IV. Walkthrough (7)
=============
Namek, Part 2
=============
"After walking up the small path, you'll find...a very large temple with
Porunga's face adorning the sides. Porunga, by the way, is the name of the
giant, Namekian Dragon that sprouts from the Dragon Balls. This is the Temple
that the Namekians had been talking about, but your priority is finding those
artifacts. There is an herb here if you need healing, so grab it, leave the
screen, come back, and grab it again (repeated healing! yay!). You can fly
over the temple and skip a portion of the walking here, but assuming you don't
have any Flight Charges (which, by now, you should have plenty), let's take the
walking route. From the entrance of the Temple, start walking left. From
here, you can either immediately walk Up, taking the small path, or you can
walk to the Lower-Left and take a slightly longer route. Frankly, I don't see
why you would take the longer route, since you have to fight the same enemies,
it's longer, and there is more stuff in your way (making it harder to dodge and
attack).
"Anywho, climb the small paths, taking out henchmen as you go. The path will
wind to the Left, then double-back to the right, taking you above the Temple.
As you walk, you'll notice a Red Gem on the level above you. If you can fly up
there and grab it, then do so - it's the first Namekian Artifact - but if you
cannot, you'll just have to keep walking Right. When you reach the Right side
of the temple, where the path leads Down again, King Kai will contact you and
tell you that TenShinHan, Piccolo, Yamcha, and Chao-Zu have all arrived to
receive special training from him. He also tells you that getting the Dragon
Balls would be good, so that you could wish Piccolo back to life. With Piccolo
alive, the Earth's Dragon Balls would be restored again, and then they could be
used to bring EVERYONE back to life. That's nice, King Kai, but what does this
have to do with ME? Hello, Vegita here, ruler of all Saiya-Jins, powerful
fighter, great cook...hello?
"Fine, he doesn't care. Jerk. Keep moving Down along the path, and it will
eventually come to a dead-end...but there is a Green Flight Charge here, and a
plateau directly above you with another Green Flight Charge as well. Might as
well fly up there, eh? Take out the Pterodactyl on that level, blast the Rock
on the Right to reveal an Herb, and grab the Flight Charge as you move up to
the next level. There's another Flight Charge on this level, as well as
another Henchman and a Path that leads Up and to the Left. As you could (and
most likely would) assume, this path takes you to the Red Artifact. Now then,
return to the Upper-Right section of this map, flying up to the final height.
Here you will find a Green Henchman, a Dinosaur, a Green Flight Charge, the
Blue Artifact, and a blastable Rock. This rock is concealing a Senzu Bean, so
if you want to replenish your stock of those, leave the screen, fly back up
here, and nab a few more. There is nothing else to do in this area, aside from
gaining a few levels or getting those Senzu Beans, so progress into the Temple
itself so you can find the last artifact and complete your mission.
===================
The Namekian Temple
===================
"This place is big, that's for sure, and is loaded with Teleport Pads of
varying colors. The trick here is to know which teleporters to take, since
they always take you to the same place, and simply following the right order.
For simpler purposes, I will tell you how to get to each Teleporter, as well as
what color it is.
"Start out by walking straight up, stopping in front of the oversized statue of
a Namekian Warrior holding a 1-Star Dragon Ball (not real, though). Directly
below this statue is a white square; this is the first Teleport Pad. If you
want to grab any Flight Charges, there are 2 Red Ones on opposite sides of the
room here. When you're ready, step onto the White Teleport Pad. This takes
you to a Room with a hand holding a Tablet directly North from here. There
are several tablets like this located throughout the Temple, and do nothing but
hold Namekian Wisdom for you. If you want to read 'em, go right ahead.
"To continue - walk Down and Right around the torches, following the flames
(take out the Henchmen if you wish). The path here will go Up and Right; you
will want to take the Right path. Continue moving past the Green Teleport Pad
(and the Green Flight Charge...it's the Green section!), beat up the Blue
Henchman, and Follow the Hall as it banks and goes Up. Your path will meet
with another Namekian Statue Warrior, this one Holding a 2-Star Dragon Ball.
Directly below the statue is a Namekian Statue of a Hand, pointing right.
That's a clue, folks - there's a hidden passage in the Right Wall. Walk
through the Wall to find a hidden area. What's inside this area? Why yes,
it's the 3rd and Final Artifact! Now you can finish the blasted quest!
"Exit the secret passage and walk Down, returning to the Green Telepad you
passed. This will take you to a new room, one with 2 teleporters - one green,
one blue - at the bottom of the screen. Ignore these, heading up towards the
next Namekian Warrior Statue (3-star Dragon Ball in hand). Take a left at the
statue, entering another North-South Hallway. This hallway has a Namekian Hand
Statue and a henchman. Head Down to the Orange Teleporter. In the next area
you're taken to (with a Namekian Tablet directly Up from here), started heading
Down. You'll see the next Namekian Warrior Statue (with the 4-Star Dragon
Ball), and a Namekian Hand pointing Left. Ignore the hand and the statue and
take out the 2 Henchmen, then move to Yellow Transport Pad (which is Down and
Right from the Hand Statue).
"This puts you in a North-South hallway that quickly branches left, as well as
continuing down. Start heading Left, ignoring the 1st passage leading up, the
Orange Teleport Pad, and the 2nd passage leading up. At the end of this
corridor is a White Teleport Pad; this is the one you want to take (you're
almost there, folks!). Inside this room is a Henchmen that almost immediately
attacks you, as well as 2 Namekian Statues (that do NOT attack you), holding
the 6- and 7-star Dragon Balls. Walk straight up, between the 2 Statues, to
another White Teleport Pad. Take it and you will be shifted to a room with an
oversized statue of Saichourou (the Namekian Guru), with 3 squares of different
color (Red, Green, Blue) around him. Hmm...Red, Green, and Blue - why, you
have artifacts that match those colors! Move to each spare and press the A
BUTTON next to them to place each Artifact. When you do, you'll gain your
rewards and a new Teleport Pad will appear on the Left Side of the Screen
(which is White).
[In Summary - Get the 2 Artifacts outside, and get the 3rd one by taking the
WHITE teleport pad in the first Temple Room. Follow the Path Right and up,
walking through the wall that is next to the Namekian Hand Statue, to find the
3rd Artifact. Take the GREEN teleport pad, then the ORANGE teleport pad next
to the Namekian Hand Statue. From here, head Down and Right to find the YELLOW
Transport Pad; take it to the next room. Walk Down, then Right as far as you
can go to find another WHITE Teleport Pad. Take that, then walk straight up in
this room to find yet another WHITE Teleport Pad. This takes you to the
Artifact Room. If you ever get lost, keep trying Teleport pads - one will
eventually send you back to the beginning of the temple, allowing you restart
the area.]
*** Quest #20 Completed ***
"Gokuu comments on how he heard a sound coming from the left; walk left to find
a new (White) Teleport Pad. There is another teleport pad in this room, in the
Upper-Right, but you do NOT want to take that pad - it brings you back to the
beginning of the Temple. Gokuu even comments in the game how he has a bad
feeling about the pad...this should tell you NOT to take it, and instead take
the White Pad instead. You'll be taken to a new hallway leading up. Move up
through the corridor, grab the Green Flying Charge (and ignore the White
Telepad, as it will just put you back in the Artifact Room), and head out of
the Temple through the top of the screen. This takes you to the next area, in
which resides:
