print meChapter Selection
To unlock the option to play any chapter at any time, complete the game once through and save your game after the ending sequence.
print meDifficulty at First
You can't change the difficulty right away, but if you wait around two chapters into the game, it allows you to change from normal to easy.
print meDon't try to focus on both screens right away
Before you get the hang of the game, I wouldn't advise trying to watch both screens of the game, watch one for like 3 seconds, then the other.
print meDrop Rates
Pins are dropped by Noise after they are defeated sometimes. To increase the chances of getting a certain pin, then you can do one of two things:
-Decrease your level. This adds 1 to the drop rate for every level dropped
-Chain battles, this multiplies your current multiplier by the number of battles chained (4 battles chained, 1 normal drop rate = 4 drop rate)
print meGetting Shadow and Dark Matter
A quick and easy way to get the most elusive pins in the game.
Dark Matter:
Requirements: Ultimate Mode, Chain 16 (Recommended), Level 80 (Recommended)
Set your difficulty to Ultimate and set your drop rate to around 30 (around 25 if fine though- no less!). Then, go to Week 1, Day 4, and when you're allowed a break from the dialog pick your partner of choice (but remember that you will fight Reaper Beat with Joshua no matter what), then scan while at the left side of the area. Touch the boss symbol first and then touch as many other Noise symbols as you can (don't worry; when you get to them, they'll be easy).
Fighting Reaper Beat:
He's insanely fast, making projectile attacks fairly inaccurate, so opt for pins that bring Neku close to him and guarantee a hit. I use(d) Shiro, Healing Bunny, Boomer, Rhyme (sub pin), Kanesada, and Tin Pin Blade. All of Beat's attacks are physical, so you'll know when he's attacking and when you're in danger. Remember, this doesn't have to be pretty, you just need to hope that, when the fighting is over, it's a large red pin that you collect.
Finish off the Noise, which at this point is even easier done than said, and you'll have collected a Dark Matter pin.
Shadow Matter:
Requirements: Ultimate Mode, Chain 16 (Recommended), Level 80 (Recommended)
Set the difficulty to Ultimate and go to Week 3, Day 7 (actually, you can do this on any chapter with Taboo Noise, but W3/D7 allows you to go pretty much anywhere you want, so it's not necessary to go to Another Day), and go to an area with Taboo Noise. Pick the partner you're most comfortable with, then scan.
Once a Taboo Noise or two gets close, start chaining as many other Noise as you can. There's only a low, low chance of the Taboo Noise coughing up Shadow Matter, so the higher you drop rate, the better (I managed to get about 4 of the pins (in one try) with my drop rate at 30 and only chaining two or three battles, so don't worry.).
Kill the Noise and hope that it's large red pins you're picking up.
ALTERNATELY
(Please note that I DO NOT prefer or recommend this method.)
Go to Week 2, Day 7 and head to Shibukyu Main Store. Scan while around the middle of the area, touch the boss symbol first, then any other amount of Noise you want. (WARNING: The boss will be powerful.) Put your drop rate high; Shadow Matter is still rare.
Now, you'll be fighting Minamimoto (first time you fight him), but he's NOT YOUR TARGET. Instead, you're aiming for the Taboo Noise he spawns. Keep killing the Noise as much as you want and ignore Sho, and keep watching for the red pins. You can get an unlimited amount of Shadow Matter this way, but remember that your inventory will cap it at 99. Remember that Minamimoto is difficult to beat, so go into battle EXTREMELY WELL PREPARED.
Hope this helps.
print meHigher Pin Drop
If you want to gather more pins from a battle, you can lower your level via your cell phone. You have less HP and the enemies are harder, but you will receive more pins from the Noise.
print meKeep Neku moving while looking at partner
A tip I use to try not to be Erased is to keep Neku moving even when I am looking at another screen, by rubbing my stylus all over the screen.
print meLeveling Pin Fast
to lvl your pins, first change ur ds year to 2000. next go to ur game and save. Remember to put the pin u want to level on your deck ur equip with. After change ur ds yr by 1+. u should be recieving massive pp now. After ur done recieving ur exp save or else u wont get the points. Now do the same, except do not change it to 2000 instead change your clock to 1+
so it will be like this. 2000 1+ 2001 1+ 2002
print meMingle tips
Retail outlets (specifically those that sell Nintendo DS and DS games) are great places to use mingle mode.
