*******************************************************************************
II.Game Basics
*******************************************************************************
1.Controls
L-BUTTON: "Talk" to NPCs, "check" containers and objects, advance dialogue,
and select menu options. This is a handy all-purpose button.
CONTROL PAD/DIRECTIONAL PAD (D-PAD): Used to move your characters on the
field and cycle through menu options.
A-BUTTON: Opens the main menu outside of battle; also selects menu options
and advances dialogue.
B-BUTTON: Shows the amount of HP/PP and money your party has when pressed
outside of battle. Cancels and closes menu windows or answers "no"
when asked a question. Also advances dialogue.
X-BUTTON: View a map of the current town. This will only work if you receive
the Map from the first town.
SELECT: Same as the B-Button.
START/Y-BUTTON/R-BUTTON: No function.
2.Main Menu Options
Open the main menu by pressing A outside of battle. The menu options are as
follows:
"Talk to:" Talk to any non-player character (NPC) you are standing next to.
You can also just press the L-button to talk to people.
"PSI:" Use special psychic (PSI) moves usable outside of battle. PSI moves
are learned automatically as characters get stronger and cost psychic
points (PP) to use. The PSI moves usable from the main menu are Lifeup
(recovers HP), Healing (cures ailments), and Teleport (travel to
another town).
"Check:" Open gift boxes and other containers to obtain any items they hold,
or examine objects to interact with them, depending on the
situation. You can also press the L-button to check objects.
"Goods:" Open the inventory menu (see the section "4.Inventory Menu" for
info).
"Equip:" Equip your party members with weapons and armor. Items that can be
equipped must be in a party member's inventory before he or she can
use it.
"Status:" Open the status dialog window, which shows detailed information on
each party member (see next section for more info).
3.Status Menu
Select "Status" from the main menu to view each character's attributes and
abilities. The information shown in the status dialog window is as follows:
Level: The strength and capabilities of each party member is determined by
their level. As a character increases in level, their attributes
increase and they learn new PSI abilities.
Status Effect: If a character is afflicted by an ailment, such as poison or
paralysis, the status effect will be shown underneath their
level.
Hit Points: Hit points (HP) represent the amount of life a character has.
When HP reaches 0, the character will fall unconscious and be
unable to do anything. HP can be restored when conscious by
eating food, using the PSI move Lifeup, resting at a Hotel, or
talking to certain people. Unconscious party members can be
revived by going to a Hospital, using certain medicinal items, or
using the PSI move Healing.
In the status window, the value on the left shows a party
member's current HP, while the value on the right shows the
maximum possible amount.
Psychic Points: Psychic points (PP) are needed to use special PSI abilities.
Each PSI move costs a certain amount of PP to use and will
not be usable if a character does not have enough PP to cover
the cost. Much like HP, PP can be recovered by resting at a
Hotel, eating PP recovery food items, or talking to certain
people.
In the status window, the value on the left shows a party
member's current PP, while the value on the right shows the
maximum possible amount.
Experience Points: Experience (exp.) points are earned by fighting and
defeating enemies. When a certain amount of exp. points is
accumulated, the party member will "level up" and increase
their attributes and possibly learn new PSI abilities.
PSI Info: Press A while in the status window to view short descriptions of a
party member's PSI abilities. Press B to return to the status
window.
Attributes: The status window also displays each party member's attributes.
The meaning of each attribute is described in the section
"6.Status Attributes and What They Mean" below.
4.Inventory Menu
Outside of battle, open the main menu with the A button and select "Goods"
to view your inventory. If you have more than one party member, use the D-PAD
to select which character's inventory you want to open and press A. Use the
D-PAD to select an item and press A to access some options:
"Use:" Use the selected item to activate its effects, or give the selected
item to an NPC in some situations.
"Give:" Transfer the item to someone else's inventory, or give the item to
the same character to move the item to the bottom of the list.
"Drop:" Get rid of the item. Be warned that dropped items cannot be
retrieved. Items that can only be found in one part of the game
cannot be dropped but can be stored (see Escargo Express in Town
Services below).
"Help!:" View a short (and sometimes humorous) description of the selected
item.
You can access any party member's inventory outside of battle, but each
character can only use what is held in his or her inventory during a fight.
Thus, if a character is unconscious, their inventory can only be accessed
while you are not in battle.
Also, weapons and armor must be in a character's inventory for that character
to equip the item. Each party member can only carry 14 items, though you can
place items in a separate storage space using Escargo Express (see the
section "7.Town Services" for more info).
5.Battle System
The battle system in EarthBound is similar to turn-based fighting systems of
many RPGs. Each character takes turns attacking to decrease the enemies' HP,
and enemies are defeated when their HP reaches 0. Like your party members,
all enemies have attributes and maximum HP and PP values, but they do not
increase in level and get stronger.
When your party wins a battle, they will be awarded experience points and
possibly receive an item dropped by an enemy. If the party loses a battle,
they will lose 50% of the money they were carrying and return to your last
save point with only Ness conscious at 0 PP.
a)Approaching Enemies
Battle begins when your party makes contact with an enemy on the field. If
the party and the enemy meet face-to-face, battle begins normally. If the
party approaches an enemy from behind, you will have one free round where
the enemy will not attack. If the enemy approaches the party from behind,
the enemy will get one free round instead.
b)Weak Enemies
Enemies that are significantly weaker than the party will often try to run
away, making it easy for you to approach the fleeing foe from behind or
avoid fighting.
You can also get an instant victory against weaker enemies if the party is
strong enough so you don't have to waste time fighting underpowered
enemies. Approaching an enemy from behind will increase your odds of
getting an instant victory, while no instant victory will be awarded if an
enemy approaches the party from behind.
c)Rolling HP Counter
Party members' HP values are shown on a rolling drum display that counts up
or down when a character is taking damage or recovering HP. The sequential
scrolling of numbers is not just cosmetic--it can potentially save
someone's life.
A party member will only fall unconscious if their HP counter reaches 0.
Thus, if you recover a character who has taken heavy damage before his or
her HP reaches 0, the character will avoid falling unconscious and continue
to fight. The HP display rolls quickly, however, and can only be taken
advantage of in later parts of the game.
d)Surviving Mortal Blows
When a party member receives damage greater than the amount of HP he or she
currently has, there is a slight chance the character will survive with 1
HP remaining. The probability of this occurring is increased with a higher
Guts attribute.
e)Battle Menu Options
"Bash/Shoot:" Use a party member's standard attack. "Bash" is displayed
when equipped with a melee weapon, while "shoot" is shown
when using a projectile weapon.
"Bash" attacks have some chance of getting SMAAAASH!! hits
that inflict greater damage. Generally, you can expect to
inflict two to three times more damage to most targets. The
probability of getting SMAAAASH!! hits is increased with a
higher Guts attribute.
"PSI:" Use a party member's PSI abilities. Information on PSI moves is
given in the section "3.PSI Information."
"Goods:" Open a character's inventory. Each party member can only use items
held in their inventory during battle.
"Defend:" Spend a turn defending instead of attacking. While defending,
damage inflicted by some (but not all) physical attacks is
reduced by 50%. Damage inflicted by PSI attacks is not affected.
"Defend" does not seem to work against the following attacks:
Jeff's "shoot"
Jeff's Heavy Bazooka
Bottle Rockets (all types)
Bombs
Super Bombs
"peck at your eyes"
"fire a beam"
"biting attack"
"utilize a paint attack"
"take a bite using its poisonous fangs"
"bite you hard"
"charge forward"
"tear into you"
"growl and lunge forward"
"stomp with its huge foot"
"jab with a spear"
"burst into flames" (death action)
"explode into bits" (death action)
"Run Away:" Attempt to escape a battle. This is not guaranteed to work, and
important fights cannot be escaped from. You have a greater
chance of running away from slower enemies than from faster
ones, and your odds of success increase the more rounds you
spend in a fight.
"Auto Fight:" Let the computer control your party during a battle. The
computer will often rely on standard attacks and only use PSI
when someone is heavily injured or is afflicted by a status
effect such as poison.
6.Status Attributes and What They Mean
This section explains what each status attribute means and how they affect
a character's fighting abilities.
a)Offense
Determines the amount of damage the character's physical attacks
inflict. The higher the number, the greater the damage.
b)Defense
Determines the amount of damage suffered from physical attacks. The
higher the number, the less damage a character will incur. Defense does
not reduce damage inflicted by PSI attacks, such as Freeze or Fire.
c)Speed
Determines the order of turns in battle. Usually the character with a
higher Speed will attack before a slower character, though this is not
always the case when Speed values are close to each other.
Characters with higher Speed also seem to dodge enemy attacks more often
and are more resistant to Bottle Rockets. Bottle Rockets seem to inflict
less damage or not work at all on faster targets.
d)Guts
Determines the chance a "bash" attack will be a SMAAAASH!! hit or the
chance a party member will survive a mortal blow with only 1 HP left.
The higher the value, the better the chances.
e)Vitality
Determines how much a character's max HP increases when leveling up.
When Vitality increases, the character's max HP will increase
significantly:
Vitality increase max HP increase
----------------- ---------------
0 0~3
1 4~20
2 20~30
3 30~45
The above values are estimated and may vary. Generally speaking, max HP
is about 15 times Vitality (e.g. if Ness has 10 vitality, he should have
about 150 max HP).
f)IQ
Similar to Vitality, only it affects max PP. The relationship between IQ
increase and max PP increase is as follows:
IQ increase max PP increase
----------- ---------------
0 0~2
1 3~7
2 8~20
The above values are estimated and may vary. Generally speaking, max PP
is about 5 times IQ (an exception to this rule is for Ness near the end
of the game, during which his max PP is about 10 times his IQ).
g)Luck
Luck determines the success rate of some PSI moves and items. Characters
with higher Luck are more likely to avoid taking damage or being
affected by moves such as Defense Down or items such the Counter-PSI
Unit (source: starmen.net).
7.Town Services
Almost every town in the game offers the following services:
a)Drugstore/Shop/Marketplace
Drugstores in EarthBound not only offer medicine but also weapons, armor,
food, and whatever else your party might use. You can also sell
nonessential items you have at a 50% markdown.
When buying weapons or armor, your party members' HP/PP windows will either
flash, stay the same, or dim. A flashing HP/PP window means the selected
item will improve the character's stats; otherwise, the window will stay
the same. A dimmed HP/PP window means the character cannot equip or use the
selected item.
b)Hotel
Hotels are where conscious party members can sleep to restore HP and PP.
Hotel in towns that appear later in the game are usually more expensive
than in earlier towns, though some places allow you to sleep for free.
Unconscious party members will not be charged.
c)Hospital
Hospitals will cure any ailments and revive unconscious party members for a
fee. Hospitals in towns that appear later in the game generally charge more
than in earlier towns, though some places will provide treatment for free.
For a list of ailments, see the section "2.Status Effects."
The people in a typical Hospital are:
Receptionist: Talk to the receptionist near the entrance of most Hospitals
to revive someone unconscious.
Doctor: Doctors will cure ailments that can presumably be treated at a
real-life Hospital. Doctors can treat colds, poison, nausea, and
sunstroke.
Healer: The blue-haired Healers cure status effects Doctors do not. Their
treatments include "soften" (cures diamondization), "restore
feeling" (paralysis), and "purify" (possession).
The Healer will cure mushroomization as well. When he sees a
mushroom growing on someone's head, the Healer will ask you if he
can remove and keep the mushroom for $50. (Mushrooms are commonly
eaten in Japan, where one particular species is considered a
delicacy; I can only assume the Healer plans to eat the head-
cultivated mushroom.)
d)ATM
Almost every Hotel and Store has an ATM from which you can withdraw or
deposit money. Money is earned by defeating enemies, and your balance will
automatically increase as you win fights. Money deposited in an ATM will
not decrease as long as a withdrawal is not made, though cash carried on
hand will be cut in half when the party loses a battle.
e)Telephone/Pay Phone
You can use a telephone to call family members or request commercial
services. Phones are found in almost every Hotel and Store, though phones
in most shops cost $1 per call (free phones are black; pay phones are tan).
The people you can call are:
Dad: Call Ness's dad to save your game, learn how much exp. points each
party member needs to level up, and view your ATM balance.
Mom: Call Ness's mom when Ness is homesick to make him feel better
(see section "2.Status Effects" for info).
Escargo Express: Escargo Express allows you to store unneeded items to free
some space in the party's inventory. Ness's mom will teach
you their number the first time you call her.
Call Escargo Express to request a deliveryman to either
pickup or drop off items. The deliveryman can carry up to
three items and will charge $18 every time he meets the
party. Deliveries can only be made outdoors.
Mach Pizza: Mach Pizza shops can be found in the early towns of the game.
Go inside and talk to the cashier to learn their number.
Call Mach Pizza to order either a small "Pizza" or a "Large
Pizza" (medium pizzas are always sold out). Small Pizzas
recover 120 HP for a single person, while Large Pizzas recover
240 HP for the entire party. Delivery takes about 3 minutes.

III.General Information and Strategies
*******************************************************************************
1.Party Members
a)Ness
The main character of the game is also arguably the strongest party
member, with good survivability and a strong standard attack. Ness's
high Offense and Guts make his "bash" attack effective even in boss
battles, and his high Vitality gives him a large reservoir of HP to help
him survive tough fights and stay alive longer on the field. His
resilience also makes him a reliable healer, since he has the ability to
learn the PSI moves Lifeup and Healing to keep his friends alive and
heal most ailments.
Ness's main weakness is his low to mediocre Speed. His slowness means he
will usually go last or second to the last among the party members, and
he may sometimes fail to save someone's life in time if one of his
friends is low on HP or mortally wounded.
Ness's offensive PSI is somewhat lacking as well. He has only one attack
that inflicts damage to enemies, but this move can drain Ness's PP if
you're not careful and occasionally fail to work. Only one version of
this move (the beta version) is good enough for general use--the others
are either too expensive or too weak. Hence, it's often better to save
Ness's PP for Lifeup and Healing and use his PSI attacks only against
bosses and groups of enemies.
Give Ness all your Guts Capsules to increase the likelihood of getting
SMAAAASH!! hits, and equip him with the Night Pendant to protect him
from Flash; given the effectiveness of Ness's "bash," it will hinder
your party if he starts uncontrollably crying. Furthermore, you do not
want him to be instantly defeated since he has the best chance of
reviving or healing everybody else.
b)Paula
Paula is the main PSI attacker in your party. She will act as your main
line of attack against most bosses and make short work of some of the
strongest normal enemies you will encounter. As such, you will want to
keep Paula well protected and have her alive, or else you may find
yourself severely handicapped in tough fights. You can think of Ness and
Paula as forming the anchor of the party, with each character's
strengths making up for the other's weaknesses well.
Unlike Ness, Paula's stats are not very balanced. Her Offense, Defense,
and Vitality are all low, making her more vulnerable to defeat and her
"bash" attack less effective. To help Paula stay alive, equip her with
your best defensive items and give her any Vital Capsules you find to
offset her low HP. Protect her from Thunder and Fire attacks with the
Franklin Badge and the Flame Pendant as well. Take these measures and
Paula should have no trouble surviving.
Paula's strong points are her Speed and IQ. Her high PP count allows her
to use PSI attacks often, and her high Speed is critical when you need
to put up a shield to defend against powerful enemy PSI attacks.
Consider giving her IQ Capsules if you find her running low on PP. Give
her Speed Capsules as well or equip her with armor that increases Speed
if she is not able to put up a shield in time to protect her friends
from Fire and Starstorm.
Paula's special ability is the "pray" command, a move that causes some
random effect that can either help you or hurt you. Use this ability
only in desperate situations and as a last resort. The different prayer
effects are as follows:
Subtle light: Recovers 6% of max HP for all allies. This seems to
occur the most often.
Warm light: Recovers 12% of max HP for all allies.
Golden light: Recovers full HP for a single ally.
Mysterious light: Recovers minuscule PP for all allies.
Dazzling light(type 1): Flash[alpha] on all allies and enemies. The
battle dialogue window will describe this
light as enveloping Ness and his friends.
Dazzling light(type 2): Moderate damage to a single enemy. The battle
dialogue window will describe this light as
chasing an enemy.
Mysterious aroma: Puts all allies and enemies to sleep--success rate
is high.
Heaven rending sound: Makes all allies and enemies feel strange--
success rate is high.
Heavy air: Slightly decreases the Defense of all allies and enemies
for the duration of the battle.
Rainbow colored light: Revives all unconscious allies and defeated
enemies to full HP.
c)Jeff
Jeff is a scientific whizz kid who can repair broken items and use tools
that no other party member can use. He is unable to use PSI, but his
items are usually useful enough to compensate for this disadvantage. In
particular, he can utilize guns, bazookas, and Bottle Rockets, which are
one-time use weapons that can inflict anywhere from 150 to over 1000 HP
of damage depending on the type of rocket used.
Jeff's role in the party is a bit hard to define. He can be the party's
main attacker and heavy hitter, or play an assisting role by
debilitating enemies with status effects. His gun weapons can boost his
Offense to the second highest or sometimes even the highest among his
friends, making his standard attack a good complement to Ness's "bash"
against most normal enemies. His "shoot" has a higher accuracy than
standard "bash" attacks and its damage is not reduced by shields, though
it cannot get any SMAAAASH!! hits.
In boss fights, his ability to use Bottle Rockets will make him the
biggest offensive force you have. Bottle Rockets are sold throughout the
game at a reasonable price, and they inflict enough damage to take away
about half of most bosses' HP. None of his other tools are as powerful
but are useful in other situations. I describe each of his items in the
section "4.Jeff's Tools."
Most of Jeff's best weapons can only be obtained by repairing broken
items. All broken items require Jeff to have an IQ above a certain level
to be fixed, and Jeff will automatically repair something if possible
when the party rests. Information on how much IQ Jeff needs to repair
each item is available in the walkthrough.
There is no guarantee that Jeff will repair an item even if his IQ meets
or exceeds the requirement, so try to rest at someplace free when you
want him to repair something. Many repaired or broken items cannot be
thrown away and can only be given to Escargo Express if you want to get
rid of them.
Jeff's main weakness is Speed, and he will almost always go last or
second to the last among his friends. His Vitality is also the second
lowest in the party, making him somewhat vulnerable against stronger
enemies but still manageable compared to Paula. Equip Jeff with your
second best defensive items to keep him alive.
Jeff's special ability is the "spy" command. In addition to revealing
the target enemy's Offense and Defense stats, spying on an enemy can
reveal and automatically take any item the enemy is carrying. Spying
will also reveal any PSI attacks the target is susceptible to. "Spy" on
an enemy before using status affecting PSI attacks such as Hypnosis or
Brainshock because those moves are unlikely to work against enemies not
vulnerable to them.
d)Poo
Poo can be thought of as a recovery support character who is superior to
Ness in some ways in keeping everyone alive. Like Ness, he can learn
both Lifeup and Healing and has high max HP, but his PSI Magnet allows
him to maintain PP longer on the field and his high Speed makes him your
best bet when you want to recover someone mortally wounded. He is also
the only character you have able to learn Healing[omega], the only PSI
move that can completely revive someone unconscious.
Unless you take the time to level Poo up, you may find some of his stats
low until late in the game. In particular, his "bash" will likely
inflict little damage, and his moderate max PP means he'll have to use
PSI Magnet often in longer dungeons and caves to keep using PSI.
For these reasons, give Poo offensive items, such as Super Bombs, the
Snake Bag, and the Monkey's Love, and use them when his standard attack
isn't effective. Save his attack PSI for bosses for the most part.
Do not equip Poo with the same weapons and armor the other party members
use; they will actually decrease Poo's stats. There are only four items
Poo should equip: the Sword of Kings, the Cloak of Kings, the Bracer of
Kings, and the Diadem of Kings. Only the Sword of Kings can be difficult
to get; the others are found in gift boxes.
Do not give Poo most food items because they will only recover about 6
of his HP. Only a few food items work for Poo, and they are actually
better for him than for everyone else. These items are:
Brain Food Lunch : recovers about 600 HP and 100 PP
Bottle of Water : recovers about 10 PP
Bottle of DXwater : recovers about 40 PP
Medicinal items, such as the Secret Herb, and other PP recovery items
work normally for Poo.
Poo's special ability is "mirror," which allows him to acquire an
enemy's stats and moves. Its success rate is about 50%, though it does
not work on bosses and on stronger enemies. The only worthwhile use I
have found for "mirror" is using it on enemies that can recover HP
without using PP. Otherwise, most enemies susceptible to "mirror" are
weaker than Poo anyway, and copying their abilities does not provide any
advantages.
2.Status Effects
This section gives information on the different status effects that may
hinder your party and how to deal with each. The suggestions I give here
pertain to the game in general and may be different in some situations.
The status effects are listed in alphabetical order.
The cures listed under each status effect are the most practical ways of
removing the status effect rather than all of them. Characters and objects
that cure all status effects for free such as the Saturn Valley doctor or
the Instant Revitalizing Machine are generally not mentioned.
a)cold
Effects: -inflicts 4 HP of damage each turn in battle
-inflicts 2 HP of damage every four seconds outside of battle
Cures: -Healing[alpha]
-use a Cold Remedy
Catching a cold is only a problem in one place early in the game. Use
Healing[alpha] outside of battle or after you have defeated any enemies
that can give you a cold to cure this status effect. If you have Cold
Remedies, use those up before using Healing when travelling away from
town.
b)crying
Effect: reduces the accuracy of a character's standard attack by 50%
Cures: -Healing[beta]
-end the battle
Ness and Jeff are hindered the most by crying. If you are fighting
normal enemies and only one person starts crying, it can usually be
ignored. If both Ness and Jeff start crying and you are fighting more
powerful enemies, either use PSI attacks to end the battle or use
Healing[beta] on Ness (Jeff can use the Heavy Bazooka if he has it when
crying).
This status effect does not seem to reduce the accuracy of some enemy
attacks, such as "tore into" or "lunge forward."
c)diamondize
Effect: completely incapacitates a target by turning it into a diamond
Cures: -Healing[gamma]
-use a Secret Herb, Cup of Lifenoodles, or a Horn of Life
Diamondization is equivalent to being unconscious, only HP is not
depleted and removing the status effect will restore the affected
character with the amount of HP he or she had when diamondized. Use
Healing[gamma], a Secret Herb, or a Cup of Lifenoodles to recover anyone
diamondized as soon as possible.
d)feel strange
Effect: affected character will sometimes target a random character--
self, friend, or foe--with whatever move used
Cures: -Healing[beta]
-receive damage
-end the battle
Feeling strange is not much of a problem if only one person is affected
by it. In those cases, ignore it and have the affected character
"defend" or stick with standard attacks.
Some enemies later in the game can make multiple party members feel
strange. If both Ness and Poo are feeling strange, use Paula's most
powerful PSI attack to end the fight.
e)homesick
Effect: Ness randomly waste turns in battle
Cure: call Ness's mom
This status effect occurs rarely but randomly. Call or talk to Ness's
mom when you have the chance to cure homesickness.
As far as I know, there is no other way to get rid of homesickness.
Regularly calling Ness's mom does not prevent homesickness either.
f)mushroomize
Effects: -equivalent to feeling strange in battle
-rotates* movement control outside of battle
Cures: -talk to the Healer in any Hospital
-talk to the man in Twoson Hotel
-talk to the girl in Peaceful Rest Valley
-wade in a hot spring
Mushroomization is much worse than feeling strange because it persists
outside of battle and cannot be healed by PSI or items. The best course
of action is to defeat mushroom enemies first in any battle. Luckily,
this status effect is only a problem at three places in the game.
If someone becomes mushroomized, get rid of the mushroom before
venturing into dangerous territory if possible or avoid having the
affected character use strong attacks.
* If a party member is mushroomized, your movement controls will change
after a few seconds. From what I can tell, the button assignments on
the control pad seem to rotate either to the left, to the right, or by
180 degrees. For example, if the button assignments rotate to the
right, the control pad will work like this:
UP = move left
RIGHT = move up
DOWN = move right
LEFT = move down
g)nausea
Effects: -inflicts 16~24 HP of damage each turn in battle
-inflicts 10 HP of damage every two seconds outside of battle
Cures: -Healing[beta]
-use a Refreshing Herb
Heal anyone nauseous with Healing[beta] or a Refreshing Herb outside of
battle or after the enemy that causes nausea is defeated.
h)numb/paralysis
Effects: renders a character unable to physically attack, use items, or
"defend;" PSI is still usable
Cures: -Healing[gamma]
-use a Secret Herb
Use Healing[gamma] or a Secret Herb on anyone paralyzed as soon as
possible. Equipping items such as the Travel Charm or the Great Charm
can provide protection from Paralysis but not numbness caused by Flash.
i)poison
Effects: -inflicts 16~24 HP of damage each turn in battle
-inflicts 10 HP of damage every two seconds outside of battle
Cures: -Healing[beta]
-use a Refreshing Herb
Use Healing[beta] or a Refreshing Herb outside of battle or after any
enemies that can inflict poison are defeated to cure poison.
j)possess
Effect: a Tiny Li'l Ghost possesses a party member; the ghost
participates in every battle and attacks a party member each
round
Cures: -Healer in any Hospital
-Saturn Valley doctor
There are very few enemies that can possess a party member, and
possession is more of a nuisance than a real threat. The Tiny Li'l Ghost
has two attacks: a standard attack that usually inflicts only 1 HP of
damage and a "reach out with its icy hand" attack that can solidify one
person. The ghost has high Speed and usually attacks first in each
round, even in battles near the end of the game when the party is at
higher levels. Only one Tiny Li'l Ghost can follow the party at a time,
even if multiple characters are possessed.
There are only a few ways to get rid of a Tiny Li'l Ghost. The easiest
way is to go to a healer, who is found in all Hospitals, and select the
"purify" option. The price the healer charges depends on the location;
the later a location appears in the game, the higher the cost of the
healer's services. You can also go to the doctor in Saturn Valley and
have the ghost removed for free.
Special attacks or PSI moves that target the entire party, such as
Starstorm or Fire, will also damage the ghost and may defeat it, though
PSI shields that protect the entire party will also protect the ghost.
The Tiny Li'l Ghost has about 100 HP.
k)sleep
Effect: incapacitates a character for a few rounds
Cures: -Healing[alpha]
-receive damage
-end the battle
Sleep is usually nothing to worry about and can be ignored. It is rare
for multiple party members to fall asleep, but try to use Healing[alpha]
on one of the affected characters if possible. Someone who's fallen
asleep may wake up if physically attacked.
l)solidify
Effect: incapacitates a character for a single turn (occasionally more)
Cure: -wait 1 or 2 rounds
-end the battle
Solidification poses a minor threat and can be ignored. It usually lasts
for only one turn, but attacks such as the Arachnid!'s spider silk can
immobilize a target for two or more turns. There is no way to heal
solidification.
m)sunstroke
Effects: -inflicts 4 HP of damage each turn in battle
-inflicts 2 HP of damage every four seconds outside of battle
Cures: Healing[alpha]
Check for sunstroke when in a desert by pressing the B button or SELECT.
Sunstroke can only occur if you see beads of sweat spouting from the
party. Don't buy or keep Wet Towels for healing sunstrokes; Healing
[alpha] is sufficient.
n)unable to concentrate
Effect: affected character cannot use PSI for four rounds
Cures: end the battle
You will rarely, if ever, see someone become unable to concentrate. Only
a few enemies can cause this status effect, and attacks that disrupt
concentration tend to have low success rates.
3.PSI Information
OFFENSE
a)PSI Rockin (or whatever you name as your "favorite thing")
PSI Rockin is Ness's special PSI attack. It inflicts significant damage
to all enemies on screen.
PSI Rockin is undoubtedly powerful, but it can be a drain on Ness's PP
and becomes less useful when Paula joins Ness and offers a more
versatile set of PSI attacks. Try to conserve Ness's PP for recovery PSI
instead for the most part. Don't use PSI Rockin except in boss fights
and against groups of normal enemies, and stick with PSI Rockin[beta]
for its low cost and decent damage.
This attack will sometimes fail to work: the higher the target's Speed,
the more likely PSI Rockin will fail (source: starmen.net). Generally,
PSI Rockin's success rate is close to 100% and the chance of failure is
usually not a big deal.
Counter: There are only two enemies that can use PSI Rockin. I will
discuss them in the walkthrough below.
-alpha
Level Learned: Ness (8)
Damage: 45~120 HP
The alpha version of PSI Rockin is useful during the beginning of the
game before Paula joins Ness. Use it in early boss fights and when you
are overpowered by a group of enemies.
-beta
Level Learned: Ness (22)
Damage: 110~260 HP
This move is the most cost-effective version of PSI Rockin and is
useful against groups of enemies and bosses for much of the game. Go
with this move for general use even after PSI Rockin[gamma] and [omega]
are learned.
-gamma
Level Learned: Ness (49)
Damage: 190~450 HP
PSI Rockin[gamma] and [omega] are usually too costly to use until the
very end of the game. Only use this attack once or twice against bosses
or in emergencies.
-omega
Level Learned: Ness (75)
Damage: 430~920 HP
b)Flash
Flash randomly causes all enemies on screen to start uncontrollably
crying, feel strange, become paralyzed, or be instantly defeated. Some
enemies are vulnerable to Flash and will always be affected, while
others are resistant (use Jeff's "spy" ability to check enemy PSI
vulnerabilities).
The alpha and beta versions of Flash will most likely cause
uncontrollable crying. Hypothetically, this should be useful against
enemies that rely on physical attacks, but from my experience enemies
are not hindered enough by crying for Flash[alpha] and [beta] to help
that much.
The gamma and omega versions of Flash have a slightly greater chance of
instantly defeating an enemy and can be used as an initial attack to
soften up a group of foes. Unfortunately, the PP cost and unreliable
success rate of Flash limit its usefulness, and better alternatives are
usually available.
Counter: PSI Shield[sigma] will usually suffice. Even if you are
affected by a status ailment, it is not necessary to heal in
all cases. The Night Pendant will provide immunity to Flash and
one can be found near the middle of the game; equip it on Ness.
Note that enemy moves equivalent to Flash, such as "emit a
glorious light," can only be defended against with Flash
protective items and not a PSI Shield.
-alpha

Success Rate: depends on target

-omega
Level Learned: Ness (67)
Success Rate: depends on target
Status Effects: crying (~35%)
feel strange (~10%)
paralysis (~15%)

c)Fire
Fire inflicts mediocre damage to an entire row of enemies. Some enemies
are vulnerable to Fire and receive extra damage, while others are
resistant or almost immune.
Use Fire when you want to soften up a row of enemies susceptible to
Fire. Follow that up with "bash" attacks to take out multiple enemies in
a single round. Fire can also be used as an alternative PSI attack
against bosses resistant to Freeze.
The low cost-effectiveness and underwhelming damage of Fire against
enemies not vulnerable to it makes this move less useful later in the
game. Once learned, use Thunder[gamma] instead of Fire against groups of
neutral targets.
Counter: PSI Shield[sigma] will suffice. Fire protective equipment (e.g.
the Flame Pendant) can greatly help in protecting Paula and
Jeff who have low HP. Note that Fire equivalent attacks, such
as "breathe fire," cannot be defended against with a PSI Shield
but damage will be reduced by Fire protective items.
-alpha
Level Learned: Paula (3)
Damage: 25~40 HP
NOTE: damage may be as high as 100 HP or as low as 4 HP
depending on the target; unprotected party members
will take the maximum amount of damage (~80 HP)
Success Rate: 100%
-beta
Level Learned: Paula (19)
Damage: 50~80 HP
NOTE: damage may be as high as 200 HP or as low as 6 HP

