North Euro Plain

North Euro Plain is a location in Europe in the DS game first visited in Chapter 1.

Description

North Euro Plain Map

Accessed from Euro Town in the southeast; it links to the North Mine in the east before the bridge, then the North Dig Site in the southwest after the bridge. The bridge is initially a roadblock restricting the player to the southeast area, needing to complete the North Mine and drilling tutorial to move past it; Alpha Droids are higher levels past the bridge. The Euro Town Memorial Tree is in the northwest.

Story

Chapter 1

First entering to find the kidnapped son of a Euro Town man, the player finds Alpha Droids led by Ed, defeating them to free the child and acquire a Mystery Fossil Irritator. After clearing the North Mine, the player will meet the Master Excavator at the bridge to learn the mechanics of Drilling, unearthing a set Iguanodon (Attack Type).

Heading farther, they find the Euro Town Mayor with a hurt leg, giving them the Family Photo to convince his son to come help him.

Starting Area

These battles occur before the bridge.

This static battle is set before random encounters are possible. Reese gives hints in this battle.

Static (required)

Purple Alpha Droid [10 Exp, 30 chell]

• Irritator R (Defense) LV1 (Tail, Ram, Throw)
  • Starts with Critical Move; beats player's last winning move. Beats the previous tying move.

A small area just outside of town where the above battle occurred cannot spawn encounters. Before the bridge, Reese gives hints on all turns for random and static battles.

Random

Purple Alpha Droids (Tail, Ram, Throw) [10 chell]

• Gorgosaurus P (Tie) LV1; Irritator R (Defense) LV2; Einiosaurus S (Attack) LV1; Wuerhosaurus P (Defense) LV2; Ouranosaurus R (Attack) LV1; Dilophosaurus S (Defense) LV2
  • Starts with Critical Move; beats player's last winning move. Beats the previous tying move.

Main Area

These battles occur after the bridge. The North Mine and drilling tutorial must be cleared before progressing.

After the bridge, different-leveled encounters have hints given by either Reese (nearly all turns) or the Alpha Droid itself (most turns), though all share the same strategy; Reese gives hints in most battles in the northern reaches of the map, transitioning to Alpha Droids farther south. The Alpha Droids' differing levels per Dinosaur are by area subdivisions made by bridges and ramps, each Dinosaur appearing at one level in each region, though most levels repeat. The eight subdivisions are: southeast region before the roadblock bridge (detailed above, Reese hints), northeast first ground-level area and plateau (Reese hints, oddly with only 4 of the 6 Dinosaurs), center north area between plateau and 2 bridges (Droid hints), northwest Euro Town Memorial Tree area past the west bridge (Reese hints), center and south region past the middle bridge (Droid hints), center west small area with a static Droid past the west bridge plus the rim around the Memorial Tree area (unconnected but nearby with same levels, Droid hints), center south small plateau with an item case (Droid hints), and southwest plateau with North Dig Site entrance (Droid hints). No other area is subdivided with so much detail.
