Mario and Luigi: Brothership – Arc’s Secret Side Quest Guide

by

As a seasoned gamer who has traversed countless virtual worlds and tackled more side quests than I care to remember, I must say that the Where To Find Arc’s Spyglass side quest in Mario and Luigi: Brothership is a delightful addition to the game. The time-sensitive nature of this quest adds an extra layer of urgency that keeps you on your toes, making it all the more satisfying when you finally manage to complete it.

As a dedicated fan, I’ve found that in the thrilling adventure of Mario & Luigi: Brothership, side missions become accessible once you link together the initial islands and manage to free Arc from his container on the seashore. Some of these side quests come with a countdown, so it’s essential for players like me to wrap them up swiftly before diving back into the main storyline, or risk losing them forever.

One of the initial side missions you’ll encounter is “Where To Find Arc’s Spyglass,” and though it isn’t strictly urgent, it’s advisable to complete it promptly due to its early game usefulness. The reward for this quest is quite valuable, so it’s better to tackle it straight away if you can.

Where To Find Arc’s Spyglass In Mario and Luigi: Brothership

The only hint Arc has for the brothers is that the Spyglass was lost on Raynforst Island. If this is your first time revisiting the island, you can also take the time to collect all the Sprite Bulbs on the island. To find the Spyglass, you’ll need to ask around with the locals, with the correct person to ask is in the second section of the island right in front of the two sets of flowers.

Go towards the group of flowers on the left side, step over them, and proceed climbing the hill until you spot a couple of locals chattering about the Invisible Lizard, hinting it seems to be protecting something. Remember to refill your Health Points (HP) and Battle Points (BP) before moving closer, as you’ll encounter five level 8 Invisible Lizards once you approach them.

How To Beat The Invizilizards

The main trick to this fight is using Luigi’s Green Shell, as it’s able to hit multiple enemies both during the wind-up and with the resulting main attack, you’ll just need to make sure you press all the right buttons to make it go through. Invizilizards have two attacks, the tongue attack or the one where they march forward while invisible. While both can be countered by jumping on them, the invisible attack is much easier to land as there are more frames where the Invizilizard is below the brothers, so watch for that attack and take advantage of it when you can.

Following your victory against the Invizilards, you will obtain Arc’s Spyglass. You’ll then have the opportunity to bring it back to them on Shapeshift Island.

Reward For Arc’s Secret Side Quest In Mario and Luigi: Brothership

The reward for this quest is the Arc Scope accessory.

  • +2 Speed
  • +15% EXP earned in battle if you take no damage.

Starting the level-up process quickly might still require some patience as battles aren’t particularly tough, but using this accessory can accelerate it significantly, especially when overpowering weaker adversaries that won’t inflict damage on you. Keep in mind that not taking damage is a prerequisite for activating this item, which can be achieved by dodging or counterattacking enemy strikes, both of which are relatively straightforward against the early game enemies. Although it uses an accessory slot, you can acquire an additional one for both characters quite early in the game.