Damage: 100~160 HP
NOTE: damage may be has high as 375 HP or as low as 13 HP
depending on the target; ~320 HP to party
Success Rate: 100%
d)Freeze
Freeze inflicts significant damage to a single target and has a 25%
chance of causing solidification (source: starmen.net). Some enemies are
vulnerable to Freeze and suffer extra damage, while others are resistant
or almost immune.
Freeze is arguably the most useful PSI attack in the game because of its
low PP cost and effectiveness against bosses. Use Freeze when Paula or
Poo's standard attack is weak or against strong enemies that give you
trouble. For enemies resistant to Freeze, Fire will usually be the best
alternative.
Counter: Only a few enemies can use Freeze. Use PSI Shield[sigma] for
protection or defeat the enemy as quickly as possible.
-alpha
Level Learned: Paula (1)
Poo (15)
Damage: 55~90 HP
NOTE: damage may be as high as 200 HP or as low as 7 HP
depending on the target; unprotected party members
will take the maximum amount of damage (~180 HP)
Success Rate: 100%
Status Effects: Solidify (25%)
The low PP cost and high offensive power of Freeze[alpha] make it
effective against normal enemies in the early and middle parts of the
game.
-beta
Level Learned: Paula (11)
Poo (15)
Damage: 110~180 HP
NOTE: damage may be as high as 390 HP or as low as 18 HP
depending on the target; ~360 HP to party
Success Rate: 100%

Poo (33)
Damage: 170~250 HP

Status Effects: Solidify (25%)
-omega
Level Learned: Paula (46)
Damage: 230~350 HP
NOTE: damage may be as high as 860 HP or as low as 30 HP
depending on the target; ~720 HP to party
Success Rate: 100%
Status Effects: Solidify (25%)
e)Thunder
Depending on what version of this attack you use, Thunder will summon 1
to 4 lightning bolts that either hit a random target or hit nothing at
all. The probability that any single bolt will strike something
increases with the number of enemies on screen (source: starmen.net):
1 enemy: 25%
2 enemies: 50%
3 enemies: 75%
4+ enemies: 100%
Thunder will also eliminate any PSI Shield a target is protected with in
one strike, though PSI Shield[beta] and [omega] will reflect damage
before disappearing.
Use Thunder[gamma] against groups of enemies not vulnerable to Fire
or as a low-cost alternative to Starstorm. Based on the above numbers,
you should probably only use Thunder when facing 3 or more enemies.
Thunder[gamma] is probably the only worthwhile version of this move to
use. Thunder[alpha] and [beta] only summon 1 and 2 bolts respectively
and don't hit enough targets to be very reliable, while Thunder[omega]
is both less damaging and less cost-effective than Starstorm without
being much cheaper in PP cost.
Counter: The best protection is the Franklin Badge, which should be kept
in Paula's inventory for the most part. PSI Shields should
usually not be necessary. Note that a PSI shield will not
protect against Thunder equivalent attacks such as "Electrical
shock attack."
-alpha
Level Learned: Paula (8)

Damage: 65~170 HP per bolt
Success Rate: see above

Success Rate: see above
-omega
Level Learned: Poo (55)
Effect: summons 4 lightning bolts; eliminates PSI shields on hit
Damage: 115~280 HP per bolt
Success Rate: see above
f)Starstorm
Like Ness's PSI Rockin, Poo's Starstorm inflicts significant damage to
all enemies on screen. Starstorm is a little better than PSI Rockin,
however, since Starstorm has a 100% success rate, has smaller damage
spread, and costs less PP. Unfortunately, Poo also has less PP than
Ness does, and this attack is still costly to use. Use Starstorm only in
emergencies. It is usually better to conserve Poo's PP for recovery in
normal battles and for Freeze in boss battles.
Counter: Always use PSI Shield[sigma] or [omega] when facing an enemy
that can use Starstorm, and be sure that Paula has sufficient
Speed to go before the enemy attacks. If Paula does not have
enough Speed to put up a shield in time, equip her with the
Rabbit's Foot found in the Seventh Sanctuary Cave. If you do
get hit by Starstorm, use Lifeup[omega] or give priority to
recovering Ness and Poo before their HP counters reach 0 (Ness
will likely survive this attack most of the time). Those two
characters can then revive Paula and Jeff.
-alpha
Level Learned: n/a (Poo learns at a certain point in the game)
Damage: 300~435 HP
Success Rate: 100%
-omega
Level Learned: n/a (ditto)
Damage: 580~860 HP
Success Rate: 100%
RECOVER
a)Lifeup
Lifeup will restore any lost HP and keep you alive. It is an essential
move, and how you use it can make the difference between victory and
defeat in battle.
At low levels when Ness has little PP, you will get into trouble if Ness
cannot use Lifeup while in dangerous territory. To avoid wasting PP, try
to think one or two rounds ahead in battle and estimate the maximum
possible damage your enemies can inflict, taking into account the
likelihood that Ness or the enemy will attack first. Estimate the
minimum amount of HP you should have in this way and use Lifeup when
someone's HP falls below this minimum.
If you have any food items, use those up before resorting to Lifeup
while away from a town. Save your best food items for recovery during
battle and use your weakest food items to recover after fights.
In later parts of the game, when estimating minimum HP values becomes
difficult, just use common sense and utilize Lifeup often. Once Poo
joins the party, have him use Lifeup instead of Ness when possible
because Poo has higher Speed and can use PSI Magnet to recover PP. Take
advantage of the rolling HP counter as well, and avoid using Lifeup
until someone's HP falls at least below 150 or 200.
Counter: A lot of enemies can use Lifeup[alpha], but it's usually not a
big problem. Just concentrate your attacks on one target at a
time.
-alpha
Level Learned: Ness (2)
Poo (15)
Recovery: 80~120 HP
Food items such as the Hamburger are good alternatives to Lifeup[alpha]
in the early parts of the game. Always carry some food for those long
walks away from town.
-beta
Level Learned: Ness (20)
Poo (15)
Recovery: 235~365 HP
-gamma
Level Learned: Ness (39)
Poo (46)
Recovery: max HP
-omega
Level Learned: Ness (70)
Recovery: 315~465 HP for all allies
Lifeup[omega] is useful when the entire party has been hit by a PSI
move such as Starstorm or Fire.
b)Healing
Healing will remove a single status effect from one person. Not all
status effects can be treated with Healing, but the number of ailments
that Healing can cure increases with each successive version of this
move.
The rule for using Healing is simple: use the move that heals an ailment
with the lowest PP cost. Listed below are the status effects each
version of Healing should be used to cure.
A few items can act as alternatives to Healing: Refreshing Herbs to cure
poison and nausea, Secret Herbs for paralysis and diamondization, and
Cups of Lifenoodles and Horns of Life for reviving someone unconscious.
Buy one or two of these items when they're available if Ness or Poo have
not learned Healing moves that cure the above ailments.
Counter: The only time Healing should give you trouble is when enemies
use Healing[omega] to revive an already defeated enemy.
Fortunately, this happens rarely and only near the end of the
game.
-alpha
Level Learned: Ness (10)
Poo (15)
Recovery: cold, sleep, sunstroke
-beta
Level Learned: Ness (24)
Poo (15)
Recovery: poison, nausea, feeling strange, uncontrollable crying
-gamma
Level Learned: Ness (53)
Poo (36)
Recovery: unconscious (25% of max HP), diamondized, paralysis
Healing[gamma] can revive someone unconscious and restore 25% of their
HP. There is some chance of failure, however, and this move is best
used to revive someone outside of battle.
-omega
Level Learned: Poo (52)
Recovery: unconscious (full HP)
Healing[omega] will recover someone unconscious and restore full HP
with a 100% success rate. Use this move when reviving someone in
battle.
c)PSI Magnet
PSI Magnet will transfer some PP from enemies to the user of this move.
Use PSI Magnet against enemies that do not pose much of a threat (e.g.
paralyzed enemies) or when Paula or Poo's "bash" attack is ineffective.
I find that using this move and Magic Butterflies are better than using
PP recovery food items. PSI Magnet is mostly useless as an offensive
weapon because most powerful PSI using enemies have a lot of PP.
Counter: PSI Magnet is only a problem when Ness is at low levels. Defeat
any enemy that can use PSI Magnet as soon as possible when away
from town to avoid being left stranded without PP.
-alpha
Level Learned: Paula (15)
Poo (21)
Effect: drains 2 to 8 PP from a single target
-omega
Level Learned: Paula (24)
Poo (27)
Effect: drains 2 to 8 PP from all enemy targets
PSI Magnet[omega] can be very effective when facing a group of PSI
using enemies.
ASSIST
a)Shield
Shield provides protection from some forms of physical attacks. All
versions of Shield reduce damage by 50%, but [beta] and [omega] also
reflect 50% of inflicted damage. The battle command "defend" can be used
with Shield to reduce damage even further.
Each use of Shield protects from three physical attacks (up to a maximum
of eight attacks), but shields that reflect and shields that don't
cannot be used together. For example, using Shield[alpha] and then
Shield[beta] on the same character will give you a reflecting shield
that protects from three hits rather than six. Note that a SMAAAASH!!
hit will eliminate a Shield in one hit.
Shield does not reduce damage inflicted by all physical attacks, though
[beta] and [omega] always reflect physical damage. Attacks such as
"charge forward" and Jeff's "shoot" inflict the same damage whether a
character is shielded or not, but the same percentage of damage is
reflected by Shield[beta] and [omega]. Here is a list of attacks that
Shield does not seem to affect:
Jeff's "shoot"
Jeff's Heavy Bazooka
Bottle Rockets (all types)
Bombs
Super Bombs
Bag of Dragonite
"peck at your eyes"
"fire a beam"
"biting attack"
"utilize a paint attack"
"take a bite using its poisonous fangs"
"bite you hard"
"charge forward"
"tear into you"
"growl and lunge forward"
"stomp with its huge foot"
"jab with a spear"
"burst into flames" (death action; no reflection)
"explode into bits" (death action; no reflection)
The battle command "defend" also does not seem to work against these
moves.
Counter: Some later enemies have Shield[alpha] or [beta] on them from
the beginning of battle. Use Jeff's Neutralizer or his Shield
Killer to eliminate shields or use Freeze to bypass them.
-alpha
Level Learned: Ness (12)

b)PSI Shield
PSI Shield provides protection from PSI attacks. Unlike Shield, PSI
Shield absorbs all damage inflicted by PSI, and PSI Shield[beta] and
[omega] reflect 100% of damage back to the PSI user. The shield does
not protect against Assist or Recovery PSI moves or the PSI equivalent
attacks listed below:
"emit a glorious light" -- equivalent to Flash[omega]
"spew out a flaming fireball" -- Fire
"breathe fire" -- Fire
"shoot out a spray of fire" -- Fire
"crashing boom bang attack" -- Thunder[beta]
"electrical shock attack" -- Thunder[beta]
Only PSI protective items, such as the Franklin Badge, the Night
Pendant, or the Sea Pendant, will protect against the above moves.
Each use of PSI Shield protects from three PSI attacks, up to a maximum
of eight attacks. Shields that reflect damage and shields that don't
cannot be used together.
There is only one PSI Shield move that I find generally useful, and that
is PSI Shield[sigma]. The other moves either do not offer enough
protection or cost too much PP, though PSI Shield[omega] can be
devastating to Starstorm users.
Counter: PSI Shield does not cause as much trouble as Shield does
because most enemies can be defeated with standard "bash"
attacks. If you ever want to eliminate an enemy's PSI Shield,
use Jeff's Neutralizer or Shield Killer. Be warned that some
enemies are protected with a reflecting PSI shield from the
start of a fight, and using a PSI attack against them will
likely hurt you badly.
-alpha

Effect: protects a single character
-beta
Level Learned: Paula (51)
Effect: protects a single character
Reflection: 100% of damage

Level Learned: Paula (27)
Effect: protects all allies
I suggest you mostly use PSI Shield[sigma] to defend against PSI
attacks.
-omega
Level Learned: Paula (60)
Effect: protects all allies
Reflection: 100% of damage
PSI Shield[omega] costs too much PP for general use. The damage
reflection can be useful against some enemies that use Starstorm, but
most enemies shouldn't require the 42 PP cost.
c)Hypnosis
Hypnosis can make someone fall asleep. Characters that are asleep cannot
do anything until they wake up after a random number of rounds or after
being attacked. Some enemies are vulnerable to Hypnosis while others are
resistant or immune.
Hypnosis can be helpful when facing a group of enemies. If an enemy is
susceptible to Hypnosis, putting that enemy to sleep can reduce the
number of foes you have to deal with while you concentrate on defeating
its cohorts. As with most status affecting PSI moves, use Hypnosis only
against enemies that are vulnerable to it (use Jeff's "spy" command to
see an enemy's PSI vulnerabilities). Because an enemy can wake up if
attacked, Hypnosis is not very helpful in battles against a single
enemy.
Counter: Sleep can usually be ignored; use Healing[alpha] if you need to
wake someone up.
-alpha
Level Learned: Ness (4)
Effect: targets a single character
Success Rate: depends on target
The low PP cost of Hypnosis[alpha] makes it useful through the entire
game. Use this move if you are trying to Hypnotize an enemy.
-omega
Level Learned: Ness (27)
Effect: targets all enemies
Success Rate: depends on target
It's usually not necessary to put multiple enemies to sleep, and
Hypnosis[omega] costs too much PP to use in most situations.
d)Paralysis
Paralysis can cause someone to become numb and immobile. Paralyzed
characters cannot physically attack or use items, though PSI can still
be used.
Paralysis can be a potent move because paralyzed enemies waste most
turns doing nothing, and some powerful enemies are vulnerable to it.
Unfortunately, like most status affecting moves, Paralysis has a low
success rate against many enemies, and you should usually check with
Jeff's "spy" (or a guide) to see if an enemy is susceptible to Paralysis
before using it.
Counter: The Travel Charm, Great Charm, and Crystal Charm can be
equipped for protection, but those items should be replaced
with Flash or Fire protective armor later in the game. Heal any
paralyzed party member with Healing[gamma] or a Secret Herb as
soon as possible.
-alpha
Level Learned: Ness (14)
Effect: targets a single character
Success Rate: depends on target
The low PP cost of Paralysis[alpha] makes it useful throughout the
entire game.
-omega
Level Learned: Ness (29)
Effect: targets all enemies
Success Rate: depends on target
Like Hypnosis[omega], Paralysis[omega] consumes too much PP to be cost-
effective and is mostly unnecessary.
e)Offense Up
Offense Up will increase someone's Offense. The increase in Offense is
cumulative with each successive use of this move, though it will only
have an effect the first four times it is used on any single target. The
first three uses will increase someones's Offense by 6% of his or her
current Offense. The boost dips to about 4~5% for the final fourth use.
Offense Up is not very useful because the increase in Offense it
provides does not make much of a difference. You're usually better off
attacking rather than investing in stats increases.
Counter: All stats increasing moves do not make much of a difference and
can be ignored.
-alpha
Level Learned: Paula (21)
Effect: increases the Offense of a single character
Offense Increase: 6% of current Offense the first three times
4~5% of current Offense the last fourth time

-omega
Level Learned: Paula (40)
Effect: increases the Offense of all allies
Offense Increase: 6% of current Offense the first three times
4~5% of current Offense the last fourth time
0 for the fifth time and after
f)Defense Down
Defense Down can decrease the Defense of any single target up to five
times. The first four times will decrease a target's Defense by 6% of
its current Defense. The decrease in Defense dips to about 4~5% for the
fifth time and drops to 0% thereafter.
The problem with Defense Down is the same as that of Offense Up, namely
the decrease in Defense is too small and using this move is mostly a
waste of turns.
Counter: All stats reducing attacks do not pose a threat and can be
ignored.
-alpha
Level Learned: Paula (29)
Effect: targets a single character
Success Rate: 80~100% (is lower for some targets)
Defense Decrease: 6% of current Defense the first four times

0 for the sixth time and after
-omega
Level Learned: Paula (54)
Effect: targets all enemies
Success Rate: 80~100% (is lower for some targets)
Defense Decrease: 6% of current Defense the first four times
4~5% of current Defense the last fifth time
0 for the sixth time and after
g)Brainshock
Brainshock can cause someone to feel strange and randomly target anyone,
including him or herself, with whatever move used. Characters feeling
strange will revert back to normal after a random number of rounds or
when attacked.
Brainshock is worthwhile to use only in a few places. Enemies
susceptible to Brainshock are usually pretty weak to begin with, and
anyone feeling strange can easily revert back to normal if physically
attacked.
Counter: There is not much you can do to prevent Brainshock other than
to quickly defeat any enemy that can use this move or an
equivalent attack. Whether or not you want to heal an affected
party member depends on the situation, though in general you
will want to have at least Ness or Paula fight unhindered.

4.Jeff's Tools
This section lists general information and strategies on items only usable
by Jeff. Items are listed in alphabetical order.
Generally speaking, the main drawback of most of Jeff's weapons is a low
success rate. Since most broken or repaired items cannot be discarded or
sold, give things you don't need to Escargo Express. Items Jeff should
hold on to are Big/Multi Bottle Rockets, the Slime Generator, the
Neutralizer, the Shield Killer, the Heavy Bazooka, and the Hungry HP-
sucker.
a)Bad Key Machine
Effect: opens certain locked doors
Obtained: Maxwell in Snow Wood Boarding House
The Bad Key Machine is not used once Jeff rescues Ness and Paula. Give
it to Escargo Express as soon as possible.
b)Bazooka
Damage: 50~120 HP
Peripheral Damage: 20~60 HP
Obtained: merchant in southern Scaraba (standing outside of the Pyramid
exit)
The Bazooka is not very useful because Jeff's "shoot" usually inflicts
more damage. Don't buy this weapon.
c)Big Bottle Rocket
Effect: damages a single target (usually about 500~700 HP); gone after
one use
Obtained: -arms dealer in the Fourside department store
-arms dealer in Scaraba Hotel
The Big Bottle Rocket can make many boss battles much easier. Its price
is cheap considering the damage it inflicts, and you should always keep
one or two of these in Jeff's inventory once they become available and
up until you are able to buy Multi Bottle Rockets. Note that enemies
with high Speed are resistant to this item (see Bottle Rocket section
below).
d)Bottle Rocket
Effect: damages a single target (usually about 100~200 HP); gone after
one use
Obtained: -arms dealer in Threed
-arms dealer in Dusty Dunes Desert
-Fourside Department Store
-arms dealer in Scaraba Hotel
The Bottle Rocket is only useful in a couple of boss fights. You should
not have to buy more than one or two before Big Bottle Rockets become
available.
Damage inflicted by this item and the Big/Multi Bottle Rocket is not
reduced by Shield, though damage can be reflected and inflict mortal
damage to Jeff. The effectiveness of Bottle Rockets seems to depend on
the target's Speed, with faster enemies receiving less damage or
avoiding damage altogether. Fortunately, the success rate against most
enemies is near 100%.
e)Counter-PSI Unit
Effect: renders a single target unable to use PSI for four rounds
Success Rate: depends on enemy (usually about 60%)
Obtained: repair the Broken Machine (1 IQ required), which can be found
in a trash can inside of Apple Kid's house
The success rate of the Counter-PSI Unit seems to vary significantly
depending on the enemy, and it does not work often against bosses or
powerful PSI users. It is mostly unnecessary and can be given to Escargo
Express.
f)Defense Shower
Effect: increases the entire party's Defense
Defense Increase: 6% of current defense the first three times
4~5% of current defense the last fourth time
0% for the fifth time and after
Obtained: repair the Broken Trumpet (40 IQ required), which can be found
near the end of the Stonehenge Base in Winters
The Defense Shower may be helpful if you encounter an enemy you are
unprepared to fight, though I have never felt the need to use it. If you
ever do use this item, use it multiple times for a cumulative effect.
Give it to Escargo Express if you don't need it.
g)Heavy Bazooka
Damage: 140~400 HP
Peripheral Damage: 70~200 HP
Obtained: repair the Broken Bazooka (45 IQ required), which can be found
in a trash can in the Fourside Sewers (the Fifth Sanctuary
Location)
The Heavy Bazooka is very useful because it usually inflicts more damage
than Jeff's "shoot" and will not miss even if Jeff is crying. Unless you
take the time to level up Jeff, the Heavy Bazooka will likely replace
Jeff's "shoot" until the end of the game.
h)HP-sucker
Effect: drains HP from a single target and gives it to Jeff
HP Drain: 10~20% of target's max HP
Success Rate: depends on enemy (usually about 70~100%)
Obtained: trash can in Master Belch's Factory
The HP drain of the HP-sucker is not significant, and it's usually
better to have Jeff "shoot" instead of use this item. You can sell it to
earn some money.
i)Hungry HP-sucker
Effect: drains HP from all enemies and gives it to Jeff
HP Drain: 10~20% of target's max HP
Success Rate: depends on enemy (usually about 70~100%)
Obtained: repair the Broken Tube (36 IQ required), which can be found in
a gift box in the Monkey Cave in Dusty Dunes Dessert
Use the Hungry HP-sucker rather than Lifeup for recovering Jeff when
facing multiple normal enemies. Only use this in boss fights when Jeff's
"shoot" doesn't inflict much damage, since the success rate of this item
against bosses can be very low.
j)Multi Bottle Rocket
Effect: damages a single target (usually 1000~2000 HP); gone after one
use
Obtained: -merchant in southern Scaraba (standing outside of Pyramid
exit)
-arms dealer in Deep Darkness
The Multi Bottle Rocket can make a few late game boss fights much
easier. It's only weakness is it's ineffectiveness against enemies with
high Speed, though most bosses do not have this characteristic (the
final bosses of the game being notable exceptions).
Always keep one or two Multi Bottle Rockets in Jeff's inventory once
they become available. The best place to buy them is from the arms
dealer in Deep Darkness.
k)Neutralizer
Obtained: gift box in the Monkey Cave in Dusty Dunes Desert
The Neutralizer will reset any stat changes that have occurred due to
PSI moves, such as Offense Up or Defense Down, or items, such as the
Defense Spray. This item will also remove any shields protecting enemies
and party members and has a 100% success rate.
The most useful function of the Neutralizer is it's ability to remove
shields, since some powerful bosses and enemies are protected with
reflecting shields. The Shield Killer, another one of Jeff's tools, can
also remove enemy shields, but it sometimes fails to work and only
affects one target at a time. I usually prefer the Neutralizer because
of its 100% success rate, though the Shield Killer can be used in
situations where you need a shield yourself.
l)Shield Killer
Effect: removes any shield protecting a single target
Success Rate: ~80%
Obtained: repair the Broken Pipe (30 IQ required), which can be found in
a gift box in the second floor of Dr. Andonuts's Lab
As mentioned above, the Shield Killer's main drawback is it occasionally
fails to work, though I usually keep both the Shield Killer and the
Neutralizer. Use the Shield Killer against shielded enemies that can
attack with Starstorm, Fire, or Flash while using the Neutralizer
against everything else.
m)Slime Generator
Effect: solidifies a single random target in battle
Success Rate: depends on enemy (usually about 60~100%)
Obtained: fix the Broken Iron (10 IQ required), which can be found in a
gift box in the Brick Road dungeon in Winters and in a trash
can in the Fourside Sewers; the Broken Iron can also be bought
at Burglin Park or from a dealer in northern Fourside
The success rate of the Slime Generator can be pretty high against some
strong enemies. Use this item in each round to pin down enemies and
prevent them from attacking.
5.Inventory Management
Inventory management is one of the more annoying things about this game
because each character can only carry a limited number of items. Here are
some steps that can make inventory management easier:
a)Use Escargo Express
If an unneeded item cannot be sold or discarded, call Escargo Express
and have it stored. You can learn Escargo Express's phone number by
calling Ness's mom over any telephone outside of Ness's house. Required
items that are only used once, such as the Backstage Pass, and many of
Jeff's repaired items should be given to Escargo Express.
b)Don't horde your food
Food items are common in the game and should be used when far from a
place to rest. Many food items don't recover enough HP to be useful
during a fight but can be used after battles to restore everyone's HP in
preparation for the next fight.
c)Get the "For Sale Sign"
Obtained: from the shaggy haired kid at Burglin Park in Twoson
This convenient item will summon a random customer to buy an item in
your inventory. Customers will only approach the party outside of caves
and buildings.
d)What each character should carry
Here are a few general suggestions on what kind of items to give to each
party member:
Ness: Have Ness carry most of the party's food items while at low
levels. Once you start finding items that can revive someone
unconscious or cure status effects such as paralysis and
diamondization, give priority to those items and transfer your
food to Paula.
Paula: Paula should carry all required items that Ness does not have to
carry, such as the Backstage Pass and the Jar of Fly Honey. Give
her most of your food items after the middle part of the game.
Jeff: Give Jeff offensive items such as Bombs and Insecticides when at
low levels. Jeff's inventory will likely become full with gadgets
only he can use or repair after a while. Give him food and
medicinal items if he has space.
Poo: Give Poo any offensive items, such as the Snake Bag, the Rust
Promoter DX, and the Monkey's Love, and use them when his "bash"
attack and PSI are not effective.
*******************************************************************************
IV.Set Up
*******************************************************************************
Set text speed to "fast" when starting your game. If you set text speed to a
slower setting, you can select "set up" when opening your file to change it. A
faster text speed will allow you to take better advantage of the rolling HP
counter and make it easier to survive battles.
Also, throughout the guide I will refer to party members and your "favorite
thing" as the first suggestion offered when selecting the "don't care" option
on the naming screen. These names are as follows:
Main Character: Ness
Girl: Paula
Friend: Jeff
Second Friend: Poo
Pet: King
Food: Steak
Thing: Rockin

1.The Beginning
Recommended Level: 1 -> 3
Equipment:
Ness: Cracked Bat
(nothing)
(nothing)
(nothing)
ITEMS
a)Cracked Bat
Use: weapon for Ness; Offense +4
Obtained: gift box in Tracy's room
Don't forget the Cracked Bat. Obtain and equip it before leaving Ness's
house.
b)Sound Stone
Use: required item; allows you to see which Sanctuary Locations were
visited and listen to the melodies recorded
Obtained: from Buzz Buzz, after returning Pokey and Picky to their home
The Sound Stone cannot be removed from Ness's inventory once obtained.
However, if Ness's inventory is full at the time Buzz Buzz tries to give
this item to Ness, it will be sent to Ness's sister, Tracy, instead. This
will free up a space in Ness's inventory for most of the game.
The best way to fill up Ness's inventory is to fight Spiteful Crows and
collect the Cookies they drop. Even without the Sound Stone, Sanctuary
melodies will be recorded and you can properly progress through the game.

Attacks
-Biting attack

recover with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 12 or below
c)Spiteful Crow
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze, Flash, Paralysis
Attacks

Comments: Make sure Ness has enough HP to survive two hits from this
attack.
-Try to steal something
Effect: steals a random, nonessential item
-Has a big grin on his face
Effect: none
Strategy
About three or four hits from Ness and King's attacks will defeat the
Spiteful Crow. This enemy always drops a Cookie when defeated; eat the
Cookie after fights if Ness receives more than 6 HP of damage.
-Ness: "bash"
recover with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 18 or lower
WALKTHROUGH
a)The Impact Site
The game will begin with the sound of a meteorite landing and Ness getting
out of bed. Leave Ness's room and enter the next door in the hall into
Tracy's room. Open the gift box to find the Cracked Bat, Ness's first
weapon. Equip it and go downstairs.
You can talk to Ness's mother and have Ness change into his regular
clothes if you want, but I prefer walking around in his jammies. Leave
Ness's house.
Follow the path that initially leads southwest to go to the impact site.
Nothing special will happen if you talk to the people on the way, though
they will give you a sense of the quirkiness and humor this game has to
offer.
There is a gift box on the way to the impact site containing a Bread Roll.
Don't grab the Bread Roll just yet because there is a chance it will get
stolen by an enemy that will appear soon.
Talk to Pokey (the chubby kid) upon reaching the impact site. Return to
Ness's home after doing so and talk to Ness's mother; answer "yes" to her
suggestion.
b)Buzz Buzz
When Ness wakes up again, go downstairs and walk toward the door. Pokey
will barge in on his own and explain his predicament. Answer "yes" to his
request; answering "no" will just cause Pokey to ask again.
Talk to Ness's mother (who mysteriously seems to know Ness is about to go
on a long adventure) and have Ness change into his regular clothes.
Talk to Tracy and she will give Ness a Cookie. The Cookie only recovers 6
HP, but it can be used to recover after battles.
Talk to Ness's dog, King, to temporarily gain his help. He has moderate
Offense and will be of considerable help in battle.
The phone will suddenly ring when you try to leave the house with Pokey.
Answer the phone and talk to Ness's father (who also seems to know Ness is
going on a long adventure). Leave Ness's house.
The neighborhood is now infested with wild animals. Eat 1 or 2 Cookies
after fights if Ness sustains more than 6 HP of damage. During battle, you
should recover with Lifeup when Ness's HP drops down to a point where he
can't survive two hits from the enemy's strongest attack. For example, the
Spiteful Crow can inflict about 9 HP of damage at most with its main
attack. Since the Spiteful Crow usually attacks before Ness, you should
try to keep Ness's HP above 18 when fighting this enemy. Try to estimate
minimum HP values like this near the beginning of the game to help you
survive battles without wasting PP and food items.
Note: Later in the game, Ness will receive an item called the Sound Stone,
which will be required to stay in his inventory at all times.
However, if Ness's inventory is full at the time he is given this
item, the Sound Stone will be sent to Ness's sister Tracy instead.
If you want to free up a space in Ness's inventory, fight the
enemies around Ness's house and collect the items they drop. The
best enemy to fight is the Spiteful Crow, since it always drops a
Cookie when defeated.
Don't talk to Tracy if the Sound Stone was sent to her; she will
give Ness the item if you do.
Upon reaching the impact site, King will get scared and run back home.
Talk to Picky, the boy sleeping beside a tree. Picky will agree to return
home with Ness.
As you try to walk back to Pokey's house, Buzz Buzz will emerge from the
meteorite and tell his story. Answer "yes" when prompted to continue;
answering "no" will cause Buzz Buzz to retell his story from the
beginning.
Start heading towards Pokey's house. On the way, you will be ambushed by
the Starman Jr. The battle is easy because Buzz Buzz does all the work.
Enter Pokey's house and talk to Pokey's father, Aloysius Minch. At this
point, Pokey, Picky, and Buzz Buzz will leave Ness's company.
Talk to Buzz Buzz and answer "yes" when prompted the first time and "no"
the second time to receive the Sound Stone; otherwise, Buzz Buzz will
repeat his explanation.
Dawn will break when you leave Pokey's house.
EXTRAS
a)Lier X. Agerate
Purpose: none
You will no doubt notice Lier X. Agerate's house on your way to the impact
site. Talking to him during the night will do nothing, but his dialogue
changes between your first and second trips to the impact site.
After daybreak, go back to his house and you'll see him standing next to a
hole. Talk to him and he will lead Ness down the hole and through a short
cave, at the end of which will be Lier's "treasure." Nothing will be
gained by examining the statue or talking to Lier, but this treasure plays
an important role in the storyline later in the game.

