SECTION 8: FREEZELAND
Freezeland is the home of ice-based Digimon. Here you can find
many recruitable Digimon, as well as a profitable trading business
which will fill your pocket easily. Mind your Digimon though; some
Digimon dislike the cold climate and can become sick if they stay in
Freezeland too long. And being sick is not a good thing--or is it?
Recruitment Digimon! Angemon can be found in the Ice Sanctuary of
Freezeland, trapped as a statue. You can only enter the Ice Sanctuary
if your Digimon is of the vaccine type. I've never really had a
problem entering the Ice Sanctuary, because a majority of the Digimon
I've had are vaccine. The Ice Sanctuary is located northwest of the
Freezeland toilet. When you first enter the Ice Sanctuary, you will
see Angemon's glowing statue. Inspect the statue up close, and your
Digimon will alert you to a hidden passageway underneath it. Head down
the passageway, into a small hallway with Gotsumon and a blue Meramon.
If you head north to the end of the hallway, you will find a training
area, but nothing else. The secret to the Ice Sanctuary is a hidden
passage in the eastern wall of the main hallway. Near the Gotsumon,
you will find a darkened portion of the wall on your right side. Walk
against it, and you will find that it is really an open passage.
Continue on through the passageway, where Gururumon and Hyogamon
patrol. Enter the next room, and you will find four teleporting
devices. Teleporting devices look like columns of light that have
black pyramids within them. Be careful which teleporter you walk into
though! Only one of them is the correct one which will let you
continue on your journey. The other three place you in random places
in the Ice Sanctuary: in front of the Ice Sanctuary, in the training
area, or back out with Angemon's statue. To save you some trouble,
here's the answer. When you first enter the room with the teleporters,
head to the east and use the first teleporter you see there. You will
end up with more enemies to fight, but on the right path. In the next
room that has transporters, take the northeastern transporter. This
transporter will take you to the final room, where a Hyogamon and two
Gotsumon will be waiting for you. Defeat all three, and you will be
able to free Angemon's spirit, which you can find near the southern
wall of the room. Once his spirit has left, leave the sanctuary
basement. The only important thing is that you have to come up from
the stairs that your Digimon found underneath Angemon. Once you do,
Angemon will greet you, and tell you about his plans for joining the
city. Angemon will join the city as Jijimon's assistant, and will give
you information about where to look next for recruitment Digimon.
Recruitment Digimon! Penguinmon runs the local curling rink in
Freezeland. You will find him in the small cave near the Mojyamon ice
flows. The ice flows can be found if you head east two screens from
the Freezeland toilet, then south one screen. That's fine, but what's
curling you ask? Curling might be the most addicting game in File
City; that is, if you have enough fish to pay Penguinmon! Penguinmon
will explain it pretty thoroughly if you've never played before. Your
job is to beat him at his own game, which isn't hard because the
computer AI isn't too great at curling. Penguinmon will let you play
the first game for free, but if you lose, then you'll have to bring
back a fish to play again. When you beat him at curling, Penguinmon
will join the city and set up a curling arena in the basement of
Greymon's Battle Arena. Penguinmon is a good way to stock up on items
if you enjoy playing curling for long periods of time. For one fish,
he will play a game with you. If you win, he will give you an item,
such as a giant meat or an omnipotent. It doesn't matter what type of
fish you give him, so if you're in a hurry just snatch up some
anchovies down by the lake.
Recruitment Digimon! Mojyamon inhabit the ice flows of Freezeland.
They are traders by nature and will often give you expensive items for
fairly cheap ones. There are three Mojyamons in Freezeland, each
asking for different items.
