To give the wad of bills to the manager, he will say "What's that you

You are supposed to give them to him standing next to him, not in
front of him facing the desk.

Get a lot of HP
Sent in by Landon
This is a really great way to beef up your HP for all your characters.
This trick works better for a character who is about to get a level
up. This is a very time consuming trick, but the hard work pays off
big time!
First, you need to have all 3 rock candies (Well, you don't need 3, but
it works a lot better that way). Empty all your items at Ness's house,
except for the rock candies, your equipment, and the stuff on Ness.
Put the rock candies on Paula, Jeff, and Poo. Now go to Scaraba and buy
lots of Sugar Packets for Paula, Jeff, and Poo. Once you've filled them
up, make sure the rock candy is the LAST item in their pack (It must be
last or this will not work. To make the item last, give the item to. Now
go out of Scaraba into the desert. Battle an enemy like the Great Crested
Booka. Have Ness use Paralysis on the Booka(s) while your other
characters are using rock candy on Ness. As you can see, the rock candies
are not used up, and Ness's stats will go up a little every time. But the
best is yet to come! Have Ness defend until your characters run out of
sugar packets, then run away! Go back to Scaraba and restock on sugar
packets. Repeat the rock candy process as much as you want, and remember
to make sure that the rock candy is the last item in the list! Once
you've done this enough, go somewhere where you can level up, like
the lumine hall. Once that character levels up, all your stats (except
for the ones that you get with rock candy) will increase GREATLY! HP
should rise around 300, and PP around 150!!!! With this, you should get
any of your characters above 1000 HP! When you do, weird symbols
appear to replace the HP values.
Level up tips
Sent in by Mike
After Paula has left you, go to the Dusty Dunes Desert and wander around
for a little bit with Ness and Jeff. Everyone once in a while you'll find a
green thing, the Criminal Caterpillar. Chase it and you'll almost always
get the opening attack. Watch out if you don't kill it instantly, it can PSI
Fire Alpha, and it is devastating to Jeff. When you kill it with the two,
you get about 15000 exp and if you come back and kill it with Paula,
it's 10000 exp.
In the Scaraba Desert, after you come out of Brick Road (Dungeon Man)
the first time, walk around and kill things. Brick Road can do 400+ hp of
damage. Everyone once in a while, you will see a red thing, like the green
one. It's the Master Criminal Worm. Chase it, and you'll most likely get
the opening attack. Be warned...if it isn't an instant kill, use Paula's PSI
Shield Sigma, it can PSI Fire Beta. Brick Road can kill it in one hit, when he
hits it. You get about 27000 exp when you kill it with 3 people. If only 2
are alive, you get 45000 or so, and if only one person's alive and you kill it,
you get about 81000 exp. Now that's some pretty good exp...not even
Kraken's give that much.
When you enter Magicant, get a whole bunch of Magic Puddings, then go
and get a Flying Man to join you. Go down the red path and fight things. It
isn't really that hard if you're level 70+. When you reach the Spiral Thing,
press the L button to go in. Walk around until you find a Kraken. Enter
combat. For some reason, you can SMAAASH more often on these things
then on regular enemies. When you kill it, you get 79000 exp. Do this for
a while and you'll be able to beat Ness' Nightmare with no problem. You
also have a chance of getting the Gutsy Bat, which raises your guts by 127.
Best weapon
Sent in by Mike
Here's everyone's weapon that they should have equipped:
Ness - Gutsy Bat
Paula - Magic Fry Pan
Jeff - Baddest Gaia Beam