ITEMS
a)Map
Use: press the X button to see a map of your current town

(call Ness's mom to learn Escargo Express's phone number; see the EXTRAS
section below).
b)Mr. Baseball Cap
Use: armor for Ness; equip as "other;" Defense +6
Obtained: kid in tree house north of the Library
The Mr. Baseball Cap is the best "other" armor Ness can get until the next
town. To obtain this item, look for a shaggy haired kid north of the
Library. Enter the recess in the trees next to this kid and walk north to
enter a tree house. Talk to one of the kids inside and he'll give you the
Mr. Baseball Cap.

ENEMIES
a)Frank
Recommended Level: 5
Attacks
-Come out swinging
Damage: 7~9 HP
-Brandish a knife
Damage: 18~24 HP
Comments: Make sure Ness can survive two hits from this attack by
recovering with Lifeup[alpha] or a Hamburger if his HP falls
below 48.
-Say something nasty
Effect: lower Guts by 1 or 2 for the duration of the battle
Strategy
About four or five hits from Ness's "bash" should defeat Frank. Carry at
least one Hamburger before fighting him.
If Ness is at level 4 or 5, you'll probably have to recover in every
other round just in case Frank uses his knife attack twice in a row.
You'll need a bit of luck to win this fight if you don't spend some time
leveling up or stocking up on Hamburgers. Frank should be easy if Ness
is above level 6 or you have more than 3 Hamburgers.
-Ness: "bash"
recover with Lifeup[alpha] or a Hamburger if HP falls to 48 or
lower
b)Frankystein Mark II
Recommended Level: 5
Attacks
-Generate a burst of steam
Effect: none
Comments: Frankystein uses this move in the first round and every other
round thereafter.
-Throw a punch
Damage: 12~17 HP
-Tear into you
Damage: 25~34 HP
Comments: Be sure that Ness has enough HP to survive a hit from this
attack.
Strategy
About five or six hits from Ness's "bash" should defeat the Frankystein.
This battle should be easier than the first fight against Frank because
the Frankystein wastes every other turn "generating a burst of steam."
Take advantage of these wasted turns by recovering with Lifeup or a
Hamburger when Ness may not survive a hit from the Frankystein's "tear
into you" attack.
-Ness: "bash"
recover with Lifeup[alpha] or a Hamburger if HP reaches 34 or
lower
c)Pogo Punk
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 1~3 HP with the Cheap Bracelet
7~9 HP without the Cheap Bracelet
-Charge forward
Damage: 8~12 HP with the Cheap Bracelet
14~18 HP without the Cheap Bracelet
-Fall down
Effect: none
Strategy
About two or three hits from Ness's "bash" should defeat the Pogo Punk.
Defeat this enemy last if it appears in a group. Avoid fighting this
enemy without the Cheap Bracelet or below level 5.
The Pogo Punk will sometimes drop a Hamburger.
-Ness: "bash"
recover with Lifeup[alpha] when HP reaches 25 or lower when
facing a group
d)Skate Punk
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 1 HP with the Cheap Bracelet
5~8 HP without the Cheap Bracelet
-Shred fiercely on a skateboard
Damage: 5~8 HP with the Cheap Bracelet
11~15 HP without the Cheap Bracelet
-Call for help
Effect: either a Yes Man Junior or a Pogo Punk joins the battle;
success rate is about 75%
Strategy
About two or three hits from Ness's "bash" should defeat the Skate Punk.
Avoid fighting this enemy without the Cheap Bracelet or below level 5.
This is the only Shark that can call for help. If you are at a low level
(lower than 5), defeat this enemy first when it appears in a group. If
you are leveling up and feel like you can handle the Sharks, defeat this
enemy last to help you level up faster.
-Ness: "bash"
recover with Lifeup[alpha] when HP reaches 25 or lower when
facing a group
e)Yes Man Junior
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 1~3 HP with the Cheap Bracelet
7~8 HP without the Cheap Bracelet
-Swing his hula hoop
Damage: 8~12 HP with the Cheap Bracelet
14~19 HP without the Cheap Bracelet
-Laugh hysterically
Effect: none
Strategy
About two or three hits from Ness's "bash" should defeat the Yes Man
Junior. Defeat this enemy before any Pogo Punks but after any Skate
Punks. Avoid fighting this enemy without the Cheap Bracelet or below
level 5.
The Yes Man Junior sometimes drops a Bag of Fries when defeated.
-Ness: "bash"
recover with Lifeup[alpha] when HP reaches 25 or lower when
facing a group
WALKTHROUGH
a)Preliminaries
Walk south and then west to the Library. Enter the Library and talk to the
librarian near the entrance to receive a Map, an item that lets you see
the layout of all major towns in the game. Press the X button to see a map
of the town you are in. If you decide you don't need the Map, give it to
Tracy or call Escargo Express. To learn Escargo Express's phone number,
simply call Ness's mom from a telephone (see EXTRAS section below).
To the north of the library is a kid with shaggy hair. Enter the small
recess in the cluster of trees next to the kid and walk north to enter the
nearby tree house. Talk to the kid wearing the large red cap to receive
the Mr. Baseball Cap and equip it on Ness.
Follow the trail south to the main part of town and examine the trash can
next to the Burger Shop to find a Hamburger.
Go to the Drugstore and withdraw all of your money from the ATM. Sell any
Cookies you may have and buy the Tee Ball Bat and the Cheap Bracelet. If
you can't buy both items, give priority to the Cheap Bracelet and battle
the Sharks around the Arcade in southern Onett to accumulate more money
(if you can't buy anything, battle the animals to the north). If you need
to recover, go back to Ness's house rather than staying at the Hotel;
money may be tight right now, and you should try to be frugal when
possible.
The Sharks can be brutal if you aren't equipped with the Cheap Bracelet;
they aren't too bad otherwise. Always defeat the Skate Punk first when
facing a group to prevent him from calling for help. If you're trying to
level up or earn money, fight the couple of Sharks in the Arcade to get
them out of the way for later. In general, you should recover with Lifeup
when HP falls to 25 or lower. Save any Hamburgers you get for some
upcoming boss battles.
b)Frank
Frank, the leader of the Sharks, is behind the Arcade in southern Onett.
He can be difficult, and you'll need a bit of luck to defeat him if Ness
is at level 4 or 5. (I was at level 4 when writing this guide; I was able
to defeat Frank most of the time, but I lost once or twice when Frank was
aggressive with his knife attack and Ness's "bash" missed several times.
Victory is practically guaranteed if Ness is at least level 6 or you have
more than 3 Hamburgers.)
Carry at least one Hamburger before approaching Frank. Recover with any
Cookies, Cans of Fruit Juice, or Bread Rolls in your inventory before
talking to Frank.
The fight against Frank is divided into two battles: one against Frank and
another against Frankystein with no break in-between.
Recover if Ness's HP falls to about 48 or lower when fighting Frank. The
fight against Frank is the harder one, so don't worry if Ness has to
recover in every other round. Use up Ness's PP before resorting to food
items. About four or five hits from Ness's "bash" will defeat Frank.
The fight against Frankystein is a little easier because the Frankystein
wastes every other turn to "generate a burst of steam." Recover with
Lifeup[alpha] or a Hamburger if Ness's HP falls to about 34 or lower.
Once you defeat the Frankystein, Frank will change his ways and become
your friend. After Frank is done talking, enter the Arcade, reenter the
yard, and talk to Frank again. He will allow Ness to rest and recover for
free.
EXTRAS
a)Escargo Express
Purpose: learn Escargo Express's phone number
Escargo Express is a company that will store any unneeded items for you in
a separate storage space. They can be extremely useful because you will
often find yourself with useless items that can't be thrown away.
Simply call Ness's mom to learn Escargo Express's phone number. You can
call Escargo Express to have up to three items delivered to or picked up
from the party for $18. You can also go to Ness's house and talk to his
sister to store or pick up items for free.
b)House for Sale
Purpose: -lose $7500
-read a humorous story
-get ambushed by the Cameraman
If you go to southern Onett and walk west past the Hospital, you will find
a house that is being sold for $7500. Don't try to gain enough money to
buy this house, as there is no point. $7500 will become more affordable
later in the game, and you can always come back later if you want.
If you buy the house, you can "check" the drawer near the door to read a
slightly amusing story. You can also get your picture taken by the
cameraman near the middle of the house.

to save them for the upcoming boss.
b)Travel Charm

ENEMIES
a)Attack Slug
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze, Paralysis, Brainshock
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 1~3 HP
-Hypnosis[alpha]
Comments: Attack Slugs cannot use PSI for the first four rounds of
battle.
-Edge closer
Effect: none
Strategy
Only one or two hits from Ness's "bash" attack should defeat the Attack
Slug. The Attack Slug is pretty weak and tends to fight in groups. They
are the best enemies to fight if you want to level up.
Defeat the Attack Slug last if it appears with anything else. This enemy
sometimes drops a Bomb when defeated; save the Bomb for the Sanctuary
Boss.
-Ness: "bash"
recover with Lifeup[alpha], as needed
b)Black Antoid
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze, Paralysis, Hypnosis
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 10~14 HP
-Lifeup[alpha]
Effect: recovers about 100 HP
-Call for help
Effect: a Black Antoid may join the battle
Strategy
Black Antoids are the strongest enemies that lurk in this cave, and they
can be dangerous if they appear in a group. If you are facing only one
or two, "bash" and recover with Lifeup[alpha] as necessary. When facing
more Black Antoids, use PSI Rockin[alpha] to likely defeat all Black
Antoids in sight.
This enemy can summon a long chain of other Antoids for help and
overwhelm you. If Ness is lower than level 8 and hasn't learned PSI
Rockin[alpha] yet, you may want to spend some time leveling up on the
lowest level of the Sanctuary Cave where Black Antoids don't appear.
About two hits from Ness's "bash" will defeat this enemy. The Black
Antoid sometimes drops a Cookie. Use the Cookie after a fight if Ness
sustained more than 6 HP of damage.
-Ness: "bash"
recover with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 28 or below
PSI Rockin[alpha], if facing a group
c)Rowdy Mouse
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze
Attacks
-Biting attack
Damage: 1 HP
10~15 HP if SMAAAASH!! hit
Comments: The Rowdy Mouse will get a SMAAAASH!! hit about 50% of the
time. Other times, it will inflict only about 1 HP of damage
or miss.
Strategy
Two or three hits from Ness's "bash" will defeat the Rowdy Mouse. If
this enemy appears with a Black Antoid, defeat the Black Antoid first.
The Rowdy Mouse sometimes drops a Bread Roll when defeated.
-Ness: "bash"
recover with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 30 or below
d)Titanic Ant (Sanctuary Boss)
Recommended Level: 9
Attacks
-Biting attack
Damage: 17~25 HP
-Biting attack
Damage: 25~45 HP
Comments: The Titanic Ant's two biting attacks have the same description
in the battle dialogue window.
-Shield[alpha]
Effect: reduces damage inflicted by physical attacks by 50%
Comments: Damage from the Yo-yo sold at the Drugstore will not be
reduced by this shield. Without the Yo-yo, you will have to
hit the shield 3 times (or more if the Titanic Ant uses Shield
[alpha] again) to eliminate it.
-Defense Down[alpha]
Effect: reduces a single target's Defense by about 6%
-PSI Magnet[alpha]
Effect: drains 2 to 8 PP from its target
Strategy
Have at least 4 Hamburgers in preparation for this fight, and buy the
Yo-yo from the Onett Drugstore. The Yo-yo has a slightly lower accuracy
than the Tee Ball Bat and cannot get SMAAAASH!! hits, but its damage is
not reduced by the Titanic Ant's shield. Level up Ness so that he has
about 90 HP as well.
Use PSI Rockin[alpha] in the first round and "shoot" thereafter. Recover
with Lifeup or a Hamburger when HP falls below 60. If Ness is equipped
with the Tee Ball Bat, use PSI Rockin[alpha] until PP is depleted before
using "bash."
-Ness: (first round) PSI Rockin[alpha]
"bash/shoot"
recover with Lifeup[alpha] or a Hamburger if HP falls below 60
WALKTHROUGH
a)Preparation
Recover at Frank's hideout or at Ness's house if needed and carry at least
3 Hamburgers. The Hamburgers are in preparation for the First Sanctuary
Boss battle and should be saved until then; go to the Burger Shop and buy
a few if you need to.
Buy a Yo-yo from the Drugstore as well, but don't equip it yet. The damage
inflicted by the Yo-yo is unaffected by shields, and the upcoming boss
sometimes uses Shield[alpha] often. Keep the Tee Ball Bat equipped until
then because the Yo-yo has a slightly lower accuracy and cannot get
SMAAAASH!! hits.
b)The Shack
After defeating Frankystein, head to City Hall located roughly in the
center of Onett. Go upstairs to the mayor's office and talk to Mayor
Pirkle. Be his yes-man to receive the Key to the Shack.
Exit City Hall, head north to the Library, and turn left at the fork in
the path. When you reach the shack, approach the door and "use" the Key to
the Shack to unlock it.
Talk to one of the travelers and he will give Ness a Travel Charm, an item
that protects its wearer from Paralysis. No enemies around the first
couple towns can use Paralysis, so sell the Travel Charm for $30.
c)Sanctuary Cave Enemies
The Attack Slugs are too weak to pose a threat, but they tend to attack in
groups and are the best enemies to fight if you want to level up. One or
two hits from a standard attack will defeat them.
The Rowdy Mouse is a little more powerful, but it can also be defeated
with just standard attacks. They get a SMAAAASH!! hit about 50% of the
time but inflict only 1 HP of damage otherwise. Keep Ness's HP above 30
when fighting them.
The enemy to watch out for is the Black Antoid. If you face only one or
two of this enemy, "bash" and recover with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to
about 28 or below. When facing a group, use PSI Rockin[alpha] to likely
defeat all Black Antoids in sight.
The Black Antoid can summon a long chain of other Antoids for help and
overwhelm you. To prepare for this risk, you may want to spend some time
leveling up until Ness learns PSI Rockin[alpha]. Stay on the lowest level
of the Sanctuary Cave where Black Antoids don't appear.
If you run low on PP, you can find a Magic Butterfly outside the third
level of the cave.
d)Navigating the Cave
The first few cave openings you see lead to small rooms with gift boxes.
The first room holds a Skip Sandwich, the second has nothing, and the
third holds a Cold Remedy. Obtain the Cold Remedy in preparation for the
next town.
Your first goal is to reach the Magic Butterfly area. The exit on the
third level of the cave leads to a small terrace outside. A Magic
Butterfly often spawns here, so exit and reenter this place if you do not
see one. You can come back here to recover with Lifeup as needed and use
the Butterfly to restore PP.
There is a gift box containing a Hamburger in the room following the Magic
Butterfly area. Save it for the upcoming boss battle.
e)Sanctuary Boss
Level up Ness until he has about 90 HP. Use any weak food items you have
to recover HP and equip the Yo-yo before talking to the Shining Spot.
Use PSI Rockin[alpha] against the Sanctuary Boss in the first round; use
PSI Rockin until Ness's PP is depleted if equipped with the Tee Ball Bat.
You should be able to survive with at least 4 Hamburgers. The Sanctuary
Boss can surprise you with a powerful biting attack that can inflict over
40 HP of damage, and you should recover when Ness's HP falls below 60 just
in case.

ENEMIES
a)Captain Strong
Recommended Level: 10
Attacks
-Come out swinging
Damage: 19~30 HP
-Grapple and use a submission hold
Damage: 40~60 HP
-Lose his temper
Effect: Strong's Offense increases by 1
-Guard
Effect: decreases damage inflicted by Ness's "bash" by 50% for a single
round
Strategy
About five or six hits from Ness's "bash" will defeat Capt. Strong.
Have about three Hamburgers in preparation for this battle. You will
probably have to recover in every other round if Strong is aggressive
with his attacks.
-Ness: "bash"
recover with Lifeup[alpha] or a Hamburger if HP reaches 80 or
lower
b)Cop
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 11~15 HP
-Crushing chop
Damage: 26~32 HP
Strategy
About three hits from Ness's "bash" should defeat the Cop. This enemy
sometimes drops a Hamburger when defeated.
-Ness: "bash"
recover if Lifeup[alpha] if HP reaches 60 or lower
c)Ramblin' Evil Mushroom
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 11~14 HP
-Scatter spores
Effect: make Ness feel strange in battle; alters movement control
outside of battle
Comments: There is no PSI move or item that can cure mushroomization.
If Ness gets mushroomized, avoid fighting as much as possible
until Ness reaches Twoson Hospital, and talk to the blue
haired Healer. He will remove the mushroom and pay Ness $50
for it.
Strategy
About two hits from Ness's "bash" should defeat the Ramblin' Evil
Mushroom. Defeat this enemy first if it appears in a group.
-Ness: "bash"
recover with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 24 or lower
if Ness is mushroomized, recover with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls
to 50 or lower (Ness can inflict about 40 HP of damage to
himself)
WALKTHROUGH
a)Preparation
Exit the First Sanctuary Cave and a police officer will approach Ness.
Whether you answer "yes" or "no" will make no difference. Before going to
the police station, buy some Hamburgers if Ness has less than three.
b)The Onett Police Force
Enter the police station in southern Onett and talk to Captain Strong, the
one with the mustache. He will lead Ness to a room in the back of the
building.
Four regular Cops will battle Ness one at a time, with the last one
chickening out. Attack with Ness's "bash" and use Lifeup[alpha] when HP
falls to 60 or below.
After the regular Cops are defeated, Strong himself will battle Ness. Use
Ness's "bash" attack for offense and save PP for Lifeup[alpha]. Recover
with Lifeup or a Hamburger if Ness's HP reaches 80 or lower. You may have
to spend every other round recovering if Strong is aggressive with his
attacks.
c)Road to Twoson
When Strong is defeated, he will call some of his men and order the road
to Twoson be opened. Recover by talking to Frank and head south.
There is a house on the way that belongs to some Exit Mice. Exit Mice are
treated as items and can be "used" while in a cave to instantly travel to
the entrance. They aren't necessary right now and can be found in more
convenient places later.
Further down the road, there may be some Ramblin' Evil Mushrooms lurking.
Try to avoid fighting these if you can because fighting them will likely
cause Ness to be mushroomized. Mushroomization will cause Ness to be
confused in battle and alter his movement controls outside of battle. If
affected, avoid fighting as much as possible and go to the Hospital in
northeast Twoson. The Healer there will pay Ness $50 for the mushroom and
remove it from his head.

1.Second City
Recommended Level: 11 -> 12
Equipment:
Ness: Tee Ball Bat
(nothing)
Copper Bracelet
Mr. Baseball Cap
ITEMS
a)For Sale Sign
Use: summons a customer to buy an item from you; can only be used outdoors
Obtained: from the shaggy haired kid in Burglin Park
You will often find yourself with items that need to be thrown away. Use
the For Sale Sign in those cases to sell those unneeded items and earn
some money.
b)Fresh Egg
Use: recovers about 80 HP; turns into a Chicken in 1 min. 30 sec.
Obtained: Burglin Park
Leave this item in your inventory for a little while and it will turn
into a Chicken, an item that can be sold for $110. The Fresh Egg can be
bought from the blonde dude in Burglin Park for $12, so buying an Egg and
waiting until it turns into a Chicken can net you $98.
c)Bicycle
Use: allows Ness to move faster
Obtained: Bike Shop next to the Hotel; can be obtained for free
The Bicycle would be convenient if it did not become unusable so quickly.
The Bicycle cannot be used if there are more than two people in your
party, and another person will be joining Ness soon. If you get the bike
anyway, give it to Escargo Express once Paula joins Ness.
d)Broken Machine
Use: repaired into Counter-PSI Unit by the third party member
Obtained: Apple Kid's House
The Broken Machine can be repaired by a party member that will join Ness
in the next major town. The Counter-PSI Unit is a tool that can render an
enemy unable to use PSI for four rounds. It doesn't work against strong
enemies and should be left behind.

the Copper Bracelet in Burglin Park before fighting Everdred. Use PSI
Rockin[alpha] if you want to inflict extra damage.
-Ness: (first turn) Shield[alpha], if learned
(subsequent turns) "bash"
PSI Rockin[alpha]

Effect: solidify a single target
Strategy

-Ness: "bash"
recover with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 35 or lower
WALKTHROUGH
a)Preliminaries
If Ness has been mushroomized, go to the Hospital in northeast Twoson and
talk to the blue haired healer.
NOTE: Inside the Hotel is a man wearing glasses and a suit. Talk to him
seventeen times and he will give Ness $50.
Withdraw money from an ATM so you have about $400. Go to Burglin Park to
the south of the Hotel (avoid the creepy guy on the roof of his house for
now) and talk to the shaggy haired kid to buy the For Sale Sign, an
item that allows you to sell items anywhere outside. Talk to the man on
the kid's left, buy and equip the Copper Bracelet, and sell the Cheap
Bracelet.
If you can't afford the things you need, talk to the blonde dude with
sunglasses to buy a Fresh Egg for $12. Wait about 1 min. 30 sec. for the
Egg to turn into a Chicken, and sell the Chicken for $110.
b)Everdred
Everdred lives in a house inside Burglin Park. If you come close enough to
his house, he will jump off of his roof and attack. You are not required
to fight him, but he plays an important role in the storyline a couple of
times later on, and this fight will serve as an introduction to him. Plus,
he gives a good amount of experience points.
If you fight Everdred, use Shield[alpha] (if learned) in the first round
to defend against Everdred's standard attack and use "bash" attacks
thereafter. You can use PSI Rockin[alpha], though I think it is safer to
save his PP for Lifeup. Recover if Ness's HP falls below 55~60.
c)Apple Kid and the Pencil Statue
If Ness doesn't have a weak food item on him (such as a Cookie), buy a
Ketchup Packet from the hippie in Burglin Park.
You will also need to carry at least $200 with you. If you don't have the
money, buy some Fresh Eggs and sell Chickens as mentioned above.
Go to southern Twoson and enter Apple Kid's house. There is a trash can in
here containing a Broken Machine, an item that Jeff, a future party
member, can repair into the Counter-PSI Unit. The Counter-PSI is not a
very helpful item, however, so you can leave the Broken Machine behind.
Talk to Apple Kid and he will ask for some food. Give him the cheapest
food item you have (the aforementioned Ketchup Packet is good enough).
Next, he will ask for $200. You have no choice but to give it to him.
Once you pay Apple Kid, the little mouse will move in front of the door.
Talk to him and he will give Ness the Receiver Phone, an item Ness is
required to keep in his inventory at all times.
Next, go to Peaceful Rest Valley, the area east of Twoson. On the way,
you will likely encounter some Ramblin' Evil Mushrooms, Mobile Sprouts,
and Li'l UFOs. As long as Ness has at least 25 PP and a few food items,
he should be able to survive. Defeat any enemies you face with standard
"bash" attacks. If Ness catches a cold, use Healing[alpha] after the
battle is over. If you face a group of enemies, defeat the Mobile Sprouts
first. Their PSI Magnet[alpha] can be very damaging, and you will be in
trouble if Ness runs out of PP while away from town. If Ness gets
mushroomized, there is a girl near the entrance to the Valley who will
remove the mushroom from Ness's head.
Your goal is the pencil statue blocking your path in Peaceful Rest Valley.
Keep moving forward until you reach it and "check" it. Head back to
Twoson.
Apple Kid will call Ness on his Receiver Phone upon reaching Twoson. For
some reason, Apple Kid will be waiting for Ness at Burglin Park instead of
his home. Talk to Apple Kid and he will give Ness the Pencil Eraser.
Before heading back to the pencil statue, go to the Hotel and rest to
recover HP and PP.
EXTRAS
a)Mach Pizza's Phone Number
Purpose: learn Mach Pizza's phone number to order delivery Pizza
There is a Pizza Shop in southern Twoson between Polestar Preschool and
the Bus Station. Enter the shop and talk to the clerk to learn Mach
Pizza's phone number.
You can now call Mach Pizza and have a small or large Pizza delivered to
the party (medium Pizzas are always sold out). Small Pizzas recover about
120 HP when used, and Large Pizzas recover about 240 HP for the entire
party. Delivery takes about 3 minutes.
b)Orange Kid
Purpose: -lose $200 or $50
-receive the Suporma, which is useless
Orange Kid helps Ness in no way whatsoever and, despite his popularity,
seems much more incompetent than the Apple Kid. If you invest $200 in his
work, he will give Ness the Suporma, a useless device that breaks after
one use and only sells for $25.
If you talk to him after rescuing Paula, Orange Kid will only ask for a
$50 investment. Doing it this way is no different from paying him before
rescuing Paula other than you lose less money.

ENEMIES
a)Li'l UFO
Vulnerable: Fire, Brainshock
Attacks
-Fire a beam
Damage: 10~14 HP
-Shoot a beam that causes night-time stuffiness
Effect: gives a single target a cold
Comments: The success rate of this attack seems to be 100%. Use Healing
[alpha] or a Cold Remedy after the battle is over if Ness
catches a cold. Using Healing during battle will cost a turn,
and the Li'l UFO may just give Ness a cold again.
Strategy
About two hits from Ness's "bash" should defeat the Li'l UFO. Defeat the
Li'l UFO before attacking any Spinning Robos.
-Ness: "bash"
recover with Lifeup[alpha] if HP reaches 28 or lower
recover with Lifeup[alpha] if HP reaches 36 or lower and if Ness
has a cold
b)Mobile Sprout
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze, Paralysis, Brainshock
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 8~11 HP
-Lifeup[alpha]
-PSI Magnet[alpha]
Comments: Defeat the Mobile Sprouts before any other enemy to prevent
Ness from losing too much PP to this move. A Teddy Bear can be
a good way to divert this attack away from Ness.
-Sow some seeds around itself
Effect: another Mobile Sprout may join the battle
Comments: The success rate of this move is rather high and is another
reason why you should defeat this enemy first when it appears
in a group. If the Mobile Sprouts start to overwhelm you, use
PSI Rockin[alpha].
Strategy
About two hits from Ness's "bash" should defeat the Mobile Sprout.
Defeat this enemy first when it appears in a group. Keep Ness's HP above
50 or so when facing a large group.
-Ness: "bash"
PSI Rockin[alpha], if overwhelmed
recover with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 22 or lower
c)Ramblin' Evil Mushroom
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 5~7 HP
-Scatter spores
Effect: mushroomize; makes Ness feel strange in battle; alters movement
control outside of battle
Comments: There is no PSI move or item that can cure mushroomization.
If Ness gets mushroomized, talk to the girl near the entrance
of Peaceful Rest Valley and she will remove the mushroom.
Strategy
About one or two hits from Ness's "bash" should defeat the Ramblin' Evil
Mushroom. Defeat this enemy after any Mobile Sprouts it may appear with;
the Mobile Sprouts have higher Offense and can drain Ness's PP, while
the Ramblin' Evil Mushroom's mushroomization attack can be cured when
you get to Peaceful Rest Valley.
-Ness: "bash"
recover with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 14 or lower
recover with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 50 or lower if Ness
is mushroomized (Ness can inflict about 40 HP of damage if he
bashes himself)
d)Spinning Robo
Vulnerable: Freeze
Resistant: Fire
Attacks
-Fire a beam
Damage: 15~20 HP
-Shield[alpha]
-Shoot a beam that causes night-time stuffiness
Effect: gives a single target a cold
Comments: The success rate of this attack seems to be 100%. Use Healing
[alpha] or a Cold Remedy after the battle is over if Ness
catches a cold. Using Healing during battle will cost a turn,
and the Li'l UFO may just give Ness a cold again.
Strategy
About three hits from Ness's "bash" should defeat the Spinning Robo.
This enemy occasionally appears with Li'l UFOs. If this happens, defeat
the Li'l UFOs first.
-Ness: "bash"
recover with Lifeup[alpha] if HP reaches 40 or lower
e)Territorial Oak
Vulnerable: Fire
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 28~35 HP
-Brainshock[alpha]
Comments: There is no practical way to heal feeling strange at this
point in the game. Just keep attacking as you normally would
and keep Ness's HP higher than usual if he feels strange.
-Vacuum attack
Effect: decreases Ness's Offense by 1~2 and Defense by 1~2
-Burst into flames (death action)
Damage: 240~330 HP
Comments: Defeat this enemy last in any fight and tap the A or L button
as fast as you can to end the battle. If you are fast enough
(and if text speed is set to "fast"), Ness should only suffer
about 30 HP of damage.
Strategy
About four or five hits from Ness's "bash" should defeat the Territorial
Oak. This enemy is the strongest foe lurking in the Valley, but it moves
slower than Ness outside of battle. If Ness is low on PP, try to avoid
this enemy.
-Ness: "bash"
recover with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 65 or lower
WALKTHROUGH
a)Preparation
Go to Polestar Preschool and walk upstairs into Paula's room to find a
Teddy Bear, a helpful item for the upcoming area. If you've already used
the Teddy Bear in Paula's room, you can buy another one ($178) at the
Department Store if you wish. Also, buy a Copper Bracelet in Burglin Park
if you don't already have one.
If Ness is mushroomized on the way to Peaceful Rest Valley, talk to the
girl near the entrance to the Valley to remove the mushroom.
b)Making It Through the Valley
There are two major difficulties in making it through the Valley: PP
preservation and catching colds. The former problem is caused by frequent
use of Lifeup and Healing and by the Mobile Sprout's PSI Magnet[alpha].
The best way to address this problem is to defeat Mobile Sprouts first in
battle and to touch any Magic Butterflies you encounter (use Lifeup[alpha]
to recover any lost HP before touching a Butterfly). Luckily, there are a
number of spots in the Valley where Magic Butterflies appear. Also, if you
have any food items, use those up before resorting to Lifeup.
Colds are caused by the many Li'l UFOs and Spinning Robos found in the
Valley. Use Healing[alpha] or a Cold Remedy after battles when Ness
catches a cold, since healing during battle uses up a turn and the enemy
may just give Ness a cold again. Use up any Cold Remedies you have before
using Healing[alpha].
The first thing you have to do is remove the pencil statue with the Pencil
Eraser.
Next, cross the bridge and walk all the way to the east side of the
central area and walk a little south onto the elevated land. On the north
side of this place is a gift box with a Travel Charm and on the south side
is a gift box with a Luck Capsule. Neither item is very useful and can be
sold to earn some money.
You will likely start encountering some Territorial Oaks, which look like
moving trees on the field. Always defeat them last in battle, as they will
burst into flames when defeated and inflict over 250 HP of damage to Ness.
Luckily, they move slower than Ness can walk and can be avoided.
Walk west from the central elevated area and then south along the stream
to find a gift box containing a Croissant.
Next, walk east between the two cliffs. There is a gift box holding a Bomb
to the south, though this item isn't very useful. Continue east and head
north after crossing the bridge.
If you are in relatively good condition, travel all the way to the north
along the stream and then turn west for a Hard Hat. Equip this on Ness and
sell your previous "other" armor. The Hard Hat will significantly reduce
any damage inflicted by enemy attacks and make battles here much easier.
Go back east along the stream and travel south on to the elevated ridge.
Travel all the way to the southern tip of the ridge and open the gift box
to find a Cup of Lifenoodles, an item that can revive someone unconscious
and cure almost any status effect.
Enter the cave to the east to exit the Valley. Only Coil Snakes are found
in this cave.