Southwestern Mojyamon Southern Mojyamon Southerneastern Mojyamon
********************** ****************** ************************
Omnipotent Giant Meat Happy Mushroom
Med. Recovery Speed Disk Digi Mushroom
DigiAnchovy Black Trout Super Carrot
As the game progresses, the Mojyamon in the southwest corner will become
your best friend, but make sure you always have an Auto Pilot with you! Each
Mojyamon asks for three different items, and if you can bring each of them all
three of their desired items, one of them will join the city. Make sure that
you watch which Mojyamon you are trading with; when you finish trading, the last
one to recieve their three items will join the city, and you will not be able to
trade with him anymore. Make sure that you do not trade with the southwestern
Mojyamon last! He is the most important one! The southwestern Mojyamon will be
your money maker. To trade with this Mojyamon for money, first bring with you
an Auto Pilot, 99 med. recoveries, and 99 anchovies. (You don't have to bring
both, and you don't have to bring 99. Just bring as many as you can afford.)
Talk to the southwestern Mojyamon, and trade him all of your med. recoveries and
anchovies. He will give you Super Speed and Defense Disks for your trouble. Be
careful, because this Mojyamon traps you in a glitch, and you'll be stuck in
that spot after trading. Don't panic. Trade everything you need to trade with
the southwestern Mojyamon, then use the Auto Pilot to take you back to the city.
Take all the Disks that you got from the Mojyamon to the Item Shop, and sell
them for 2,000 bits a piece! For every 99 disks you trade, you'll get 198,000
bits. Not bad, for med. recoveries that cost you 49,500 bits and anchovies that
cost you 4950 for meat. Once you're done trading with all of the Mojyamons, the
last trader joins the city and opens up the secret item shop, located down
the stairs of the regular item shop. Mojyamon sells you recovery related items.
Recruitment Digimon! If you have defeated Ogremon in his fortress,
Whamon will appear in the western corner of the ice flows. It seems
that Ogremon has taken over Whamon's cave as his new hideout, which
Whamon is a little angry about. Choose to help him, and he will take
you to the cave where Ogremon waits. Ogremon is accompanied by two
Gabumon and an Airdramon, which you will have to battle. About the
Gabumon, you won't really need to worry. Ogremon's attacks hit
everyone, including his own comrades. They'll be passed out on the
floor before you even know what's going on. Once you defeat Ogremon
and his pathetic crew, they'll run away like cowards and escape in a
submarine. They're headed for a new fortress: one last place to hide.
Whamon is grateful to you for having restored his cave, but informs you
that everything you did was for nothing. Whamon was impressed by your
bravery, and wants to join the city instead of staying in his cave.
Whamon ferries you back to Freezeland, then heads over to File City.
Whamon serves as a second method of transport, taking you to his secret
beach cave and the port side of Factorial Town. When you get back to
File City, ask Whamon to take you back to his beach cave. In the back
of the cave, you'll find an Item Computer with a Mysty Egg in it:
Digitamamon's digivolution item!
Recruitment Digimon! Shellmon's bulletin board tells about a Digimon
that rescues other Digimon from the cold. What does this have to do
with you? Well remember, some Digimon hate the cold. This includes
fire Digimon, in-training, and baby forms. Baby and in-training
Digimon simply haven't built up the strength to resist the cold yet.
If you take a baby form Digimon with you to Freezeland, your Digimon may become
sick. If he does, your Digimon will faint from the sickness and Frigimon will
save you. Once he saves you, he tells you to be more careful with your Digimon
in the cold. You can then visit Frigimon's house anytime you'd like. You tell
Frigimon that you will digivolve your Digimon into a Digimon better suited for
the cold climate, and once you do, return and talk to Frigimon. He will join
the city as the restaurant's ice cream vendor. ^_^ Frigimon doesn't
exactly understand the concept of digivolving, but that's ok. Oh, for
all you meanies out there who are going to purposefully take baby
Digimon out into the cold, to make your Digimon sick you cannot let it
sleep. You may feed it and take it to the bathroom, but no sleeping.
And for those of you who have super-baby Digimon like psychic_strata,
good luck in trying to make your Digimon sick! ^_^ One last note: your
Digimon cannot get sick from cold in the Ice Sanctuary. Sorry!
Recruitment Digimon! Garurumon patrols the westernmost corner of
Freezeland, south of Frigimon's house. If you talk to him, he will
challenge you to a battle. Defeat Garurumon, and he will accuse you of
cheating. Garurumon wants a fair fight: Digimon against Digimon.
