CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION
************************
Welcome to my walkthrough for Mother 3. This guide won't be very helpful, as
I can't read japanese. At all. I do know however, some things of the game,
even if it is in japanese. This guide is only for the game. It only tells you
how to complete the game. It doesn't have translations for important things.
Once the translated ROM is released, I will be able to update this guide, so
then it has almost every thing about this game in it. Until then, im stuck
with the japanese version. This is the third game in the Mother series. Mother
was originally released on the NES in 1989, in Japan only. It was a huge
success, with its different kind of RPG setting. It was set in the 1980's, and
had weapons like frying pans, and yo-yos. It ditched the familiar setting with
knights and mages in it. Then came the sequel, Mother 2 on the SNES. Mother 2
was also released in America, being called Earthbound instead. Unfortunately,
Earthbound didn't make it to Europe, where I live. Mother 2 was set in 199X,
and had the same kind of setting has Mother. Mother 2 was again a hit in
Japan, but wasn't as popular in America. It was released when RPGs weren't
the kind of game america wanted, and was also released with the hugely popular
Final Fantasy VI and chrono Trigger, very popular RPG games both made by
squaresoft. Then, a sequel was announced, Mother 3 was set to be released for
the Nintendo 64 DD system (disk drive). But due to production issues, the game
was never to be. But it seems all is not lost. In japan, for the Game Boy
Advance, Mother and Mother 2 were released as a double pack to kind of get
the series known again, as in 2003 or something like that, Mother 3 was
announced to be released on the GBA instead, with the same story line and
stuff. So in 2006, the game has been released. I have played the other two
Mother games, and they are great. But they're not exactly easy to finish,
and this is harder being in japanese. I hope this rough guide of the game will
help you to complete the game! Good luck!
***********************
CHAPTER 2 - WALKTHROUGH
***********************
This is hopefully a detailed enough walkthrough for you to at least get
through the game. I cannot tell you any major story line stuff, or anything
like that, as I do not understand the game. I can however, tell you what the
different menus are, and the like. I hope you find this guide useful enough so
you can complete Mother 3! This game is divided into a prolouge, and 8
chapters. My current walkthrough will only have a guide for all 8 of those
chapters and the prolouge. NOTE: I can't be bothered to find the part of
the battle section in this guide. When you select the musical note icon in
battle, its actually a new, but rather hard and confusing combo thing. It's
something like you have to press the A button so you can combo enemies in
time with the rythm of the music. It's something along the lines of that.
Hope this helps!
CONTROLS
I have put here a list of what I *think* the controls are.
Directional pad - Scroll through options, move characters.
A button - Confirm option, activate (meaning your main action button).
B button - Cancel, go back. when your outside press this, to make your
character kneel down, when you release B, he will start to run.
Use the directional buttons to move direction, and press B to stop
running.
L button - Switch to other menus in inventory, possibly other stuff.
I think its also activate when not in menus.
R button - Switch to other menus in inventory, possibly other stuff.
View the map, as long as you have it. There is different maps
for different areas.
Start - Bring up the menu.
Select - Brings up your characters HP and PP at the bottom of the screen.
CHARACTER NAMES
The more I play Mother 3, the more I learn. It seems that I now know more of
the characters names. Here is the list, and a short description so you know
who they are.
Younger twin brother: Lucas (yellow haired kid)
Older twin brother: Claus (orange haired kid)
Mother: Hinawa (Flint's wife, and mother of Lucas and Claus)
Father: Flint (Lucas's and Claus' father)
Dog: Boney (Flint's brown dog)
Thief: Duster (He is the ladder guy)
Princess: Kumatora (she has pink hair, she's also a PSI user)
Monkey: Sarusa (it's a monkey...)
This guide contains SPOILERS, sorry but there is! I will try to not spoil the
game though. Read at your own risk...
GAME TIPS
1. Although the combo system is a pain in the ass to master, try to anyways.
Comobos are more or less, part of the game and you must learn to master them.
2. Training up your character isn't hard, and doesn't take up too much time.
When ever you are doing this, make sure your neal a hot spring, or anything
like that to heal you when you need it.
3. Make sure you know what the items do! If you can't read japanese, you will
need to try them out so you know what they do.
4. Try to fight ALL the battles you get. This will earn you more EXP and make
the game much more easier.
5. Pick up all the items you can.
6. If your ever stuck, try walking about abit until one of your characters
learns a new PSI ability, as long as you have a PSI user in the party. If so,
try learning some new abilities. Remember, start walking around alot. If the
PSI character starts to sweat, that means you cannot run, but soon they will
learn a new PSI ability. Just keep walking around until they learn it.
7. Know what characters abilities do, so you can use them to their full
potential in battle.
8. More importantly, never give up. If your stuck, and there seems to be no
hope of you getting past the part your stuck at, keep trying. You will do it
eventually.
PART 1 - STARTING THE GAME
Okay, the game begins with
the Nintendo, game boy player, brownie brown logos. Then it gets on the title
screen, with MOTHER 3 in big capital english letters. Then underneath, it has
New Game and Sound player. You will have to press Start at the health and
safety warning screen which comes up first. After the HAL logo, the title
screen will apear. Press start on New Game, as I don't quite understand the
Sound player thing yet. To know which option your on, its the one highlighted
in white, whilst the others are a reddy colour. After this, you will see a big
menu with lots of crazy japanese characters on it. And at the top left, the
main character running across the screen. This is the part to choose all of
the characters names, and what your favorite food/thing is. First you have to
name the main character. If your not bothered, then just use any random
japanese characters. If you just want the default, press the A button whilst
the arrow is hovering over the bottom left word, which is in japanese. And,
if you want your characters name to be in English, so you can easily recognise
them in battle, highligh the ABC option, then press A to bring up the familiar
english letter menu. Then press the A button to enter the letter in which your
highlighting, and press B to delete the last letter. Press Start, and the
cursor will highlight the word at the bottom right of the screen. Press A here
to finish naming your character. After naming all the characters, your dog
and your favorite food/thing, its time to start! But first, theres some menu.
You will see three seperate menus. On the top right one, press the A button
when the cursor is next to the top word. The cursor will move to the left menu
which lets you choose the text speed. I think the bottom is fast, the middle
is medium and the top is slow. If you can't read japanese, best to put it on
fast. Then, press start to go back, and make the cursor go next to the middle
word. Press the A button, to select the colour you want for the menus in
the game. The defualt is a grey/brownie colour. Next is a very light blue,
cool blue if you will. Then theres pink, then yellow, then a light brown, then
a purple, and finally a very light green. Next press start, and make the
cursor be next to the bottom word. Press A, then your onto the last menu.
This menu is to confirm if all your names and settings are correct. If they
are, press A whilst the cursor is next to the word on the left. If not, press
the A button whilst the cursor is next to the right word. This will take you
back so you can make your choices again. After confirming these are correct,
the game will begin. The message "Welcome to the Mother3 world" will come up,
against a black background. Then a big island appears, then the screen starts
to pan across some of the places in this new land, with some japanese text
coming up in the middle of the screen. Finally it gets to your house, and your
currently asleep. This is where the game begins.
PROLOUGE
You will hear a knocking, then the screen will appear.
Someone will shout your name, to try and get you to wake up I guess. Press
the A button to continue through the text. Your character (which I called
Lucas, so I may refer to him being named Lucas)
will jump out of bed, rubbing his eyes. Head down stairs, and try to go
out of the house. The woman (I think shes your mother, I dunno) will say some
words to you. Then you have a choice. The left word is the one you want to
select to carry on. This will make your main character get dressed upstairs.
Selecting the right option lets you explore abit more, although I don't think
you can find any items here. Once your dressed, head back down stairs and go
outside. You can talk to the guy if you want, I don't think it does anything
special. If you head all the way downwards, you will be stopped before you
leave the place. You will not be able to go any further. Instead, go right.
You will see a frog jumping around. Talking to him will allow you to save your
game (weird). To save it, talk to him. Select the left option, then choose a
save file. You can have up to 2 saved games. Choose which one, and press the
A button. Then, select the left option to confirm, and save the game. Use the
right one if you chose the wrong save file. Then press B to go back. After
you have finished, go right. Soon the screen will pan to the right, and you
will see a little kid, I think he's your brother. He looks just like you, but
with different colour clothes and hair. Anyways, you will also notice some
dinosaurs. He will run into one. It seems not to even flinch, but then it crys
in pain, and falls down. Your character will walk up to this guy. From now
on, I will call him the orange haired guy. The dinosaur gets back up, and the
orange haired kid will notice you. He starts to talk to you. He will then turn
around, preparing himself to charge into the dinosaur. You will get a choice
of what to say. Either the left, or right option. If you choose the left
option the kid will say something, and move to the left. Then the old guy will
dome and talk to you for abit. Then the kid will hit the dinosaur again. Then
it will get up, and after the talking, your back in control. Looking around
the area theres not much, just some more dinosaurs which look abit like that
water pokemon from ruby and sapphire. Well, one of the evolved water pokemon,
the water one you start with. Anyways, go back in front of the dinosaur,
hold down B, then run into it. It will then fall over. Then, talk to the
orange haired guy again. He will talk to you, then some kinda brown thing
will move up to the dinosaur. The dinosaur gets up, and sniffs the creature.
The small brown creature then attacks you! It's your first battle! I'm not
quite sure what the different icons mean though. I think the one with the
musical note means attack, the one with the bag is obviously your inventory,
the cross I think means heal yourself, and the arrow will let you
run away, although it doesn't always work. It seems that
the orange kid's commands don't include this arrow icon. Attack the enemy
as many times as you can, you can't really die. If you do, then you most
probably get game over. I don't know, I didn't get game over at this part.
Eventually you will kill it, and win the battle! The brown creature will get
up, and run away. Then the woman will come, and say something. Then the orange
haired kid says something, and him and your main character will run off.
The woman continues to talk to the man, then she walks off. The old man will
follow her, but will stop and start talking to himself I think. Eventually he
will go. You will then see all the family talking at the table, apart from the
man. He's doing something. The orange haired kid asks some questions, then the
woman will leave the building. The screen will get abit darker, and a whole
load of japanese text will scroll up the screen, with your naming appearing
a couple of times. Once thats done, the screen goes back to normal, and the
woman releases a blue bird. She walks down abit, and you will hear some sort
of crazy sound in the background. She then turns around, and a black circle,
the shadow of something in the sky, will move across the screen. She looks
back, and is puzzled. She will then walk back inside the house. MOTHER 3 will
appear on the screen, so press Start.
CHAPTER 1 - NIGHT OF THE FUNERAL
You will see a forest, and its night time. Suddenly, some thing will go BOOM
and things are blowing up inside the forest. You will see some guy walk out of
his house holding a log, and he will look back to his child. The child goes
back inside, and he goes off. You will then see some animals running around
the place, and two rather mysterious pinky figures appear, and throw something
to the right. They will bash into each other, falling onto the floor. This
object starts to flash, and it appears to be a bomb, it will soon blow up
after the two figures have run away. The whole forest is on fire, and the
screen comes to a town. People are running around the place like crazy. Then
you will see what I think is a fire man running to someones house. You will
start to control the man inside the house. If you go other to the bed with
the blue cusion on it, you can rest. I find it funny hows he's going to rest
when there's some guy knocking on his door. Anyways, when your ready walk up
to the door to answer it. After the guy at the door has talked, he will fall
over and the guy from inside the house will come out. Choose the left option
when it comes up to let the guy join your party. The classic Earthbound music
plays when he joins your party! Anyways, go right, then up and save your game
at the frog. Once you have saved, go up the hill, so you can collect the item
in the present. Press the A button when standing in front of the present to
collect the item. I don't actually know what it is, but it's some sort of
healing item. I think it's some bread, guessing from the picture. It will
heal 30HP to one of your characters. Go back to the path, and follow it into
town. Thomas Bazaar and Yado seem to be closed, so go on strait ahead. Talk
to the man sitting at the seat to recieve some sort of stick item. It seems
to be a weapon, so now i'll tell you how to navigate the Start menu.
