Appendix:Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky walkthrough/Chapter 10

Back at the Guild and The Errand

You wake up, Loudred being your alarm clock for the first time in days. After the morning cheers, Chatot calls you over to give you a task; however, before any of that happens, it turns out Diglett can't seem to identify the footprint, Loudred being extremely nagging. Loudred says it's such a great surprise that Diglett can't identify the footprint, since he is excellent at his job...but it wouldn't be such a surprise if it was Team ____ doing it, causing your partner to get angry.

When the hassle is over, it's revealed the person at the grate was Dusknoir, a famous explorer who knows practically everything. Once you go down to see the commotion, Dusknoir is there, chatting away with Wigglytuff and Chatot as the guild's members look on. Chatot strictly orders no autographs, however Dusknoir says he is more than happy to help with autographs.

After this, your assignment for today turns out to be more random missions. However, before that, now that you have returned from the Fogbound Lake's expedition, there are many new things to town.

New Things in the Town

It is likely that during the guild expedition you have managed to acquire many Treasure Boxes that you couldn't open and had to store away with Kangaskhan Rocks. Now you can finally do something with them, as Xatu's Appraisal has arrived in the town. By paying 150 Poké, he can open a single Box, which has two types of contents:

Spoils of Expedition

• A ☆ exclusive item. If the enemy belongs to an evolutionary family that has one, it is likely to be chosen. These items grant benefits to Pokémon if they're in your inventory. Most of them grant benefits to the whole evolutionary line, with the only except being Eeveelutions (unfortunately) and the Hitmon family. This is where Croagunk's Swap Shop comes in. At his place, you can exchange these items for better ones, though only from whatever is on the list today. In Time and Darkness, only specific Pokémon had exclusive items, but in Sky, every single Pokémon has them, though most have only ☆☆☆ items. The Sky exclusives one are acquired by swapping in any 5 of these items, but the ones from Time/Darkness instead require you to swap in lower tier items; i.e. both ☆ items for a ☆☆ item, and all three for a ☆☆☆ item. How good these items varies from species to species; the ☆ and ☆☆ items most of the time just increase your stats, while ☆☆☆ have more specific items, ranging from pretty much useless (such as making your attacks ignore Reflect and Light Screen... but unfortunately these moves are not only very rarely seen on wild Pokémon, they are also very bad in this game, affecting only user) to great utilities (such as preventing enemy from reducing your stats or making it possible to recover PP whenever user takes damage).
  • A mission reward for that specific floor. Game will never generate a mission past a rest stop, such as the one in Steam Cave, but the game still ranks them for purpose of Treasure Box content.

More Ways to Obtain Pokémon

Chansey's Daycare has opened up. Sometimes, you can receive a Pokémon Egg, either as a mission reward or while drinking in Spinda's bar. The former picks basic form of Pokémon from the dungeon, while the latter chooses from the same list as normal recruits. Eggs will hatch at Lv. 1 and will fill out remaining move slots with Egg Moves; special moves they cannot learn otherwise. Please note that once forgotten, Electivire will not be able to re-teach you them. Additionally, if a Pokémon's natural moveset makes it have 4 moves at Lv. 1, it will be unable to have those special moves. If you hatch a baby Pokémon such as Magby, it has a chance to come with a special exclusive item you cannot get otherwise... but unfortunately these work only for them and not their evolutions, so they're not that useful.

Project P Benefits

Last, but not least, Spinda's Café's Project P is now up and functioning. This means recycling will now unlock many things.

