*SECTION 2.00 - Foreward*
----------------
Welcome to my little guide, or list rather, that plans to include
every morsel of language Xiao's slingshot Steve decides to tell you
about. Steve, as you may now know, is a slingshot gained by Xiao at a
random point in the game Dark Cloud. I got my first Steve in Sun/Moon
Temple, which is quite late on. Steve isn't a particularly powerful
slingshot, and doesn't Build Up to a great slingshot power-wise (Super
Steve), but it will still take a chunk out of any beasts plans. He
also throws hints on what elements you should be attacking with, and
ones which you shouldn't be attacking with, so you can actually use
this guide to show some weaknesses. Hey! I didn't plan on that! I
think Steve looks like the Gingerbread man, seemingly as witty as
Jack Dee, and provides a lighter edge to this otherwise quite
serious game. Now on to the list, and who knows, it may become a
fully fledged FAQ. And don't complain to me it's crap - this is
my first proper FAQ as such. So bleah :P And note, monsters will
go under the dungeon in which they first appear.


----------------
*SECTION 3.00 - The Remarks of Steve*
----------------
And so we begin. Steve can utter many useful things. He can tell you
the weaknesses and resistances of certain monsters. He can also tell
you what you can get by stealing or defeating an enemy. His information
also includes the way to catch Mardan Garayans (Under Witch Illiza in
WOF) and even how to build up weapons! He's one handy slinshot, but as
he says quite a lot of things, I might be here for a while. His grammar
isn't too good either, he keeps forgetting question marks at the end of
some of his questions. I'll also try and get them sorted alphabetically
(By beast name) but my first priority is getting them done.
So off we go! (And note, monsters will go under the dungeon in which
they first appear.) Also, I would greatly appreciate if someone could
grab what Steve says during the bosses. Naturally I missed those. Heh.


----------------
Section 3.01 - Divine Beast Cave
----------------
Your first stop on the tour, the Divine Beast Cave arguably has the
weakest enemies in the game.

*CAVE BAT:
"He's just a bat. On Second glance. He's a bit cute don't you think?"
"This guy's just target practise."
"Leave him alone and let's move on."
"This cave looks deep."
"Don't waste wind on him."
"That flying rat's got nerve, using poison..."
"Battie, where are you? Don't hide, I won't bite."
"... What do you want."
"Bat's are weak, yo."
"I can get him with a single shot."

*DASHER:
"Did you eat breakfast? If not, you'll have a long painful day."
"You'll be in trouble if he chases you. Notice I didn't say "we"."
"I'm thinking about hair like his. Do you think it'll look good on
me?"
"My back itches. Could you scratch it?"
"Do I talk too much?"
"Xiao's kinda cute."
"What do you want. I'm a bit miffed today. Leave me alone."
"I bet he hasn't taken a shower for a long time."
"I bet he hasn't brushed his teeth either."
"He could be a helluva linebacker."

*GHOST:
"I wonder if anything is under that cloth?"
"Arrrrrgggghhhh!"
"Why don't we do a purification?"
"You never know where he'll come out."
"That thing creeps me out."
"Get away, loser!"
"I... feel a chill..."
"It's just a sheet...That's all it is. A sheet throwing balls of
cursed magic at me..."
"What! He, he is..."
"I... I'm not afraid of ghosts... What!? I'm not!!!"

*KING MIMIC:
"Hot damn! He's a whopper!"
"I knew it wasn't a treasure chest! I knew it! You never listen to
me."
"Chew on dat!!"
"Huh? Weak point? Maybe he doesn't have one."
"Ha dou STEVE!!!"
"My attack is pretty effective on him."
"If he licks me with that tongue, just kill me!!!"
"Is there any treasure in there? Take a look will ya."
"I smell Escape Powder."
"King Steve... Lord Steve... I like it. Either will do."

*MASTER JACKET:
"What does a skeleton need a jacket for? Is he like, cold."
"He must've picked up that outfit at a yard sale."
"Yo, take that punk's jacket when we're through with him."
"Master Jacket... A skelton with...fashion sense!"
"Looks like a salvage job."
"I wonder sometimes, why do I have to be a slingshot? Why not some
absurd fully automatic firearm?"
"I think the name Steve is cool. I think all these monsters like it
too!"
"Bones are cool but meat is better."
"Got a question, don't hesitate to ask."
"I know damn near everything."

*MIMIC:
"Whoa!"
"I don't wanna be tricked again..."
"Eat this!! Please."
"Xiao, say something."
"What's with those pretty eyes?"
"Don't come this way... Don't lick me..."
"Xiao, aren't you hungry?"
"I guess you're not hungry..."
"I smell Repair Powder..."
"My baby brother was such a brat..."

*OPAR:
"He has a hard that's hard to hit."
"You have to aim for his head!"
"He generates a sticky goo from the gills on his tummy!"
"Uggh...He's gross!"
"If you run into him, he'll smash you with his tummy."
"If you use me, you won't have to ram him. See. I'm vital."
"It's cake! It's cake!"
"Go for it!"
"Hey! The head, the head!"
"Arrgh... You get on my last nerve."

