Almost 20 years ago in 2007, I played this game on the Nintendo DS. While I finished it, I wasn’t very good at it and was never able to fully complete the game. At the time there were no easy guides to find and had to rely on Game FAQs to do it. Fast forward to 2026 for the Legacy Collection on Nintendo Switch: I’m better at this type of game now but there’s STILL a shortage of side quest guides that are to-the-point and not littered with extreme amounts of ads, so I decided to put one together myself. Here you go!

5 Unlockers (Can buy in sign comp in Echo Ridge)
100 standard chips to get into Deep Space 2
All 150 standard chips (some of them are going to be able to be bought in Deep Space 2, so save up your Zenny, or dropped from viruses there, so use the C. Finder weapon for Mega OR you can cheat like me by using the ciphers in this LINK. Be warned that some of the message ones were made for the DS and for the Switch you just type them out. Minor spelling differences like “Brother-Bands” was just “Brother Bands”)
To get to the Kelvin Transer: either delete all your Brother Bands, or have the Lonely Heart found from a hidden passage on the Living Module Comp from the space station (Living Module hidden wave road path southeast-most jut out point). You talk to the Mr. Hertz there and answer “No”
At the end of Deep Space 3, face your satellite admin as a boss to gain their Megachip. They’ll leave you with cryptic words: “Use it to kindle the 6 stars and conquer the truly lonely evil giant.”
The Lonely/Evil One
So what you need to do now is to find and fight your satellite admin just like the other bosses, both EX and SP forms (pulse out after EX to bring out the SP form), and get BOTH CHIPS. EX is easy, SP… not so much. Good luck. I didn’t get even close. So, I cheated… with CIPHER email codes. Pegasus Magic SP: “Go On Air to trade info with friends.” Leo Kingdom SP: “Star Force, the ultimate power!” Dragon Sky SP: “Legendary Master Shin”
The “six stars” are all of the achievements on the title screen (Beat the game, All standard chips [150], all SP forms beaten, all Mega Chips [30], all Giga chips [5], and defeat of your satellite admin), so after finishing everything, save, and return to the title screen, then continue.
Go to Vista Point and talk to Zack. He’ll tell you there’s a strange noise coming from the piano. Go to the school’s gym and pulse into the piano. There’s a massive group of Jammers there. Talk to them for a 10-round virus busting challenge! When you’re done, go back and talk to Zack, and he’ll ask to form a Brother Band with you!
Leave Vista Point and you get an email from Legendary Shin that says: KMALEETZCP. Go ahead and send a CIPHER email with that code for M. Breath Mega weapon
The only thing left is to challenge Andromeda again because… This time it’s Andromeda INFINITY!! 4000HP and very fast attacks.
When you defeat it, you’ve fully completed the game!
This is a puzzle, adventure game set in Taiwan. The controls are a bit clunky on the Switch, the translation is not perfect, and there’s a bit of a cultural gap. The eastern-minded puzzles are different from the western-minded ones I generally play. I wrote this to help anyone who needs it (and also to help myself try to work through some of them), because there are zero walkthroughs anywhere… In English, at least. It’s recommended to have a notepad or some way to write out the puzzles to understand them better. I don’t 100% know how some of the answers are gotten, but I did work through the ones that make sense to me.

Answer: 13, 7, 12, 9 (Blue, Red, Yellow, Gray)
I think I figured out why (below). Which is kind of misleading given the way the green shape is oriented. This is only way the answer works. #6 is there to mislead
Now that the water is off, open the curtain
Take the Curtain
Use the Handrail on the wall, starting on the southeast corner of the cube and work your way counter-clockwise just as the graphic indicates

Fun Note: If you didn’t take the curtain or use the hair in the water, you’ll still end up with the Cat Toy and Curtain in this chapter

Solution:
Choose: “Do not open it”
Use Curtain
Choose: “Do not open it”
Equip Cat Toy, click on the bathroom hole; Grass will drop the Cat Toy
Wood will say: “I can’t hold it anymore”
Choose: “Go through door”
Bad Ending “4”: Killed by the Old Lady
This is a typo as it’s supposed to be Ending 3
You get this if you do any of the following:
Don’t do anything and let the timer count down
Go through the door
Use Curtain and go out the door
Use Cat Toy and go out the door
Use Curtain and Cat Toy and let timer count down
If you try to go back into the bathroom, Grass will drop Cat Toy. If you count down, or go through the door