ENEMIES
a)Insane Cultist
Attacks
-Paint attack
Damage: 5 HP
-Call for help
Effect: another Insane Cultist may join the battle
Strategy
About two hits from Ness's "bash" should defeat the Insane Cultist.
-Ness: "bash"
recover with Lifeup[alpha] if HP reaches 10 or lower
recover with Lifeup[alpha] if HP reaches 20~30 or lower if this
enemy appears in groups
b)Mr. Carpainter
Recommended Level: 14
Attacks
-Paint attack
Damage: 25~36 HP
-Crashing boom bang attack
Comments: This attack is equivalent to Thunder[beta]. The Franklin
Badge will reflect this attack and damage Mr. Carpainter for
65~170 HP of damage.
-Lifeup[alpha]
-PSI Shield[alpha]
Strategy
Depending on how Mr. Carpainter attacks, about eight or nine hits from
Ness's "bash" should defeat this enemy.
Ness: "bash"
recover with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 65 or lower
c)Spiteful Crow
Spiteful Crows lurk outside the cabin in which Paula is held. There is no
difference between these Spiteful Crows and the ones you faced in Onett.
WALKTHROUGH
a)Preliminaries
If you are low on HP and PP, go to the house located in the southwest part
of town and talk to its owner; he will allow Ness to rest for $50.
Nest, go to the Drugstore in the northeast part of town and buy the Sand
Lot Bat for $98.
b)Mr. Carpainter
Enter the cave to the left of the Drugstore and keep walking until you
reach the cabin. Go inside and talk to Paula in the jail cell to receive
the Franklin Badge, an item that reflects all Thunder and equivalent
attacks from its wearer.
After exiting the cabin, a couple of Insane Cultists and a Spiteful Crow
will battle Ness. Just use standard "bash" attacks to defeat them.
Go back to Happy Happy Village and enter the large building in the center
of the village. Inside, there will be a bunch of cultists blocking Ness's
path. The cultists that are swaying back and forth faster than the others
can be talked to and will either move out of Ness's way or battle him (the
cultists with an empty space adjacent to them will move out of the way;
the other cultists will fight Ness). The two gift boxes in the room
contain a Croissant and a Skip Sandwich, but don't open them until after
defeating Mr. Carpainter. Go to the second floor of the building.
Walk up the podium and talk to Mr. Carpainter. It does not matter whether
you answer "yes" or "no" when prompted. If Ness has the Franklin Badge,
Carpainter's lighting attack will be deflected and the battle will start.
Without the Franklin Badge, Ness will be sent outside by the lightning.
Mr. Carpainter is one of the easiest bosses in the game. Just keep Ness's
HP above 60 and use standard attacks while Mr. Carpainter hurts himself
with lightning.
After Mr. Carpainter is defeated, he will give Ness the Key to the Cabin.
Return to the cabin, go up to the jail cell door, and "use" the Key to
rescue Paula.
EXTRAS
a)Self-Service Food Stand
Purposes: -buy a Banana or a Fresh Egg at your own price
-fight an Unassuming Local Guy
South of the Drugstore is a food stand that allows you to buy a Banana or a
Fresh Egg at your own price. You can even get them for free. A good way to
make money is to "buy" Fresh Eggs for $0, wait until they turn into
Chickens, and sell the Chickens for a $110 profit.
If you buy an item at a cost lower than the listed price, the man standing
behind the tree will attack Ness if you talk to him. The man is an
Unassuming Local Guy, an enemy that should be easily defeated.
The food stand will close permanently once Mr. Carpainter is defeated.

Damage: 45~63 HP (Ness)
45~63 HP (Paula)
-Biting attack
Damage: 48~57 HP (Ness)
48~57 HP (Paula)
Strategy
One hit from Paula's Freeze[alpha] and a hit from Ness's "bash" should
defeat the Mighty Bear. If this enemy appears in a group, use Freeze
[beta] against it in the first round to defeat it with one attack. Keep
Paula's HP at max when fighting this enemy.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 65 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls below maximum

6~14 HP (Paula)
-Claw with its sharp nails
Damage: 18~34 HP (Ness)
18~35 HP (Paula)
Comment: This attack is used rarely, but it can be a devastating
surprise if you are not ready for it. Have Paula "defend" if
she is at a low level to prevent her from being mortally
wounded.
-Size up the situation
Effect: makes this enemy feel strange
-Be absentminded
Effect: none
Strategy
If Paula is at a low level, have her "defend" and use Lifeup[alpha] on
her if her HP falls below maximum.
Two hits from Ness's "bash" should defeat the Mole Playing Rough.
This enemy occasionally appears with Mr. Batties. Defeat the Mr. Batties
first before attacking this enemy.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 35 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 35 or lower
-Paula: "defend" if at a low level

57~95 HP (Paula)
-Claw with its sharp nails
Damage: 35~90 HP (Ness)
35~90 HP (Paula)
-Lifeup[alpha]
-PSI Shield[alpha]
-Offense Up[alpha]
Strategy
Use Paralysis as soon as you can to immobilize the Mondo Mole. "Bash"
thereafter until it is defeated, or just select "Auto Fight." If you
want to end the fight quickly, use Paula's Thunder[alpha]; it may miss
most of the time, but it's actually more cost-effective than Fire
[alpha].
-Ness: (first turn) Paralysis[alpha]
(subsequent turns) "Auto Fight"
-Paula: (first turn) "defend"
(subsequent turns) "bash" or Thunder[alpha]
d)Mr. Batty

Attacks

Damage: 12~18 HP (Ness)
12~20 HP (Paula)
-Become friendly and affectionate
Effect: solidify a single target
-Size up the situation
Effect: makes this enemy feel strange
Strategy
If you're leveling up Paula, have her "defend" while Ness uses "bash."
Keep Paula's HP above 20~30 or so if her level is still low. If Paula is
in danger of being KO'd, use PSI Rockin[alpha].
About one hit from Ness's "bash" should defeat the Mr. Batty.
If the Mr. Batty appears with the Mole Playing Rough, defeat the Mr.
Batty first.
-Ness: "bash"
PSI Rocking[alpha] if you are facing a rather large group of
enemies and Paula is in danger of being KO'd
recover Ness with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 25~35 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 30~40 or lower
-Paula: "defend" if she is at a low level
"bash"
WALKTHROUGH
a)Second Sanctuary Cave
Note: The second sanctuary melody does not have to be learned right now.
If you wish, you can return Paula to Twoson and learn the second
melody later.
Before moving on, you should spend some time leveling up and properly
equipping Paula. Go to the Drugstore and withdraw about $500 to buy a Fry
Pan, a Copper Bracelet, and a Ribbon for her. Also, take the Franklin
Badge from Ness's inventory and place it in Paula's. If Ness is low on HP
and PP, go to the house in the southwest part of the village and rest. The
owner will allow Ness and Paula to stay for free.
When everything is ready, enter the cave on the east side of the village.
Stay relatively close to the entrance and fight the enemies inside to
level up Paula. For the first few fights, have Paula "defend" and use
Lifeup on her if her HP falls to 15 or lower.
South of the entrance to the cave is a gift box containing a Great Charm.
Give it to Paula and equip it on her "body." If you encounter a group of
Mr. Batties, have Paula "defend" and keep her HP above 25. Use PSI Rockin
if you get overwhelmed.
Start making your way to the Shining Spot when Paula reaches about level
10.
You will find Mighty Bears lurking further inside the cave. The Mighty
Bears are powerful, but they have low Speed and can be defeated before
they get a chance to attack. When you are facing only one, have Paula use
Freeze[alpha] and Ness "bash." When they are in a group, use Freeze[beta]
in the first round (if learned) to defeat it in one attack. Keep Paula's
HP at maximum and Ness's HP above 65 when fighting this enemy.
Magic Butterflies often spawn near the center of the cave near two pools
of water. If you don't find any, walk a little ways off and come back
until there is one.
The Sanctuary Boss of this cave is the Mondo Mole, the easiest boss in the
game. Use Paralysis[alpha] against the Mondo Mole in the first round to
immobilize it and use "bash" thereafter (select "Auto Fight" and get
yourself a drink or something until the battle is over). Use Thunder
[alpha] if you want to speed up Mondo Mole's defeat.

(nothing) Great Charm
Copper Bracelet Copper Bracelet
Hard Hat Ribbon
ITEMS
a)Hand-Aid
Use: recovers max HP
Obtained: Paula's mother
WALKTHROUGH
a)Getting to Threed
Walk back to Twoson. Going through Peaceful Rest Valley should now be much
easier.
In Twoson, go to Polestar Preschool and talk to Paula's mother. She will
give Ness the Hand-Aid, an item that recovers max HP when used (it can
only be used once).
Outside, a man will approach Ness and Paula and ask them to meet Everdred.
Go to Burglin Park, enter Everdred's house, and talk to Everdred to
receive the Wad of Bills.
Head to Chaos Theater and talk to the Runaway Five band member standing to
the right of the Theater. He will give Ness and Paula the Backstage Pass.
Enter the theater, approach the woman blocking your path, and "use" the
Backstage Pass to gain admission.
Inside the music hall, walk to the left side of the room and talk to the
girl in the pink dress. She will take Ness and Paula into the Runaway
Five's dressing room.
You can talk to the band members, but nothing will happen if you do. Exit
the dressing room and watch the show.
Next, go to the manager's office and approach him from behind his desk.
"Use" the Wad of Bills while standing next to him and he will let the
Runaway Five leave.
Go outside and talk to the band member standing next to the bus. Answer
"yes" when prompted and enter the bus to go to Threed. If you answer "no,"
you can walk around and go elsewhere, but you will have to talk to him
again and answer "yes" in order to go to the next town. Once you get on
the bus to Threed, you will not be able to return to Onett or Twoson for
some time.

no longer be used.
b)Not much to do here yet...
Go to the graveyard in northwest Threed. Walk to the northwest corner of
the graveyard and enter the small opening in the forest. Approach the two
zombies standing in front of a ladder that leads underground. You cannot
battle these zombies and there is no way to get them out of the way right
now, but you need to approach them and have them notice Ness and Paula in
order to progress.
After approaching the zombies, go to the Hotel in central Threed. You
should see a strange looking woman in sunglasses standing in front of the
Hotel. Follow her inside and go into the room she enters.
After regaining control of Ness and Paula, approach the door and try to
open it.
EXTRAS
a)Insignificant Item
Purpose: find a Magic Truffle, a food item that recovers about 80 PP
Note: This sidequest can only be completed after all monsters from Threed
are gone.
If you're the type of player that likes to talk to everyone in an RPG, you
may have met a man in the hospital in Twoson talking about an item he left
in the hospital in Threed. To find this item, go to the second floor of
Threed Hospital and enter the room on the left. Approach the drawer and
"check" it to get the Insignificant Item. This item does absolutely
nothing and sells for only $1.
After the item is obtained and the monsters are gone from Threed, go back
to Twoson Hospital and enter the room on the left on the second floor.
Talk to the man inside and give him the Insignificant Item. He will give
you a Magic Truffle in return.

a)The Boarding House
When you gain control of Jeff, attempt to walk out of his room. Tony,

Enter the room to the left of Jeff and Tony's room and open the presents
to grab a bunch of Cookies. Cookies only recover 6 HP, but they can be
useful while Jeff is at a low level. Eat some after battle if Jeff loses
some HP.
Walk downstairs to the first floor and enter the door on the left. Talk
to Maxwell, the man in this room, and he will give Jeff the Key to the
Locker.
Exit the room and enter the room on the right. Approach one of the lockers
and "use" the Key to the Locker. Although the Key will not work, you're
required to use it. Exit the locker room and go back to Maxwell.
Maxwell will exchange the Key to the Locker for the Bad Key Machine. Go
back to the lockers and "use" the Bad Key Machine to open them and take
the items inside. The only item you are required to get is the Pop Gun,
which is located in the rightmost locker of the back row. Check the
leftmost lockers of the front and back rows to find the Holmes Hat and the
Broken Air Gun as well. Equip the Pop Gun and the Holmes Hat before
leaving the Boarding House.
b)Going Through Winters
Once outside the Boarding House, walk east and enter the Drugstore. The
items being sold at this Drugstore cannot be bought right now, assuming
you do not resort to laborious methods. The earliest these items can be
bought is after Ness learns Teleport[alpha], but that will not be for
awhile. It is possible to accumulate money by battling the enemies in the
area and selling the items they drop, but I don't think the rewards are
worth the effort.
Inside the Drugstore, talk to the woman on the left and answer "yes" when
prompted to receive the Pak of Bubble Gum.
Next, talk to the monkey standing near the entrance and he will join Jeff.
The Bubble Monkey will follow Jeff around for awhile and will participate
a little in battle. His Offense is low and he will often waste his turns,
but you need him to make it through Winters.
Exit the Drugstore and begin walking south. The only enemies you will
encounter are Runaway Dogs, Spiteful Crows, and Gruff Goats. The first two
should give you no problems, but the Gruff Goat can be tough. Try to keep
Jeff's HP above 13 when fighting them and recover with as many Cookies
as you need once the battle is over; save your more effective food items
for recovery during battle. There is a tent a little south of the
Drugstore where Jeff can rest for free. Jeff should be able to survive
until he reaches the tent.
Keep walking south by following the wide open paths left and right. Soon,
you will reach a campsite located next to a body of water known as Lake
Tess. Enter the tent at the western end of the campsite, talk to the guy
inside, and answer "yes" when prompted to rest.
When Jeff wakes up, exit the tent and walk east to the spot of dirt on the
small peninsula sticking out into the lake.

3.Winters (South)
Recommended Level: 3 -> 9 (Jeff)
Equipment:
Jeff: Pop Gun/Stun Gun
(nothing)
(nothing)
Holmes Hat
ITEMS
a)Broken Iron
Use: can be repaired by Jeff into the Slime Generator
Obtained: gift box in Brick Road
IQ Required: 10
The Slime Generator is an item that will solidify a random target in
battle for one turn. It can be used an infinite number of times. It's
usefulness is limited, but it can prevent some enemies from doing anything
if repeatedly used.
b)Broken Pipe
Use: can be repaired by Jeff into the Shield Killer
Obtained: gift box on the second floor of Dr. Andonuts's Lab
IQ Required: 30
The Shield Killer can remove any shield protecting a single target. It can
periodically fail to work.
An alternative to the Shield Killer is the Neutralizer, another one of
Jeff's tools that can be found later in the game. The Neutralizer always
works but removes everyone's shields, including those protecting party
members. I usually carry both because the Shield Killer can be useful
against some powerful PSI using enemies.

ENEMIES
a)Attack Slug
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze, Paralysis, Brainshock
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 3 HP
-Hypnosis[alpha]
Comments: Attack Slugs cannot use PSI for the first four rounds of
battle.
-Edge closer
Effect: none
Strategy
Only one hit from Jeff's "shoot" or about three hits from the Bubble
Monkey should defeat the Attack Slug. Defeat this enemy last if it
appears in a group.
If you want to level up Jeff, the Attack Slug is the best enemy to
fight. Stay near the entrance to the Fourth Sanctuary Cave and talk to
Brick Road when Jeff needs to recover HP.
-Jeff: "shoot"
b)Cave Boy
Vulnerable: Fire
Resistant: Freeze
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 18~23 HP
Comments: This attack is powerful, but it also has a pretty low
accuracy (about 40%).
Strategy
About nine hits from Jeff's "shoot" or six hits from Jeff's "shoot" and
one hit from a Bottle Rocket should defeat the Cave Boy.
Try to avoid fighting the Cave Boy at all costs. The Cave Boy moves
slower than Jeff outside of battle and should be easy to walk past. If
you end up battling one, you should be able to win with standard
attacks and possibly a Bottle Rocket if you have a Hamburger or a
Croissant. If you don't have either food item, try to run away or use a
Big Bottle Rocket.
-Jeff: "shoot," if you have both a Hamburger and a Croissant Bottle
Rocket
"run away," if you have no food items
Big Bottle Rocket, if you have no food items
recover with a Hamburger or Croissant if HP falls to 40 or lower
c)Mad Duck
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze
Attacks
-Peck at your eyes
Damage: 8~9 HP
-Make something spin around
Effect: lose 4~11 PP
-Disrupt your senses
Effect: renders a target unable to use PSI
-Fall down
Effect: none
Strategy
About three hits from Jeff's "shoot" should defeat the Mad Duck.
-Jeff: "shoot"
d)Rowdy Mouse
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze
Attacks
-Biting attack
Damage: 1 HP
10~15 HP if SMAAAASH!! hit (success rate is about 50%)
Comments: Rowdy Mouse will get a SMAAAASH!! hit about 50% of the time.
Other times, it will only inflict about 1 HP of damage or
miss.
Strategy
About two hits from Jeff's "shoot" should defeat the Rowdy Mouse. Have
at least 26 HP before engaging this enemy. Once you get the Stun Gun,
only one hit from Jeff's "shoot" should defeat this enemy.
Defeat the Rowdy Mouse before any Attack Slugs but after any Struttin'
Evil Mushrooms it may appear with.
-Jeff: "shoot"
e)Struttin' Evil Mushroom
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze, Brainshock
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 14~17 HP
-Be absentminded
Effect: none
Strategy
About two hits from Jeff's "shoot" should defeat the Struttin' Evil
Mushroom. Defeat this enemy first if it appears in a group.
Unlike other mushroom enemies, this one cannot mushroomize anyone.
-Jeff: "shoot"
recover with a food item if HP falls to 32 or lower
f)Worthless Protoplasm
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze, Paralysis, Brainshock
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 7~8 HP
-Call for help
Effect: a Worthless Protoplasm joins the battle
Size up the situation
Effect: makes this enemy feel strange
Strategy
About two hits from Jeff's "shoot" should defeat the Worthless
Protopalsm.
-Jeff: "shoot"
WALKTHROUGH
a)Brick Road
When you regain control of Jeff, walk south and enter the cave. This is
Brick Road, a simple maze where a few relatively weak enemies lurk. There
are a number of food items and tools available here and you should try to
get all of them.
When you first enter the maze, there are three routes available to you.
The top route will lead to a Rowdy Mouse and a gift box containing a Bread
Roll. Fight the Rowdy Mouse and obtain the Bread Roll if you can. If Jeff
does not have any other food item, you may need to use the Bread Roll
after defeating the Rowdy Mouse, but at least Jeff will earn some
experience points.
The middle route will lead to a Mad Duck and an Insecticide Spray. This
item is useful against Red Antoids, an enemy you will encounter a little
later.
Take the bottom route to move on to the next junction. The path to the
right leads to a Broken Iron, an item that can be fixed by Jeff into the
Slime Generator. The Slime Generator can solidify an enemy and be used an
unlimited number of times. Its usefulness is limited but should be kept.
Go back to the junction and follow the left path. From here, the maze
is pretty straightforward. There are two other gift boxes containing a
Croissant and a Stun Gun. Grab both and equip the Stun Gun.
After exiting the maze, talk to Brick Road and answer "yes" when prompted
to recover Jeff's HP. You can return to him at any time to rest.
b)Fourth Sanctuary Cave
Continue walking south and enter the next cave. This is the Fourth
Sanctuary Cave, a place Jeff will have to return to later with Ness. The
enemies here are not too difficult and should be easily defeated with a
few hits from Jeff's "shoot." If you want to level up Jeff, fight the
enemies near the entrance and return to Brick Road to recover.
Navigating the first two sections of the cave is fairly straightforward.
When you enter the third section of the cave, climb up the first rope you
see to find a Cheap Bracelet.
Further left of the entrance is an unreachable coiled up rope and a gift
box. Open the gift box to obtain a Bottle Rocket, an item you should save
for later. To continue forward, "use" the Pak of Bubble Gum to have the
Bubble Monkey float up to the rope and drop it down.
Climb this rope and another to reach the Shining Spot. You can talk to
the Shining Spot, but Jeff will not be able to fight the boss. Walk to the
left and exit the cave.
Outside, the Bubble Monkey will notice a female monkey and walk away with
her, leaving Jeff's company.
And now for a word of warning...
WARNING: The Cave Boys that lurk here are powerful and require many hits
from Jeff's "shoot" to defeat. Avoid them at all costs. Luckily,
they move slower than Jeff and are easy to walk past. If you end
up battling one, use the Bottle Rocket to inflict extra damage
and finish it off with standard attacks. If you don't have enough
food items to keep Jeff alive, use a Big Bottle Rocket to win in
one attack.
Do not go to the spot of dirt in the center of Stonehenge; the party will
come back here much later in the game. Walk south past Stonehenge to reach
Dr. Andonuts's lab.
Inside the lab, "check" the device that looks somewhat like a heater or a
furnace. This is the "Instant Revitalizing Device," a machine that will
fully recover everyone.
There is a gift box upstairs containing a Broken Pipe, which can be
repaired into the Shield Killer (30 IQ needed). The Shield Killer can
remove a shield protecting a single enemy, but it periodically fails to
work. You can find another tool for Jeff later in the game that removes
everyone's shields, including any protecting the party, but always works.
I usually keep both and use the Shield Killer against powerful PSI using
enemies.
Talk to Dr. Andonuts. It does not matter whether you answer "yes" or "no"
to his questions.
Walk over to the Sky Runner to the left and approach it from the front.
Jeff will automatically get in.
After the scene, answer "yes" when prompted to have Jeff join Ness and
Paula; if you answer "no" you will just be prompted again. Approach the
door and "use" the Bad Key Machine to unlock it.
The Bad Key Machine and the Pak of Bubble Gum will no longer be used; call
Escargo Express and store them.

Strategy
Use Fire instead of Freeze against the Boogey Tent. If Ness starts
uncontrollably crying, use Healing[beta] on him if possible and continue
to use standard attacks or use PSI Rockin.
If Jeff isn't able to inflict much damage, have him "defend" or use the
Slime Generator in each turn. The Slime Generator may not work that
often, but it can win you some free rounds.
-Ness: "bash"
PSI Rockin or Healing[beta], if crying
recover Ness with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls below her max

13~17 HP (Paula)
-Hypnosis[alpha]

Strategy
About one hit from Ness's "bash" or a hit from Paula and Jeff should
defeat the No Good Fly.

there are multiple No Good Flies, split up Ness's attack and Paula and
Jeff's attacks to defeat multiple targets in one round.
-Ness: "bash"

-Vent a terrible odor
Effect: reduce a single target's Offense by about 6%
-Has a big grin on its face
Effect: none
Strategy
Use Paralysis[alpha] to incapacitate this enemy and use any attack
thereafter to defeat it. The Smelly Ghost has pretty high Defense, and
only Ness's "bash" and Freeze are likely to inflict much damage.
If the Smelly Ghost appears in a group, use Paralysis[alpha] on it and
take care of the other enemies first. Use PSI Magnet while this enemy is
paralyzed if you want to recover some of Paula's PP.
-Ness: (first turn) Paralysis[alpha]

-Take a bite out of its poisonous fangs
Damage: 31~46 HP (Ness)
31~46 HP (Paula)
37~50 HP (Jeff)
Effect: poisons target
Comments: This attack inflicts the same amount of damage as the Zombie
Dog's standard biting attack. The chance of poisoning the
target is close to 100%.
-Make a loud, piercing howl
Effect: none
Strategy
If the Zombie Dog appears alone, you should be able to defeat it within
two rounds by just using each party member's standard attack. A hit from
Freeze[alpha] and a hit from Ness or Jeff's standard attack should also
defeat this enemy.
If the Zombie Dog appears in a group, use Freeze[beta] in the first
round to defeat it in one hit. Heal any poisoned party members after the
battle is over.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 72 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 72 or lower

-Call for help
Effect: a Zombie Possessor joins the battle
Strategy
One hit from Ness's "bash" together with a hit from either Paula or Jeff
should defeat the Zombie Possessor. One hit from Freeze[beta] will also
defeat this enemy.
This is one of the few enemies in the game that can possess a party
member with a Tiny Li'l Ghost, an enemy that can attack to inflict 1 HP
of damage or solidify a single person. Possession can be cured by
talking to the blue haired healer at the Hospital and selecting the
"purify" option.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 40 or below
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 40 or below
recover Jeff with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 52 or below
-Paula: "bash"
Freeze[beta]
-Jeff: "shoot"
WALKTHROUGH
a)Preliminaries
After leaving the holding cell, go to the Drugstore and buy a Hard Hat and
a Copper Bracelet for Jeff. Sell the Pop Gun and the Defense Spray if Jeff
has them, and call Escargo Express to store the Bad Key Machine and the
Pak of Bubble Gum.
Next, go the arms dealer behind the Pizza Shop and buy one or two Bottle
Rockets so that Jeff has two of these in his inventory. Buy the Toy Air
Gun only if Jeff does not have the Broken Air Gun.
Rest at the Hotel if the party is not at max HP/PP or if Jeff has at least
10 IQ and is carrying the Broken Iron. Jeff can repair the Broken Iron
into the Slime Generator, an item that can solidify a single random target
in battle. It's not a very powerful item, but it can be useful when Jeff's
"shoot" is not effective.
b)The Boogey Tent
Walk south of the Pizza Shop and approach the large, purple tent from the
front. A monster's face will appear on the tent and attack.
Use Fire[alpha] in every round while Ness and Jeff use their standard
attacks. If Jeff cannot inflict much damage, have him "defend" or use the
Slime Generator in every turn. The Slime Generator may not work very
often, but it can win you some free rounds. Use Lifeup if Ness's HP falls
to 100 or below and if Paula or Jeff's HP falls below max. If Ness starts
crying, use Healing[beta] on him if possible or start using PSI Rockin
[alpha].
When the Boogey Tent is defeated, it will disappear and reveal a trash
can. Open the trash can to find the Jar of Fly Honey, an item needed a
little bit later.
c)The Zombie Paper
After defeating the Boogey Tent, walk north past the circus tent. The
Apple Kid will call Ness when he reaches the road in front of the Hotel.
About 5 seconds after the phone call, a Mach Pizza deliveryman will
approach Ness and give him the Zombie Paper.
Enter the tent in central Threed and "use" the Zombie Paper. Go back to
the Hotel and rest.

Strategy
If the Armored Frog appears alone, use Freeze[alpha] together with one

Damage: 19~27 HP (Ness)
17~19 HP (Paula)
19~27 HP (Jeff)
-Exhale its arctic-cold breath
Effect: a single target catches a cold
-Laugh hysterically
Effect: none
Strategy
One hit from each party member's standard attack should defeat the Farm
Zombie. Use Fire against this enemy only if it's part of a large row.
Heal any colds after the battle is over. Defeat any Farm Zombies only
before Black Antoids.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 60 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 40 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 60 or lower
-Paula: "bash"
Fire[beta], if in a large row