Chicken tip
Sent in by Kyle
First, go to Happy Happy (before beating Carpainter) and buy as many
eggs as you can for $12. Next, wait until they are chicken not chicks
and sell them at the store for $112. See a great profit!!
Free hat trick
Sent in by Kyle
First, go to the spot in Onett where you see the building in the trees. Once
you are there there is a secret passage through the trees. Go state up
with the tree house. Once you keep going you will be in a tree house. Talk
to the kid with batting helmet on and he will give you the Mr. baseball Cap
Swirling colors
Sent in by Kyle
Who gets the first swing in battle? What about a surprise attack? Do
you have to fight in every battle especially against weak enemies?
Watch the swirling colors when you encounter an enemy and enter
a combat sequence. Touching an enemy head on, or face to face,
results in a black swirl and even odds in combat. Sneaking up behind
an enemy produces a green swirl and you get first swing in battle.
Watch out for a red swirl! The color red signifies that the enemy
sneaked up behind you and they have the first attack. Earthbound's
combat system measures the strength of your party versus an
opponent. As you raise your levels, you will find that some easy enemies
flee as you approach. If you attack these weak targets one on one, you'll
automatically win without going through the battle sequence! Pick on weaker
enemies later n the game to build up character levels.
How to get the Sword of Kings
Sent in by Kyle
The Sword of Kings is the only weapon in the game available to the Prince.
You can't obtain this weapon until the party explores all of Deep Darkness
and enters the Stonehenge Base. Search the maze beneath Stonehenge
and defeat random Starman Supers until you receive the sword. Getting
the weapon is tough. There is only one chance in 128 that starman super
has the Sword of Kings. One method for speeding up the process of finding
the sword is to use the spy command that Jeff has. If the spy command
reveals that Starman Super has the Sword of Kings, you've found the
Prince's best weapon for winning the game!
Pray Command
Sent in by Kyle
Warm Light - The hit points of the characters in the party are increased
slightly. Warm and Very Subtle Light occur the most frequently out of
all the prayer command results.
Very Subtle Light - This light increases the hit points of all the parties
in Combat. This prayer has twice the power of the Warm light effect.
Dazzling Light - This prayer result is identical to PSI Flash spell. All
parties in combat risk the chance of being blinded by a burst of
illumination. Affected characters can not stop stop crying and usually
miss if they attack with a weapon.
Mysterious Light - The aura from this glow increases all of the PSI
points of characters in your party. Remember that the Pray command
does not cost any PSI points to use. A primary reason most players
use this command is when they have no other options.
Golden Light - The Golden Light randomly maxes out the hit points of
one member in the party.
Sheet Lightning - Sheet Lightning is another blinding spell that reduces
the amount of damage in combat. Like the Dazzling Light, this prayer
creates a PSI flash spell that effects both parties in combat. As in real
life, Sheet lightning is very infrequent. You may see this occurrence
once in the entire game.
Rainbow Colored Light - Yeah! A second chance to do things right ! The
rainbow light brings all deceased party members back to life. Don't expect
to see this effect very often. This is a rare form of divine intervention.
Mysterious Aroma - This has the same effect as watching a test
pattern late at night. One whiff of this Aroma puts all parties
temporarily to sleep. This is not a desirable or common occurrence.
Thunder - Yikes! Don't run under any nearby trees! Thunder exposes
all parties in combat to the risk of brain shock. This seriously
incapacitates any affected individuals.
Heavy Air - Heavy air creates a fog bank that envelopes both parties
in combat, dropping their defensive ratings. You can land more blows
unless you have been hit by PSI flash.
Black phones warning
Sent in by Chris S
The Black phones my be free, or so you think. Once you save your game,
quit the game, then play it again, half of your money is gone.
(Example: Say you save at a black phone, you have $500 dollars. When
you start up the game and go back into it, your money will be at $250.)
Get the diamond
Sent in by foxkid@angelfire.com
To get the diamond in Dusty Dunes Desert, go to Fourside and talk
to Pokey. Then buy the show ticket for the Runaway five (which
should be six,) then talk to the theater manager. Then go see the
runaway five, return to the desert and go to the folklift. Then you
will see an entrance under where the forklift dug, and talk to the
miner. Then defeat the 5 big moles, and talk to the miner and you
will have a diamond. Give it to the manager and they will go the next town.
Get free eggs and bananas
Sent in by Liss
Go to Happy Happy village and go towards the drug store. In front of the
