Rune Factory 2 Bestiary Guide

I am going to take a very brief break from Rune Factory Frontier in order to continue the Bestiary Video Tutorials for Rune Factory 2. I never had a chance to complete the series.

If any player is interested in advising me on this, please do so as quickly as possible. One question: should the videos organise the Monsters by type or by Dungeon/Cave? There is one other possibility, an 'A to Z' Bestiary... If I don't receive any feedback, I'll simply do it by type.

It appears that the visual tutorials I make for YouTube actually are quite popular and helpful, even though I always will give priority to my written guides.

Freyashawk said...: Thanks for your input. I received an email from another player asking for the same approach, so that is how I will organise the videos in future...

I did make one video that gave the monsters by type with descriptions of their locations and War Trophies. It really does make more sense to show them by dungeon though.; July 14, 2009 at 5:22 PM
Unknown said...: thanks for all yr guide but would appreciate if you are able to do a video guide on lava ruins , snow ruins and the one at whale island which open up to tower of life and a few more tower.

Pls do the one for lava ruins video first cause there so many doors to open and i'm always lost. thank again; August 1, 2009 at 2:31 PM
Freyashawk said...: I'll try to do that, Sue. At the moment, I am trying to make videos for the stories of the remaining Eligible Girls. I did make a video about the Towers on Whale Island as well as one about the Lava Ruins that takes you to the first place where you can find Silver easily... and one that shows you how to find the locked door to complete Uzuki's Story...but I haven't done general walkthrough videos for the seasonal dungeons yet.; August 2, 2009 at 4:19 PM
Unknown said...: thanks , it would be wonderful to have an A-Z walkthrough video of lava ruins , snow ruins and the deeper whale of whale island ( with a few towers ) I am still stuck at Lava Ruins and yes i've got silver from watching the video provided by you but i'm so lost after that,really need to know the way to the lava boss entrance..and all the big rocks thats blocking most way..gosh i think i need to wait for yr video or else i'm going to have an heart attack just by entering lava ruins..lol as this is my first RPG game.; August 4, 2009 at 12:49 PM
Unknown said...: i've managed to find the lava ruins boss chamber after many attempt but not able to fight him yet cause low on skills but enjoyed fishing there , btw if i give cinnomon the Fall fish will that increased her LP alot cause i remembered she mentioned this particular fish? I would appreciated if the a video walkthrough for snow ruins and the more harder part of whale island such as all the tower ( life , birth a a few more) Ive been up there and its huge with so many towers , i definately will not be able to find my way tru the boss chamber..lol only if you can find the time, as you have benn very helpful with all yr written ones, thanks again.; August 6, 2009 at 11:41 AM
Freyashawk said...: Sue, I did make a video about the Towers of Whale Island. It actually focuses on the Little Crystals but shows you how to navigate ALL the Towers as well as how to reach the Water Tower and the lever that opens the gate...

I will try to make some video walkthroughs of all the paths to the boss chambers and so on for Snow Ruins for you. But do take a look at the Whale Island Towers video walkthrough I made.; August 7, 2009 at 1:01 PM
Unknown said...: thanks for considering making a video on snow ruins as there's none yet on youtube , some are just videos on fighting the snow boss.Snow ruins is harder i presume cause its dark and don't fancy the eye generator much either..lol. I 've managed to beat the lava ruins boss using the tomohawk, consider lucky cause i was at skill level 28 only. But i think i'm not ready to venture deeper in to snow ruins, i'll much prefer to wait for a walkthrough video so i'm just going to fishing and tent to my garden and up my skills for now.
i'll definately watch the video on whale island tower,much appreciated again.; August 9, 2009 at 2:03 AM

For all Harvest Moon fans and players

As Freyashawk, I have written about 150 guides for games, most of which have been guides for Harvest Moon games. These are published on IGN. IGN has given me the title of 'Mistress of Harvest Moon' and I strive daily to earn the right to maintain that title. Although there is a link page on IGN that lists all the guides published there, they are not organised by game, but rather given in alphabetical order. I therefore created this page in order to provide links to the guides I have created for each Harvest Moon game. If you access the General Guide for any game, links should be included to all other guides for that game in a section at the end. I will try to add links to ALL guides as time permits, but until I do, you always can refer to my user page at IGN for the complete list.

I wrote the Official Strategy Guide for Tree of Tranquility for BradyGames as well.
Harvest Moon Forever!

How to Use my Guides

I write three different basic types of game guides. I usually write a General Guide for every game, which is fairly comprehensive and deals with all aspects of the game. It may or may not be in the form of a Walkthrough, dealing with game aspects as they occur. My Innocent Life General Guide is an example of a General Guide that is organised as a Walkthrough.

After writing a General Comprehensive Guide, I often write a Calendar Guide giving birthday and festival dates, with additional information that may be helpful, such as favourite gifts for each individual. For all Harvest Moon games, I usually write a number of 'mini-guides', such as Events Guides for each year of gameplay, or Recipe Guides that give all recipes one can make. Fishing, Mining, Shipping or Item Value Guides are other mini-guides that can be very useful when playing Harvest Moon. Character Guides give detailed information about every character in any specific game. My Courtship and Marriage Guide is devoted to all aspects of Courtship and Marriage, including schedules of Heart Events, Rival Heart Events and the likes and dislikes of every Eligible Girl and/or Bachelor.

Although this site is devoted to Harvest Moon, I have included links to game guides for other games. I created a separate link section for Animal Crossing Wild World as well, because I wrote more than one guide for that game.

N.B. All my game guides are published by IGN. This webpage has been created simply to allow players to find links to all my guides more easily.

Copyright Infringement Warning

It is really sad to discover that there are individuals who are willing to steal my guides and to attempt to publish them under their names. Fortunately, there are many players who recognise my guides when they see them anywhere on the internet and who are willing to alert me when some one tries to steal my material. I want to thank all those players for their help in these cases.

Some one stole one of my guides and tried to publish it on Gamefaqs under his/her name. The guide has been removed and the poster has been banned. I now have a contact in the Legal Department at CNet. I spend many months sometimes writing a guide. They are available for the private use of any individual without cost, but they are not available for theft!
If you want permission to include a link to one of my guides on your site, please contact me directly.

Friends of Mineral Town and More Friends of Mineral Town

You will notice that I wrote far more guides for More Friends of Mineral Town than I did for the original 'Friends of Mineral Town'. At some point, I would like to publish more specific Events Guides for Friends of Mineral Town, but players should be aware of the fact that ALL Calendar Events Guides for MFoMT can be used when playing the original FoMT. The Events are the same in most cases in both games. If, therefore, you are playing FoMT and you wish to know the events that can be experienced in the third year of gameplay, refer to the 'Third Year Calendar Events Guide' for 'More Friends of Mineral Town'.
