When you first start
Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, you'll need to take a picture just to identify your save file. Since I wasn't prepared for a picture, my dog was my save pic. It doesn't change anything in the game, though; it is solely to identify your game save. Red is the fighter that you will be playing as and his sister, Chocolat, is the pilot and money manager (since Red is a bit reckless).Your first job as Red is to get a file off of a Hindenburg, which means that you start off making enemies of the Kurvaz guild, as it is their ship. Red fails to get the file because it burned up, but he does save a mystery kid named Elh that he finds passed out on the ship. He also saved a mysterious medallion. The next day, Elh tells Red that he must have activated the medallion, so Elh is going to have to stay with him. Elh wants to pay Red 1 billion credits after completion to help seal the evil Lares away before he destroys the world.
Since Red doesn't get paid for the first job because the file burned up, he has to go to the quest broker to find some jobs that will pay him enough to at least get fuel. Flo is the quest broker. You can see all the quests available in all locations and it will show you which location you need to go to for another quest, which is really handy! At the end of every level, you'll usually unlock new quests on the previous locations. You have to complete a quest after you take it. They aren't things that you take and complete at your leisure, but since the quests really don't take that long, there's no reason to put them off. The red dots on the right of the quests are how many hunter experience points you get. The rank you need to be to take the quest is on the left under the quest title. You might be wondering how Red can take on some of these tasks, but Dahak makes a lot of it possible. Dahak is the robot that you can customize. Customizations are not permanent. You can move pieces around at any time and buy more area to add pieces with the P Crystals that you collect around the areas. Dahak can even fly when it is called for! You can't search areas for P Crystals or other items on Dahak though, so you'll have to get off of it to search places.
This search for the pieces to seal Lares away is going to include continually fighting to try and keep things out of the hands of the Kurvaz, earning money to keep on going, and saving people as well. Red will meet various people along the way like Princess Theria and her bodyguard, Cyan, at the battle arena. Cyan wants Red to be his apprentice. In Spinion, Amelia steals the Crystal Stone Key from her grandfather, the Mayor, to keep it out of the hands of the hands of the Kurvaz Guild. The leader of the Kurvaz guild, Bruno, shows up and demands it or else. Lady Opera is his right hand man. She and her underlings are going to make life difficult for Red and company. Quyene hires Red to find a memory book for him, but then gives the book to Red. You can access it in the Cabin under Library. There's lots of useful information in there. Red is going to need some of it to complete the task at hand!
