Cube

Cubes are rare rainbow-colored objects that give information on the mechanics of both Spectrobes and Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals. Cubes are generally found by excavating them, but a few can also be obtained through Card Input. Each cube is named after a letter in the Greek alphabet.

Role[]

Spectrobes and Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals[]

Cubes are rainbow-colored cube artifacts found buried in the ground. They have a rainbow mark when searched by a Child form. Cubes hold useful information about Spectrobes, and can be viewed either at Aldous' capsule (Spectrobes) or a cube machine (Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals). There are over 20 types of Cubes, and a few unlock special features.

In Spectrobes the Relic and Neo crystals are also listed by Aldous' capsule, below the cubes, and cubes can be excavated many times and sold for 100 Gura. Certain cubes unlock special features when obtained, and some of these require excavation in the field, and some can be obtained by Card Input.

In Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals, certain spectrobes, such as Azeko, Mossax and Zyra have enhanced cube finding powers, but their effects are unknown. Cubes can normally only be obtained once, but are occasionally found twice, and cannot be sold. The cubes from Card Input in the previous game can’t be obtained using the Spectrobes setting of the Card Input machine.

Spectrobes: Origins[]

There are two types of Cubes in Spectrobes: Origins. They are Fossil Cubes and Expansion Cubes. Expansion Cubes are either given to you by people (Radese, Kotetsu and others) or in the ground (Fire Kyptos in Fire Ruins on Bahmud). They give you more rooms in your Incubator. Fossil Cubes are found in the ground. They contain Spectrobe fossils or minerals. Instead of excavating the fossil directly when you search for it (like in the DS games), you can pick it up and excavate the fossil later. There is a maximum limit of Fossil Cubes and excavated Fossils that you can carry at a time.

The role of cubes giving information has been superseded by Lost Memos in this game.

List of Cubes[]

Spectrobes[]

