The Bugaria Ultimate Explorer Guide - Quests, Collectables & More!

Hello! This is a guide made to be referenced while playing Bug Fables. If you have a question, this guide is your place to go! This guide covers most if not all the side-content in the game while also giving some tips I found useful by playing. Some of the information was provided by the Bug Fables Wiki so if you want more in-depth explanations, please check them out!

Welcome to Bugaria!

Hello fellow Bug Explorer! Welcome to the Bugaria Ultimate Explorer Guide! This guide is an overview of Bug Fables' Side-content, and is meant to be referenced when you are stuck or require a helping hand. I tried to cover every single question a player might ask but I might have missed something so just comment with any questions. If you are new, head on over to the Early Game Tips portion of the guide to start you off. I will try to be as spoiler-free as possible but some instances require me to mention things later in the game.

Early Game Tips

Here are some early game tips to help you out.

• Hard Mode awards you with badges everytime you defeat a boss. If you are not doing a Hard Mode run, they can be bought from the Traveling Caravan (The shop with the giant snail) after finishing the boss.
  
• Not all quests can be completed as soon as you get them, some require you to use abilities you can't get until later or go to an area you have no access to.
  
• The "Bug Me Not" medal can be found in the Ant Kingdom's Residential District. It is a very useful medal, specially in Hard Mode where you can potentially be overleveled for the area.
  
• Save your berries. Only spend if you need to, and save the rest to put in the bank. The bank gives interest every 30 minutes and can give you even MORE interest if you reach 500 berries in the bank. Money is scarce in the early game, and one of the best ways to gain money is locked till you finish Chapter 3 or even Chapter 5 if you don't wanna pay for early access.
  
• The most important thing to spend on is the Ant Tunnels. This cuts backtracking in half and is an extremely convient way to get to Sidequests.
  
• MP is extremely important in the late game so spend some levels on HP and TP at the beginning, and just spend the rest on MP.
  
• Level Grinding is non-existent as long as you fight almost every enemy in your way and complete any sidequests you have available to you.
  
• The Berry-Trader in Defiant Root has very useful stat-boosting items.
  
• Do not bother too much on the Cave of Trials or B.O.S.S. By the time you unlock them, you will either not have enough badges, MP, or progression to completely finish it.

Anyway, now for the Guide!

Post-Game

About the questgivers...

The quest givers are the hardest boss in the game. IT'S HARDER THAN THE GAMES' ACTUAL SUPERBOSS. You'll absolutely need so much preparation, it's crazy.
Here are some of the lovely things that make the boss such a lovely boss:
- COMPLETELY NEW STATUS EFFECT: Unable to use items.
- TEAM-WIDE PARTY WIPE.
- 3 Defense stat and 2 defense stat.
- BOTH are able to apply a buff that makes them take 2 turns.
- Revives one if the other is still alive.
- ALL ATTACKS INFLICT DEBUFFS

On the bright side, they ARE able to be inflicted with freeze. Just don't even bother doing this in HardMode.

Party Quests

Party Quests focuses around the 3 Party Members and their backstories. These are unlocked as you progress through the story and bestow upon you powerful moves.
These are the requests in the order they appear:

Leif's Request

Start Chapter 3

Use the Peculiar Gem to access Upper Snakemouth and complete the area. Then go to Muze's house.

Skill: Frost Bowling

Despite unlocking the quest in Chapter 3, it is impossible to finish the quest until you fight Chapter 4's Boss as he is the one that drops the Peculiar Gem required to get into Upper Snakemouth.
Upper Snakemouth is located behind the 2 big doors in Snakemouth Den (The ones you see open up during Chapter 1 after Kabbu drops). Use the Peculiar Gem on the stool to open it up.


Upper Snakemouth is a huge area, rivaling a chapter dungeon like the Golden Hills. It is filled with Zombie Enemies! Be prepared with items!

The boss for the dungeon is Zommoth, a giant zombie moth.



Here are a few tips to deal with it:

• Leif will be inactive for the first phase of the fight. He becomes active once Zommoth uses his huge laser move. However, retrying the battle allows you to have Leif active from the start.
  
