Easy money
Once you get the money to buy a BBQ Spit, buy it, then
go to the Quest Level 1 missions and do Mission 1. Get ten pieces
of Raw Meat. Cook eight pieces of Well Done Meat, then take the
other two pieces to the Deliver Box. As soon as you complete the
mission and return to your village, go to the woman at the fruit
stands. You can sell her Well Done Steak for $48 each.
Recover health on a mission
If you are out of potions and low on health while on
a mission, just find the hut that you start at and press [X]
by the bed. Your character will sleep and recover health.
Prepare for monster
attacks
Try to be prepared to lure a monster to its death.
Set traps in multiple places around your village. When a monster
is spotted, lure it towards traps. As the monster goes past, have
a teammate shoot the traps. They will blow up, injuring or killing
the monsters.
Cephalos or Cephadrome hunting
When hunting Cephalos or Cephadrome, make sure to have
Sonic Bombs. Time your throw correctly, so that the bomb explodes
on top of the monster. Since they are in the sand, they will be
thrown out and momentarily stunned, giving you time to hit it.
Also, Small Barrel-Bombs work as well, but they must explode just
when the monster is under them. Another thing that works is hitting
them with a great sword.
Getting good weapons
Get two small monster bones from the monsters. This
can be done in the first level, but if you want to get the sword
immediately after the level do not spend $50 before the first
level. Then, go to the weapon crafter and have him create the
bone sword. It is slow but is incredibly strong.
Kut Ku Scales
Kut Ku Scales can be found in area one during level
one and two star missions. Go down the hill. Near the edge of
the water in one of the corners are some piles of dung. Search
them. Every other time you will get a Kut Ku Scale, which can
be sold for a high price.