In case of items available at Wynaut's, as you recycle more and more items, you will have access to better deals (the number of recycles can be checked from the main menu's Adventure Log), although the Ticket availability is instead tied to your team's progress. Unless you specifically grinded out random missions, at this point only the basic Prize Ticket should be available. The list of items is as follows:

Item	Number of recycles	Traded for
Oran Berry	0	2 Apples
Escape Orbs	2	Apple and Big Apple
Heal Seed	4	2 Big Apples
Cleanse Orb	8	3 Grimy Food
Reviver Seed	10	2 Escape Orbs
Eyedrop Seed	12	3 Max Elixirs
Power Band	14	Apple, Max Elixir, and Escape Orb
Def. Scarf	16
Special Band	18
Zinc Band	20

After 22 recycles, the game will start unlocking special offers, which are rare recycling deals that refresh every 3 days. As you can see, all of them require Oran Berries, plus some other item; Plain Seeds are items that used up Reviver Seeds turn into. While Life Seed and Joy Seed, which increase HP and level, will likely won't be unlocked well into postgame unless you dedicate yourself to recycling, the other stat boosters at 22-28 recycles should come more naturally.

Item	Number of recycles	Traded for
Protein	22	3 Oran Berry and 1 X-Eye Seed
Calcium	24	3 Oran Berry and 1 Sleep Seed
Iron	26	3 Oran Berry and 1 Blinker Seed
Zinc	28	3 Oran Berry and 1 Totter Seed
Link Box	30	3 of Oran Berry, Cheri Berry, Pecha Berry and Rawst Berry each
Life Seed	50	3 Oran Berry and 1 Plain Seed
Curve Band	80	2 Oran Berry and 1 Apple
No-Aim Scope	90	2 Oran Berry and 1 Apple
Patsy Band	95	3 Oran Berry and 1 Apple
Joy Seed	100	3 Oran Berry and 2 Plain Seed

New Places to Explore

Not only that, but you can now unlock dungeons at Spinda's Café. Two of them can be unlocked at random by making drinks, while three are unlocked at 3, 25, and 60 recycles. They're not plot critical and don't have any super powerful items, but some of them have Pokémon that either can't be found in any other dungeon, or won't be otherwise available until much later.

Other than that, you can now visit all the places you explored during expedition (aside from the EXP grinding paths) to recruit the Pokémon, or go on a mission in these places. Steam Cave missions can be ranked A, or even S if it's an escort or an outlaw mission, with S rank providing chance for the useful Blizzard and Dark Pulse TMs, or a Hunger Seed, which due to the way it works for AI, is very effective for bosses.

Due to the amount of new content possibly available to you at this point if you are willing to spend time unlocking it, a refresher about Pokémon from old dungeons and the new ones will be listed separately here.

Recent Happenings in the World

After finishing the random jobs, you will see Team Skull sour over their grueling defeat to Wigglytuff, planning some sort of revenge plot. When you wake up, you will be asked by Chatot to run an errand and whether or not the Kecleon brothers will stock Perfect Apples.

Once you get to the shop, you see Dusknoir there, talking to the Kecleon Brothers, who are looking extremely excited at the prospect of talking to the "Famous Dusknoir". Your partner is also looking excited, and goes up to him. Dusknoir greets you happily.

Your partner than remembers about the errand Chatot gave you, and asks the Kecleon Brothers whether or not they are planning to stock Perfect Apples. Unfortunately, the Kecleon Brothers state that there is no plan whatsoever to go and stock Perfect Apples, leaving Team ____ gloomy. However, something comes to cheer them up: It's Marill and Azurill! They greet each other again, and your partner ask how they are doing with their item search. Marill says that the Water Float has been spotted! Someone said it was at the beach.

Your partner gets happy for them, and your team returns to the guild. Unfortunately for them, Koffing and Zubat has overheard the conversation.

You, apparently, have to report to Chatot about the non--existent Perfect Apples. Chatot gets upset and says he'll go to Apple Woods himself.

This leaves you to do more random missions. Once that is done, during the dinner, Chatot brings bad news: another Time Gear from somewhere is discovered to have been stolen. But it gets worse; while you and your partner and speculating about this event and their meeting with Uxie, it turns that at the same time, the mysterious thief has reached Fogbound Lake all on his own and is about to steal yet another Time Gear, making it three now.