• Leif will ALWAYS block the FIRST giant laser attack for the entire party. Use that to your advantage to deal damage instead of shielding or to heal during that turn.
  
• Freeze-locking the moth, like all other early bosses, is a very effective strategy.
  
• Zommoth's laser is kind of hard to block. Use Leif's Bubble Shield during the turn the moth charges up.

Finishing the quest allows you to use Frost Bowling, a very useful AOE skill that can help you in the Cave of Trials or just in general against groups of enemies.

It also unlocks the "The Truth" achievement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vi's Request

Complete Chapter 3

Talk to Jaune, a bee in Defiant Root's market, Ann in the Ant Kingdom plaza, and the toy seller on Metal Island. Chain trade the items received until obtaining the Red Paint, then give it to Jaune.

Skill: Sharing Stash

Vi's Request cannot be finished until you unlock Metal Island. There are two ways of unlocking Metal Island:

• Pay 300 Berries (or 90 berries if you have the filled card from the Spy Card quest) at Bugaria Pier.
  
• Unlock the submarine and head to it for free.

However, it is a better idea to wait to unlock the Submarine instead of paying to go there as it is REALLY expensive to go to Metal Island early.

This quest is very straightforward and easy to finish. The reward is a skill for Vi called Sharing Stash, a skill that heals the party over the course of 3 turns. Personally, it is a pretty underwhelming skill since there are items that can do the same thing without wasting TP but that's just me.

It also unlocks the "Reconciliation" achievement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kabbu's Request

Finish Chapter 7

Go to the Wild Swamplands area where you fought The Beast. Investigate the area.

None

Kabbu's Request is the easiest out of the party quests. Just go to the area where you fought The Beast. Pretty straightforward. You don't get anything out of it, just a nice bookend to Kabbu's arc.

Bounty Quests

Bounty Quests are unlocked after unlocking the Underground Tavern. They are the hardest bosses in the game, some even rivaling the final boss. These are fights that are not to be taken lightly and need preparation for. Here are the bounties, their locations, and some overall tips while fighting them:

Seedling King



Location: Seedling Haven

Seedling King can be found by heading left from the Explorer's Association and using Leif's Icicles or Vi's Fly to head across the river and go behind the bushes. It is the easiest to fight out of the bounty bosses and he unlocks Seedling Haven for you to farm Golden Seedlings.

Tips

• Seedling King is airborne for half the fight. Vi is the only one able to attack him so have Leif buff her while Kabbu takes care of any enemies he spawns.
  
• Seedling King spawns a bunch of enemies. Frost Bowling is a very useful skill to have while dealing with him
  
• Seedling King will never attack while on his minions. Use this knowledge to plan ahead.

Rewards

• TP Core
  
• 50 Berries

Devourer



Location: Upper Golden Path

Devourer can be found by heading right from Golden Settlement and using Vi's Beemerang to lift the elevator to the high path. Continue moving through the upper area till you find him at a clearing surrounded by spikes. It is arguably the hardest boss out of the bounties and a contender for one of the hardest bosses in the game.

Tips

• Devourer summons flytraps to help them fight.
  
• Devourer eats one of your party members and keeps eating them till they faint. Watch out for that.
  
• Devourer poisons your party too so any badges that help while poisoned is recommended or any status heal items.

Rewards

• Medal: Last Attack
  
• 50 Berries

Tidal Wyrm



Location: Stream Mountain

Tidal Wyrm can be found by heading to Stream Mountain. In the first room where you can change the water level, drain the water and go through the cave opening. Continue till you reach a room with a giant puddle, a Venus Bud, and a Save Crystal. Head to the center of the puddle to start the boss.

Tips

• The Tidal Wyrm has 2 parts: the head and the tail. Taking out the tail, stuns the head for 2 turns.
  
• Tidal Wyrm is immune to being frozen. You can't stunlock the boss like you can with the others.
  
• He can summon a Water Strider or a Diving Spider to help him fight.
  
• If the tail hasn't been taken out, it will shoot a water orb that lands 2 turns later. This happens everytime the head performs an action.

