Man on Force I can't seem to beat 5-3 without taking damage!
I've done most levels with 2 or 3 Mii's which is how many I usually get per day, I'm going to have to hire 10 and steamroll this stage, aren't I?

Also, has anybody destroyed both hands at the same time?
Any tips?

 

[Sagitario]

I am a Master Gardener now. The new seed box would have been so useful earlier.
Does someone know how many boxes are there?

 

[gerudoman]

So, from what I understand the hats available in the shop change every day, right?

Edit: never mind, just seen checked GameFaqs and confirmed it. I'm seeing some awesome hats there

Already? You must get a lot of streetpasses. It sometimes takes me 2 days just to bloom one flower unless I buy people.

When you wake up tomorrow to find your garden burned down, it wasnt me

Perhaps unrelated to Streetpass plaza, but I had no idea that the 3ds had a 12-title limit for Streetpasses. I mean, maybe only a few 3ds owners have more than 12 games, but it's like two or three years down the line... you'd think they'd expect people to have more games at this point?

I think the idea is that you probably don't care about the 13th game anymore at that point. I know personally I only tend to care about a few games at a time.. lose interest in the older ones.

12 only? Damn, I didnt know that,


I ran into a weird issue today. Its been 2 days since I streetpassed with my sister and 10 hours since my brother. I saw them this morning and saw the green light on my 3DS so I figured that I was good to go.
I checked streetpass and had nobody and I dont know why. The notifications show me that I got them for Monster Hunter and Animal Crossing but nothing for the streetpass games.

I absolutely hate this limit.

Because of this limit, I have to spread my StreetPass enabled games across 3 different 3DS systems. I hate having to pick and choose which StreetPass games to keep enabled on my main 3DS. =/

You can get up to 22 hat tickets from each one of the games and you can use one ticket to buy any hat you want when it is available in the exchange booth, so you will be able access any of the new hats (except the two you get for buying a game then completing it) but you won't be able to get all of them.
It's also worth noting that the different games hand out hat tickets at different rates with some of them (Streetpass Battle/Warrior's Way) being straight up impossible to get unless you live in Japan. If you want to get a game just for the new hats and suits then Squad/Mii Force is your best bet because the achievements are relatively easy to complete and most people say it's the best game anyway.

Impossible?
I'm up to the 11th country in Warrior's Way and I'm in Los Angeles...

 

[zroid]

I would guess there are some data transfer constraints which make a larger number of StreetPass-enabled games a bit unrealistic.

 

[Sagitario]

I am in floor 7 of Monster Manor (all previous floor full/completed) and still haven't got the option to team up with another Mii (they just offer puzzle boxes).

Already? You must get a lot of streetpasses. It sometimes takes me 2 days just to bloom one flower unless I buy people.

I usually get at least 3 passes 2 or 3 times per day. All from the same people, though (and none of them have the 4 new games).

I think the idea is that you probably don't care about the 13th game anymore at that point. I know personally I only tend to care about a few games at a time.. lose interest in the older ones.

Still kinda sucks, though.

I have only destroyed one, but I would say a level 3 blue or light green would work (because of the homing ability).

 

[Salaadin]

Its not impossible but it will take a very, very long time to get all the Warriors Way tickets without a good, steady stream of street passes.
For instance, the "build an army of 1 million" can take forever when you factor in losses and castle fortification.
The ones for attacking monarchs and greeting peacfully will also take a while if you only get a few streetpasses a day.

I usually get at least 3 passes 2 or 3 times per day. All from the same people, though (and none of them have the 4 new games).

Nice. I usually get 1-2. It feels like it takes forever.

 

[Oxx]

I am in floor 7 of Monster Manor (all previous floor full/completed) and still haven't got the option to team up with another Mii (they just offer puzzle boxes).

I'm on level 9 and I think I have only received gems from Miis.

 

[Sagitario]

So, is it impossible to get all tickets without doing passes with people who also have the new games? Cause that's pretty much not happening for me.

 

[Frolow]

I am in floor 7 of Monster Manor (all previous floor full/completed) and still haven't got the option to team up with another Mii (they just offer puzzle boxes).

I'm on floor 6 and still haven't seen any puzzle boxes. Is there something I'm not doing to trigger them?

 

[Sagitario]

All this time I've been reading wrongly the price of the gardens at the mall, adding an extra 0 (600000 instead of 60000, that's why "," should always be used )... now buying all those new gardens seems way easier (only 3 gardens left).
Dammit! I am addicted to these games!

I'm on floor 6 and still haven't seen any puzzle boxes. Is there something I'm not doing to trigger them?

I have no idea. All I know is the bigger the area you make, the more chances for a Mii to appear. I don't know what triggers getting just gems instead of puzzle boxes (or the team up option)

 

[StarCreator]

Wow, it really does take close to 20 minutes per queue playing every game now. I'm actually completely done finding hats in Find Mii so that'll be a good time savings, but I'm probably going to have to skip games at Otakon/PAX in order to maximize tag count =/

Having a broken R trigger is suffering.

You don't have to destroy both hands at the same time, you just have to destroy both hands.
After you destroy at least one of the hands the boss switches to another phase. If you wait and don't kill the boss in this phase it will start attacking with the other hand and you can finish it off and get the ticket then.

There is an achievement for fighting 300 monarchs from afar. Good luck encountering 300 people who have bought the DLC.

