Patapost Friday: Pata-Tips #2

So by now many have you hopefully have passed the nasty desert, took down a few bosses, and can catch the FEVER like you were one of those cats from Outbreak.

Now let’s talk about amp-ing up your Patapon army. As you have probably have found out, success in this game takes rhythm and focus, but that will only get you so far. You are going to have to build a bad-a$$ army, arm them to the teeth, and know how to put them to work.

“Where do they get those wonderful toys?”
Helmets, Shields and Weapons “Oh My!” There are a ton to collect in this game, if you keep on fighting the Zigotons, they will drop goodies left and right.

You can also acquire more gear from boss levels. You can replay boss levels infinitely, but as the level goes up so does the difficulty so man up your troops as you go along. Just as a sample here are some of the helmets you can score:

wood helm = is standard issue
iron helm = boosts stamina
steel helm = boosts both stamina and defense
wind helm = quickens attacks and resists flames
strength helm = greatly boosts attacks
ancient helm = greatly improves basic skills
Giant Turtle helm = greatly improves defense
Divine helm = resists flames and has destabilizing capabilities

“Simply Diviiine”
If you want the best of the best weaponry, nothing can beat “Divine Weapons.” While playing boss levels like the Mythical Stone Goliath Gaeen, you will see Mythril randomly drop.

Don’t run away or you’ll miss all the heavenly glory!

Take the Mythril to the blacksmith (which doesn’t unlock until later in the game), and if the user performs the blacksmith mini-game without error, the user will score a divine weapon. You can get one divine weapon per squad: Divine Spear, Bow, Horn, etc….

“Special Forces”
Not all Patapons are created equal. Rare-apons are Patas you customize yourself by offering things to Mater, the Tree of Life. To create Rare-apons mix any one of the top rare drops of the three categories (meat, rock, or wood). Combine 2 of the 3 rare drops together at the tree of life, to create a rare-apon.

Each of these Super-pons have special abilities:

Pyokola (Orange) = slightly better all around stats then your standard Yaripon
Mefeel ( Light Purple) = has the highest armor versus projectile weapons
Gekolos ( lime green) = has the fastest attack
Barsala ( Dark Green) = is the best rounded of all
Mogyoon ( Dark Purple) = deals the most damage of all
Tikulee ( Blue) = has the highest critical chance of damage

So which item combos yield which Rarepons? For this, we turn to Super Pata-fan AxelCloud’s YouTube page. He (or she!) spent a good amount of time making home videos of his (or her!) uber-rare Pata-force.