Once your on the menu, some icons will appear at the top left of the screen.
The bag icon is your inventory, the bat icon is your characters equipment,
the head icon is your characters stats, and the Z icon is sleep mode. Once
your in your inventory, I think each character can carry fourteen items each,
where as no one has to carry your Key items. Once your on the inventory menu,
you will see all your characters at the top left, and a key icon. In the
big box below is that characters items they're holding. Press the L and R
shoulder buttons to switch between character. When your scrolling through
the items your character has, press the A button to get some options about
that item. The top option is to use that item. The middle one is to give that
item to someone else. The bottom item is to drop it. Once you have dropped it,
thats it. You can't have it back. The equipment menu is just as easy to go
through. Your characters stats are displayed on the left. Their equipment is
displayed on the right. Press the L and R shoulder buttons to switch between
different characters. Then, press the A button to choose what to equip to that
character for each different type of equipment. I think the top is your
weapon, the second is your armour/clothes, the third is your head gear, and
the fourth is your accessory. Thats what I think. To find out what weapons
are better then others, just look for the numbers to the left increasing. A
red arrow indicates the stat getting better, whilst blue indicates it going
down. On the stat menu, this is simply just for looking at your characters
stats. LV stands for your characters level. The one below that, I think is
their Str. and below that their defence. After that is IQ, which is obviously,
their intelligence. The one below IQ must be your speed or something like that.
I don't actually know. EXP is how much EXP they have at the current time.
NEXT below that is how much EXP they need to gain another level. HP is how
much HP they have out of their max. Thats the same for PP, PP is basically
your MP in this game. Next is your characters equipment. Pressing the L and R
shoulder buttons switches between your characters. Then sleep mode basically
turns it off, saving more power. You must press Select + L + R to go back into
the game. Sleep mode is useful for when you have to do something like go to
the toilet or answer the door.
Anyways, after equipping your weapon, go up the
screen. You can't enter any of the buildings, nor can you go left or right,
a message comes up and you can't go any further. Save at the frog if you must,
and keep going up. Talk to the person if you want, but instead go to the right
to find a present. It has a mushroom in it which will restore 20HP. After you
have got this item, go upwards. You will see some of cave. Keep going up, and
you will find a nut to the left of a rocky structure. Pick it it, it's a nut
that heals 5HP. Go left to find the path. Instead of going up the path, go
to the left more, to find another nut and some more of that bread stuff in a
present. Remember that two of the same item are not stored as one, so having
two of the same item will take up two spaces in your characters inventory. Now
go directly down, and talk to the bird if you want to. He will say something
about pressing start, then A, then select, L and R. I think he's saying some
things about Sleep mode. Pick up the nut, and notice that big man hitting the
bell! Go follow the path to the left if your finished in this area, and keep
going left. Once your past that grey building, and about to go any where near
the three people talking, a guy will walk out and stop you. When you get a
choice, choose the right one to stop him talking. If you try to walk up to get
to the people, he will stop you. Walk into the grey building, which appears
to be a church. Save at the frog if you want, and walk up to the top of the
screen. Pressing the A button at the dragon thing will prompt you to enter
a name. This is your name, so put in your name if you want to do so. Anyways,
go back outside. You won't need to go back to the crossroads, because if you
go up, you will be stopped from going further. You can't go into the cave
either. Once you have entered a name for that shrine thing, go back left and
you will be able to go past the area you couldn't before. In the next area,
continue up and talk to the man standing there. He will give you a biscuit, or
whatever it is. It will heal 15HP. Go right, and then upwards. You will go
through a tree trunk, and be attacked by a Bat. Be careful, because there's
some enemies around here. Only the guy in the hat will be fighting, and the
fight is pretty simple. You will realise he has the same actions at your main
character does. Although he does have a new command, which is an icon with
some sort of arrow thing. I think these are his abilities. The top left one
will just like, attack the enemy. The top right one I don't know what it does.
I think they're are all attacks. Anyways, just keep attacking it to beat
it, it's not that hard. After battle you will realise your characters will
start to flash. This is to make the game more fairer, so if there are more
enemies on the map, they can't attack you. If you an enemy goes into you from
behind, they will have the advantage and can attack first. If you walk into
them from behind, you get the advantage. If you just walk into them as in the
sense your both facing each other, the battle will start normally.
You will now what posistion you was in by the colours. If the screen goes
green, then you have the advantage. If its red, the enemy has the advantage.
If it was neither, no one starts with the advantage. Go left, and check the
present to find a ring. It is classed as an accessory, so go down to the
bottom type of equipment on the equipment screen to equip it. It puts your
defence up I think. Go to the left, and walk into the hot spring to fully
restore your HP you might of lost in fights. Go back right, save at the frog
if you want, and go back right then upwards. In this area are bats, and are
fairly easy to kill. Go upwards into the next area, which is on fire! Be
super careful not to walk into the fire, as it will hurt your character. Go
to the left, then up to see one of those pink things. It will open up some
sort of cage, which will release tiny insect things, that will fly away. He
then notices you and will run away. Start making your way upwards, fighting
the enemies if you wish. Those little green things in the ground are the
enemies. Avoid them if you want to, but I suggest fighting them for EXP.
Keep going upwards, until you reach a present. You will have to risk getting
hurt a little bit to collect it though. It holds some of that bread, which
will heal 30HP. Go left, and you will see that guy with the log lying on the
floor. Talk to him, then go upwards. Three of those insect things will attack
you. After killing them all, the guy that was following you will now stay
behind with the guy lying on the floor. Go upwards, and press the A button at
the barrel to find a frog inside. There certainly is alot of these frogs!
Walk to the right then up, and you will see that guys house, with his child
trapped inside, and its on fire to make things worst! You must save him, so
go below the door, hold down the B button, then charge into the door to get
inside. Once inside, go to the stairs. That blue thing will attack you! This
following fight is abit thougher then the ones you have had before, remember
to use your healing items when needed! When you have beaten this monster, go
up the stairs. Once upstairs, go to the right, then down. There appears to
be a log blocking the way, so you know what to do! Thats right, hold down the
B button, and run through it. Press the A button at the child to get him to
join you. Then take him outside, avoiding the fire downstairs. The whole house
will collapse, and you will see yourself and the little child outside,
completely black. Once your in control, go back to the frog and save. Now
make your way back through the fires, and to the house. You can go into the
spring to heal yourself, and to clear the bottom half of your body of that
blackness. Now keep going back, all the way until your at the church. Once
at the church, go to the right, and you will see the childs father lying
on the table, with people around him. After some talking, it will start to
rain, and your faces will clear.
You will appear to be at some kind of hotel.
Leave the room, and go into the first room on the right. You will find a frog
jumping around in there. In the last room to the right, is a present with what
I think it poison for using against enemies. And you can also rest at the bed
if your in need of some HP. Once you come outside (your at Yado) a guy will
start to talk to you. You will get some choices, so just choose the one on the
left as I don't know what they are. Once he's finished talking to you, your
free to explore the town. Except from there's only 2 new places to go to.
Thomas Bazaar is still closed, and going back upwards to the forest, you will
be stopped and cannot go any further. If you go to the left, which was blocked
off before. You can find the Sheriff's office, which you can't go into and the
beach. Go to the left some more, and you should see a present. Go upwards,
then to the left and then down to get the present. It appears to be another
Mushroom which heals 20HP. Go back to the sheriffs place, as to the left there
is nothing. To the right of the sheriffs office, is a tent. You can't go in it
but there is a present with some of that 30HP healing bread in it. Next, once
your back in town, go to the right. Go across the big bridge, but don't go up
the hill. It leads to a house you can't go into and theres nothing around it.
Instead, keep going, then go up so your to the right of the hill. You will
find a present with some cake in it. I don't know what exactly it does at the
moment. You will see another house, but there's nothing there, or in the house
downwards. It's time to go back, so go into town, then leave this area by
going down. Head back to your house, and save at the frog if you want to. In
front of your house is a blue bird, the one that the woman released earlier on
in the game. Then some japanese text will scroll up the screen, possibly the
same you saw earlier. Once the scrolling text is finished, you will appear to
be inside the mans house. The log man and his child will enter the house. Once
they have finished talking, rest if you want to. Leave the house, and the dog
will start to talk to you. When you get the choice, pick the one on the left,
and the dog will join you! Now, go through town, and back to the grey church.
Once your there, two people will start to talk to you. One of them will leave,
so follow them. Remember you will run into fights in the next area, and your
dog will help you this time though! You can enter that house this time, and
talk to the man inside if you want. Go into the spring to heal yourself if you
want, and save at the frog if you want to do that as well. OK, head back to
the area where the fires were, and go down the path that pink thing went down,
now that the fires have been extinguished. Go to the left, and you will find
many snakes and hooks in the ground. The snakes will poison you though. If one
does, the character will have a skull next to them, and every step you take,
you will get some damage. To cure it, remember that item you might of picked
up earlier, with the skull icon above the bottle? Thats an antidote, so use it
on the character that is poisoned to cure it! When your at a choice of going
down or up, go down to collect an item, another antidote I think. Then go back
upwards. Go right, then up and you will see a present, which has some nut item
in it, which heals 60HP. Only use it in an emergency. Remember, with the dog
in your party, you can carry more items. Then go right, and up. There is an
item to the left, although I don't know what it does. Continue upwards.
Talk to the man standing in front of the crowd, it appears that a tree has
fallen and is blocking the way. Two people will come to move it, but it seems
they can't. Walk to the left, and save at the frog if you want to so so. Go
to the left, then up. Damn, it's a dead end. It doesn't matter, talk to the
person to the right. Then try to leave, and your dog will start to bark. He
will then run up to the cliff face, and start scratching at it. The screen
pans, to show what I think it some clothes stuck on a tree branch. After some
talking, an old guy will come. Talk to him, because if you try to leave your
told to come back I think. Your then asked to name some one I think. The old
man then puts something on the dogs neck, its some orange fabric I think. The
dog then runs to find this person you have just named. Eventually, he finds
him but he seems to be unconcious. The dog will then drag him back to you.
He will then talk to you, and then build a ladder for you, so you can climb
up the cliff. Just walk into it normally to climb up the ladder. At the top is
a frog if you want to save the game. Take the piece of clothing from the tree
branch, also that ladder building guy will join you. Go to the left, to find
the two pink guys. The one on the right is moving his arm which looks like he
is doing something unappropiate. Anyways, it seems they have made some sort of
mechanical caribou thing, which will attack you. Before fighting it though, I
would go into the cave to the right. Inside, you can find two items, and one
of them is that super powerful 60HP restoring nut! There's also some easy
enemies to fight in here, to get some more last minute EXP before fighting
the boss. When fighting this boss, it would seem that it sometimes charges its
powers up. I think, it does nothing for a couple of turns before releasing its
deadly attack, which deals lots of damage. I may be wrong though, and it might
just not attack sometimes. But it definately has an attack that will hurt all
three of your characters, with alot of damage. You characters should do abit
of damage to it, the guy with the hat will do about 25 damage, the dog about
20 and the ladder building guy does about 15. He's the weakest. My suggestions
are to keep attacking, and healing when you need to do so. Be careful, it does
about 30-45 damage. He will do about 20 damage or so doing an normal attack.
