Let the Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 #Nuzlocke Challenge begin! Very excited for this. This game was my childhood!
#Nuzlocke Rules
-Only catch the 1st monster in each area (overworld or dungeon)
-IF that fails, I can accept the 1st monster that offers to join me (this happens often)
-Breeding is unrestricted
-Autojoining monsters (there are 3) can be used
-Can revive IN boss battles only
I'm keeping the name Tara since I'm playing as an adorable little girl. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
We're a family of monster farmers heading off to start a new life in the Kingdom of GreatLog! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Dad seems stressed after the move, so he told me and Cobi to go help Mom. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
The beginning of an epic adventure starts with pie. Cool. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
This is Prince Kameha and his buddy Warubou. They're rude. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Case in point: mercilessly running around this woman. The travesty! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Aaaand now they're throwing around this merchant's stuff. Turns out Warubou is the spirit of GreatLog. He really just likes trolling people. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
This guy outside the Vault is one of the monster masters. Definitely what I want to be. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Nut pie: retrieved! So good at this game. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
I went the other way, and they must've taken a shortcut. And then stole our pie. :( #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
The package got dropped in the well, so we followed them in...

Uh... this is a strange well.

AND THEN THEY BROKE THE ISLAND FIGHTING OVER OUR PIE. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Warubou, being the responsible elemental spirit of the island, plugs the navel (the... island's bellybutton?), while Prince Kameha runs off. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Was the pie worth it now?? #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Thus begins our REAL quest: finding a plug to keep the island from going down the drain. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Except nobody believes us. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Stupid adults. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Leave it up to the kids to do all the hard work. We got a special key to take us to another world. There will be monsters to train, and maybe a plug! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Slash, one of the farm monsters, will be my "starter"! He's a basic slime but has enough base HP to carry us through the early worlds. Cobi will stay and tend to the monsters while I get to have all the fun. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Dad is proud of me so he gives me my first meat! This is how you catch monsters--you make them like you before you defeat them, and they might join your party. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
None of the adults are impressed. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Alright, we're in the desert world! Time to catch our first monster! What's it gonna be? #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
A CactiBall! Not too bad. It's not useful in any breeding combos (except as a generic plant monster since it's in the Plant family), but tbh there's not much in this first world anyway. Let's see if I can catch it! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Got 'im! He seems like a Theo to me. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Doing some quick grinding since this game can be tough. Also, like I mentioned, a lot of monsters will throw themselves at you to join your party, but I have to turn them away since I already caught Theo. :( #DWM2 #Nuzlocke

(It's ok, SpotSlimes aren't that great anyway)
Found Kalka, my first village! Seems like they've fallen on hard times. And they don't even know where I can find a plug! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
This guy won't let me in the canal, but I scored some BeefJerky from a random pot! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
There's another village down south called Asiya. This is where the king's castle is. Seems like people are saying he might know what I can use for a plug. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Unfortunately, the guards won't let me in. Rude. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
buuuuut talking with the townsfolk, it sounds like 1) the king likes circuses, and 2) there's a circus guy recruiting because the thieves attacked his troupe! How fortunate for me. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
The circus guy is the only one left in his troupe, so he's hiring random kids off the street (well, he likes my monsters). #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Well, sounds like I need another monster to join. Luckily, there's a well right here with monsters inside! This lady says they're strong though. Hopefully not too strong... #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Encountered a monster pretty quick! This is a Spooky--there are much better monsters down here, but oh well, gotta try for him. Will it work?? #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
I will name him Kell! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Despite the fact that this is a worm, it's really strong. It almost knocked Kell out. I wants it..... but can't have it. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Now circus guy will let me in. Sounds like he's recruited some other acts too! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Wait, DEATH DEFYING??? #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
My monsters all jumped through this flaming hoop without dying! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Yay, now I can go in the castle! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
But you don't understand, I need a PLUG. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
In return for access to the treasury, the king wants me to go do PR for him. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
First grievance. Yup. It's dry. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
If they raise the flow, the oasis will dry up, so none of the king's men want to do it. So he does what any good king would do and--wait, he ran off to go do it himself? #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Followed him back to Kalka. And.... there's this lady? How is that helpful? #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Our responsible king shoves the canal guy out of the way and runs into the monster infested well. Guess I'll go after him. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
One thing I like about this game is that your monsters follow you around on the screen. :)
Ah. Beavers. Should've known. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
The Tasmanian Devil Beaver hurt me pretty good, but I still won! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
The truth comes out! Their home was invaded by those pesky thieves. The king offers to go there himself (as usual) and put them in prison. This satisfies the beaver! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
At last, I get a plug: the TidalBell! Gotta meet the king back at the castle.

