So, the guide isn't helping much on where to go at chapter 5, and when I
checked this part in the video walkthrough, this is where they started
going back to all the previous areas and doing sidequests...
I definitely won't 100% this game... there's so much dialog I'd be
missing out on, and I'd have to follow this walkthrough so closely
there'd be no point. even Goemon 3's sidequests weren't as tedious to do
without a translation as this game's sidequests are.
I've stopped trying to pay attention to the story around chapter 5...
the boss there is a dragon that jumps out of the water and sends out
mini-enemies on a bridge... next there's a part where you have to knock
on a mansion door exactly 4 times to talk to the person inside, and he
gives Ebisumaru a fart stomp ability, that is used for pressing certain
switches.
Next I have to find a bunch of dieties who are hiding in obscure places,
like inside a bamboo log, etc.. there's a part where I have to use the
stylus to draw the japanese character that's shown on the ground, it's
very hard because the game is bad at detecting the correct pen
strokes... and a part where you have to play whack-a-mole with an old
man who pops up out of the ground.
Next there's a food-based 2D platforming section that's only a bit hard,
and an easy boss fight against the tengu general, who just flies around
shooting easily dodgeable cannonballs at you... then an Impact fight
against a giant fish boss.. This one's a bit harder because Impact and
the boss are far off in the distance, out in the ocean, and the fish
robot moves around alot...
Next there's a snowy area, where you have to find this guy's 3
daughters. Each one that you find has a certain face, and you have to
memorize their face and arrange it on this face puzzle to open up the
next area... Before finding the 3rd daughter, I found what seems to be
the tengu general's hideout...
Also, I found all but 2 of the 30 hidden white elephants (by tapping on
random suspicious areas throughout the game). Used a guide to find the
last 2... it seems like I can also get all the wallet upgrades and other
meaningful sidequests done... and done. that didn't take too long at
all. the only stuff I was missing other than the wallet upgrades were
the special attacks for each character that you have to buy from a
certain trainer. they're all just a cinematic thing that wipes out all
enemies on the screen.
Found the 3rd daughter in that mechanical area where the bad guy was
gloating at us... after arranging her face on the puzzle, the path to
the next sidescrolling stage opened up. This place has a bunch of giant
fortune scroll things, you have to shake them with the touch screen and a
stick comes out that helps you get across the gaps.. but if the stick
is a "misfortune" stick, then a plate will fall on you.. lol these weird
level gimmicks are exactly what you'd expect from a Goemon game.
Next there's another boss, but it's the the same boss as last time, the
tengu general in a flying machine, he just has a couple new attacks now.
Now onto the last chapter... it seems after capturing the tengu general,
now it seems this Magistrate guy is the real villain, and he fooled
this tengu general guy into doing his bidding...
The last stage is Edo Castle. This place has bow and arrow platforms
that you gotta shoot with the stylus and try to land them on the
target.. then the boss, the magistrate, who just sits in the background
and makes explosive cherry pedals fall, and enemies come out on the
sides that sometimes shoot cannonballs, which you can deflect and make
them hit the boss...
That whole part was fairly easy... now for the last Impact battle...
this is really tough. it's a giant tengu robot, that flies up and
attacks from above, his attacks are pretty hard to dodge.