It does have alot of HP though, so keep attacking, and constantly healing when
you need too with your items. I don't know the exact amount of HP it has, but
I am guessing around 150-200 or so. Once you beat him, the two pink guys will
run away. Go back and save it, and then go back and press the A button at the
white book thing with red on it. After some text, your character will pick it
up. Then go upwards again. Head forward to their space ship, but it's too late
because just as soon as you get to them, they fly off. Damn. And it seems that
part of the cliff is broken, so you can't get across to the other side. Go
back to the ladder, and climb down. Go to the right, and a guy will talk to
you. Your dog will follow him, so do the same. Yay, it seems they have moved
the tree that was blocking the way! Go through, and then go right to the next
area. Go up, and you will see a load of people sitting around a camp fire.
Walk just underneath the people, and then some people will come to you. You
will regain control, and you will be sitting above the fire. Go right, then up
and you should see a present hidden behind the tree. Get it, its one of those
mega nuts (as I will call them) that heal 60HP. Very useful in boss fights.
You will also notice your by your self now. Anyways, talk to every one you
see, and dont try to leave the area, you can't. After talking to everyone (or
it might just be a particular person) a guy will come running towards you. Go
and talk to him. Hmm, seems something bad has happened, your character will
fall to the ground and punch it a couple of times. Then he picks up a stick
from the fire, and destroys the camp fire with it. He waves it around a couple
of times, and then hits two people down with it. Then he gets hit right on the
back of the head by a guy holding a log. Everything goes blurry. It appears
that Flint (the guy your playing as) as been told his wife is dead. They tell
him that they have found a really cool weapon, but it was inside his wife's
heart. Gruesome. So thats why he goes crazy. He's lost his wife.
The next thing you see is the guy talking to the woman with her two kids, from
the start of the game. He goes inside, then you see the woman walking off in
nothing but whiteness. But then he wakes up. Crap, he's in prison. After the
guy talks, he will leave. Press the A button at the door, and that little
orange haired kid comes running in! He talks to you, and leaves some thing red
on the window. He will walk away, say something then go. Press the A button in
front of the red object, it appears to be an apple, he will eat it. But it
appears to have something in it. I think it might be a file, I don't know. But
anyways, go to door and press the A button. The screen goes black, then when
you can see again, the door is open! The perfect crime, escaping from prison!
Anyways, walk outside, and the guy standing there says some things to you. You
can now enter the tent, but there's nothing in there, well if there is then I
don't know about it. Thomas Bazaar is also open, but I don't think there is
anything in there either. Exit the town by going upwards, then here go up as
well. The gate used to be locked, but its open now, leading to a graveyard.
Go upwards, and you will notice loads of people looking up a path to the right
of that small shack. Go to the right, then up to see the main character, that
little boy. Talk to the man standing next to him, and after some talking the
little boy runs away. I am assuming at this point, that the woman/mother of
the two children has died. I don't know for sure at this point though. Anyways
go back, and go upwards. You will find yourself at the opposite side of a big
castle like building. The problem is, you can't get inside it. You will want
to go to Thomas Bazaar to collect the Drago Fang, used to kill Flints wife.
Once you have collect the drago fang (you need it later) go back to the
big crossroads place, and go to the left. Once your at the church, you will
see what I think is the sheriff. Anyways, he talks to you, then he goes. Now
try to make your way back to the camp place. Remember, go through the part
where there was BIG blazing fires, and then go through the part to the left
that you saw the pinkies run to after they released the bugs. Then go upwards
here, then once your at the part where the cliff is, go to the right. Then
save your game at the frog. When you go to the right, a big bull like enemy
will try to attack you. What you should do, is stand still and wait for it to
charge at you. Then move out of the way to avoid these enemies. They are quite
strong, although you can fight them if you think your good enough. Proceed on
to the next area, and you will find these little mole things come out of the
ground. Go to the right, and be careful. See that present? See that rock? That
rock will move towards you, because its actually a little dinosaur thing.
If you get the present, your rewarded to a blue ring. This ring will put one
of your characters stats up, so I suggest equipping it. Now go up, and across
that plank of wood. If you go to the left, be careful of the rock creatures.
Although it is pretty pointless of going there, because you can't get any
further, your stopped. Instead, go to the right. Keep going until you reach
the kids house. Enter inside, and talk to Alec and he will join
you.
Once your outside, press the A button to talk to that red lizard. It will
spin around, and point in a particular direction, you must head in that
direction. Just remember, Alec won't help you in battle, so be careful when
fighting. Keep following the lizards directions though. Finally you will reach
two frogs. Talk to the one on the right, and they will help you across the
river. To do so, press the right directional button to jump on one. Then wait,
after the sound effect jump again. Go to the right, and into the next area.
Here, talk to the frog to save your game if you wish, and go right and rest in
the spring. Remember, to stand in it for a about 5 seconds to heal yourself.
You might also see a naked guy standing in there. If you talk to him, he says
"what?". Anyways, talk to that pink pig thing you saw, and choose the left
option. Now go into that building in the middle of the small lake. Talk to
the guy sitting at the big chair to learn that Claus (the orange haired kid)
has gone after Drago for revenge! Exit, then go right and up to find a cave.
Make sure you have rested in the spring and saved at the frog. Enter the
cave. You will notice you can see that well, because your in a dark cave. You
will have to find your way through. Go left, then up until you find a hole.
Jump down it by walking into it. Then go right, then down when you get the
chance too. Then go right a little bit, down, then go left. Don't forget to
get an item before going left! Then go left, use the vine. Then keep going up,
using all the vines you find until your outside. Then go upwards to enter yet
another cave. This time its lighter though. Save at the frog. Go up the ladder
and open the present for a Mega nut! Now up the last ladder to find, EVEN MORE
of those crazy pink guys. Again, they will run away, by jumping down to the
bottom of the floor. Chase them outside, damn it. They will get in their ship
and fly away AGAIN. Walk to the right, and then search the whole left and the
right side of the river. You will find some items, and a new weapon. You will
also fight some new enemies. Remember those birds are enemies as well! You
might notice your finding more and more of those 60HP nuts, so im not going to
call them mega nuts anymore. Now go up, and get to the next area by going up
on the left side. Then, save at the frog, and go right. You will then see one
of those small dinosaur things chewing at Claus' shoe. Pick it up, then
continue on. Be careful, the trees aren't what they seem, walk near them, and
they will chase after you! After getting past three trees, you will find a big
rock. Are you ready? Because behind that rock, is Mech Drago! Before you DO go
and fight it, make sure you remember the japanese letters for the Drago fang,
which is that sword-like thing in your inventory. Draw it down, or if your
using the ROM, at least take a screen shot, or just remember where it is in
your inventory. Once the battle begins, don't try to attack it. You will only
do 1 damage to it each time. You will know you have the right item because it
will highlight Mech Drago. Either way, use it on him so you can weaken him and
attack him normally. Having Alec in your party helps, as when your HP goes to
about 20 or so, he will heal about 20 or so HP back, so you have a chance to
use an healing item. This boos does about 25 or so damage normally, and about
40 when using his stronger attacks. He can lower some of your stats (although
I don't know which ones) and thats about it. As long as you are good at combos
you will beat this boss fast. Also remember using your SMAAAAAAAASH ability,
which is the top right one on the abilities. If it doesn't miss, its a
SMAAAAAAAAASH hit! All I can say is make sure your high on HP so if he does do
a deadly attack your ready for it! I think that Alec will stop healing you
after awhile, or its just some item I have, i'm not too sure. If you do do a
SMAAAAAAAAASH attack im not sure how much damage it will do, I did about 147
damage when I did a SMAAAAAAAAASH attack. Remember, this is the last battle of
the chapter, so its OK to use up your items. When you beat him, he will do
some kind of super move, which did about 280 odd damage. Once you have beaten
the boss, and survived his powerful attack, you will see him collapse. Then a
small dino will come and start licking him. The screen will soon pan to the
right and you will see Claus. Some japanese text comes up the screen. You will
then get the chance to save your game, do so. You will then see Flint talking
to someone. Then he leaves. The screen goes black, and some japanese comes up
on the screen, with a 2 in the middle of it. This indicates your on Chapter 2,
well done!
CHAPTER 2 - THIEF ADVENTURE
First you will see two people talking to each other. Your now controlling
Duster, the thief. Go down stairs and collect all six items, and rest at the
bed if you want, although im sure you won't need healing now. Walk to the left
then go up, so your behind the house. Press the A button to find some bombs!
Check every so often to find more. Now go downwards, left across the bridge
and into town. Then go upwards, you will bump into a mysterious man. Hmmmm, go
up abit more, and talk to Butch. Then go upwards again, into the big
crossroads. You will see the castle, which is where you headed, and a big air
ship drop something out of it. Continue forwards into the graveyard. Go abit
more forwards, and you will be attack by zombies that come out of the ground!
Kill all four of them, and carry on. Keep going until your at the castle
entrance. Damn, the drawbridge is up. Go back, and go inside the graveyard
cabin. Go down the stairs, and save at the frog. Then, collect the two items
and push the bookcase by walking into it from the right. Enter into the secret
passage. Once inside, head on through it. The enemies inside aren't very hard
to beat, as you usually only fight one of them at a time. Once your out of the
cave, talk to the guy hoeing the field. Then, go upwards, and press the A
button just in front of the slightly lighter grey area of the wall. Duster
will then build a ladder. Go to the left, and enter the castle. Save at the
frog if you wish so, and go to the right to find a big statue holding a giant
ball. Whoa, freaky, that paintings eyes follow you. Anyways, run into the
statue from the left, and the ball will fall onto the crack, making an hole.
If you want an item, go through the door to the left of that creepy painting.
Be careful, there's ghosts inside there. Once your done, jump down the hole.
Open the present, to get a ghost do something to you. After doing that, go to
the right, and down the stairs. Open the present if you want, and go left into
the main hall. Unlock the front door by pressing the A button at it. Then go
into the room to the left. It has a hot spring, so use it. It also has a frog,
so save the game. Now continue, by going upwards in the main hall. Here, go
strait ahead, fighting the two ghosts that appear. In the next room, talk to
the ghost to get the Rope Snake. You will need this later. Going into the room
to the right is abit pointless, unless you want some items. Go through to the
left, and go up the stairs. You will appear in a room with loads of suits of
armours at either side of the hall. Go through the door at the far end, and
dont worry about the ghosts, they won't attack you. Find the part of the wall,
behind the table that is a slightly darker grey then the normal wall, and then
press the A button, to build yet another ladder. At the top, the ghost will
give you beef jerky if you give him rotten eclairs, so get lots! Then press
the A button at the gap. Press it again, to swing across the gap, as long as
you have that Rope Snake. If not, go back and get it! Walk to the left, and
talk to the ghost. He claims he is guarding this room because it has a super
strong ghost in it. You don't have to fight it though. If you do, go left and
save at the frog. Come back, go in and beat the ghost to get a better weapon.
After you have it, go back to the frog and go up the stairs. Pick up the item
and carry on. Those rocking horses are quite strong, fight them if you want to
do so. Anyways, continue on to the other room. Go to the room at the far end,
and you will find a conducter ghost. Make sure you have LOTS of beef jerky,
it helps lots. This boss is extremely difficult, and I think he can combo you
too. Bombs are also good. Don't try to enter any of the doors before this door
as they all hold a door monster. Talk to the conducter, and select the right
choice to start battle. OK, he will normally just attack you once, doing about
30 odd damage. He will also do a 2-3 hit combo, dealing about 18 or so damage
each time. You will do about 30 damage to him, try to get high combos. Also,
bombs do about 85 damage to him. Make sure you heal yourself alot, and keep
pounding away. Eventually, you will beat him. Congratulations if you do so!
When you have, go through the door, and collect the jar. Go back into the boss
room, and press the A button when your standing in front of the fire place.
