2. Introduction [02A1]
===============================================================================
The debut of Nintendo's WiiWare marked the beginning of a very bright future
for both large and small game developers alike. Developers now have greater
power in being able to experiment with various gameplay elements with minimal
risk should the game prove unsuccessful. We, the consumer, are also given more
control of the video game industry by letting developers know exactly which
experimental gameplay elements are good and which are bad, in hopes of seeing
these aspects of gameplay evolve into even better, more sophisticated features
that may, perhaps, be found on larger titles in the near future.
With that said, Frontier, a U.K.-based game developer, brought us a cute little
game with a slightly different type of control. While the sights are nice and
serene and the story relaxing, the gameplay is what truly shines in this game.
This game is known as LostWinds.
LostWinds has much to offer in its short span of game time. I would have never
expected it to be as good as it is, and I am glad to have purchased this
unique and interesting title for WiiWare.
One of the minor features of LostWinds is collecting shiny relics called
Melodia Idols. These Melodia Idols are scattered throughout the places you
explore. They serve no real purpose other than for completionists who like to
explore all the areas to their fullest. Nonetheless, this is a guide that will
fill you in on where to find each and every Melodia Idol so that your data is
that much more complete. Without further ado, here-in lies the information you
seek. Please enjoy my very first guide written for all the fans of LostWinds!

The following guide reveals the location of each and every Melodia Idol and
essentially how to obtain them in sequential order. They are further kept track
of by distinct location and ulimately by memory chests.
=-=-=-=-
Before Memory Chest One
-=-=-=-=
----
Wither Falls
----
1. After increasing Enril's strength, lift Toku onto the ledge on the left side
of the room. You will spot a Melodia Idol.
2. After exiting the room where you increase Enril's strength, head right to
the narrow ledge just past the fruit. A Melodia Idol sits on top of the ledge.
----
The Village
----
3. In the left area of the Village, just outside of Wither Falls, climb the
trees by using the nests until you reach a Poyak. Use the Poyak and gust Toku
to the ledge on the right to find a Melodia Idol.
----
Wither Falls
----
4. At the far left Wither Falls, use the Poyak and gust Toku onto a surface
where a lock can be found. Pull on it to open the circular stone door below
that gives way to a Melodia Idol.
----
Shrine of the Meandering Wind
----
5. After receiving the power of Slipstream, pick up the Heli-Bud on the left
side of the room after burning down the wooden barrier with the torch, and draw
a slipstream path up towards the middle of the ceiling. Continue up and into
another part of the room where a Melodia Idol sits behind a wooden barrier.
Burn it down with the torch in the back area to retrieve the Melodia Idol.
----
Wither Falls
----
6. At the very top of the giant grotto where Toku had fallen to discover Enril,
pick up the Heli-Bud and draw a slipstream path to the other side of the gap
where you will find a Melodia Idol.
----
The Village
----
7. East of the great windmill in the Hilltop Village (the district immediately
east of the area where Deo is located), pick up the Heli-Bud and draw a slip-
stream up and to the right. You will spot a Melodia Idol sitting on a platform.
8. At the top left of the east district of the Village, gust Toku up onto the
stone platform above the waterfall in the background. A Melodia Idol sits
contently upon the platform.
----
The Cave
----
9. Drop to the bottom of the cave that leads to the Chamber of Memories, and
locate the mushroom near the base. You will find a well-hidden Melodia Idol to
the right of the mushroom and behind a small patch of mushrooms in the fore-
ground.
----
Chamber of Memories
----
10. To the left of the statue of Deo, you will spot a Melodia Idol sitting on
the ground.

After Memory Chest One
-=-=-=-=
----
The Old Mines
----
11. After receiving the power of Vortex, follow the mine to the left until you
come upon a fruit bathed in light. A Melodia Idol lies on the ground in the
light.
12. In the large area of the mine, located the only wooden barrier. Burn it
using the torch in the room behind it to give way to a Melodia Idol.
13. In the large area of the mine, gust the Wind Stone to the very top where a
crystal barrier blocks a path to the left. Use the power of vortex on the Wind
Stone to break the crystal barrier and create a path to an enclosed room in
the Vortex Shrine. A Melodia Idol is all that is found in this room.
14. In the main entrance to the mine is a room blocked off by two crystal
barriers. Use the Wind Stone located inside the room to break the barriers and
retrieve the Melodia Idol inside.
~This guide is intended for publication on G-a-m-e-F-A-Q-s only.~
15. In the area beyond the crystal gate, use the Kalarab near the entrance to
break the wooden gate at the bottom of the area. Then, retrieve the boulder on
a platform above, bring it through the wooden gate and place it on one of the
two pressure pads. Take the fruit and place it on the other to open both
ceiling gates. Gust Toku up and around to the other room where a Poyak is, as
well as a Melodia Idol in the corner.
16. In the area with running water, retrieve the Heli-Bud seed located at the
bottom right. Bring it back to the entrance of the area and plant it. Then, use
the power of slipstream to draw a path as far up as you can. At the top on a
rail platform is a Melodia Idol.
17. In a small space above the pressure pad just before the only circular stone
door rests a Melodia Idol. This is the same area where the second memory chest
is located.

After Memory Chest Two
-=-=-=-=
----
The Village
----
18. Upon receiving the Jumbrella Cape, glide Toku onto a cliff above the house
where Deo is located. You will find a Melodia Idol here.
----
Wither Falls
----
19. In the cave area directly west of where Toku was resting under a tree, drop
to the bottom where you will find a wooden gate. Break the wooden gate using
the boulder in the vicinity and the power of vortex to find a Melodia Idol
behind it.
20. At the top right of the same area where Toku was resting under a tree, use
the Jumbrella Cape to glide Toku above the torch where a Melodia Idol sits on
the steep mountainside.
21. At the top left of the main area of Wither Falls is a Melodia Idol. To get
it, break the brittle rock surface below using the boulder in the same room.
Then, use the mushroom below it to bounce Toku up into the room to retrieve the
Melodia Idol.
22. In the same area where the memory chest is located, use the Jumbrella Cape
to glide Toku up against the cliff to the right. You will spot a Melodia Idol
on the side of the cliff near the peak of the cape's power, so it may be
slightly difficult to obtain.

After Memory Chest Three
-=-=-=-=
----
The Abandoned Village
----
23. Near the entrance of the Abandoned Village, in a small space under the
Heli-Bud is a Melodia Idol sitting near harmful roots.
24. In the same area where the memory chest is located, place a boulder on the
pressure pads at the bottom right of the area to open the stone door above.
Behind this door lies a Melodia Idol in the corner of the room.

Idols that are to be found within each.
