MYSTERIOUS TRAVELLER

Guide your journey through Monster Train's Mysterious Traveller quest. Learn how to use the Trouble-Scope, find Leo Lumiere, and unlock Challenge mini-games for valuable rewards.

Alright, let's dive into the Mysterious Traveller quest in Monster Train! First things first, you'll want to head to the Control Room. There, you'll get the lowdown on the Trouble-Scope and Interlab Communication. Think of the Trouble-Scope as your ticket to Cobbleshire – use it to blast off there.

Once you arrive in Cobbleshire, you'll have a choice: fight the monsters you encounter or try to sneak past them. Just a heads-up, if you decide to take down a monster, the game will eventually spawn a new one in its place after a bit of time. Keep that in mind as you navigate!

Your first objective in town is to chat with the Mayor. He'll clue you in about a stranger. After that, make your way to the northeast part of town to track him down. This stranger is Leo Lumiere, and talking to him is pretty important. He'll give you what's called the Resources Locator. It's not a physical item, but it's your key to unlocking the Challenge mini-games. You'll see these mini-games represented by little projectors, kind of like the ones you saw on the title screen, each showing a specific icon.

Now, you'll need to play two of these mini-games. First up is the Buried Treasure, which you can find just south of Leo. It looks like a shovel. Then, head to the center of town to play the Electro-Tracer, which resembles a scribble. If you're finding the Electro-Tracer a bit tricky, try holding the Wiimote with both hands for better control.

After you've tackled those mini-games, Leo will reward you with the recipe for the C-Clamp (Arm), along with the necessary parts. It's a common pattern in Monster Train: when you get a recipe as part of a quest, it's usually a pretty solid upgrade for where you are in the game, and any ingredients you get are often rare or a bit ahead of schedule. Definitely take some time to practice the experiment using the recipe before you commit to building it, so you don't end up wasting those valuable ingredients.

Completing this quest is a big deal because it unlocks all the Resource mini-games. You'll notice that projectors which were previously dark are now lit up. Unlike the monster battles, these mini-games are designed to give you a specific type of ingredient, often with a secondary one thrown in. Just remember, once you use a projector, it'll shut itself off for a little while before it's ready to be used again.