Garurumon's challenge is issued for four o'clock; I believe that you can find
him both at 4am and 4pm. If you come any later than four, Garurumon won't be
there. When you do get to battle Garurumon again, it's all up to your Digimon.
Yup, that's right. No healing your Digimon! Make sure that your Digimon is
strong enough to take on Garurumon on its own. It's sort of like Greymon's
tournaments, so it's not too bad. Upon defeating Garurumon a second time, he
joins the city and helps out at the restaurant.
Aside from the Mojyamon trading business, you won't have much
reason to visit Freezeland after recruiting all these Digimon.
Garurumon's Freezeland screen can lead you to the Misty Trees area, but
if you haven't gone through Mount Panorama, Gear Savanna, and Geko
Swamp, it's a pretty bad idea to enter Misty Trees now. Head back to
File City so that you can explore the Mount Panorama area a little. ^_^
SECTION 9: FILE CITY II: INHABITED
File City will be much different than the last time that you
visited it. New Digimon have arrived and set up shops. Buildings have
been built. Digimon roam the streets of File City, all thanks to you.
Throughout time, you will find that almost every Digimon that you
recruit finds a place in the city. Here is a list of each recruitable
Digimon and what they do in the city. Digimon marked with a (NRP)
means that they serve no real purpose to the city, or a purpose is
unnoticable.

WARNING! There are also two recruitment Digimon that will attack
you in File City! These Digimon are triggered by talking to Jijimon.
Recruitment Digimon! After talking to Jijimon when your city has a rating of
12-15, you might encounter Greymon outside his house. Greymon will approach you
and ask you for a battle. If you win, he'll join the city and make a battle
arena. If you lose, he wants that street sign. (What street sign?!) Defeat
Greymon, and he will build his battle arena in the southeastern corner
of File City.
Recruitment Digimon! After Mount Infinity has been revealed, you will
be attacked by an Airdramon that seems to be brainwashed. Airdramon
hits your Digimon before the battle even starts, so be prepared with
recovery items. Defeat Airdramon, and he will rest in Jijimon's house.
After some time, Airdramon opens his own little business in Greymon's
battle arena. Airdramon will tell you your fortune as well as your
Digimon's. He does this for free, and if he tells you that you have
bad luck, don't take it to heart. His fortunes are random and don't
really mean anything.
SECTION 10: MOUNT PANORAMA
Mount Panorama is pretty much one giant circle. If it's early in
the game, you will only be able to access the Gear Savanna from Mount
Panorama. As the game progresses, the Drill Tunnel will open up and
you will be able to travel straight from the tunnel to Gear Savanna.
But to get to Gear Savanna, you will have to pass through the Mountain
for now. There are three recruitable Digimon in Mount Panorama:
Unimon, Vademon, and Mamemon.
Recruitment Digimon! You can't miss Unimon. He's the big metal headed
unicorn that is lying on the ground when you first pass through Mount
Panorama. Poor Unimon's hurt his wing, and needs a sm. recovery from
you. If you can spare one, or any other recovery item for that matter, Unimon
will feel better--enough to join File City! Unimon joins the Item Shop built by
Monochromon, or if Unimon is your first Item Shop Digimon, he will build it.
Unimon offers portable potties, an essential item for any Digimon trainer. Note:
Unimon will not be accessible in Mount Panorama until you recruit Centarumon.
Recruitment Digimon! There have been rumors about a UFO being spotted
near Mount Panorama. You can hear these rumors from Shellmon's
bulletin board. If you go to inspect the Mount Panorama area northeast
of Unimon's screen, you will see odd cuts in the ground. You will
continue to see these circles appear in this area, until you finally
see what is causing them. If you visit this area once in a while,
there's a chance that you'll see Vademon in this area. When you talk to him,
he'll join the city peacefully. WHEW! ^_^ Once you recruit Vademon, he
appears once in a while in the File City Restaurant, cooking up several alien
dishes.
Recruitment Digimon! Mamemon can be found north of the screen with
Vademon's circles, where Mud Frigimon frolic in the fields. Mamemon
appears with a low frequency, but thankfully not as low as Piximon.
