What are they all? A) 47 in total, 12 on each 'layer' of the box apart from 11 on the fourth layer. However, 10 of these are comprised of four pieces each, so there are actually 77 items/item-pieces to find. The 47 are: FIRST LAYER Layout *********** 1) Dolphin Medal 1 2 3 4 2) Ancient Bronze Mirror 5 6 7 8 3) Pirate's Compass 9 10 11 12 4) Storyboard 5) Flame-patterned Vessel 6) Sphere of Manaurai 7) Intriguing Idol 8) Nephrite Inscription 9) Anomalocaris Fossil 10) Red Coral 11) Golden Statue 12) Jingdezhen Plate SECOND LAYER ************ 13) Memorable Shell 13 14 15 16 14) Goddess Shell 17 18 19 20 15) Vintage Lighter 21 22 23 24 16) ??????????????? 17) Tin Toy 18) Patrick's Pocket Watch 19) Wine Glass 20) A Shark-tooth Necklace 21) Elusive Napoleon Coin 22) Antique Cup 23) Silver Fork 24) Glass Perfume Bottle THIRD LAYER *********** 25) Picture Frame 25 26 27 28 26) Tiara 29 30 31 32 27) Expensive Fountain Pen 33 34 35 36 28) German-made Harmonica 29) Cassette Tape 30) Very Rare Drinks Can 31) Glass Buoy 32) Calcified Fossil 33) Amber Lizard 34) Obsidian Arrowhead 35) Whalebone Lure 36) Good Luck Shells FOURTH LAYER ************ 37) Old Bracelet 37 38 39 40 38) ??????????????? 41 42 43 44 39) Life Beads 45 46 47 40) Steel Shell 41) Aqua Amethyst 42) Stone Mask 43) Ammonite Fossil 44) Dream Shell 45) ??????????????? 46) ??????????????? 47) ??????????????? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q) How do I find the items? A) It depends. There are basically two types of items; those that are in fixed locations and those which are randomly placed. The fixed ones 'shine' repeatedly to indicate where they are. and this can be seen from quite a distance. The random ones don't shine, but have a small probability of appearance when you're investigating the usual shines that occur to show where the zoom mode should be used to see small fishes. Random ones can also show up over and over again, for no benefit upon collection. Of the fixed ones, some aren't available for collection from the get-go though in their normal location. These are; * Patrick's Pocket Watch (unlocked as standard in the plot) * Old Bracelet (unlocked by the 'White Dolphin' email) * Life Beads (unlocked by the 'Strange Ceremony' email) Precise details of unlocking can be found below in the item description. Of the 28 random ones, whilst the exact location is random, the items are divided between the different play areas. They are distributed as follows: Manaurai Sea ------------ * Memorable Shell * Goddess Shell * Vintage Lighter * Tin Toy * Wine Glass * Elusive Napoleon Coin * Antique Cup * Silver Fork * Glass Perfume Bottle * Expensive Fountain Pen * German-made Harmonica * Very Rare Drinks Can * Glass Buoy Great Aqua Cave --------------- * Calcified Fossil * Amber Lizard * Obsidian Arrowhead * Whalebone Lure Abyss ----- * Aqua Amethyst * Steel Shell * Stone Mask * Ammonite Fossil Underwater Ruins of Marige Atoll -------------------------------- * Good Luck Shells * ??????????????? * ??????????????? Ocean's Graveyard ----------------- * Dream Shell * ??????????????? * ??????????????? * ??????????????? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q) So how do I find all the random items? A) Good question. I haven't yet! They can sometimes appear with very low probability, and can also occur repeatedly eg, you find 10 Memorable Shells in a row (for no benefit after the first one) but can't find one of the other items after hours of searching! It seems that their propensity to be found isn't entirely random; it's possible a certain item is more or less likely to appear depending on locations recently visited, or perhaps some are unlocked in certain seasons or after a certain amount of time has elapsed. I've been able to determine that the random item availability isn't affected either by performance in Diving Guide or Photo requests (I've played a file with neither ever fulfilled and plenty of random items easily found), but further than that the jury's still out on a method cleverer than just hours of searching! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q) Any searching tips? A) Well, first of all get the mechanics right: swim near the surface you're searching (the floor is best most of the time) so the cursor goes yellow rather than blue. Now swim along and gently wave the cursor left and right to 'scan' the most ground. When it flashes, and a chime sounds, use the + button to go into search mode and see if the shine contains anything other than sealife. 