Rewards

• Medal: Last Attack
  
• 50 Berries

False Monarch



Location: Forsaken Lands

False Monarch can be found in an old ancient town in the leftmost area of Forsaken Lands. To reach the town head west from the room filled with pipes shooting wind where you're supposed to use Vi's Fly. Keep heading west till you arrive at the town. There is a Venus Bud at the "Inn" to the left, and a save crystal. Go into the house at the top of the town to fight False Monarch.

Tips

• FM can deploy Mothflies. As long as you're good at blocking, they're pretty much nonexistent. However, they can heal FM so keep an eye out.
  
• FM can occasionally swarm members with Mothflies and can even swarm members with poisonous mothflies.
  
• When in a bind, they can charge up for a turn and then unleash a massive swarm. Use Leif's Bubble Shield!

Rewards

• Medal: Last Stand
  
• 50 Berries

Peacock Spider



Location: Peacock Island

Peacock Spider is located in Metal Lake inside of Peacock Island. Travel southeast from Metal Island until you arrive at the island. Use Vi's Fly to fly behind the waterfall. Then, use Leif's Icicle Platforms till you reach the top of the waterfall. Approach the spiderweb to start the fight.

Tips

• PS will ALWAYS spawn a Jumping Spider or a Diving Spider at the first chance it can. In Hard Mode, it will always spawn a Diving Spider.
  
• After spawning the spider, it will buff said spider with a variety of buffs. This all constitutes 1 turn for PS.
  
• Focus PS as much as you can. The real threat is PS itself, the spider they spawn is second to it.

Rewards

• Medal: Last Stand
  
• 50 Berries

Beating all the Bounties unlocks the "A Better Bugaria" achievement.

Spy Cards

Spy Cards is a card game mini-game based off the various "Spy" logs you can get from enemies. It is an extensive card game featuring a bunch of mechanics that I can't really give any tips for, as I mostly brute-forced my way throughout the entire sidequest. I recommend reading this guide as it goes super in-depth with Spy Cards and all it's cards as well as meta decks you can use to steamroll your opponents. You can find the guide here:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2121909236
For now, I can show you how to finish the Spy Quest quest.

Card Masters of Bugaria

Defeat Carmina in a game of Spy Cards in the Underground Tavern

Defeat Chuck, Arie, Shay, and Crow. Then win the Spy Cards Tournament on Metal Island.

150 berries, a Crystal Berry, and the Card Trophy.

This Quest requires you to have completed at least Chapter 3 to fully finish it.
Before anything, you need to have access to the Underground Tavern by finishing the "Requesting Assistance" quest.

• Talk to Carmina at the Tavern:
  
  
  
  
• After defeating Carmina in a game of Spy Cards, the quest becomes active. Next head to Bugaria Outskirts near Snakemouth Den. Talk to Chuck at his hut.
  
  
  
  
• After defeating Chuck in Spy Cards, go to Golden Settlement. Talk to Arie in the Golden Settlement's Residential District.
  
  
  
  
• After defeating Arie, go to Defiant Root. Talk to Shay in Defiant Root's Marketplace.
  
  
  
  
• After defeating Shay, go up to the Hive and talk to Crow in H.B's Lab.
  
  

Defeating Crow will give you the Filled Card, allowing you to access the Spy Card Tournament on Metal Island. It will also allow you to get a discount on the Boat to Metal Island from 300 berries to 90 Berries.

The Spy Card Tournament is a 3-round gauntlet that rewards you with 150 berries, a Crystal Berry and a trophy for your house in the Ant Kingdom. After beating it once, you can retry the Spy Card tournament for the price of 25 berries. This is the best way to grind berries as you get 125 berries per win for little time if you have a strong deck.

Crystal Berries

Crystal Berries are collectables you can find in the World of Bugaria. These Crystal Berries can be traded for great medals from the Underground Tavern. They can be found from quests, interacting with the environment, or finding them in the Overworld.

Getting the "Detector" medal from doing B.O.S.S can help you in your search for these items.

Bestiary

The Bestiary is a glossary of every enemy you use the Spy skill on. All of the enemies have their own spys that reveal more information on them as well as the character's thoughts on it. You shouldn't have any issues filling out the bestiary as long as you fight every enemy.

