Now things are getting interesting.��

IGN eyes on trailer and screens

A lone warrior chopping through an army of robotic warriors with an outsized Cloud Strife-like energy sword. Colossal war machines advancing though a misty canyon, shooting anything that moves. The few remaining human defenders hiding behind simple wooden shields that are no match for high-energy weapons. Welcome to the world of Monado.��


The debut trailer for Monado: Beginning of the World premiered today at E3: 2009, and first impressions for the new Wii RPG are that the beginning is going to be pretty exciting. Things kick off with that canyon-set battle, revealing more and bigger enemies with an interesting steampunk design. Things likely don't end well for our lone warrior, as we soon segue to a young blonde hero discovering that energy sword - now inert - only to see it flash blindingly to life the moment he picks it up. Your standard JRPG Hero's Journey (tm) is definitely in full effect here, with just a dash of King Arthur.��


Gameplay appears to be open-world, where you'll traverse lush jungles, glowing forests, climb sheer walls, and encounter the crumbling remains of a conquered people. It looks nicely textured and details pop, animating at what looks like a smooth 30 fps.��


Players will pick up two partners in their travels, and while combat initially looks turn-based, we saw all three party members attacking simultaneously. Transitions into combat are completely seamless; characters approach enemies, draw weapons, and it's on. One scene showed your team (wielding much smaller edged weaponry) surrounding a lizard-man enemy, who didn't make much of a dent in their lifebars before it was downed. A much larger lizard-man (a good twenty feet tall) and giant mutant crab monster probably fared better.

I'm right near the end, where the thingy and thingy start moving.

Two guys in Colony 9 asked for the red pollen orb so I went to Frontier village but I'm not sure where to find it. I am convinced that Cherri is glitching up my village quests, I have several quests unfinished because I am supossed to go talk to Cherri, but the woman won't close the quests out so I can get a green crown on the board.

Also, her aunt doesn't help at all, Rasha.

When you complete the game do you keep your stats or not? I hear you can keep some armour and stuff? Can you even use some of the stuff if your character is so weak in the beginning of the game anyway?

That quest is not the Red Pollen sidequest.

The read pollen sidequest ends in Alcamoth with hilarious consequences. But it seems that you cannot finish it anymore. Can you mention the name of the quest, where Cherri is glitching up?

Also you can find the Red Pollens in  Satori Marsh. It is in the Noppon refuge where you did the sidemissions for that Noppon there.

After you finish the game, you get to keep your level. Tons of equipment, items and gems. For instance I am level 99 with affinity between characters maxed out in my game+.

Cherri is glitching up several quests in Frontier village which wont complete. They say give this to Cherri or go talk to Cherri. She wont close out the quests and even though she has a massive ! mark over her head she won't give me the new quest either. I can't check right now but I'll check over the weekend.

It's great that you can keep your level, it will make it a pleasure to play back the campaign just to experience the story and cutscenes again.

Who is in your team and what is your level?

Level 75

Tried using my default team of Reyn, Shulk and Sharla.

Sharla gets targeted and dies a lot.

So I tried with Shulk, Melia and Dunban, not much luck either.

Is this that boss you had trouble with and had to use the arts with the bar icon through them or something?

I tried using purge because it's a telethia but it didn't do much either.

Yes it was the boss I had trouble with. Use ether attacks. Melia, Riki and Shulk for his Monado arts will be your best bet. If your AI team is walking in the green goo, call them back. Use the force topple move with Melia (spear break and starlight kick) and then use the her ether attacks. Use wind first, then lighting, then summon copy. Then discharge everything. This will do a ton of damage. Also make level 6 electricity gems to increase the damage of the lighting attacks. Also use level 6 agility, ether defense and physical defense gems, Melia will draw a ton of aggro. Try to keep loritia toppled.

Melia sucks when the CPU is controlling her, so you have to do it yourself. If you still have trouble to sidequest to level up and get topple up and topple plus gems.

Riki also has a ton of ether atttacks like Freezinate and Burninate and some poison attacks.

Riki and Shulk. Seriously GG, I do not know why you keep asking questions. You never listen.

Here I will try it again. Do not use Sharla, she only slows down the game. Reyn is useless too.

I need like a heal blast move that heals everyone at once. Only sharla has that Sad

I pretty much ignored melia the whole game. Now i have to work on her skills and assign shit and get used to playing as her. I tried using her before, she does all these summon moves that dont appear to do anything, then you have to wait for her moves to recharge.

No you don't.

You ignored the best character in the game.

Tutorials are in the game, use them.
