** There are Orion Beetles on the star god alter in juraika, Trap I and III with bananas is what I used to get them ********************************************************************** /Strategy Guide\ ***************************************************************************** 1) On top of the Leo King's Altar on Juraika. Place a Insector Trap III on TOP of the altar itself, with a Ruby as bait. You will catch a Level 5 Faerie. Faeries heal all adjacent insectors. 2) On top of the Great Table in the ancient ruins on Rosa (after you fight Seed for the first time at the end of Chapter 7). I used an Insector Trap I with Primeval Beef as bait. You'll catch a Level 5 Big Staggy. It may take a couple of tries. Since Staggys appear to rule in the Insector fights, you can problably just farm up 4-5 of them ***************************************************************************** ********************** *3.General Hints/Tips* INCOMPLETE ********************** General hints and tips for catching and raising your Insects _________________ / 3a.Food Bonuses \ --------------------- These items when feed to the insectrons give these lasting stat bonuses I.(Health) --------------- Mellow Banana +5 to Health --------------- Lapis Lazuli +5 to Health --------------- Nabula Opal +5 to Health --------------- II(Strength) --------------- Ruby +2 to Strength --------------- Firestone + 2 to Strength --------------- Primeval Beef +2 to Strength --------------- III.(Defense) --------------- Pirate's Grog + 2 to Defense --------------- Diamond 2+ to Defense --------------- IV.(Multiple Stats) ------------------------------------------------ Sanchez Fruit + 3 to Health +1 to Strength +1 to Defense ------------------------------------------------ Yago Milk +1 to Health + 1 to all Resistances, -1 to Confusion ------------------------------------------------ Stella Crystal +2 to Health +1 to Defense +1 to all Resistances , -1 to Cut and Explosion ------------------------------------------------ Edensia +2 to Health +1 to Strength +1 to all Res, -1 to Throw and Poison -------------------------------------- Seventhmoon +1 to Health +1 to all Res, -1 to Knockback -------------------------------- V.(Resistances) -------------------- Sticky Gum +2 to Knockback Res -------------------- Smoked Rainbow Newt +2 to Cut Res -------------------- Hard Candy +2 to Throw Res -------------------- Electric Eel +2 to Explosion Res -------------------- Coffee Beans +2 to Confusion Res -------------------- Ultra Spicy Pepper +2 to Poison Resis ---------------------------------------------------------- VI.(Feed) ---------------------------------------------------------- Battle Feed Gives exp, matures Insectors and gives random stat boost as far as I've seen, or maybe it's resistance increases depending on the type of Insector it's fighting. ---------------------------------------------------------- Feed Formula Allows two Insectors to mate, must be Adult stage. A new Insector in exchange for the two you're mating ---------------------------------------------------------- VII.(Breeding) /Strategy Guide\ ************************************************************************* 1. The new larva will match the family of the highest rank parent. 2. If both parents are the same rank then the male dominates. 3. If the dominant parent is rank 8 then the larva will always be rank 8 ************************************************************************* /kchendz\ ***************************************************************************** There are 8 ranks for every bug type, except for the unique bug, dark emperor (?). You can get the strongest ranks of the basic bug through breeding. Note that I said basic, because I'm not sure how many unique bugs are out there. For example, bugs that people been wanting to catch through traps such as Pegasus, Poseidon, or Orion can all be obtained through breeding. You breed a female adult bug to another male adult bug, you get a new bug that is one rank higher than the higher ranking bug of the two mating bugs. For example: if you breed a rank 4 itshorse bug to a rank 2 mantis, your resulting bug will be a rank 5 itshorse. You will never get a different breed of bug than the mating bugs. In another word, your new bug will always be in the same bug family(type) of the higher ranking mating bug. The basic stats (health, strength & defense) of the new bug will always be a little lower than the stronger one of two mating bugs. The best way to get to the highest rank of a bug is to mate it with a random lower level bug. What I mean by that is, you don't want to mate two high rank bugs. For example, if you breed a rank 6 itshorse bug to a rank 5 mantis, you will end up with a rank 7 itshorse. BUT if you breed a rank 6 itshorse to a rank 1 mantis, you will ALSO end up with a rank 7 itshorse. As you can see that it is better, cheaper and faster to breed the bug your want with a random low rank bug you catch out there. You can just go out there catch a random bug and feed it some fruits 5-7 times usually, and then mate it with the bug your want to raise to get a higher rank bug. One thing I want to clarify is that I'm not 100% sure if mating a Rank 4 with a Rank 3 will give you a Rank 7, but I'm pretty sure it won't. Another thing I want to point out is that, while the basic stats (health, strength & defense) of the new baby bug will not be higher than its parents when it was first born, but its resistance stats WILL be the minute it is born. I noticed that if you catch a new bug, if you're not sure if it is a high rank bug by its name, just look at its resistance stats. Higher rank bug will ALWAYS have higher minimum resistance stats than the lower rank one noticeably. For example, a rank 6+ bug usually have their resistance around 50 or higher compare to a rank 1 bug with resistances at 10-20. ***************************************************************************** ******************** *4.Acknowledgements* INCOMPLETE ******************** ************* *5.Copyright* ************* This guide may not be reproduced under any circumstances and is for private use only.
