Customize, train, and gear up your own fox-like creature to reclaim the fragments of the precious Star Stone and drive out the enemy monster invasion! What Vulpin Adventure may lack in depth is more than made up for in charm and a fair bit of nostalgia. You're bound to notice the nods made to beloved games of yore, and it's impressive how well this game manages to incorporate those features.

And if the music isn't familiar enough, it's from Pseudolonewolf, creator of MARDEK! Which is pretty cool, Ithinks.

you forgot the blue flame
[Thank you for your suggestion, the walkthrough has been edited to include that addition -Trinn]

You're also missing the Spiny Earring. It boosts Att +2 and the Seahorses drop it. Very detailed guide though!

Fun game and very cute graphics. A little too easy, though, and could definitely stand to be a bit longer.
[Thank you for finding another addition to the guide. I do my best to include everything I can find, but contributions from the community make all the difference :) -Trinn]

I can't get to the other areas besides the earth one!

The Ability "Heal" can also be dropped by the Inpus (the black dogs in the desert areas). My Vulpin happened to find one right before the boss battle. Very helpful!

[Added! Thanks for another helpful find. Keep em coming, guys :) -Trinn]

Thanks Trinn!

I'm surprised that no one has yet mentioned how overpowered the defense stat can be.
Really, if you just work on putting points into DEF, you won't have to worry about losing the game at all, because enemies (even the final boss) will do 0 damage to you, unless they critical hit for up to 3 damage.

That being said, I did enjoy the game very much, even though a few features of the game seemed just plain missing. I wish I had Trinn's game guide back when I was playing this game! I would have played it even more, hunting after certain items, the extra paints, and all the achievements.

Hi, my owner have gotten me some really cool equipment, everything from Darklight castle. I'm looking really cool, and it's all thanks to you Trinn ^w^ -Lunar

[Thanks, Lunar! Happy to help :) - Trinn]

what about the maps that enemies drop? i found a map that went to a place called "edge of the desert" where i found a new color to make my vulpin

Reply

went trough darklight castle several times - but none of those darkdragons dropped my last missing ability lunar rain... :-(

Reply

@Skabby - keep on trying!! Eventually one of the Darkdragons will drop the Lunar Rain book. It took me ages as well and you have to fight a lot of them, and that was my last ability too - now completed the entire game!

Reply

I recommend going pure tank just max out defense and health a little evenly until they're both 10 and then go pure defense then max your attack. buy heal ASAP.

Reply

I wish there was more space in the inventory or an inventory upgrade, it's annoying to constantly be going back to the storage to store the many items I get from battles. :P

Reply

Is my game screwed up or is there just the one screen in the "Darkwood" section??? All I have when I go there is an arrow sign back (left) that takes me back to the home area. I tried refreshing the page but no dice.

Odd.

Reply

A happy vulpin is a deadly vulpin.

Reply

Do I have to do something to get the water boss to appear? I go to the boss screen and its not there, i can walk straight into the place where the map will be but its also missing. I've tried refreshing the page but it's missing.

Reply

I saved my game after I played it once, but it showed up later as an empty file ): Sigh...

Reply

is there an achievement for collecting all items ?

Reply

How do I unequip items? I need help ;-;

Reply
andr01d May 2, 2017 1:25 AM replied to Gracie

Gracie, to unequip you can either swap it out for another item that goes in the same place (eye, tail, etc.) To have NO item in that spot, you have to go Home and open the storage menu, then drag the item into storage.
