I was looking for lists like this for awhile and didn't see anything, so I decided to make these myself. The following lists tell you what captains/bosses/unique characters appear in the shorter levels of Adventure mode, separated by type: defeat the giant bosses, defeat all enemies, kill X enemies in Y minutes, and quizzes. All of these are doable in less than 10 minutes, and in many cases much less than that. They follow the labeling convention in the Prima Guide where the rows are A through H starting with A at the top and the columns are 1 through 16 with 1 being on the left, so A1 is the top left square. - Defeat Giant Bosses: Adventure: Argorok - B11 (+1 Manhandla) Manhandla - C10, E2 Imprisoned - H3 King Dodongo - C6, F4, F14, G7, H13 (this one has 3 of them) Gohma - B12, G10 Ganon - B6 (with Gohma and King Dodongo) There was another one I didn't note down because it was just one each of Gohma, Imprisoned, and Argorok, it's somewhere on the far right. - Defeat All Enemies: Adventure: A13 - Imprisoned + 2x mini-Imprisoned, 2x Shield Moblin + 2x Dinolfos, Fiery Aeralfos + Ruto + Lana C4 - Darknut + Stalmaster, 2x Dark Agitha, Icy Big Poe + Agitha + Midna C8 - Moblin + Icy Big Poe, Stalmaster + Dark Agitha, Stalmaster + Volga + Dark Agitha D2 - Big Poe + Icy Big Poe, 2x Icy Big Poe, Stalmaster + Big Poe + Icy Big Poe D10 - Dinolfos + Darknut, Dinolfos + Dark Ruto, Dinolfos + Aeralfos + Ruto D12 - 2x ReDead Knights, Wizzro + Big Poe, ReDead Knight + Fiery Aeralfos + Volga E16 - 2x ReDead Knights + Fiery Aeralfos, Wizzro + ReDead Knight, Fiery Aeralfos + Volga + Argorok F13 - ReDead Knight, ReDead Knight + Big Poe, 2x Lizalfos + ReDead Knight G1 - 2x ReDead Knight + Fiery Aeralfos, Volga + ReDead Knight, King Dodongo + Fiery Aeralfos + ReDead Knight G6 - 2x Dinolfos + Darknut, 2x Aeralfos, Imprisoned + 2x mini-Imprisoned G13 - 2x mini-Imprisoned + ReDead Knight, Volga + ReDead Knight, Imprisoned + 2x mini-Imprisoned - Kill X enemies in Y minutes / Rack KO Count maps: Note: These are pretty good for murdering the playable cast since they all seem to have significantly lower health than they would in any other mission. Giant bosses tend to go down easy, too, or can just be ignored if you're feeling pressured for time. Adventure: A1 - 4x Imprisoned, Lizalfos, Cia, Zelda, Ganondorf, Link C12 - 2x Manhandla, Icy Big Poes, Darunia, Sheik, Ruto D3 - 2x Manhandla, ReDead Knights, Midna, Agitha, Lana D6 - 2x Gohma, Moblins, Zant, Volga, Wizzro D14 - 2x King Dodongo, Gibdos, Link, Lana, Impa E4 - 3x King Dodongo, Aeralfos, Lana, Sheik, Fi, Link E8 - 2x Gohma, Lizalfos, Darknut, Moblin E11 - 2x Gohma, Stalmasters, Ruto, Darunia, Sheik F11 - 2x King Dodongo, Darknuts, Dinolfos, Lana G2 - 3x Gohma, Fiery Aeralfos, Ghirahim, Fi, Link, Zelda G4 - 3x Manhandla, Dinolfos, Lana, Impa, Link, Zelda G12 - 3x Manhandla, Stalmasters, Dark Impa, Dark Sheik, Dark Zelda, Cia H8 - King Dodongo, Big Poe, Lizalfos, Darknut - Quizzes: Notes: The correct answer is listed first in each pair, barring any screwups. In quizzes, it is possible to get the drop from the incorrect enemy, but only if they're a playable character, not a captain. I assume this is because the PCs are flagged to drop items both when killed and when retreating, like they do in some Legend Mode maps, whereas captains are never flagged to drop items when retreating. For the incorrect enemy to drop their item, it seems to work best if you are near them when the correct enemy dies and if the incorrect enemy is on screen when the correct enemy dies. The easiest way to ensure this is to weaken the correct enemy, then switch lock-on to the incorrect one and then finish the job. Adventure: A5 - Ganondorf/Ghirahim, Zelda/Lana, Link/Impa A15 - Ruto/Fi, Agitha/Ruto, Ganondorf/Midna B2 - Zant/Ganondorf, Impa/Agitha, Zelda/Darunia B10 - Lana/Midna, Lana/Wizzro, Midna/Lana B13 - Darunia/Impa, Sheik/Ghirahim, Ruto/Sheik C5 - Aeralfos/Big Poe, Moblin/Lizalfos, Lizalfos/Aeralfos C11 - Big Poe/Aeralfos, ReDead Knight/Shield Moblin, Sheik/Link E13 - Ruto/Darunia, Impa/Sheik, Darunia/Ruto F6 - Agitha/Zelda, Agitha/Ghirahim, Midna/Zelda F8 - Darknut/Moblin, Stalmaster/Darknut, Moblin/Darknut F9 - Moblin/Darknut, Big Poe/Darknut, Shield Moblin/Moblin G15 - Lizalfos/Aeralfos, Wizzro/Volga, Cia/Lana H4 - Aeralfos/Lizalfos, Shield Moblin/Fiery Aeralfos, Big Poe/Moblin H6 - Ghirahim/Midna, Moblin/Stalmaster, Fi/Ruto Master Quest: G12 - Lana/Midna, Lana/Wizzro, Midna/Lana F14 - Aeralfos/Big Poe, Moblin/Lizalfos, Lizalfos/Aeralfos I'll probably do the same thing for the Master Quest map, but it's gonna take me longer to complete that since I'm only like 10 squares into it.

