So I'm breaking my normal guidelines and suggesting that EVERYONE read the scoop list when you start to play, so you don't permanently lose your one chance to get your scoops. But in Dark Cloud 2, there are some 'scoop' photos that you only get ONE CHANCE at. IMPORTANT!! Normally I really advise people to PLAY first and then read the walkthrough only when they're stuck, because you lose half the fun if you don't discover things for yourself, sort of like knowing Darth Vader was Luke's Father before going to see the Empire Strikes Back. It didn't ruin my platinum because I didn't need this scoop to invent anything (thank god), but it's still slightly annoying.

But I think I found a mistake in your order of missable scoops. It helped a lot and without it I probably wouldn't even try to complete this game :P. You can wander around your towns that you create, and populate them with people! You can catch fish, cook them, sell them, keep them in aquariums, even breed them and race them! Then there's the camera, where you can take pictures of all sorts of items, trade some cool ones in for points, and use others to come up with neat new inventions. First things first: Thanks for this guide. They are already equipped to Monica, but they can spectrumize into two attack points for. The town development you do can be visited in the future to see how well they develop over time. The best invention is Belt, Shield, and Moon.

The dungeon crawls are quite fun and very replayable because of all the extra bonusses you can go for. The georama system was just as fun as it was in Dark Cloud.

They call this the sequel to Dark Cloud, but actually it's an amazing new game that takes what was fun about the original Dark Cloud and kicks it up to a whole new level. The invention system was clever, and gave you benefits for carefully looking for the items you need pictures of.