At least clear the quick one likes Warriors Way and Monster Mansion. Thats what I do when I dont have a lot time...that way theyre not all wasted.
I do wish theyd give us a "no text" option. Aside from the longer gameplay, theres also so many useless tips in Flower Town and Mii Force that just drags them down.
"hunter shark locks onto enemies!"
OH REALLY?!?!

 

[Sagitario]

2 bronze, 2 silver and 5 gold chests (and 5 new B class weapons in each golden chest)! YAY!


Edit:
Quick question: aren't you supposed to be able to buy seeds of plants you have already bred? Cause I have bred some rare ones from the Festiva, Mischieva and Magica families and their seeds aren't available.

If it's the level I'm thinking of where you are chased by a ship there are some platforms with hermit crabs on them and you need to kill them all.

There is a part where a ship is behind you then it crashes into the rock that some crabs were on.

I just have to kill all the hermit crabs? Not the ship?

I'm pretty sure you just have to kill the crabs, but it's been a while since I did that level.

 

[RPG Wizard]

I'm pretty sure you just have to kill the crabs, but it's been a while since I did that level.

If it's in world 3, yeah. There are like 4 crabs surrounding the point where that sub crashes. Just make sure you kill ALL of them, including the one that's in the alcove.

Like usual, Light Green makes it easier.

There are gold chests!?

I'm still working out the best ways to arrange pieces so I can create a huge room by adding one piece.

I inserted a t-shape into a hole, saw 3 chests appear, and it all made sense.

 

[Conrad Link]

Cheers guys I shall try it with tomorrows Streetpasses!

Just realised I never actually said what number level I was asking about lolz. >_>

4-3, 4th treasure gem. Probably important info to say when asking a question maybe.

 

[Oxx]

I successfully profiled someone on the train who I assumed had a 3DS to streetpass with. And I recognised the Mii too.

Try this:

It gets you good results. You just need to wait for one straight piece of 5 squares.

 

[Oxx]

Tetris skills come in handy.

I managed to make a shape that triggered 4 chests at once today (all full of junk). I think the best chest had a +1 escape medallion. Eww.

Wait, you can upgrade medallions?

 

[Sagitario]

Wait, you can upgrade medallions?

You can't upgrade them, but there are +1 and +2 versions of each medallion (he got a +1 from a chest, you can also get them from puzzle boxes).

 

[DaBoss]

OK, thanks. Is there any specific floor you have to be past to get them?

 

[Sagitario]

Not really (I don't think so).
But you have better chances of higher class weapons and items within higher floors, harder puzzle boxes and the more chest appearances at the same time you trigger (and therefore with better chests [gold > silver > bronze > steel > wood]).

Thanks again. So what would be considered a high floor? I'm only at floor 5 I think.

You can't buy seeds for Rare Breeds. Can only buy seeds for the normal ones.

 

[Goldenhen]

Do we get Nintendo Zone in Australia?

 

[Oxx]

I bought 3 of the 4 console hats (sorry US SNES).

N64 hat is the best.

 

[Sagitario]

Bummer!
I don't get why they are listed in the seed shop then ( ._.)

I am currently at floor 9. I have got up to class B weapons and +2 medals so far. I know there are A and S weapons.

 

[NeoRausch]

sweet Lord, the boss on floor 15 kicked my balls!

you'll need a good fire-weapon for him... mine sucked.
took him down with the standard ghost gun. 7 DMG with a loaded shoot. that took some time!

 

[Oxx]

The problem with making all these huge, coherent shapes in Mansion is that you barely get to fight any enemies.

 

[Hours Left]

I got my first repeat StreetPass today. Luckily they play Animal Crossing, so I got a sweet pink balloon out of the deal.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Try this:

It gets you good results. You just need to wait for one straight piece of 5 squares.

You can expand that down the sides (so it goes from 5*3 to 7*3) while waiting for that elusive piece too. But I recommend only doing such setups after finding stairs...

I am currently at floor 9. I have got up to class B weapons and +2 medals so far. I know there are A and S weapons.

I think they are

Spoiler

B rank weapons with rare, high level abilities and +2...I have seen weapon ranks go up when they become +1...

Do we get Nintendo Zone in Australia?

Does not look like. I'd expect you will still get the firmware though. Thing about it is when you look at the Nintendo zones in the UK they are all existing Wi-Fi hotspots from a cellphone provider (mostly O2 if you look on the UK Nintendo zone site). I do not know if there are any such providers in Australia.

 

[Boss Doggie]

How do I get Wolf O'Donnell hat?

 

[donny2112]

Bummer!

They're not in the U.S. version. Are you EU?

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

How do I get Wolf O'Donnell hat?

Day 16 in the Exchange Booth. Falco's hat is available on the same day.

 

[Salaadin]

Anyone know how many weapons there are in Haunted Manor? I thought "Oh,probably one for each element and then you upgrade as you go on".
Im up to 22 now with no end in sight.

40 weapons in total, there are 8 for each of the 5 elements

I've gotten this a couple times with AC. I think there are people who bought the system just for that game (or MH) and haven't bothered to set up anything else. It's weird.

 

[Javier]

I'm saving my tickets for the Console/Handheld hats. Those are the best.

Amazing how while Nintendo doesn't have a system-wide achievement system, they nail it when they do them in-game.