d)Mini Barf
Recommended Level: 20
Vulnerable: Fire
Resistant: Freeze
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 43~59 HP (Ness)
43~55 HP (Paula)
45~61 HP (Jeff)
-Exhale a blast of stinky breath
Effect: makes the entire party uncontrollably cry
Comments: The Mini Barf uses this attack often, so don't bother healing
anyone crying.
-Spit out a sticky mucus
Effect: solidify a single target
-Vent a terrible odor
Effect: decrease a single target's Offense by about 5%
Strategy
Do not heal anyone crying and do not use Freeze against the Mini Barf.
Use Fire[alpha] instead, and use up all of Jeff's Bottle Rockets (not
the Big Bottle Rocket).
If Jeff has the Slime Generator, use it in each round once out of Bottle
Rockets. The success rate of the Slime Generator against the Mini Barf
is high enough to give you a good number of free rounds.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls below her max
recover Jeff with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 100 or lower
-Paula: Fire[beta]
-Jeff: (first few turns) Bottle Rocket
(subsequent turns) "shoot" or Slime Generator
e)No Good Fly
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze, Paralysis, Brainshock
Attacks
-Standard Attack
Damage: 6~7 HP (Ness)
6~7 HP (Paula)
7~8 HP (Jeff)
-Say something nasty
Effect: reduce a single target's Guts by about 30%
Strategy
About one hit from Ness's "bash" or a hit from Paula and Jeff's standard
attacks should defeat the No Good Fly. Try to split up Ness's attack and
Paula and Jeff's attacks when facing multiple No Good Flies to defeat two
targets in one round.
Defeat this enemy last if it appears in a group.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 14 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 14 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 16 or lower
-Paula: "bash"
-Jeff: "shoot"
f)Plain Crocodile
Vulnerable: Freeze
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 37~48 HP (Ness)
32~39 HP (Paula)
37~48 HP (Jeff)
-Swing its tail very hard
Damage: 65~100 HP (Ness)
70~78 HP (Paula)
65~100 HP (Jeff)
-Biting Attack
Damage: 65~100 HP (Ness)
73~80 HP (Paula)
65~100 HP (Jeff)
-Edge closer
Effect: none
Strategy
A hit from Freeze[alpha] and a hit from Ness's "bash" should defeat the
Plain Crocodile. If this enemy appears in a group, use Freeze[beta] to
defeat it in one hit. Defeat this enemy first in all battles.
The Plain Crocodile moves slower than the party outside of battle and
can be avoided.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls below her max
recover Jeff with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 100 or lower
-Paula: Freeze[alpha] if alone
Freeze[beta] if in a group
-Jeff: "shoot"
g)Red Antoid
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze, Paralysis, Hypnosis
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 17~23 HP (Ness)
12~16 HP (Paula)
17~23 HP (Jeff)
-Use a biting attack
Damage: 38~50 HP (Ness)
37~47 HP (Paula)
38~50 HP (Jeff)
-Defense Down[alpha]
Effect: reduce a single target's Defense by about 5%
-Call for help
Effect: a Red Antoid may join the battle
Strategy
One hit from Ness's "bash" together with a hit from either Paula or
Jeff's standard attack should defeat the Red Antoid.
One hit from Paula's Fire[beta] will also defeat the Red Antoid, though
you should only use Fire when facing a large row of enemies. Defeat Red
Antoids after any Armored Frogs or Hard Crocodiles.
If you have any Insecticide Sprays, use those against the Red Antoids to
damage all of them on screen. The Spray won't defeat a Red Antoid in one
hit, but it can weaken a Red Antoid enough to be defeated with one hit
from any party member's standard attack. The Insecticide Spray is not
very useful after Grapefruit Falls and should be used up here.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 80 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 75 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 80 or lower
-Paula: "bash"
Fire[beta]
-Jeff: "shoot"
h)Urban Zombie
Vulnerable: Fire, Flash
Resistant: Freeze
Attacks
-Standard Attack: 19~28 HP (Ness)
19~28 HP (Paula)
19~28 HP (Jeff)
-Exhale its arctic-cold breath
Effect: a single target catches a cold
-Do something very mysterious
Effect: ?
Comments: I have no idea what this attack does. The Urban Zombie uses
this attack rarely and it never seems to work.
-Laugh hysterically
Effect: nothing
Strategy
About one hit from Ness's "bash" together with a hit from either Paula
or Jeff's standard attack should defeat the Urban Zombie. Heal any colds
after the battle is over. If this enemy appears in a group, attack it
after defeating any Zombie Dogs or Zombie Possessors and before
attacking any No Good Flies.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP reaches 56 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP reaches 56 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[alpha] if HP reaches 56 or lower
-Paula: "bash"
-Jeff: "shoot"
i)Violent Roach
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze, Paralysis, Brainshock
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 19~23 HP (Ness)
13~16 HP (Paula)
19~23 HP (Jeff)
-Vent a terrible odor
Effect: reduce a single target's Offense by 5~6%
-Leap forward and spread its wings
Effect: solidify a single target
-Knit its brow
Effect: none
Strategy
One hit from each party member's standard attack should defeat the
Violent Roach.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 46 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 32 or lower
recover Ness with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 46 or lower
-Paula: "bash"
-Jeff: "shoot"
j)Zombie Dog
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze, Flash, Hypnosis
Attacks
-Biting attack
Damage: 31~46 HP (Ness)
31~46 HP (Paula)
37~50 HP (Jeff)
-Take a bite out of its poisonous fangs
Damage: 31~46 HP (Ness)
31~46 HP (Paula)
37~50 HP (Jeff)
Effect: poisons target
Comments: As far as I can tell, this attack inflicts the same amount of
damage as the Zombie Dog's standard biting attack. The chance
of poisoning its target is close to 100%.
-Make a loud, piercing howl
Effect: none
Strategy
If the Zombie Dog appears alone, you should be able to defeat it within
two rounds by just using each party member's standard attack. A hit from
Freeze[alpha] and a hit from Ness or Jeff's standard attack should also
defeat this enemy.
If the Zombie Dog appears in a group, use Freeze[beta] in the first
round to defeat it in one hit. Heal any poisoned party members after the
battle is over.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 72 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 72 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 90 or lower
-Paula: "bash"
Freeze[alpha]
Freeze[beta]
-Jeff: "shoot"
k)Zombie Possessor
Vulnerable: Freeze, Flash
Resistant: Fire
Attack
-Standard attack
Damage: 16~20 HP (Ness)
16~20 HP (Paula)
16~20 HP (Jeff)
-Reach out with its icy hand
Effect: solidify a single target
-Possess
Effect: posses a single party member with a Tiny Li'l Ghost
-Call for help
Effect: a Zombie Possessor joins the battle
Strategy
About one hit from Ness's "bash" together with a hit from either Paula
or Jeff's standard attack should defeat the Zombie Possessor. One hit
from Freeze[beta] will also defeat this enemy.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 40 or below
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 40 or below
recover Jeff with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 40 or below
-Paula: "bash"
Freeze[beta]
-Jeff: "shoot"
WALKTHROUGH
a)Preliminaries
If Ness has not learned Healing[beta], buy a few Refreshing Herbs from the
Drugstore and use it after battles when someone gets poisoned. Buy about 3
Calorie Sticks as well if the party does not have any food items.
Next, talk to the arms dealer behind the Pizza Shop and buy 1 or 2 Bottle
Rockets for Jeff; save these for a mini-boss fight coming up soon. You
should also bring along the Teddy Bear found in a trash can in the
northeast part of town.
b)The Underground Passage
Once the zombies are trapped in the circus tent, go to the northwest
graveyard and climb down the ladder that was previously blocked by the
two zombies.
The passage itself is very linear, and you should have no trouble finding
your way to the other side. The difficulty comes from the powerful enemies
that lurk here and how quickly Ness and Paula's PP can be drained if you
aren't careful. Use a PSI Caramel on Ness if you have any when his PP runs
low or use food items, such as Calorie Sticks and Croissants, as a
substitute for Lifeup. If you encounter any Zombie Dogs, use Freeze[alpha]
or [beta] against them in the first round to defeat them quickly. Use
Freeze against Zombie Possessors if you do not want to be possessed.
You will come across a couple of caskets as you travel through the
passage. The first casket contains a Skip Sandwich DX, an item that
recovers 6~7 HP and increases walking speed for about 20 seconds. The
second casket contains a Silver Bracelet, which should be equipped on
Paula.
The Mini Barf will be waiting at the end of the passage. The Mini Barf is
not too difficult to defeat, but you may deplete much of Ness and Paula's
PP during the battle. Use Fire[alpha] in each round while Jeff uses up all
of his Bottle Rockets (do not use any Big Bottle Rockets). Use the Slime
Generator in each round after that if Jeff has it. Don't use Healing on
anyone crying and use Lifeup to keep everyone's HP above 100 or at
maximum, whichever is lower.
c)Grapefruit Falls
The exit of the underground passage leads to Grapefruit Falls, another
straightforward area where powerful enemies lurk. Standing outside the
exit of the underground passage is an old man selling a few food items.
Buy a Croissant or a Calorie Stick if the party does not have any food
items.
A Magic Butterfly sometimes spawns near the old man, so exit and reenter
Grapefruit Falls if you don't see one. Further up along the river are two
gift boxes containing a Bomb and a Protein Drink.
The enemies here can be difficult. The Red Antoids and the Farm Zombies
can be defeated with standard "bash" attacks, but the Plain Crocodile and
the Armored Frog should be defeated with Freeze. Use Lifeup often when
fighting these enemies, and use food items if Ness's PP runs low. If you
have any Insecticide Sprays, use them against the Red Antoids.
Keep walking north along the river to eventually find a short cave. This
cave leads east to Saturn Valley, the next village. Open the gift box near
the middle of the cave to a obtain a Bottle Rocket, which should be saved
for the upcoming Third Sanctuary boss.

ENEMIES
a)Farm Zombie

Resistant: Freeze
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 19~27 HP (Ness)
17~19 HP (Paula)
19~27 HP (Jeff)
-Exhale its arctic-cold breath
Effect: a single target catches a cold
-Laugh hysterically
Effect: none
Strategy
One hit from Ness's "bash" together with one hit from either Paula or
Jeff's standard attack will defeat the Farm Zombie. Use Fire against
this enemy only if it appears with a large row of foes. Heal any colds
after the battle is over.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 60 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 40 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 60 or lower
-Paula: "bash"
Fire[beta], if in a large row
-Jeff: "shoot"
b)Foppy
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze, Paralysis, Brainshock
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 11~14 HP (Ness)
8~9 HP (Paula)
11~14 HP (Jeff)
-PSI Magnet[alpha]
Comments: The Foppy cannot use PSI for the first four rounds of battle.
-Brainshock[alpha]
-Be absentminded
Effect: none
Strategy
One hit from Ness's "bash" or a hit from Paula and Jeff's standard
attacks should defeat the Foppy. If multiple Foppies appear, split up
Ness's attack and Paula and Jeff's attacks to defeat two targets in one
round.
If Paula is low on PP, use PSI Magnet[alpha] or [omega] to recover.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 45 or below when
facing a large group
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 45 or below when
facing a large group
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 45 or below when
facing a large group
-Paula: "bash"
PSI Magnet[alpha] or [omega]
-Jeff: "shoot"
c)Master Belch
Recommended Level: 24
Vulnerable: Hypnosis
Attacks
-Burp and blow his nauseating breath at you
Effect: a single target gets afflicted with nausea
Comments: Master Belch will use this attack in the first round
(unless he's asleep) even if you use the Jar of Fly Honey
first. Use Healing[beta] or a Refreshing Herb to cure the
affected party member. Otherwise, use Lifeup to keep the
person alive.
Strategy
Use the Jar of Fly Honey in the first round. Use standard attacks
thereafter or have Paula use Freeze[beta] to end the battle quickly.
Master Belch cannot be defeated unless you use the Jar of Fly Honey.
-Ness: "bash"
Healing[beta] on anyone nauseous
Lifeup[alpha], if Healing[beta] or a Refreshing Herb is not
available
-Paula: "bash"
Freeze[beta]
-Jeff: "shoot"
d)Mostly Bad Fly
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze, Paralysis
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 16~19 HP (Ness)
14~16 HP (Paula)
16~19 HP (Jeff)
-Say something nasty
Effect: lower Guts of a single target by about 25%
Strategy
A hit from Paula and Jeff's standard attack should defeat the Mostly Bad
Fly. Ness should be able to inflict just barely enough damage to defeat
this enemy with a single "bash" attack. Use any leftover Insecticide
Sprays when fighting multiple Mostly Bad Flies.
This enemy occasionally appears with the Slimy Little Pile. Paralyze or
defeat the Slimy Little Pile before attacking the Mostly Bad Fly.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 40 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 32 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 40 or lower
-Paula: "bash"

Vulnerable: Paralysis
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 32~46 HP (Ness)
32~40 HP (Paula)
32~46 HP (Jeff)
-Exhale a blast of stinky breath
Effect: causes the entire party to start uncontrollably crying
Comments: The Slimy Little Pile uses this attack very often, so don't
bother to heal anyone crying.
-Spit out sticky mucus
Effect: solidifies a single target
-Call for help
Effect: another Slimy Little Pile joins the battle
Strategy
If the Slimy Little Pile appears alone, use Paralysis[alpha] or Freeze
[alpha] to win easily.
If this enemy appears with another Slimy Little Pile, use Paralysis
[alpha] on one and Freeze[beta] on the other. When facing three or
more Slimy Little Piles, use Fire[beta] together with about a hit from
both Ness and Jeff's standard attacks to defeat one in each round.
Defeat or paralyze this enemy first before attacking any other.
-Ness: (first turn) Paralysis[alpha], if Freeze is not used
(subsequent turns) "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 80 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 80 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 80 or lower
-Paula: Freeze[alpha], if Paralysis is not used or if everybody is
crying
Freeze[beta], if Paralysis is not used
Fire[beta], if there is a large row of enemies
-Jeff: "shoot"
WALKTHROUGH
a)Saturn Valley
Enter the first house on the left to rest and recover. If anyone is
unconscious or possessed, enter the house on the right and the "doctor"
inside will heal everyone for free.
Enter the cave north of the hotel and talk to the Mr. Saturn that tells
you to wait three minutes behind the waterfall in Grapefruit Falls (an
ominous tone will play after talking to this Mr. Saturn). If this Mr.
Saturn is not talked to, waiting three minutes behind the waterfall will
do nothing.
Climb the ladder leading out of the cave and the next ladder outside to
reach the upper house. This is the Saturn Valley store. Check the strange
machine on the left side of the room to withdraw some money. Talk to the
Mr. Saturn standing south of the entrance and buy Silver Bracelets and
Great Charms. Buy a Red Ribbon and a Bionic Slingshot for Paula as well.
The Bionic Slingshot has a slightly lower accuracy than the party's
standard weapons and cannot get SMAAAASH!! hits, but the Bionic Slingshot
is a good enough improvement over the Thick Fry Pan to be worthwhile.
If Ness has not learned Healing[beta], buy a Refreshing Herb from the
other Mr. Saturn in preparation for an upcoming boss.
b)Belch's Factory
Be sure to take the Jar of Fly Honey with you--it's needed to defeat the
upcoming boss. Exit Saturn Valley and go back to Grapefruit Falls.
Walk further north along the river and into the waterfall. Walk west
behind the water and press up on the d-pad. An unknown voice should tell
you to "Say the password!" If the dialogue window only says "...", return
to Saturn Valley and talk to the Mr. Saturn mentioned above. Stay behind
the waterfall for three minutes without pressing the D-PAD; otherwise, you
will have to start over. Pressing any other button will not reset the
timer.
When the unknown voice says, "Okay...you may enter," the party will go
inside the base. You will not have to wait three minutes again to reenter
the base if you leave.
Inside the base, a Slimly Little Pile will ask if the party has brought
any Fly Honey. Answer "yes" to avoid a battle. If you answer "no" and
fight this enemy, use Paralysis[alpha] on it in the first round to prevent
it from making everyone cry. Freeze[alpha] or [beta] is also effective.
To the right is a ladder and a door. The door leads to a trash can
containing a Bomb, an item that is not very helpful. Three or four Farm
Zombies usually guard this trash can.
Climb down the ladder to continue through the base. There is likely to be
a swarm of Foppies at the bottom, but these enemies should be easy to
defeat with standard attacks. If Paula is low on PP, use PSI Magnet[alpha]
or [omega] to take some PP from them. If you want to level up, the Foppy
is the best enemy to fight. Stay close to the first ladder because many
Foppies spawn in this area.
To the left is a second ladder, at the bottom of which are two trash cans
usually guarded by three or four Farm Zombies. The trash cans contain an
IQ Capsule and the Broken Laser, both of which can be helpful. Give the
Broken Laser to Jeff and use the IQ Capsule on Ness or Paula (to increase
their max PP) or Jeff (to help him repair items). I suggest Paula, since
she relies the most on PSI attacks.
Continue walking west to find a third ladder. This ladder leads to three
trash cans usually guarded by two or three Mostly Bad Flies and possibly a
Slimy Little Pile. The trash cans hold a Vital Capsule, an HP-Sucker, and
a Calorie Stick. If you get the Vital Capsule, use it to increase
someone's max HP at the next level up (Paula is the best choice). The HP-
Sucker is a tool for Jeff that drains roughly 10 to 20% of an enemy's max
HP and gives it to Jeff. It drains little HP from normal enemies and
rarely works on bosses, and I usually sell it for $400.
To the left of the ladder is the Magic Butterfly room. Use Lifeup on each
person before touching the Butterfly, and exit and reenter the room as
much as you need until all HP and PP are recovered.
Continue walking west and another Slimy Little Pile will attack. Use
Paralysis[alpha] or Freeze[alpha] to defeat it.
Master Belch will be waiting in the next room. Talk to him to start the
battle, and use the Jar of Fly Honey in the first round to render him
unable to attack in subsequent rounds. Unfortunately, Master Belch will
use his nauseating breath attack at least once (unless he's asleep) even
if the Jar of Fly Honey is used before he attacks. Use Healing[beta] or a
Refreshing Herb to cure the affected character.
Once Master Belch is defeated, enter the doorway he was blocking and walk
through the cave. The party will end up in the upper part of Saturn Valley
near a hot spring. The hot spring can cure all status effects but will not
restore any HP or PP. If someone is nauseous, enter the hot spring and
walk around in it until the game tells you the party is cleansed.
EXTRAS
a)Coffee Break
Purpose: read some text that talks about the party's adventure; can only
be done after defeating Master Belch
Standing next to the hot spring is a Mr. Saturn that will offer some
coffee. If you answer "yes" to its offer, a funky background will fill the
screen and some scrolling text will appear. The text has a colloquial
tone, and the speaker sounds as though he is talking to Ness. It begins by
summarizing Ness's adventure up to this point and warns of the
difficulties to come, advising Ness to keep up his courage and have faith
in his goal.
There is no need to read this speech of sorts. If you decide to read it,
you will have to sit through the whole thing before resuming.

ENEMIES
a)Ranboob
Vulnerable: Fire
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 28~42 HP (Ness)
9~10 HP (Paula)
28~42 HP (Jeff)
-Shield[alpha]
Comments: Use Paula's Freeze or Fire to bypass a Shield.
-Sprinkle around some wonderful-smelling powder
Effect: make a single target fall asleep
Strategy
If the Ranboob appears alone, use standard attacks to defeat it within
two rounds. Use Freeze[beta] or Fire[beta] if this enemy appears in a
group. Always defeat the Ranboob last. Use PSI Magnet if Paula's PP is
low.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 70 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 20 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 70 or lower
-Paula: "bash"
Freeze[beta]
Fire[beta], if facing a large row
PSI Magnet[omega] or [alpha] if PP is low
-Jeff: "shoot"
b)Struttin' Evil Mushroom
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze, Brainshock
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 10~13 HP (Ness)
1 HP (Paula)
10~13 HP (Jeff)
-Scatter some spores
Effect: mushroomize a single target
-Scatter some spores
Effect: poison a single target
Strategy
The Struttin' Evil Mushroom is the most dangerous enemy in this area
because of its ability to mushroomize someone. Use Freeze[alpha] to
defeat it quickly, or use Fire[beta] along with standard attacks when
facing more than one. If this enemy manages to mushroomize two or more
people, it may be a good idea to return to Saturn Valley and recover in
the hot spring.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness and Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 25 or
lower
-Paula: "bash"
Freeze[alpha]
Fire[beta], if facing more than one
-Jeff: "shoot"
c)Tough Mobile Sprout
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze, Paralysis, Brainshock
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 16~19 HP (Ness)
1 HP (Paula)
16~19 HP (Jeff)
-Lifeup[alpha]
-PSI Magnet[alpha]
-Sow some seeds around itself
Effect: a Tough Mobile Sprout may join the battle
Strategy
A hit from any two party member's standard attacks should defeat the
Tough Mobile Sprout. Use Fire[beta] only if it appears in a large group.
Defeat this enemy after any Struttin' Evil Mushrooms and before any
Ranboobs. Use PSI Magnet if Paula's PP is low.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness and Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 36 or
lower
-Paula: "bash"
Fire[beta], if facing a large row
PSI Magnet[omega] or [alpha] if PP is low
-Jeff: "shoot"
d)Trillionage Sprout (Sanctuary Boss)
Recommended Level: 26
Vulnerable: Fire
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 56~62 HP (Ness)
35~40 HP (Paula)
39~50 HP (Jeff)
-Flash[alpha]
-PSI Shield[alpha]
-Paralysis[alpha]
-Glare with its eerie eyes
Effect: diamondize a single target
Comments: Use a Secret Herb to cure diamondization. Secret Herbs can be
bought in Saturn Valley.
Strategy
If no one is mushroomized, use PSI Rockin[beta] and Fire[beta] in each
round. Have Jeff use up any (Big) Bottle Rockets and Bombs you might
have while keeping everyone alive with food items. If you're low on food
or Ness is low on PP, "bash" and conserve PP for Lifeup.
If somebody is mushroomized, you might want to change the way that
character fights if you don't want to risk being attacked by your own
party. If Ness is mushroomized, have him only use Lifeup when necessary
and use "defend" in all other rounds. If Jeff is mushroomized, do not
use a Big Bottle Rocket and just have him use food items or "defend."
If Paula is mushroomized, you may be forced to rely on Ness's "bash" or
PSI Rockin for offense. Use food items if possible to keep Ness alive
while he attacks; save his PP for Lifeup and Healing if you're low on
food and use Offense Up[alpha] to increase his strength. Use Freeze
[beta] if you think you can recover someone mortally wounded in time.
If two or more characters are mushroomized, it will be too costly to
have all affected party members stay out of the fight. Either stick with
standard attacks and food items or return to Saturn Valley and recover.
-Ness: PSI Rockin[beta]
"bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 80 or lower
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
"defend" or Lifeup, if mushroomized
-Paula: Fire[beta]
food items, if mushroomized
Offense Up[alpha], if mushroomized
Freeze[beta], if mushroomized
-Jeff: (first turn) Big Bottle Rocket
"shoot," Bottle Rocket, or Bombs if available
food items
"defend", if mushroomized
WALKTHROUGH
a)Preparation
This is probably the hardest sanctuary location to complete if you try to
get the third melody now. If you find the enemies in the Third Sanctuary
Cave are too hard, you can come back later.
Go to the store and buy two Secret Herbs in preparation for the sanctuary
boss; have two different party members carry one each. Stock up on Peanut
Cheese Bars if you're low on food and give them to Paula and Jeff. Also,
call Escargo Express and store the Jar of Fly Honey because it will no
longer be used.
Next, enter the cave below the store and talk to one of the Mr. Saturns.
He will give the party a Cup of Lifenoodles, a Mr. Saturn Coin, and a Stag
Beetle. Equip the Mr. Saturn Coin on Paula and give the Cup of Lifenoodles
to Ness. The Stag Beetle is not very useful and can be sold.
b)Third Sanctuary Area Enemies
The Third Sanctuary Cave is located near the hot spring. The biggest
threat here is the Struttin' Evil Mushroom's ability to mushroomize the
party. There's a good chance one person will get mushroomized by the time
you reach the Shining Spot, but it's unlikely that any more will be
affected if you fight aggressively.
Always defeat any Struttin' Evil Mushrooms first. One hit from Freeze
[alpha] will usually defeat it; use Fire[beta] and standard attacks when
facing more than one.
The Tough Mobile Sprouts and the Ranboobs can be taken care of with Fire
[beta] if a large group of them appears. Defeat any Tough Mobile Sprouts
before attacking any Ranboobs, since Tough Mobile Sprouts can drain much
needed PP from Ness and Paula with PSI Magnet[alpha] and spawn more Tough
Mobile Sprouts by sowing their seeds. Use PSI Magnet against the Ranboobs
to recover PP for Paula.
The path to the Third Sanctuary Location is short and straightforward. The
first two rooms in the cave are the hardest because a large group of
enemies is likely to be found here. If Paula gets mushroomized in this
cave, return to the hot spring.
Past the first cave is an outdoor area where Magic Butterflies often
spawn. Continue walking south, turn east at the bend, and enter the last
cave.
The gift box here contains a Coin of Slumber. This item does not provide
as much protection as the Mr. Saturn Coin and should be equipped on Jeff.
Walk east to reach the Shining Spot.
d)Sanctuary Boss Battle
If you reach the Shining Spot without anyone getting mushroomized, the
Trillionage Sprout should be fairly easy. Use Fire[beta] and PSI Rockin
[beta] in each round while Jeff uses up any (Big) Bottle Rockets and Bombs
he has. Have Jeff keep everyone alive with food items. Use a Secret Herb
to cure anyone diamondized.
If only one person is mushroomized, have that person "defend" or use food
items or Lifeup to keep everyone's HP up. Paula can also use Offense Up
[alpha] or even Freeze if you think you can recover a mortally wounded
party member in time.
If two or more people are mushroomized, you can either go back to Saturn
Valley and recover, or you can just risk the fight and rely mostly on
standard attacks.
e)Out of Threed
With Master Belch defeated, Threed is now back to normal and the tunnels
leading out of town are no longer infested by ghosts. Return to Threed and
take the bus going east out of town (you may also want to do the
Insignificant Item sidequest now for a Magic Truffle; see the "Extras"
section below).
EXTRAS
a)Insignificant Item
Purpose: receive a Magic Truffle (recovers 80 PP)
If you're the type of player that likes to talk to everyone in an RPG, you
may have met a man in the hospital in Twoson talking about an item he left
in the hospital in Threed. To find this item, go to the second floor of
Threed Hospital and enter the room on the left. Approach the drawer and
"check" it to get the Insignificant Item. This item does absolutely
nothing and sells for only $1.
Go to Twoson Hospital and enter the room on the left on the second floor.
Talk to the man inside and give him the Insignificant Item. He will give
you a Magic Truffle in return.

117~143 HP (Jeff)
-Knit its brow
Effect: none
Strategy
Have at least 150 or near max HP (whichever is lower) before fighting
the Bad Buffalo. Use Paralysis[alpha] in the first round to immobilize
this enemy. Defeat all other enemies other than the Smilin' Sphere after
that.
-Ness: (first turn) Paralysis[alpha]
"bash"
-Paula: "bash"
-Jeff: "shoot"
b)Crested Booka

recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 60 or lower
-Paula: "bash
-Jeff: "shoot"
c)Criminal Caterpillar
If you see this enemy, always chase after it. A victory against the
Criminal Caterpillar will almost always reward enough experience points to
level up somebody. It looks like a small green worm outside of battle.
The Criminal Caterpillar appears rarely and always runs away from the
party, allowing you to easily approach it from behind and get an instant
victory. You will likely never have to face this enemy in battle, but if
you do, use PSI Shield[sigma] to defend against its Fire.
d)Cute Li'l UFO
Vulnerable: Brainshock
Attacks
-Fire a beam
Damage: 30~42 HP (Ness)
23~25 HP (Paula)
30~42 HP (Jeff)

37~48 HP (Paula)
50~60 HP (Jeff)
Effect: poison a single target

with Freeze[beta] in the first round. Heal any poisoned party members
after the battle is over.
Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 60 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 50 or lower

8~10 HP (Paula)
18~19 HP (Jeff)
-Thunder[alpha]
-Sting with its poison stinger

Strategy
About one hit from Ness or Jeff's standard attack or one use of Freeze
[alpha] should defeat the Skelpion. Keep the Franklin Badge in Paula's
inventory to protect her from Thunder[alpha]. If this enemy appears in a

any other. Heal any poisoned party member after the battle is over.
-Ness: "bash"

Resistant: Freeze
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 33~38 HP (Ness)
22~24 HP (Paula)
33~38 HP (Jeff)
-Fire[alpha]
Comments: Use PSI Shield[sigma] to defend against this attack.
-Laugh maniacally
Effect: makes a single target feel strange
-Explode into bits (death action)
Damage: 200~300 HP
Peripheral Damage: 50~200 HP
Comments: This attack should inflict only about 50 HP of damage if you
defeat the Smilin' Sphere last and scroll through the battle
text as quickly as you can.
Strategy
Use PSI Shield[sigma] (if learned) in the first round to defend against
the Smilin' Sphere's Fire[alpha]. A hit from each party member's
standard attack should defeat this enemy. Always defeat the Smilin'
Sphere last in order to minimize damage when it explodes.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 60 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 60 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 60 or lower

(subsequent turns) "bash"
-Jeff: "shoot"
WALKTHROUGH
a)Preliminaries
When you reach Dusty Dunes Desert, go to the Drugstore and buy a Mr.
Baseball Bat for Ness, a Deluxe Fry Pan for Paula, and a Coin of Slumber
for whomever needs it.
If Jeff does not have the Laser Gun or the Broken Laser, it may be a good
idea to buy a Zip Gun from the Arms Dealer standing north of the Drugstore
(if Jeff was equipped with the Magnum Air Gun, call Escargo Express and
store it). If the Broken Laser has not been repaired yet (24 IQ needed),
don't rest at the Drugstore to get it fixed; there is a place you can
sleep for free coming up soon.
As you walk through the desert, you may notice the screen periodically
flashing red. This happens when somebody is suffering from sunstroke,
which causes the ailing character to suffer 2 HP of damage every 4 seconds
outside of battle and 4 HP of damage per turn in battle. Use Healing
[alpha] or a Wet Towel to cure sunstroke.
b)Trudging Through the Desert
With heavy traffic blocking the road, the party will have no choice but
to walk through the desert. The only thing you have to do here is talk to
the miner located to the east and give him a food item. Just follow the
rocks lining the southern edge of the desert to find him and his shack.
There is a gift box along the way containing a Big Bottle Rocket; take it
and give it to Jeff. The man inside the shack will let the party rest for
free.
The enemies here should not give you too much trouble. Use Freeze to
defeat Skelpions and Desert Wolves quickly and Paralysis on Bad Buffalo
to immobilize them. Defeat any Smilin' Spheres last in battle because they
will explode when defeated and can inflict heavy damage. Use Paula's PSI
Shield[sigma] (if learned) to defend against the Smilin' Sphere's Fire,
and keep everyone's HP above 60 to ensure everyone survives the explosion.
NOTE: The Criminal Caterpillar is another enemy that can be found in the
desert. It appears rarely and always runs away from the party, but
defeating it will usually provide enough experience points to level
up somebody. The Criminal Caterpillar looks like a small green worm
outside of battle, and because it's easy to approach from behind
you'll likely get an instant victory if you catch it.
If you want to explore a bit, there are some gift boxes you can find and a
few characters you can meet in the desert. You can also search for a
contact lens someone lost and return it to its owner in Fourside for a
Pair of Dirty Socks (see Extras section below for details). All in all,
though, there is not much in the desert worth your time, and you should
just give the miner a food item and proceed to Fourside.
The tunnel to Fourside is in the southeast at the end of the road through
the desert.
EXTRAS
a)Contact Lens
Purpose: Receive a Pair of Dirty Socks, an item that solidifies a random
enemy in battle; can only be used once
Northwest of the miner's shack is a sign that offers a reward for finding
and returning a pair of contact lenses someone lost in the desert. Finding
the contact lenses is not as hard as you might think; just look for
something shining on the ground a little bit northeast of the sign. Pick
up the lenses and take them to a man living in the second floor of the
Bakery in Fourside (the Bakery is near the eastern edge of the city). The
man will give the party a Pair of Dirty Socks in return. This item can
solidify a random enemy when used in battle but can only be used once.

81~100 HP (Paula)

Comments: The Mad Taxi uses this attack often. Use Paralysis[alpha] in
the first round before Ness and Jeff start crying.
Strategy
Use Paralysis[alpha] in the first round and standard attacks thereafter.
If the Mad Taxi appears with a Crazed Sign, paralyze the Mad Taxi and
defeat the Crazed Sign first.
According to starmen.net, this enemy has a 1/128 chance of dropping the
Xterminator Spray, an item that inflicts about 200 HP of damage to all
bugs. The in-game description states the spray can be used "many times,"
suggesting the item can be used indefinitely (Thanks to: C.V. Reynolds).

lower
-Paula: "bash"
-Jeff: "shoot"
WALKTHROUGH
a)To the City and Back
There's not a whole lot to do on the first visit to Fourside. You can
visit Pokey in the Monotoli Building, but you'll get nothing for doing so.
No good equipment is being sold here yet either, but if you don't have the
Slime Generator, you can buy a Broken Iron from a guy with a mohawk in
northern Fourside.
Go to Topolla Theater in central Fourside and talk to the owner of the
theater. Enter the theater, buy a Show Ticket for $30, and go into the
owner's office to the left. Talk to the owner and then return to the
miner's shack in Dusty Dunes Desert. You can watch the Runaway Five's
performance if you want, but the show is a little long and you don't have
to watch it.

