CONKER`S POCKET TALES boss guide 1.1. Author: Eskil Vestre, Timberīs Fanclub timber-fanclub@vestre.net http://home.sol.no/home/timberfc ____________________________________________________________ *UPDATE* The FAQ is now finished, with all the bosses in the whole game! Conkerīs Pocket Tales is a grreat GB game with fantastic colours and a good black nīwhite version included inside. In this guide i want to look at the bosses and how to beat them. So, letīs start from the beginning, in Willow Woods. WILLOW WOODS Hssstamean Gameboy Color: Go and collect all the Conkers outside Hssstameanīs cave. Press Start and Save (Select). After saving, they will show up again! So, collect them again and save again. Repeat this untill youīve got plenty of them. You dont need much energy, just many Conkers. Well inside the cave, go down to that path where Hssstamean never goes. Stand there and wait. And wait. After a while he will pass by and dont see you. Throw all your conkers at him. When you hear a "bump"-sound, he looses energy. He will begin to spin faster round and round, which means you dont have to wait so much anymore. Repeat this, and you will win without loosing any energy. Game Boy/GB Pocket Collect all the conkers outside Hssstameans cave and save on the save point. After saving, they will show up again. Handy. Collect them again and save, and repeat. After that, do it like you do in the Color version. VULTURE VILLE Honker GB/GB Pocket/GB Color Duck and hide you behind the table by pressing B. When Honker is hiding, show up with B and throw a few conkers into the air. When he shows up, one of them will, if youīre lucky, hit him. Sometimes he makes some short pauses, and that is a good time for hurting him with a few shots. If you hear the "bump"-sound, he looses one energy line (you can see them at the bottom of the screen). Donīt be worry about your ammunition, because you have infinite of conkers in this battle. Luxo and Sol In this boss you really need much energy, unlike the two first bosses. So find every single acorn in Vulture Ville and remember to save. So, when you are there, Luxo and Sol will fly around. You have to run around in circles and wait until one of them sits down. Then throw acorns at him. Repeat that, and that itīs! KROW KEEP Waldorf First time(s): Waldorf will throw things at you, so in the beginning of your battle, go straight to the right corner of the platform. When he is coming near you, go a little bit to the left and throw acorns at him. He will now go mad and fly from right to left to right to left... Hide you at the left corner and wait until he starts throwing things again (sometimes he doesnt want to do it, then you have to go a little bit to the right). Now wait until the thing heīs throwing (swors, spike or other things) is in a other corner of the platform and throw conkers at him. Repeat this, and you made it! Last Waldorf Itīs easy to do this without loosing any energy. Go as near at him as it gets and stand there all the time. Dont move! When he is throwing his things wait untill he flies to the right corner, and when he comes back in front of you, throw conkers. He wonīt hurt you if you do it that way. And then, do like in all the other bosses, repeat. **********************UPDATE!********************** MAKO ISLANDS I call the sub-games on Mako Islands for bosses too, because Honker is a kind of a boss. if you didnīt know it, he is with you on all the sub games. He wants to win and show you that heīs the best of you too. You know, heīs still angry īcause you defeated him in Vulture Ville. Coconut Shoot Shoot at all the coconuts who are flying The trick here is to practice and TO TAKE IT EASY. You have to score over 7000 points. Hurdless Race The control in all the sub-games in Mako Islands are almost the same. And they are bad. In this own you have to wiggle the d-pad as fast as you can. Left, right, left, right... Press A or B to jump over the obstacles. Try to use just one finger to wiggle and the other fingers to hold your GB Color with and press A or B. Swimming Race Here again, you have to wiggle the D-pad FAST. Press A or B when it says "breathe". Terrible frustating thing, this. Long Jump I was stuck on this sub-game a long time, and thatīs the reason why i didnīt update this FAQ faster. The aim is too run fast (yes, by wiggling the D-pad) and jump a real long jump. It must be longer then 5 metres! I (and maybe you too) thought that you only have to run and then jump with A or B. īCause thatīs what the Acorn tells. But in that way i only get a few centrimetres or maybe 2 metres. But no, you have to hold down A (or B) for a while to jump higher and longer. If you do that, you can get 5 metres easy. Boat Race (Honker) When youīve build a boat, the evil Acorn Meets you on the beach near the Boatbuilders house. "If you win in this race, iīll give you Berri" says the Evil Acorn. And then, heīs goe. "Oohh..grrr..why didnīt i shoot at him?!" Conker shouts (not really). And then he enters his boat and Honker appears. Now you have to press A to gas and try to cut all the corners you can. Remember to follow the buoys! At the end of the race Honker smashes his boat into a boulder, and thatīs your chance to get in front of him! The boat race has really better controls then the sub-games, and itīs one of the very best parts of the game. CLAW SWAMP Swamp Fiend The trick in this boss is to stomp on him by pressing A twice.Try to stand in a corner, and stomp all the time. You donīt have to hit the Swamp Fiend, if you stomp a few steps ahead heīll also loose energy. AZTEC TEMPLE Siegried Sigfried is "the last remainig Stone Golem", says the instruction booklet. I dont know what a Stone Golem is, but maybe weīll know more about them in TWELVE TALES: CONKER 64. Youīll find Siegfried in a room with much neagles on the floor. Siegfried is magnetic, so he will try to drag you to the neagles. Just stay in the south corner of the room, and go south (yes, just walk forward to the wall. You have to move all the time! When enemies are coming out from Siegfried (blobs, spiders and more) shoot at them with your slingshot. When they die, shoot at Siegfriedīs mouth, and heīll lose his first life. I think he has 5 or 6 lifes, so every Conker pro who made it as far as to the Aztec Temple will easy defeat him. Good luck! THE END: After youīve beaten Siegfried, the Evil Acorn wants to meet you in the caves outside Conkerīs house. So, if you go back to Conkerīs house, a new patch of dirth will appear at the eastern side of his house. Dig with Select, and you will make your way into the caves. Inside the caves you have to rescue your friends and Berri. But I didnīt find all of Conkerīs friends, but I completed the game anyway. When you find Berri, the evil Acorn starts a time bomb with will blow the cave to bits in 5 minutes. Now you have to run your way back home, out of the caves. If you do it within 5 minutes, the cave will explode WITH the Evil Acorn. The Evil Acornīs last words are: "Iīll get you, squirrel!" No sorrry, Acornguy, itīs not my fault that youīve been so silly and trapped yourself in your cave and placed a bomb there... I hope you liked my FAQ, and when Twelve Tales: Conker 64 arrives, i will make a FAQ for that game too!
