Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Fortune (1.2 Update Finally Out!)

[Lukingordex]

Hi. I've been enjoying the ROM hack a lot so far! I need help with something, though. There seems to be this new kind of arrest mission, in which the floor becomes just a big rectangle. I have no idea what I have to do. Is the outlaw hidden somewhere? Do I have to use some sort of item? Thanks in advance.

It's an error of the game, although the one-room "version" I've only seen recently on the hack. Sometimes the game fails to properly load the target Pokémon of a mission (both one that needs rescue or an outlaw), so the Pokémon just... isn't there, and you get a message when entering the mission floor saying "... but where's the target Pokémon?". It seems like this can be accompanied with what you experienced, the game also fails to properly load a randomly generated floor on top, and as such defaults to a one-room floor.

Yes... I do recall getting that "where's the target Pokémon?" message. It happened to me twice, both times with outlaw missions in different dungeons. That pic is the second time. I guess it's just a glitch then. Thanks for answering.

Hey question, Is there a easier way to get a Frozen rock than just praying to RNG that you get the item you need? I'd like to be able to evolve my starter but I need one for it.

Yes my boi Fuecoco is in here

 

I also checked my Fuecoco's ability, and it even has its hidden ability Unaware

On of the funniest things I've done with the hack. If you're looking to complete Zero Isle South, Ralts is another solid contender. Especially because it learns a Fairy Type move in Disarming Voice thanks to the hack, and Double Team.

Did anyone managed to get shiny Celebi? I've spent several hours exploring both Dusk Forest and Deep Dusk Forest, and no sign of it. I even tried exploring them holding a Mystery Part (like for regular Celebi), but nothing. Am I missing some requirement, or is it simply bad luck??

Have you played through the special episodes?

No, is the future episode a requirement?

Hi Whimsy, I just wanted to leave a quick post thanking you for this rom hack.

It has been an exceptional experience and I have loved every moment of my adventure.

It’s been many a year since I’ve genuinely enjoyed playing a game so much ! 

Thanks again, 

Yawn

I’ve been playing through and loving this hack it genuinely feels like an even *more* complete experience of EoS but I have a question about where and how to get the Origin Palkia and Dialgas the documentation that came with the hack doesn’t have them listed and Giratina doesn’t seem to offer the option to change them so I’m not sure where they’d be.

I think you need to increase their IQ? I recall that's how they worked in the previous version of fortune

[Red the Hedgehog268]

Hey WindchildWhimsy I'm wondering if you are also planning to add signature moves like for example Skeledirge's Torch Song or Ogerpon's Ivy Cudgel, to this rom hack?

Oh and when does the mirror offering quest become available to me

Are there any other triggers or things I’d need to complete on top of that I’ve maxed out PD’s IQ and it still doesn’t seem to be changing even after going into a dungeon

Hm. In that case I’m stumped unfortunately

Aw man that’s unfortunate. Thank you anyway. Maybe I’ll see if there’s something I can do in SkyTemple.

I ended up testing this by adding a second one in an area I could recruit it but in Origin form. When I left the dungeon it reverted back to base PD so I set it so the Origin form can actually be evolved into. Which worked! It’s kind of a double edged sword since it still reverts forms at the end of the dungeon so to use the Origin form you have to evolve it between every dungeon. But it also means that to do it you don’t have to permanently give up the base one at least. If anyone else figures out how you’re supposed to use them normally though would still really love to know though lol.

Would you mind if I use this rom hack as a base game to my own rom hack?

[Red the Hedgehog268]

I wonder where do I get Time Cogs?

I found one once in Amp Plains, but I think it was pure luck. It's random

They're in Temporal Tower, inside walls and monster houses. I use One-Room Orbs to find them since Trawl Orbs can't grab items that are inside walls. I don't know how far you are into the game, but I'd suggest recruiting Dialga if you haven't already, since after you do, you can go straight to Temporal Tower without having to go through the Hidden Land every time.

[Red the Hedgehog268]

Thanks

As of the last update, Time Gears became Time Cogs and they can be found on the floor in Temporal Tower now, not only in walls.
