WALKTHROUGH OF AQUAMARINE BAY
(WARNING! READ ONLY IFSTUCK)
The Vitalit Crystals
There are five Vitalit Crystals in Aquamarine Bay. The first is revealed when you win the game of Fish
Fetch, as previously described. The second is easy to find; it is located under the archway that is just
west of the “road” near the middle of the bay. The third is just above the surface of the water, under
some palm trees on the East Side of the northernmost spire. The fourth and fifth Vitalit Crystals are
very difficult to acquire; precise aim will help. One of them is on top of the other spire, and one is
floating at the surface in the waterfall’s rough current. The easiest way to obtain them is to have Ecco
hover right below the water surface and charge in the direction of the crystals.
The Whale and Her Baby
The final task in Aquamarine Bay involves the large mother whale and her baby. Go talk to both of
them, using your sonar. Then go back toward the Instructor. As you approach him, the Foe finally
breaks through the Guardian’s shield, shattering the Guardian and causing an undersea earthquake.
Near the rock outcropping the Instructor is swimming around, you will find a messenger crystal from
the Guardian. Ping it with your sonar and it will tell you that the Guardian needs your help; but first,
you must rescue the baby whale from the danger it is in. Go talk to the mother whale; she will tell you
that she can hear her baby’s cries, but that it is nowhere in sight. Swim directly west from the mother
whale; you will discover some fallen rocks along the Western Wall. Within a cavern formed by these
rocks is the baby. Ping it with your sonar, then swim back toward the Coach. Ping one of the player
dolphins, and they will agree to help you with the rescue. Swim back to where the baby is trapped, and
a cutscene will show you and the other dolphins nosing a rock out of the way. The baby will be freed.
Once you talk to the mother whale after freeing her baby, she will block the waterfall with her
immense body, and you can exit Aquamarine Bay.
