'''Area Hints''' ({{j|エリアの攻略|Eria no Kōryaku|Area Strategy}}) is a category from the [[Exploration Notes]] menu in {{p3}}. It holds ten [[Data File]]s with special tips for each [[area]] of [[PNF-404]]. The files are written from [[Captain Olimar]]'s point of view, and are scattered around the map and sometimes hidden. For each area in the game, there are two Area Hint Data Files to go with it.
{{todo|Use appropriate text coloring. Make it look like [[Olimar's Voyage Log]].}}


All of these have the text "– Captain Olimar" on a stripe at the bottom.

==Data Files==
===A legacy of the past===
''<span style="font-size:13px;line-height:21px;">"We discovered the remains of what appears to be an underwater structure. Perhaps we can restore it so that we may cross to the opposite shore. Louie is here, but we would still need someone else's help to do this..."</span>''
 ''-Captain Olimar''
 
*Area: Garden of Hope
 
*Location: Once Louie escapes, go in the opposite direction to the Blue Onion. You will find it on a buried pot next to a Flukeweed. 
 
===Closed Path===
''"In a dark place where I could barely see my own feet, I discovered a familiar plant. If I recall correctly, they're called Bloominous Stemples, and they bloom under a strong light. Is there anything nearby capable of generating such a light?"'' -Captain Olimar
 
*Area: Formiddable Oak
 
*Location: Right near the Bloominous Stemples in the cave after the 1st Arachnode. 
 
===Great partner===
 
''"It seems like two people working together could use this mushroom to reach the other side. But for some reason, Louie and I just can't get our acts together. I wish I had a more reliable partner. Sigh... I wonder how my wife is doing back on Hocotate." ''-Captain Olimar
 
*Area: Twilight River
 
*Location: Right outside the Burrowing Snagret's arena, near a Lilly Pad and an Electric Gate. 
 
===Parting gift===
 
''"We've found a snow sculpture in this frozen tundra. It looks like the face of a middle-aged man--one that I know all too well. The more I look at it, the more I think it looks like the president of Hocotate Freight. Especially that nose..." ''-Captain Olimar
 
*Area: Distant Tundra
 
*Location: Near the Arctic Cannon Larva on the highest portion of the hill. Either carefully walk down to it or throw a leader on the short ledge it is located on. 
 
===Shortcut===
''"If I can break down this wall, I'll be able to cut through this labyrinth and save myself some time. I wonder if there are any Bomb Rocks around..."'' -Captain Olimar
 
*Area: Formidable Oak


==Data files==
*Location: Behind the Reinforced Wall at the beginning of the cave. You can either use Bomb Rocks, or destroy the Crystal Nodule past the first Arachnode. If you take option 2, make sure you have Bomb Rocks, or else the Mysterious Life-Form will trap you. 
===With one more person...===

*'''US text''': "''We're picking up a strong signal, but we can't seem to actually reach it. If we had a third party, we might be able to, but I just got an out-of-office message from the boss. He probably doesn't get much reception at the beach. We're kind of on a beach, too... but it's not quite the same.''"
*'''Europe text''': "''We're picking up a strong signal, but we can't seem to actually reach it. If we had a third party, we might be able to but I just got an out of office message from the boss.

*'''US text''': "''Quite the discovery! If only I had a little more help other than Louie to get this mechanism going! I really wish the boss would answer us.
