| An Earthbound Strategy Guide When you start your file, you will have to choose all the names immediately. If you don't know the true names of the people, the first person is Ness, the second is Paula, third is Jeff, and last is Poo. You can choose the name of the dog, favorite thing, and favorite dish yourself. Shining Spot one: Giant Step When you start out, you go through a bunch of sequences telling about where you are and other stuff. Anyway, after the meteor crashes down in Onett, go outside and talk to Pokey at the place where the meteor crashed (or as close as you can get to it in this case). Go back home. Then after you go back to bed, there will be an annoying knock at the door. Answer it to see Pokey again. After talking to him for a little bit, your Mom will tell you to get the cracked bat in Tracy's room. Take the bat in the present (if you don't know how to open a present, just go next to the present, press A, and select Check) and make sure you equip it. Then go to the door and the phone will ring. It is your dad. Save with him and then talk to your dog. He will join you. Now go to the meteor crash sight (now the road is opened) and your dog will run. The big coward. Talk to Picky near the meteor and he will join you. After walking a few steps away from there, Picky will ask if you hear something. Say yes even if you don't and a beam of light will come out of the meteor. Then a type of bug named Buzz Buzz will join you. Now make sure you level up a bit and get ready to go back to your home. When you get close to your home, a star man will join you. If you leveled up to level 4 or 5, this fight will be EASY. He won't harm you that much, so just keep attacking (Bashing) him. Once you kill him, go back to Pokey's house (the house on the left of yours) and talk to his dad. He will give you a boring lecture. Then talk to his wife and she will smack Buzz Buzz, mistaking him for a dung beetle, and then he'll fall down to the floor. Talk to Buzz Buzz and he will explain about the "My Sanctuary" points in the world and about Giygas, your main enemy. Before he dies, Buzz Buzz will give you the Sound Stone, a very important item, and pass away. now go out of Pokey's house and a new day will start, including your adventure... You should start out by going south of your house down the path encountering some enemies, until you get to the Onett library. There, talk to the receptionist and she will give you a map. YOU WILL NEED THIS IN THE FUTURE!!! Next, go a little bit more south of the path to hit the big city. Don't worry about the speeding cars because they don't kill you. Make sure you go immediately left to the drug store and buy some things to make Ness more powerful (you should buy the bat you don't have and the baseball cap for now). Don't go bonkers if you don't have enough money to buy the cheap bracelet yet, fight some enemies to earn some money and withdraw it from the bank accout until you finally have enough. Next, train a bit against the dogs and crows to gain some experience till you are level 5 or 6. Go to your house, heal, and save with your Dad by calling him. Go to the Burger Shop in Onett (next to the drug store and first before going in, "check" the trash can outside to find a hamburger (don't worry, it's ok to eat still...)) and buy as many bags of fries you can. Then go to the southern most part of Onett and you will most likely be jumped by a couple of guys in black. These are kind of threats if you are at a lower level than metioned before, but you should be okay if you are the limit. Eat your fries if you start getting low on HP. Once it is clear, go into the video arcade and fight people if you want for EXP. You'll notice a guy blocking a door on the first floor. Say "No" to his question and you will fight him. Before going through the door he is blocking, make sure you have full life. Go through the doors and see a man. "Talk to" him and he will fight you. After you defeat this pushover, (watch out when he uses those knives) kill his tank like thing. It is your first ever boss fight, but don't panic, just keep bashing. When you beat it, Frank will tell you that you have good powers and will tell you about a key the mayor has. Go to the city hall (check your map if you don't know where it is) and talk to the mayor and he will give you a key. Now make sure you heal and then go to where the path between the library and Onett is and take the bath you never been on. Keep going until you hit two homeless guys. "Use" the key you got on the door of the shack and before going in, talk to one of the homeless guys and he will give you a free travel charm, a defense item which can be worn on the body. Once done equiping the charm, go through the shack which has nothing special and enter the cave. BE VERY CAREFUL IN THIS CAVE!!! Be sure to learn the PSI ability: Psi (Whatever you put as your favorite thing) because it will useful for the boss. Save as much PP as you can in this cave. When you reach the very end of the second part of this dungeon, climb the ropes and defeat the hardest boss yet, Giant Antoid!!! Giant Antoid is no pushover. Use PSI "Fav" a couple times to eliminate it's cronies and then kill him by bashing. You should Heal whenever you HP gets low with Lifeup a. When you finally kill him, Go to the place he was blocking to see a huge foot. This is your first shining spot and you will hear the melody of Giant Step. Because you killed the big cheese of this dungeon and absorbed power, everything in this cave is afraid of you and will turn their back when you get close, so you can touch them to get an immediate first strike and lot's of EXP. Do this until you want to leave and then leave the cave, just to be stopped by police. Answer his question with anything and he will tell you to go to the Onett Police station. Instead, go home, Heal, and save. Then go to the burger joint and buy as many burgers as possible. Finally, go to the police station and talk to the two cops. The second one will ask you if you want to go to Twoson, but you have to pass a test. Say yes and he will take you in a room with five policemen. To go to Twoson, defeat all four cops (one of them chickens out and runs) and captain strong. Captain strong is super well...strong and you should just keep bashing him until he dies unless you have to heal. When you kill him, the gate to Twoson will be opened only for you, so go to your house again and heal and save. Shining Spot Two: Lilliput Steps Ok, go to the south part of Onett and talk to one of the police men to make him move. During this route to Twoson is going to be bad. Watch out for mushrooms called ramblin evil mushrooms. They spread spores that make you have a mushroom on top of your head, and you start to walk with screwed up controls. If you do get spored, I don't know what to do, so push your reset button and try not to get spored. Anyway, while walking you will see a house. Don't bother going in; there's nothing you want. Once you get to Twoson, things will start to look weird. Your first stop should be the Twoson Hotel. Then after that the bike shop to pick up your bicycle (the photographer guy will photograph you when you leave with your bike). After that, go to the department store and buy some stuff. Lastly, go to the one "fair thingy" and keep walking to the left. A man on a roof will jump down and attack you. Kill Everdred easily by just bashing and he will make you go inside his house and talk about Paula, and how he was accused of her kidnapping. I'll start making the Eartbound Strategy Guide...someday... |
