Any tips in playing this game

[supermichael]

I am thinking of getting this game on Steam, but I have never played any games likes it before. It looks like we build things and gather material.

Then at certain times monsters can attack, which the character fight it.

This game is usually straightforward, so you don't really need tips. The only thing I can really say is don't bother personalizing an island until you're done with the story for that island. The only other tips I can really give are ones that are only able to be given for very specific scenarios. I can if you want. My Discord is:

Oh! One thing I forgot, while I haven't really tried keyboard, controller works really nicely.

This game is an adventure RPG with some level of Maincraft and Tower Defense elements.

It's cute, and a good addendum to the lore of Dragon Quest II.

I don't have a discord account, I never used discord before. So the game is easy to play.
So I should focus on story mode and then focus on personalizing my islands.

I will wait until there is a offer.

I would certainly suggest playing the Jumbo Demo if you don't really know what the game offers besides Minecraft-style building and monster fights. For a demo it's quite beefy (up to about 1/6 of full game) and shows off a lot of the features for why it has generally very positive ratings and reviews.

If you're a few hours into the demo (admittedly, it starts slow for about the first hour) then you'll know if this game appeals to you or not to consider purchasing. It is on sale every 2-3 months so generally not a bad idea to wait.

Very easy to play straight forward game with puzzles works great with controller.
100% super relaxing game.

The only tip you need is "have fun"

The monsters are not difficult. You can't die.

There will be 2 places/stages you won't be able to go back once you completed the scenario. First one is the jail stage. Second one is the last stage.

What i want to say is, in the last stage, you will be going back to the ship that's from the beginning of the whole game. There is a sword hidden in a pot or something. If you miss that, you won't be able to get it anymore, and your item list will never be completed.

A ghost will be chasing you if you don't sleep. There is one you can be-friend with in the last stage. I missed that and I have never seen anyone got that, so I am not sure if that's a temp member or 's one of the member will come to the island after game.

Generally not difficult. There are some monsters that are meant to be a bit more of a challenge and can rough you up and even kill you. But there is no penalty for death - you simply restart at your base or another predetermined respawn spot. It does not even bounce you back to your previous save point.

I guess a better way to say it is you can't really lose the game. There is no Game Over screen, it'll give you as many chances as it takes to tackle fights. The game is quite far onto the easy side of the scale.

This weapon can be acquired post-game through a Hargonaut monster drop, but its a 1 in 128 chance so it takes some time.

The Seed of Life and three Yggdrasil Leaves are the only real missable items on that level. The weapons and armor are all available as monster drops.

It is a temporary member. It is not available post-game (except maybe by save state hacks.)

Thanks bro.

Feel relief after half a year knowing that i actually didn't miss a member.

Got the sword but never knew it's also a monster drop. Talking about sword, some swords have special moves by holding the attack key and release. The fire sword shooting fire ball is quite fun to play.

How many of the seed of life and Yggdrasil leaves are there total actually in the whole game? Thinking I must have missed some.

You mentioned about Yggdrasil leaves remind me of the Yggdrasil dew given by the King during scenario, that should be able to keep obtaining it as long as you don't have that in items. It can be bought with gratitude after though (or not?)but still it would be nice if i knew that ahead.

Ten Seeds of Life - three on each of the first three major story islands, one on the last. The last is the only missable one as you can't return without hacks, but its in such an obvious location few players miss it.

Yggdrasil Leaves are effectively infinite because the Orc King at Furrowfield will drop them. As far as chests, there's one on each of the first three main story islands, and three spread across the final island. Unlike the Seed of Life, the Yggdrasil Leaves in the final area are well hidden and often missed.

Nice. I heard about the orc king will drop them too but for me it only dropped once at the first time and was dropping tomato seeds since then. Now I would want to go back and fight some more.

I think you have to have none in inventory to get extra drops. Leave any you have in a chest at IOA. Same trick works for Yggdrasil Dew.

You still have to wait several game days at Furrowfield for it to respawn between kills. Wasting time on another island (like IOA) doesn't count - time only turns on an island while builder is on it.

Wow this clarified all my doubt bro. Thank you so much :D