drug store you will see a food stand with no one attending it. Read the
sign and after you have selected what you want a screen will show up
asking how much you would like to pay. You can keep it $0 on the screen
and you will get whatever you chose off of the menu for free.
Beating tough bosses
Sent in by Liss
Go to the weapon man In deep Darkness or that guy after the pyramid
in Scaraba and stock on multi bottle rockets for that brainy kid because
he is the only one who can use them. When you meet Master Puke, thunder
storm, and/or carbon dog use multi bottle rockets on them and they will
disappear pretty quickly. For carbon dog it takes more than one but the
other bosses you may encounter (Like shroom) will die in an instant.
Skipping Bosses
Sent in by Liss
You can skip some bosses like shroom, the mole in Happy Happy village,
and the sprout behind Saturn Valley for awhile and build up your strength.
Come back later and defeat one of those bosses or all of them it just
makes it easier to beat them.
Gain a few levels in Twosome
Sent in by Mooglecharm
To gain a few levels in Twosome go near the end of the town where there are
the mushrooms and plantweeds. Fight them. When your HP in low cure.
There should be Magic Butterflies to cure PP if you get a mushroom on your
Head talk to the girl on the other side of the cave and sell the mushroom
for $50. This should get you a couple of levels.
Leveling up when you are alone
Sent in by Greg Campbell
This is a technique for leveling when each of the boys is alone. For the
main character (I call him Greg), after you have your special (I call it
Nova), go to Giant Step Hill and on the far left there's a room with a
box in it on the first floor. Go in, see if there are any easy fights and
if there are, attack. Exit the room and reenter as needed.
The second time you can beef up Greg is in Happy Happy Village BEFORE
you kill Carpainter. Progress the story so you have the Franklin Badge
and all the best equipment you can buy from Happy Happy Village. Go
into Mondo Mole cave and keep fighting until you're at least L23. (There's
a magic butterfly in the cave near the path to MM.) By now you should
have Nova B. Take on Mondo Mole ALONE, cast Shield a on you then Nova B
until MM dies. Easy fight.
With Marty (the smart guy), after you jump the wall, sell your ruler
and protractor, possibly a few cookies, and buy the gum. Keep going until
you get into the Shroom cave. Fight around here until you can kill
Mushrooms in one hit, and have the Cheap Bracelet and Dart Gun. Use
Brick Road if needed. Now, there are Cave Boys outside by Stonehenge
that give a Picnic Lunch EVERY time they're killed. Use this to your
advantage and keep attacking them (they miss so often it's funny)
until they're gone. 5-7 hits usually kills one. Keep killing Cave Boys
until you're satisfied, but I recommend L26 or more before leaving Winters.
With the 3 (Greg, Marty and Chnie I call them) in the Belch Factory,
fight Foppies (the red things) until you're hurting. Heal up and grab
a butterfly, then repeat.
This comes in handy later on. If you build up chars MASSIVELY, you
can get through Magicant easily later.
Fighting the Nightmair
Sent in by Greg Campbell
Save the Dragonite bags until this moment. When you face the nightmare,
use the bags (all 4) and you SHOULD win easily.
Get a lot of experience and cash
Sent in by Kevin
When you go to the Saturn Valley Base (where you fight Master Belch) you
can find Floopies or Floppies or something like that, little red gels, that
are super easy, give a lot of experience, and you can fight like 8 of them
at the same time.Also, they are in the cave to the Underworld, under the
Tenda Village, but the are orange and there aren't as many, about 5-6, but
the give much more experience and this helps with cash because the more
experience you gain the more money your dad puts in the ATM thing.
Tips for food
Sent in by DOAHunterX
If you put condiments before a Rock Candy (sugar packet preferred) and
use the Rock Candy, you will use the sugar packets, but keep the candy.
Actually, the Vitality, IQ, Guts, Luck, and Speed the Rock Candy
increases affects max HP, max PP, more SMASSSHHHH attacks, more
dodged attacks, and a better chance of attacking first! (Respectively,
of course). Another condiment tip: Salt packet + Brain Food Lunch= Max HP
and Max PP recovery!
Sound Stone tip
Sent in by Venom
To avoid having to carry the Sound Stone around with you, first, fight
crows and snakes to receive cookies until your inventory is full. Continue
to the meteorite and fight the Starman Jr. as usual. Go to Pokey's house
and have the bee die. He'll teleport the sound stone to your sister.
In Onett how do you get the police to fight you?
Sent in by Frank
First, after you get the key to the house in the upper left corner of
Onett, unlock the door and go into the cave. Be sure to have you "special
Psy power." Defeat Titanic Ant and then when you exit the cave, a police
man will tell you to come to the police station later. Stock up on
hamburgers, and go the station by the bakery. Talk to chief strong,

