Here are some neat tricks to help you play GBC Azure Dreams!
Throwing Items 101
Always remember that when you throw an item at an enemy, the item will have its intended effect on that enemy. If you get a Dormint, which is an herb that induces sleep, throwing it at an enemy will put it to sleep. If you have a Burnseed, which makes a familiar lose MP, throwing it at an enemy will cause its MP to run out, (and become unable to attack you.) Throwing items can have some very interesting and useful applications...Try throwing a Tumaseed at a tough enemy, and watch it turn into a helpless Frog! Now, you can easily defeat it! Throwing a WindGem at an enemy will make it vanish. But wait, there's more...
The Mystery of the OvaSeed
The item description of the OvaSeed says it reverts a familiar back to the egg state. You may be wondering why the heck you'd ever want to use this? Well, it is arguably the most useful item in the game! When thrown at an enemy, the OvaSeed is essentially the Azure Dreams equivalent of a Pokeball that never misses! It will revert the monster back to an egg, and you'll automatically pick it up. But don't use this rare and valuable item to capture low-level enemies that can easily be found or bought at the store...Save it for those enemies higher up, and get one that you don't already have!
Flame, Tundra, and Ranklin familiars
Early in the game, you may notice that the Flame and Tundra look very much alike, except that one is made of fire, and the other is made of ice. There are seeds in this game that will change a Familiar's attributes from their current state to Wind, Fire, or Water. The WindSeed changes to Wind, the LuminSeed to Fire, and the SeaSeed to water. If you get a Flame familiar and a SeaSeed, you can use the SeaSeed on it to turn it into a Tundra!! Or if you get a Tundra, you can use a LuminSeed on it to turn it into a Flame! You can use a WindSeed on either one to turn it into a Ranklin, which looks similar to Flame and Tundra, only it's made of lightning. (Seems to be named after Benjamin Franklin, only without the "F".)
The Many Different Trolls
In the PSX version of Azure Dreams, Trolls could be equipped with different weapons, but were all counted as the same familiar. But in GBC Azure Dreams, a Troll equipped with a Hammer (HamTroll) is counted a separate monster than a Troll with no weapon at all. There are also two other Troll variations. One is TomTroll (Troll with a Tomahawk), and another Troll variation that you get when you equip a Troll with a TrollArm. When you get a Troll, be sure to equip it with each weapon at least once, so that you get all four Troll variations into your Monster Book.