Cubo-1
Number Name Info Area
01 Alpha Awakening - Awakening refers to restoring a fossilized Spectrobe to child form. The trick to awakening Spectrobes is using the right voice level for the fossil you’re trying to awaken. If a line with an arrow appears in the voice gauge, your voice must make the meter cross the line. If a bracket appears in the voice gauge, your voice must make the meter stay within the bracket. Daichi
02 Beta Training - Spectrobes must undergo training in the Lab System's incubator. Spectrobes undergo training, as well as grow, when they obtain the minergy contained in minerals. A Spectrobe's abilities and rate of growth vary based on the amount and type of minerals it is fed.
03 Gamma Leveling up - Feeding minerals to Spectrobes raises their minergy levels. The minergy gauges show these levels. When a Spectrobe’s Attack, Defense, or Health gauge max out, it will level up. Each Spectrobe has 128 levels. Daichi, Genshi
04 Delta Evolving - Evolving refers to the changes a Spectrobe undergoes as it grows from Child Form into Adult. A Spectrobe must be placed in one of the incubators and trained for a certain period of time to evolve. The exact time depends on the Spectrobe. Some need to attain a certain level, or ability to evolve. If you put two Spectrobes in the same incubator at the same time, they will become friends. Once two Spectrobes have become friends, their combo attack will become much stronger. Daichi
05 Epsilon Custom Parts - Custom parts are attachments that can be used to modify a Spectrobe's body. Attaching custom parts to a Spectrobe will also change it's name. You can only attach custom parts to Adult and Evolved Spectrobes. Genshi Zone 1
06 Zeta Evolved Form - When an Adult Spectrobe evolves, it becomes an Evolved Form Spectrobe. Spectrobes evolve through three forms: Child, Adult, and Evolved. The Evolved Form is the strongest. From Cyrus, Ziba
07 Eta Battle - You can set up to six Spectrobes in the Prizmod, two of which can emerge to fight during battle. The remaining four Spectrobes lend support to the two doing battle by lending them their strong points. You give orders to the Spectrobes during battle by pressing the L Button and the R Button. Some Spectrobes have battle command options that are shown on-screen during battle. Nessa Zone 2 & 3, Genshi
08 Theta Charge - During battle, press the A Button to charge the CH energy of the Spectrobes fighting with you. You can use the CH energy to make the Spectrobes do CH techniques, which have stronger effects. When you have enough CH energy press the Y button to display the CH command screen. Next, press the L Button or R Button to select the Spectrobe you want to do the CH technique. Nessa Zone 3 (Ruins)
09 Iota Terrain - It is important to select a terrain that matches the properties of the Spectrobe that you are training. There are terrains for each of the three Spectrobe properties: Corona, Aurora, and Flash. Selecting the proper terrain for a Spectrobe will dramatically increase it's evolution speed. Ziba Zone 3
10 Kappa Searching - Only Child Spectrobes can search for items buried in the ground. Some have wider search ranges than others, and some can find things that others can’t. Some can find fossils, some can find minerals and some can find items with other special properties. Nessa Zone 3 (Ruins)
11 Lambda Properties - Each Spectrobe has one of three properties: Corona, Aurora, or Flash. Corona is stronger than Aurora. Aurora is stronger than Flash. And Flash is stronger than Corona.
12 Mu Combos - Two Spectrobes can use CH energy to combine forces and launch a spectacular combo attack! Two Spectrobes trained in the same incubator have even stronger combo attacks! When you have enough CH energy saved, press the Y Button to display the CH command screen. Next, press the L Button and the R Button at the same time and the Spectrobes will do a combo attack. Nessa Zone 2
13 Nu Partnering - A key to fighting with Spectrobes is effectively partnering with them to create the strongest attacks. Try to lure an enemy directly in front of a Spectrobe and then attack with a powerful technique. Charge up your CH gauge and use a powerful CH tech or combo attack for the best results! Nessa Zone 3
14 Xi Types - There are 22 types of Spectrobes. Each has Child, Adult, and Evolved Forms. Each of these forms has three color variations. Each Adult and Evolved Form has two types of custom parts. Himuro
15 Omicron Support - The four Spectrobes that remain in the Prizmod during battle are called Support Spectrobes. There are four types of support. They are ATK, DEF, Speed, and CH Speed. Make sure to consider the abilities of the Support Spectrobes when setting Spectrobes in the Prizmod.
16 Pi Special Minerals - There are some minerals called special minerals that cause unique things to happen to Spectrobes. For example, there is a mineral called the Evolve Mineral, that can instantly evolve any Spectrobe. There are also three types of Chroma Minerals, which can change the colors of a Spectrobe.
17 Rho Color Awakening - Color awakening refers to altering a Spectrobe's color by changing your voice when you awaken it. Check the color on the voice meter and adjust the level of your voice to match the color you want. You can switch between normal and color awakening modes. Ziba Zone 3
18 Sigma DS Wireless Play - This cube allows you to use the DS Wireless Play feature of your Nintendo DS. To engage this feature, face the machine to the left of Aldous' capsule and press the A Button. This will allow you to exchange Spectrobes and items with friends, and have DS wireless play battles! Genshi Zone 1
19 Tau Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection - This cube allows you to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection feature of your Nintendo DS. To engage this feature face the machine to the right of Aldous' capsule and press the A button. You can use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to download Spectrobes and custom parts. Nessa Zone 3
20 Upsilon Card Input - This cube allows you to run the card input system on your Nintendo DS. To engage it, face the card machine to the left of Aldous' capsule and press the A Button. You can use it to input codes from cards that you have. Kollin
N/A Relic Crystal Ultimate Form - An Ultimate Form Spectrobe can not be attained by merely evolving an Evolved Spectrobe. The power is so awesome that it was locked away, inside a red stone called the Flame Geo. The Flame Geo slumbers deep in a red spring atop the highest mountain of the innermost planet. The Relic Crystal must be taken to the spring to unlock the powers, stored within the Flame Geo. Himuro (Story)
N/A Neo Crystal Ultimate Info - There are seven geos representing seven Ultimate Form Spectrobes. They are scattered about Nanairo. The Ultimate Spectrobes are known as Tindra, Zorna, Fulvina, Larrup, Voltron, Artezza, and Shulla. Those who seek the Ultimate Form Spectrobes must locate the Great Black Hole and acquire the geos. Meido (Story)

Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals[]

