Acknowledgements / TO DO list [GP_010] ======Introduction to Game and Guide====== [GP_001] Welcome to La Mulana! This game is about the great Lemeza's journey into the depths of the ruins of La Mulana. Its filled with puzzles, traps, and monsters. What more could you really really ask for? Unfortunately at the first draft of this guide, only those with Japanese Wiis can access this game, and this guide is written mostly for their benefit. It will be updated as time progresses and with the, hopefully, eventual release of the NA/EU versions. In the guide, I won't be giving hints, or translations of solutions. I will be simply telling you how I feel it should be done. This means there will be some backtracking or disappearing into other areas if I feel this is the best course of action. At the bottom of the guide below the FAQ is a "Massive Game Checklist" this is a list of everything that needs to be done/solved in each area, and generally will also note optional items and how to get them. By reading this guide you have forfeited all rights to not be spoiled on solutions to puzzles. This guide is 100% not spoiler-free. And I will not avoid spoilers when they are necessary. Thank you, Sincerly Lvl53Sora AKA RaneofSoTN ======CONTROLS====== [GP_002] There are 3 types of controls for La Mulana.

Each has two ratings one is for speed and the other is for damage. Subweapons will also have a 3rd rating, where I rate how useful it generally is follow by a few quick comments. The names I use are derived from the La Mulana PC translation. These might not be accurate for the NA release but this guide will be updated at that time. All weapons are listed with a star rating 5 stars (*****) is the best. Speed is listed as a ?/? for with and without the gauntlet ---Weapon List--- A. WHIP Lemeza's trusty weapon! He is no indiana jones, but this is probably the most basic weapon in all of La Mulana. It has a bit of reach behind and in front of the character. Its low damage makes it an "ok" weapon but its better to use any of the other weapons over this one. Damage: * Speed: ***/**** B. CHAIN WHIP The first whip upgrade that is available in the Burning Cavern. Requires the third? seal to unlock. Beat the fire demon to get access to puzzle. Drop a weight to raise a platform to the top. Use this platform to get to the top and drop a weight to open the Chain whip. It is just a strong version of the whip Damage: *** Speed: ***/**** C. MACE The Second whip upgrade in the Tower of the Goddess. You need to speak to the sage who opens the trial. This is a weight puzzle and unless there are multiple solutions (not confirmed) LLRRRLL stand on right is the solution. Damage: ***** Speed: ***/**** D. KNIFE Knife is the quickest weapon of the bunch but has very little range. But its damage is better than the basic whip but worse than the chain whip. The knife is found in the Sun Shrine, by shooting a pot with 3 shurikens then placing a weight to unlock it all in the same room. Damage: ** Speed: ****/***** E. KEYBLADE One of the worst weapons in La Mulana, it is required to fight Mother. This weapon has a lot of lateral (horizontal) range forward but is very weak. This is as strong as the basic whip and just as fast. Found in the Infinite Corridor when walking the numbers. Damage: * Speed: ***/**** F. AXE The boss killer of La Mulana! This strong weapon is located in the Chamber of the Moon. This is hidden behind a wall 1 room below the Eden Fruit (old map room PC version). Just need to break the stone/skull holding the boulder then dodge its falling. Axe will appear. Axe hits above and in front of you. Damage: ***** Speed: **/*** G. KATANA This is the low hitting weapon of the game. Just as powerful (if maybe a little less) than the axe, but hits low. Just as quick. Resides within the twin labyrinths. After shutting off the poison merely hit the two switches on the entrance and exit to the area holding the Katana. Damage: **** Speed: **/*** ---Sub Weapon List--- A. SHURIKEN The first subweapon of the game. Poor damage but common and easy to replenish. Found in the Gate of Guidance by dropping a weight on the pedastel below it. Damage: * Speed: **** (limit 2 until ring, which changes to 3) B. THROWING STAR The "second" general subweapon of the game. Found by killing the ghost subboss in the Mausoleum of the Giants. Rolls on the ground. Damage: * Speed: *** (limit 2) C. SPEARS Obtained in the Tower of Ruin. Place a weight on the pedastel in the room above the spears. Thrown directly below you. Damage: ** Speed: **** (limit 2) D. FLARES Obtained in the Burning Cavern by solving a block puzzle behind a hidden wall. The wall is the top left of the room with a bunch of blocks. Fired