E.V.O.: Search for Eden/Chapter 3: Age of Dinosaurs

The Age of Dinosaurs is the time where large reptiles roamed the Earth. It was the time where bigger meant better.

Door to Dina Continent

This region contains a crystal that describes the new features of a reptile. Specifically, two-legged reptiles have a better jump, while four-legged reptiles have a better defense.

From here, you can either head through the Marsh of Prime Frog or through the Domain of Tecodonto. Either path will lead to the Domain of Syrocosaurus.

Marsh of Prime Frog

The northern path contains amphibians watching over the plants and insects. The frogs here have a tongue attack, and unlike most other creatures, can quickly counter attack with their tongue before you can bite them a second time. Usually they aren't worth the trouble, just try to avoid them.

Marsh of Amphibians

This marsh is filled with slightly more aggressive versions of the bull ikustega. However, they provide 15 EVO points each, and can be an useful early source of EVO points.

Domain of Tecodonto

The tecodonto will try to run away from you, but will retaliate any attack you make against them. Worth 12 EVO points each.

Domain of Polsaurus

The polsaurus will show off their head-butt by ramming each other. The best way to collect 20 EVO points from each one is to eat them as they focus on another Polsaurus for their headbutt.

If no other Polsaurus is nearby, they are willing to charge toward you.

Domain of Syrocosaurus

The sole inhabitant of this region is an adult syrocosaurus, who is angry because his child is missing. Walk to the right (without attacking) to proceed, as the syrocosaurus will retaliate against any attack.

Domain of Brosasaurus

While the plant eaters are passive, they are large and powerful enough to slow you down. Attacking them a few times will aggravate them, causing them to swing their tail at you and continue attacking. Your best means to get past is to jump over their body using a tail (or similar) upgrade.

Domain of Prasauro

The Prasauro will retaliate any attack with a loud scream. However, they are worth 50 EVO each.

Domain of Segosaurus

The segosaurus has a tail swipe, and also an armored back that prevents you from jumping over it. They are worth 80 EVO each.

Domain of Prime Frog

In this area, you will see two frogs teasing a young Syrocosaurus. Chase them off the right of the screen, then re-enter the area.

The Prime Frog has two attacks:

• She will spawn smaller frogs that will leap and attack.
• She will leap towards you.

The small frogs provide a constant stream of EVO points that can be used to either evolve further, or to instantly heal by taking a minor evolution.

The Prime Frog can be locked down indefinitely with well-timed bites.

Domain of Tritops

Compared to the Prime Frog, you should have no trouble collecting 90 EVO points form each Tritops.

Ocean of Plesaurus

This is a swimming region. While the Plesaurus is not too difficult, it is able to use a long neck to attack.

The nautilus on the sea floor yield 500 EVO points each, but it has such high defence you can only kill it in a single hit with Tyrasaurus jaws. So this area is a good option to farm EVO points when revisiting, but probably not on the first time you reach it.

Mt. Brave

If you want to obtain a bird body, you will need to scale the mountain. Since this requires a lot of jumping, you should improve either your tail or evolve into using two legs.

Once you reach the top, you can jump off the side to obtain the bird body.

Domain of Pronesaurus

The Pronesaurus is heavily armored, and retaliates any attacks. It is not worth eating.

Domain of Omosaurus

The Omosaurus is the second most powerful creature in the area. This is a great place to collect EVO points before heading to the final location.

Domain of Tyrosaurus

This is the final region within the age of dinosaurs. Your objective is to eliminate approximately 10 tyrosauruses. The most effective evolution for this section is an extended neck, which negates almost any threat from enemy attacks.

While the Tyrosauruses give the option of joining them, it is only for entertainment purposes. As shown in the following cutscene, the dinosaurs were wiped out by the meteor that caused the Ice Age.

Mt. Hidden Mammals

To enter this location, you must have evolved as a bird from Mount Brave. A few Deltadiums will walk across the surface.

Secret location

Notice the dark cloud changing locations? If you try to enter a region as a bird when the dark cloud is over it, you'll fly into the dark cloud instead. The maze contains a green crystal, two red crystals allowing you to transform into a dragon and a gargoyle, and a blue crystal.

The green crystal is at the first turn to the left.

To reach the dragon crystal, return to the first junction, and head directly up until the second junction. Fly all the way to the right to find the red crystal that turns you into the dragon. Be sure to record the dragon, it's a great evolution for boss fights.

From the dragon crystal, return left, and head directly down until you reach the second junction. Turn to the right, then down, then right. From here, reach the top of the maze to enter the River of Asteroids in space. There are three asteroids that may be entered, the most important being on the far left; you can eat a blue crystal for 9999 EVO points. The center asteroid contains a red crystal that transforms you into a gargoyle-like creature, and the right asteroid contains a green crystal. You can also exit directly to the world map by a simple button press, rather than navigating the maze once again.