9 out of 10 times it won't, but don't give up! For the Manaurai Sea items, my search routine is usually to park the Gabbiano next to the Secret Lake, and search the Ki Tsuo Promenade and Secret Lake sandy ocean floors. This takes about 5 mins and an item is usually found; whether it's a new one or not is another thing. And don't give up once you've got one, as I've found 3 on one dive before. For the other locations, the floors in the big rooms in the Great Aqua Cave are best (the first cave, and Great Column etc). In the Abyss, search the sandy floor in the Graveyard. In the Ruins I'd guess go for the sand again, and the ship deck in Ocean's Graveyard. Then again, I've not found many of the items in these areas so I wouldn't consider myself an expert yet! Every now and again your partner will find an item, but this doesn't seem to signify anything particular - it's just one you haven't got to yet (or, frustratingly, one you've already found. Shut it, porpoise!). Shells turn up all the time, so be prepared to hate the Memorable Shell with a passion. And it might just be me, but the Striated Frogfish seems to be the greatest bearer of items as far as accompanying sealife goes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q) Does anything happen when all of them are found? A) Will have to wait for that one. Seeing as the unlockable for completing the Guide to Marine Life is the White Mother unlocked in the Aquarium, I'd imagine it's a fairly minor unlocakble if anything... However, there is another hint that might indicate something, an email recieved when the plot is completed: Leonard D.: Email: Treasure Trove "Apologies for writing to you out of the blue. I specialise in all manner of oceanic research: I suppose you caould say we're in the same line of work. I have heard a lot about your activities and it got me interested in the Manaurai Sea. Along with new species of giant whales, you've also discovered ancient ruins. It sounds like this sea is full of rich pickings, with statues and carvings waiting to be salvaged. I hope to be able to visit the Manaurai Sea at some point and look forward to meeting you while I am there." So maybe he arrives to give you the 48th treasure if the other 47 are found? Unlikely, perhaps, as I know all 47 were found in the Japansese version and heard no mention of a 48th. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q) What unlockables are available by finding items? * Dolphin Medal and Patrick's Pocket Watch are essential to unlock further plot events. * The Pirate's Ship's locations are revealed by completing the Pirate's Compass. * Twinkle suit (female) or Burning heat suit (male) are unlocked by completing the Flame-patterned Vessel. * Intriguing Idol unlocks 5 Platinum hair styles: Mild, Modern, Chic, Loose for each item piece found, Simple when complete (female) or; Mild, Modern, Long, Normal for each item piece found, Mixed when complete (male). * Ability to read Ancient Manaurai Language is unlocked by completing the Nephrite Inscription. * Leaf green suit (female) or Intrepid suit (male) are unlocked by completing the Anomalocaris Fossil. * Hibiscus suit (female) or Light blue suit (male) are unlocked by completing the Red Coral. * Striped suit (female) or Mind's eye suit (male) are unlocked by completing the Golden Statue. * Curiosity suit (female) or Sea anenome suit (male) are unlocked by completing the Jingdezhen Plate. * Magu Tapah (giant great white shark) appears in the Ocean's Graveyard once the Shark-tooth Necklace is found. * The Orca (killer whale) appears in the Ocean's Graveyard once the Life Beads are found. * The Beluga (white dolphin) appears in the Underwater Ruins once the Old Bracelet has been found. * When all five shells are found (Memorable Shell, Goddess Shell, Good Luck Shells, Steel Shell, Dream Shell), Simple blond hairstyle (female) or Mixed blond hairstyle (male) are unlocked. See the specific item info below for details on the unlockables. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q) Do you need to get all the items to complete the game? A) To complete the plot, no, only the Dolphin Medal and Patrick's Pocket Watch are essential. If you want to fill your Guide to Marine Life, you're also going to need to get the Life Beads (Orca), Old Bracelet (Beluga), Shark-tooth Necklace (Magu Tapah) and Pirate's Compass (if you don't know where the Pirate's Ship is to get to all the Ocean's Graveyard creatures!). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q) So collecting all the shells unlocks new hairstyles? A) Yep, Simple blond hairstyle (female) or Mixed blond hairstyle (male). When found, you get the folowing exchanges: Catherine: "Looks like you've been busy, collecting all these shells. You've got quite a collection, from normal kinds to some rather rare ones too. While we're on the subject of shells, don't you think they look kind of like hairstyles? What's wrong? It looks like you've got something on your mind... What? You want to change your hairstyle? Okay, I see. Well, if that's the case, I'll have Douglas prepare some material!" Douglas Ribona: Email: New Hair Style "Catherine asked me to send over some new hair-styling goods, so here you go. I just wonder what exactly you're planning to do with them... Is someone going for a complete style overhaul?" As you can see, Catherine nearly manages to outdo herself in terms of embarrassingly contrived links, from shells to hairstyles. Only beaten later on by her Picture Frame to hairstyles debacle. =============================================================================== ============== SALVAGED ITEMS #1 ============== =============================================================================== *********** First layer #01 *********** ===== Row 1 ===== 1) Dolphin Medal ***************** Description: A commemorative gold medal with a dolphin and a bay leaf motif, reading "16th Drift Race Champion". Location: Blue Hall, L2 (bottom right), on a platform coral just inside the north entrance. Item becomes available after the email below is read, sent after the Coral Forest survey is complete. Alfred Tollman: Email: Mysterious Manaurai "It seems that you have completed the ocean floor topography survey of Coral Forest. Many thanks for this. The Manaurai Sea remains full of mysteries, making surveys of this nature extremely valuable. Speaking of mysteries, south of the lagoon there is a spot known as Blue Hall. Occasionally unusual items have been known to turn up there, brought by the ocean currents. If you have time, perhaps you could go and see what you can find..." Unlocks: This is a plot event and thus allows the plot to continue; the Dolphin can now be followed back to the Lagoon and then led out to become your partner, which leads onto the next plot event. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Ancient Bronze Mirror ************************* Description: A bronze mirror depicting an image of the legendary white whale. Not unlike 3rd century Japanese mirrors. Partial: Bronze Mirror Fragment; It seems to be an old bronze mirror. Locations: Rowa's Jewel Box, K1 (bottom left), on the sandy floor. L3 (bottom left), on the central rock in between coral. E Maraui Hollow, D2 (top right), on the sandy floor. E3 (top left), in the middle of the rocky outcrop. Catherine: "Looks like you've found all the Bronze Mirror Fragments. Let's put this thing back together and take a look... It seems to be east Asian, and probably for religious services. Judging by the shape, it could be of Japanese origin... The engraved whale likeness resembles that of the legends. It could even be a 3rd century ancient bronze mirror. But why would a Japanese artifact like this be here? There are legends in Manaurai about sacred whales. Creatures revered by the locals since days of old. Blue whales, the largest creatures on earth appear in these legends from time to time. Where were they seen? Well, with a body as large as that, certainly not in the shallow sea that surrounds the islands. Maybe you should look for an area facing the open sea." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Pirate's Compass ******************** Description: A message in ancient lettering says: We're born of the sea, to it we return. <> Partial: Compass Piece; Mysterious old apparatus. Locations: Secret Lake, J9 (top right), in the sand near the central coral. B8 (top left), in the coral on the edge of the drop-off. Taganua Bay, H1 (bottom left), in the sand near the shallows. Lagoon M1, (bottom right), in the sand between two rocks. Catherine: "Looks like you've found all the Compass Pieces. Let's put this thing back together and take a look... It seems to be an old nautical compass, with Chinese-influuenced designs on it. I'd say it's an 18th century European piece. What's this? There's a latin inscription and a map... I'll have a read through. - We're born of the sea - - To it we return - - Years filled by the tide - - Of lands which we yearn - - To Whale Island we head - - To home we return - - Triumphant are we - - 3 stars, see them burn - It doesn't make much sense... But the map, it looks like part of Manaurai, and the 3 stars marked on it correspond with <> <> <> on our map! What could they possibly represent?" Unlocks: Pirate Ship appears in one of the three locations on the compass once approximately 60% of the map has been uncovered. At this point the email from Douglas below is sent. The specific location of the Ship varies each day but can be determined by surfacing when diving near the possible locations and looking around. Once the Pirate Ship is entered (through a hole in the bow) it will carry you to the Ocean's Graveyard. Douglas Ribona: Email: Ghost Ship "Hey, how's it going? Recently I've heard rumours that local fishermen in Paoul have seen a Ghost Ship! It's strange that even in the 21st century, tales like this persist. Anyhow, I did a bit of investigating and apparently the same story seems to appear every 40 years or so! ...I wonder what it all means? It would make a great article, but I need some more material. If you have anything that might help me with the article, get in touch." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Storyboard ************** Description: Carved wooden board with a story telling an old Paoul Republic story. It shows a woman holding a fruit. Partial: Storyboard Piece; Has an engraving on it. Locations: Den of Spirits, H3 (bottom right), on the sand by the goby rock. Ancestral Reef, K7 (bottom left), on the sandy floor. Deep Valley, F6 (top right), in the northwest crevasse point. E1 (bottom right), on the rock between the seaweed. Catherine: "Looks like you've found all the Storyboard Pieces. Let's put this thing back together and take a look... It's a piece of traditional Paoul folk craft, that has been carved out of mahogany. It shows a myth that was told across neighbouring islands. When it comes to myths and legends, Douglas knows it all. I wonder what kind of tale it tells. I'll get in touch with him as soon as I can!" Douglas: Email: The Judgement Fruit "Catherine told me you found a storyboard. It may be from a Paoul myth called "The Judgement Fruit". It goes a bit like this... Once, on a small island, a mysterious tree grew. Its fruit was highly sought after so the people worked to protect it. One day, the king of a larger island invaded and killed all the people. He brought back the fruit to his queen, who devoured it greedily. Suddenly, it began to rain heavily. It continued for over a year, and the island sank into the ocean. It is said that the fruit was cursed... I guess it must have some kind of moral." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ===== Row 2 ===== 5) Flame-patterned Vessel ************************** Description: Flames, or maybe water, adorn this item. It dates back between 2,000 and 10,000 years. Partial: Earthenware Piece; An old piece of earthenware. Location: *Great Aqua Cave* Great Aqua Cave, G3 (bottom left), on the sandy floor Great Column, H3 (top right), on the floor near the column. Stalagtite Maze, G7 (bottom left), on the floor at the dead-end. Cascade Pool, E7 (bottom right), under the gap at the south end. Catherine: "Looks like you've found an Earthenware Piece. Can't believe you found an item like this in a limestone cave! You may have stumbled on a very significant object... I'd better let Mr Tollman see it, he's well known and has friends in the right places, I'm sure he can put us in touch with someone who can help." Norisuke Takahashi: Email: Unexplained Fragment "My name is Takahashi, and I work for the National Museum of Ethnology in Japan. Mr Tollman was kind enough to inform me that fragments of an earthenware vessel with flame patterns had been found in Manaurai in an underwater cavern. Flame-patterned vessels were produced mainly in Japan some 4000-5000 years ago. I am intrigued that such an artifact was found in a cavern in the South Pacific. This may be evidence of a mass-migration of the people of the Pacific Rim. If you find any other fragments, please allow me to assist in their analysis." Catherine: "Looks like you've found all the Earthenware Pieces. Let's put this thing back together and take a look... I believe it's a piece from the Japanese Jomon period. Often referred to as "flame-patterned", others call it "water flow" instead as it also resembles a surge of water. Strange, considering fire and water are opposites. Don't you think the description is a little ambiguous? Someone I know is particularly interested in this kind of find, I'll get in touch right away. They're bound to like this." Norisuke Takahashi: Email: An Important Find "This is Takahashi from the National Museum of Ethnology in Japan. I hear you have gathered more fragments of the flame-patterned vessel. Viewing the pictures of the fragments, I can tell this is an important find. This vessel closely resembles those made in the south of the Chiba region of Japan. Many of the remains in Chiba show evidence of South Pacific influence. I believe that 10,000 years ago, Chiba and Manaurai may have had some kind of interaction and I want to research this further. As a token of my appreciation, I include a small gift." Unlocks: Twinkle suit (female) or Burning heat suit (male) when complete. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6) Sphere of Manaurai ********************** Description: Found in a limestone cave, this metallic orb has ancient writing on it, but its usage is unknown. Location: *Great Aqua Cave* White Room, E4 (bottom left), on the white mound in the centre. Catherine: "That's quite an interesting find. This is likely to be the cave's most inner sanctum. Perhaps this is the concealed area that is said to be home to the Mermaid's Treasure?" Catherine: "You've found the Sphere of Manaurai. It appears to be a metallic, man-made object, yet remains unblemished even after all this time underwater. It's so intricately detailed, and virtually flawless in shape. The people of ancient Paoul didn't possess ironware or writing making the origin of this an even greater mystery. Did you know, objects of an undetermined origin like this are referred to as ooparts, or "Out Of Place Artifacts"? It'll definitely make a worthy donation to a museum." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7) Intriguing Idol ******************* Description: An unusually-shaped earthen figure of unknown origin. It gives off a strange feeling of foreboding... Partial: Stautue Piece; A slightly eerie-looking piece... Location: *Underwater Ruins of Marige Atoll* E3 (top right), in a hollow in the south side of the wall. I3 (bottom right), on the roof by the round structures. Room of Oracles, E6 (top right), on the floor by the wall. I2 (top left), on the sandy floor between the large stone slabs. Notes: When each piece is found, one of the following poem lines is read out, and a threatening email sent with a new hairstyle. A final email is sent with another hairstyle when the item is complete. This is the only item that technically has a correct order in which to collect the pieces (as I've ordered it above), so the poem and emails are in the right order. Not that it really matters, mind. ............ ...Child of Hin and Joan... ............ ............ ...A spell on Wahga thrown... ............ ............ ...Crime of impure blood... ............ ............ ...The sleeping one, atone... ............ Unknown sender: Email: Get rid of it or else... "It appears you have found a piece of a statue... I warn you that you must dispose of it immediately. Heed these words if you want to escape the ancient curse that has been placed upon this object. The statue contains the spirit of an evil god from the Paleolithic era. Delve too deep into this matter and your hair will turn white with fear... You want to know who I am? That is of absolutely no importance..." Unknown sender: Email: You can still make it... "So you possess another piece of the statue... Act now and you may still have time to save yourself. Escape before his eyes lock onto you... You would do well to affix silver foil to the four walls of the room. Your hair will turn white with fear... You want to know who I am? That is of absolutely no importance..." Unknown sender: Email: Watch your back! "So you possess another piece of the statue... You are not safe from its terrible curse. It may already be too late for you to save yourself... Watch your back! Your hair will turn white from fear... You want to know who I am? That is of absolutely no importance..." Unknown sender: Email: Hearing voices? "So you possess another piece of the statue... Can you hear its spine-chilling voice calling you? It is a voice emanating from the darkest depths. It is the voice of an evil god that curses all living things... Your hair will turn white from fear... You want to know who I am? That is of absolutely no importance..." Unknown sender: Email: This is the end... "It appears you have restored the statue. But I have bad news for you - it is already far too late! Your hair will turn white from fear... Wait... What's happening...? It wasn't just me who was watching... He is coming for me again... This may be the end... There is something... From the window..." Catherine: "Looks like you've found all the Statue Pieces. Let's put this thing back together... and... there's something I don't like about this artifact, like something bad will happen if I reassemble it... Oh well, let's do it anyway! It's a very rare clay figure, the kind you don't often see. Swirling patterns have been carved into the entire body, possibly resembling tattoos which are commonplace in cultures around the Pacific rim. The firgure is in the shape of a "Banshin", literally meaning "foreign god", or "god from another world". There's definitely something I don't like about this..." Unlocks: 5 Platinum hair styles: Mild, Modern, Chic, Loose for each item piece found, Simple when complete (female) or; Mild, Modern, Long, Normal for each item piece found, Mixed when complete (male). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8) Nephrite Inscription ************************ Description: Upon closer inspection of this nephrite-made item, the words seem to differ from top to bottom. Partial: Inscription Piece; Ancient words have been carved onto this. Location: *Underwater Ruins of Marige Atoll* Central Hall, H5 (bottom left), in the middle of the hall floor. Inside the Ruins, E4 (bottom left), on the floor by the dead-end. H7 (bottom right) * 2 Catherine: "Looks like you've found all the Inscription Pieces. Let's put this thing back together and take a look... Wow, this is an exquisite stone artifact! It looks like it was from New Zealand originally... and made from highly-polished greenstone. There's something written on the surface, but something's out of place... I know someone who might be able to shed some light. I'll contact an archaeology professor I know right away." Prof. Gregario Muller: Email: Secrets in the Inscription "Regarding the inscription in nephrite, I believe this to be a very significant find which could give a great boost to archaeology in the South Pacific. Presently, I am still trying to decipher the inscription. The process will be sped up, the more information we gather about stones from ancient ruins. Please wait a little longer for more news." Notes: All 6 inscriptions must be checked (E5, E6, G4, H7, I3, I5) and the resulting 6 emails read for the following conversations to occur once the item is complete: Prof. Gregario Muller: Email: Deciphered Manaurai Script "Great news! We succeeded in our analysis of the nephrite inscription, allowing us to decipher the script used in the ruins. It is written in two separate languages, but means the same in both. Half is written in ancient Manaurai script. The other half is in the carved symbols, or petroglyphs, of ancient Paoul, which we can already comprehend. Using these petroglyphs, we can decipher the Manaurai script. I'll make a report of the language's script and grammar, which will allow you to deciper it freely." Catherine: "Prof Nuller seems to have had some success with the writing. Well, no time like the present, let's get our heads round the huge amount of text the good professor sent us! That wasn't so bad, was it. Hopefully, now we'll be able to decipher the ancient text!" Unlocks: *You can now read Ancient Manaurai Language* This means the stone tablets in the ruins can now be deciphered: ...the bracelet passed to the white ones who obey the prince... ...the treasure passed to the black ones who obey the princess... ...seven tribes under the white king. The flood comes forth... ...the king stands firm against the God and his flood... ...eternal sleep covers the earth. The kingdoms fate is decided... ...he falls with his city. A new kingdom springs up in the west... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ===== Row 3 ===== 9) Anomalocaris Fossil *********************** Description: These large carnivorous marine creatures lived during the Cambrian period around 540m years ago. Partial: Fossil Segment; The fossilised remains of an unusual creature. Location: *Abyss* Crystal Cave, G3 (bottom right), on the cave floor mid-passage. Secret Cave, G7 (top left), on the cave floor mid-way through. Graveyard, F5 (bottom right), on the floor at the ribcage top. Graveyard, I5 (top left), on the floor by the sulphur vents. Catherine: "Looks like you've found all the Fossil Segments. Let's put this thing back together and take a look... Anomalocaris was a fierce carnivorous marine creature that came into being over 500 million years ago as a result of the Cambrian Explosion. Its appearance is like nothing from any other era, and was laughed at when first shown to scientific society. Hard to believe this once existed, isn't it? This truly is an unprecedented event, the first fossil of its type to be discovered in Manaurai. We must take good care of this piece of history." Nikolai Komodo: Email: Fossil Analysis Request "My name is Nikolai Komodo, and I am a curator at the Kayah National Musuem. Ms. Catherine Sunday gave me your contact details. The fossil which you recently found is most interesting. It is a fossil of a very unusual creature that lived some 500 million years ago in the Cambrian Period. Remains of the same creature have been found in China, the USA and Australia but the fossil you found is different from those seen previously. I would very much like to carry out a detailed analysis of the fossil. I have sent something which I hope will be of some use to you." Unlocks: Leaf green suit (female) or Intrepid suit (male) when complete. