Petz: Dogz 2 and Catz 2/Optional Missions

Some missions are required to complete the game, whereas others are optional.

Nature Fishing (Catz only)
If you go to Jade Fields, you will see a house on the west side, across a bridge. When a Birman named Maria appears infront of it, talk to her and she will take you to a place called the Catz Hideout. She is studying all the fish around and will ask you to catch eight fish.


 * Mullet
 * Bonito
 * Spanish Mackeral
 * Grunt
 * Goby
 * Sea Bass
 * Flatfish
 * Sunfish

They can all be caught at a fishing pier on the tiny island where she has taken you to. When she has studied a fish you gave her 'intently', she will give it back to you, and you can sell it at the Pawn Shop or put it in the Aquarium (if the Aquarium been repaired) when you get back to Pawville. This mission takes quite a while and if you get bored and decide to go back to the main island, if you decide to do it again you'll have to start over. When you have given her all the fish she wants, you can choose to have a Yuke Butterfly or a Rainbow Butterfly.

Catching Bugs Galore (Dogz only)
When you go to the house in Jade Fields, if Marin, a Shih Tzu, is standing outside, you can talk to her and she will tell you that she is a pupil of Warren's, and she needs your help to catch bugs for her to study. If you say yes, she will take you to the Dogz Hideout (the Dogz hideout is much bigger than the Catz hideout, but there is no fishing pier). You need to catch the following bugs;


 * Cabbage White
 * Green Banded Swallowtail
 * Scarce Swallowtail
 * Common Skimmer
 * Red Dragonfly
 * Bell Cricket

Each time you have caught one if you have not caught it in this area already, you will take it to Marin and she will study it. Then she will hand it back to you. If you decide to quit this mission and go back to Jade Fields, next time you decide to do it you will need to start over. When you have caught all the bugs for Marin, you will have the choice of having a Silver Butterfly (worth 1800G in the Pawn Shop) or Gold Butterfly (surprisingly only worth 500G in the Pawn Shop, which is less that a Silver Butterfly).

The Fruit Collecter
Charlotte in North Pawville will swap ten of a special kind of Mangos, Pinapples and Watermelons for an object which will give you an extra heart. When you are sniffing for normal items, you may find them, but you will not know if they are special until you dig them up. Although they are special fruits, the have no special smell, and when you dig one up it will be sent straight to Charlotte, although unlike in other missions you don't get sent back to North Pawville. The special fruits can usually be found in a certain level, and by re-entering that area there will usually be one or two of that fruit somewhere. As soon as you dig a fruit up, you will be able to tell that it is special because you won't be able to move. Then Beat will tell you that it is a special fruit.

When you have found ten of each, go back to Charlotte and she will make the special dessert which will increase your maximum health by one heart.

The Vegetable Collecter
You can find Ambrose next to the Police Station in North Pawville. If you choose to take on his task, he will ask you to get 10 Carrots, 10 Tomatoes and 10 Potatoes. Then he can make a meal which will increase your maximum health by one heart. This is exactly the same as Charlotte's fruit task, except you need to find vegetables instead. Likewise, they are just regular vegetables until you dig them up, there is a 50:50 percent chance that the one you dig up will be special, and can be found in specific locations.

When you have ten of each, go back to Ambrose and he'll make the meal for you.

The Fishy Home
This mission becomes available after you have helped Godfrey by thawing the frozen river. When you see Charles standing outside the Aquarium with a question mark over his head, talk to him and he will ask if you want to increase the amount of fish they can keep in the Aquarium. If you could get some Driftwood or a Lava Stone the fish would have somewhere to live. He asks you to find some Driftwood/Lava Stone at Roaring Falls in Whisker Woods.

When you get to Whisker Woods, go to the steps that lead to Roaring Falls and go to the right (east) and between the steps and the river. You can find the Driftwood/Lava Stone here. You take it back to Charles.

Charles thanks you and you are now able to hold another ten fish in the Aquarium.

A New Breed of Trouble
This mission becomes available after Theophilus has asked you to look for the Ice Crystal. Charles will be standing outside the Aquarium with a question mark over his head. If you talk to him, he wil tell you that the Fish Studies Group found out that there might be a fish called the New Breed Rainbow Fish or Golden Angler Fish that can be caught in the Polar Fields. But he'd made it sound like he'd actually hooked one, and now the Fish Studies Group want to come and see it! He asks if you could go to the Polar Fields and see if you can catch the newly discovered fish.

Before you go there, go to the Hot Spring in Whisker Woods and dunk the Warm Stone in it to get the Hot Stone. Then go to Polar Fields.

Near the large patch of ice in the Polar Fields, you will see a gigantic ice cube. Go up to it and press to use the Hot Stone to melt the ice. You can now get past to a sea fishing pier. You need to fish here until you catch the fish that Charles asked for. If you can't catch one, try re-entering the level. But every time you re-enter you need to go back to the Hot Spring in Whisker Woods as somehow the ice block re-freezes itself.

You take it to Charles and you can now keep up to 30 fish in each tank (River Tank and Sea Tank) of the Aquarium!