My problem with the baton is that it roots you while you're attacking, which leaves you more vulnerable to enemy counterattacks and also slows you down. Meanwhile the rapier is super speedy and allows for an aggressive playstyle that can really easily shut down enemy captains just by a basic BBB combo.

The main trick to doing that mission with the baton is prioritizing which enemies to fight when, and also making sure that you don't get surrounded by Captains, high morale units, and/or Volga. Also, don't forget that even though your combos will root you in place, you can still dodge cancel out of your weak attack strings at any time. Just to avoid using combos while fighting strong enemies and whittle them down with weak attacks and weak point smashes. Step 1. Kill the Outpost Leader near your starting position and then kill the Rogue Forces Captain who's advancing on your position. Step 2. Head north and kill the Messenger who's heading to the west side of the map. Try to avoid killing any of the dudes who are accompanying Volga when you pass him, because that will draw his attention to you earlier than you want. Step 3. Kill Wizzro. If you take too much damage fighting him, exit the mission and try again. You want to avoid fighting both him and Volga together if you can, but it's still possible to take on both of them at the same time if you're careful. Just avoid Volga as best you can while focusing down Wizzro. Step 4. Head to the hallway that leads into your base, then turn and face the oncoming horde. Step 5. Spam YYX (BBY). It will cover basically the entire hallway and prevent anything from getting past you. This will let you grind down Volga, the Rogue Forces Commander and the high Morale units that will try and push their way into your base. Step 6. Now that Volga and the Rogue Commander are dead, you're pretty much in the clear. Make sure that nothing got into your base, clear it out if something did slip past you, then go around knocking over keeps and getting your KO count up to around 1000-1100. Step 7. Head up north and kill that other Messenger who's been stuck on the wall for the entire mission. Step 8. Go kill Girahim.

