*hit haddock challenge complete with gold* AHH i'm so relieved now...let's try another challenge *sees slalom challenge" Oh my God..not another stressful thing again...
stock exchange is VERY useful if you know how to use it,just mine some gold or mineral,and then buy scraps with the exchange system,buy garnets with the scraps,use the garnets to upgrade "Gold Mining" or "Mineral Mining" (depends on what you wanna mine,they cost almost the same in the stock exchange) repeat it,and you can complete whole story.
that may be the case. shield is just for staggering. if shield is down, any attack you do will make him flinch.