into another room. there you will fight five of his best men. After you
defeat the five police men, You face Chief Strong. Defeat him and you

How do you get past the bunnies when playing as Cloud in Dallam?
Sent in by Shaun McKECHNIE

Sword of Kings and the Gutsy Bat
Sent in by Jared Kuntz
In the secret Winters Base on Earthbound Fight a Lot of The gold
starmen (Super Starmen I think). You can get a weapon called the
Sword of Kings. This the only weapon in the game that Poo (The one
from Dallam) can use. Also, in Ness's mind where you fight the Krakens
you can win a weapon called the Gutsy Bat. This weapon is really strong
and raises your guts by about 10!
Enemy tip
Sent in by Mog
If you see a tough enemy that you don't want to fight, just simply turn
around to where you cant see it. When you return, you should see a
new enemy (Or none at all.) if it didn't work, go back farther and try it again.

Build up experience points
Sent in by Jerry
When you are in Magicant, build up Ness's level by going through the
Red Tunnel over and over again.
Sent in by Kyle Fuhrer
A quick and easy way to earn experience: After you beat an end guy, every
bad guy in that area will be scared of you. What you do is corner the
enemy. Make sure he is alone. Run into him and the fight will end fast.
You could earn from one experience point to about four thousand points
in one pop.
Sent in by Mark
When you are in Onett stock up on 4 or 5 hamburgers. Then go by the
pizza parlor. Find a shark, when 1 shark is chasing you run so that he
follows you far away, then finally turn around and get into the fight.
Keep bashing him, use a hamburger if he hurts you. When you beat him

Keep fighting them until you have a lot of experience to beat frank
and Frankenstein mark II.

When fighting Kraken, use this combo to defeat him: PSI Special
Gamma, PSI Freeze Gamma, Big Bottle Rocket, PSI Freeze Beta.
Get rich quick
Sent in by Robby/Zoyicite
I've found an easy way to increase your money early in the game. When you
reach Twoson, at Berlin Park (The Flea Market Place) there's a booth selling
fresh eggs. Buy as many fresh eggs as you can. I usually clear my inventory
with escargo express. With as many eggs as you can hold go to the Twoson
shopping mall and wait. Give each egg 3 minutes or so to grow and change.
Soon You'll have a chicken which you can sell for a rewarding profit. Do NOT
try to "use" the chicken or it'll run away. Lets take a over look.
1. Buy a fresh egg for $12.
2. Give each egg 3 minutes or so.
3. "Return/Sell" the Chicken/s for $110.
That's $98 profit.
I.E. I buy 10 eggs for $120. I get 10 chickens and sell them for $1100 ....WOW!
I make $980!
Green phone save warning

Fly Honey tip
Sent by Robby/Zoyicite
The Fly Honey you get in the trash can in Threed (After you defeat the
Circus tent) isn't just meant for making your eyes water and making
you want to "toss your kookies", but it has a significant purpose.
When Fighting Master Belch in Grape-Fruit Falls, use the Fly Honey in
battle. This makes MB (Master Belch) Fall in to a gushing pile of
harmless muck.

Why is there a teddy bear following me around?
The small bear that follows you around acts as a shield in battle. It
will absorb enemy attacks so that your characters don't take the
damage. The bears can absorb a limited amount of Hit Points, though.
When they've absorbed their quota, they turn into piles of fluff and
disappear.
I'm trying to give an item to someone, but he or she won't take it. Why?
You need to stand so that you are directly next to the person AND
facing them. Press the A Button, select Goods, point to the item you
want to give, press the A Button, select Use.
How do I get past the statue shaped liked a Pencil?
You need the Pencil Eraser. Once you open the road to Twoson, follow
the path south of Onett to get to Twoson. Talk to everyone in Twoson
for clues. Go to Burglin Park on the east side of town and fight
Everdred. He'll tell you that Paula has been kidnapped. Now go to the
Apple Kid and give him $200. The mouse in Apple Kid's house will give
you the Receiver Phone. Now go into the cave that near the Bus
Station in the lower right. Go north from the cave exit to find a
Pencil-Shaped Statue. Go back through the cave towards Twoson. As you
exit the cave, you'll get a call on the Receiver Phone telling you to
return to the Apple Kid. Talk to the Orange Kid (in the house above
the Apple Kid's house) to learn that Apple Kid went to Burglin Park
to look for you. Go to the southwest corner of the park to talk to the
Apple Kid. He will give you the Pencil Eraser.
What do I do in the Deep Darkness? I'm supposed to find a flashlight.

