On Finding Love

	Nico Nico, the tomboyish childhood friend of the Hero, has dreams of living in a more metropolitan town. To win her love, donate money for the fountain and develop the cultural level of the town by raising buildings.
	Selfi On one Tower quest, you'll rescue Selfi, the spoiled rich girl, from a Pulunpa. Back in the town, she'll give you a Pulunpa egg as a reward. On a later quest, she'll rescue you from a U-Boat attack. Talk to her a few times at her home afterward and she'll decide she must love you if saved you.
	Fur Fur, the pretty girl in the Specialty Shop, will start to like you more as you spend more and more money in the shop, especially if you buy the clothing there which matches her own style. She'll fall in love with you once you've paid her enough attention. You can boost her love even further when you bring her takoyaki (octopus balls) from the vendor stand built after you find Guru's oil pot to fix the windmill.
	Patty Patty is the daughter of the Restaurant owner. To win her love, first, eat one of each item on the whole menu. After your next Tower quest, drop by the restaurant again. It will be closed but Patty will make you a special meal herself. Next time the restaurant is open, she'll make you yet another meal herself, making Ghosh very jealous. You'll have three choices for the meal she makes. It doesn't actually matter which one you choose. When you go to the restaurant once more, Ghosh will be begging her to make him a meal but she'll refuse and fall in love with you.
	Vivian Vivian, the dancer, will appear only after you find the Blue Cape and bring it to the woman who owns the bar. When the theater is built, Vivian will join a dancing company there but will become unsure of her skill as a dancer. Keep watching her dance and encourage her. When she becomes the lead dancer at the theater, she'll love you. You can impress her further by taking her to the pool or completing the comedy routine with Fon at the theater.
	Mia When you build the Library, Mia, the bookworm, will appear. If you keep dropping by to talk to her and act as if you're very interested in what she has to say, she'll become obsessed with you and start following you around town. You can catch her following you as you leave the Library. Tell her to stop following you and she'll fall in love with you. She'll also enjoy going to the pool with you where you can embarass Ghosh together.
	Cherrl To win the innocent Cherrl's love, you must first help her to become cured of her wasting illness by finding the Healing Herb in the Tower. When you bring the Herb to the doctor, you can choose to let him know you brought the herb or not to tell her it was you. This choice matters. If you choose not to tell her, Cherrl becomes healthy and decides to become a nurse. Talk to her a few more times at the hospital and she'll fall for you. If you had chosen to tell her that you brought the herb, she will get healthy but she'll feel very guilty and lack self-confidence. Instead of becoming a nurse, she'll start making little dolls in your image. It's still possible to get her to love you by simply visiting and talking a lot but she will remain a stay-at-home with no self-esteem for the rest of her life. The dolls are cute but, if you want my advice, **DON'T let the doctor tell her you brought the Healing Herb! As the fortune teller said: A good deed is one which you perform without asking for credit.**
	Ghosh Fans of Ghosh, you have my sympathy. As near as we can tell, you can't win Ghosh's love. The eighth icon on the savegame fills up with a picture of the 40th floor boss, Beldo, after your first battle with him. I've heard rumors that this was different in the original Japanese release but nothing I've read on Japanese sites has led me to think so.

Monster Fusion

The effects of fusing monsters is a little difficult to explain but here's how it works...

When you fuse two monsters, your new monster will be the same breed and element and have the same HP and MP maximums as whichever monster has a higher level. The current level of the HP and MP will the average of the two monsters.

Example:
Monster 1	Flame	Level 5	HP 20/30	MP 44/60
Monster 2	Viper	Level 10	HP 40/40	MP 66/80
Fused Monster	Viper	Level 10	HP 30/40	MP 55/80

Each monster may have one or two natural traits. These traits aren't listed on their status. They can only be told through observation. For example, the Flame is resistant to Howl and the Cyclone is has reduced MP Usage. If you were to fuse a Flame and a Cyclone, the new monster would have both of these traits. But any monster can only have two such traits. So, if you fuse this monster with a new monster, such as the Viper which is resistant to Poison, you might get a Flame which is resistant to Howl and Poison but does not have reduced MP Usage. A monster will always have the traits and abilities natural to its breed so, if a trait is lost, it will always be the one associated with its recessive breed. Some monsters don't have any special traits at all. Fusing with one of these monsters can actually cause your fused monster to lose a secondary trait.