About two hits from Freeze[beta] or one hit from Freeze[gamma] should
defeat the Guardian Digger. Ness should keep everyone's HP above 100
with Lifeup while Jeff uses the Slime Generator in each round. Don't use
standard attacks.
-Ness: "defend"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
-Paula: Freeze[beta]
Freeze[gamma], if learned
-Jeff: "defend"
Slime Generator
c)Mad Duck
These guys are only a minor nuisance but avoid fighting them if possible.
They do not inflict much damage, but their PP draining attacks can be
annoying. Attack them only after defeating any other enemies the Mad Duck
may appear with.
d)Noose Man
Vulnerable: Fire, Brainshock
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 25~40 HP (Ness)
19~21 HP (Paula)
25~40 HP (Jeff)
-Employ a binding attack
Effect: solidify a single target
Strategy
A hit from Ness and Jeff's standard attacks should defeat the Noose Man.
If a group of these enemies appear, one use of Fire[beta] followed by a
standard attack should defeat this enemy. Only attack this enemy after
defeating anything other than a Mad Duck.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 80 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 50 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 80 or lower
-Paula: "bash"
Fire[beta], if facing a large group
-Jeff: "shoot"
e)Thirsty Coil Snake
Vulnerable: Freeze, Paralysis
Attacks
-Biting attack
Damage: 35~50 HP (Ness)
25~35 HP (Paula)
35~50 HP (Jeff)
-Take a bite using its poisonous fangs
Damage: 35~50 HP (Ness)
25~35 HP (Paula)
35~50 HP (Jeff)
Comments: This attack will almost always poisons its target. As far as I
can tell, it inflicts the same damage as this enemy's standard
biting attack.
-Coil around you and attack
Effect: solidify a single target
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Thirsty Coil Snake within two rounds
using standard attacks. One hit from Paula's Freeze[beta] will also
defeat this enemy. Heal any poisoned party member after the battle is
over.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 70 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 60 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 70 or lower
-Paula: "bash"
Freeze[beta]
-Jeff: "shoot"
WALKTHROUGH
a)The Five Moles
The gold mine that was previously just a hole should now be much bigger.
If it is not, give the miner a food item and/or return to Fourside and
talk to the theater owner in Topolla theater. If you obtained an Exit
Mouse earlier in Onett, carry it with you; otherwise, you can get one
inside the mine.
The main objective here is to defeat five moles located in various parts
of the mine. You do not have to fight them in any order, and despite what
they say they are all of the same strength. The main problem with
navigating this mine is PP preservation. If you have any extra food items
in your inventory, use those instead of Lifeup to recover after battles,
and return to the shack outside with an Exit Mouse if Ness's PP runs low.
Use PSI Magnet against Gigantic Ants and the moles if you ever get the
chance. If Ness has enough PP, you can try paralyzing a Gigantic Ant and
using PSI Magnet repeatedly until enough PP is recovered.
My walkthrough here will give a suggestion on how to navigate this mine,
but you do not have to follow it by any means.
Upon entering the mine, walk all the way north and go down the ladder.
From the ladder, walk west and fight the first mole. These moles have high
offensive power but can be defeated with just Freeze. They have a Shield
up from the beginning of the battle, so don't use any standard attacks.
Ness should "defend" and use Lifeup to keep everyone's HP above 100 while
Jeff uses the Slime Generator in each round. You should be able to defeat
these moles within two rounds.
Open the gift box behind the mole to find an IQ Capsule. Use it on either
Paula or Ness to increase their max PP at the next level up.
Go up the ladder and walk as far south as you can. The path will bend
northwest. Follow this path to find a gift box containing a Big Bottle
Rocket; give it to Jeff.
Continue north and go down the ladder to find the second mole.
Defeat the mole and take the Coin of Defense from the gift box; equip it
on Jeff (or Paula if she's not wearing the Mr. Saturn Coin).
Walk west and up the ladder. Follow the path south to come across a fork;
go east to find a Teddy Bear. Go south and a little to the east to reach
the center of the mine.
If Ness's PP is low at this point, receive an Exit Mouse and go back to
the miner's shack to rest. Return to this location after resting (from the
entrance, turn west at the first junction and south at the next).
Go down the south passage to find the third mole. Obtain the Luck Capsule
and the Platinum Band after the battle, and equip the Platinum Band on
Paula.
Return to the center of the mine and go north to reach the fourth mole.
Use the Guts Capsule behind the mole on Ness.
Return to the center of the mine and go through the southwest passage. The
ladder on the way leads to a Super Bomb, an item that should probably be
given to Jeff.
Continue following the passage west to the final mole. When all the moles
are defeated, the music in the mine will change.
b)Free the Runaway Five
After defeating the five moles, return to the surface and talk to the
miner. Go to the bus stop near the Drugstore and take a bus to Fourside.
On the way, one of the miners will drive up behind the bus and give the
party a Diamond.
Go the owner of Topolla Theater and "use" the Diamond while standing next
to her.

ENEMIES
a)Dept. Store Spook
Recommended Level: 31
Attacks
-Freeze[alpha]
-Fire[alpha]
-Lifeup[alpha]
-PSI Magnet[omega]
-Brainshock[alpha]
Strategy
Use PSI Rockin[beta] and a Big Bottle Rocket to win in one round.
If you don't have a Big Bottle Rocket, give all your food items to Jeff
before the fight. If you have an ample supply of food, use PSI Rockin
[beta] while Jeff keeps everyone alive. Otherwise, conserve Ness's PP
for Lifeup and rely on standard attacks. Keep everyone near max HP to
avoid getting knocked out by Freeze.
-Ness: (first turn) PSI Rockin[beta]
(subsequent turns) "bash", if battle is not over in one round
-Jeff: (first turn) Big Bottle Rocket
(subsequent turns) "shoot", if battle is not over in one round
b)Musica
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 50~55 HP (Ness)
30~35 HP (Jeff)
-Electrical shock attack
Comments: equivalent to Thunder[beta]
-Play a haunting melody
Effect: causes multiple targets to fall asleep
Strategy
As long as Ness or Jeff has the Franklin Badge, using only standard
attacks against the Musica should suffice. Don't hesitate to use PSI
Rockin[beta] if you're facing a group or otherwise get into trouble.
Attack this enemy only after defeating any Mystical Records and Scalding
Coffee Cups.
If you're having trouble with the Musica, try avoiding fighting it
altogether (see WALKTHROUGH section below).
-Ness: "bash"
PSI Rockin[beta], if facing a group
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 70 or lower if he
has the Franklin Badge
-Jeff: "shoot"
c)Mystical Record
Vulnerable: Fire, Brainshock
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 30~45 HP (Ness)
15~25 HP (Jeff)
-Charge forward
Damage: 75~120 HP (Ness)
60~95 HP (Jeff)
-Lifeup[alpha]
Strategy
Use PSI Rocking[beta] if the Mystical Record appears in a group of two
or more enemies. Be sure that Ness and Jeff's HP are near max before
entering into battle and try to approach this enemy from behind. Attack
any Mystical Records after defeating any Scalding Coffee Cups.
-Ness: "bash"
PSI Rockin[beta]
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[alpha] or [beta] if HP falls below max
-Jeff: "shoot"
d)Scalding Coffee Cup
Vulnerable: Freeze
Attacks
-Spill some scalding hot espresso
Damage: 60~100 HP to all party members
Strategy
A hit from Ness and Jeff's standard attacks should defeat the Scalding
Coffee Cup. Use PSI Rockin[alpha] or [beta] if this enemy appears in a
group. Defeat this enemy first before attacking any other.
-Ness: "bash"
PSI Rockin[alpha] or [beta], if facing a group
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[alpha] or [beta] if HP falls below max
-Jeff: "shoot"
WALKTHROUGH
a)Preparation
Before going any further, transfer some of Paula's goods to Ness or Jeff's
inventory. Equip Jeff with your best defensive items--give him the
Franklin Badge, the Mr. Saturn Coin, and the Platinum Band if you have
them and give Ness the Coin of Defense. Don't sell anything you might need
later since this is only a temporary setup.
b)Mook Spook
The Fourside Dept. Store will open once the Runaway Five is free. Be at
max HP/PP before entering the store.
There are a few things you should buy in the Dept. Store. First, go to the
arms dealer on the second floor and get a Hyper Beam for Jeff. If Jeff
does not have at least two Big Bottle Rockets in his inventory, buy one or
two of those as well. Next, go to the Tool Shop on the third floor and buy
whatever armor that may benefit Ness and Jeff (most likely a Gold Bracelet
for Ness). Don't buy anything for Paula. Altogether, you will need about
$3600 to buy what you need. Walk back to the entrance of the Store.
Once the lights go out, head towards the fourth floor of the building. The
enemies on the way are powerful but can be avoided--the gift boxes can
only move in a straight line and can be dodged by moving out of their line
of movement. After that, you can try to encounter them from behind to get
a surprise opening attack or continue on your way. Keep in mind that if
you get a green swirl, you have a 100% chance of being able to "run away"
in the first round.
Always keep Ness and Jeff's HP at or near max while going up the Dept.
Store. Use PSI Rockin[beta] if you face a group of two or more enemies.
Otherwise, use standard attacks and Lifeup for recovery. Always defeat any
Scalding Coffee Cups first and Mystical Records second.
Enter the fourth floor office and talk to the creature behind the desk to
start the battle. Try to defeat the Dept. Store Spook as quickly as
possible. One use of PSI Rockin[beta] and a Big Bottle Rocket should be
enough to win in one round. If the boss survives, use standard attacks to
finish it off.
After the Department Store returns to normal, go back to the arms dealer
to buy a Big Bottle Rocket to replace the one you used.

Strategy
You should be able to win within three rounds using Ness and Jeff's
standard attacks. Try to take advantage of the rolling HP counter when
facing the Enraged Fire Plug. If your party takes mortal damage but you

continue using standard attacks instead of recovering with Lifeup. If
this enemy appears in a group, defeat it first.

Strategy
Equip Ness with the Night Pendant before fighting the Mani-Mani Statue.
Use a Big Bottle Rocket in the first round and PSI Rockin[beta] as much
as possible to win in two or three rounds. Cure anyone paralyzed with a
Secret Herb.
If Jeff does not have a Big Bottle Rocket, transfer all of your food and
offensive items to Jeff's inventory before the fight. Use PSI Rockin
[beta] in each round while Jeff uses any Bombs, Super Bombs, or Bottle
Rockets he's carrying. Have Jeff use food items to keep everyone alive
so that Ness can focus on attacking rather than recovering.
-Ness: PSI Rockin[beta]

(subsequent turns) "shoot"
e)Robo-Pump
Attacks
-Whisper "3..."
Effect: none

Ness and Jeff should ideally have over 100 HP before starting this fight
in case the Robo-Pump manages to throw a Bomb.
-Ness: "bash"
-Jeff: "shoot"
WALKTHROUGH
a)The Cafe
Your next destination is the Cafe in the northwest corner of Fourside (in
the Japanese version of the game, the Cafe is actually a bar).
Inside the Cafe, talk to the woman standing along the right wall of the
room. Go back outside to find a group of people crowding around Everdred
lying on the ground. Talk to the shaggy haired kid on the right end of the
line of people and answer "yes" when prompted. Give him a nonessential
item--a simple food item will suffice--and he will move out of the way for
Ness and Jeff.
Talk to Everdred and answer "no" when prompted; answering "yes" will just
cause him to tell his story again.
After he leaves, enter the Cafe and "check" the cabinet behind the
counter.
b)Moonside
Talk to the people around this place and you'll realize "no" means "yes"
and "yes" means "no." You may also notice some blonde haired men walking
around outside. If you talk to one of these characters, Ness and Jeff will
be teleported to another part of Moonside. You will need the help of these
warping men to return to Fourside.
The only thing Ness and Jeff need to do here is find a way out. First,
talk to the man standing to the right of the Monotoli Building in southern
Moonside.
Next, talk to the blond haired main walking around in front of the
Hospital in northern Moonside to warp to a gift box. Open the gift box to
find a Night Pendant and equip it on Ness.
You'll need to talk to two more blond haired men to progress. Get a Secret
Herb from one of the gift boxes on the way. Give it to Ness or whomever
doesn't already have one in his inventory in preparation for an upcoming
boss.
Your final warp will come from a man wearing glasses. Answer "no" to his
question when you talk to him.
Talk to the mysterious black silhouette in this room and answer "no" when
prompted. Next, talk to the other man to escape from the room.
Rest at the Hotel if Ness and Jeff are not at max HP/PP. Leave the Hotel
and talk to the person standing next to the Monotoli Building again. This
time, the man will move out of the way and let Ness and Jeff pass.
Walk to the entrance of the Monotoli Building and "check" the statue to
enter a boss battle against the Mani-Mani Statue. Use PSI Rockin[beta] and
a Big Bottle Rocket in the first round to take away most of the Statue's
HP. You should be able to win in about two more rounds with PSI Rockin and
"shoot."
If you don't have a Big Bottle Rocket, transfer all of your food items
into Jeff's inventory before the fight. Keep using PSI Rockin[beta] while
Jeff uses any Bombs, Super Bombs, or Bottle Rockets. Have Jeff use any
food item in his inventory to keep Ness alive so that Ness can focus on
attacking instead of recovering.
After getting out of Moonside, leave the Cafe and go to the Fourside Dept.
Store to buy a Big Bottle Rocket to replace the one you used. Go to Dusty
Dunes Desert and enter the Monkey cave located north of the Drugstore.

6.The Monkey Cave
Recommended Level: 33
ITEMS
a)Pencil Eraser
Use: eliminates any pencil shaped statues
You will need the Pencil Eraser to get through the Monkey Cave. If Paula
had the Pencil Eraser when she was kidnapped, call Escargo Express and
they will deliver it to the party (thanks to: G. Pilon).
b)Flame Pendant
Use: armor; equip on "body" for Ness, Paula, or Jeff; reduces damage
inflicted by Fire or equivalent attacks by 96%
Obtained: basket, in the Monkey Cave
Equip the Flame Pendant on Paula when she rejoins the party. This item
will come in handy against Fire using enemies that appear later.
c)Neutralizer
Use: resets any stats changes and removes any shields from all enemies and
allies
Obtained: gift box in the Monkey Cave in the Dusty Dunes Desert
The Neutralizer will remove all shields protecting both enemies and party
members. Some enemies later in the game are protected by reflecting
shields, making the Neutralizer helpful.
d)Broken Tube
Use: can be repaired by Jeff into the Hungry HP-Sucker
Obtained: basket, in the Monkey Cave
IQ Required: 36
The Hungry HP-Sucker drains 10~20% of all enemies' max HP and gives it to
Jeff. The success rate is good enough for the Hungry HP-Sucker to be
useful against groups of enemies when Jeff needs to recover, but it almost
never works against bosses (although it can be pretty damaging when it
does).

ENEMIES
The enemies in the Monkey Cave should give you no problems.
WALKTHROUGH
a)Introduction
NOTE: It may be easier to refer to a map of the Monkey Cave rather than
read this section. A map can be found online at starmen.net.
In order to progress through the Monkey Cave, the party will need to give
various items to a number of Monkeys. You can buy or obtain most of the
items you'll need before going into the cave to make things easier, but
almost all of the necessary items can be found within the cave itself. I
will assume in the walkthrough that you will be buying a minimal amount of
items before entering the cave and that the party does not have any of the
needed items beforehand.
Some very useful items can be found in the Monkey Cave. The Neutralizer is
an item for Jeff that can eliminate all enemy shields (as well as your
own) and resets any stats changes; the Flame Pendant is armor that reduces
damage inflicted by Fire and equivalent attacks by 96%. Both items come in
handy at several points in the game. The walkthrough below will describe
how to get to the end of the Monkey Cave while getting all the items found
inside.
b)The Trading Game
Before entering the cave, buy a Picnic Lunch and a Skip Sandwich from the
Dusty Dunes Drugstore if the party does not have them. Bring the Pencil
Eraser with you also.
NOTE: If Paula had the Pencil Eraser when she was kidnapped, call Escargo
Express and they will deliver it to the party (thanks to: G. Pilon).
THE NEUTRALIZER:
A. Enter the cave and walk west until you see two monkeys. Give the monkey
on the left a Picnic Lunch. Enter the doorway and obtain the Pizza in
the next room.
B. Walk west until you see two more monkeys. Give the monkey on the left a
Pizza and get the Pizza in the next room.
C. Walk west and receive the Fresh Egg from the monkey.
NOTE: The Fresh Egg will turn into a Chick in about 1 minute, so you must
hurry the next part. If you do not give the Fresh Egg away in time,
the same monkey will give you another one.
D. Go back four rooms and give the monkey on the right a Skip Sandwich.
Obtain the Wet Towel in the basket.
E. Walk west and give the monkey on the left a Pizza. Obtain the Protein
Drink in the next room.
F. Return to the previous room and give the monkey on the right a Protein
Drink. Obtain the Hamburger in the basket.
G. Walk west and give the monkey on the right a Fresh Egg. The Neutralizer
is in the next room.
THE FLAME PENDANT AND THE BROKEN TUBE:
H. Go back five rooms and enter the doorway on the left (the one opened by
giving the monkey a Picnic Lunch at the beginning).
I. Keep going forward until you see two monkeys. Give the monkey on the
right a Wet Towel and get the Ruler and the Hamburger in the next room.
J. Walk west and give both monkeys a Hamburger. Enter each doorway to find
the Flame Pendant and the Broken Tube. For now, equip the Flame Pendant
on Jeff, but equip it on Paula when she rejoins the party.
THE BAG OF DRAGONITE and THE END OF THE CAVE:
K. Go back five rooms and enter the doorway on the right (the one opened
by giving the monkey a Skip Sandwich).
L. Walk west until you see two doorways and enter the one on the right.
M. Walk west until you see two more monkeys and give the one on the left a
Ruler. Enter the doorway and receive the King Banana from the monkey.
N. Go back three rooms and enter the doorway on the left.
O. Walk west and give the monkey on the right the King Banana.
Keep moving forward to reach the end of the cave. If you want the Bag of
Dragonite, obtain the Hamburger in the next room, go back one room and
give the Hamburger to the monkey on the left.
Talk to Talah Rama, the man floating in the air, and receive the Yogurt
Dispenser.
Next, talk to the monkey walking around in the room to have Ness learn
Teleport[alpha].
d)Don't Teleport to Winters
With Teleport[alpha], you can go to Winters to buy some of the equipment
from the Drugstore there. You shouldn't do this, however, because better
equipment will become available soon, and you'll need to save as much
money as possible to buy the best gear in the next town.

-Stumble, but fire a strange beam
Effect: solidify a single target

Don't use Big Bottle Rockets against this enemy because it rarely (if
ever) inflicts any damage.

WALKTHROUGH
a)The 48th Floor
Return to Fourside after receiving the Yogurt Dispenser from Talah Rama
in the Monkey Cave. Go to the Monotoli Building in northern Fourside and
talk to the maid standing outside. Enter the building, take the elevator
to the 47th floor, and enter the other elevator to go to the 48th floor.
The 48th floor is guarded by Sentry Robots patrolling different areas.
There is no "secret code" you can tell the Sentries to let Ness and Jeff
pass, and you will have to fight them if they approach. You should be able
to defeat this enemy within three rounds using standard attacks. Use PSI
Rockin[beta] if you are overwhelmed by multiple Sentry Robots, and recover
with Lifeup if Ness or Jeff's HP falls below 120.
Once off the elevator, walk west through the door and fight the two Sentry
Robots in the hallway. Enter the leftmost door at the end of the hall. You
can avoid the Sentry Robot in the next room if you walk between the desk
and the wall in the upper left corner of the room. Enter the door to the
north.
The door to the north of the next room leads to a gift box containing a
Sudden Guts Pill guarded by a Sentry Robot. If you don't have at least one
of these, it may be a good idea to obtain it here. If you don't want to
fight the Sentry Robot, you can wait until after talking to Mr. Monotoli
and all the Sentry Robots are gone.
Enter the other door to the west to proceed. The Sentry Robot in the next
room can be avoided by quickly entering the right-hand door to the north.
The left door leads to a Vital Capsule, which should be saved for Paula
when she rejoins the party. Again, you can wait until after talking to
Monotoli to get this item.
The right-hand door will lead to another room with a door to the north and
a door to the west. To the north is the maid's room, but all she will give
the party is Trout Yogurt, a food item that recovers a paltry 30 HP.
b)Clumsy Robot
Before proceeding, be at near max HP and give your best food items to
Jeff. Enter the door to the west to encounter the Clumsy Robot.
The Clumsy Robot's only attack can inflict mortal damage to either Ness or
Jeff in one hit, but like the Mondo Mole this powerful enemy can be
rendered helpless with Paralysis[alpha]. Paralysis isn't guaranteed to
work, but you should eventually be successful if you keep using it in each
round. Recover when someone's HP drops to 120 or lower.
c)Monotoli
Enter the door to the left after the battle is over and talk to Monotoli.
When Paula rejoins the party, give her your best defensive items and the
Franklin Badge. Paula should be equipped with the Flame Pendant, a
Platinum Band, and the Mr. Saturn Coin; Jeff with a Great Charm, a Gold
Bracelet, and a Coin of Defense; and Ness with a Night Pendant, a Silver
Bracelet, and a Coin of Slumber. If you don't have the Mr. Saturn Coin,
teleport to Saturn Valley and talk to one of the Mr. Saturns in the cave
north of the hotel. The Gold Bracelet and the Coin of Defense can be
bought at the Department Store, but you should save your money until you
get to the next town.
Enter the door to the west and walk to the end of the hallway. Approach
the helicopter, watch the short scene, and return to the entrance of the
Monotoli Building.
d)Flying to Winters
Return to the cell where Ness and Paula were held earlier in Threed to
find the Sky Runner fixed. "Check" the Sky Runner to go to Dr. Andonuts's
Lab.
Do not teleport to anywhere else from Winters until you get to the next
town. Otherwise, when you teleport back to Winters the party will be
taken to Snow Wood Boarding House, and you'll have to walk all the way
south to Dr. Andonuts's Lab while facing much stronger enemies than the
first time Jeff traveled through Winters.

-Lifeup[alpha]
-Scatter some spores
Effect: mushroomize a target
-Scatter some spores
Effect: poison a target
-Disrupt your senses
Effect: a target becomes unable to use PSI for four rounds
Comments: The success rate of this attack is low and hardly poses a
threat.
Strategy
Like most boss battles, the best strategy here is to be aggressive and
defeat the enemy quickly. This is especially true against Shrooom!
because it will mushroomize most of your party if the battle lasts too
long.
Assuming nobody is mushroomized, use up all Big Bottle Rockets and
attack with PSI Rockin[beta] and Fire[beta] as much as possible. Keep
everyone's HP above 120.
If Jeff does not have any Big Bottle Rockets, do not teleport to
Fourside to buy any. Before you start the fight, give some of your food
to Jeff. Use PSI Rockin[beta] and Fire[beta] as much as possible while
Jeff uses food items to keep everyone alive. If anyone gets poisoned,
ignore it and just recover HP as needed.
If Ness becomes mushroomized, have him only use Lifeup or Healing[beta].
If Jeff doesn't have any Big Bottle Rockets, however, you may want Ness
to "bash" even if he is mushroomized. If Paula is mushroomized, have her
"defend" or use stat affecting moves such as Offense Up[alpha]. Use
Freeze[beta] if you think you can recover a mortally wounded person in
time. If Jeff becomes mushroomized, have him use food items only.
-Ness: PSI Rockin[beta]
"bash," if mushroomized
"defend," if mushroomized
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 90 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[alpha] if HP falls to 120 or lower
-Paula: Fire[beta]
"defend," if mushroomized
Offense Up[alpha], if mushroomized
Freeze[beta], if mushroomized
-Jeff: (first few turns) Big Bottle Rocket
food items
"defend," if mushroomized
f)Strong Crocodile
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 80~110 HP (Ness)
60~70 HP (Paula)
70~85 HP (Jeff)
-Swing its tail very hard
Damage: 170~200 HP (Ness)
110~170 HP (Paula)
125~180 HP (Jeff)
-Biting attack
Damage: 160~200 HP (Ness)
110~160 HP (Paula)
150~190 HP (Jeff)
-Edge closer
Effect: none
Strategy
Use Freeze[beta] in the first round and standard attacks thereafter to
defeat the Strong Crocodile within two rounds.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] or [beta] if HP falls below max
recover Jeff with Lifeup[alpha] or [beta] if HP falls to 150 or
lower
-Paula: Freeze[beta]
-Jeff: "shoot"
WALKTHROUGH
a)Fourth Sanctuary Location
Upon reaching Winters, "check" the Instant Revitalizing Device if the
party's HP and PP are not at max (the Device is the machine that resembles
a furnace).
Go to the Shining Spot Jeff passed by on his first trip through Winters.
There are new, more powerful enemies around Stonehenge and inside the cave,
but the way to the Shining Spot is short, and you shouldn't have to deal
with too many enemies. The Cave Boys are still around, but they hardly pose
a threat anymore. The Mighty Bear Sevens, on the other hand, have high
Offense and should be defeated quickly with Freeze[beta].
b)Sanctuary Boss
Like most boss battles, the best strategy here is to be aggressive and
defeat the enemy quickly. This is particularly true against Shrooom!
because it will mushroomize most of your party if the battle lasts too
long.
Assuming nobody is mushroomized, use up all Big Bottle Rockets and attack
with PSI Rockin[beta] and Fire[beta] as much as possible. Keep everyone's
HP above 120.
If Jeff does not have any Big Bottle Rockets, do not teleport to Fourside
to buy any. Before you start the fight, give Jeff some of your food. Use
PSI Rockin[beta] and Fire[beta] as much as possible while Jeff uses food
items to keep everyone alive. If anyone gets poisoned, ignore it and just
recover HP as necessary.
If Ness becomes mushroomized, have him "defend" in each round and only use
Lifeup or Healing[beta]. If Jeff doesn't have any Big Bottle Rockets,
however, you may want Ness to "bash" even if he is mushroomized. If Paula
is mushroomized, have her "defend" or use stat affecting moves such as
Offense Up[alpha]. Use Freeze[beta] if you think you can recover a mortally
wounded person in time. If Jeff becomes mushroomized, have him use food
items.
After defeating Shrooom!, record the Fourth Sanctuary melody, return to
the lab, and ride the Sky Runner.
_______________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________
9.Winters's New Enemies
This section is for those who teleported away from Winters after taking the
Sky Runner there and before recording the fourth sanctuary melody. If you
saved after doing this or saved too long ago, you will have to walk from Snow
Wood Boarding House all the way south to Dr. Andonuts's Lab while facing some
new enemies.
Before making your way south, buy one or two Secret Herbs at Saturn Valley if
you don't have any and bring the Pencil Eraser with you.
The enemies you'll face are the Lesser Mook, the Wooly Shambler, and the
Whirling Robo. These enemies are not too tough, but you should make liberal
use of Paula's PSI moves against them while saving Ness's PP for Lifeup. The
party can rest in one of the tents in northern Winters, but Brick Road is no
longer in southern Winters and you won't be able to recover until you get to
Dr. Andonuts's Lab after crossing the lake.
If you face a Lesser Mook, use PSI Shield[sigma] in the first round to defend
against the Mook's Freeze. This enemy can also diamondize a party member, but
there is nothing you can do about that other than to bring Secret Herbs with
you and to defeat this enemy first. The Lesser Mook is resistant to Freeze
but vulnerable to Fire, and the enemies here tend to line up in a single row.
The Wooly Shambler and the Whirling Robo are not as dangerous as the Lesser
Mook. Freeze works well against the Wooly Shambler, or you can use PSI Shield
[sigma] to defend against its Flash. If you're low on PP, use PSI Magnet
against these enemies after any Lesser Mooks are defeated.

WALKTHROUGH
a)Shopping in Summers and Winters
Buy some new equipment upon reaching Summers. The store is more or less
directly north of the party's starting point.
Merchandise here is expensive, and you may not be able to afford the best
equipment. If that's the case, you can buy some slightly inferior
equipment at a much lower cost in Winters (the Winters Drugstore actually
sells a better weapon for Paula).
As usual, give priority to maximizing Paula's Defense. To help you decide
what to buy, here is a table comparing some of the equipment available to
you (old equipment is shown as well):

|__________________|_______________|________|____________|
The Big League Bat and Platinum Band are sold in the next town (Scaraba)
for $1380 and $3899 respectively. You can get to Scaraba pretty soon, but
it will be after the fourth party member joins Ness and you will have to
fight a boss on the way there. If you don't mind leveling up the fourth
party member in preparation for the boss fight (or just getting him
knocked out), save the Big League Bat and the Platinum Band for later.
At the very least, buy the Diamond Band and the Lucky Coin for Paula and
equip the Mr. Saturn Coin on whomever you couldn't buy a Lucky Coin for.
It will cost about $50,000 to buy the best equipment available.
b)Magic Cake
Head for Toto, the town east of Summers. There is a Store here as well,
but it does not sell anything very useful. Enter the fourth door from the
start of Toto and talk to the man inside to learn the phone number of
Stoic Club, a place in Summers.
After exiting the building, the party will get a call from Tony, Jeff's
roommate back in Snow Wood. He will ask you to enter your name (the
player's name, not Ness or a party member). Your name will appear a couple
of times at the end of the game, but you can just give a joke name like
"poop" or something; it's up to you.
Next, go to a phone and call the Stoic Club (the nearest phone is in the
Toto Shop).
Enter the club in Summers and talk to the mustached man standing next to
the table on the left side of the room.
Talk to the woman wearing the pink dress near the entrance and answer
"yes" when prompted.
Once the woman leaves the building, exit and walk to the cart located
southwest of the club. Talk to her to eat some Magic Cake.

WALKTHROUGH
a)Mu
Open the chests in the Palace to obtain a Brain Food Lunch and a Cup of
Lifenoodles. The Brain Stone is also found here, but I don't find the item
to be that useful; give it to Escargo Express if you get it, or put it in
Paula's inventory when Poo joins the party.
Exit the Palace and enter some of the houses to find more food items. Make
your way to southeast Dalaam and talk to the man waiting for Poo.
Climb the rope to the top and begin meditating. Don't touch the
directional pad while sitting. Poo will stop his training if you do, and
you will have to talk to the old man back in the Palace and start all over
again.
If Poo continues to meditate, a spirit will eventually appear and test
Poo. Answer "yes" to all of its questions to complete the trial. If you
answer "no" to any of them, you will have to talk to the old man back in
the Palace and start again.
With the training complete, return to the Palace and talk to the old man.
Poo will gain a few levels and teleport to Summers to join Ness.

