I know that a few of the names are different in the North American version, but I can't check these and don't have a complete list, so I've just decided to stick entirely with the names used in the version I have. Also, for now at least, some of the information here is taken from memory, since I haven't had a chance to go back and replay to check. There are also a few gaps where I just can't remember things. If you can fill any of these gaps or correct any mistakes I've made, please email me. I can be reached at lowercaserho@googlemail.com and prefer that any email about this guide contains "Endless Ocean 2 Guide" somewhere in the email subject. 3. General Tips If you've completed the game's main story line, you can find out where to find a legendary creature by selecting it's silhouette in the marine encyclopaedia. This can be very helpful, but also sometimes maddening, since it doesn't tell you any of the criteria you need to fulfil for the creature to appear, such as whether they only appear at night. Some legendary creatures can only be found by completing a specific quest or special request. If you can't find a creature where it's meant to be, you probably don't have the required quest. Some don't have any quest associated with them and can just be stumbled on randomly. Don't try waiting for a quest for these, because you'll be waiting forever! For most legendary creatures, the easiest way to find them is to dive with Hayako and use her ability to display fish on the map. Press 1 to bring up the map, then select the fish icon. You can then cycle through the fish in the area by pressing left and right on the wiimote's d-pad. Unknown fish will show up as "???" and could be the legendary creature you're looking for. A couple of legendary creatures are small and can only be found in zoom mode, by focussing on the glowing yellow dots you sometimes come across while diving. When searching for these, it's better to dive with Oceane, since this makes finding the glowing yellow dots easier. For most Legendary Creatures, you won't receive credit for finding them (in terms of the title and the encyclopaedia entry) unless you focus on them. In some cases, this means that you can see a cut scene containing them and still not be credited. There are three exceptions to this, which we'll get to in due course. 4. The Legendary Creatures 4.1 Ice Cupid Area: North Coast of Canada Location: B2 (SW) Conditions: None Title: Winged Cupid Notes: This is a small creature found in zoom mode, so bring Oceane. Look for it at the edge of the ice hole. 4.2 Ailorous Pearl Area: Valka Castle Location B3 NE Conditions: None Title: Lucky Streak Notes: This is a small creature found in zoom mode, so bring Oceane. Look for it in the south west corner of the ballroom, just in front of the throne. 4.3 Grave Keeper Area: Zahhab Region Depths Location: C4 NW Condition: Special Request - The Grave Keeper Quest Prerequisite: Not certain but I think completing the part of the main story in the Depths opens this quest. Title: Grave Guardian Notes: Found in the Twin Caves are of the Zahhab Depths, which are quite easy to miss, since they're some way above the cavern floor. To find them, use your map, get into the right place, then head up until you find a cave you can go into. Once you have the quest, bring Oceane here and you'll find a giant isopod. Once you focus on that, you'll hear a noise coming from the other cave, which upon investigation will turn out to be the Grave Keeper. 4.4 Gungnir Area: Ciceros Strait Location: G1 to H1 Condition: None Title: Norse Viking Notes: Gungnir is very fast moving, so just swimming after him won't let you get close enough to focus on him. Instead, dive with Hayako and observe the path that he swims on your map. That way, you can wait for him at a spot you know he's going to swim past, and focus on him as he does. 4.5 Phantom Area: Valka Castle Location: B3 NE to D2 SW Condition: Night time, Special Request - Ghost of Valka Castle Quest Prerequisite: Unsure. Possibly completion of the main storyline. Title:Cyclades Phantasma Notes: A simple quest. Just go to the area specified at night time with Oceane and Phantom will be there. 4.6 Apollo Area: Deep Hole Location: B3 NW Condition: Night time. Title: Sun Dancer Notes: No quest for this one. Just go to the Deep Hole at night. 4.7 Divine Gift Area: Ciceros Strait Location: C1 to E1 Condition: None Title: Caviar Catch Notes: The hardest thing here is avoiding the great white sharks that swim in the same area. 4.8 Golden Catfish Area: Cortica River Upstream Location: B3 NW Condition: Special Request - Gold Eater Quest Prerequisite: Must have the servant's ring. Title: Diamond Digger Notes: When you first go to this location, you'll see a regular catfish there instead of a golden one. Focus on it and give it the servant's ring. Nothing will happen immediately, but the next time you dive in the Cortica Upstream, the regular catfish will have turned golden. 