Cactus Diaries
From the Wiki of Mana, the Mana encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
Cactus Diaries is an in-game book in Legend of Mana similar to the Li'l Cactus's Diary in Sword of Mana. It is written on some leaves hanging in the upstairs bedroom at Home. Speaking to Li'l Cactus after completing a mission and then leaving the room will cause him to rush to his leaves and write down his observations. To fully complete the book, the player must speak to him after each mission.
