DeceasedCrab plays Earthbound - Part 17 of 53


In this entry, we head to the Belch Base and see more of the game's quirky humor at work.



One of the caves has a Sudden Guts Pill (which doubles your guts for one battle), a Protractor (which is useless), and a Broken Spray Can (which Jeff will need to fix and is not very useful even when fixed).

The people of Mr. Saturn will mention a secret base run by evil blob creatures behind Grapefruit Falls, and they happen to be the same blog creatures that are taking over Threed with the zombies. Those blob creatures have also captured a few Mr. Saturns, too.

One of the Mr. Saturns will give you something if you talk to them later on. Another one will tell you that if you find the secret headquarters behind Grapefruit Falls, you'll need to wait for three minutes when asked for the password. Keep this in mind for later. A third will tell you that you can get a Secret Herb for $380 and a Horn of Life for $1780 at the store. The Secret Herb heals a good deal, while the Horn of Life resurrects anyone with 0 HP.

The hot spring will heal you, but you'll need to stay in it for a few seconds for it to work.

At the top of the village, the Mr. Saturn with the paper in its mouth is an ATM. The phone to call Dad will be nearby; just use the ladder.

You'll be able to buy the Silver Bracelet and the Red Ribbon here, so save up for those.

The Great Charm provides more defense than the Travel Charm.

There's not much else to do here, so leave the village and go through the cave, then head north when you return to Grapefruit Falls. 


The Red Antoids are the ant enemies that you can deal with here. Thankfully, you can take them.

The photographer will show up to take your picture when you approach the waterfall. Afterwards, go in and head left. When you are told to say the password, you actually have to sit there for three minutes. Do not touch anything until you are told to enter. That's some real Takeshi's Challenge shit right there.


The first blob you meet will ask you if you have Fly Honey. Say yes, and you won't have to fight it.

The Foppy is really easy to beat and gives a great amount of experience. Fight them if you can!

Paula will learn Offense Up Alpha at Level 21. This will raise the offense of one party member during battle.

The IQ Capsule will bring the IQ of whoever uses it up by one. Give them all to Jeff, as he makes use of that stat the most.

You'll find Mr. Saturns working on a conveyor belt while waring ball and chains on their feet. 

The Mostly Bad Flies and the Slimy Little Piles are new enemies. The Flies will try to bring your guts down, while the Piles will make you cry with their belch attacks if they're not calling for other Piles. The Piles are vulnerable to Paralysis.
