DeceasedCrab plays Earthbound - Part 5 of 53


In this entry, we finally reach the first "Your Sanctuary" location before heading to Twoson.



You'll want to be at least Level 11 before fighting the Titanic Ant in addition to having a bunch of Hamburgers to heal with.

PSI Rockin' Alpha will do some good damage to Titanic Ant and will also kill the Black Antoids in one turn at this point. 

Titanic Ant will cast Defense Down Alpha to lower your defense and cast Shield Alpha on himself to raise his, so be ready to hell yourself and use PSI Rockin' Alpha to do more damage than you would with your physical weapon.

When you beat Titanic Ant, you'll be able to reach the Giant Step, your first "My Sanctuary" location. You'll get a bit of a melody for the Soundstone, which you can now use at any time to listen to what you have of the song whenever you want.

When you beat the area leading to a "My Sanctuary" area, enemies will start running away from you. This is useful, as you can use this to get back more easily while also getting more experience.

Ness will learn Shield Alpha at Level 12. Just like with the Titanic Ant, it will raise your defense when cast.



When you come back out of the cave, a cop will be waiting outside telling you to get to the Onett Police Station later, despite having permission from Mayor Pirkle to go in. Head to the police station and talk to the first policeman you see to get some useless dialogue and ranting. The guy he is talking to will ask if you want to go to Twoson, and if you say "yes," you'll be taken to a back room where you have to fight five policemen, one at a time. Why you are doing this, I could not tell you.

The cops will try to karate chop you, but at this rate, you should be able to beat them down with at least two hits from a Tee-ball Bat. You'll want to be Level 11 or 12 here to get through this with minimal problems. When you beat the fourth guy, however, the fifth guy will run away, and you'll have to face Captain Strong.

Use Psi Rockin' Alpha against Captain Strong and keep using it. You'll want to have saved all your PP for this battle in order to do that and be able to heal if necessary. One you beat him, you can finally open the road to Twoson and go there.

On the road to Twoson, you'll face more Black Antoids, but they should be easy to deal with that you're past Level 11. The house you'll see on the way is a house full of Exit Mice, and you can talk to the one without a sign to put an Exit Mouse in your inventory. If you need to leave a dungeon in a hurry, you can use the Exit Mouse as an item.

You'll also encounter the Ramblin' Evil Mushroom. At this rate, you can probably defeat it in one hit.

You'll also find a Hamburger in a box before entering Twoson.



The advice by the nearby mole did not age well. While there are some weird looking humans that do act like enemies, that...probably wasn't the best way to put it.

The Ketchup Packet can be used as a condiment and sprinkled over food. If you use it with a Hamburger, you can heal more. Condiments can be interesting and useful to use, but you also have inventory slots to worry about.

According to the first NPC you see, Twoson is home to a modern hotel, a hospital, the wonderful Chaos Theater, the Polestar preschool, and a nice bus station. There is also Burglin Park, there is Peaceful Rest Valley on one side and Happy-Happy Vilalge, and there is also a pizza parlor.

If a person has a blue face, it is an Unassuming Local Guy, which is an enemy. He can try to solidify you, so you'll want to be careful if you fight him.

If you go to the Cycle Shop, you'll be approached by the picture taking guy. You can rent a bike, but you can only ride it if you're the only person in the party and you cannot ride it into buildings or into dungeon-like places like a cave. It will let you go faster at the expense of not being able to talk to anybody.

The blue policeman is an evil cop much like the ones you fought earlier in Onett.

By talking around, you'll find out that there is a religion being formed in Happy-Happy Village.