1.Take your DS and TWEWY to the demo DS in the store.
2.Activate mingle mode on your DS.
3.Put any of the demo DS into pictochat (if the DS is currently running a game, turn it off then hold start and turn it back on to access the DS menu)
4.Exit mingle mode and claim your pin points. Repeat as needed.
*note* Some store locations also have a DS Download Station. The first time TWEWY encounters this it registers as an alien, rather than a civvy (mine showed up as "the shining prince"). Thereafter it shows up as a civvy. As far as I can tell, it remains a civvy even after the DS Download Station is updated to a new volume (I think volume 9 is the most current).
print meNew Game +
To unlock the New Game+ beat the game once, and save your game after beating the main part of the game. Then start a new game using your old save file!
New Game+ basically lets you replay the game after you already beat it but with most of your items, skills, and anything else you've collected.
print mePig Noise
Pig Noise are a type of noise that shows up green while scanning, and they look like pigs. Defeating them can be a hassle, but they thankfully don't attack. Certain pigs require damage to be dealt only by certain pins, and some pigs need to be taken out in order. Try everything, and you should eventually figure out how to beat the pigs. They give really good drops.
print mePin Points
As all players know, Pin Points are required to level up and evolve pins. The problem is the way the PP is accumulated. There are 3 types of pp:
*Battle Pin Points (BPP)
*Shut Down Pin Points (SDPP)
*Mingle Pin Points (MPP)
These three types of PP all make up the total types of PP most pins can use. BPP is accumulated after most battles. SDPP is accumulated after shutting down the DS for an extended period of time, like for the night or over the weekend. The amount of SDPP that is received is figured out by the number of minutes that the game has not been used.
*For the first day, every 10 minutes is worth 1 SDPP
*For the second day, every 20 minutes us worth 1 SDPP
*For the third day, every 40 minutes us worth 1 SDPP
*For the fourth day, every 80 minutes us worth 1 SDPP
*For the fifth through seventh day, every 160 minutes us worth 1 SDPP
*After the seventh day, no more SDPP is possible to accumulate.
MPP is the last of the PP. MPP is accumulated after using Mingle Mode from the Phone Menu. the amount of MPP received is equal to the number of certain other people that you meet up in wireless communication:
*ESP'ers are other people that have "The World Ends With You" that are mingling. You get 50 PP for every ESP'er you meet up with.
*Civvies are Nintendo DS owners who are using the wireless functionality of a non-"The World Ends With You" game. Picto-chat is also included, but not DS Download Play. Civvies give 20 PP each.
*Aliens are apparently other forms of communication that can be reached, but is sort of hard to find. Aliens give 100 PP each.
And there you have it! A simple explanation of PP.
print mesecret ending Sequence
There's an unlockable, secret ending sequence that can be unlocked. To do so, collect each and every Secret Report in the game.
print meToo tough for you?
If the game is too tough for you in the beginning, you can switch your partner to auto play for a little while.
print meExtra Chapter
Some People may not notice, but the new "Chapter Select" Function gotten After you Erased the final boss can Go To the Chapter "Another Day".
This Has some Powerful New pins to collect, The after Story of the game, And Rhyme Becomes a partner. Also, a new Mini Game. Then, if you go back to the Reapers Room that's Placed before the final boss, You can Fight all the bosses in a Row. Then, You get 1000 PP For each Pin used, and some rare pins.
Also, It ties up some loose ends. Have fun!
*NOTE: If you play New Game+, this is Not an option if i have my facts right.
print meMingle
To mingle, you need someone with either a DS with TWEWY, or a DS doing some sort of wireless activity (not sure on wi-fi). If you have no one that has the game, but have another DS. Turn on Mingle, and make the other DS do pictochat. You should run into a civvies. Rinse, lather, and repeat! Try to get those pins that can evolve with mingle PP!