You can use this to get you back to the frog room, so heal yourself with the
spring, and save at the frog. Then exit the castle through the front door, and
talk to the man thats standing in front of your exit. He will give you the
drawbridge key, so now you can get out.
Return all the way back to Wess, which is where you started. Wess will be
really angry, you got the wrong item! Looks like your going to have to go
back to the Castle and get the right one! On your way back, you will see a
cut-scene showing you the pig army invading the castle! Once you get to the
castle, go inside, and fight the monster the pigs turn on. OK, this counts as
another boss I guess, because its quite hard. His attacks are strong, doing up
to about 40 or so damage. He will also do a really annoying attack on you. He
seems to fall on you, doing 75-90 damage. After he does it though, he will be
stuck on the ground for abit before he gets back up to fight again. Once you
do beat him (the bombs aren't that effective) go to the left, use the spring
and save your game. Now you have beaten that boss, and saved your game, go all
the way back to the room you found the jar in. Wess will open the way forward!
After his little dance, save at the frog and leave to the right. After the big
talking scene, you will get to name the pink haired girl. Her name is Kumatora
but it doesn't fit in. Anyways, after she joins you, take note of her PSI
abilities. If you have played Mother 1 or 2, you will know what PSI is. It's
more or less your magic. Anyways, carry on. Use the rope snake to get across
the gap. Keep following the path, and go across the next gap. In the present
is the first item that will restore PP. Continue to the left. Go across the
next gap, and avoid the brooms. As soon as your touched, your transported back
to that bin you might of saw earlier. Or in other words, the room just after
the room you got the jar in. Go to the right, and save your game. Then, in the
next room, collect the peice of pie at the end of the room. Then go through
the door in the middle of the room. In here, walk to that shiny object. After
a REALLY LONG conversation, you will fall through a hole. So thats what all
those gaps are for. Once at the bottom, you will have to fight a giant snake.
It's not that tough. Use Kumatoras second PSI ability, it does more damage
then the first one. Get Duster to use the middle right ability, it will some
times stop the snake from attacking. Once in awhile the snake will use some
sort of tidal wave ability. After that attack, it will be more in water, and
your attacks will be weaker. I did a SMAAAAAAAASH and it did 2 damage.
Kumatora will most probably die, but don't worry, she did with me. Once the
snake has used its tidal wave ability, it seems to want to do it more. Bombs
are effective against it, and some times 150 odd damage will be inflicted onto
it. Once you beat it, your sucked up in a whirlpool and wash up on the side of
a river. You will wake up in your house, and you will gain control of Kumatora
so go outside. Go across the bridge to the left, and into town. After some
talking, some text will scroll up the screen. You will get the chance to save
your game before continuing. You will start chapter 3 after the scene.
CHAPTER 3 - THE SUSPICOUS TRAVELING MERCHANT
As you start, you can name the monkey. It's name is Sarusa, and it fits in if
you put it in as english. Afterwards, you will have to dance for that guy.
Depending on what way he points depends on what directional button you must
press. So if he points to the right, press the right directional button. It's
pretty simple. After they have all left, go to the barrel and press the A
button to find a frog so you can save your game. Now go to the left. Here, to
the left is an oasis, I think it restores your HP, although im not sure. Go
downwards, through the only path you can go. In the next area, go down, the
go to the left. If you go up, you can find an enemy in a sand pit thingy. I
don't know what happens if you beat it though. Anyways, here go left then up.
You will find your self at a house, with a dog in front of it. Go into battle
with the dog. It's your first boss in this chapter, already! Anyways, its not
that tough. You should use any bombs you have, and otherwise heal yourself.
Attacking him is pointless, as you only do 1 damage. You will have to rely on
that guys attacks, and he will use bombs sometimes. Otherwise, constantly use
your healing items, until you have finally beaten him. Go inside the building,
and keep moving down. Save at the frog, and collect all of the presents. Then,
go in front of the roundy pink thing and press the A button to get in. Go
through the left tunnel, as the right one leads to a dead end. Once your at
the other side, press the B button to get out when the vehicle is above that P
sign. Then, go up the ladder. To beat the enemies, you should have a bomb that
will attack all three. Just use that. Climb out, and your at the graveyard
from the last two chapters.
You should go to Yado. Talk to the person at the
counter, then go into the middle room. At night time, save your game. Then go
outside, and to the left. Watch the cut-scene, and walk out to him. Dance for
him. You will get a flashback to when you was taken away by the man, then you
will be zapped and woken up. Head on outside, and you will have to do a dance
like before. Once you have finished dancing, talk to all the people that put
their hands up. Then talk to Yokuba again (your master). Then do some more
dance moves, and you will be back inside YADO. Now go to the graveyard, see
those pink boxes? You have to deliver them to people. Talk to the man standing
in front of the grave, to get the places marked on your map. Pick up a box,
and deliver them to the different places. The first one you should go to is
the one in town. So head there, and go inside the first building on the left.
Talk to the man to the right. After that, go back and get another box. Next,
go back to town, to the right then down. Talk to the person just outside of
the building. Now, go back and get another box. Go to the crossroads (if you
go to the right, and enter the cave you will find presents galore) and go left
into the forest. Now, go to that building thats next to the spring. Talk to
the man inside, and thats it. You have delivered all the boxes. Once you have
done that, go back to YADO. Talk to Yokuba, then head to the castle after
saving your game. Once in the castle, go forwards, Yokuba will shout at the
two pig warrior thingys. Then, try to leave. Yokuba will be called on his
mobile phone. Go up, and go through the door to the right, and down the ladder
into an area you might not of been to as Duster. If you did come down here,
there was nothing but enemies anyways. Go down, and into the next room. Here,
look at the three panel things on the wall, and go up to the door. Press left
on the directional pad, and after dancing, the door will open. Go through, and
save at the frog. Go down the ladder. Go to the right, and down the stairs.
The door is locked, so go down the ladder, and to the left. Use the lever. OK,
now its time to go back to YADO. When you reach there, go to the top right of
the room, to be rescued by Kumatora and Wess. Damn, it seems that Yokuba is
following you! From the crossroads, run to the left, and through the forest.
Don't forget to save at the frog and heal yourself at the spring. Then try to
continue through the forest. Your way is blocked off by tanks, go back, and
you will be trapped. You have no choice but to fight the tank. Before fighting
it though, I recommend that you get a particular PSI ability. To get it, just
keep walking around, until you get a message about Kumatora. Then, walk around
again, and she will learn a new PSI ability. Hopefully, you will learn an
ability, that is electrical. It does about 109 damage. It is also helpful if
she has a healing PSI ability. You can tell because its in the middle section.
When fighting it, it will do about 30 or so damage. Keep attacking it with
strong PSI abilitys, and make Sarusa heal himself. Eventually, the tank will
start to shake, then a pig will be revealed inside. I think the only attack he
does is some weak one, doing 20 damage at the most. Just keep pounding away,
and remember the old guy will help too! Once you beat it, as the other bosses
do, it goes white, before disappearing. Your surely doomed, but then you will
be saved. Then the japanese text will scroll up the screen. This means the
end of the chapter. After saving, and the last cut-scene, you will move onto
chapter 4. Well done.
CHAPTER 4 - THE CHICHIBOO THEATER
When Lucas wakes up, try to go outside, then check the mirror on the wall. Now
you can go outside. Boney will then join you. The frog will introduce that the
game does have money after all. I think it's called DP or something. When you
get to the choice, select the right option. The left makes him talk about DP
again. Whenever you talk to a frog, you get a choice of saving or DP. You can
tell which one is DP, because it has DP in it. Go into town, whoa. It's been,
modernized. Head other to Hinawas grave, by going through the train station
(it was the crossroads section) and through the graveyard, going to the top
right of this area to leave and find the grave. Talk to Flint, then press the
A button in front of the grave. Now head back to the Train Station, and go
onto the platform, as if you was bording a train, and you will get a cut-scene
of two people talking. After this, head back into town. You will get an yet
another cut-scene. Now head to the old mans house. Whoa, this is crap. This
place has been transformed into some kind of old peoples home, and the state
of the rooms is appauling. But what do we care? Go upstairs, and go into the
middle room and talk to Wess. Now head back to the railroad. Try walking to
the right tunnel, to be stopped by someone. They will give you something. Now
you can enter the tunnel. Keep walking down it, until your outside something
like the second time. The dog will sniff out someones clothes. Go up the
ladder to find the hotspring, with some inside it, naked. They will talk to
Lucas, and you can learn PSI. After abit of talking, Lucas will learn PSI. Yay
you have PSI abilities, to make the game abit more easier. Keep going, and
press the R shoulder button to see how long left, the guy gave you a Railroad
map. Once at the end, collect the items, and save at the frog after going up
to a new area. Go to the right, to find an item. Now, go inside the building
to the left of that frog. Then, talk to the Pig guy. Select the left option to
get a job. The dog will then be taken away, to do some exercise. Now, go up,
then up and then down that ladder. Here, you will have to find a Clay monster
that isn't quite fully charged. Talking to them, they will make a noise. This
noise, and their body stance will tell you if they need recharging. Find the
noise they usually make, and then find one that doesn't make that noise. That
will be the one you will need to push all the way back to the start, so they
can be recharged. Place it in the white square, then talk to the pig. He will
call the lift and push it in. Now, take it to the recharging room, which is
the second one. Now, he will be recharged. Do this two more times, then talk
to the pig that gave you the job. He will give you a ticket. He will also give
you 200DP I think. Go back outside, and talk to the frog. Save your game, if
you want to, then head upwards towards the ropeway. Talk to the man infront of
the door, to go in. Don't forget to collect the present to the right of him.
Once your at the top, go to the right, and enter the theater. Once inside, go
into the next room, then talk to everyone. Remember the two girls sitting with
the big person (or pig, i'm not sure) and then walk to the table down at the
bottom of the room. Then the concert will start, watch DCMC. After that, exit
the room and talk to the red haired waitress, who is Kamutora. Follow her, and
go through the cave, into her room. Try to go through the door at the top of
the room, and she will come out. Go in, and heal your self if needed inside
the hot tub. Then, talk to the frog to save, and then go up the ladder.
Now make your way through the attic, until your at another save room. Fully
explore the attic, and train up if your a low level. Make sure your about
level 30 or so before attempting the boss. Once you find a bass guitar, talk
to it to start the battle. This is quite hard, if your a low level. Also try
to get some more PSI moves to make this battle easier. The bass guitar will
call for help, getting an Electric guitar and a drum to help him. Defeat these
enemies first, before going for the bass. Make the dog use bombs, and have
Lucas use his PSI special. The special will attack all three enemies, doing
about 110 or so damage. The enemies do about 4 or so attacks, doing about 40
each time. This will go down to 2 attacks after defeating the electric guitar
and drum. Whenever your PP is low, heal with an item that restores PP, it's
usually food. He does about 40 or so damage each hit. Boney will most probably
die. After you win, jump down the hole, and talk to the guy in the middle with
the big hair, he looks alot like Duster. You will then have to play rock-paper
-scissors. It's not that hard, to play, press the directional button in which
the hand is. So if it's to the left, press left. The hands posistion tells
whether it's rock paper or scissors. Beat all the DCMC members. I think on the
last one you have to choose scissors or something. If not, then it did with
me. Once you have beat them all, Duster will join. Go outside, and Kumatora
will then join. Try to go outside, by going right, down, left, then down in
the middle. Then the usual japanese text will scroll up the screen. After that
is done, save your game, and its onto Chapter 5!
CHAPTER 5 - THE TOWER OF THUNDER
Head forwards, and enter the cave, go into the hot spring and save. You can go
and buy something from the mole if you want, remember to get more money out of
the frog first. You get more money by fighting monsters. This part is quite
easy with four party members. Either way, head outside the cave, and carry on
going up. Then go right, into the next area. Here, you have to find the right
hole to go down. Go to the bottom, then to the left. It's the bottom left one,
to be specific. Then, keep going around to the frog, and save if you want to.