Why can't I stay at the Inn in Moonside?
Yes means no and No means yes in Moonside. When they ask if you want
to stay, point to No and press the A Button.

You must have the phone number to Mach Pizza, which you get at the
pizza parlor in Twoson. Otherwise, you will not get the paper.

Give the Diamond to the Topolla Theater Owner in Fourside to make him

Win the key by defeating Mr. Carpainter in the center of Happy-Happy
Village.
Key to the Locker
Get it from Maxwell on the first floor of the school where you begin
as Jeff.
Key to the Shack
It's in Onett. Go to the Arcade, defeat Frank and Frankystein Mark II,
then visit to the Mayor in the Town Hall. He'll give you the Key.
Note: The Town Hall is in the center of Onett.
Key to the Tower
Talk to the man in the oasis north of the Pyramid's southern exit.
King Banana
Give it to one of the monkeys blocking a door in the cave where you
find it. Go through the door to find Talah Rama and get the Yogurt
Dispenser.
Meteorite Piece (also referred to as "Zexonyte")
Find the Meteorite Piece by examining the big meteor north part of
Onett. You must have found all eight Sanctuaries and talked to Dr.
Andonuts in Saturn Valley before you'll be able to find it.
Pak of Bubble Gum
After Jeff leaves the school, go into the shop on the right and talk
to the girl. She will sell you the Bubble Gum for $1.
Pencil Eraser
Get it from the Apple Kid in Twoson. You have to follow the steps
outlined in the Game Play sequence in order to get it.
NOTE: If you don't have the Pencil Eraser in your inventory, call
Escargo Express and have them deliver it.
Receiver Phone
Get it from the mouse in the Apple Kid's house in Twoson. Talk to the
Apple Kid, give him $200 to finance his inventions, then talk to the
mouse to get the phone.
NOTE: Don't store it with Escargo Express. You need to have it with
you at certain times. If you don't, you'll miss important items and clues.
Show Ticket
Buy tickets from the man behind the counter at the entrance to the
Topolla Theater. If you face the man and press L, he'll offer to sell
one to you for $30. Once you use it, it will disappear from your items
list, but you can buy another one later.
Shyness Book (also referred to as the "Overcoming Shyness Book")
Get the Book from the Library in Onett, but you must first rescue
Apple Kidfrom the Stonehenge Base.
Signed Banana
Get the Signed Banana from Venus in the Topolla Theater in Fourside.
You must have the Hieroglyph Copy, and you must first talk to the man
blocking the door in the Dinosaur Museum in Fourside. Go into the
theater, watch the show, then go backstage and talk to Venus to get it.
Sound Stone
Get it from Buzz Buzz when he gets squashed near the beginning of the game.
Tendakraut
Get it from the Chief in Tenda Village after giving him the Shyness Book.
Tiny Ruby
Poo begins the game with it among his items. When he travels to
Summers and joins your other characters, he will still have it.
Town Map
Pick it up in the Onett Library. Talk to the woman behind the counter
next to the entrance to get it.
Wad of Bills
Get the bills from Everdred in Twoson's Burglin Park. You must rescue
Paula from Happy-Happy Village first, then return with her to Burglin
Park to get the Wad of Bills.
NOTE : He actually says he's giving you $10,000, but you won't
ever actually get the money to spend--you just get the item called
Wad of Bills.
Yogurt Dispenser
Find it in Talah Rama's Cave north of the Drug Store in the Desert.
Bosses
Sometimes the levels of the psychic power is shown. When it is,
use that level is you have the PP. If no power level is shown,
use whatever level you wish, but it's best to use the most
powerful level you have.
Starman Junior
200 HP, 999 PP, no shields.
Don't get cocky with this boss, because this is the only
freebee you'll get! After all, Buzz Buzz protects you from