Mamemon appears about once every twenty five or so times that you visit
the screen. If you'd like to find him, run back and forth from screen
to screen. Once you see Mamemon, he challenges you to a battle.
Defeat him, and he will join the city. Mamemon works in the secret
item shop, selling super stat disks.
Mount Panorama's end is Gear Savanna's beginning. If you haven't
opened the Drill Tunnel yet, it would be a good idea to start the
Drimogemon on it now. It will provide you with a convenient shortcut
from Native Forest to the entrance to Gear Savanna.
SECTION 11: GEAR SAVANNA
Like Mount Panorama, Gear Savanna is a giant circle. Here you
will find odd enemy Digimon such as the pink-bellied Psychemon and the
zebra-striped Shima Unimon, as well as a new training center. Gear Savanna's
resident Digimon, Leomon, is the source of many Digimon World questions. Gear
Savanna is also home to the Secret Item Shop, which you can find from the 1st to
the 15th of every month.
If you don't have the card machine in the Item Shop yet, it would be a
good idea to visit the Secret Item shop, which is located one screen north of
the Gear Savanna entrance, then west. The Gear Savanna Item Shop sells and buys
cards mostly, but also has a side business of selling lost items. Yep, that's
right. When you lose a battle and are sent back to Jijimon's house, many times
you lose an item to the Digimon who beat you. Well, the Gear Savanna Item Shop
can sell you back these items! If you lose something important, like Grey
Lord's Mansion Key or Seadramon's Blue Flute, be sure to check with the Item
Shop when you can! Also, if you plan on visiting Geko Swamp soon, be sure to
stock up on cards for the master card trader, Shogun Gekomon.
Recruitment Digimon! When you first enter Gear Savanna, head east and then
north, and you will see a Patamon in trouble! You won't need to fight here
though, because Leomon will take care of the bad guy for you. Leomon then
leaves the scene, headed for the Gear Savanna training area. Talk to him, and
he will tell you that he is looking for something, and that he can't go with you
to the city until he finds it. You tell him that if you find it, you'll be sure
to let him know. So what is he looking for? Leomon is looking for his
ancestors' sacred tablet, which can be found in the Drill Tunnel. Remember the
Drimogemon on the third level who is always digging? "Today we're digging.
Tomorrow we're digging. It's so fun." ^_^ When File City's prosperity rating
is above 45, this Drimogemon will finally be done digging! Visit him, and you
will notice that he has found a cave once used by Leomon's ancestors. Guess
what? The tablet that Leomon has been looking for is in this cave. Retrieve
it, then go back to Leomon. When you give him the tablet, he will join the
city. Leomon hangs out in Birdra Transport, but doesn't really serve a purpose
in File City.
Recruitment Digimon! Elecmon paces near a tree, north of Gear Savanna's main
entrance. Talk to him, and he will shock you, taking off some of your Digimon's
HP. Talk to him again, and he'll shock you once more. Talk to him one last
time, and he'll shock you again--but this time Elecmon notes how brave you are
in approaching him. Elecmon then joins the city as its electrical supplier, and
will now reside in File City at night. He asks you if the light makes a
difference to the city. Does it? ^_^
Recruitment Digimon! Patamon can be found east of Elecmon, bouncing around as
usual. Patamon wants to battle you. Not once, not twice, but three times.
After the third round, Patamon will finally acknowledge that he can't beat you,
and you can tell him about joining the city. Patamon agrees, then joins the
city. Patamon joins Monochromon and Unimon in the Item Shop, and if by now you
have all three of these Item Shop Digimon, the card machine will appear in the
Item Shop. Joy! ^_^
Recruitment Digimon! The last Item Shop Digimon is finally found! Biyomon sits
south of Patamon, apparently doing nothing. Sounds like an easy recruitment,
doesn't it? So what's the catch, you ask? When you talk to Biyomon, she runs
from you. Continue to try talking to her, and she will run in a square-like
pattern, always away from you. Trainer gives you a hint to solving this puzzle
when he says that maybe you should wait there. He doesn't actually mean that
you should wait there and not do anything with Biyomon. If you don't provoke
Biyomon in any way, she won't move. What you need to do is find some way to
provoke Biyomon while also remaining in one place to catch her when she runs.
