In this entry, we finally make it out of the pyramid and run into a familiar friend.

Pyramid Map (by Tropicon)

The Arachnid!!! can immobilize and poison a single target. Believe it or not, there was an enemy called "Arachnid!" near the Rainy Circle, but we never saw it.

The Pharoah's Curse has a chance of poisoning the enemy it is used against.

The Guardian General can do quite a bit of damage to one party member, and thankfully not to the whole party. It can lower one party member's offense and defense with a war cry, much like the Petrified Royal Guard, and it can drain someone's PP by making something spin around (which works much like Magnet Alpha). Once again, you'll want to hit it with Big Bottle Rockets whenever you can.

Ness will learn Meteor Theta at Level 49. Poo learns Thunder Theta at Level 41. Paula will learn Freeze Omega, which is the most powerful Freeze spell and will hit all targets at the cost of a lot of PP, at Level 46.

When Jeff's IQ is at 45, he can repair the Broken Bazooka to get the Heavy Bazooka.

Past the Guardian General is a switch on the floor. You'll want to step on it. This will shift a sarcophagus with red eyes that you probably saw earlier. (Had you had a battle near it, the sarcophagus would disappear and reveal a hole, spoiling that you have to do something with it.) Return to that sarcophagus and go into the hole that you see. You'll be able to get the Hawk Eye. Walk up to it and get it. This removes the enemies from the pyramid and also allows you to see in the dark if you have it in your Inventory.

The Rain Pendant protects from Freeze.

After you get the Hawk Eye, keep heading east. There will be a Diamond Band in the coffin near the next hole, so get it before dropping down the hole. Once you drop down that hole, keep heading east to get out.

Once you're outside, head south. You'll soon meet the old man that Poo met during his training. He will heal you, then leave with Poo to teach him the way of the Starstorm. Poo will meet you again when he learns it, which will be later in the game. You're back to being a trio again.

The man northwest of the pyramid exit will give you a key to Dungeon Man, who is to the northwest. The man with the camel nearby will sell some weapons and healing items, including the Multi Bottle Rocket, which does more damage than the Big Bottle Rocket. You'll also want to get the French Fry Pan and the Crusher Beam for Paula and Jeff, respectively.

The High-Class UFO can cause loss of concentration in a single party member, and can also cast Shield Alpha on itself or an enemy to protect it from magic. Its beam can pack a punch. It is susceptible to Rust Promoter DX.

The weird looking stone creature northwest of the pyramid exit is Dungeon Man.
