Progressing to Episode 3: FAQ and Planned Fixes

Thank you for playing Ratatan.

There are currently issues with the requirements for progressing to Episode 3 and the display showing which melodies have been collected. We are preparing a patch to address these issues. We apologize for the inconvenience and confusion.

The information below applies to the full release before the patch. This FAQ contains gameplay spoilers for Episode 2, so please read only the sections you need. Specific character names and detailed instructions are included in the spoiler section under Q4.

Q1. I defeated a Dark Ratatan, but I didn't receive a melody. Why?

To obtain melodies, you need to progress through specific encounter events.

Dark Ratatan may also appear randomly as world bosses, independently of these encounter events. Defeating them in these cases will not award a melody.

Q2. All the lights on the Get Going Gate are lit, but I still can't progress to Episode 3. Why?

There is currently a bug that can display melodies as collected even if you have not met the required number of encounters. This means the lights alone cannot tell you whether you have met the progression requirements.

The current version also has encounter-event requirements in addition to collecting melodies. We are working to revise these requirements and fix the display.

Q3. Can I check in the game which requirements I haven't met?

There is currently no way to check in the game which Dark Ratatan encounter requirements you have yet to meet. We apologize for the extra effort involved in making repeated attempts.

Q4. What are the exact requirements for progressing in the current version? (Gameplay Spoilers)

The following section includes specific character names and detailed instructions. Please skip this section if you wish to avoid gameplay spoilers.

You must meet all three of the following requirements in Episode 2. “Fifth encounter” below refers to the fifth encounter event. 1. For each of the following four Dark Ratatan, trigger their fifth encounter event, win that world's boss battle, and obtain a melody. - Reek N. Roll - Bork the Biter - Funky Fang - Midnight Knight You will receive one melody from each of them in the event after winning the battle. If you lose, that Dark Ratatan will reappear in World 1 on subsequent adventures until you defeat them. 2. View all encounter events up to and including the fifth encounter for each of the following three Dark Ratatan. - Panda Monium - Shellshock - The Bamboozler This requirement is the result of a configuration error. We plan to remove it from the progression requirements in the first hotfix. 3. Trigger Tangletung's fifth encounter event and obtain one melody. Once you have met all of these requirements, clear World 5 of Episode 2. After the event, return to Rataport to unlock the option to select Episode 3.

Q5. What will change in the patch?

We are planning the following fixes:

• Remove the encounter-event requirement listed under item 2 in Q4 from the progression requirements
• Fix the display showing which melodies have been collected

After the patch, you will be able to progress to Episode 3 by clearing World 5 of Episode 2 with all five melody lights on the Get Going Gate lit.

We will announce the release date and confirmed changes at a later date.
