Neopets Petpet Adventures: The Wand of Wishing Walkthrough

You can find a wand of wishing walkthrough posted by community guide sites ^[1], and this article takes you through the game's quests and puzzles in order.

The Wand of Wishing is a PSP game with an initial release date of March 14, 2006 ^[2]. It sends you on a series of adventures in Petaria to find the Wand of Wishing ^[3]. Knowing that goal helps you see why each quest matters, so you can follow the story without feeling lost.

This article covers the adventures at a relaxed pace, so you can take each one a step at a time. Keep it open beside the game and move on when you feel ready.

What the game asks you to do

The game asks you to become the savior of Petaria. You battle through a series of adventures that lead to the secret of the fabled Wand of Wishing ^[3]. Each adventure moves you one step closer, so you never have to solve everything at once.

One adventure at a time

Think of the game as a chain of separate adventures rather than one long map. You finish one, then head into the next. The Wand is the destination at the end of that chain, so every adventure you complete is a piece of the route to it.

Because the story is built this way, you can treat each adventure as its own play session. Play one, stop, and come back later without losing the thread of the story.

The places you visit

The adventures take you through dark caverns and spooky places ^[3]. That gives the game a different mood from a bright, open world. Expect tight passages, shadowy rooms, and an eerie feel as you move deeper toward the Wand.

Some players enjoy that change of pace, while others find it less relaxing. Knowing the setting ahead of time helps you decide how long to play in one sitting.

Keeping track of your progress

Because the adventures are separate, it is easy to lose your place. Keep a short note that lists the adventure you just finished and where you stopped. A note on your phone works fine, or a sheet of paper next to your console.

When you come back, open the note and start at the next adventure instead of replaying finished ones. That saves time and keeps the story moving in the right order.

How do you get Petpetpets?

You get a Petpetpet by feeding it a specified food and then picking it up after it has eaten. ^[4] That is the whole method, and it comes down to three steps you do in order. Each one sets up the next, so you can't skip ahead and still end up with the Petpetpet. Related reading: Doraemon: Nobita and the Three Fairy Spirit Stones Walkthrough.

The three steps

1. Feed the Petpetpet the specified food. Use the food the method calls for, not a similar item from your inventory. The method depends on that specific food, so use the one it names. ^[4]
2. Wait for it to eat. Give the Petpetpet time to finish the food before you do anything else. The method is to pick it up after it has eaten, so the wait is part of the method. ^[4]
3. Pick it up. Once the Petpetpet has eaten, pick it up. That is how you get it. ^[4]

Collecting more than one

If you want several Petpetpets, finish all three steps for one before you start the next. Working one at a time keeps the foods straight, so you don't feed the wrong one when you switch back and forth.

Suppose you feed three Petpetpets in a row and then go back for the pickups. You'll lose track of which one ate what, so finishing each one first is simpler.

Why the order matters

Feeding and waiting are the steps people tend to rush. Picking the Petpetpet up before it has eaten skips the step the method is built around. ^[4]

For example, if you grab a Petpetpet right after you feed it, the job may look finished, but you've already broken the method. Taking an extra moment for those two steps keeps the rest simple.

Keep the sequence

When you get stuck on collecting, come back to these three steps and run them in order. Each Petpetpet follows the same pattern, so once you've done one, the rest go the same way.

Where can you find a full walkthrough?

If you want the full route through the game, community guide sites are the place to look. Two sites cover Petpet Adventures: The Wand of Wishing in useful ways, and they suit different needs.

Neoseeker

Neoseeker has a dedicated page for the game that collects its FAQs and guides in one place ^[1]. If you want a complete walkthrough, start with the guides on that page and pick the one that covers the part of the game you are stuck on.

Neoseeker's guides are useful when you need step-by-step help on a specific stretch of play. Read the guide's opening notes first, so you know which section it covers before you follow its steps.

Jellyneo

Jellyneo's Neopets help page covers the game in its database ^[5]. The Wand of Wishing is a game for the Playstation Portable (PSP), and the page gives you a reference entry for the title. Use it to check the game's basics before you dive into a walkthrough.

The Jellyneo page is a better starting point for reference than for a step-by-step route. If you only need a quick answer about the game, it can get you there faster than a full guide.

Check the date before you follow a guide

Guides on these sites are posted in their original form, so check the date before following one ^[1]. A guide keeps the content it had when it was first posted, so a step may not match what you see on your screen. When a step doesn't line up, look for a guide with a more recent date and compare the two.

This one habit saves the most frustration. A guide that matches your game's current state will get you through the adventures without backtracking.

Is the game expensive to buy?

Not usually. A loose copy of Petpet Adventures: The Wand of Wishing is listed at $9.07 on PriceCharting ^[6]. At that price it is a low-cost pick, but the listed price is only the starting point for what you will pay.

What the listing shows

The PriceCharting page gives a loose price of $9.07 for the PSP version ^[6]. Loose is the label the site uses for that figure, so use it as your reference point. When you compare other listings, check that they use the same label so you are comparing like with like.

Prices are a snapshot

Used-game prices can rise or fall, so a listing you see today may cost more or less later. Look at the current listings yourself before you commit to a purchase, and treat the figure above as a starting reference rather than a promise. For the next step, see Marvel Nemesis.

Add shipping before you decide

Shipping is a separate cost, so the game price is not your total. A seller with a lower game price can still cost you more once shipping is added. Add the shipping to each listing and compare the totals, not the sticker prices.

For a quick comparison, write down the game price and shipping for two or three listings side by side. The cheapest total is the one to buy, even if its game price is not the lowest on the page.

Where to go from here

If you are stuck on collecting, start with the Petpetpet feeding steps. Feed the Petpetpet the specified food, let it eat, and then pick it up. Work through that sequence for each Petpetpet you are missing before you move on. ^[4]

When you want the full route, use a complete walkthrough instead of piecing the order together from memory. Neoseeker's FAQ and guide page for the game collects walkthroughs in one place, so you can follow the adventures from start to finish. ^[1] Take one adventure at a time, and you will move through the game at a relaxed pace.
