hi i have to thank you lisa i was in a real trap like a bird in a net, speaking of wich 1. how do i get phoenix spirit stone instead of scanning a cd? 2. where are they? 3. whats the honest likelyhood of me finding one? 4. what monsters have nthe neccecary search abilities? and finally 5. what are those watery, rocky, stony, or magmalike columbs there an oddity so frustratingly/enigmaticly mysterious its a pain in my postirior

Getting the stones is random, so it's hard to say, just keep trying. That said, remember that some public libraries lend out CDs and DVDs and you might be able to find a good monster that way.

There are a number of obstacle types, you need different monster with different abilities to be able to access everything. One type can't do it all.