150~160 HP (Paula)
160~170 HP (Jeff)
230~240 HP (Poo)

-Has a big grin on its face
Effect: none
Strategy
Before starting the battle, make sure that each party member has at
least 150 HP. Keeping everyone's HP above 150 should give you enough
time to recover a mortally wounded character before the HP counter
reaches 0.
Have Paula and Poo use their highest level Freeze attack and Jeff use
up any Big Bottle Rockets he may have. Follow this approach and the
Plague Rat of Doom should be defeated quickly.

recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls below max
WALKTHROUGH
a)The Fourth Party Member
There are a few things you should know about Poo before taking him into
battle. First, most food items are ineffective for him and only recover
about 6 of his HP. Only medicinal items, such as the Cup of Lifenoodles,
and PP recovery items work normally, and a few food items are better for
Poo than for the other party members. These items are:
Brain Food Lunch: recovers 600 HP and 100 PP
Bottle of Water: recovers 10 PP
Bottle of DXwater: recovers 40 PP
Second, Poo should not equip the same weapons and armor the other party
members use; those items will actually decrease Poo's stats. All of Poo's
equipment is either found in gift boxes or dropped by enemies. These items
are:
Weapon: Sword of Kings (dropped by a later enemy; can be hard to get)
Body: Cloak of Kings (gift box; found before Eighth Sanctuary Cave)
Arms: Bracer of Kings (gift box; found in Sixth Sanctuary Cave)
Other: Diadem of Kings (gift box; found in Seventh Sanctuary Cave)
b)Sailing to Scaraba
You can go record the fifth and sixth sanctuary melodies once Poo joins
the party. Alternatively, you can talk to the sailor in Toto and set sail
for Scaraba, the next town, and record the melodies at a later time. You
should go to Scaraba first if you could not afford the Big League Bat and
Platinum Band in Summers. If you don't spend some time leveling up Poo he
likely won't survive the trip, but you can always revive him at a
Hospital.
If you decide to go to Scaraba, teleport to Fourside first and buy a
couple of Big Bottle Rockets from the Department Store if Jeff does not
have any.
Be at max HP/PP. Talk to one of the sailors in Toto east of Summers to set
sail.
On the way, the ship will be attacked by the Kraken. Use your most
powerful attacks on the sea monster to end the battle as quickly as
possible. You may want Poo to simply use Lifeup on himself to help him
survive a mortal blow.
See the section "5.Sailing to Scaraba" for more details on the Kraken.
c)Fifth Sanctuary Melody
Go to the Museum in Summers and pay the $12 admission fee.
Walk up to the second floor and talk to the man standing in front of the
door. There are two enemies in the next room that have high Offense, so
be near max HP before entering. They can be easily defeated with Freeze or
Paralysis.
"Check" the sign in front of the Hieroglyphs and attempt to leave the
room. The man will stop the party and give them the Hieroglyph Copy,
an item that repeats everything written on the Hieroglyphs when "used."
Keep it for future reference.
As the party attempts to leave the museum, the phone on the reception
desk will start ringing. Answer the phone and listen to Mr. Spoon from the
Fourside Museum talk about his "extraordinary," "fantastic," and
"outrageous" find. Teleport to Fourside.
Enter the Museum, pay the $20 admission fee, and talk to the man standing
in front of the door on the left side of the Museum. He explains that he
will show his "extraordinary" thing in exchange for the autograph of the
singer Venus.
Go to Topolla Theater, buy a Show Ticket, and enter the music hall to see
Venus's performance (it's about 2 and a half minutes long).
Once the performance ends, enter the dressing room on the other side of
the music hall and talk to Venus to receive the Signed Banana.
d)Fifth Sanctuary Sewer Enemies
Before going to the Museum, buy a couple of Big Bottle Rockets from the
Department Store if Jeff doesn't have any. Return to Mr. Spoon in the
Museum and "use" the Signed Banana to gain access to the sewers underneath
Fourside.
If you don't want to spend time leveling up Poo, you'll have to be very
aggressive with your attacks to prevent Poo from being KO'd. Use Freeze
[gamma] against the Deadly Mouse, Freeze[beta] against the Filthy Attack
Roach, and Paralysis[alpha] against the Stinky Ghost to quickly defeat or
incapacitate the enemies here. None of the enemies have PP you can drain
with PSI Magnet, but there is a Magic Butterfly room in the second section
of the sewer. Try to save Ness and Poo's PP for Lifeup and Healing.
e)Through the Sewers
To the right of the entrance is a Broken Iron. Take it if Jeff doesn't
have the Slime Generator.
Go left from the entrance, down the ladder into the water, and all the way
east into the next part of the sewers.
There is a Magic Butterfly room near the middle of the second section. If
the party is running low on PP, get out of the water at the east end of
this area, walk west, and enter the door. Repeatedly reenter this room as
much as you need to recover HP/PP.
There is also a trash can located west of the butterfly room containing a
Rust Promoter DX; it can be useful against the many metallic enemies that
appear later.
Walk east and enter the third and final part of the sewer. Before heading
toward the Shining Spot, get out of the water and enter the door just
ahead. Inside is a Broken Bazooka, an item Jeff can repair into the very
useful Heavy Bazooka (45 IQ required). You can come back and get this item
after recording the sanctuary melody if you don't want to face any
enemies.
f)Sanctuary Boss
Leave the room, enter the water, and walk to the east edge of the sewer.
Get out of the water and approach the Shining Spot. Make sure everyone has
at least 150 HP before starting the fight.
Like all mouse enemies in this game, the Plague Rat of Doom has a high
rate of SMAAAASH!! hits. Keeping everyone's HP above 150 should give you
enough time to recover a mortally wounded character before the HP counter
reaches 0. Have Paula and Poo use their highest level Freeze attack and
Jeff use up any Big Bottle Rockets he may have. You should hopefully be
able to defeat this enemy in just a couple of rounds.
Once the Plague Rat of Doom is defeated, walk up the ladder and record
the fifth sanctuary melody. The nearby chest contains a Carrot Key, an
item needed to reach the sixth sanctuary location in Dalaam. Obtain it and
head back to the entrance of the museum (the party can't teleport near the
sanctuary spot).
Before teleporting, go to the Department Store to replenish Jeff's supply
of Big Bottle Rockets.

Strategy
Before the battle begins, make sure everyone has at least 150 HP and
Paula is carrying the Franklin Badge. Use Paula and Poo's strongest
Freeze attacks, while Jeff uses up any Big Bottle Rockets he may have.
You should hopefully be able to win this battle in about two rounds.
If Ness has learned Flash[gamma] or [omega], you can try to use those
attacks to get an instant victory. There is some chance that Flash[beta]
will also yield an instant win, though the odds are pretty low (at the
very least, Flash[beta] may cause paralysis, which is almost as good).
-Ness: PSI Rockin[beta]
Flash[beta], [gamma], or [omega], if available
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower

recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
WALKTHROUGH
a)Feeding the Rabbit Statues
NOTE: The sixth sanctuary melody does not have to be recorded now. If you
want, the party can talk to the sailor in Toto and set sail for
Scaraba instead. It may be best, however, to at least fight some of
the enemies in the cave to level up Poo and raise money to buy the
equipment sold in Summers before heading to Scaraba.
Before going to Dalaam, buy a couple of Big Bottle Rockets at Fourside
for Jeff if he does not have any.
Once in Dalaam, talk to the old man in the Palace to rest if needed and
head toward the cave in the southwest. "Use" the Carrot Key while
standing next to the rabbit statues to make them disappear.
b)Sixth Sanctuary Cave Enemies
If Poo is at a low level (level 30 or so), you may want him to "defend"
when facing the Tangoo or the Kiss of Death to protect him from their
standard attacks. Poo's standard attack isn't likely to inflict much
damage to any enemy, and he can suffer over 100 HP of damage from physical
attacks. If you want to play more offensively, Poo's Freeze[alpha] will
inflict decent damage to all enemies in the cave.
The other two enemies in the cave, the Thunder Mite and the Conducting
Menace, use only PSI attacks, and "defend" won't protect Poo from them.
Luckily, the Thunder Mite is easy to defeat and Poo can safely "bash" it.
The Conducting Menace is stronger, and Poo should always use Freeze[alpha]
to deal effective damage.
c)Sixth Sanctuary Cave
Enter the cave, climb up the first couple of ropes you see, and walk west
until you see a hole. Fall through the hole and open the gift box at the
bottom to get a Sudden Guts Pill.
Enter the leftmost hole on this level. If you enter one of the other two
holes, you will have to return to the entrance and start all over again.
After falling through the hole, open the gift box to find a Rock Candy,
an item that randomly increases its user's Speed, Guts, Vitality, IQ, or
Luck by 1. Don't use this item just yet, unless you have a Jar of
Delisauce or a Sugar Packet. Using the Rock Candy with either condiment
will boost the stat increase to 2. To apply a condiment, simply place both
the condiment and the Rocky Candy in the same person's inventory and use
the Rock Candy. Enter the hole next to the gift box to proceed.
d)Sanctuary Boss
Walk west from here to reach the Shining Spot. The sanctuary boss, Thunder
and Storm, has some pretty powerful attacks that can give you trouble. Its
"summon a storm" attack can instantly KO a few party members, and its
"intertwine" attack can inflict up to 400 HP of damage to a single target.
Before the battle begins, make sure that everyone has at least 150 HP so
you'll have enough time to recover anyone mortally wounded. Use Paula and
Poo's strongest Freeze attacks and use up any Big Bottle Rockets Jeff has.
You should hopefully be able to win this battle in two rounds.
If Ness has learned Flash[gamma] or [omega], you can try to use those
attacks to get an instant victory against Thunder and Storm. Flash[beta]
may defeat this boss as well, though it has a lower chance of getting an
instant KO.
After defeating Thunder and Storm, record the Sixth Sanctuary Melody,
walk back into the cave, and fall through the hole to the right.
Open the gift box at the bottom to find the Bracer of Kings and equip this
on Poo's arms (Poo should keep the bracer on his arms for the rest of the
game).
Continue moving forward to reach the entrance. Rest at the Palace if you
need to and teleport to Summers (or Scaraba).
NOTE: (G. Pilon sent the following tip) An easy way to level up is to exit
and reenter the Sixth Sanctuary Cave and defeat the lone enemy that
appears in front of the entrance. The enemy will try to run away if
you have already defeated the Sanctuary Boss, allowing you to easily
approach it from behind and get an instant victory to gain 2700 or
3600 exp. points.

a)Kraken
Recommended Level: 42
Attacks
-Generate a tornado
Damage: 130~190 HP (Ness)
170~210 HP (Paula)
170~210 HP (Jeff)

Damage: 150~250 HP, to everyone
-Crashing boom bang attack
Effect: equivalent to Thunder[beta]
-Flash[beta]
-Emit a pale green light
Effect: resets any stats changes and removes all shields
Strategy
Try to defeat the Kraken in one round (it has about 1000 HP). Use Paula
and Poo's strongest Freeze attacks and any Big Bottle Rockets in Jeff's
inventory. If Poo is at a low level, have him use Lifeup on himself to
keep him alive.
The Kraken's fire and tornado attacks inflict heavy damage to the entire
party, making recovery difficult. Instead of trying to keep everyone's
HP up, use the rolling HP counter by concentrating on ending the battle
as quickly as possible. The battle should last two rounds at most. There
is a chance that Paula and Poo's Freeze will solidify the Kraken, making
the battle much easier.
-Ness: "bash"
PSI Rockin[beta]
PSI Rockin[gamma], if learned
-Paula: Freeze[gamma]
-Jeff: (first turn) Big Bottle Rocket
(second turn) "shoot" or Big Bottle Rocket
-Poo: Lifeup[beta] on self, if at a low level
Freeze[gamma]
WALKTHROUGH
a)Sailing to Scaraba
Once Poo has joined the party, you can talk to a sailor in Toto and set
sail for Scaraba. Be at max HP/PP and carry two Big Bottle Rockets in
Jeff's inventory before setting sail. If you've recorded the Sixth and
Seventh Sanctuary Melodies, go to the Store in Summers and buy whatever
equipment you could not afford before (except for the Big League Bat and
the Platinum Band).
Go to Toto and talk to the sailor wearing the blue and white striped
shirt. One of them (the one on the right) is the husband of the Magic
Cake vendor and will offer passage to Scaraba for $20/person. Answer "yes"
when prompted when you are ready.
During the voyage, the ship will be attacked by the Kraken. Try to end
this battle as quickly as possible. The Kraken's attacks can inflict
heavy damage to the entire party, making recovery difficult. Instead of
trying to keep everyone's HP up, concentrate on attacking. Use Ness's
strongest PSI Rockin attack, Paula and Poo's strongest Freeze attack, and
any Big Bottle Rockets in Jeff's inventory (Poo should use Lifeup on
himself if he's just joined the party). You should be able to defeat the
Kraken within two rounds.
After defeating the Kraken, the boat will continue to sail to Scaraba
without further incident.

ITEMS
a)Rain Pendant
Use: armor; equip on "body" for Ness, Paula, or Jeff; reduces damage
inflicted by Freeze by about 96%
Obtained: casket in Pyramid, in the room behind the Guardian General
Fewer enemies use Freeze than Fire or Flash, so the Rain Pendant is not as
useful as the Night or Flame Pendant. Equip this on Jeff.
b)Snake Bag
Use: inflicts 1~4 HP of damage and has a roughly 50% chance of poisoning
its target; can be used an infinite number of times; the target of
this item is randomly determined
Obtained: merchant in Scaraba marketplace
The merchant who sells the Snake Bag will reduce the price from $290 to
$98 when you buy it. I sometimes have Jeff or Poo use this item when they
have nothing else to do.

-Sting with its poisonous stinger
Effect: poison a single target
Strategy
Two or three hits from any party member's standard attack should defeat
the Dread Skelpion. You can also use Freeze[alpha] to take away most of
its HP. If this enemy appears with a Great Crested Booka, defeat the
Dread Skelpion first. Heal any poisoned party members after the battle
is over.
-Ness: "bash"

using standard attacks. If this enemy appears with a Dread Skelpion,
defeat the Dread Skelpion first.

recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[alpha] or [beta] if HP falls to 100 or
lower

Vulnerable: Fire, Brainshock
Attacks
-Fire a beam
Damage: 40~55 HP (Ness)
40~70 HP (Paula)
40~70 HP (Jeff)
70~100 HP (Poo)
-PSI Shield[alpha]
-Disrupt your senses
Effect: render a single target unable to use PSI for four rounds
Comments: This attack has a pretty low success rate and is nothing to
worry about.
Strategy
The High-Class UFO always has a Shield up from the beginning of the
battle, but using standard attacks should be enough to defeat this
enemy. If you want to get rid of its Shield, use the Neutralizer or the
Shield Killer.
If this enemy appears with a Beautiful UFO, defeat the Beautiful UFO
first; the Beautiful UFO's offense is comparable to that of the High-
Class UFO, but the Beautiful UFO is easier to defeat.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower

recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
e)Master Criminal Worm
Always chase after this enemy if you see it. A victory against the Master
Criminal Worm will yield enough experience points to almost always level
up someone. This enemy looks like a small red worm outside of battle.
The Master Criminal Worm appears rarely and always runs away from the
party, allowing you to easily approach it from behind and get an instant
victory. It is rare to actually have to fight this enemy in battle, but if
you do use PSI Shield[sigma] in the first round to protect from Fire. This
enemy has very high Speed and will likely attack first each round.
ENEMIES (Inside the Pyramid)
a)Arachnid!!!
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze, Paralysis, Brainshock
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 20~40 HP (Ness)
30~50 HP (Paula)
30~50 HP (Jeff)
60~80 HP (Poo)
-Sting with its poisonous stinger
Effect: poison a single target
-Shoot spider silk out of its body
Effect: solidify a single target
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Arachnid!!! within one round by just
using standard attacks. Defeat this enemy last if it appears in a group.
Heal any poisoned party members after the battle is over.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 70 or lower
-Paula: "bash"
-Jeff: "shoot"
Heavy Bazooka
-Poo: "bash"
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 70 or lower
b)Fierce Shattered Man
Vulnerable: Paralysis
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 40~80 HP (Ness)
60~90 HP (Paula)
60~90 HP (Jeff)
90~110 HP (Poo)
-Start a continuous attack
Damage: 40~70 HP (Ness)
50~80 HP (Paula)
50~80 HP (Jeff)
70~110 HP (Poo)
Comments: The Fierce Shattered Man will attack twice when it uses this
move. The above damage estimates are for one attack only.
-Give you a great big hug
Effect: solidify a single target
-Reach out with its icy hand
Effect: solidify a single target
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Fierce Shattered Man in one or two
rounds using standard attacks. Use Freeze or Paralysis if you are having
trouble. The Slime Generator seems to work well against this enemy as
well.
Defeat the Fierce Shattered Man only after defeating any Guardian
Hieroglyphs and before any Petrified Royal Guards.
-Ness: "bash"
Paralysis[alpha]
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower

recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
c)Guardian Hieroglyph
Vulnerable: Fire, Hypnosis
Attacks
-Thunder[alpha]
-Thunder[beta]
-Flash[alpha]
-Let loose with a hacking cough
Effect: give a single target a cold
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Guardian Hieroglyph in one or two
rounds by using standard attacks. It is probably not worth using PSI
Shield to defend against this enemy's PSI attacks. Just defeat the
Guardian Hieroglyph first in any battle. Heal any colds after the battle
is over.
The Guardian Hieroglyph is the only normal enemy in the Pyramid that has
PP. Use PSI Magnet against it if you need to recover.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
-Paula: "bash"
Freeze[alpha], if crying
PSI Magnet, if low on PP
-Jeff: "shoot"
Heavy Bazooka
-Poo: PSI Magnet
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower

-Charge forward
Damage: 150~220 HP (Ness)

160~220 HP (Jeff)
180~240 HP (Poo)
-Make something spin around
Damage: 4~11 PP
-Shriek a wary cry
Effect: reduce a single target's Offense and Defense by about 6%
Strategy
Use the Slime Generator in each round to make the Guardian General waste
most of its turns, while Ness and Paula attack with "bash" and Freeze.
Poo should either recover PP with PSI Magnet or try to poison the
Guardian General with the Snake Bag if he has it. You should be able to
win in about three rounds.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower

40~70 HP (Paula)
40~70 HP (Jeff)
70~100 HP (Poo)
-Use a biting attack
Damage: 125~150 HP (Ness)
130~180 HP (Paula)
130~180 HP (Jeff)
160~200 HP (Poo)
Comments: The description of this attack in the battle dialogue window
is identical to that of this enemy's weaker biting attack.
-Coil around you and attack
Effect: solidify a single target
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Lethal Asp Hieroglyph in one or two
rounds using standard attacks. Use Freeze against this enemy if you are
having trouble. If this enemy appears with a Petrified Royal Guard,
paralyze the Royal Guard and defeat the Asp first.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower

160~220 HP (Jeff)

-Shriek a war cry
Effect: reduces a single target's Offense and Defense by 6%
Strategy
Use Paralysis[alpha] in the first round or Jeff's Slime Generator in
each round to immobilize the Petrified Royal Guard. If this enemy
appears in a group, use Paralysis[alpha] on it and defeat all other
enemies first.
-Ness: (first turn) Paralysis[alpha]
(subsequent turns) "bash"
-Paula: "bash"
-Jeff: "shoot"
Heavy Bazooka
Slime Generator, if enemy is not paralyzed
Hungry HP-Sucker, if enemy is paralyzed
-Poo: "bash"
Snake Bag, to poison the enemy
WALKTHROUGH
a)Backtracking to Summers
Teleport to Summers and buy any Diamond Bands or Lucky Coins you could not
afford to get the first time you reached Summers if you have the money.
The Big League Bat and the Platinum Band can be bought at a cheaper price
in Scaraba if you want them.
b)Shopping in Scaraba
The main point of interest in Scaraba is the marketplace located in the
southeast part of town.
The first place you might want to visit is the tool vendor located at the
southwest corner of the market. If you did not buy any Platinum Bands or
a Big League Bat in Summers, you can buy them here at a cheaper price.
The Broken Cannon can be repaired by Jeff into the Spectrum Beam (32 IQ
required), a weapon for Jeff, but don't buy it if Jeff has the Heavy
Bazooka. An item better than the Crystal Charm can be found soon, but you
can buy it if you have the money.
Another item for sale is the Piggy Nose. This item can be used in a place
called Deep Darkness, a swamp that the party will travel through after
clearing Scaraba. Magic Truffles, an item that recovers about 80 PP, are
hidden throughout Deep Darkness, and the Piggy Nose is almost essential if
you want to find any.
There are a couple of merchants that sell serpents that can poison
enemies. Standard Snakes aren't too useful, but the Viper has a 100%
chance of poisoning most enemies. One vendor will also sell a Snake Bag,
an item that allows you to use Snakes an infinite number of times, for $98
(the merchant initially offers it for $290 but will reduce the price to
$98 when you actually buy it). The Snake Bag isn't a great item, but I
sometimes give it to Poo and have him use it instead of "bash."
b)Going Through the Pyramid
Your destination is the Pyramid to the southeast of Scaraba. The Pyramid
is a pretty long dungeon with lots of enemies, and you may want to bring
an Exit Mouse with you just in case; an Exit Mouse can still be obtained
south of Onett or in the Gold Mine in Dusty Dunes Desert. Take the Slime
Generator along as well, since it can be effective against the strongest
enemies in the Pyramid.
NOTE: Poo will leave the party for awhile when you pass the Pyramid. Don't
forget to give any important items in his inventory to somebody
else.
Leave Scaraba through its south gate and walk southeast. If the screen
starts flashing red, check for sunstroke and use Healing[alpha] on the
affected person. The enemies on the way shouldn't be too hard.
When you reach the front of the Pyramid, stand on the top circle. To open
the Pyramid, the circular switches have to be pressed in a particular
order.
. The top . denotes the top circle, and is the switch
the party must step on first and last. The numbers
4 3 represent the other switches and denote the order in
which they must be pressed.
2 5
NOTE: If a dialogue window saying "....." pops up
when stepping on a switch, you must return to
Summers, go to the second floor of the Museum,
and examine the Hieroglyph piece.
If you step on a wrong switch, you must start the process over from the
beginning. Enter the Pyramid when the entrance is opened.
You will likely notice a Hieroglyph figure on the wall in the first room.
This particular figure will not come to life, but almost all figures
deeper inside the Pyramid are enemies and will attack. Use Freeze if these
hieroglyphs appear in a group, and use PSI Magnet against the human-like
hieroglyph to recover some PP.
The strongest enemies here are the Fierce Shattered Man and the Petrified
Royal Guard. The Petrified Royal Guard can be immobilized with Paralysis
[alpha] or repeated use of the Slime Generator. The Fierce Shattered Man
can also be immobilized with Paralysis[alpha], but this enemy is not as
strong and can be dealt with by just using standard attacks or Freeze.
Keep moving forward into the Pyramid until the party enters a room with
a sarcophagus in the center. The top door on the left leads to a Bag of
Dragonite, a nice but mostly unnecessary item. The item is two rooms away
and likely guarded by some enemies. Enter the door on the right to
proceed.
You will find a Speed Capsule and a Cup of Lifenoodles a bit further into
the Pyramid. Use the Speed Capsule right away on someone (I usually give
it to Paula or Poo).
Enter the door on the right and walk down the long flight of stairs.
"Check" the casket at the bottom of the stairs to start the battle with
the Guardian General.
The most effective weapon against the Guardian General seems to be the
Slime Generator; have Jeff use it in each round and the Guardian General
will likely waste most of its turns doing nothing. If Paula has a
sufficient amount of PP, have her use Freeze[gamma] or [omega] while Ness
uses "bash." Poo should use PSI Magnet to recover PP or use the Snake Bag
to poison the Guardian General.
Once the Guardian General is defeated, enter the next room and step on the
tile with the thick outline. Open the casket in this room to find the Rain
Pendant. Equip this on Jeff.
After stepping on the switch, return to the room with the sarcophagus in
the center. The sarcophagus will have disappeared to reveal a hole. Fall
through the hole to land near an altar with the Hawk Eye sitting on top.
Approach the altar and "check" the Hawk Eye to take it.
Go through the door on the right, walk up the stairs, and enter the next
room. The casket here contains a Diamond Band. Equip this item on whomever
it may benefit. Fall through the hole to proceed.
This is the last stretch of the Pyramid before the exit. Enter the door
on the right and walk through the hallway. Walk up the stairs and enter
door to leave the Pyramid.
The party will now be in Southern Scaraba. Attempt to walk forward out
into the desert and the old man from Dalaam will appear. He will restore
everyone's HP/PP and tell Poo to come with him. Poo will comply and leave.
NOTE: If Poo was carrying the Hawk Eye when he left, you should get a
phone call from Escargo Express telling you that they have it. Call
Escargo Express and request a delivery to get the Hawk Eye back.

Attacks
-Fire a beam
Damage: 20~40 HP (Ness)
30~50 HP (Paula)
20~40 HP (Jeff)
-Lifeup[alpha]
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Beautiful UFO in one round by using
standard attacks. If this enemy appears with a High Class UFO, defeat
the Beautiful UFO first; the two enemies have about the same Offense,
but the Beautiful UFO is easier to defeat.
-Ness: "bash"

-Disrupt your sense
Effect: render a single target unable to use PSI for four rounds
Comments: This attack has a pretty low success rate and is nothing to
worry about.
Strategy
The High-Class UFO has a Shield up from the beginning of the battle, but
you should be safe just using standard attacks to defeat this enemy. If
you want to get rid of its Shield, use the Neutralizer or the Shield
Killer.
Defeat any Beautiful UFOs before attacking the High-Class UFO; the two
enemies have about the same Offense, but the Beautiful UFO is easier to
defeat.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower

recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower

Always chase after this enemy if you see it. A victory against the Master
Criminal Worm will yield enough experience points to almost always level
up someone. This enemy looks like a small red worm outside of battle.
The Master Criminal Worm appears rarely and always runs away from the
party, allowing you to easily approach it from behind and get an instant
victory. It is rare to actually have to fight this enemy in battle, but if
you do use PSI Shield[sigma] in the first round to protect from Fire. This
enemy has very high Speed and will likely attack first each round.
f)Mystical Record, Scalding Cup of Coffee, Worthless Protoplasm, Dali's
Clock, Cute Li'l UFO
These enemies can be dealt with by just using standard attacks. Defeat the
Scalding Cup of Coffee first and the Mystical Record second if these
enemies appear in a group.
WALKTHROUGH
a)Preliminaries
NOTE: If Poo was carrying the Hawk Eye when he left, you should get a
phone call from Escargo Express telling you that they have it. Call
Escargo Express and request a delivery to get the Hawk Eye back.
Talk to the native standing near the Pyramid exit to receive the Key to
the Tower.
Next, talk to the merchant standing a little to the north. Buy a French
Fry Pan for Paula and sell whatever her previous weapon was. If Jeff has
the Heavy Bazooka or the Spectrum Beam, you will probably not need to buy
the Crusher Beam, but try to buy at least two Multi Bottle Rockets. This
powerful weapon can inflict more than 1000 HP of damage to a single enemy,
making it an effective boss killer. If you can't afford any, you can wait
until the party reaches Deep Darkness, an upcoming area, before buying
some.
b)Up the Tower
Walk northwest from the Pyramid exit to find what looks like a large
statue of a person. This is Dungeon Man, a giant...robot...or something...
that is inactive at the moment. Approach the front of Dungeon Man and
"use" the Key to the Tower to enter.
There are some enemies inside Dungeon Man, but most of them are weak. Go a
little into Dungeon Man until you see a telephone and a bench. "Check" the
bench to rest; if Jeff has any broken items he can repair, repeatedly rest
on the bench until he does. To the left is a Hospital that provides all
the services of a normal Hospital.
From the bench, walk east and then a little north to find three different
paths. The right path leads to a gift box containing a Molokheiya Soup (a
food item that recovers about 80 HP), and the middle path leads to a Cup
of Lifenoodles. Take the left path to proceed.
Walk forward to find another branching of paths. The elevated area leads
to a Snake and a Super Plush Bear, an item that works like the Teddy Bear
but has about 500 HP. Take the lower path to proceed.
When you get to four ropes, climb up the third one from the left. The
other ropes lead to dead ends and signs that say strange things.
The second floor is a little more dangerous than the first because Lesser
Mooks lurk here. Use PSI Shield[sigma] to defend against its Freeze.
Walk all the way south along the right wall to get to the end of this
floor. If you explore a bit, you can find a bench and gift boxes
containing $10 and food items.
From here on out, it should be pretty easy to make your way to the top of
the tower. Brick Road, the guy Jeff met in Winters, will be waiting for
you.
After talking to him, walk south and fall through the "Return Hole" to
return to the first floor (open the gift box on the way down to get an IQ
Capsule; I recommend you use it on Paula). Exit Dungeon Man.
c)Leaving Scaraba
Dungeon Man will now be a part of your party. His standard attack can
inflict up to 400 HP of damage and his "great big hug" attack can
solidify an enemy.
While Dungeon Man makes a great ally, we need to leave it behind. Go to
the southern end of Scaraba and walk between the trees growing on an
isthmus. Dungeon Man will get stuck in the trees and the party will go on
without him.
Walk to the eastern end of the narrow strip of land and talk to the tribal
native standing there. Answer "yes" when prompted.
Return to Dungeon Man and talk to it. The party will enter and will have
to go to the top floor again.
From Brick Road, walk south and fall through the "Goodbye Exit," the hole
that was previously blocked by a sign. Fall through a couple more holes to
end up in a previously unreachable part of the first floor.
Open the gift box here to find a Talisman Ribbon, an item for Paula.
Walk to the northwest corner of the first floor and "check" the yellow
submarine. The party will take it outside and depart for Deep Darkness.

1.Trudging Through the Swamp
Recommended Level: 46 -> 49
Equipment:
Ness: Big League Bat Paula: French Fry Pan
Night Pendant Flame Pendant
Diamond Band Diamond Band
Lucky Coin Talisman Ribbon
Jeff: Spectrum Beam
Rain Pendant
Diamond Band
Lucky Coin
ITEMS
a)Monkey's Love
Use: solidifies a single, random target in battle; can be used an
unlimited number of times
Obtained: the monkey in Deep Darkness, after teaching it how to teleport
The Monkey's Love can be obtained by teaching Teleport to one of the
monkeys found on the grassy area at the beginning of the swamp. This item
is equivalent to the Slime Generator but can be used by anyone. Give this
to Poo when he returns.
b)Magic Truffle
Use: recovers about 80 PP
Obtained: scattered throughout Deep Darkness
There are five Magic Truffles hidden throughout Deep Darkness. In order to
find one, you will likely need to "use" the Piggy Nose to pinpoint its
location and "check" the area to obtain it. The Piggy Nose can be bought
in the marketplace in Scaraba. I will give rough directions to each Magic
Truffle in the walkthrough.
Having a couple of Magic Truffles can be a lifesaver at a certain point
near the end of the game.
c)Rock Candy
Use: increases Speed, Guts, Vitality, IQ, or Luck by 1 (or 2, with a
condiment)
Obtained: gift box in the Sixth Sanctuary Location
Use the Rock Candy with a Sugar Packet or a Jar of Delisauce to boost the
stat increase to 2. To use a condiment, place the condiment and the Rock
Candy in the same person's inventory and use the Rock Candy.
NOTE: There is a bug in the game that allows you to use the Rock Candy an
infinite number of times. A detailed explanation on how to take
advantage of this bug can be found at starmen.net.
d)Casey Bat
Use: weapon for Ness
Obtained: by defeating Master Barf
The Casey Bat provides the largest boost in Offense for Ness in the game
but has an accuracy of only 25%. Considering the effects of uncontrollable
crying and the high evasion rates of some enemies, the low accuracy of the
Casey Bat is enough for me to recommend you get rid of this item.