PSI Freeze Alpha and PSI Fire Alpha. Just keep attacking or turn on
Auto Fight and watch the outcome. This is meant for you to
see what lies ahead.
Frank Fly
63 HP, 0 PP, no shields.
This guy is your "reality check" after the first boss. Make
a trip into the Arcade and thrash the Sharks before battling
Frank. Stock up on Hamburgers before the battle. Attack
repeatedly and eat a Hamburger if you're feeling weak. If
you're really low on HP, go ahead and use Lifeup Alpha. Frank
isn't too tough to beat.
Frankystein Mark II
91 HP, 0 PP, no shields.
After you defeat Frank, he'll sic his home-maid robot on you.
It's poorly built and has to release steam between each
attack. Treat him just like Frank, but recharge your HP in
between Frankystein's attacks to escape retaliation.
Titanic Ant
235 HP, 102 PP, can cast Shield of Light Alpha.
This ant is tough to stomp. Make PSI Special Alpha your first
attack to dispatch of his toadies. After that, the Ant will
occasionally suck your PP, so use most of it in the
beginning. It's a good idea to use Hypnosis Alpha to save
yourself from attack a few turns. Use mainly Bash attacks,
and save PP for healing and hypnotizing the huge Ant.
Onett Police Officers
75 HP, 0 PP, no shields each.
Before you visit the Police Station, stock up on Hamburgers
and Lucky Sandwiches. Unfortunately, you don't get a chance
to refill your HP in between battles. Never let your HP drop
below 30! I usually Bash the first two officers, PSI Special
Alpha the third, and Bash the fourth. Chomp a Hamburger or, if
you need lots of energy, a Lucky Sandwich or use Lifeup Alpha.
Captain Strong
140 HP, 0 PP, no shields.
Strong doesn't live up to his name very well. Try to keep
your HP above 40. Start with a PSI Special Alpha, followed by
Bash attacks. Refill your energy whenever necessary. He
isn't so tough by himself, but he can be brutal after fights
with four police officers.
Al Everdred
about 170 HP, 0 PP, no shields.
The crime boss of Burglin Park is a wimp. The worst thing
he'll do is to steal your items. Bash him regularly, with a
PSI Special Alpha once if you want. For added protection, bring
along a Teddy Bear.
Mr. Carpainter
262 HP, 70 PP, can cast Shield of Light Alpha.
This guy may look like he took one too many whiffs of that
blue paint, but he'll paint you if you're not careful. Don't
bother wasting PP except to refill your energy. He deals the
most damage to himself with Lightning deflected by the
Franklin Badge. One hint: don't ever give the Frankin Badge
away!
Mondo Mole
498 HP, 161 PP, can cast Psychic Shield Alpha.
This guy is very powerful and can deal mortal damage to Paula
easily. Use Paralysis Alpha on him immediately! Then, he can
only use Offence Up # and PSI Shield #. Use psychic attacks
unless he has his shield up. After that, repeatedly Bash him
for an easy victory.
Boogey Tent
about 500 HP, 0 PP, no shields.
This apparition isn't anything to worry about. Be sure to
have a Vial of Serum in case he poisons you. Use PSI Fire
and PSI Special to dispatch of this maniacal tent. A regular
Bottle Rocket also works nicely.
Mini Barf
about 550 HP, 0 PP, no shields.
This little pile of pond scum is tougher than he looks.
Focus on Bash attacks until he makes you cry. Then, use a
combo of PSI Freeze and PSI Special. You should also throw
in a Bomb or two.
Master Belch
650 HP, 0 PP, no shields.
This slime's looks are the worst things about the Belcher.
Use the Fly Honey immediately so Belch won't attack. After
that, use a nice combo of Bash, PSI Freeze, and a PSI Special
for variety. Don't waste any Bombs or Bottle Rockets of him;
he's too easy.
Trillionage Sprout
1,048 HP, 240 PP, can cast Psychic Shield Alpha.
Be sure no one in your party is Mushroomized when you go up
against the Sprout. Hi him immediately with your most