directly above. (The damage got nerfed from the PC ver). Damage: ** Speed: ** (limit 2) E. GRENADES Obtained in the Graveyard of the Giants by fighting the Fox Spirit Miniboss. Tower of Goddess must be flooded first. Damage: ***/**** (depends on hits) Speed: * (limit 1) F. CHAKRAMS Obtained in the Chamber of Extinction by defeating the mini-boss spirit. One of the more OP weapons. Does a lot of damage and returns to you! Required for a puzzle in Chamber of Birth. Damage: ***/**** Speed: ** (limit 1/2) G. CALTROPS Obtained ??. Weapon is dropped behind you which does damage to targets it touches (even you!). Damage: * Speed: ** (limit 2/3) H. GUN Powerful quick shots. Bought on Surface for 100 coins. Each set of 6 bullets then cost a lot! (400 or 350 depending on store). Damage: ***** Speed: *** (limit 2 shots at a time). I. SHIELD(S) a. Small Shield Bought on Surface for 10 coins. Only Soo many uses. Will break and must be rebought. b. Silver Shield Found in the Graveyard of Giants by attacking a floor and falling down it. Blocks more than the shield. Never have to replace, but can be de-equipped by blocking too much. c. Aegis Shield Found in the Dimensional Corridor. By lighting all of the torches. Required for getting the Chalice. Blocks more than Silver Shield. All shields have a block limit before they break/become unequipped. Simply repurchase or re-equip the shield to put it back to use. J. ANKH JEWEL Used to summon bosses. Found in each area by different means. Described within walkthrough. ======*.EXE List====== [GP_005] These are the executables found in La Mulana.

Where your brain will need to be used as the great ruins is filled with traps and puzzles. There are many things in La Mulana Wii to help a new person to the game. People familiar with the PC will have a general idea on what to do, and while the early game is mostly the same, the late game has been changed to a great extent! Reading a PC FAQ will only work for so far into the game. Here are some tips to help you progress. The 10 "hints" to La Mulana Wii 1. Conserve sub-weapons! Sure they are buyable and generally useful, dont spam them at all times or you might find yourself farming for coins to deal with something you didn't see coming. Using all your flares on a boss could leave you quite seriously in the dark in the Chamber of Extinction, while without a chakram it'd be impossible to progress past a certain point. 2. All enemies have 3 potential drops. EXP, Money, and an Item. This item is fixed! If you notice a bird drops a weight, he will always drop a weight if an item is rolled. So if you want to farm specific subweapons, find the enemy that drops it. There will be a list later {link to it here}. 3. HP is now easier and harder to refill. EXP is capped at your HP value and not the full bar. So at 32 hp you need 32exp to refill! 64 hp, 64exp. This just more helpful in general, but exp is now a drop. So its harder to get those valueable exps. Be sure to visit the HOT SPRINGS on the surface or within the Graveyard of the Giants (after activating it) if you need a health boost. 4. Pay attention to the background! This is now important in La Mulana Wii. You wont ever know where something is if you dont watch the background, and in some cases, the background contains hints for progression! See a serpeant? Try to use the staff somewhere. See a skull shaped hole.. you get the picture right? Useable items are now useable! So aim to use them! Also it helps to scan the "paintings" in the background. They might tell you something important! *HINT* This is how we figured out how to flood the left side of the Tower in the Japanese version without being fully able to read Japanese! *HINT* 5. Save after SCANNING each grail point. Because you generally do NOT revisit most grail points the first time you scan them, the game creates the continue point before the scan. if you die in that area you might forget to rescan that grail point! This can make something annoying if you "swear you had this point" and when you try to warp to it later, you have to track to it again! 6. If you are stumped or need a hint, feel free to visit Xelpud (surface) or Mulbruk (Sun Shrine). They will often being your shining light and help you advance! *HINT* They changed up getting the serpeant staff *HINT* 7. Hold no wall or statue or 'thing' sacred, unless it strikes at you with lightning! There are more secrets in this game. Fake walls are here and there, breakable walls are common, and heck sometimes you might need a specific weapon and/or subweapon to 'open' an area. More or less this will lead you to a bunch of coins (which who doesn't love $$$$), but often it can be necessary to advance. 