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.

Hit the HQ option.
Maybe will be ported to the U
Started playing this today, I'm at Agnithara.
I want to wrap up some quests from Alcamoth but I have done them, but can't find the characters to talk to again. Alcamoth is a pain in the as, it's too big and the people you need to speak too are not marked on the map, only the mini map, and only when you are really close to them.
I noticed that I have 1 or 2 quests from previous areas to mop up. Peeling Kirchis etc.
I think I'm going to use that spreadsheet thing to tie up the loose ends then do Agnithara properly.
It is a big area, but the NPC only have two times night and day. The game really needed a better description where the NPC are, but I managed fine by walking around and see the ! pop up on the minimap. And you might want to finish Alcamoth and the Red Pollen sidequest in Frontier village. You are nearly at the point of no return when it comes to those sidequests.
I loaded up Melia with nothing but fast running agility gems but the area is so large it still takes ages to run across Alcamoth.
I don't remember the red pollen sidequest?
Because you have not done it yet. Go back to Frontier Village and do the pollen sidequests. By far the best sidequest chain in the game. The ending will make you shit your pants.
P.S. Melia is the best character in the game. I used here to defeat the big 5.
That spreadsheet you linked me too, it's just all the names and locations of people in the game and their quests?
I was looking for help on finding some enemies like Peeling Kirchesis but when I CTRL F-ed to find details or to find the "lost nopon" on Bionis leg it couldn't find any of it.
Can you be more specific? Maybe I can rememeber some details. Don't skimp on the details.
From memory, there is a nopon on the top level of Bionis leg that has lost his buddy. I don't know where his buddy is.
In Eryth Sea, a creature called Peeling Kirchis is on a hovering reef but only when there are shooting stars. I checked out the reef when there were shooting stars and nada.
In Mechonis field there are two enemies who are suppossed to be near the reactors but aren't.
In Fallen Arm I can't work out how to get to the power pipe ruins to find this oath sword but I have been there before somehow as it is filled in on the map.
Also on fallen arm there is suppossed to be some exhaust pipes I should find but they are not marked on the map and I cannot find them.
In Alcamoth mainly I have to find people to close out the quests.
I just found the Peeling Kirchesis on the spreadsheat. You need to look under unique monsters. He is on Hovering Reef 7.
Look around the lake under the great bridge. According the spreadsheat NW of Raquel Lake
Like I mentioned above Hovering Reef 7, you do not need shooting stars. The only unigue monster that appears during the meteor shower is Proper Bandaz in Secluded Island.
If the monster does not appear in Hovering Reef 7, it means that you have already killed it before you got the assignment. Save and reload your game until the unigue monster appears again. Peeling Kirchis is a Kromar, one of those Lizard people things.
Save and reload. Watch out the Mechonis field will close up soon. Finish all quests here. Check the spreadsheat under unique mmonster tab if you still can't find them there.
There is a switch in the ruins where Shulk and Fiora were sleeping. It will allow you to climb up. According to the spreadsheet it is Ulna passage.
Is that for the quest for that dude that does not grow? If so, check your quest log it might be either an enemy drop or an item you put in your collectepedia.
Thanks iga.
I knew two of them but still could not find them - lost nopon and peeling kirchesis. So some of the monsters may not appear if I have already beat them? That's a design flaw if you ask me.
The exhaust pipes aren't an item they are a location that I am suppossed to check out.