How do you do this? Well, there are two of you, aren't there? Turn around and
press X to talk to your Digimon. This is pretty much the only time in the game
where you can actually talk to your own Digimon, which is pretty cool. Choose
to wait where you are, and your Digimon will then chase Biyomon towards you.
When you finally have her cornered, you can speak with her. You won't have to
fight her, and she will head toward the city peacefully. Biyomon is the last
Digimon of Gear Savanna, so be prepared to move on after recruiting her!
With Gear Savanna finished, you now have access to two areas: Trash
Mountain and Geko Swamp. If you haven't visited Trash Mountain yet, then make
it your priority to go there. Trash Mountain is where you will find your first
fishing rod, as well as a GREAT training area for MP. As for Geko Swamp, there
you will find a, well, interesting trading business going on. Geko Swamp is
where you can get your second fishing rod, which is essential for catching
Seadramon in Dragon Eye Lake. You probably have also seen the giant metal gate
that blocks entry into Factorial Town. As of now, you can only get into
Factorial Town by Whamon, and will have to wait until you solve Factorial Town's
problems before the door opens.
SECTION 12: TRASH MOUNTAIN
Trash Mountain is home of the filth Digimon, Sukamon. The Sukamon are
ruled by the Sukamon King, who resides in the very back of the Dust Kingdom.
The Sukamon King is a rather rude fellow if you don't have anything to discuss
with him, but he may end up to be a good friend of yours if Sukamon is a common
partner Digimon for you. There is only one recruitable Digimon in Trash
Mountain, and he is a rather useless one. But hey, it's still points, isn't it?
^_^
Recruitment Digimon! One of these Sukamon in Trash Mountain wants to join the
city. The problem is that you have to talk to this Sukamon FIRST if you want
him to join the city. I've done it a couple times, and if you talk to another
Sukamon first, then the one that wants to go will not join the city. He says he
wants to go, but I never really see him there. If you want Sukamon to join the
city, talk to the last Sukamon before the Sukamon King. He's the one that
stands near the giant pile of "trash." He tells you that he wants to join the
city, and will show up there from time to time. Back in File City, Sukamon
serves no real purpose. He sits in the bushes across from the toilet, and
informs you that he thinks the city is okay, but that he doesn't like the
toilet. ^_^ Maybe it's a little too clean for him around there.
When you talk to the southernmost Sukamon, he will tell you that he saw
something in the trash piles that may interest you. If you look southwest of
where he is, you will see a stick-like item lying on the floor. Pick it up, and
you will have your first fishing rod! Guess it's time to head back to Dragon
Eye Lake, huh? Oh, one more note about the Dust Kingdom and the Sukamon King.
If your Digimon just happens to digivolve into a Sukamon, bring him to the King
and he will change him back for you. Unless you like having a smelly filth
Digimon, that is.
SECTION 13: DRAGON EYE LAKE
Once you have a fishing rod, you will have full access to Dragon Eye Lake.
Well, that is, if you have a good rod. There are two rods available in the
game: the worn-out rod and the amazing rod. Can you guess which of the two is
better? The amazing rod will get you out farther, but the worn-out rod will do
fine if you are just trying for anchovies, snapper, or black trout. Section 12
will be about fishing with the worn-out rod, and the fish you can catch with it.
If you are looking to catch bigger fish or Seadramon himself, you can find that
in Section 19: Dragon Eye Lake II.
The worn-out fishing rod that you obtained from Trash Mountain isn't too
bad. It reaches far enough to get decent fish like the black trout, which
raises all of your Digimon's stats slightly. There are two places to fish in
Dragon Eye Lake: a northern shore and a southern shore. The northern shore can
be found by heading northwest from the Native Forest toilet; the southern shore
can be found by going one screen south of the Native Forest toilet, then west
until you reach the shore. Here are the fish you can catch in each section with
the worn-out rod.