Strategy
If Paula has a good amount of PP, have her use Freeze[gamma] or [omega]
while Ness and Jeff uses their standard attacks or the Heavy Bazooka. If
Jeff starts crying and does not have the Heavy Bazooka, use the Hungry
HP-Sucker instead of "shoot;" the item does not always work, but drains
about 150~200 HP when it does.

battle.
-Vacuum attack
Effect: reduce a single target's Offense and Defense by about 6%
Strategy
One or two hits from any party member's standard attack should defeat
the Pit Bull Slug. Defeat this enemy last if it appears in a group. This
is probably the best enemy to fight if you want to level up.
If you want to recover some of Jeff's HP, use the Hungry HP-Sucker on a
group of Pit Bull Slugs.
-Ness: "bash"
-Paula: "bash"
-Jeff: "shoot"
Hungry HP-Sucker
k)Zap Eel
Vulnerable: Fire
Attacks
-Electrical shock attack
Effect: equivalent to Thunder[beta]
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Zap Eel within one round using standard
attacks. One hit from Freeze[beta] and a standard attack should also
work. Attack the Zap Eel only before defeating any Manly Fish's Brothers
if it appears in a group.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[gamma] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower

WALKTHROUGH
a)Preliminaries
NOTE 1: If Poo was carrying the Hawk Eye when he left, you should get a
phone call from Escargo Express telling you that they have it.
Call Escargo Express and request a delivery to get the Hawk Eye
back.
NOTE 2: The party will take 2 HP of damage about every 5 seconds while
walking through the deepest portions of the swamp. If you see red
flashes at a faster rate than this, it is because each person is
taking damage at different times.
NOTE 3: There are five Magic Truffles (recovers 80 PP) hidden throughout
Deep Darkness growing at the base of trees. To help you find them,
buy the Piggy Nose at the Scaraba marketplace, and use it when
you're somewhat close to a Truffle to pinpoint its location.
"Check" the location to take the Truffle. I will give rough
directions to each Magic Truffle in the walkthrough below.
The Magic Truffle can be a lifesaver at one point near the end of
the game; carry at least two with you in preparation.
Check the bird to call Escargo Express and store the Key to the Tower and
the Hieroglyph Copy.
Walk into the swamp and go a little to the east. There is a Magic Truffle
to the left and a little bit south of the lone tree growing out of the
water. "Use" the Piggy Nose to the left of this tree to find its exact
location and "check" the area to take it.
Walk all the way to the east and check behind the lone tree growing in the
dirt to find another Magic Truffle (thanks to: J. Pampalon).
Walk onto the elevated area of grassy land where all the monkeys are. Talk
to the monkey on the right and answer "yes" to its request to receive the
Monkey's Love, an item that can solidify a single random target in battle.
I usually give the Monkey's Love to Poo and have him use it when his
"bash" isn't effective.
To the left are a businessman and a doctor standing near each other. Talk
to the businessman and he will offer to sell you either some items or the
services of the doctor (if you talk directly to the doctor, he will not do
anything for you). If you didn't buy the Lucky Coin in Summers, buy the
Charm Coin here. The doctor can heal any status effect, but you do not
actually need to pay him. When the businessman tells you about the $500
fee, answer "yes" when prompted and select "let him pay" to avoid paying
the fee.
If Jeff isn't carrying at least two Multi Bottle Rockets, talk to the arms
dealer and buy one or two before venturing into the swamp. This is the
most convenient place to buy Multi Bottle Rockets; teleport back to Deep
Darkness whenever you need more.
To the south is man a submerged in the water. This is Deep Darkness's "ATM
Machine," but he will charge a handling fee equal to the amount you
withdraw.
b)Getting Through the Swamp
The party just has to walk through Deep Darkness and reach the other side
of the swamp. A lot of enemies here seem to be susceptible to the Monkey's
Love and the Slime Generator; use those items to pin down enemies you have
trouble against.
Walk south into the swamp and "use" the Hawk Eye when in the darkness. The
swamp will become visible and the Hawk Eye will disappear.
Keep walking south and then turn northwest. The party should enter into a
pretty wide area. There is a gift box to the northwest that contains Beef
Jerky, a food item that recovers about 150 HP.
A little further northwest of the gift box is a Magic Truffle hidden among
the trees. From the gift box, walk northwest and then a little to the left
along the edge of the trees. When the line of trees drops down a bit,
"use" the Piggy Nose to locate the Magic Truffle and "check" the area to
obtain it.
From the gift box containing the Beef Jerky, walk to the west to find a
bird talking about Tenda Village. Open the gift box here to get an IQ
Capsule and either use it on Paula or save it for Poo, who will be
returning soon.
Go back a little to the east and then turn south. There is a crashed
helicopter on a small piece of dry land. Open the gift box here to get a
Cup of Lifenoodles.
To the west is a deep part of the swamp with two lone trees growing out of
the water. To the northwest of the left-hand tree is a Magic Truffle.
Continue walking west and onto the patch of dry land. Open the gift box to
find a Souvenir Coin and equip it on either Paula or Jeff.
To the north is another gift box containing a Rock Candy, an item that
should be used with a Sugar Packet or a Jar of Delisauce. Use the Rock
Candy on Paula or Poo with either condiment to increase a random stat by
two.
From the gift box containing the Rock Candy, walk a little south, east,
and then north into a narrow path of deep water. At the end of this narrow
path is a monster that resembles the Big Pile of Puke and Master Belch
back in Grapefruit Falls. Talk to it to start a mini-boss battle against
Master Barf.
Although Master Barf is Master Belch redux, the Jar of Fly Honey no longer
works to distract him. Use Freeze[gamma] or [omega] while Ness and Jeff
use their standard attacks or the Heavy Bazooka. If Jeff starts crying and
doesn't have the Heavy Bazooka, use the Hungry HP-Sucker instead of
"shoot;" the item doesn't always work, but drains 150~200 HP when it does.
A single Multi Bottle Rocket will likely defeat Master Barf if you want to
end this fight quickly.
Master Barf will drop the Casey Bat when defeated. This weapon is the
strongest weapon for Ness in the game, but it has a very low accuracy and
should be sold.
Walk north to reach another wide part of the swamp. There is one last
Magic Truffle here but it's a bit hard to explain where it is. There are
two floating logs in this area. From the top log, walk directly north
until you're up against the trees. The Magic Truffle is a bit to the left
from this spot (it is behind a tree). "Use" the Piggy Nose to help you
locate it.
Walk all the way to the west and onto dry land. Enter the cave to reach
Tenda Village.
c)Crisis in Winters
None of the Tendas here have much to say yet, but the party can rest at
the inn for free or use the hot springs to heal any status effects.
South of the entrance is a trash can and a telephone among other "weird
junk." Open the trash can to find the Death Ray, a weapon for Jeff.
If you talk to the village chief, the Tenda with the horns, it will talk
about a book that can help the Tendas overcome their shyness. Keep this
book in mind and exit the village.
Outside, the party will get a phone call from Apple Kid. Teleport to
Winters.

ITEMS
a)Sword of Kings
Use: weapon for Poo; increases his Offense by 30
Obtained: defeat the Starman Super
The Starman Super has a 1/128 chance of carrying the Sword of Kings, the
only effective weapon for Poo in the game. The Sword increases Poo's
Offense by 30, but requires a lot of luck or a lot of patience to obtain
(the first time I got this weapon, I had to defeat more than 100 Starman
Supers; the next time, I fought only 3). Be warned that all enemies in

the Slime Generator seem to be effective against the Atomic Power Robot
and can be used to prevent this enemy from replenishing a fuel supply.
Always defeat this enemy last.

You should be able to defeat the Mook Senior in one or two rounds using
standard attacks. Use PSI Shield[sigma] if you face more than one Mook
Senior. Defeat this enemy first if it appears in a group.
Keep everyone's HP above 120~150 HP before engaging this enemy to give
you enough time to use Lifeup on a mortally wounded party member.
-Ness: "bash"
Healing[gamma], if someone is diamondized
recover Ness with Lifeup[gamma] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
-Paula: "bash"
PSI Shield[sigma], if facing more than one
-Jeff: "shoot"
Heavy Bazooka
-Poo: "bash"
PSI Magnet
Healing[gamma], if someone is diamondized
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
d)Starman
Attacks
-Fire a beam
Damage: 50~70 HP (Ness)
30~60 HP (Paula)
50~70 HP (Jeff)
70~100 HP (Poo)
-PSI Magnet[alpha]
-Shield[alpha]
-Guard
Effect: reduce damage inflicted by "bash" by 50% for a single round
-Use a Sudden Guts Pill
Effect: doubles target's Guts
Comments: I don't think the Starman's beam attack can hit with a
SMAAAASH!!, and I don't think enemies can survive a mortal
blow. This move is probably just a waste of a turn.
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Starman in one or two rounds with
standard attacks, provided it does not "guard." Defeat this enemy only
before any Atomic Power Robots.
Use PSI Magnet against the Starman to recover PP.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[gamma] if HP falls to 70 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 70 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 70 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
-Paula: "bash"
PSI Magnet[omega]
-Jeff: "shoot"
Heavy Bazooka
-Poo: "bash"
PSI Magnet[omega]
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 70 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 70 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 70 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
e)Starman Deluxe
Recommended Level: 53
Attacks
-Fire a beam
Damage: 110~160 HP (Ness)
100~140 HP (Paula)
110~160 HP (Jeff)
150~200 HP (Poo)
-Starstorm[alpha]
Comments: Use PSI Shield[sigma] in the first round to defend against
this attack. If Paula is at least level 60 and has learned PSI
Shield[omega], the reflection damage can be enough to defeat
the Starman Deluxe in one round.
-PSI Shield[beta]
Comments: The Starman Deluxe is protected with a PSI Shield from the
beginning of the battle. If you don't have a Multi Bottle
Rocket, eliminate the Starman Deluxe's shield with a Shield
Killer or Thunder before using other PSI attacks.
-Call for help
Effect: either a Starman or a Starman Super joins the battle
Strategy
Make sure everyone is above 150 HP before starting this fight. If Jeff
has a Multi Bottle Rocket, you should be able to win in one or two
rounds. Use PSI Shield[sigma] just in case the Starman Deluxe uses
Starstorm while Ness and Poo use their standard attacks. The Monkey's
Love works against this enemy roughly 25 to 50% of the time, so have Poo
use it if you want to play more defensively. Avoid using PSI attacks
because this boss has a PSI power shield up from the beginning of the
battle.
If Jeff does not have any Bottle Rockets, use a Shield Killer until it
works (don't use the Neutralizer; Starstorm is painful) to allow Paula
and Poo to use their strongest Freeze attack and Ness to use PSI Rockin
[beta] ([gamma] costs too much PP); use the Shield Killer again when the
Starman Deluxe uses PSI Shield[beta]. Paula should either "bash" or use
Offense Up[alpha] on Ness and Poo should use the Monkey's Love while the
Starman is shielded.
If Jeff doesn't have the Shield Killer, use the Slime Generator instead
in each round. After using PSI Shield[sigma] in the first round, Paula
should either "bash" or use Offense Up[alpha] on Ness while Poo uses
Thunder[gamma] to eliminate the Starman's Shield. Paula and Poo can then
use their strongest Freeze attack and Ness use PSI Rockin[beta] while
the Starman is unshielded.
-Ness: "bash"
Lifeup[beta] on Poo, if Poo uses Thunder[gamma]
PSI Rockin[beta], while the Starman Deluxe is unshielded
recover Ness with Lifeup[gamma] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
-Paula: (first turn) PSI Shield[sigma]
(first turn) PSI Shield[omega], if at least level 60
"bash", while the Starman Deluxe is shielded
Offense Up[alpha] on Ness, while the Starman Deluxe is shielded
Freeze[omega], while the Starman Deluxe is unshielded
-Jeff: (first turn) Multi Bottle Rocket
(first turn) Shield Killer, if a Bottle Rocket is not available
and the Starman Deluxe is shielded
Slime Generator, if neither a Bottle Rocket nor the Shield Killer
is available
-Poo: Monkey's Love
Thunder[gamma], if a Bottle Rocket is not available and the
Starman Deluxe is shielded
Freeze[gamma], while the Starman Deluxe is unshielded
recover Ness with Lifeup[gamma] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
f)Starman Super
Attacks
-Fire a beam
Damage: 60~90 HP (Ness)
30~70 HP (Paula)
60~90 HP (Jeff)
70~120 HP (Poo)
-Healing[omega]
-PSI Shield[beta]
-Guard
Effect: reduce the damage inflicted by "bash" by 50% for one round
-Call for help
Effect: a Starman joins the battle
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Starman Super in one or two rounds by
using standard attacks, provided it does not "defend." Defeat this enemy
first if it appears in a group. Avoid using PSI attacks because this
enemy is protected by a PSI Power Shield from the beginning of the
battle.
The Starman Super has a 1/128 chance of dropping the Sword of Kings, the
only effective weapon for Poo in the game.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[gamma] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
-Paula: "bash"
PSI Magnet[omega]
-Jeff: "shoot"
Heavy Bazooka
-Poo: "bash"
PSI Magnet[omega]
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
WALKTHROUGH
a)Traveling South
If Jeff doesn't have at least two Multi Bottle Rockets, teleport to Deep
Darkness and buy a couple from the arms dealer.
Also, if both Ness and Poo haven't learned Healing[gamma] (at level 53 and
36 respectively), take a couple of Secret Herbs along with you in case
someone gets diamondized (you can buy some from the business man in Deep
Darkness or in Saturn Valley).
Teleport to Snow Wood Boarding House in Winters. Start walking south to
Dr. Andonuts's Lab.
NOTE: Take the Pencil Eraser with you to eliminate a pencil statue on the
way to Dr. Andonuts's Lab. This should be the last pencil statue in
the game; give the Pencil Eraser to Escargo Express after this.
The new enemies in Winters aren't too tough and you should do all right by
just using standard attacks. If you end up fighting a group, give priority
to defeating the Lesser Mook first and use PSI Shield[sigma] to defend
against its Freeze attacks if you have to.
At the lake, talk to the Bubble Monkey to ride Tessie to the other side.
Walk south and "use" the Pencil Eraser on the pencil statue to create a
shortcut. From here, it should be easy to get to Dr. Andonuts's Lab.
Talk to the Mouse inside Dr. Andonuts's Lab to receive the Eraser Eraser.
"Check" the Instant Revitalizing Device to recover before going to
Stonehenge.
b)The Stonehenge Base: Preliminaries
The Stonehenge Base is a pretty long area with lots of enemies. PP may run
low near the end of the Base, but Magic Butterflies can be found within
Stonehenge and you can use PSI Magnet to recover PP. Any Magic Truffles
found in Deep Darkness can help here as well, but save at least a couple
for later. Have Poo use Lifeup and Healing instead of Ness for the most
part since Poo can use PSI Magnet.
The first part of Stonehenge is a maze-like cave full of Mook Seniors,
Starmen, and Atomic Power Robots. Keep everyone's HP above 150 before
engaging any enemies in case someone gets hit by the Mook Senior's Freeze,
and use PSI Shield[sigma] whenever you encounter more than one Mook
Senior. Use Healing[gamma] to cure anyone diamondized, and always defeat
Mook Seniors first when facing a group.
Defeat the Atomic Power Robot last because it will explode when defeated.
Use the Slime Generator or the Monkey's Love if you want to prevent it
from replenishing its HP. Poo's "mirror" also seems to work pretty well
against this enemy; use it to recover HP without using PSI.
The Starman isn't very powerful and is a good target to use PSI Magnet
against. When you see one on the field, wait for it to teleport close to
the party before approaching it; this seems to maximize the chances of
getting a green swirl.
c)Stonehenge Base
"Use" the Eraser Eraser on the eraser statue at the entrance to Stonehenge
to eliminate it. The Eraser Eraser will no longer be used and should be
given to Escargo Express.
From the eraser statue walk south and through the cave opening into the
second area.
Two paths lead out of the second area. They both take you to the same
place, but the right path may be a little shorter.
Open the gift box in the third area to get a Spicy Jerky, a food item that
recovers about 250 HP. Go east into the next area.
The path to the northeast in the fourth area leads to a Guts Capsule, an
item I recommend you use on Ness. Take the path to the south to proceed.
(All enemies in the Base will disappear once the boss here is defeated,
making it easier for you to get any gift boxes you leave behind).
You will see another two paths a little way into the fifth area. The top
path leads to a gift box containing a Cup of Lifenoodles and the right
path leads to the next section of Stonehenge.
There are no more Mook Seniors in the next part of the base, but you will
start encountering Starman Supers. This enemy can be defeated with just
standard attacks but always take them out first in battle because they can
revive defeated cohorts with Healing[omega].
NOTE: The Starman Super has a 1/128 chance of carrying the Sword of
Kings, the only effective weapon for Poo in the game. The Sword
increases Poo's Offense by 30, but requires a lot of luck or a lot
of patience to obtain (the first time I got this weapon, I had to
defeat more than 100 Starman Supers; the next time, I fought only
3). Be warned that all enemies in Stonehenge will disappear once the
boss here is defeated, and the Sword of Kings cannot be found
anywhere else.
Walk to the right from the entrance to find a Broken Harmonica, an item
Jeff can repair into the Baddest Beam (55 IQ required). You probably won't
need this item if Jeff has the Heavy Bazooka. Walk down the ladder in
front of the entrance to proceed.
Walk to the east and open the gift box to get a PSI Caramel. You should
use this here.
Continue walking east to reach a room where some Exit Mouse live. You can
use them to go back outside if necessary. Otherwise, continue walking east
into the next area.
There is a new enemy lurking in this maze-like section of the base, but it
can be defeated with standard attacks. All the way to the right of the
entrance is a Broken Trumpet, an item Jeff can repair into the Defense
Shower. The Defense Shower increases the entire party's Defense by about
6% per use in battle, but I've never felt a need to use it.
Walk north from the entrance and follow the path to the northeast. At the
end of this path are two gift boxes containing a Pixie's Bracelet and a
Speed Capsule. Equip the Pixie's Bracelet on Paula and use the Speed
Capsule on Paula. Enter the door to the east.
The next room is filled with tubes holding abducted people, including the
Apple Kid.
d)Starman Deluxe
Enter the next room to encounter the Starman Deluxe. Make sure everyone
has at least 150 HP before talking to it.
With a Multi Bottle Rocket, you should be able to win this battle in one
or two rounds. Paula should use PSI Shield[sigma] (or [omega] if at least
level 60) just in case the Starman Deluxe uses Starstorm while Ness and
Poo use their standard attacks. The Monkey's Love works against this enemy
roughly 25 to 50% of the time, so have Poo use it if you want to play a
little more defensively. Avoid using PSI attacks such as Freeze because
this boss has a PSI Power Shield up from the beginning of the battle.
The base will shut down after the Starman Deluxe is defeated and all
enemies will disappear from the area. Go into the previous room and talk
to the Mr. Saturn. He will give the party the Saturn Ribbon, an item for
Paula. If Paula had the Souvenir Coin, equip that on Jeff or Ness.
Next, talk to the Apple Kid about the Overcoming Shyness Book and head
back outside. "Use" an Exit Mouse to make things quicker, unless there
were some gift boxes you did not open on the way to the Starman Deluxe.
_______________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________
2.Help the Tendas
WALKTHROUGH
a)The Shyness Book
After defeating the Starman Deluxe and talking to Apple Kid, teleport to
Onett and go to the Library.
"Check" the bookshelves on the first floor of the Library for the Shyness
Book. The book seems to always be on the left-most section of the
bookshelf in the room on the right.
Teleport to Tenda Village and "use" the Shyness Book while standing next
to the Chief. The Chief will read the book to everyone in the village and
give the party the Tendakraut, an item that will help you later.
A voice will then take over and start talking to you, the player. Just as
Tony did previously in Toto, this voice will ask for your name. Your name
will appear a couple of times at the end of the game.
EXTRAS
a)Stuff to Do in Tenda Village
Purpose: -receive a Bag of Dragonite
-read some text that talks about the party's adventure
-trade Horns of Life for other items
Now that the Tendas are no longer shy, you can do a few new things here.
First, you can talk to the Tenda chief to receive a Bag of Dragnoite, an
item that inflicts about 250~400 HP of Fire damage to all enemies on
screen (Thanks to: C.V. Reynolds).
Next, talk to the villager near the Chief and answer "yes" to its offer.
A funky background will fill the screen and some scrolling text will talk
about the party's adventure (this is very similar to what happens when you
drink coffee in Saturn Valley). Like before, this text is very long and
you'll have to sit through the whole thing once it starts.
There is also a Tenda in the northwest corner of the Village that will
trade items for Horns of Life. Each time the Tenda receives a Horn of
Life, he will give whatever item is at the top of his list. Here is a list
of what each item does:
Plain Roll: recovers about 80 HP
Pain Yogurt: recovers about 160 HP
Plain Roll: recovers about 80 HP
Spicy Jerky: recovers about 250 HP
Bag of Dragonite: inflicts about 250~400 HP of Fire damage to all
enemies; gone after one use
Talisman Coin: armor; equip as "other" for Ness, Paula, or Jeff;
increases Defense and Luck
Hall of Fame Bat: weapon for Ness
(Total value: $6674
Total cost: $12,460)
Horns of Life can be bought at Saturn Valley for $1780 each. I do not
recommend you trade with the Tenda, however, because the two most helpful
items on the list--the Talisman Coin and the Hall of Fame Bat--will be
quickly superseded by equipment sold at the next village.

ENEMIES
a)Conducting Spirit
Attacks
-Flash[alpha]
-Flash[beta]
-Thunder[beta]
-Thunder[gamma]
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Conducting Spirit in one or two rounds
using standard attacks. You can also use Freeze[gamma] and follow it up
with standard attacks to defeat this enemy before it can cause serious
damage. If the Conducting Spirit appears with an Uncontrollable Sphere,
have Paula use PSI Shield[sigma] and Poo use Freeze[beta] or [gamma].
Defeat this enemy first if it appears in a group.
-Ness: "bash"
recover anyone not carrying the Franklin badge with Lifeup if HP
falls to 120 or lower
-Paula: "bash"
Freeze[beta] or Freeze[gamma]
PSI Shield[sigma], if facing an Uncontrollable Sphere also
-Jeff: "shoot"
Heavy Bazooka
-Poo: "bash"
Freeze[beta] or Freeze[gamma]
recover anyone not carrying the Franklin badge with Lifeup if HP
falls to 120 or lower
b)Electro Specter (Sanctuary Boss)
Recommended Level: 56
Attacks
-Electrical shock attack
Effect: equivalent to Thunder[beta]
-Hungry HP-Sucker
Effect: drains about 10~20% of all party members' HP and gives it to the
Electro Specter
-Neutralizer
Effect: reset stat changes and removes shields; affects all enemies and
party members
-Shield Killer
Effect: removes any shield protecting a single target
Strategy
With only one attack that inflicts significant damage, the Electro
Specter is one of the easiest Sanctuary Bosses in the game. It's
protected with a PSI Power Shield from the beginning of the battle, so
have Jeff use the Neutralizer or the Shield Killer to eliminate it
before using Paula and Poo's strongest Freeze attack.
-Ness: "bash"
PSI Rockin[beta]
recover Ness with Lifeup[gamma] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[gamma] if HP falls to 150 or lower
-Paula: "bash"
Freeze[omega], if unshielded
-Jeff: (first turn) Neutralizer or Shield Killer
"shoot"
Heavy Bazooka
Multi Bottle Rocket
-Poo: "bash"
Freeze[gamma], if unshielded
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 150 or lower
c)Fobby
Vulnerable: Fire, Freeze, Paralysis, Brainshock
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 40~60 HP (Ness)
10~20 HP (Paula)
10~20 HP (Jeff)
60~80 HP (Poo)
-PSI Magnet[alpha]
Comments: The Fobby can't use PSI for the first four rounds of every
battle.
-Brainshock[alpha]
-HP-Sucker
Effect: drains 10~20% of a single target's max HP and gives it to the
user
Comments: This attack has a pretty low success rate and is nothing to
worry about.
Strategy
About one hit from Ness's "bash" or two hits from any other party
member's standard attack should defeat the Fobby. Try to defeat two
Fobbies in one round by having Ness and Poo target a different enemy
from Paula and Jeff. Use Lifeup to keep everyone's HP above 100 when
facing a large group of Fobbies.
You can use PSI Magnet[omega] on a group of Fobbies to recover a lot of
PP. This enemy is also the best to fight if you want to level up. Defeat
the Fobby last if it appears with anything else.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[gamma] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[gamma] if HP falls to 100 or lower

PSI Magnet[omega]
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 100 or lower

Attacks
-Fire a beam
Damage: 80~110 HP (Ness)
50~80 HP (Paula)
50~80 HP (Jeff)
90~130 HP (Poo)
-Shield[beta]
-Disrupt your senses
Effect: renders a single target unable to use PSI for four rounds
Comments: This attack has a pretty low success rate and is nothing to
worry about.
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Hyper Spinning Robo in one or two
rounds using standard attacks. If this enemy uses Shield[beta],
eliminate the shield with the Neutralizer or the Shield Killer or attack
with Freeze[beta]. Defeat this enemy after any Conducting Spirits.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[gamma] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 80 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 80 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[gamma] if HP falls to 120 or lower
-Paula: "bash"

e)Uncontrollable Sphere
Vulnerable: Fire, Hypnosis
Resistant: Freeze
Attacks
-Standard attack
Damage: 70~100 HP (Ness)
40~60 HP (Paula)
40~60 HP (Jeff)
90~130 HP (Poo)
-Fire[alpha]
-Fire[beta]
-Start laughing maniacally
Effect: makes a single target feel strange
-Explode into bits (death action)
Damage: 150~400 HP
Peripheral Damage: 50~200 HP
Comments: A party member should only suffer about 50 HP of damage at
most if you defeat this enemy last and end the battle quickly.
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Uncontrollable Sphere in one or two
rounds with standard attacks. Use PSI Shield[sigma] if you want to
defend against Fire. If this enemy appears with a Conducting Spirit,
have Paula use PSI Shield[sigma] while Poo uses Freeze [beta] or [gamma]
to defeat the Conducting Spirit first. Defeat the Uncontrollable Sphere
last if it appears in a group.
This enemy has a 1/128 chance of carrying the Broken Antenna, an item
that Jeff can repair into the Gaia Beam. The Gaia Beam is the most
powerful weapon in the game for Jeff but requires a lot of luck or a lot
of patience to obtain.
-Ness: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[gamma] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[gamma] if HP falls to 120 or lower
-Paula: "bash"

Heavy Bazooka
-Poo: "bash"
recover Ness with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Paula with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Jeff with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
recover Poo with Lifeup[beta] if HP falls to 120 or lower
WALKTHROUGH
a)Lumine Hole
After curing the Tendas of their shyness, talk to the Tenda standing next
to a big rock in the southwest corner of Tenda Village. This Tenda is
very strong and will lift the rock up for the party, revealing a hole
that leads into the Seventh Sanctuary Cave.
There is a talking rock at the bottom of the hole. You'll have to talk to
this rock before moving on. Several of these rocks can be found in the
Sanctuary Cave, but none of them say anything important.
b)Seventh Sanctuary Cave: Enemies
The enemies found in the Seventh Sanctuary Cave are the Fobby, the
Uncontrollable Sphere, the Hyper Spinning Robo, and the Conducting Spirit.
The Fobbies tend to attack in large groups and are the best enemies to
fight if you want to level up. Just one or two hits from a standard attack
should defeat a Fobby.
The Uncontrollable Sphere and the Conducting Spirit are found in the lower
level of the Sanctuary Cave and can use pretty powerful PSI attacks. Use
PSI Shield[sigma] if you want to defend against their PSI and use standard
attacks to defeat them. If you are having trouble against the Conducting
Spirit, use Freeze[beta] or [gamma]. Always defeat the Uncontrollable
Sphere last because it explodes when defeated. Hyper Spinning Robos can be
dealt with by just using standard attacks or Freeze if it uses Shield
[beta].
NOTE: The Uncontrollable Sphere has a 1/128 chance of carrying the Broken
Antenna, an item Jeff can repair into his most powerful weapon in
the game.
c)Seventh Sanctuary Cave
Walk as far west as you can from the entrance and go down the ladder to
find a Diadem of Kings and an IQ Capsule. Equip the Diadem on Poo and use
the IQ Capsule on Paula or Poo.
Go back towards the entrance and turn north at the junction (the nearby
ladder and hole lead to a Super Bomb). At the end of this path is a Luck
Capsule. Use it on whomever you want. Climb down the ladder near the gift
box.
There is a gift box in the lower levels containing a Rock Candy. Use this
item with a Sugar Packet or Jar of Delisauce to increase a random stat by
2 (condiments can be bought in Twoson or Scaraba).
There are two ladders leading out of the lower levels, both of which lead
to the Shining Spot. The first ladder leads to a Cup of Lifenoodles and a
Luxury Jerky, a food item that recovers about 300 HP, but the path to the
boss is a little longer. There is a Bottle of DXwater (recovers 40 PP for
Poo) on the way to the other ladder.
Before talking to the Shining Spot, open the gift box near it to get the
Rabbit's Foot. This item can be very helpful against an enemy that appears
near the end of the game and should be given to Paula.
d)Sanctuary Boss
The Seventh Sanctuary Boss is the Electro Specter. With only one attack
that inflicts significant damage, the Electro Specter is one of the
easiest Sanctuary Bosses in the game. It is protected by a PSI Power
Shield from the beginning of the battle, so have Jeff use the Neutralizer
or the Shield Killer to eliminate it before using PSI.

Record the Eighth Sanctuary Melody
1.Exploring Underground
Recommended Level: 57
Equipment:
Ness: Big League Bat Paula: French Fry Pan
Night Pendant Flame Pendant
Diamond Band Pixie's Bracelet
Lucky Coin Saturn Ribbon
Jeff: Death Ray Poo: (nothing) or Sword of Kings
Rain Pendant (nothing)
Diamond Band Bracer of Kings
Souvenir Coin Diadem of Kings
ITEMS
a)Sea Pendant
Use: armor; equip on "body" for Ness, Paula, or Jeff; increases Defense
and provides protection from Fire, Freeze, and Flash
Obtained: gift box, in the northeast corner of the Underworld
Obtain the Sea Pendant and equip it on Paula. If Paula was equipped with
the Flame Pendant, give that to Jeff.
b)Cloak of Kings
Use: armor; equip on "body" for Poo; increases Defense and Speed
Obtained: gift box, northeast of the Eighth Sanctuary Cave
The Cloak of Kings can be found on the way to the Eighth Sanctuary Cave.
Poo will likely end up having the highest Speed in the party after
equipping this item.
c)Magic Fry Pan
Use: weapon for Paula; increases Offense by 50 and Guts by 100
Obtained: Chomposaur
The Chomposaur has a 1/128 chance of carrying the Magic Fry Pan. The
Offense increase isn't the best and I don't think this weapon is worth
going out of your way to get, but it can increase Paula's chances of
getting a SMAAAASH!! hit and surviving a mortal blow.

ENEMIES
a)Chomposaur
Resistant: Fire
Attacks
-Stomp with its huge foot
Damage: 90~140 HP (Ness)
70~120 HP (Paula)
70~120 HP (Jeff)
90~140 HP (Poo)
-Swing its tail very hard
Damage: 210~300 HP (Ness)
200~280 HP (Paula)
200~280 HP (Jeff)
210~300 HP (Poo)
-Fire[alpha]
-Fire[beta]
-Fire[gamma]
Strategy
You should be able to defeat the Chomposaur in about four rounds with
standard attacks. Use PSI Shield[sigma] in the first round to defend
against Fire, and attack with Freeze[gamma] or [omega] if you want to
inflict extra damage.
The Chomposaur is protected by a Power Shield from the beginning of the
battle, but don't use the Neutralizer and remove your own shield (use a
Shield Killer instead if you can); just use three standard attacks to
eliminate the shield or use Freeze. The Slime Generator and the Monkey's
Love are somewhat effective against the Chomposaur, so use one of the
those items in each round to get some free hits.
The Chomposaur has a 1/128 chance of carrying the Magic Fry Pan, a
weapon for Paula that increases Offense by 50 and Guts by 100. The
Offense increase isn't the best and I don't think it's worth going out
of your way to get, but it can increase Paula's chances of getting a
SMAAAASH!! hit and surviving a mortal blow.

WALKTHROUGH
a)Features of the Underworld
There are three Hot Spots located in the Underworld that erupt
periodically. There are Blue Hot Springs located in the southeast and
southwest corners of the Underworld and a Red Hot Spring directly north of
a Tenda settlement. The Blue ones completely recover HP and PP, and the
Red one heals all status effects. To recover at a Hot Spring, simply stand
on top of one and wait for it to erupt.
The enemies found here are the Chomposaur, the Wetnosaur, and the Ego Orb.
The Chomposaur is the one to worry about because it can use Fire and
powerful physical attacks. If you face one, use PSI Shield[sigma] in the
first round and attack with Freeze[gamma] or [omega] if necessary. The
Monkey's Love and the Slime Generator also work relatively well against
the Chomposaur, so use those items in each round to try to pin down this
large dinosaur and prevent it from attacking. The Chomposaur is protected
from a Power Shield from the beginning of the battle, but don't use the
Neutralizer to remove it; use three standard attacks or the Shield Killer
instead. The Wetnosaur and the Ego Orb can generally be dealt with using
standard attacks. Try to keep everyone's HP above 150 when facing these
enemies.
NOTE: The Chomposaur has a 1/128 chance of carrying the Magic Fry
