Strap Hunter / Strap Gunman Guide

Strap Hunter was the second release of Treasure Gaust in Japan, released in late 2006. The game functions identically to the first one, but the game has cool figures that have a chip attached to them, these figures are called Gaust Strap, and unlock you that Gaust as a Partner, but also these partners are special in that they can search for exclusive Gaust that others cannot find through searching. Now the main issue here is that there's 19 of these things. Each figure with the exception of Dark Gilgadran unlocks 5 Gaust. That means there are 94 Gaust exclusive to these damn things. Getting all of the figures is a challenge, and they aren't super readily available. I can give some tips to slightly circumvent this, but just know that getting a full index of 171 (Strap Hunter) or 225 (Strap Gunman) is a REAL challenge. This game has plenty of obstacles for you. Timed Searching, a gratuitous amount of passwords, and the removal of the lure system means this is not the same beast as Dimension Rod.

There are some things you will need to know beforehand, firstly, The Strap series has no lures. The system has been replaced with the search system. You can sent a Gaust from your E-case out to search for other Gaust. To do this, simply enter your E-case and spam the circle button. When your Gaust starts travelling across the screen it is searching, and it will find a Gaust in about the same time it takes a lure to work in Dimension Rod.

There are some factors that influence what Gaust your partner will find however, the first of which is your Gaust's Level. When a Gaust is at level 1, it will find poor quality Gaust, at 2 it will find middling quality, and at 3 it will be maxed and able to find the best quality and most variety. The second thing is your Gaust's Planetary Alignment. Every Gaust has an alignment, consisting of one of Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Gaust can only search for Gaust of the same planetary alignment. For example, if I send out a Prima Pearl, it can only find Sun Gaust. Planetary alignments are listed in the list below next to every Gaust. As a general rule as well, Pluto is a special alignment and will usually not find anything when they search, although there are some exceptions to this rule you'll see in the list. And finally, the third thing is that Strap Gaust will find unique Gaust as previously mentioned, so searching with them is less effective unless you want those exclusive Gaust.

The fusion system was added to this game as well. This service can be found in Gamel's shop, and allows you to fuse two Gaust together from your E-case. This system is very similar to how the Persona games handle fusion, and there are MANY combinations. However some Gaust are exclusive to fusions, and some otherwise rare Gaust are made much easier to find through this system. Those will be listed in the list so don't worry.

This game also has the Gaust Point system, or GP. In addition to your TP (Treasure Points) which help you to level up, there is the GP system. Your GP increases when you capture a new Gaust and register it to the Library. This is important as Gamel will sell you special items when your GP gets to a certain level. These attract special Gaust, so raising this stat is important. Again, this will be in the list.

The Strap Gunman added more Gaust to the game, and is essentially a expanded version of Strap Hunter. Just so you know, there are 171 Gaust in the original release, and 225 in Strap Gunman. All Gaust after 171 are EXCLUSIVE to Strap Gunman, so remember that. There is a break in the list to denote this.

And Finally, this game is compatible with the Dimension Rod. You can still perform Battles with the Dimension Rod by selecting the Vs. D option in VS. This is fantastic, as many of the Gaust return from the first game, but have been made hard to obtain or exclusive to Strap Figures. By connecting to Dimension Rod, you can circumvent some of these entries.

Anyway, the way this list is going to work is that because there are so many Gaust in this game, I cannot list the appearance time for them all. However, I have the GT Codes for every Gaust so if there's a particular Gaust you're struggling to find, put that code into the Strap Hunter in the Library section and that will give you all the info you need. I will be only giving extra information for Gaust with special requirements. The key is as follows:

(D) - Can be obtained from Dimension Rod (S-##) - Exclusive to the Strap Figure No. ## (F) - Can be created through fusion easier than normal appearance requirements (!) - Has a more detailed special requirement. See Gaust Notes.