Oh, and the citizens are satisfied!

#DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Those thieves AGAIN. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
As usual, the king is a man of action. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
I followed them to the lake to see if I could help (since I'm solving all the problems of the kingdom myself anyway), and the lake magically disappears! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Hmm.... guess I'm gonna head back to Asiya to see if that prisoner can give me a tip on how to find the mirage lake hideout. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Poor circus guy got put in jail because he let way too many people in to his troupe. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
The other prisoner was strangely helpful. Apparently this WaterCall is what's needed to get into the hideout. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Well that worked out. Here's the lake! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
The beavers have all been kicked out of this extremely impressive dam. To the rescue! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
The leader of the thieves is here on behalf of a Demon Lord of Limbo, so that's nice. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
His strong monster is a lamp. Aight. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
This monster apparently had no attachment to her master at all, so she's mine now (one of the three autojoin monsters). Her name is Robin. Bye, Kell, enjoy life at the farm! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
I win! The king arrives to save the day and claim the credit. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Yep, I'm gonna use the ancient mystical artifact to plug a hole. nbd. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Welp. That didn't work. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
The bell got destroyed, but apparently it also gave me the power to cross oceans. Conveniently, Warubou's next vision for me involves going to an ocean world. Gotta find the key myself though. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Even more conveniently, the key to the ocean world is the prize of a new monster battle tournament. What fortune! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Aw yeah, the Starry Shrine! This is where DWM2 really shines. We'll have to breed lots of powerful monsters here once we're certified. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Dad's expanding the farm with Beavern's help. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
All these people talking to me like I'm a child...

Wait, I AM a child.

Gonna join the Children's Tournament and show them who's boss. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
'Master Tara and the Farm Friends' is definitely not the best band name I've ever heard, but I guess it'll do. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
One down. Piece of cake. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
That's two. The eggplant, weirdly, lasted the longest. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Psh. These kids. They think they're monster masters and everything. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Yay! Wait, did you change our name already? Is 'Fun Friends' better or worse than 'Farm Friends'?? #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
YES, I'm certified!! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Oh, right, and gotta progress the plot too! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Almost forgot about this. There's a random table in the arena where you can talk to your monsters and learn their personalities! Slash is a hotblood, my cactus just wants to prove itself to me, and Robin wants to head out while it's nice outside. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Apparently there's still a line at the Starry Shrine, so guess I'll head on to Pirate World. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Found a Rib (excellent for catching monsters at this point in the game), and immediately got into a fight! Antbears are definitely not the strongest, but I prefer it over the mushroom thing... and I like the Beast family on the whole, so yay! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Her name is Liina (not for any particular reason). Let's see if we can train her. But first, the village of Yold! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Hmm... a ROUND mirror? How big? Would it, say, plug the navel of an island? Hm? Oh, no reason. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Liina is not very good, so I went back to the farm and swapped her out for Slash. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Could this be the mermaid village they spoke of? #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Guess they're not here. Probably those dastardly pirates. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
A new area! That means I can catch another monster... and the first one up includes a HealSlime!! Hopefully I can catch it--I need me a healer big time. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Got her! I'll call her Genna, because that sounds like a nice name. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Some more party management, and then on to more exploration! Port Ritz is apparently a big deal in these parts. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Oh, so not only did the pirates steal the HarMirror, they then got themselves swallowed up by the ocean. So now they can't tell me where their treasure is. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Prince Kameha's intelligence sweep is not going well (the old man was way too grogged up to talk), and now he's insulting me. So yeah, business as usual. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Aha. There's a secret to waking him up. Guess I'm gonna have to go find a sea monster. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Back in the cave. Found some cool stuff.... and a sea monster. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
…….....dancing?