There's also a mole here. Now go down, to exit the cave. Don't go down the
hole because I think there's nothing there. But a cut-scene stops you first
anyways. After the hyper battered clay monster runs away, go to the right, and
into the next area. Here, you will see the top of the tower, and a really big
gun on the top of it. Now, go to the right, and walk on the browny path, as
you can walk behind the tower. Walk to the right, then down and then left to
collect the two items. Go down from here. In the next area, go down, then to
the right and save your game at the frog. Go inside the building to watch a
cut-scene. Now exit, to see that blue claymonster be chucked into a truck! You
have to chase after it, so keep going to the left a couple of times, until you
find a pork bean, one of those pink flying things from Chapter 3. After you
have crashed, (it does it automatically), a pig thing will talk to you. He
will then realise who you are, and you will go into a boss battle with him.
This boss is abit tougher, as you have four party members now. Make Lucas use
his PK Special, make Duster use his offence abilities, and also try to make it
so the boss can't attack for a couple of turns. Make sure you don't use
Kumatora's lightning PSI ability, I think it's useless, because when I used it
it did nothing. Then make the dog be a back up, for healing and then just
using any bombs he might have. Yet again, the dog might die, and make sure
Lucas knows the Healing PSI, which heals 126 damage. The boss can damage for
130 HP! Lucas' special does about 140 damage (with me), and the dog only does
12, so don't attack with the dog! Kumatora should always cast PSI, and make
Duster use his stat effecting abilities. Kumatora' ice PSI does about 60 or so
damage, her fire does 90, so use that. Keep using Dusters bottom left ability
on the boss, that puts his offence down. The boss can also raise his offence,
so be careful about that! Eventually, you won't be able to lower his offence
anymore, but whenever he raises it, you should know what to do! Sometimes, he
will heal himself for 160HP, so be careful about that! If Lucas runs out of
PP, and you have no PP healing items, make sure you have alot of HP healing
items at the ready! Kumatora has alot of PP, so it will take her longer to run
out of it. When they do, and you can't restore any, just keep bashing away at
the boss to hopefully deal lot's of damage to it, and try to master the combo
system too, even though it's extremely hard, and even I can't do it well.
Keep trying, and eventually you will win! You will get something like 1428EXP
after winning, so I can just about say that all, or most of your characters
that are still alive will level up!
After the battle, the guy will skip away, so get into the pork bean and go to
the north. Then go to the right, then north again. Eventually, when your on a
big bridge, the pork bean will break down. You can park it before that if you
want to. You will have to go the rest of the way on foot! Now, in the next
area go to the right, and down. It seems that the road blocks are actually
enemies. This game get's weirder and weirder all the time. Go down abit more,
and get past the next set of road blocks. Then, you will get a glimpse of that
truck driving away. Remember that that little black pod thing will fully heal
your characters HP, PP and status alignments. Heal here, and then save at the
frog below, its in a little red vehicle. Now head into the tunnel that the
truck went through. Here, keep going to the right. If you go down, there's a
room filled with presents, but the guy will tell you to get off them when you
try to open them, I think. He might say something else, i'm not sure! Then,
keep going to the right. Be careful of that rhino torpedo thing, it's a strong
monster! Outside, you will see that blue and old clay monster being dumped
into, well, a dump. Make sure your fully healed, no status alignments, and
have recently saved your game. Then, climb down the ladder, to fight another
boss. This boss is just like the last one you fought. Dusters ability to stop
the enemy for a couple of turns is extremely useful, so use it alot. Again,
Kumatoras thunder PSI ability seems to be ineffective. So cast her PSI Fire
ability again. Lucas should always cast his PK special, duster should use his
special abilities, and Boney will act as a punching bag. I can almost assure
you that Boney will die in just about EVERY boss fight you have him for in the
game. Hopefully, by now, Kumatora should have some healing PSI, so she can be
the healing back up if Lucas runs out of HP. If anyone is need of a little
healing, just use Kumatora and concentrate on Lucas and his PK special. Things
can get abit tricky when the boss uses his shield ability. He seems to be able
to protect himself, so your attacks do less damage. Lucas should do about 150
with his PK special, Duster shouldn't really attack, but instead use his
abilities, Kumatora will do about 100 damage or so, and boney does about 1.
Boney is there to use if he has any bombs, just like before. This battle may
end like before, like it did for me, with Lucas and Kumatora the only ones
left. Boney will most probably die first, Duster following. Lucas will, and
should, be the strongest damage dealing character, with physical attacks, so
when he runs out of PP, you know what to do. I don't know if it does it all of
the time, but once he healed himself for 378HP! That is a large amount, with
the amount of damage you do. Kumatora's ice PSI is just as effective as the
fire PSI I think. If it is, use the ice, as it costs less PP, unless you can
calculate whether its better to not do ice and fire instead. Sorry if that
last sentence didn't make sense, I wansn't quite sure what I was writing then.
Anyways, like before, keep trying and eventually you will win! You will get
2534EXP for this battle, and I don't think it was that much harder then the
last battle!
After winning, you will get that red shiny object you got in the castle in
Chapter 2 back! After some talking, a pig will come, and make you get into the
pork bean. Once inside, it will automatically go to somewhere. When your off
of it, go up, and onto the lift. It will then start to go up. After a while
you will eventually reach the top! Go to the left, and collect the present.
After, heal at the black pod thing, and go save at the frog. Now keep going
until your at a big generator room. Then go left from here, then go down in
the next area. Here, save at the frog, and go to the right and up the ladder.
Whoa, it's that big pig thing AGAIN. You will have to fight him, AGAIN. This
time he is blue though. Make Lucas cast his PK special, as usual. Make Duster
use his abilities, as usual. Kumatora should cast Fire PSI, as Ice and thunder
do the same amount of damage I think. Of course, we all know what the dog is
going to be used for. To either use any pencil rockets, bombs or salt-water
guns. And of course, don't waste any time on healing him, as he has no good
abilities and is very weak when attacking physically. The boss will more or
less do what he did last time. If you make the dog attack, he will only do 1
damage, so unless you can get like, a 5000 combo, or a combo equal to how much
HP the boss has, then the dog is pretty crap. I would rather have Flint in the
team then Boney. Using the same tactics as the last two battles we have had,
and your characters being a high enough level (about level 30-35 or so, or if
your really good lvl 20). Having level 30-35 characters is the easy way, as to
be honest, my characters were level 20 at this fight. Keep healing, and always
remember, that there is still hope of saving your character from dying, as
long as you can heal in time, just make sure that HP meter doesn't go down to
0! More or less, every turn will consist of Lucas doing his PK special, Duster
using the lower offence, or that ladder thing, and Kumatora doing her fire PSI
ability. Boney, will be using bombs, and such items, healing the party as back
up with healing items, or will be dead. This boss battle is a little bit more
of a battle then last time. As soon as you see the boss glow white, you will
be happy. You will be for any boss really. This one most probably has a little
bit more HP then the last one, and is abit stronger. He can attack two people/
dog at once, doing about 115 damage to each of them. Having ALOT of healing
items is essential for ANY boss battle. Remember it doesn't matter much if
Duster dies, unless he is exceptionally strong and can do 100 or so damage in
an attack. I am guessing though, that Lucas will most probably do more damage
to the boss then the others. If both Lucas and Kumatora lose all of their PP,
then try to do the combos with Lucas, and concentrate more with him then
Kumatora as Lucas is the stronger fighter. All though if your characters do
lose their PP, this battle might be hard unless you have PP healing items.
When I fought this boss, Lucas only did a dismal 8 damage. If things get abit
too tough, don't forget your DCMC weapons, if you have any. Use them in the
battle, I think they freeze the monster for abit. I think, when the boss goes
all red for a couple of seconds, means he is stronger. He seemed to be able to
hit 120 or something like that, or maybe 150. Here's one thing I learned after
beating this boss. Even though a combo does, I don't know, an extra 3 or so
damage, it sure can be useful. I wouldn't of beaten this boss if I hadn't of
done that combo in time. You will get rewarded 3286EXP this boss fight! The
numbers just keep getting higer and higher. It also seems this boss does NOT
heal himself.
It's now time to climb the tower. After your characters climb up
the ladder and talk, move on, going up the tower. Then, eventually you will
reach the top! Here, there is a hot spring, so naturally you will most
probably want to use it! Also don't forget to collect all three items from the
presents. Be careful though, the top one is actually a monster. Save at the
frog, thats flying with the aid of a baloon to save your game, as usual. There
is also a juke box, and when you use it, it will start to play the music from
Earthbound whenever you was in a Drugstore/shop. It's pretty cool. If you look
at that machine to the left of the ladder, that girl thing will attack you.
She is more or less an optional boss, and just for fun. You can beat her for
some extra EXP if your low on levels. Once your fully rested, and have saved
your game, head up the ladder. Once at the top, go right, and be careful as
the electric thing in the middle spits out little yellow balls, which attack
you! Then climb up the ladder to the right. Go left, and when you reach the
end of the circle, Lucas is zapped as it seems. He will learn PK Flash. Go to
the left, and up the ladder. Go to the right, and save at the frog. Go up the
ladder, and go inside the tower. Here, walk to the left, and try to exit the
room. A robot thing will attack you. Yep, it's ANOTHER bloody boss. This
chapter is a pain in the ass for damn bosses! This boss is quite hardish.
For starters, whenever you attack pyhsically, the boss will attack back at you
so avoid that. You should get Lucas to PK special, as usual, and make Duster
lower their offence, defence, use that ladder thing on them and so on and so
forth. Make Kumatora use PK Freeze (her ice ability) and make boney, well, die
/use items/be bait/heal party members. Using Kumatoras PK Freeze does a
whopping 150 damage or so. Fire does 5, and lightning just doesn't do anything
really. I'm not sure what PK Flash does, the boss just goes purple, and I
think it might disable him for a couple of turns. His attacks consist of
counter attacks, and attacking two party members at a time for 85 damage. PK
special does about 130 damage. Really, use the same tactics for the last three
bosses we have just fought. A deadly move this boss hides, is where he will
hurt all four of your fighters, doing about 140 or so damage to EACH one!
After that, if you survive, he will look different, meaning every turn he will
heal himself 100HP. Eventually, he will go back to normal, meaning you can't
do more damage then him. Eventually you will beat him, of course you will. He
isn't THAT hard, but harder then the last couple of bosses. You get 4389EXP
for beating him. After the cut-scene, you will be outside. That guy sure likes
bananas. Your nearly there, climb up the ladder. Go up to that big gun, and I
don't quite know if you have to press the A button in front of it, but that
guy will come after you! After the cut-scene, the japanese text starts to
scroll up the screen. You will then get the chance to save it, before going
onto Chapter 6.
CHAPTER 6 - FIELD OF SUNFLOWERS
You will gain control of Lucas, in a big yellow sun flower field. Anyways,
start to walk to the left of the screen, and a couple of cut-scenes start to
appear. Keep walking, and you will find your dog Boney, and will also see your
mother. Keep following her, and you will get to a cliff edge. Walk off the
cliff. You will then fall off, but land on something. Thats it, your on to the
next Chapter already.
