When
you enter the frog pond area
of any Qu's Marsh, Quina asks
to spend some time catching
frogs. Quina must be in your
party for this to occur. If
you agree to let him/her catch
frogs, you can control Quina
as s/he runs around the pond
attempting to catch the frogs
that leap onto the ground out
of the water. There's no real
strategy to this; you just need
to be swift.
As Quina catches more and more
frogs, Quale appears occasionally
and congratulates Quina on his/her
progress. The master Qu then
bestows items upon Quina as
rewards for catching frogs.
If you can catch 99 frogs, Quale
challenges your party to a battle.The
trick to this side quest is
to always leave a male and a
female frog in the pond. Otherwise,
it will take an incredibly long
time for the pond to repopulate
with frogs. The spawning rate
is also much faster if you leave
the Golden Frog with a male
and a female frog.
One strategy for
chasing the frogs is to learn
the differences in color. Female
frogs are usually a much brighter
color than males, while baby
frogs are smaller and more olive-toned.
You may want to change the Contrast
on your television or monitor
to distinguish more easily.
Avoid chasing baby frogs, because
they will grow up to become
adults and will be much easier
to catch then.
Quina can learn Blue Magic abilities
by eating Sahagins or Gigan
Toads in Qu's Marsh. You can
learn the reliable Frog Drop
ability by eating a Gigan Toad.
Frog Drop has a 100% success
rate and the strength of this
ability is determined in part
by how many frogs Quina has
caught. The damage follows this
formula:
Quina's
Level x (amount of frogs) x
100 = HP Damage
For example:
If Quina is at level 50 and
s/he has caught 100 frogs, Frog
Drop will cause 5000 HP damage.