  • Alpha (α): Combos - Press the A Button to have a Spectrobe perform a normal attack. Some Spectrobes can pull off two or three attacks if you continue to press the A Button. Do this to quickly deal massive damage. Note that this is not possible with all types of attacks.
  • Beta (β): Combination - Two Spectrobes can use CH energy to join forces and launch a spectacular Combination Attack! When you have enough CH energy saved up, press the Y button to unleash of Combination Attack. These attacks will differ depending on the Spectrobes' properties and their evolutionary state.
  • Gamma (γ): CH Attack - The CH guage fills up with energy when you use normal attacks during an encounter battle. Press the B Button to unleash a Charge Attack once you have filled the CH guage with enough energy. Each Spectrobe has a powerful Charge Attack, so try them out!
  • Delta (δ): Team - A team is a pair of Spectrobes that are well suited to each other because of their properties, etc. When you have such Spectrobes fight together, they can unleash Combination Attacks as a team. Try various combinations of Spectrobes to find which ones work the best together!
  • Epsilon (ε): Recovery Orb - Sometimes when you defeat Krawl Dust, an orb of energy will appear. These are recovery orbs. Grab them to recover HP. There are two types of recovery orbs; green ones heal Rallen and blue ones heal the Spectrobes.
  • Zeta (ζ): Searching - Only Child Form Spectrobes have the ability to find fossils and minerals. The search range and type of item that they can find differs depending on their type. If you can't find the items you are looking for with the current Child Form Spectrobe that you have with you...return to the Lab System, and choose a different Child Form Spectrobe.
  • Eta (η): Excavation - When with a Child Form Spectrobe press the Y Button to have it scan the ground for fossils and minerals. A symbol will appear if something is buried within its search radius. Touch it to begin excavation. The color of the symbol shows what kind of item is buried. Fossils are yellow, minerals are blue, mystery stones are purple, and cubes are the color of the rainbow. Note that Child Form Spectrobes will hide in the Prizmod when there are enemies nearby. Searching is not possible while the Child Form Spectrobe is hiding.
  • Theta (θ): Secret Doors - Secret doors are hidden on certain map walls. Only Child Form Spectrobes can find them. A hexagon symbol appears when there is a secret door within the search range. Note that secret doors are sealed by one of the three properties. You'll need a Child Form Spectrobe of the opposing property in order to get through them.
  • Iota (ι): Custom Parts - Custom Parts can be attached to Spectrobes using the Lab System in the patrol cruiser. Some parts increase a Spectrobe's attack and others increase defense. The name of the Spectrobe will change depending on what Custom Part you have equipped on it. Note that Child Form Spectrobes and a few particular Spectrobes cannot use Custom Parts. You can find Custom Parts by excavating Mystery Stones.
  • Kappa (κ): Evolution 1 - A Child Form Spectrobe can evolve into Adult Form after it has consumed the required number of minerals. Check the requirements for evolution by veiwing a Spectrobe close up in the incubator. A glow also appears around its body when it is ready to evolve. Touch it while in close-up mode to evolve it. You can only evolve Spectrobes when using the Lab System.
  • Lambda (λ): Evolution 2 - An Adult Form Spectrobe can evolve into an Evolved Form after it has reached the required level, has fought the required number of battles, and consumed the required number of minerals. Check the requirements for evolution by viewing a Spectrobe close up in the Incubator. A glow also appears around its body when it is ready to evolve. Touch it while in close-up mode to evolve it. You can only evolve Spectrobes when using the Lab System.
  • Mu (μ): Room Access - Open the Prizmod menu and select Room Access to view the Incubator. You can use this function to keep an eye on your Spectrobes when you're out in the field. You can also feed minerals to them using Room Access so you can train new Spectrobes anywhere, anytime. Train a lot of Spectrobes and find your favourite one! Note that you cannot add or remove Spectrobes from Incubator Rooms using the Prizmod's Room Access.
  • Nu (ν): Full Stomach - There are times where a Spectrobe will not eat minerals that you try to feed it. This means that the Spectrobe is full and that it's eaten as many minerals as it can. Just concentrate on your missions and check back every now and then to see if the Spectrobe is hungry.
