DeceasedCrab plays Earthbound - Part 6 of 53


In this entry, we explore Twoson some more. Some of the people we meet and hear about here will be important to the story later on.



By talking around with the NPC's, you'll find out that Paula has been kidnapped and that some weird guy was following her. You'll also find out about Apple Kid and Orange Kid, the two inventors in the town. 

There is a man at the hospital who will tell you that he has been bitten by zombies in Threed, which is the next town over. He will mention that he left something at the hospital but cannot get it because the bus cannot get through the tunnel. You'll also find out that there is a circus in Threed, which is weird if there are also zombies there.

At the Twoson Department Store, you can get a ticket for the Runaway Five show at the Chaos Theater to the east. If you go into the theater, you'll need a ticket to see the show, but you can meet The Runaway Five's manager Poochyfud, who will tell you that The Runaway Five owes him a lot of money and that they are stuck here until they can pay him back in full, or if you pay it all for them, whichever happens first. Outside of the building are two members of the group, and they will tell you that the theater cheated them and left them deep in debt, 

The guy near the phone will tell you about homesickness and calling your mother. If you do just that, you'll find out that your sister Tracy is now working for Escargo Express and that she can help you store excess items you don't need and have them delivered to you if you do. Just keep in mind that both services cost a fee, so make sure you have some when you do them. You can store or have delivered three items at a time.

Also, be sure to talk to Dad after battling numerous enemies in order to see how much cash has been deposited into your bank account.

The Twoson Department Store has multiple stores, such as a bakery where you can buy foods that will heal as well as weapons and armor. There is also an arcade at the top floor, where a man will tell you that Happy-Happy Village is literally getting more blue.

If you buy a teddy bear, it will take damage in your stead during battle, but only a few times.

The Hint Guy is in the house between the Twoson Athletic Department sign and the "If you have time to read this, go to the Chaos Theater immediately" sign.

You'll find out that the singer Venus' house is near Burglin Park.

Speaking of Burglin Park, you can buy quite a few things there. One of the most interesting things you can buy is a Fresh Egg for $12, and if you buy one and keep it in your inventory for a while, you will hear chirping noises. That means the egg has turned into a chick that you can sell for more money. If you wait even longer, the chick will grow into a full-grown chicken that goes for even more money. Sell the chickens with the For Sale Sign for a ton of money.

The Tool Shop has a "For Sale" Sign, and if you can buy it, you can use it to sell items without having to go to a store. Just make sure you move around in the same location you used it in and do not go too far.

The junk store has a Copper Bracelet that will increase your defense by five at this point in the game.

You'll also find out about Everdred around here. Everdred the crime boss is standing on the roof of a nearby house, and if you move towards him, you will fight him. Everdred will try to steal things from you and constantly grin in addition to hitting you with physical attacks. Use PSI Meteor Alpha to take off a lot of his HP.

At Level 14, Ness will learn PSI Paralysis Alpha, which paralyzes one enemy.

When you beat Everdred, he will tell you that he twisted his ankle from jumping off the nearby roof before revealing that Paul awent off to a secret hideout in the peaceful Rest Valley and got kidnapped by a chubby boy and a weird guy in a blue outfit in order to make her some sort of human sacrifice. He also tells you to come back and see him if you save Paula.

If you rest at the hotel, you'll be contacted telepathically by Paula. The guy waiting for you near the door will tell you that ghosts haunt the tunnel leading to three when you leave the hotel room. The guy to the south will give you $50 if you keep pestering him enough times, which is enough to pay for a room.

The blue and purple hippie is the New Age Retro Hippie, who you can easily beat up.

You cannot buy a pizza at the pizza parlor, as the parlor only delivers. If you go to one and talk to the cashier, however, you can get the phone number and call for a pizza from your current location. A pizza will fully heal your party, but it will cost you some money.

Peaceful Rest Valley and Happy-Happy Village are both east of Twoson.