CHAPTER 7 - THE SEVEN NEEDLES
Well, we are not far from the end yet. Just Chapter 7 and 8 to go. You will
wake up in that old peoples home place. Try to leave the room, and Alec will
then talk to you. Leave the room, you will talk again. Now leave this building
and go down to the bridge. Talk to that guy thing tied up in ropes, he will
then join your party. Their name is Ionia. Now walk off the bridge to the
right, and go down, and talk to the man standing next to the boat. He will
then take you up the river. This will take you back up to the place where you
were as Flint, with the frogs that help you across the river. You would then
of found the cave, and gone through to find Claus. Anyways, go right and into
Aeolia' house. You can save at the frog if you want to do so. Then, talk to
Aeolia, (the frog is outside). After that, talk to Ionia. Then, go to where
Aeolia was sitting to get something. It will fully revive you when your HP
is 0. The table in the middle of the room will move, so go down the ladder.
Here go down, right then down, then left and down into the next area. Here,
make your way through, it's a strict path. The enemies are fairly easy, and
won't do much harm. Eventually, you will reach the ladder, so climb up to find
yourself at the castle. Walk to the right, and a cut-scene will start. You
will then see a picture of nowhere island, or whatever its called, I don't
remember. Some japanese text, ALOT of it, will scroll up the screen before it
lets you continue on your adventure. Go right, and save at the frog. Then,
sooner or later the phone thing will start to ring, its the black thing on the
floor below the frog. Answer it, then talk to Ionia. He will, like, fly away
or something, im not sure. He just turns paper thin and flys really. Go down
the right ladder. In the next area, you will recognize it. You were here as
the monkey in Chapter 3! Go up the stairs to the left, and you can go right to
find a present. Either way, go left and climb up the ladder. Walk out of this
circular room, and the head thing will close, looks like it closed on Boney.
But don't worry, he is still with you. Walk to the left, and go through the
door. Here, go to the ladder. Then exit this room, and then go down in this
big hallway. Leave the castle hall, going outside. Go across the bridge, and
into the next area. Your then taken to your mothers grave. You will get the
grimy courage badge. Now head to the train station area. Someone will then
phone you. Anyways, head onto the platform, and talk to the guy in black. It
will cost you 200DP to take the train to Corva. It's not that much, so go.
It's alot faster then walking. Now, go up and save at the frog. Go to the rope
way, but don't use it. Go to the left, and then go left again. You will then
appear at a big building. Talk to the pig in front of the door here. Go inside
the building. Then go right, and then onto the stage to go right. You will
find some lockers. Check the middle locker, with the A button as usual, to
find some uinforms. Put them on. Now go right, then left. Go through the door
into a hallway, where a pig will tell you to catch some escaped monkeys. Go
all the way to the left, and then go up when you reach a room which looks like
a small museum of fossils. Go up here, then up again until your in a room with
specimens in it. Try to get them, and they will run away. Go back, then back
again and you will be attacked by a robotic Lion thing. This boss is hardish.
It will do about 100 or so damage for an average attack against your character
it attacks. Make Lucas use his PK special, and make Boney use bombs and the
like, as he most probably inflicts 1 damage, unless you sat there for hours
training him up. PK Special does about 140 or so damage. Don't worry if you
don't beat this boss, if you win or lose, the story will advance, so you don't
have to beat this boss. He also has some PK Fire attack, which does about 45
or so damage. When he SMAAAAAASH attacks you, it does about 144 damage. Make
Lucas constantly heal himself if you want to win. The boss can also poison you
so be careful of that too. If Lucas runs out of PP, he will most probably do
about 30-40 damage, at least mine did. It depends on what weapons he has
really, and what lvl he is. This boss doesn't have that much HP though, i'm
guessing about 900 or so, because I used PK Special on him 6 or so times, then
moved on to attacking, doing 33 damage each time. If you do win, you will get
4560EXP! Then, a claymonster will bash it up. After talking, save at the frog,
which is acting like a fossil.
Now leave the room to the right. Something will shake the place. Your still
looking for the monkeys though. Go down, and this is the VERY hard part. You
see that big pinky red thing to the left? well, you can't fight it. As soon
as you touch it, it eats you. And you get gameover. Seriously. So go down to
the bottom of the hall, and when it sees you, it should charge at you. So try
to quicly move to the left to avoid it, and into the next room. Here, talk to
the guy at the lift. Well, he's a blue pig. Anyways, he will go away, so take
the lift to B1. Then, move through the rooms, at the end the monkeys are there
hiding away. They will, naturally run away, AGAIN. So head back to the lift,
and go up. Here, go back into the hallway. Remember, that the escaped monster
randomly appears in different places, so avoid it whenever. Anyways, you will
see the monkeys, run away again. Talk to the good doctor hiding in the bin.
Then go to the far right. You will find the monkeys, and a cut-scene will then
start. Sarusa will then join you! Go right, and then up to find the other
monkey, in front of a door. Make Sarusa get into position, and then press the
left or right buttons on the Directional pad to open the door! It doesn't
really matter which one you press though. In the next area, go up and go into
the house. Talk to Kumatora/Doria, and then they will head outside. Go outside
and then head back to the lab. There is a frog here to save your game if you
need it, and don't mistake the pool on the left for a hotsping! Talk to Doria
before going back. At the entrance, you will see the doctor standing outside
so talk to him. He will give you a choice of monster. Choose that red and
yellow one, and it will start to suck up the water, and fill up the other
pool. Now, head into the left pool to collect the golden needle. After ALOT of
talking, Kumatora will join you, Sarusa will leave.
Go to the right, and beat up the monster that attacks you, it's extremely easy
so don't think its even a boss. Try to leave to the right, and a mole cricket
thing will talk to you. You will automatically follow it. It will open up some
kind of hole in the ground. Save at the frog, and watch the sparks fly by
opening the present. Head down into the small hole. In here, go up then to the
right, and then up and talk to the cricket thing. Fight it, even Boney can
kill this in one hit. Then, after some talking, go down. If you climb down the
vine, it leads to a hot spring. Go to the bottom right honey cone/half lemon
thing, and some things will eat it up. Go down the vine. At this point, im not
so sure where you go exactly. All I do know, is that your in a VERY big maze.
Keep looking around, until you find the exit. You can tell the exit because
you will go through a arch into another area. Here, keep going up, and you
will soon appear outside, where it is snowy. Head upwards, killing the yeti's
on wooden snow boards, and the ice wolves. Eventually, you will be at the top
of the mountain. It all involves you walking up some hills, thats it, so it's
not tricky to do so yourself. You will find a frog, and a hot spring. Heal as
there is soon to be a very tricky boss battle. Then save at the frog, and at
the top you will find a guys house. Yes, I think he's gay. Anyways, talk to
him then go inside his house. Talk to Lydia again (the man) and then go
through his back door. A cut-scene will follow, and I think thats Claus flying
away with some metal bat wings. Anyways, you will have to fight a giant grey
monster thing. This is the boss. OK, make Lucas use PK Special, and then make
Kumatora use PK thunder. Ice does about 40 damage, fire about 10 or something
(it's weaker then ice) and Thunder does 140 damage. Make boney use bombs, and
other items that hurt bosses, until he dies, unless he can do ALOT of damage
when attacking, don't bother healing him. Concentrate on keeping Lucas and
Kumatora alive. PK special does about 150 or so damage. The boss, well he does
quite abit of damage. I think his weakest attack does 120 or so damage. Yeah,
his WEAKEST attack. Bloody hell. At some point, he will go all white. After
this, I think he will attack both of your characters. Dealing 230 or so damage
so try to heal instantly. It would then seem that he does alot damage after
this, he once did 333 to Kumatora. Looks like we are in for some serious pain.
So make sure your a HIGH, a VERY HIGH level for this battle. Hopefully, Lucas
will of learned his PK Special B. To tell, look if you have two PSI abilties
that are identical, but with a B at the end. Use this, it takes up 20PP though
so it may drain it. Using this will do 225 or so damage. It's really good.
Make sure you have this! If you run out of PP, then thats bad luck. It will
be extremely hard to beat this boss using physical attacks. As long as you
have some PP restoring items with you, this is going to be ALOT harder. Keep
on attacking it though, and healing instantly, as he will do 217 damage each
attack. Luckily, the reward is 9432EXP! That is over double the amount we got
for the last boss we beat, im sure! I am guessing this boss has just over 1000
HP or so, maybe 1500. I'm not quite sure, and im only guessing from what I
know. Once you beat this boss, well done!!!
Try to walk back into the house, and Lydia will come out. He will, also
dissapear like all the other ones. He will tell you to carry on, most probably
but we have something to do first. Go through the house, and rest at the hot
spring. Then save at the frog. Now, go back through the house, and into the
next area. Choose the left option, and they will climb up the mountain, and
then use a fridge to slide down it, and through the sky. You will soon land in
the graveyard. Examine the jar, and you will go down a ladder that appears.
Hey, your here again! Looks like we might be going back to the desert. Anyways
go to the left, and save at the frog, then check the jar. You need to get to
the thunder tower area, so press the A button in front of that wooden table
thing, which appears to act like a horse. Keep going right, and you will find
yourself in an area you couldn't get to in Chapter 3, because the door was
closed. Keep following the road, and following it. This is a long journey.
Basically, you must head to that cafe place from before, then go through the
tunnel, and past the part that you found the calymonster at. Then, you will
evenually find some big trucks in the way of your wooden table horse. Press
the B button to get off, (make sure your not moving, or press B twice to stop
the wooden table horse, then to get off) so you can get past the trucks. Keep
walking down, and you will see something on the floor. Any Earthbound/Mother2
fans will notice who this is. Don't read on, if you don't want to know. To get
to the next place, just walk through the cave. OK, are you there yet! If not,
don't read on. Anyways, your at Saturn Valley! But there are pigs everywhere.
You must go into all the houses to rescue the Mr. Saturns. You will have to
fight two blue pigs, and a small robot. Get the robot last, as it can't do
anything to you. Some of the houses will have different enemies in them though
so some are easy and some are not. In one of them is Duster, and that rope
snake thing you have. Just keep using PK Special B, if you have it, then
retreat to PK Special A. Eventually, you will win the battle, and get about 5K
EXP or something like that. After this, go through a cave and you will appear
near a hot spring. Heal inside, then climb up the ladder. You will soon find
a place where Duster can make a ladder. But he can't reach it. Talk to the
Mr. Saturn to the left, and then loads of them will come to help. Once your at
the top, go up. Save at the frog, and go into Phrygia's house. Check that wood
sign, to read something. After, go outside, and go to the left. Talk to that
big rock blocking the way to make it move. Go up, and then you will find some
more rocks. Talk to the lowest one, then to the right one. Talk to the lowest
one again (by going underneath it) then talk to the only one on the left. They
should all be on the right now, so carry on. Here, head on forwards, and kill
the two blue pigs. Then, carry on into the cave. Here, keep going upwards, and
soon you will find another Gold needle. But, Yokuba is here! How the hell did
he survive that fall!? Anyways, you will have to go into battle with him. This
is quite hard. As usual, make Lucas use his PK Special B, if you don't have it
then you really should get it. Make Kumatora use PK Freeze B, if she has that.
If not, don't worry, 100 damage is still OK. Thunder doesn't do anything, and
Fire B only does 50 or so damage. Make Duster use his abilities to weaken the
boss, then Boney use bombs and the like. PK Special B does about 250 damage or
so to the boss. The boss can do about 200 damage to you. He can use bombs on
you too, doing about 120 damage to all of your characters. Sometimes, he will
heal himself for 500HP-600HP. When I was testing to see how many times he will
use this move, it seems he will only do it three times, possibly more im not
quite sure. Once you have won, you will get 11121EXP, which is ALOT.
Once you gain control, go up to the golden needle and press the A button.
Lucas will grab it, and then he will learn PK Special Y. Well done for beating
that boss. You will also get Phrygia's Memento if your inventory isn't full.