  • Xi (ξ): Custom Color - Child Spectrobes are awakened from their fossilized state by the power of your voice. Child Spectrobes have complex DNA that allows them to be different colors when they awaken. The color a Child Form Spectrobe will be depends on the strength and timing of your voice. Practice makes perfect! Try using different voices and see what colors you can awaken them as!
  • Omicron (ο): Quick Evolve - There are special types of minerals that can instantly satisfy one of the evolution requirements. One instantly satisfies the level required for evolution. Another instantly satisfies the number of minerals required. The other instantly satisfies the number of battles required.
  • Pi (π): Color Change - Some minerals can be used to alter a Spectrobe's color, similar to how you can when awakening a fossil. Such color changes can be performed anytime, regardless of the Spectrobe's level. In order to do this, feed the special mineral to the Spectrobe from the Incubator.
  • Rho (ρ): Battle Styles - Spectrobes have four basic battle styles: Melee, ramming, ranged, and area of effect. Melee involves attacking enemies close up. Ramming involves running into the enemy. Ranged involves striking enemies at a distance. Area of effect involves damaging surrounding enemies. The surest way of victory is to select Spectrobes according to the enemies you will face.
  • Sigma (σ): Properties - All Spectrobes and Krawl have one of three properties: Corona, Aurora, or Flash. Corona is strong against Aurora, Aurora is strong against Flash, and Flash is strong against Corona. Remember this and your battles will become much easier and you can enter secret doors on certain maps. You can tell the property of a Spectrobe or Krawl by its body color. Corona is a reddish flame-like color, Flash is a bluish water-like color, and Aurora is a green plant-like color. The surest way to victory is to select Spectrobes according to the properties of the enemies.
  • Tau (τ): Glove Attack - During field battles with Rallen, you can use a glove attack to stun the nearby enemies. Once stunned, you can hit them with consecutive attacks with your sword to deal massive damage. The area of attack and the duration an enemy will be stunned is different depending on the glove you're using.
  • Upsilon (υ): Crowns 1 - When you excavate a fossil within 60 seconds and at 100% without damaging it, a crown mark will be added to it. Crowns will not, however, be added to minerals, cubes, or mystery stones.
  • Phi (φ): Crowns 2 - When you awaken a fossil that has a crown mark, the Child Form Spectrobe starts ready to evolve to Adult Form. This means you should try as hard as possible to keep from damaging fossils during excavation.
  • Chi (χ): Tools - There are times where you will need to excavate in sand, ice, lava, mud, and even underwater. This requires special tools for the location in question. Sand has to be cleared away, ice melted, lava cooled, mud removed, and water kept clear while excavating. Collecting and mastering various tools is the key to excavation.
  • Psi (ψ): Incubator - It is important to select terrain that matches the properties of the Spectrobe you are training. There is terrain for each of the three Spectrobe properties: Corona, Aurora and Flash. Selecting the proper terrain for a Spectrobe will dramatically increase its evolution speed. There is also reportedly a way to add a room to the Incubator that supports all three properties.
  • Omega (ω): Minerals - Pay attention to properties when feeding minerals to Spectrobes. They will grow faster when you feed them minerals with the same property as they have.
  • Sampi: Geos - There are Spectrobes known as Ultimate Forms lurking in the deep reaches of space. Ultimate Forms surpass ordinary Spectrobes in every way possible. You cannot create one through evolution. It seems that these Ultimate Forms are sealed away in items known as Geos.
  • Hexa: Spectrobe Master - Not everyone can become a Spectrobe Master. It requires someone with special powers. Only a Spectrobe Master can awaken fossils, and fight evil using the Spectrobes. The top Spectrobe Masters are extremely powerful individuals.
  • Hepta: Card Input - The Card Input Machine has been upgraded! You can now enter card codes from the first Spectrobes game as well! At the Card Input System menu, touch the logo that matches the logo on the card you wish to input.
  • Octa: Wireless - DS Wireless Play feature unlocked! You can now trade Spectrobes and join DS Wireless Play battles using the Spectrobes you've trained. Select Multiplayer at the title screen, and then DS Wireless Play.