powerful PSI Fire and PSI Special attacks to get rid of his
helpers. Use PSI Fire and regular attacks throughout the
battle. A Bomb or Bottle Rocket will also help. Don't spare
any PP getting rid of this guy, unless he has his shield up.
Guardian Diggers
386 HP, 110 PP, starts with & can cast Shield of Light Beta each.
One note about these guys: never use a Bash or Item attack!
Some of that damage will be delivered back to you. Use PSI
Flash and a strong PSI Freeze to dispatch of each Digger.
You may have to exit the cave once or twice to refill your HP
and PP. Don't forget to bring Items that replenish PP, and
take an Exit Mouse from the cave for a quick exit.
Department Store Spook
about 800 HP, 200 PP, no shields.
The kidnapper of Paula is not a wimpy enemy! It can and will
throw almost every psychic attack in the book at you.
Counter with PSI Special and Bottle Rockets and Super Bombs.
Don't buy any Big Bottle Rockets until you're ready to leave
Fourside; the regular ones are powerful enough.
Evil Mani Mani
860 HP, 88 PP, can cast Psychic Shield Alpha.
Finally it's time to wreck this focus of Giygas's evil!
Don't spare the PSI Special and throw a Super Bomb or two.
You should also try the Counter-PSI Device once or twice.
Once you crack the bronze idol, you'll end the illusionary
Moonside for good.
Clumsy Robot
962 HP, 0 PP, starts with Psychic Shield Alpha.
Try as you might, you'll never beat him. It's a good idea to
use Shield # on both Ness and Jeff. Repeatedly Bash the bot,
but don't bother with any Bombs or Bottle Rockets. After a
while, Eagleland's #1 band will flip the bot's power off.
Schroom!
1,700 HP, 112 PP, no shields.
This vile vegetable's most dangerous attack is the incurable
Mushroomization. If one of your characters is hit with this,
don't use any strong attacks with that person. A fast and
furious volley of PSI Special, PSI Fire, and a Big Bottle
Rocket will make this fungus among us wilt.
Plague Rat of Doom
1,827 HP, 60 PP, no shields.
Almost every one of the rat's attacks is a SMAAASH attack.
Use Shield Sigma to protect your party quickly. The rodent hates
getting burnt by PSI Fire! PSI Special and some Big Bottle
Rockets work well too. A shot of Defence Down Alpha will also
help the weaker Poo help Bash. Heal injured members quickly!
Thunder & Storm
2,065 HP, 70 PP, no shields.
Don't forget to wear the ever-useful Franklin Badge when
fighting these Lightning Elementals! The duo likes to zap
you with lots of lightning bolts. PSI Freeze will but these
guardians on ice for good. Be ready to heal soon when they
take deep breaths for their next assault -- that attack is
brutal!
Kraken
1,097 HP, 176 PP, no shields.
The Kraken is a formidable beast, but nothing a high dosage
of PSI Freeze can't rid of. He uses Lightning and the
equivalents of both the Neutralizer and PSI Flash. Don't
bother with any shields, because they won't block anything.
Like all classic monsters, he breathes fire. Just attack him
fast and attack him hard.
Guardian General
831 HP, 6 PP, no shields.
This stone warrior hates the icyness of a PSI Freeze
onslaught. A quick lash with a Mummy Wrap will also greatly
damage the living statue. Otherwise, use a Big Bottle Rocket
and Bash Attacks, but don't drain too much PP; you don't get
a free refill until you exit the pyramid!
Master Barf
1,319 HP, 0 PP, no shields.
This pile of God-knows-what is just Master Belch with some
more putridness than before. Too bad he just filled up on
Fly Honey and won't take any more. Again, PSI Freeze is your
best weapon, along with PSI Special and a good Bash attack.
After you deal so much damage to him, Poo will come back and
demonstrate PSI Starstorm Alpha on your opponent!
Starman Deluxe
1,400 HP, 418 PP, starts with & can cast Shield of Light Beta.
The Starman Deluxe is one of Gigyas's favorite robots. It's
