EarthBound
Alternate Method for Defeating Giygas
Before you go into the Phase Distorter 2, remember to sell all but the essential items and replace them with "Horn of Life"s. THIS IS EXTREMLY CRUCIAL TO YOUR SURVIVAL! On the first screen, Gygas is there with Pokey in a machine. Now concentrate all fire on Pokey. Use Lifeup B on those that are getting hurt. Now when Pokey stops the fight he turns off the machine and says how spooky it looks inside Gygas. Then you go head to head with Gygas himself. Using Bash & Shoot (And of course Lifeup B) fight him until Pokey stops the fight and makes Gygas stronger. Now you can use PRAY, which wears out after 9 uses. From then on, use the "Horn of Life"s. After you run out of everybody but you and the girl it seems like a hope is lost and all you have left is spirit! Now use PRAY again until Gygas is defeated!
Defeat the Last Boss
To defeat the last boss, have Paula pray nine times while your other members heal and attack. Ness's special attack works great, and so does Jeff's bazooka.
Easy Level Gains
To get a very easy level up, go to the Scaraba Desert. Walk around until you see a little red bug which is the Criminal Catepillar. Try walking all the way to the bottom, straight back up, and looking to the right of the gate. It is very weak and will run from you so all you have to do is chase it around till you enter a fight. You will automatically win and you should receive around 28,000 exp. points! Keep finding and fighting him till you get to the level you want. If you get weak, go to the hotel and sleep to regain your health.
Easy Money
There are several ways in this game to earn some quick cash. One way is to raise chickens. First, buy them for $12 and keep them. Wait till they turn into chickens and then sell them for $110! Two places where you can get free eggs are Happy Happy Village and a monkey in Tarah Rama's Cave. Another way to get money is to buy Broken Cannons for Jeff in Scarabia and then go Twoson. Keep sleeping in Paula's house until Jeff turns them all into Spectrum Beams, and then sell them for a nice profit. While you're waiting in Twoson, go to the man sitting in the hotel and talk to him until he gives you 50 bucks.
Free Refund
Toget back your money while in Twoson, go to "Hotel Twoson" and pay fifty dollars for your stay. When you wake up in the morning, go out your door and head to the bottom of the room. There you will see a man standing there. Talk to this man repeatedly and he will say short sentences to you. After a while, he will give you fifty dollars (A FULL REFUND!)
Get Jeff Easily
When you first look at the ladder in Threed, go to the hotel. There'll be a woman in a bikini. Follow her inside, and when she knocks you out, it'll go through a scene where Paula (or whatever you named her) will pray to Jeff. Go nextdoor and get all the cookies. Then go downstairs and get the "Bad Key Machine". Get out of the school and go to the drugstore. Then get the monkey and go to the lake. Tessie will take you across the lake, and then go through the maze. Once you're done, go through the cave and to the lab.
Quick Pizza
To get a pizza right away, all you have to do is order one, then call dad, save, and end. Press reset, and load the game you just saved. When you start the Mach Pizza guy will deliver your pizza.
Rock Candy Trick
You need rock candy and a lot of sugar packets for this trick to work. Put them all in one person's inventory. Now, get into a battle. Have that person use the rock candy in battle. They will sprinkle sugar on the rock candy and it will increase that person's stats. But the trick is, when you do it in battle with the sugar packet, the packet gets consumed, but the rock candy remains! Continue to do this and you can make all your characters invincible!
The Insignificant Item
The first step is to go to Threed and defeat Belch. After you have done that go to the Threed hospital, second floor. Go into both rooms and check the drawer you should find the insignificant item. This item has no purpose but is fun to get.
Unlimited Magic Butterflies
When you get to Threed, and have to travel into the warehouse type of place Master Belch is in, don't limit your PSI, you can use as much as you want! On the way to fighting Master Blech there will be a room you can go in and out of, and a magic butterfly will be there everytime! This is the same also when you are in Scaraba, after going through the Hole at the top of the pyramid, the butterfly will be in the last room. |