If you're missing any boss tattles, you can talk to a bug in the Underground Tavern and buy spy logs off him for 10 berries. You can also use B.O.S.S and the Colosseum to get finish any remaining boss spy logs.

Recipes

Recipes can be discovered by cooking items at the 4 major chefs in the game. The chefs are mechanically identical aside from each having 1 unique recipe only they can cook (Except for the microwave as it has no unique recipe).

Note: The chefs will only cook their unique recipe once you finish their associated quests.

The chefs are listed here:

Chef	Location	Unique Recipe

Kut	Golden Settlement	Tangy Carpaccio - Tangy Berry
Crisbee	Defiant Root	Crisbee Donut - Glazed Honey + Bag of Flour

Unlocking all the Recipes unlocks the "Cooking Maestro" achievement.

Discoveries

Discoveries is an information glossary of the locations and characters of Bug Fables. There are 50 total Discoveries in the game and can be easily found throughout the story if you are constantly exploring the towns. However, some require you to interact with certain objects in the environment to count as completed. The Detector Medal can help you immensely in finding missing discoveries.

With enough discoveries, you can gain rewards by talking to the blue ant next to Brooke in the Anthill Palace Library. Here are the rewards for the discoveries:

Discoveries Filled	Reward
10	Crystal Berry
15	Crystal Berry
25	Medal: Victory Buzz
35	Crystal Berry
40	Crystal Berry

Cave of Trials and B.O.S.S.

The Cave of Trials

The Cave of Trials is a 50-stage gauntlet rewarding you with berries, medals, and items depending on how well you perform. The player can choose to heal up to 2 times every 10 waves and they cannot change their badge layout until they quit or are defeated. All items used are replenished once finished. However, any HP or TP lost during the gauntlet is not recovered. If an enemy hasn't been filled in the Bestiary, they will be shown as a black silhouette.

The Cave of Trials can be found on the path to Bugaria Pier and Lost Sands. Placing the Mysterious Piece received from Professor Neolith on the pedestal inside the cave and showing the Explorer Permit activates the Cave of Trials.

The cave has multiple rewards depending on the amount of waves you beat:

Waves Beaten	Reward
10	Tangy Berry
20	Dark Cherry
30	Defense Exchange
40	TP Saver
50	Team Ribbon

B.O.S.S.

B.O.S.S is a machine located in H.B.'s Lab inside The Hive that allows you to fight previously defeated bosses and fight in a boss rush gauntlet. It is unlocked after chapter 3 and after presenting the Explorer's Permit. All items used are replenished and it fully restoring the party after finishing.

B.O.S.S has 2 modes: Single Battles and Boss Rush.

Single Battles allow you to choose and challenge previously defeated bosses. If you missed any Hard Mode achievements, you can challenge these bosses again in Hard Mode by having the badge equipped. Note that 3 of the bosses are missing, those being the superboss, the Primal Weevil, and the termite guards. The Primal Weevil and the termite guards can be challenged again by visiting the Colosseum. The superboss can be challenged by finishing "Confidential".

Boss Rush is a gauntlet of bosses that allow you to heal up to 3 times per Boss Rush. There's 2 types of Boss Rush: Mini-Boss and Boss, allowing to challenge their corresponding bosses. Beating 3 waves rewards you with the Spy Specs medal, beating 6 waves rewards you with the Detector Medal, completing 9 waves rewards you with EX Mode, a harder version of the Boss Rushes. Fully completing one of the Boss Rushes rewards you with a little trophy for your house.

Menu Codes

The Menu Codes are codes you can unlock by beating certain conditions and talking to certain NPCs. These affect the games values in certain ways such as making the game harder or randomizing medals.To activate the codes, type in the code in a blank savefile. Once typed in at least once you can use the tattle button on a blank file to bring up a secret menu with all your input codes. While these can be inputed without finding them, I highly recommend you go an search for these yourself as they're supposed to be secret. Of course if you don't want to do that, here's a list of the codes, the effects, and their locations:

Code	Description	Code Location
HARDEST	Makes the game harder than Hard Mode.	Beat both highscores in the Termacade and talk to the Prize Exchange Termite.
MOREFARM	Increases EXP required to level up.	Get a score of 30+ in Whack-a-Worm
FRAMEONE	Reduces the window for blocking.	Talk to Shades after buying out his shop.
MYSTERY?	All Medals are randomized in locations and cannot be revealed until picked up.	Talk to the bug next to Merab's Shop after buying out the shop.
RUIGEE	No EXP is gained, MP can be leveled up by talking to Eetl, and all medals that cost MP now cost 1 MP.	Talk to Eetl after completing all quests.
PUSHROCK	Changes every characters' sprite into Tanjerin.	N/A.
TUFFBUGS	Identical to activating FRAMEONE, HARDEST, RUIGEE, and MOREFARM.	N/A.