*ROCKANOFF:
"Blockhead!"
"He used to be a lot of trouble for me. Let's pay him back now!"
"By the way. How are ya doing?"
"I have my own problems. Really. Wanna hear?"
"I got a rock..."
"Rockanoff's a jazzy name, huh? Let's dance."
"Toan's bag is mysterious isn't it?"
"Eat something nutritious."
"He's confusing."
"If he starts rolling you'll be in trouble."

*SKELETON SOLDIER:
"So how long do we fight the third stringers? Must be lame to be
chosen for Skeleton Patrol."
"Me shatter you like glass."
"No no!! The head, the head!! Hit it hard enough and it may fall off.
Cool!"
"Being undead bites."
"He must be vunerable to that stuff. What? What is that stuff? Use
your noodle."
"Skeletons are usually vunerable to holy stuff. Holy water'll do."
"Skelton's work that dope lightweight look."
"I'm depressed lately..."
"Don't push me around, man. I'll break."
"Calcium rich bones have such a nice pop when they break."

*STATUE:
"Statues aren't supposed to move. Let's help remind him."
"Wish I knew how to slowly lumber into oncoming fire."
"My hair is awesome!!! It takes forever in the morning but tell me it
isn't worth it."
"He's made of stone. Pointing out the obvious makes me feel smart."
"What's he going to do with that thing, rake us to death."
"Huh? His weak point? Why should I tell you?"
"I'm starvin'!"
"Reminds me of last night. I had a dream of my dad... he was a
catapult..."
"I know someone who looks like Xiao and you know what..."
"He has long legs. You needed me to tell you that huh."

*STATUE DOG:
"He's a super deformo beast."
"Deformation? Nowadays? That's so last century."
"But, when you think about it, it may be fun to put it together."
"When it takes a dog's shape, doesn't it remind you of somebody?"
"What was his name? I think it was something called Divine Beast or
something..."
"It may not look like it but he's made of stone... I don't wanna
die from fatigue."
"Hey Xiao! I think we can ride that pony!"
"Come one let's ride him!"
"Don't say it looks uncomfortable because it looks hard. That's
mean."
"No matter how hard he tries, there is no way for him to get
softer..."


----------------
Section 3.02 - Wise Owl Forest
----------------
You should now be getting in to the game, but if you're reading this,
you've probably finished the game anyway. Heh heh. Now we're onto
this set of monsters, which were quite a bit different to the first
set in Divine Beast Cave.

*CANNIBAL PLANT
"It has such thin arms."
"Cannibal plant. So does it like, eat salads and stuff?"
"That guy needs a washing."
"It just goes round and round but it's nothing."
"All bark no bite to this guy."
"Do you understand, Xiao, what it feels like to be a slingshot?"
"Why do I have to raise my arms all the time..."
"To build up a Turtle Shell, a stone and a mimic will do."
"Why on earth can I talk? I'm a slingshot..."
"...I smell peaches..."

*EARTH DIGGER
"He makes me puke."
"That light on his head's cool. Ask him where he got it."
"He looks like a construction worker or something."
"Mole Bashing!"
"What the heck is with his eyes?"
"I though moles were vunerable to light."
"You can't use electricity on dirt, huh? That's smart of him."
"Earth Digger is called Earth Digger because he digs earth. Your
welcome."
"I wonder how Tutti's doing?"
"I don't think he'd be vunerable to wind."

*FLI FLI
"That's the one I saw in my dream the other day."
"He's lame."
"He burnt me in my dream. Burn him back. For me!
"Pretty much looks like a dork huh."
"Bet he'd taste nasty if we ate him."
"He has some kind of drink with him. Let's try it anyways."
"To build up a Steel Slingshot, a dragon, a beast and steel will do."
"Let's dice him and put him in a salad?"
"He's cheeky for a mushroom."
"I am made of wood. Hard wood."

*FRIDAY
"Friday, eh? I'm in love!"
"He's the black on from the legendary Pockle Seven."
"He's got the awesome leaping kicks. Can't even see the wires.
Impressive."
"His eyes are like hunter's eyes going after gome!"
"He's always showin' his teeth. Gross, huh?"
"Don't you think his hat looks geeky?"
"Don't you just love my name?"
"...Achoo!"
"Airhead."
"I'm starving. I wanna eat a piece of bread."

*HALEYHOLEY
"Leave it be, Xiao. It obviously has no friends."
"It'll fly over you screaming when you attack him."
"Be careful when you attack him."
"Let sleeping dogs lie, right?"
"But, when it comes to these monsters, they usually have good items..."
"This guy's a putz... Did I just use that word?"
"Behind his benign face, lies evil intent of the most fearful kind...
Aren't I dramatic?"
"Xiao, where do you get your claws done?"
"I'm sleepy. Good night."
"You heard of this mandragora thing before? Not me."