Anyone have a good route for Agatha's L3? My current strat: --Poke the Lizalfos in front of me a little until I get the message of others moving for the keep. --Intercept those guys at Cia. She can take Zelda alone, but with the Lizalfos she tends to get into trouble and they don't always run past her. --Head to the alliance base just in time to smack Ganondorf and the Lizes around there. --Clean up any mission-critical Lizzes who haven't made it there yet. Usually happens near the middle bridge. --Manhandla sprout hunt. Spring, boomerang, move on. --Head for Link's keep. Ideally I can intercept some packs near the middle bridge and get up to 1050 KOs or so. --Defeat Link, getting over 1200 in the process. With a 5-star +Light +Lightning +ComboIII umbrella I finish in about 13:30, but there's a lot of Liz fighting and my lowest damage taken is 12,000. It keeps getting lower, but I'm curious if anyone's found another route that ideally has less danger. Zelda can rip me apart if she gets a hit in, but I need to clear the Liz from Cia so I donno what to do to avoid her.

CatsPajamas posted:Does anyone else have a better strategy than this? Just between Fi and Agitha you need ~40 of them for all badges, and I can't recall off the top of my head if any other characters need them as well. As far as killing Imprisoned quickly goes, it's probably best to use a character that can destroy the toes immediately and from a distance. You have plenty of options for that, including Ruto's strong attack waves, Ganondorf's C6 combo, Agitha's C3 beetle summon, etc. With Ganondorf especially, it's pretty easy to time it so that the combo knocks out all the toes as soon as they're vulnerable again (which seems to be after the 6th red pulse from when it stands up), instantly knocking it down again.

What level was the character you tried my L74 with? I used Impa, she must've been around 35 when I started. Didn't realize the levels were such a big thing until I ran into those near invincible Dinolfos.

Made the mistake of trying to do it using the Baton In all fairness I can see why it would suggest the baton with all of the Fiery Aerolfos and Volga, but Wizzro is just such a dick on that stage that it's worth trying out the Rapier. Hell I didn't even use the level 3 one, just a normal level 2 Rapier. Got it in the first try with it since he was the only thing that was loving up my A rank.

So I think the secret to Agitha's LV3 is to not try and kill Zelda when she's fighting Cia. Instead just run into the green circle to heal her and drop a couple specials on Z. Even then though I'm not sure that saves enough time, since Link takes at least 12 guard breaks to kill, and you can't break it in one combo because Agi attacks so slow. Maybe I should just park her in the upper left corner and just let Big Daddy G wreck this level.

Ah, but you CAN break Link's weak point in one attempt. You just gotta juggle Link. Use BY (or whatever the way to write one light attack followed by one heavy attack), to toss a bundle of butterflies out of your basket. Tossin' butterflies is good for juggling guys. I found that when I managed to juggle Link by throwing butterflies at him twice, it'd break the weak point. You just have to do the second combo before Link lands. If you can pull it off, you'll successfully break the weak point. Once I realized juggling would help there I was able to kill Link faster and succeed at the level.

It took me several attempts to finish that mission too, I also ignored Zelda and healed Cia. But juggling Link cuts down the number of times you need to get him to reveal his weak point, so it's definitely helpful.

My friend had been playing without me recently ( ) and had a lot of weapons built up, so I made some sweet combined ones. The best is a ** Bow-Wow with seven slots and Strong Attacks 2&3, Slots+, Stars+, Exp+, and Rupees+. Actually a lot of our characters now have at least one strong weapon type with Stars/Slots and maybe Rupees or Exp. I didn't play after making all of them but I am excited to be a loving efficient poopsock goon next time we have a marathon.

It was pretty disappointing when it turned out was mostly just Zelda, Shiek and Impa using Link's sword and Zelda and Shiek using each other's weapon. At the very least they could've given Ghirahim Fai's moveset.

Maybe try that? I tried doing the L2 one the old fashioned way, but I found that spamming summons was funnier. If your Lana is at a decent enough level, it shouldn't be too much of a problem I guess

Has anyone finished the illustration depicting Cia, Volga, Wizzro, Ghirahim and Zant? I'm still missing one piece. I think it's somewhere on the top part of the map. The only Skulltulas that are left are either in the top two rows of the map or in the southeastern corner. There are four down there and I believe they complete the illustration showing Darunia, Ruto and Sheik, so the one I'm looking for is probably somewhere in the death mountain area of the map. Does anyone know where exactly? The Skulltulas I still need to get in that area are on squares A2, A3, A6, A8, A12, A16, B3 and B4 (these are all the second Skulltulas in each mission by the way).