Misc.

This section is dedicated to any side-content, not listed anywhere else in the guide. This also covers some of the other records required for 100% completion.

Music Collector

Samira is in every major town. You can buy songs you've heard from her and she can play them for you. Each song costs 2 berries to buy with a total of around 40-60 songs in total. Most of the songs can be unlocked through playing the main story but some are unlocked from optional areas and can be missed.

Superboss Destroyer

The superboss is the team of Maki, Kina, and Yin. The superboss can be unlocked after completing the "Confidential" quest. They are the hardest boss in the game and are the gatekeepers for the "Ultimate Team!" achievement. This fight requires a lot of preparation and Super Blocking is almost required to even survive.
Here are a few tips:

• Queen's Dinner is a very good item to bring but it can be expensive. The recipe is unlocked by finishing its quest.
  
• Medals that can buff your Super Block can help a ton.
  
• Take out Yin first as she can buff her other party members. Kina revives if you defeat Yin after her.
  
• Taking out ANY enemy member buffs another. Just keep that in mind.
  
• Yin does not attack, only buff. She will always go last though.

Defeating the Superboss gives you 100 berries and the achievement.

CHOMPY!!!!!

Chompy is an extra "party member" you can recruit. She can be recruited by beating Mother Chomper in the Chomper Cave. After defeating her, go to Prof. Honeycomb and she will be available to join your party.
Chompy is a support character of sorts. She deals base 2 damage and has no HP. Her stats can be altered by giving her ribbons whenever she is inside the giant tube in Prof. Honeycomb's lab or in the petbox inside of the purchaseable house in the Ant Kingdom.
Here are all the available ribbons:

Ribbon	Effect	Location
Pretty Ribbon	Increases Chompy's attack power by 1.	Buy it for 50 berries in The Hive.
Drowsy Ribbon	Chompy can now use the "Drowsy Bite" skill for 3 TP. It has a chance of inflicting Sleep.	Purchase it from the Termacade for 90 tokens.
Shocking Ribbon	Chompy can now use the "Numbing Bite" skill for 3 TP. It has a chance of inflicting Numb.	Purchase it from the Termacade for 90 tokens.
Venom Ribbon	Chompy can now use the "Venom Bite" skill for 3 TP. It has a chance of inflicting Poison.	Purchase it from the Termacade for 90 tokens.
Team Ribbon	Recovers 1 TP each time Chompy deals damage.	Finish the 50 waves of the Cave of Trials

Recruiting Chompy also unlocks the "Plant Enchanter" achievement.

Termacade

Termacade is unlocked once you obtain the submarine and ride it. It features 2 minigames and a prize exchange counter. Playing the games requires tokens which can be exchanged for the prizes, notably being the Status+ medals and Chompy's ribbons. You can also exchange 1 token for 3 berries which is the best way to get the prizes if you've been saving up berries through Bank Interest. It features 2 games: Flower Journey and Mite Knight. Each has a highscore to beat and is required to beat both highscores to get the "Gamer" achievement.

Flower Journey is a Flappy Bird clone and the harder of the 2 games to beat the high score. You control a bee flying through logs and wasps to collect flowers. Here are a few tips:

• This game is essentially RNG since the placement of the flowers and the wasps can mess with you, ruining your perfect run. Just keep trying.
  
• FLOWERS ARE IMPORTANT. Flowers give you base 25 points but the points multiply whenever another flower is collected. Chaining the flowers is imperative as missing 1 flower resets the multiplier.
  
• Try to beat the highscore before your bee starts moving too fast. Again, flowers help!

