14. Brazillian Ninja Village -- Momonga Trial, go 200, 220, 230, and 280 feet,

Q: I want the good ending, but I'm missing some of Shania's statues!
A: I get this one a LOT, so to save me the grief...
Thunderbird
Eagle Statue: Zonda gives this to Shania at the Grand Canyon
Swan Statue: Defeat the Sasquatch UMA at the Grand Canyon
Hawk Statue: Found in a chest outside the Las Vegas hotel
Owl Statue: Reward for clearing the App Beast Med II Pit Fight
Tatan'ka
Wolf Statue: Reward for defeating Tatan'ka
Bear Statue: Snap Trade reward, talk to Samuel and exchange five No. 23s
Bison Statue: Reward for defeating Malice Edna
Horse Statue: Reward for clearing the Basic Beastology IV Pit Fight
La Sirene
Orca Statue: Reward for defeating La Sirene
Whale Statue: Lottery Prize at the Caribbean
Shark Statue: Reward for defeating Kerufe
Dolphin Statue: Defeat the Tihozhodhi UMA at the Caribbean
Tirawa
(All the statues are located in Garvoy Valley)
H'urara Statue: Underneath the bridge, in the area where you first enter
Hotoru Statue: In the path leading to the ladder, hug the left side. This one
is easy to miss, but it's marked by a "?"
Shakuru Statue: Hidden in a ruin left of the Sky Altar
Chahuru Statue: At the Sky Altar itself, hug the left side
HILDA'S FORMS:
--------------
By consuming kilocalories (referred from here as calories), Hilda can
change into different forms and access different skills.
Having -99 to -11 calories will put Hilda into the Slim form. Low HP, high
MP, and her Magic Arts will specialize in offense.
Having -10 to +10 calories will turn Hilda into the Pink Bat form. Overall
HP and MP will be halved, but physical attack will go up.
Having +11 to +99 calories will transform Hilda into the Curvy form. High
HP and low MP in contrast to the Slim form, but her Magic Arts will focus
on healing and supporting the party (except for Grand Slam).
If you get to -100 or +100 calories, Hilda will go into her Mask form.
Aside from her stats going through the roof and wearing a mask during
battle, this is no different than if she was in her normal Slim/Curvy
forms. The Mask form lasts only three battles, and after that, she turns
into the Pink Bat with zero calories.
Certain items will decrease/increase Hilda's calories. The Fruity Fiber
will decrease calories by -25, and the Angel Souffle will increase
calories by 25.
If you don't want to use those items, the other way to manipulate Hilda's
calories is by using Calorie Drain on enemies during battle. Some enemies
will have negative calories and some will have positive calories. If
Johnny's Snapped/obtained a Snap Card of a monster, and the party
encounters that monster in battle, that monster's calorie info will be
displayed right next to its name.
