In Neopets: The Search for Princess Lunara, you play as an Aisha tasked with retrieving Princess Lunara. However, the path is fraught with obstacles, mainly in the form of Palace Guards who challenge you with questions. Answering correctly allows you to pass through, while incorrect answers result in having to bribe the guards or worse—game over.
To succeed and earn the Gold Trophy, you need to memorize the questions and answers within a specific category. Here’s everything you need to know about the game, including how to pick a category, memorize the answers, and perform well under pressure.
How to Play Neopets: The Search for Princess Lunara
When you begin the game, you are tasked with selecting how many questions you wish to answer. To strive for the Gold Trophy, choose the option for 12 questions. There are three main categories to choose from:
- All About Neopian
- Neopian Culture
- Notable Neopians
Once you pick a category, you’ll be asked a series of questions with multiple-choice answers. It’s essential to answer correctly to avoid paying a bribe or facing the penalty of game over.
The game introduces three guards, each guarding a specific area. Each guard asks you a different set of questions, and you must answer each question correctly to proceed. If you fail, you’ll either have to bribe the guard (if you have enough points) or risk the game ending with the guard accusing you of the kidnapping.
Key Game Features
- Time Limit: Some questions come with a strict time limit. These are indicated in bold and underlined text. It’s crucial to answer these questions quickly to maximize your score.
- Speed Bonus: The quicker you answer, the higher your Speed Bonus. This is essential in securing the highest possible score, which can help you win trophies.
- Bribing Guards: If you answer incorrectly, you may have to bribe the guard to proceed. However, you need points to do this, and there are only a limited number of opportunities to bribe a guard before the game ends.
- Memory Challenge: Memorizing answers within a single category is key. If you stick with one category throughout the game, you will have a better chance of recalling the answers, thus performing well in the game.
Choosing a Category
To maximize your chances of success and minimize the difficulty, it’s best to focus on a single category. Here’s what each category entails:
1. All About Neopian
This category includes questions that focus on general knowledge about the Neopets world. Expect questions about Neopia’s history, locations, and various features.
2. Neopian Culture
This category is all about the traditions, customs, and cultural aspects of Neopia. It can cover everything from Neopian festivals to famous events and important Neopian figures.
3. Notable Neopians
This category focuses on prominent figures in Neopia. Questions may include information about famous Neopets characters, their backgrounds, and their achievements.
Tips for Memorizing Answers
- Choose One Category: As mentioned, pick one category to stick with throughout the game. Memorizing the answers in a single category is far easier than trying to juggle all three.
- Create Flashcards: Write down the questions and answers for the chosen category. Use these as flashcards to help reinforce your memory. You can even keep them open on another screen or print them out to have a reference during gameplay.
- Group Similar Questions: Some questions will be similar in nature. Try grouping these questions together in your mind. This can help you recall answers faster when the questions appear in the game.
- Practice Speed: Practice answering the questions quickly. The faster you answer, the higher your Speed Bonus will be, which is essential for getting a high score and earning a trophy.
- Use Keyboard Shortcuts: If you’re quick with your keyboard, use the number keys (1-4) to select your answer. This can save precious seconds when you’re racing against the clock.
- Repetition: Play through the game multiple times, focusing on memorizing different categories and their questions. This will help reinforce your memory and allow you to recognize questions faster.
Game Mechanics: How to Handle the Guards
As you progress through the game, you will encounter three Palace Guards, each stationed at different parts of the game. Here’s what you can expect from each:
1. The First Guard
The first guard asks relatively easier questions. The questions will be about general Neopian knowledge, such as which Neopet is most common in the game or which items are traditionally used in a Neopian event.
2. The Second Guard
The second guard’s questions will get slightly more difficult. You may be asked about Neopian history or specifics of popular Neopets characters.
3. The Third Guard
By the time you reach the third guard, the questions will be much harder. This is where your memorization skills come into play. You’ll need to recall facts quickly and accurately to avoid losing the game.
If you answer any question incorrectly, you will be forced to either bribe the guard using your points or face a game over scenario.
Bribing the Guards
Each time you answer a question incorrectly, you’ll need to bribe the guard to continue. Here’s how bribing works:
- Bribe Cost: The cost of bribing a guard depends on how many mistakes you make. You’ll need a decent number of points to bribe, so it’s important to answer the questions as quickly as possible to maximize your score.
- Guard Accusation: If you don’t have enough points or fail multiple times, the guard will accuse you of the kidnapping, and the game will end.
Earning the Gold Trophy
To earn the Gold Trophy, you need to answer all 12 questions correctly within your chosen category. Here’s what you need to do:
- Pick 12 Questions: Select the option to answer 12 questions at the start of the game. This gives you the best chance at earning the highest score and unlocking the Gold Trophy.
- Answer Correctly: Avoid mistakes, as each error will cost you points. You must answer all questions correctly to proceed.
- Speed is Key: The faster you answer, the higher your Speed Bonus. This bonus can help you achieve a higher score, which is crucial for earning the trophy.
Other Tips for Success
- Stay Calm Under Pressure: Some questions will have a time limit. Don’t panic! Take a deep breath and focus on quickly recalling the correct answer.
- Use External Resources: If you’re really struggling to memorize the answers, consider using a second screen or printout with the answers visible. This will help you avoid mistakes when answering.
- Play Multiple Times: Don’t be discouraged by mistakes. Every time you play, you’ll get better at memorizing the questions and improving your speed.