After this, head out of the cave. Now head through this area, and back to
Phrygia's house. Save at the frog, and go back to Saturn valley. Rest at the
hotspring, then try to leave. A pig will come along and destroy your exit! Go
over to the exit, and examine it with A. Head to the top right house of
Saturn valley, and talk to the Mr. Saturn in the middle. Now go outside, and
some Mr. Saturns should be lying on the floor with baloons attached to them.
If so, then go to the exit. Don't run, but instead walk, and try to catch a
bird, by pressing the A button next to them. Head back to the top right house
again, talking to the middle Mr. Saturn. Now head to the hot spring and talk
to the Mr. Saturn. After the japanese text has scrolled up the screen, get
out of the hot spring. Head through the cave, and as you exit you will notice
a big bird cage. Go over to it, and then select the left option to fly off!
And yes, that is Lucas's trousers nearly falling down. Anyways, you will end
up on a beach. Check the map if you want to see where you are. Now, walk over
to the water. Press the A button, it appears you can dive in. When in the
water, you will notice you have an air guage in the bottom left of the screen.
If this goes all the way down, you will wash up on shore again. To get some
air back, talk to those mermen. They will, well, give you air. Anyways, keep
going down, and down until you get a choice of left or right. I'm not sure
whats left, I went right. Anyways, when in the water the current will drag
you along, so you might start to move left then right alot. Once your in the
new area, get some air at the merman, then carry on. In the next area, the
merman to the right won't do anything, so carry on down, going right. To the
left is a dead end. Keep going down, fighting the enemies (the air guage won't
be effected when your in battle). After the pig enemy, get some air from the
merman to the right. Going down to the right will lead to a present, so get it
if you want, and get some more air before carrying on. Obviously go left now,
and keep going down. In the next area, soon you will find loads of holes with
ladders going down them. They all contain presents, but can be hard to get
because of your air. From here, go down and get some more air at the merman.
In the next area, keep going down, and you will find another merman. Get some
air, then go down. You will then be sucked up, and have to fight a boss. This
boss isn't that hard, not as hard as New Yokuba. Make Lucas use PK Special Y,
which costs 35PP, and then make Kumatora use PK Freeze, it seems to be the
most effective. Make Duster use his abilities, and make the dog use bombs,
attack then die. PK Special does a whopping 450 or so damage, PK Freeze does
about 80. The boss's attacks aren't that strong. He has an attack that hurts
all four of your party members at once, doing about 80-90 damage. That's
actually just about the only attack I have seen him do. He will sometimes
attack a character twice to deal 80 damage each time, but after beating New
Yokuba, this should be no problem, right? He can also put you to sleep
sometimes. Eventually, he will use a big wave attack against you, doing
something along the lines of 600 or so damage. Don't panic, he always does
this attack, and you don't have to survive. Even if you do survive (most
probably a cheater the) you will still be washed up on a beach, which also
happens if you die.
Hey, your at your destination! That was good! But hang on a minute, your HP is
at 1, and you have lost all your items, apart from equipped ones and key items
in your inventory. Go downwards, and eat those purple mushrooms. And, oh crap.
Wasn't Lucas taught about Magic Mushrooms? Seems him and the gang are all
stoned now, and everything is crazy! Hey, at least your HP and PP are full!
Anyways, go right, and talk to Flint, if you want a battle with a big mouth
and some eyes. Anyways, you can't go past Flint. In the next area, you will
see that old grandad guy, I forgot his name. Anyways, choose the left option
to avoid battle with him. Go right, and you will find Claus. Again, he will
automatically talk to you. It doesn't matter which option you pick, you will
always have to fight him. Choose the right option, you will start the battle
normally. Choosing the left option makes the enemy have the advantage. When
fighting enemies, you will have to deal some damage to them, and when their HP
is low, their true form is revealed. This doesn't mean they have their HP
fully restored though. Keep following the path. The people will run up to you
and you will be automatically in a battle with them. You can run away from
most of them anyways. When you see a sign post, go to the left. Ah, a lovely
hotspring! Go inside, and hang on. This is toxic waste (I think)! So go left
and through the door to the real hotspring. Eventually, you will find a ladder
so climb up it. At the very top, you will see Mixolydia's house. Save at the
frog thats flying, then enter Mixolydia's house. Talk to the woman, and she
will hit you over the head with a stick, and then hit Kumatora and Duster too.
You will come to your senses, and she appears to be another one of those weird
crossdresser. After some talking, talk to that giant octopus to get all of
your items back, as long as Lucas's inventory isn't full. Go outside, and save
at the frog if you wish. Go through the cave to the right, then start climbing
the place. At the top, save at the frog before going to fight those three
purple clay monsters. Make Lucas use PK Special Y, make Kumatora, suprisingly
use PK Fire, make Duster use his abilities, and make Boney use bombs, and
such other useless efforts the dog can do. PK Special Y does about 450 damage,
like on the last boss. Sometimes, it will do 500 damage, which is ALOT! But
also like last time your PP will go down in no time. PK Fire B will do about
150 damage, which is quite useful when Lucas runs out of PP. This boss can be
tricky, but I have a good way of beating this boss, and it works. As long as
you have some PP restoring items, and Kumatora has the Lower defence PSI, then
you can do this trick. Make Lucas do his PK Special Y. Make Kumatora use her
lower defence PSI. Make Duster use his lower defence ability too, and make
Boney restore Lucas/Kumatoras PP. The boss, should keep on putting his defence
back up, meaning he wont attack. If you keep doing this, Lucas will be able to
do some decent damage, like 50 because every one else does 5 for me. Sooner or
later, you might be able to JUST make Duster use his lower defence ability,
and make Kumatora use some PK PSI, because the boss's defence is so low, he
just has to raise it. But Duster will make it go down again, making the boss
put it up again! As long as Duster doesn't fail it, you should win easily!
Also, I think its random, but sometimes Kumatoras PK PSI doesn't work. I think
it is random, because sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. But anyways, my
battle was easy. Lucas attacks (ran out of PP healing items) Kumatora does PK
PSI, Duster uses Defence down, Boney uses bombs. Boss raises Defence, Duster
then lowers it. Lucas attacks, Kumatora uses PSI, Boney does whatever. Repeat.
The boss will attack sometimes though. But you can survive it, right? Anyways,
after beating this boss, you get 12346EXP! Well done for beating this boss!
After the cut-scene, Missy will come. You will get Missy's Memento, and a
delicious pickle. Now head back, save at the frog, and through the cave. Go
down to the hotspring, then head through the jungle. Back at the beach, save
at the frog, then get onto the taxi, which is the octopus. When you arrive at
the beach, go right into the next area, with the Sheriffs office. Talk to alec
then go right again. Talk to the guy standing at the exit. Check your map, if
there isn't a white circle near the top, then head all the way to the old
home. Then talk to the guy standing outside. Now, see that white circle? Thats
your new destination. So to get there, go to the train station, then go left.
Go past the church place, into the forest kind of area. After that building
with the hotspring to the left, and the frog, go left. Don't keep going up
here because you will find a dead end with that house. To the left, keep going
upwards, and save at the next frog. You should be at the place with that
wooden plank, so go to the left. Kumatora should say something too. In the
next area, Lucas and the gang will fall over, losing the delicious pickle. As
Boney, you must find it. Examine the sparkles, and you will pick it up. Take
it back to Lucas, then get another. I don't know if its fixed, but I think the
pickle might be the last item you get. You will gain control of Lucas again,
so head up into the next area. Going all the way left you will find a hot
spring, a frog and a shop, one of those bug things I think. Anyways, go back
to the entrance, and head up. Once your inside the cave, keep going up and up
that small ladder. Go right, and in this next area, go down. Walk down that
small slope, and then up the next one. Go outside here. Now go right, and then
across that small plank of wood. Save your game at the frog, and go into the
crossdressers house. Talk to Ionia, to get the Water of Time! Then go outside.
Talk to the Mr. Saturn on the plank of wood to get Franklin Badge. Make sure
you have saved your game, and are fully healed. This next part is very hard.
Go left, then upwards to find the temple. Here, you will see Claus trying to
gain entrance to the temple. Some of the soldiers will notice you, and you
have to fight. These are quite hard, but they are just normal enemies. Anyways
after beating them (you get 9486EXP!) you will then be treated to a cut-scene.
Remember NOT to use anything good on these soldiers, you have a REALLY tough
boss fight next! The next boss is Claus, with some sort of Lightsaber looking
weapon! He can protect himself, and I think he can attack all your party
members for 100-200 damage each or something like that. Attacking one of your
party members does about 150 or so damage. Make Lucas use PK Special, Kumatora
use PK Freeze, Duster his abilities, and make Boney use bombs and the like.
I'm not sure what and why it happens, but for me, when Claus used some sort of
electric attack, it hurted him instead, doing 101 or so damage. This may be
the equipment I have equiped (for Lucas) and possiby mementos. Unlike the last
boss, you can make Lucas do some decent damage without having to change Claus'
stats. My lucas did about 40 or so damage, everyone else did 1 or so. Once you
have ran out of PP, restore it with PP healing items. If you have none, then
make sure you have ALOT of HP restoring items, for when your HP gets low. Keep
attacking the boss, and healing when you need to. Eventually, you will beat
this boss too. You get 15474EXP for winning! Well done, your getting pretty
good at this! Save your game, then go up to the vines. Use the water of time
to open them (just press A button in front of it, you don't have to go through
your inventory), then go inside the temple. Inside, walk up to the golden
needle. Ionia will come, and Kumatora will learn PK Starstorm. Now take the
needle out, and Lucas will learn PK Special Omega. Walk ouside the temple if
it doesn't do it automatically, I can't remember. Save your game. Get inside
the limo. Here, you can rest in the bath/hot tub, then save your game at the
frog. Go to the empty drivers seat, and get inside. The screen will show you
an amusement park, before the game goes onto the last chapter of the game,
Chapter 8. Well done for getting this far, and completeing the longest chapter
in the game!
CHAPTER 8 - EVERYTHING AND ALL THINGS
After getting out of the limo, go to the right into the actual park. Go right
into the next area, then go inside the theater. Inside, go into the next room.
Watch the movie thing, its a whole load of screen shots from Earthbound/Mother
2! They mainly consist of Ness and the gang. Anyways, check the middle set of
seats at the top from the left, to find a green bug. Boney will chase after
through a hole in one of the speakers. Now, leave the Theater, and go to the
left. Back in the first area, head into the Arcade, it has GAME above the door
of the place. Talk to the guy to the right of the thing in the middle, to open
up an entrance to the sewers. Save your game if you want to, then head down
into the sewers. Once your inside the sewers, go down across the junk so you
can get across that purple stuff. Keep going right into the next area. Here,
go right, then up across the junk, and climb up the ladder. In the room to the
right there is three bins, the bin monsters I think. To the left is a hot tub
for healing. Exit the room, then go down the left ladder, then go left into
the next area. Here, go left, and climb up the ladder, then go through the
door into an abandoned house. Go up the stairs, then go all the way to the
left to find Boney. Now go to the left, and talk to that really big guy. After
ALOT of talking, and I mean alot, pick up that bug thing. Go back downstairs,
but before going into the sewers, go to the left and save at the frog in the
same room with the big guy (make sure your downstairs though). And then head
through the sewers again. Don't forget to rest at the hot tub. Once you get
back to the entrance, Yokuba will jump out from the purple crap at you! What
the hell!? He just doesn't give up. Cue another boss battle with him. You can
do some MEGA damage to this boss now. Make Lucas do PK Special Omega (50PP!!)
and make Kumatora use PK Starstorm (48PP!). PK Special Omega will do about 780
or so damage! Thats alot. PK starstorm does about 720 or so damage. My lucas
did Omega twice, as he only had 144 or so PP. Then use his other specials,
until you run out of PP. Make Kumatora use PK Starstorm until she runs out of
PP too. Once you cant use any PSI, heal alot, and just keep pounding. Make
Duster use his abilities (like lower offence and defence) and make Boney do
the usual use bombs and such. Once enough damage has been recieved, he will
sort of explode, turning back to the Yokuba we last fought inside that Lava
cave. Like last time, he can also heal himself 500HP, which can be annoying
when your pounding away. His attacks do about 250 or so damage or even 330
damage, so you need to heal fast sometimes! Yokuba will also do that electric
move, which reflects back for me again, so this can be useful if it happens
for you too. Once you have beaten this boss, you will get 28636EXP! And lets
hope he drowns!
