Legend of Mana Cactus Diaries Explained

Legend of Mana continues a beloved in-game chronicle tradition.

Every adventure needs a log of the hero's actions along the way—and what better way to keep that log than through a dedicated character? That's where Li'l Cactus comes in: the keeper of the in-game Cactus Diaries. The Cactus Diaries are simply the diaries entries of the Li'l Cactus character. After every mission, Li'l Cactus will chronicle the exploits of the player in his journal as a diary entry.

These entries can be found scribbled on green leaves hung around the upstairs bedroom in the player's Home. In order for Li'l Cactus to write an entry, however, the player must speak to them after the mission. Li'l Cactus will then rush off to write down the events of the mission and his thoughts about them.
