Patapon: How to get Rain Miracle Guide

Are you stuck at the Desert mission in Patapon? Having difficulty in crossing the blazing burning hot desert that will cook your patapons alive?

In order to cross the Desert, you will need to be able to perform “Rain Miracle”.

Firstly, you need to get a key item called “Rain Miracle” from the Patata Plain, where you hunt for food for your patapons.

You will need to get close (about 1 marching pace away from the “Chaka Pon Chaka Pon” totem and perform “chaka, pon, chaka, pon” rhythm until the totem stands up revealing its root, then you continue the rhythm.

Here is a Youtube video on how to get your “Rain Miracle”:

You will have a new map after you get your “Rain Miracle”, and you will need to kill a boss to get the “Don Drum”.It’s a tough boss as it eats your Tatepons, so be careful.

Razer Lachesis “Cursor Drift and Axis Lock” fix (beta)

If you are an owner of the “Bringer of Slient Death”, the top of the line Razer Mice, Lachesis, you might encounter 2 issues while using it.

  1. Cursor Drift: While you are moving your mouse, suddenly the cursor ‘drift’ to somewhere else on the screen. Irritating when you are playing FPS game.
  2. Axis Lock: While moving your mouse, you can’t move it up or down, but the cursor can move horizontally, or vice versa. Also very irritating.

I also own a Lachesis and living with the problems ever since Day 1.

The original firmware that came with your mouse is v1.00, which is the buggy one.

Now, Razer has beta firmware for Lachesis and I have tested it. So far, the ‘drifting’ and ‘locking’ have not been occuring. The firmware update is a breeze. You just have to replug your Lachesis after the firmware update is done.

Razer Lachesis 1.64 beta Firmware

You can try out the beta firmware from the Razer website to solve these problems. I guess the official firmware should be around the corner… Stay tune!