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10) Red Coral ************* Description: Scarlet-coloured coral growing deep in the ocean. Its colour, size and scarcity make it extremely precious. Partial: Coral Piece; Blood red coral. Location: *Abyss* Fiends Cave, D6 (bottom right), on the floor near the coral. Fiends Cave, D6 (bottom right), on the floor near the coral. I5 (bottom right), by the coral in the cave behind the vents. I5 (bottom right), by the coral in the cave behind the vents. Catherine: "Looks like you've found all the Coral Pieces. Let's put this thing back together and take a look... Phylum Cnidaria, class Anthozoa, coral remains a respected form of animal life. When coral dies, it leaves behind hard skeletons which become part of coral reefs, or break down into sand or, in rarer cases, become precious stones like this. I imagine something like this is very valuable! ... *Gulp*... I wonder how much you'd get if you sold it? Just for the sake of it, I'll get in touch with a jeweller I know." The Paoul Jewellers: Email: Red Coral "Thank you for contacting us about the Red Coral. This is truly a superb find! We would very much like to purchase this item at the price we discussed. Please confirm if this is acceptable to you. As a token of our appreciation, we have sent you some of the very latest diving gear." Unlocks: Hibiscus suit (female) or Light blue suit (male) when complete. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11) Golden Statue ***************** Description: A standing statue of Amitabha Tathagata, who offers mercy and paradise to all. It looks valuable. Partial: Golden Statue Piece; A shining, golden Buddhist statue. Location: *Ocean's Graveyard* Inside the Wreck, F4 (bottom right), on the raised walkway. Debris of Crashed Plane, I7 (top left), inside crashed fuselage. The Sunken Ship, H4 (top right), at the top of the broken mast. F4 (top left), on the sandy floor next to the ship. Catherine: "Looks like you've found all the Golden Statue Pieces. Let's put this thing back together and take a look... This appears to be a statue of Amitabha Tathagata, a Buddha figure that's revered in Buddhism. Actually, there are many types of these in Buddhism, Bodhisattva, is the shape of apprenticeship, and Myo-o is that of anger. Buddha, the highest rank, indicates enlightenment. Amitabha Tathagata leads the dead to the Buddhist's paradise, and is a very high-ranking Buddha indeed! So make sure you take good care of this piece, and never know, it might just answer your prayers." Email: You're a Prize Winner! "Thank you for entering the prize draw to celebrate the 5th birthday of Aqua Dive magazine. We are pleased to inform you that you are one of the prize winners! You are now the lucky owner of a state-of-the-art wetsuit! Many congratulations! Aqua Dive Editorial Team [note] The address you provided was in the middle of the sea. We hope this reaches you safely!" Unlocks: Striped suit (female) or Mind's eye suit (male) when complete. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12) Jingdezhen Plate ******************** Description: A piece of Jingdezhen pottery made in 16th or 17th century China. A highly sought after antique item. Partial: Plate Fragment; It seems to be an old Chinese plate. Location: *Ocean's Graveyard The Sunken Ship, I4 (top right), on the floor by the ship's top. H3 (bottom right), on the sandy floor inside a broken funnel. Inside the wreck, H4 (top left), on the floor by the stairs. F5 (bottom right), on the floor next to the tyre. Catherine: "Looks like you've found all the Plate Fragments. Let's put this thing back together and take a look... This is a piece of world famous pottery from Jingdezhen, a city in the Jiangxi region of China. The production of this pottery began hundreds of years ago and was prolific enough to be exported across Europe, Islamic countries and all over the world, meaning that prices and quality vary a lot. This item, however, looks like it could be a valuable piece. A group of antique specialists recently came to the main island, so this could be a good opportunity to have it valued. I'll contact Mr Tollman to make the necessary arrangements." Alfred Tollman: Email: W.F. Heaton's Collection "The results of the experts' appraisal are in, and they are most surprising! Although the Jingdezhen Plate is not in good condition, it apparently has enrmous historical value. In the 16th century, the rich European collector, William Frederick Heaton, had this plate made for him by one of the most celebrated craftsmen of the Ming Period. Through various accidents of history, the plate passed through several nobles' hands and finally disappeared without trace. That is the plate you found. You found something of real value. Please accept this as a reward."