capable of using PSI Starstorm Alpha, which will be devastating
to your party's current status! Start with PSI Shield Alpha to
save you. Attack using only psychic attacks, and have Jeff
use Shield Killer on the boss. If the robot is joined by
more Starmen, ignore them. They will disappear once their
leader is scrapped.
Electro Specter
3,092 HP, 80 PP, starts with Psychic Shield Beta.
This guardian's shield is no problem. He often uses a
Neutralizer, which will wreck his shield as well as yours.
Once he does, try using a strong PSI Freeze on him. Using a
Multi-Bottle Rocket will also help wear him down. If he
doesn't drop the shields after a while, go ahead and use the
Shield Killer.
Carbon Dog
1,672 HP, 0 PP, no shields.
This hot dog can't stand a good PSI Freeze Omega or two. Focus
on beating him quickly. It's a good idea to launch a Multi-
Bottle Rocket to end the battle against him. But wait!
There's more!
Diamond Dog
3,344 HP, 154 PP, starts with & can cast Shield of Light Beta.
It makes sense; diamonds are made of almost pure carbon.
Enough with the science lesson, though. Don't bother with
Shield Killer because he'll make a new shield soon. Although
no psychic power works especially well on him, try a good
blast of PSI Special, PSI Freeze, and PSI Starstorm. It will
also help to cast Shield Sigma to protect you from his fierce
attacks. It takes time to beat him -- he's tougher than
diamonds.
Ness's Nightmare
1,654 HP, 882 PP, starts with Psychic Shield Alpha,
can cast Shield of Light Beta.
Is it any real coincidence that the Nightmare looks just like
the Mani Mani statue? Be sure to have plenty of PP-
replenishing items on hand. Use Bash attacks until he
changes shields. Then use PSI Special Beta or Gamma, but not
Omega! The Í level drains more PP than you can afford to lose.
Heal whenever you're hit with a strong psychic attack. After all,
he is your evil side; he can do anything you can. It may
take a few tries to topple him once and for all. Be sure to
equip an item that repels Flash attacks to avoid Crying.
Don't waist time and PP with a shield; you can't block any of
his attacks.
Heavily Armed Pokey
limitless HP, limitless PP, no shields.
Gigyas (phase 1)
limitless HP, limitless PP, Super Shield that never disappears
and deflects everything.
Get ready -- it's going to be a long battle. Immediately
cast three or four PSI Shield Sigma to block Gigyas's PSI Special
attacks. Don't dare use Omega level, because it will bounce off
you, bounce off Gigyas, and hurt you! Focus entirely on
Pokey. Use PSI Brainshock Alpha on Pokey to make him attack
himself. Launch Bash attacks and Multi-Bottle Rockets at
him. Eventually, Pokey will leave, turn off the Devil's
Machine, and reveal the true form of Gigyas!
Gigyas (phase 2)
limitless HP, 0 PP, no shields.
Gigyas now appears as an undulating background. Don't bother
with shields, because you can't comprehend his attacks. Go
ahead and show off with your PSI Special Omega, PSI Freeze Omega,
PSI Starstorm Omega, and any Multi-Bottle Rockets you may have left.
His attacks have the effects of either Lightning, PSI Flash,
or a PSI Freeze that hits everybody. Heal up and don't let
anyone die! After a while Pokey will taunt you about calling
for help.
Gigyas (phase 3)
limitless HP, 0 PP, no shields.
Gigyas's previous form now becomes more furious and
tumultuous. Don't bother with any attacks -- they won't help
you now. Save PP for Lifeup and Healing. Use Poo's
Brainshock Alpha to make Gigyas attack himself. It doesn't make
the battle faster, but it saves you from a round or two of
damage. Use Paula's Pray command repeatedly to spell
Gigyas's doom. The hope of the Mr. Saturn, the Runaway Five,
Paula's friends, Jeff's friends, Poo's girlfriends, Frank
Fly, Ness's Mom and sister, and finally you, the one staring
at the computer screen, will destroy Gigyas!