When you wake up to another day, suddenly, Loudred comes down and says Team ____ has visitors!

When you get outside, you see that it's Marill and Azurill again, looking extremely worried. Marill explains that while they thought the Water Float was on the beach, it turned out to be false. They read a letter to the team, which worries him and tells them not to go. Marill says he already tried going there, without Azurill since Azurill is too little. However, there were many Electric types there that knocked Marill out easily! So they asked your team for a favor...

And so you agreed to go to Amp Plains, despite its danger.

When Dusknoir hears of this, he gets suddenly worried. Apparently at this time something bad was going on, and that he must stop Team ____ form going, leaving the Kecleon Brothers extremely confused and worried.

Amp Plains

Like Marill said, there are plenty of Electric types here, being the main type, however you could find Flying types and Normal types. Many Electric-types have the Static ability here, which inflicts paralysis on you from close contact. Electrike additionally has Lightning Rod, which draws in and nullifies Electric-type moves (though thankfully it has been nerfed in this game and only affects moves in the same room as the user, rather than from anywhere on the floor).

This is however, not the main threat of this dungeon. This dungeon introduces two new mechanics (that you might have already seen if you ventured into the dungeons unlocked by Spinda's Café): traps and Monster Houses. Traps are tiles that spawn invisible inside the rooms and have effects that are for most part harmful. Monsters Houses are rooms that are full of items, but also extra traps, and upon entering for the first time, will forcibly spawn many enemies (and change the music). If you are unlucky, the selected room can be the one with stairs, or even the one you start the floor on! Monster Houses are one of the reasons why room-wide moves, such as Paras's Spore, end up being so useful. Since Monster Houses have their own item pool, you can usually see them in advance by looking at unusual density of a certain type of item, such as TMs or Gummis in this case.

	Electrike	13-21	21	6.4%
	Ampharos	16-19	20	-4.5%

The boss here used to be the Luxray tribe, however it was changed to the Manectric tribe, possibly because one of the new starters is Shinx. If you have Spore, which Paras and Shroomish can learn (both of which can be found in earlier levels) then you can make everyone fall asleep. If you have Lava Plume or Earthquake (which is suggested) or anything that hits every foe in the room like a monster house, then it will be really good to use here. 8 Electrike and one Manectric to defeat.

Despite there's a lot of Pokémon here, and you need to use something that can hit everyone in the room, do not use Discharge. Using it will only make it get absorbed by one of the Electrike's Lightningrod.

After the Battle

After the battle, you will notice the Water Float behind the rock Manectric was in front of. However, Team Skull comes! You and your partner thought they were finished for at the expedition, but it turns out they survived it. When they are about to use their Noxious Special Gas Combo (Zubat hides quickly behind the rock) Dusknoir arrives! He easily saves you from the attack and tells Team Skull that, if they want a battle, they'll have to do it with Dusknoir on your side. However, Team Skull stamped that one by saying, "We were going to do it with just the wimps...but with the great Dusknoir?" and they flee.

Later, you're giving the Water Float in the rightful place--in Azurill's hands. They can't thank you enough, and they leave. The Kecleon Brothers are amazed at your brilliance for helping the Marill and Azurill brothers for the second time, and he was especially impressed on the first one, where Team ___ tracked Azurill's location just like that!

Your partner gets quite modest, however he/she explains that he/she had help with that first one, since you simply touched something and saw a vision. Dusknoir gets a bit excited and tells them that the ability you have is called the Dimensional Scream. Your partner gets excited, and you, your partner, and Dusknoir head over to the beach to discuss it.

As you discuss, there's a very mysterious part where Dusknoir wonders what your name is, and when you tell him the name, he appears to hide the faintest of smiles. Enough of that, however, since your partner just noticed the unusual amount of Pelipper flying in the sky today. Soon Bidoof comes to warn you there is something going on at the guild, and you and your partner, including Dusknoir, go off to see what the problem is.