Example:
Monster 1	Flame	Level 15	Resistant to Howl	No second trait
Monster 2	Cyclone	Level 10	Reduced MP Usage	No second trait
First Fusion	Flame	Level 15	Resistant to Howl	Reduced MP Usage
Monster 3	Viper	Level 8	Resistant to Poison	No second trait
Second Fusion	Flame	Level 15	Resistant to Howl	Resistant to Poison
Monster 4	Killer	Level 7	No first trait	No second trait
Third Fusion	Flame	Level 15	Resistant to Howl	No second trait

Each monster can have one or two magic abilities (such as Kewne's LoBrid or the Flame's Sled). Inheritance happens very much the same as with special traits except that, if you fuse with a monster with no magic abilities, you will not lose a secondary magic ability.

Each magic ability has a natural element. For example, LoBrid ability is a Fire element ability so it will only advance when your monster goes up a level AND is a fire elemental.

Now, here's the tricky part: some monsters have recessive magical powers. In other words, when you fuse certain monsters, the resulting monster may have a new magical power not previously available at all. This may occur when fusing monsters of different types as well as fusing monsters of the same type. I'll try to get more detail on good combinations.

Buildings

As you journey through Monster Tower and interact with the townsfolk, you will have the opportunity to have additional buildings put up or rennovate existing buildings. Some are just for fun while others are needed to solve various puzzles in Azure Dreams.