Mite Knight is a dungeon-crawler. You control a mite going through a 3 floor dungeon while fighting enemies off. Here are a few tips:

• Killing enemies while being fast increases your score. You are scored on time and how much HP you finished with.
  
• Sidestepping can be done by shielding and moving left or right.
  
• If surrounded by enemies, you can spam shield and slowly take them out one by one.
  
• A compass showing where the next objective is shown when you stay still for a few seconds.

Beating both highscores rewards you with a menu code as well when talking to the Exchange Counter termite.

Green Bug Ranger Plushie!

During Chapter 2, you can head into the Ant Kingdom's Theater and buy a Bug Ranger Plushie for 40 berries. This plushie is hands-down the best item in the game. It has extra dialogue with almost every single opportunity where you need to show a key item and the dialogue is extremely entertaining as well. It holds no gameplay purpose otherwise. However, the plushie IS required for an achievement.

Once you've beaten the Colosseum once, talk to the termite sitting on a box on the outside of the Colosseum. You can give him the Bug Ranger Plushie and you'll unlock the "Good Deed" achievement.

Max Level

The level cap is Rank 27. This is actually very easy to achieve if you fight every enemy in your path in Hard Mode. However, if you are playing in Normal Mode or have been skipping a lot of battles, you can use the EXP Booster medal and farm Giant's Lair to cap your rank easily. Reaching Rank 27 unlocks the "Battle Ready" achievement.

The House

Upon beating Chapter 3, you can buy the key to the red house in the Ant Kingdom's Plaza from Beette in The Hive. It is a bit pricey, costing 150 berries, but it is a REALLY good deal. Buying the house allows you to sleep in it for free, which pays off in the long run since most of the Inns charge upwards of 20 berries to heal in it. It also has a petbox for changing Chompy's ribbons and a display case for when you get a trophy.

Thank You!

Thank you for reading my guide! Again, I tried covering all of the questions someone might ask but I could have skipped some. All of the pictures used in this guide are from the Bug Fables Wiki. A lot of the information was also taken from the Wiki such as badge locations, collectables, and quest rewards so please go support them. I tried giving credit whenever possible so please comment if I missed anyone.

Here's the link to the Wiki:

This is my first time writing a guide so I tried my hardest to write a guide for this game since there isn't an all-inclusive guide in the guide section. Hopefully, you enjoy this game as much as I do. Thank you! Goodbye!

Awesome guide! Couldn't have done it without it.
"Helper Boost" is a badge in the Termacade that I don't see brought up here.
Hope this helps anyone trying to pin down that last one!

who the hell locks the using of a common collectible behind a side quest ??????

( the crystal berries)

The beastiary is incorrect. 86 and 87 are no longer the Dead Landers, but something else.

There is a missing location for the PUSHROCK code. It's in the Cave of Trials.

To get it, you need to complete the Cave of Trials with either at least 3 Tangy Berries in your inventory or have one Tangy Berry as the 4th item in your inventory.

Once you reach these requirements, you'll be able to fight a secret boss that cannot be spied on, has 99 HP, 4 Def, very strong attacks that can poison you and is in the shape of a certain fruity bug. Once you beat this difficult boss, it'll grant you the code.

@The Living Glitch You can honestly start focusing on MP chapter 2 if you want, but there arent too many good medals available until after chapter 3 when suddenly a ton are available

[The Living Glitch]

When you say "MP is vital late-game," HOW late do you mean? What chapter do we need to get to in order to start focusing on MP?

[Fish-Bit]

This guide is missing a new secret fight added in 1.1 that can only be accessed after completing chapter 7, completing all the bounties and beating Carmina in a game of Spy Cards.

:O First-time guide? You did an excellent job! Thank you for this!

[Icy-Cream]

I cannot find all the lore books o(╥﹏╥)o
Still 4 missing after searching the location mention above.
If you know or have any walk through videos for lore books please @ me
Many thanks!

@Are Guns Magic? Found it! ;D Many thanks! You save my day ＼(＾∀＾)メ(＾∀＾)ノ
There's a mistake in the Quest for My Mechanical Claw, to those who didn't find the claw, it's actually in the place where Maki meets Yin rather than the wasp palace.