#DWM2 #Nuzlocke
His name is Squiz, and he's now my dancing buddy! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
I remembered this guy asking about this before, so I took Squiz back to see if we couldn't make some contact with the mermaids! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
What luck! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Time to go play a prank. It's called "Scare the living crap out of the old dude with a giant sea monster." #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
I'd actually assumed he WAS one of the pirates. This is more sad. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
blah blah blah Moon Rock, tides, hidden loot, blah blah blah ok, off to see the mermaid again!! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Ugh you people keep losing your stuff. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Right. Ghost ship. Cool. This isn't going to be scary at all. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
This is fine. It's fine. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
AAAHH!

Ok, spooky. BUT it's the first monster, and I gotta give it a shot.

Successfully.

Yay.

#DWM2 #Nuzlocke
🎵🎶Can't take it with youuuu 🎶🎵 #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
This is what happens when you get greedy, kids. Your ship gets swallowed by the ocean and you all turn into zombies. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke #LifeLessons
Found the captain! He's 100% bent on keeping his treasure. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
See, just give it up already and you can sleep. Also, OOH TREASURE ALL FOR ME. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Apparently I somehow piloted the ghost ship back to port. On to the lighthouse to put the MoonRock back! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
I failed to catch the Eyeder, which is a bit of a bummer, but I scaled the lighthouse without dying! Time to restore balance to the tides. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
The tides have risen, and also somehow not caused a global catastrophe! I can get to the volcanic island now! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
This is Ganondorf and the Temple of Time all over again. But more irritating. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
The REAL treasures are the friends we make along the way. Like this useless AquaHawk. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
This is just not your day, buddy. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
The cave seems to be on my side, if you hadn't noticed. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
I kinda feel bad for him. After all that, his buddies up and betrayed him for the treasure. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
The mirror reveals they're monsters! A pit opens up! Kameha has a change of heart! The mirror is mine! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Yep, that didn't work either. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
More magic has been bestowed upon me--I can crush rocks! Gotta go find the Ice Key now. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Let's challenge C Class! I *think* this is where you get the Ice Key. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
These guys are tougher, and everyone got poisoned, which I think carries over to the next match, but I won! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Looks like the poison doesn't carry over! And I win! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
I was all excited, but... I don't think this is the right key? Is this one of the optional worlds? #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Yeah, definitely not the right place, but might as well have a look around! As it turns out, this IS one of the optional worlds. Gotta beat the boss here before I can catch anything, so I'm gonna slap on some repellent and go do that! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Aha, found the boss castle. It looks like a Pumpoise! These guys aren't too hard, at least in the Ice World. I had one of these in an old game which I got to an excessively high level through breeding. Hopefully this one isn't gonna be that tough! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
The SpotSlimes took a few turns to take out, but not too bad. Now for the Pumpoise! #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Oh no. Oh crap. I've made a mistake.

His defense is way too high. And I can't escape a boss battle. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Crap, crap, crap. Out of healing items and Genna has no MP left. I do get to use a WorldLeaf once during boss fights, so it's now or never.... #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Squiz managed to squeak in a critical hit, so I might be able to still make it. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Genna's out. :( C'mon, Squiz. #DWM2 #Nuzlocke
Nope, that's it kids. Game over for this #Nuzlocke run! I'd forgotten #DWM2 could be on the tougher side if you weren't careful, and I should've taken advantage of breeding before exploring an unknown world. Ah well! This was fun! Already got plans for my next run!