*HALLOWEEN
"Baked pumpkin, pumpkin pie, pumpkin pudding..."
"Pumpkins are nutritous."
"Do you know the headless pumpkin? He's pretty tough."
"The headless pumpkin comes on a pumpkin tank during a full moon."
"A long time ago, one of my friends was...taken by a headless
pumpkin..."
"Bring my friend back!"
"You pumpkin skum!"
"Maybe you can get a pumpkin bomb. Or, was it a peanut?"
"I want his mittens."
"Just off him already."

*HORNET
"Wow, you're a big bee aren't you."
"I guess he has a hard time too. Having to work every day."
"Careful, he can dodge pretty well... Well, sometimes anyway."
"Hit him hard and fast."
"Watch out for the stinger."
"Bees aren't wild about cold."
"I has a twin sister who I have been separated from for a long time...
I wonder how she's doing."
"My sister was totally cute. She was the belle of the village."
"When I take a close look at you, Xiao you look like my sister."
"Clip your nails girl. That smarts."

*KING PRICKLY
"He should've just been satisfied with being fish bait..."
"There is something strange about hanging upside down. It's fishy."
"All the blood goes to its head and it starts thinking it's a plant."
"I wonder what it's vunerable to. Fire? No way, it's not a plant
right?"
"I think we'll get a Prickly when we beat him."
"Or maybe he turns into a prickly?"
"Or maybe I'm mad!! HA, HA!!
"It was all in vain."
"My pitiful attempts to be cool. Blasted playground!!"
"Why didn't the cool kids play with me?"

*MONDAY
"Monday... What a depressing name."
"He's the blue one from the legendary Pockle Seven."
"Watch out for that spear."
"He looks pale. I wonder if something bad happened to him."
"His bangs are too long."
"It's windy today."
"My name is STEVE! I own you."
"Won't give up will he."
"I think I saw his hat at a garage sale..."
"Need some water..."

*SATURDAY
"Saturday. Sweet, finally the weekend."
"He's the white one from the legendary Pockle Seven."
"He's got the pugliest flare."
"I still think he doesn't look well."
"Come on! That the best you can do little Timmie."
"There must've been a lot of these hats at that garage sale.
"My name is Steve! A pleasure."
"Don't use wind. My hair gets messed up."
"Looks weird."
"I like flan."

*SUNDAY
"Sunday huh..."
"He's the yellow one from the legendary Pockle Seven."
"Beware his fearful Kitchen Knife! He'll spread us like butter!"
"Wow that guy's pale. Get out on the beach or something dude."
"Keep your tongue in your head, man. You're a mess guy."
"He's really annoying."
"My name is STEVE! Bow down before my mighty shot!"
"Looks like a sickly little boy."
"His hat has patches."
"Get lost. Loser."

*THURSDAY
"Thursday. This is getting stale."
"He's the green one from the legendary Pockle Seven."
"He throws poisonous apples. Be cautious."
"He looks pale. I wonder if he has a glandular problem."
"Maybe we'll have something good once in a while."
"I want his hat."
"How'd I get my name...? I don't remember."
"Wind may not work too well."
"He's troublesome."
"It tastes like an antidote drink."

*TUESDAY
"So do these names represent the days when they don't suck."
"He's the pink one from the legendary Pockle Seven."
"That blowdart of his is poisoned. Be careful."
"Looks a little sickly."
"It's raising its hands all the time. Just like me. Except I rule."
"Don't use wind. My fragile body will be blown away."
"My name is Steve! By the way, my sister's name is Stephanie."
"His hat looks cool."
"I hate this loser."
"He has some kind of drink."

*WEDNESDAY
"Wednesday. These names are boring."
"He's the red one from the legendary Pockle Seven."
"That axe doesn't look to friendly."
"His face looks weird. Bet he's lonely on the weekends."
"A Flaming Crimson axe. That's a rare one."
"I wonder if he's ever had a cold."
"Don't you think my name is cool?"
"Where do you think he got his hat?"
"Annoying."
"I feel thirsty."

*WEREWOLF
"Hmm, did the wolf become a human, or a human become a wolf?"
"Why is it always wolf man? Why not wolf chick? That would be all
good."
"Give him a Holy Light not moonlight!"
"He transformed himself not with a full moon but rather with a powder."
"Where does he get his manacures at a body shop."
"I think I saw this guy in a comic book once."
"Yo. What is it like being human, Xiao? Don't think it would work for
me. A human slingshot...messy."
"Sometimes, I remember my old days. I went through many hardships..."
"And on the 6th day Steve created..."
"Wow. I'm beat."

*WITCH ILLZA
"Oh! My buddy's calling! I gotta go."
"Thump, thump, thump. My heart is throbbing..."
"I don't want to get an apple from her."
"My jokes are getting stale..."
"Yo, Xiao! Have a cup of coffee? I'm not talking to the witch bag."
"Apples are not for eating!"
"Let me tell you my state of mind...I wanna be a human as quickly as
possible."
"Don't you wanna hear about the seven miracles of my village. A scary
legend of a witch with white apples...?"
"Did you know that poisonous apples are Mardan Garayan's favourite?"
"Just smash the apple throwing old bag!"