4.9 Paoul Crocodile Area: Gatama Atoll Location: G8 Condition: Special Request - Mysterious Object Quest Prerequisite: Buy a telescope from Nancy Title: Dragon Tracker Notes: First, you need to buy a telescope for Nineball Island from Nancy. This becomes available as you play through the main story. Once you have it, the quest will tell you to look out to sea on the morning after a full moon. Determining when the moon is full isn't always easy. If you look up when you're on Nineball Island, you'll be able to see it and judge by eye when it's approximately full. Once it's almost full, start looking through the telescope every night, and you will be told when it becomes full. Then wait until morning and look through the telescope. This will update the quest and you'll be able to find the Paoul Crocodile by going ashore at square G8 of Gatama. 4.10 King Gigide Area: Cortica River Upstream Location: C1 SW to D2 NE Condition: Special Request - King Gigide Quest Prerequisite: Must have the Caiman Relic Title: Queen Maker Notes: Once you have the caiman relic and the quest, simply going to the location is enough. Unfortunately, I can't remember how to find the caiman relic. 4.11 Mama Cortica Area: Cortica River Midstream Location: A4 NE Condition: Rain, Special Request - Mother of the Cortica Quest Prerequisite: I think that you need to have befriended the Amazon River Dolphin and then cleared the logs blocking entrance to the pool off the river. Title: Local Legend Notes: Mama Cortica is in the small pool that's off the river and is initially blocked off. To open it up, you need to befriend the Amazon River Dolphin (how to do so is beyond the scope of this guide, but you can do so by following the quest "Be The Best Trainer") then dive with it and select the logs that are causing the blockage. Once you've done this and have the quest, go to the Cortica River and wait around until it starts raining. Then go back to the small pool to find Mama Cortica. 4.12 Arthur Area: Iceberg Caven Location: B2 SE Condition: Special Request - Strange Animal in the Antarctic Quest Prerequisite: Complete the main story Title: White Panther Notes: A straightforward quest that tells you what to do and where to go. 4.13 Snowy Area: Weddell Sea Location: A4 SW Condition: Snow storm, Special Request - Research Subject Quest Prerequisite: Complete the quest "Fragments of Memory" Title: Penguin Maniac Notes: The hardest thing here is getting the quest in the first place. Completing Fragments of Memory isn't straightforward, since lot of the time there's no indication of what you need to do to progress. When this is the case, just keep taking on photo requests from Jean-Eric and eventually the quest will update. Once you've done that and picked up the special request, it's a simple matter of talking to Hayako and then going to the location during a snow storm. 4.14 Big Bobby Area: Weddell Sea Location: A4 SW Condition: None that I recall. Possibly he showed up as part of the main story? Title: Elegant Tuxedo Notes: Unfortunately, I remember very little about how to find Big Bobby. There's no quest associated with him though, so I assume that he can either be found without any conditions or that he shows up as part of the story. 4.15 Kraken Jr. Area: Cavern of the Gods Location: A3 SE to B3 SE Condition: Only appears after re-opening the Cavern of the Gods Title: Clay Horror Notes: Only tricky part here is re-opening the Cavern of the Gods. 4.16 Emperor Area: Cavern of the Gods Location: B2 SW Condition: Only appears after re-opening the Cavern of the Gods Title: Living Fossil Notes: Only tricky part here is re-opening the Cavern of the Gods. 4.17 Cocoa Maharaja Area: Gatama Atoll Location: E4, D5 & E5 Condition: Special Request - Floating Island Quest Prerequisite: Pet the dog when it's by the fire Title: Turtle Hero Notes: First, buy the telescope from Nancy. Then look through it in the morning and you'll see something washed up on the shore in the north of Gatama Atoll. Go to investigate it and you'll find a dog, which you can take home with you. Every day, the dog will move around the island, resting at a different location each day. When he's resting by the campfire (which you also buy from Nancy), pet him and he'll get excited over something. This gives you the quest and you can set off to investigate. Jean-Eric will send you off to various locations, and when you get to them, you need to come to the surface and look around. After doing this a couple of times, you'll find Cocoa Maharaja who you'll then be able to encounter normally. 4.18 Thanatos Area: Ciceros Strait Location: H6 to H7 Condition: Progression through the main story Title: Lone Shark Notes: You can't miss Thanatos as you play through the main story, but you might not manage to focus on it to get the title and encyclopaedia entry. If so, you can go back and find it any time at the location specified. You can also see Thanatos swimming about outside Valka Castle, but won't be able to interact with it in any way here. 4.19 Black Harbinger Area: Gatama Atoll Location: C6 to D7 Condition: Unknown, possibly random Title: Demon Chaser Notes: Normally, there's a regular humpback whale swimming around in these squares, but occasionally it's replaced with the Black Harbinger for no apparent reason. I've found it during the daytime at no specific phase of the moon, so I can rule them out as possibilities. Just keep on looking here and eventually it should show up. 4.20 Leviathan Area: Zahhab Region Location: F4 to F7 Conditions: None Title: Fanatical Captain Notes: Nothing tricky about finding this one at all. 4.21 White Mother Area: North Coast of Canada Location: Most of the map Condition: Special Request - White Mother Quest Prerequisite: Find the whale ornament Title: Amazing Grace Notes: The whale ornament that you need to find to start this quest randomly washes up on the beach behind the campfire on Nineball Island, and will show up as yellow sparkles in the sand. I have no idea what prerequisite you need to meet in order for it to do so. Once you have it, the quest is fairly simple. Jean-Eric tells you that you should be able to find the White Mother in the Arctic, and so you can. The bad news is that it swims over more or less the entirety of the map. The good news is that it's an enormous whale so it's fairly easy to spot. 4.22 Singing Dragon Area: Cavern of the Gods Location: C2 NE to C3 SE Condition: Progression through the main story Title: None Notes: Either focus on it when you meet it in the main story, or come back after reopening the Cavern of the Gods. 4.23 Okeanos' Guadian Area: Cavern of the Gods Location: B2 SW to B3 NW Condition: Progression through the main story Title: None Notes: Either focus on it when you meet it in the main story, or come back after reopening the Cavern of the Gods. In the latter case, you'll need to come back at night. 4.24 Anomalocaris Area: Valka Castle Location: B2 NE to C2 NW Condition: Quest - Voice of the Night Sky, 3. Solar System Title: Ancient Remnant Notes: You need to find all 12 of the solar system coins (8 planets, 2 dwarf planets, the sun and the moon) to make this quest update. Then simply go to the location specified in Valka Castle with GG and a cutscene will trigger. Anomalocaris appears outside the window and can't be focussed on, so triggering the cutscene credits you with the encyclopaedia entry and title. As one of three super-legendary and long-extinct creatures, anomolocaris doesn't appear in the encyclopaedia as a silhouette, and only appears after you find it. 4.25 Cameroceras Area: Zahhab Region Location: H8 Condition: Quest - Voice of the Night Sky, 2. Signs of the Zodiac Title: Mysteriosu Aquanaut Notes: You need to find all 12 of the coins associated with the signs of the zodiac to make this quest update. Then simply go to the location specified in the Zahhab Region with Oceane and a cutscene will trigger. Cameroceras appears further out than you can swim and can't be focussed on, so triggering the cutscene credits you with the encyclopaedia entry and title. As one of three super-legendary and long-extinct creatures, cameroceras doesn't appear in the encyclopaedia as a silhouette, and only appears after you find it. 4.26 Sea Serpent Area: Ciceros Strait Location: D8 to F8 Condition: Quest - Young Entrepreneur, 6. Dark Shadow Title: Miracle Maker Notes: To progress through the quest to part 6, you need to completely map several regions, one of which must be the Ciceros Strait, and then talk to Oceane. Once you reach the part of the quest where you're investigating the dark shadow, simply go to the location specified in the Zahhab Region with Oceane and a cutscene will trigger. The sea serpent appears further out than you can swim and can't be focussed on, so triggering the cutscene credits you with the encyclopaedia entry and title. As one of three super-legendary and long-extinct creatures, the sea serpent doesn't appear in the encyclopaedia as a silhouette, and only appears after you find it. 4.27 Gotta catch 'em all! Once you find all the legendary creatures, you can then talk to Hayako to receive a new title: Myth Finder 5. Credits Thanks to the Endless Ocean 2 board on GameFAQs.
