Barkley is a Partner character featured in Cassette Beasts. He is the only non-human partner in the game.
His signature monster tape is Pombomb.
Description
Barkley is a good-tempered Pomeranian. He was transported to New Wirral along with his owner while they were on a walk.
At some point after this, his owner was killed by an
Averevoir which he seeks aid in getting his revenge on.
Quest
Barkley can be found in northeast Cherry Meadow, trying to climb the cliffs to north.
To obtain Barkley as a partner, learn
Pumpkin Vine Ball by fighting
Jumpkin in
Piper Fields. If you know it, he'll join your team as a partner.
Completing his quest requires ascending the cliffs using the ball and reaching Mt. Wirral. After entering a specific cave you will fight the Averevoir that killed Barkley's owner.
You can attempt to record the Averevoir if you unfuse with Barkley during the fight. Recording it will grant you the
Averevoir Flight ability. Regardless of whether you recorded it or not, Averevoir will begin appearing on the world map as static encounters (and can be recorder to obtain the ability).
Trivia
- Barkley is the only partner to not have wings when flying in the overworld, instead using a balloon.
- Barkley always starts with an Ice-type Pombomb tape. This has resulted in the Frosty Bootleg achievement on Steam being the most common Bootleg achievement.