Anyways, go up the ladder and save, or you can head back to the hot tub if you
need some HP and PP restoring. Once your outside of the arcade, go up. What!?
Empire Porky!? Who is this Porky guy? Anyways, go left, then up the escalator
thats going up. Go to the right. Hang on, who is that on top of that
roundabout? He looks familiar, especiall if you have played Earthbound/Mother2
at all. Anyways, go right, then into that really large building. Go to the
left to get into the elevator, and up to the 24th floor. Go into the room on
the right, then through the door at the top. DCMC members will talk to you.
As Duster, put the afro wig on. After the performance, leave this room, and go
back to the elevator. Use the elevator to get to the 100th floor.
Go into the water, and remember that you can be attacked by the hippos. They
are pretty easy to kll. Go right, then upwards. Here, when you exit the water,
the scientist will make the hippo attack you. Don't worry, its not a boss, he
is fairly easy to beat. Anyways, go through the door, then go to the right and
into the next room. Go around, then enter the water, and go back into the
previous room. Here, go into the elevator. At the top, save at the frog if you
want to. Go right. Whoa, some ladies, in nothing but their underwear. But we
have somewhere to go, so carry on going right, then into the elevator. In the
next corridor, use that black capsule thing to heal, then save at the frog.
Go to the left, to find alot of toilets. The first one is empty, the second
one has a pig in it, the third a present, the fourth you can't go into. So go
into the last door. Here, go through the next door. OK, your in a big set of
toilet corridors. You must find the right door to go through, I think it's
always a pink one. Be careful here, that chimera from chapter 7 is about! Once
you find the golden toilet, go into the elevator behind it. Here, go to the
right, and enter the giant shell house. Here, there are some presents. After
this, go back outside, and to the right, go up the lift. This next area seems
to be full of robots and mechanic stuff, it seems some people are building
something. Head through this area, running into the people when they are
standing near a small gap, you can then walk across them. Soon, you will be
stuck, there's no one near the gap. So climb up the ladder, and then use the
big crane. After the cut-scene, head back down and walk across the man. Keep
on going until your at the lift. Use it. In this area, keep following the path
fighting the enemies along the way, they shouldn't be too much trouble. Once
you get to the stairs, save your game. Head up the stairs. You will get into
a big room, with a mini-game. Now, im not quite sure what you have to actually
do. All I know, is that you go up to a hole, press A or B, I can't remember
which, to hit a mole. I did this about ten or so times before I could continue
so im not sure what the idea of this is. Either way, keep playing, then go
through the door when you can. I think you have to make it so the Robot wins.
Once your through the door, go up some more stairs. Here, it's a race. Just
walk to the end of the pole, wait for the robot to finish, then finish. The
next one, you must blow up a baloon, using a pump, by pressing the A button.
It's pretty easy. After this, climb some more stairs. Make sure you save your
game this time. At the top, you will fight a giant cyborg boss thing. Make
Lucas PK Special Omega it, Kumatora PK Starstorm, Duster abilities, and Boney
attack. Omega does about 800 or so damage, starstorm does about 650 or so. His
attacks do about 200 or so damage. He does an attack that does about 220 or so
damage to all of your characters or something. Once you run out of PP, start
bashing, and keep the healing items at the ready. Sooner or later, he will die
as it's not that hard, as long as you have ALOT of PP to use Omega and
starstorm. For winning you get 34381EXP!
After this, head upwards, and through the hell of a long corridor. At the end,
the classic Earthbound/Mother 2 theme will play. This is a really cool room!
Most of the things here are from Earthbound/Mother 2, like the runaway 5 bus,
a telephone, ATM machine, that big purple moster which helps you, a helicopter
and one of those giant stone things from the desert. There's also a bike, a
big machine Pokey was in, this room rocks. Get in the boat, to see all of
this stuff. At the end, go through the door. Here, use the black capsule thing
and save at the frog. Go upwards, and at the top. Meet a person, you most
probably know. You will then have to fight loads of versions of him. These are
kind of hard, because using PSI against them is useless, they just reflect it
back at you! This can get extremely hard. Basically, you will fight seven or
so of the Porkys (yeah, he's called Porky this time round) and then some other
enemies. Then, three more Porkys come! What the ****! But then, you are helped
by an outside force. I think it's DCMC. Anyways, the enemies get SMAAAAAASHED
and then you win. You get 16010EXP. After battle, Flint will come. I imagine
he says "WHAT THE **** WAS YOU THINKING LUCAS!!!". Well, he doesn't but hey.
Anyways, after some talking, the real Porky is revealed. He's an old grandad!
But being inside that capsule keeps him safe. Anyways, the floor turns into
an elevator, and starts moving downwards really fast. At the bottom, Flint
goes ahead. Keep going down the stairs, and save at the frog. Then, open the
present. It's a hot spring in a box for you. Go through, into the next area.
Here, just keep on going, avoiding the enemies is best, as you will want your
HP and PP full. Keep going, until your in the last area. You will see Flints
hat fly off, but he's OK. Carry on, until you meet Porky. Well, at least there
isn't a lecture before the fighting begins! Here, he yet again can reflect any
of your PSI abilities. Looks like your back to using your attacks. As long as
your about level 70 or so, you should be doing a decent amount of damage. If
you have at least one character, like Lucas as lvl 99, then your in luck. You
should do some decent damage! If you put the inf. HP cheat on, you can use
your PSI abilities, but thats for cheaters. Keep attacking, healing, attacking
and healing. He does about the same amount as damage as the clone ones, and
can heal himself, for a measly 80-100HP! Once you have beaten him, a giant
space ship pod thing will come. Attack it twice, and then the battle ends, or
something like that. Then, after some cut-scenes, head upwards and save your
game and heal at the LAST hot spring and save point ever, in the game. Soon
you will find the last needle. You will then have to fight Claus. In this
battle, don't attack, just keep healing yourself. Soon, he comes back from
being brainwashed. But hang on, there's spoilers up ahead! IT'S THE END OF THE
WORLD! Everything goes crazy, fires break out, everything is being destroyed!
Your home town collapses. But then you will be told, that it is lucky that
everyone survived, and they are rebuilding the destroyed stuff. After this,
start to move to the left. People start talking, then the credits will roll.
CONGRATULATIONS, you have either finished Mother 3, or your just reading ahead
to see what happens. I hope you enjoyed the game and found this guide useful!
************************
CHAPTER 3 - SOUND PLAYER
************************
Right from the start of the game you can listen to all of the music in the
game. Although any music that you haven't heard yet doesn't have I name, it's
just ???. This is quite good, as you don't have to finish the game to listen
to it. It's pretty good. Thats about it really. There are 250 music songs in
the game though. You can also put some of the music to a favourites part, so
you don't have to go looking for them. In other words, this feature is pretty
cool!
***************
CHAPTER 4 - FAQ
****************
This is the FAQ (frequently asked questions) section of the guide, with some
more questions to come! If you have a question, just send me an e-mail at
Ramir_klensbane@hotmail.com! Make sure Mother 3 is the subject otherwise it
will be deleted. If your question is FA, then I will put it in this section.
Q. What level were your characters at the end?
A. Well, I can't exactly remember, Lucas and Boney were lvl 99 though.
Kumatora and Duster were about 70 or so.
Q. Is Ness and the gang in this game?
A. No, but they do make a cameo role, in the Theater in Chapter 8.
Q. Why is chapter 6 just more or less a cut-scene.
A. I have no idea.
Q. How long does it take about to complete this game?
A. My first time it took me 17 or so hours.
Q. So which characters should I spend my time getting levels?
A. All of them, apart from Flint, you only have him for 1 chapter.
Q. My ROM freezes at the part where Porky enters that big capsule thing!
A. Yeah, it does do that. Wait for the translated ROM, maybe that won't freeze
because I don't think you can stop it freezeing.
Q. Why do you think the ROM freezes?
A. Most probably because the ROM was leaked two days before the actual game
was released.
Q. Where can I get this game?
A. Buy it online, and remember you don't need an japanese GBA, it will work on
your GBA.
Q. Whats the deal with all the gay people, crossdressers, and getting stoned
on mushrooms!?
A. Have you never played Earthbound/Mother 2!? If not, then Earthbound/Mother
is a very wacky game. It's random at the most.
*****************
CHAPTER 5 - CODES
*****************
These are some codes for the people playing with an emulator, or people with
those cheat cartridge things. I cannot say they WILL work, but they seem OK
when I used them for testing. I don't like cheating, but I thought this might
help some people.
Lucas Infinite HP in battle
0201d94c:00ff
0201da46:00ff
0201da4e:00ff
0201e0fa:00ff
Claus Infinite HP in battle
0201e3e0:00ff
0201e4da:00ff
0201e4e2:00ff
0201e836:00ff
Flint Infinite HP in battle
0201d964:00ff
0201da5e:00ff
0201da66:00ff
0201dfb2:00ff
Flint Max EXP
02004190:0098967F
Boney Max EXP
020043ac:0098967f
Lucas Max EXP
020041fc:0098967f
Duster Max EXP
02004340:0098967f
If you are using an emulator, then I will give steps on how to use them on the
Visual Boy Advance emulator I used to test these codes. Basically, click on
the cheats tab, then go on Cheat list. Click on code, and then copy and paste
all of the codes (for that one character) and paste it in the Code box. Then
put in Inf. HP Lucas or something. It will already be activated, so go into a
battle. Make your character get attacked, and their HP should stay the same.
If so, then it works. Apprantly, there is a bug, in which the game freezes
after winning the battle. I am not sure if this is true, as it has never done
that to me when testing. Make sure you only have that code on for people that
are actually in your party, so in chapter 5, don't have the Flint or Claus
codes, as this may cause the problme. Remember, Claus is only used in battle
for the first fight in the game.
Thanks to B3Agent, who I think made these codes or something, because I found
them on the Mother 3 message board. Im not sure what cartridge you would have
to use, so use them in your emulator. Remember, only download the ROM, if you
own the original game! If you don't, it's illegal! Thanks to any one else that
have made thses codes!
WARNING: Some codes might make the game freeze, usually in battles!
How to use the Max EXP codes. Go into a battle, then activate the code. Once
you win, your characters will go up to level 99! NOTE: The Max EXP codes might
be in the wrong order in the list. I'm not sure, but I don't think the Duster
one works properly. Also, its OK to turn the codes off AFTER getting level 99.
Also, I think being level 99, will get you all of the PSI, when your character
gets tired. I think the PSI works as when you get to a certain level, your
character will then get tired, then learn a random PSI, as long as its not too
good I think.
***************************
CHAPTER 6 - VERSION HISTORY
***************************
1.000 - Nothing is done, its literally just been started.
1.356 - More or less complete until the translated ROM comes out. Then i'll
download that, and finally replace Mother 3' place in my GBA cartridge slot of
my DS. This version has a full walkthrough, and sound player and FAQ are more
or less done. It also includes some codes. When, or IF, the translated ROM is
finished (mother3.org or something like that, currently 10% complete last time
I checked) then hopefully this guide will have an items, weapons, monsters and
PSI section, as I can't type japanese into this document.
***************************
CHAPTER 7 - END OF DOCUMENT