I might have an idea of what the problem is. I've known her since she was a kid living in Paoul and I'm pretty sure she's dwelling on something in her past. It'd be best to ask her directly about her past. But I doubt it'll be easy to get anything out of her. You need some clue to get her to open up and talk. Have you ever seen her pray facing the sea? She always faces something - the Green Garden. In the Green Garden you'll find a clue to opening up her heart..." Catherine: "It can't be!? That belonged to my father! You picked it up off the ocean floor, didn't you? My father lost his life in the waters of Manaurai chasing a dream that he was never able to realise. Since I can't keep anything hidden from you, let me tell you about my purpose... As I said before, I was born here in Paoul. There's an ancient legend here, maybe you've heard of it? It's about a huge white animal known as White Mother. Said to be the origin of all life, its form is a giant, white whale and has been sighted by many since the days of old. 20 years ago, she revealed herself to my father... who had chosen not to believe the stories surrounding the whale, concluding it was a UMA, or Unidentified Mysterious Animal. Bigger even than a blue whale, the planet's largest mammal, this whale was the most significant new species ever and so he began to pursue it for scientific investigation. But in doing so, he pushed us away from normal society as he went against all that the residents of Paoul held dear. We were shunned by them and left to stand alone. Then one day, he just vanished in the Manaurai Sea during an underwater survey. The purpose I talk about is to do what my father couldn't... to find the White Mother! By doing so, I can let go of my regrets and... restore my father's reputation. That's it, that's what I have to do. Now if you don't mind, I'd like some time alone. Thank you for listening to me..." Unlocks: This is a plot event and thus allows the plot to continue; Catherine soon decides to enlist your help in tracing the White Mother. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19) Wine Glass ************** Description: A late 18th century British-made wine tasting glass.

Location: Knives Reef, D5 (top left) on the sand at the bottom of the reef. Catherine: "That looks like a pretty rare item you've found... I think it's a shark-tooth necklace. The shark is a revered animal in many South Pacific countries, and it's the same here in Paoul too. Their ferocity and toughness is often admired, especially by soldiers. The most noted example is the God of Violence and Death who had the form of Magu Tapah, a giant great white. From the size of that tooth, it must have been huge, possibly even something nearing the size of Magu Tapah... Perhaps it'll bring you luck if you wear it?"

              "How are you?  I'm sure you are fully acclimatised to Manaurai by
              now.  I am writing because I heard a strange rumour the other 
              day.  Apparently, there have been a number of sightings of a 
              mysterious glowing white dolphin by Paoul fishermen who got lost
              in the area west of Rock Land.  If you're interested, perhaps you
              could investigate.  This is the area where the ruins were 
              discovered.  Perhaps other secrets are waiting to be 
              uncovered..."

Catherine:    "Looks like you've found an Old Bracelet.  It appears to have 
              some kind of engraving on it.  Let me see...  The emblem is that
              of a seven-headed serpent...  Which suggests it was once owned 
              by royalty.  

              This reminds me of an old Paoul folk tale about a kingdom long 
              ago that was threatened by a great flood and of a brave prince 
              who could control dolphins using the power of a mysterious 
              bracelet.  Anyway, he used it to avert the disaster and all was 
              well.  The bracelet in the story was said to be very distinctive,
              an item truly fit for a king and possessing unique powers.  
              Could this really be the same item?  It might be a good idea to
              wear it, for good luck."

Unlocks:      The Beluga appears in the small chamber at H7 (bottom left)

              recently.  Remember to take care of your health - this is your
              most important resource!  That reminds me of a ceremony people
              in the Paoul Republic have taken part in since time immemorial.  

              They pray to the storm god for good health and even for 
              immortality before a rock shaped like a human face.  It's just a
              superstition, but take note of it anyway.  You never know when 
              this information might come in useful."

Catherine:    "Like like you've found some Life Beads.  These items are known
              as "Comma-shaped beads".  In Japan, they were used as bodily 
              accessories.  They existed her in Paoul too, but according to 
              legend, they belonged to a medium who served Tso, Matah and 
              Wengah, the Gods of storms, calm and war, who decorated her body
              with them.  Tso, Matah and Wengah were said to be the ruler of

              granted their friendship and protection."