8. Faeries are your friend. There are 4(!) different faeries in La Mulana Wii. Two of them are new (what?)! There is of course the Healing Faerie who does 12 hp every few seconds, and the Key faerie to unlock things. But now there are the Battle Faerie, attacks with your currently equipped subweapon (thats not a gun), and the Coin/Luck Faerie which spawns more coins/weights/subweapons from pots and enemies that are broken. It even forces pots to respawn the 10 coins they normally hold! There are rom combos to guarentee each one but if you are unable to use that combo, you can manip faeries in a different way. a. Each faerie has a different appearance animation. As long as you warp away or exit the screen before it fully forms you can retry for a different one. I. Healing Faerie is a circle w/ 2 stars forming it! II. Battle Fearie is a star pointed one w/ 2 stars forming it! III. Coin/Luck Faerie is I and II combined (animations) IV. Key Faerie is star pointed with 4 stars forming it. Slightly different from that of the battle faerie. b. See rom combos for which forces which faerie to spawn. 9. Traps now do a portion of your max health in damage. 1/5th to be as accurate as possible. Please note this, so a trap is the same amount of danger no matter how much HP you have, but as you progress traps take more HP off, so it can take longer to recoup! Be careful of traps in your adventure. 10. Try not to get frustrated! Sometimes the easy way is really the way to do it! My friend once shrugged off an easy idea that came to his head while playing, when I told him later how to do it and it was what he had said... well its quite easy to see he facepalmed right? Try everything and anything that might come to mind! Nigoro went all out in their puzzles, and made sure that they kept it all in good clean fun. Just have fun warping in pipes ya? *HINT* ======Walkthrough====== [GP_007] a. The Adventure beings here!

ALL EXITS ARE CLOSED! ======FAQ====== [GP_008] There really isn't much here yet, but feel free to email me at roydragonlynbt AT gmail DOT com Q: How do you flood the Goddess Tower? A: There are two parts to it now after reading the tablet. The right side is flooded by going down through the pot in the Mausoleum of the Giants. The pot in question is the one being pointed to near Sakkit (to the right). The left side is flooded just in the Spring of the Sky. Look for the painting facing to the left and its through a false wall on the right. Remember where you flooded the water into the Sun Shrine? Top Right wall there. Q: How do you get into the Gate of Confusion/Illusion? A: There is a new item in La Mulana Wii compared to the PC version. You now need the Fruit of Eden. This is not found in the tower of the Goddess cause the tree doesn't exist in this version. Instead it is hidden where the map used to be in the PC version (room w/ the 4 extra chests). The 4 pedastels are missing and can be revealed by scanning 4 points in the Moonlight Shrine. A. Platform above the Grapple Claw Chest B. Between the 4 Hands C. The trap pedastel at the bottom of the elevators D. "Between two Dancers". Best described as next to the platform spawn near where you open up the way to the mini-boss Anubis. Q: How do you kill things in the Dimensional Corridor? A: There is another new item! (Joy!) This is the Dimensional Key, which grants Lemeza the ability to permanently kill the mini-bosses. Without this kills do not count. To retrieve, go to Chamber of Birth and open the chest by using the Infinite key while falling endlessly. Then open the path from the room to the right (use wall warps to arrive). Easy to get from there. ======Massive Game Checklist====== [GP_009] TO BE WORKED ON! Right now the outline of the guide is pretty much this... ======Acknowledgements / To do List====== [GP_010] Thank you to UltraJMan for introducing me to La Mulana and the joys of this game. Thank you to CrispyYoshi for the image of the new 'numbers' puzzle and also for being there and apart of the crew. Thank you to the crew who helped J and myself and a few others accomplish the feat of beating this game while still in japanese! I still have to actually write a physical walkthrough other than just a list of checkpoints with minor details. Need to retrieve the list of functions of rom combos. Need to retrieve the list of the rest of the roms. Need to find the "alleged" emusic2.exe Need to write a "good" boss guide. Need to devote more time to this guide. Need to include more of the optionals (like Gate of Time) COPYRIGHT ANDREW "RANEOFSOTN" MELNYK 2011 This guide is permitted for use only on gamefaqs.com Any other website using this guide without my permission is obviously breaking this and I would appreciate notices.