So,
Book = 8

There is only one section ‘E’
There is no ‘M’ and “E’ before noon
The afternoon class has ‘M,’ ‘C,’ and ‘E’
No lessons in section 1 and 2, except Wednesdays
There are four sections ‘C’
The morning class on Monday is different from Tuesday
Monday has 4 sections ‘C’ and Friday only has 1 section ‘E’
Hint: The characters on the top row are 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 (Friday, Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday), as they read from right to left
Solution (click to expand)
Answer:
Reasoning:
C: Only 4 total; Only on Mondays; Can be either morning or afternoon
M: Only in the afternoon
E: Only 1 total; Only on Fridays; Only afternoon
S: Only mornings
Fridays only have 1 lesson??
And I don’t understand why Wednesday 1st section doesn’t have class even though it specifically states that no lessons on the 1st and 2nd sections (periods) except Wednesday. Perhaps it’s a cultural thing I don’t know about their schools

Story Spoiler
Open to see the ending spoiler (Click to Open)
Summary: Instead of burning the tree, they all decorate the tree with the 100 red leaves they’d gathered. The weather turned from stormy to sunny. Beiyue and Xifeng are nervous about going back, given their lives are crappy. Wood’s real name is Lu Heyuan. They get back to their world (out of Luoyu’s heart/soul world, because that’s her power). They get a call that grandma is ill. They all go to the hospital where they get to talk to her, then watch her pass away. Time passes and their lives change for the better, slowly, while they all remain friends, never forgetting the adventure that pushed them together.
Ending dialogue (word for word):
“Zhizhu wanted to share the good news with the old lady, but she wasn’t home. The phone range. It was the hospital. The old lady passed out at the front door. She is in critical condition. We picked up Luoyu, Xifeng and Beiyue on the way to the hospital. The old lady was so weak when we arrived. Luoyu cried out loud when she saw the old lady at the hospital. The old lady smiled at Luoyu. Luoyu couldn’t stop crying. The old lady looked at us and smiled. She asked Luoyu to come closer and then she whispered to her.
Grandma: “Luoyu, you are special and unique. Be yourself!”
Luoyu: “I will, grandmother!”
The old lady passed away with a smile. Time flies! Luoyu’s parents appreciated that we had spent a lot of time with the old lady and brought Luoyu back. Afterwards, Luoyu began to take care of Xifeng and Beiyue’s matters. Luoyu reported the orphanage’s director’s behavior to the police. I still remember when I saw Beiyue at the orphanage. She was skinny and wore dirty clothes. Luoyu pulled some strings to help Beiyue so she could be adopted. Not sure that this is the right decision, but at least Beiyue can live in a better place.
Beiyue: “I suddenly think that you are the best.”
Luoyu: “What are you talking about, Beiyue?”
About Xifeng, his mother went back home to take care of him. Luoyu convinced his father to divorce his mother while he was in jail. Zhizhu also helped Xifeng. Zhizhu hired Zifeng to work for him, so Xifeng could cover his own expenses. This way, Xifeng could spend more time studying. Xifeng took the job and thanked Zhizhu.
Luoyu: “Well! Like grandmother said, ‘Be yourself!’ ”
Xifeng: “You are!”
Heyuan, Zhizhu, Luoyu, and I went back to the old lady’s house. The house was simple and elegant, just like before. We walked around and thought of the old lady and everything that had happened.
Zhizhu: “Hey! Let’s make an apple pie!”
Great idea. However, we don’t have any apples. Zhizhu rushes to buy some.
Luoyu: “Zhiqui, your apple pie tastes just like the old lady’s!”
Zhiqui: “Ha! I can teach you how to make an apple pie.”
ZhiZhu: “Haha. What did you just say? Are you sure you can teach her, haha!”
Zhiqui: “What did you say?!”
We spent the day at the house and had a great time together. We all know that we need to move on.
Luoyu: “It’s unbelievable!”
Heyuan: “What’s the matter?”
Luoyu: “We’ve been through a lot.”
Heyuan: “We have. I won’t forget what we have been through.”
Luoyu: “Me too.”
Luoyu didn’t understand what I was talking about, but she will someday
Note: I don’t understand what they’re talking about, either, or who, exactly, is narrating
.…
Zhizhu: “Look.”
Xifeng and Beiyue wave to us. They are late. Everyone is inside the house, enjoying apple pie and chatting. Luoyu and I stay outside to watch the red leaves fall down from Forever Red.
Zhiqui: “It’s beautiful.”
Luoyu: “Yeah, It’s beautiful. Thank you.”

Red Leaf Locations
Total: 104
Note: I went to play through a 2nd time and ended up with extra leaves! I already hit 100 and got more… Which means that I’m not sure where the extra ones came from, and that there’s possibly 105
For every ending, you get Red Leaves, and they are scattered throughout the game. You basically have to click/poke everywhere to find them
Another Note:Sometimes some leaves give you +2, and sometimes it doesn’t. I’ve played through at least 5 times now, and ones that gave +2 changed to +1 and some that were +1 changed to +2. It seems super random
