DeceasedCrab plays Earthbound - Part 15 of 53


In this entry, we suit up for the zombies, then start kicking butt.



If you head to the circus tent near the "Welcome to the Circus" sign and the hotel, you'll find out that the people inside are trying to figure out how to get rid of the zombies.

If you talk to the guy standing behind the pizza parlor, you can buy a toy air gun for Jeff. Buy that, as it's more powerful than what Bloke has right now. Also, buy some Bottle Rockets for Bloke if you can. Also, be sure to buy the Hard Hat for Jeff.

Also, call Escargot Express and get rid of the Pak of Bubble Gum and the Bad Key Machine. You won't need them ever again.

The messy-looking guy near the tents will tell you that he is on the zombies' side for his own protection and that their leader likes eating Fly Honey. He mentions that he has some Fly Honey stored away in a tent to the south. You'll know you've approached the right one when a face suddenly pops up on it.

The Boogey Tent is vulnerable to Fire, so hit it with that. The Boogey Tent can also debuff your party, which won't really affect your party all that much at this point in the game, but it can also cast Flash, which can make party members cry and mess up their physical attacks.

When you beat the tent, it disappears. The zombies will run away from the trash can that you'll see in its place. Examine the trash can to get the Fly Honey.

If you walk to the upper-left corner of the tree near the "Welcome to the Circus" sign with the Receiver Phone after beating up the Boogey Tent, you'll get a call from Apple Kid. He will tell you that he has finished a pretty unique invention called Zombie Paper, which can be used to trap zombies if you lay them all over the floor of a tent. The Mach Pizza delivery man will deliver the paper to you, so just walk around the town until he shows up so you can get it.

If you talk to the people in the tent near the hotel after this, some of the people's dialogue there will change. From here, use the Zombie Paper in the tent to lay it around. You'll then need to rest at the hotel. The zombies will show up and travel from the graveyard to the circus tent only to be trapped by the Zombie Paper.

When you wake up, head to the circus tent near the hotel. People will be standing outside, and if you talk to them, you'll find out that the Zombie Paper has worked and that a ton of zombies are stuck to the floor, which you'll see if you go inside. If you talk to the zombies, you'll find out that they can speak.

With all the zombies away, it's time to find the ladder in the graveyard that was blocked by the two zombies earlier. It will be unguarded now. If you go down the ladder, you'll find an underground path that you'll have to go down, and here, you'll have to fight some more zombie enemies.

If you can get behind some enemies at this point, you can get some easy auto-victories if you're powerful enough.

There are also ghosts known as Zombie Possessors that you can fight. They can inflict you with a status effect where whoever is hit with it will be possessed by a Tiny Li'l Ghost. The Tiny Li'l Ghost will fly around the screen as you're exploring wherever it is that you are, and it will attack who it has possessed during battle unless you can somehow get rid of the status effect, and in order to do that, you'll want to find the old man with the blue hair and mustache and ask him to Purify you. Interestingly, the Tiny Li'l Ghost can also be killed if an enemy casts a Fire spell on the possessed person.
