It's the first Friday after the North American release of Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc.'s (SCEI) Patapon for the PlayStation Portable and everyone's drumming to the beat of those one-eyed tribal warriors. To help out all the Patapon fans with their fledgling army, here are a couple of tips to make sure you make it through the game's first few stages.

One of the first few areas which stump most players is the desert section of the game. Some of you may actually have a perverse liking to seeing walking eyeballs fry under the desert's scorching sun, unfortunately, it won't get you very far unless you make it past this stage.

To get through this particular area, make sure you've already gotten the "Chaka" drum by defeating the Great Guardian Dodonga (the green dino-dragon monster). Next, go to the first hunting plain and repeat the rhythm displayed on the totem pole seen near the beginning of the stage.

You should then pick up the compass item, which should lead you to Dodonga's bigger and badder brother Majidonga. After defeating him, you can then pick up the new "Don" drum, allowing you to play the Secret Rain Juju.

After equipping the Juju from the Headquarters screen before a mission, you can now go back to the desert area and bring forth a little rain so that your army doesn't have to suffer from an acute case of hot feet anymore. Take note, however, that you need to be in Fever mode before you can activate the Secret Rain Juju command (Don-DonDon-DonDon!).

With that said, bring out those drums and march those Patapons to a Fevered victory!

This game is so easy. It never leaves a question about what to do.

I just can't understand why people get stuck in this game. Just read those speech bubbles and you know everything you need to know.

» not really.

Yea, reading the speech bubbles helps, but have you fought the lv.3 versions of the majidonga or dodonga? they're *****ing hard as hell. I've got full everything but archers and they still kick my ass in constant fever. Don't get me wrong, I don't really neeeeed to beta them, but you get better items if you do. And watching the little dudes fry in the desert does make me squeal like a little schoolgirl who just got that barbie she always wanted, its so satisfying.

» boss farming and frying patapons

Boss drops farming is actually a hobby of mine whenever I play the game. Although, even with a good army backing me up, I still get my pata-ass handed to me whenever I fight the high level boss monsters. T_T



@graykitsune: you, sir are a sadistic almighty god for taking a sadistic pleasure in seeing your people fry like so much burnt bacon... I like you!

» re: being a god

That may be the underlying cause of my sadistic nature. Bacon. I love bacon and seeing my people fry like bacon in a skillet is a pleasure unbeknownst to any mortal man. Speaking of such things, said skillet calls my name, the bacony goodness awaits my feasting.

The Rain miracle was easy. I got through the Desert level on my 2nd go coz I didn't know I needed the Don Drum, so I just watched my Patapons get fried. That's why you should pay attention to the bubbles!



I've beated Dodonga at lv. 3. I don't wana beat the other one that swallows up Patapons and their hats parmanently coz I don't wanna lose my army.



I've also beat the big Worm, whatever it's called. The game does get progressively difficult and requires more concentration. I like it that way.
