Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
Set in a dystopian world consumed by an undead plague orchestrated by the Immortals, this game casts you as the last Solar Boy, the sole heir to the legendary Vampire Hunters. Your mission is to venture into the chaotic, death-stricken city of Istrakan to avenge your father and halt the spread of darkness. Armed with the Solar Gun "Gun Del Sol" and the power of sunlight, you must fight to restore the sun and save humanity from extinction.
Story
The Story
In a place not far from here and now, the End of the World approaches. The Undead appear, breaking the natural cycle of life and death. The evolution of species ceases... and, one by one, they become extinct.
In the Age of Darkness, when mankind forgot its Sun, the dark race of Immortals rose and turned the City of the Sun, San Miguel, into a city of death. Their dark curse used the Undeadening power of dark matter to turn all living beings into Undead.
When at last the strongest Vampire Hunter of them all was felled, all hope seemed lost. But, that same day, a boy left behind San Miguel and its wandering Undead.
The true heir to the Solar Gun "Gun Del Sol," and the blood of Vampire Hunters in his veins, the Solar Boy truly was the last hope. He headed for Istrakan, the city of death, where the Immortals' end-of-ages meddling had caused different times and places to mingle in confusion.
Armed with only sunlight, will the Solar Boy be able to avenge his father? Will he be able to stop the Undeadening? Can he bring back our Sun?
Tips & Maps
Overheating the Solar Gun
If strong sunlight enters the Solar Sensor for too long, the Solar Gun will overheat and must be cooled down in a shady spot. Glass windows weaken sunlight, but sufficient light may still be available on sunny days.
Solar Energy in Shade
The game does not always require strong sunlight; check the Solar Gauge as reflected light from walls and the ground can provide enough energy even in the shade.
Map Symbols
The Dungeon Map and Field Map use different symbols, so check carefully. Dungeon maps feature specific icons for entrances, exits, bosses, and items, while field maps indicate incomplete or cleared dungeons.
Map Navigation
A red arrow on both Dungeon and Field Maps indicates your character's current location and direction.
Pause Screen
Press START to pause the action, where you can save game data and change game settings.
Sleep Mode
Hold SELECT, L, and R simultaneously to enter Sleep Mode, which turns off the display and saves energy. For long breaks, save the game and turn the system off to prevent data loss if batteries die.
Sun Bank
You can deposit solar energy stored in Solar Stations to collect interest and boost your energy supply.
Dark Loan Corporation
This location allows you to borrow solar energy, but you must repay the loan with high interest.
Sun Bank Accounts
While game progress is separate for two player files, the Sun Bank account is shared, allowing one player to withdraw energy deposited by the other.
Special Items
Solar Leaves transport you to the Solar Tree, See-All Nuts reveal hidden objects, Fool Cards restart the area, and Sol Emblems open sealed doors.
Skylights
Skylights inside dungeons allow you to collect solar energy if sunlight is available, and can also damage Undead enemies lured underneath them.
Stealth Tactics
Avoid battles by watching enemy movements, knocking on walls to distract them, and sneaking around. You can also stun enemies by firing a Solar Shot from behind to immobilize them temporarily.
Marks Above Undead
Various marks and bubbles indicate an Undead's current state, such as discovering your character, sensing presence, losing sight, being stunned, knocked unconscious, or sleeping.
Indoor and Outdoor Areas
Solar charging is available in outdoor areas where sunlight enters the sensor, except indoors unless under a skylight with real-world sunlight, which can also damage Undead enemies lured there.
Sunlight Affects the Game!
Sunlight impacts traps, devices, and enemy behavior, such as drying puddles, affecting wind strength, and powering the Pile Driver, with stronger sunlight resulting in more powerful attacks.
Emblem Copying
Obtained emblems from the Azure Sky Tower can be copied, with copied emblems showing the original owner's name; this feature requires at least one emblem from the tower to unlock.
Passwords
Enter passwords from the official Konami website into the game to view gameplay evaluations and find the latest information about Boktai.
How to Play
Gameplay
Drag out enemy bosses and purify them! The objective of Boktai is to drag Vampires - the dark race of Immortals - out of their Dungeon homes and into the light of the Sun in order to purify them, thus bringing the Sun back to the world. By evading the many tricks and traps placed throughout Dungeons, your aim is to hunt down enemy bosses, defeat them, and purify them with the Pile Driver.
To rescue the world from darkness and dread, you must become a Vampire Hunter. Track down bosses hidden in the deepest darkest corners of the Dungeons and bring them into the light of day!
Game Flow
1. Enter a Dungeon and search for the boss
2. Defeat the boss and put them in their coffin
3. Drag the coffin to the Pile Driver
4. Use the Pile Driver and solar energy to purify the boss
5. Proceed to the next Dungeon
Get the solar energy you'll need to play Boktai from the Solar Sensor! The Sun is your ally.
Solar Energy and the Solar Sensor
You will need sunlight as you play Boktai. The Solar Sensor on the Boktai Game Pak senses your playing environment and sends sunlight (solar energy) data to the game in real time. Strong sunlight will refill your solar energy battery quickly, and weak sunlight will be less effective.
The Solar Sensor is embedded inside the slit in the back of the label seal side of the Boktai Game Pak. When using the Game Boy® Advance SP, where the slot for the Game Pak is on the bottom, make sure the Solar Sensor isn't in the shade.
•
*Beware*: If the Solar Sensor detects too much sunlight within a set period, the Solar Gun may overheat and cease to function for some time.
•
Do not let the Solar Sensor get wet, and do not use/store it in conditions of excessive heat or cold.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the Solar Sensor.
*The Solar Sensor functions to some extent even in indirect sunlight or in shade, but the amount of solar energy you can obtain is reduced.
Boktai and the Internal Game Clock
Using the clock function embedded in the Game Pak, the screens and content of Boktai change from daytime to nighttime, just as in the real world. The Undead are active and mobile at night, but spend the daylight hours resting deep inside Dungeons.
When Do I Need Solar Energy?
You'll need solar energy to charge your only weapon, the Solar Gun, and to activate the Pile Driver during boss battles. Solar energy detected by the sensor can also change the course of the game in various ways.
•
Charging the Solar Gun with solar energy
•
Purifying an enemy boss with the Pile Driver