Building	Cost	Prerequisite	Purpose
Home Improvement 1	6,000g	None	You can store 30 items in your safe at home. Plus, you can take a bath inside so that girls won't giggle at you bathing in the barrel outside your hut.
Home Improvement 2	60,000g	Home Improvement 1	You can store 60 items in your safe at home. There are also some specialty items from Fur's shop that you can't use until you have this huge house with larger rooms.
Monster Hut Enlargements	4,000g 20,000g 40,000g 60,000g	None	Each enlargement allows you to store exponentially higher numbers of familiars.
Water Fountain	3,600g	Donate money to Nico by the pond. Any money you donate will be matched by Ghosh. When you've donated 3,600g in total, Nico will have the Water Fountain built.	This is the first step in helping Nico realize her dreams and start to fall in love with you.
Wookie Wookie Pool	N/A	The Wookie Wookie Pool is already built. You just need to retrieve the stolen Water Medal in Monster Tower and bring it to the pool owner to get the pool reopened.	When the pool is opened, you can see the various girls in bathing suits. Some of the girls (like Mia and Vivian) you'll have to invite to the pool personally. Others will be there when you go to the pool alone. You can also see Ghosh in his little pink speedos.
Windmill Takoyaki Stand	N/A	When the windmill breaks down, you can fix it by retrieving Guru's Oil Pot from Monster Tower. When the windmill is working again, a takoyaki stand will be built nearby.	Takoyaki is necessary to win Fur's love.
Hospital Rennovation	4,000g	Talk to the hospital a few times and he'll tell you that the hospital needs to be rennovated.	Once the hospital is improved, Cherrl will move into the house just north of it. When you find the Healing Herb to cure Cherrl's wasting illness, bring it to the doctor at the hospital.
Theater	8,000g	After reaching the 10th floor of Monster Tower, you can talk to Fon in front of the Carpenter's Shop and he'll ask you to build a theater.	Vivian dreams of dancing on a large stage. To win her heart, you must build the theater and help her dream to come true. You can also improve her love for you by impressing her with your performing talents by doing the comedy routine with Fon after Vivian has started dancing at the theater. The solution to the comedy routine is: O X O O X O O O X X O X O
Racetrack	30,000g	After you've made at least two trips into Monster Tower, talk to the man with the Nyuels in the northwest corner of Monsbaiya and he'll ask you to build a racetrack.	This is the first place to make a quick buck. You can go in and out of the building until you get the best pay-off odds. Bet on combinations that don't include yourself when the pay-off is better than 10x and then purposely lose the race. You'll have a 1-in-3 chance of winning your bet. Even better if you can try to block off the runner you didn't bet on during the start of the race.
Temple Rennovation	4,000g	After you've made one rennovation to your home, your mother will suggest that you talk to the wise man about using your money to help the community. His first suggestion will be to rennovate the temple.	After rennovating the temple, the wise man will suggest building a bowling alley and, later, a casino.
Bowling Alley	40,000g	After you've rennovated the Temple, the wise man will suggest you build a Bowling Alley for the community.	This place is just for fun. You get to play a weird variation of bowling for free. There's no prize but it is the only place in Azure Dreams where you will see the Mushrom monster (no. 32 in Weedy's picture book).
Casino	100,000g	After you've built the Bowling Alley, the wise man will suggest you build a Casino for the community. This is a pretty strange wise man!	You can play Slots or Roulette. If you're very skilled and have excellent timing, you can make good money on the slot machine. The Roulette wheel pays more than the slot machine, as much as 60,000g on one spin. With skill and timing, you can win almost every time. If your timeing is as bas as mine, you can make good use of your savegame to get very rich, very fast.
Entertainment Center	30,000g	After you've made at least two rennovations each to both your home and your monster hut, talk to Pen, the Carpenter's assistant, and he'll tell you about his dream to build an amusement center.	You can play the "Hit-A-Mole" game and the Takopoo Shooting Game. It's just for fun.
Gym	30,000g	After you've built the Entertainment Center, talk to Barry, the Weapons Dealer, and he'll tell you about the Gym he saw in another city. Then ask the Carpenter to build one.	At the Gym, you can play the Catch-the-Barbells game with the Kim Brothers.

Rare Items

There are certain special items that you can find only one of in the game. These are generally needed to solve special mini-quests.

Item	Location	Purpose
Second Collar	Lying on the floor on the 12th Floor of Monster Tower.	Allows you to use two familiars at the same time. A prerequisite for monster fusion.
Guru's Oil Pot	Lying on the floor on the 15th Floor of Monster Tower.	Needed to fix the windmills in town. When the windmills are fixed, someone will open an octopus ball vending stand. The octopus balls are needed to win Fur's love.
Blue Cape	Lying on the floor on the 20th Floor of Monster Tower.	Giving the cape to the owner of the bar will start the sequence of events which will bring Vivian to town.
Water Medal	This one is tricky. It's held by a white Picket monster on the 25th floor of Monster Tower. There aren't normally any Picket monsters on that floor so, if you see one, that's the one who stole the Water Medal. He won't show up every time you go to that floor so it may take a couple of attempts. I recommend using a Monster Loop and watching the overhead map to see if any of the monsters seem to be moving at double speed (a singular trait of the Picket monster).	Give this to the owner of the Wookie Wookie Pool in Monsbaiya and the pool will be reopened.
Healing Herb	Lying on the floor on the 28th Floor of Monster Tower. It looks exactly like any other herb so it can be easy to overlook. You'll know it's the right one because it will be called Healing Herb and be described as "Can cure Cherll's disease."	Needed to cure Cherrl of her wasting illness.
The Ultimate Egg	On the top floor of Monster Tower. I don't know the floor number.	Unknown. It can be hatched or sold. But getting the egg is not the final objective of this game.
Music Box	Sold for a limited time at Fur's Specialty Shop.	Unknown. It doesn't seem a necessary item for winning the love of any of the girls. Maybe it would help with Ghosh?
