Tips


This is tips on how to beat some enemies. Sometimes I'll reccommenda PSI attack, but if you have a stronger version of it then use that! Also, when I say PSI ROCKIN I mean the PSI move that's named after your favorate thing in the beginning of the game. It's the first offensive PSI attack that the lead character learns. Sometimes the bash command will become shoot, ependin on wich weapon you have equipped, but I will reffer to it as Bash.

For the PSI symbols, I'll represent Alpha (the A) as A and-
Beta (the B symbol) as B
Gamma (the funky swirl) will be Gamma
Omega (the horseshoe-type thing) will be Omega
I don't know what it's called but it looks like an E. It will be represented as... umm...B.

And for the names....
The main character I will call Ness
The girl will be Paula
The boy with the glasses is Jeff
and the last boy in white clothes is Poo.

Titanic Ant (Giant Step shining star boss):
I reccomend equipping the strongest weapons in Onett's shop (see Ruffini the dog, in the shop, he'll explain) and being at least level 10. Also, look for a trash can, one has a free Hamburger inside. Get as many healing items and food as you can! Then go to titanic ant (see walkthru). Once you get out of the cave before you go back in thru the other hole, use PSI Lifeup A and look for magic butterflies up there to cure your PP for Titanic Ant. Once you get to him, use PSI Rockin A if you have it yet, and use it till you run out of PP! . That should cause about 100 damage to Titanic ant each time and get rid of his "cohorts". Once you get down to 30 HP, use healing items every other turn And bash the ant! You should beat him in no time!

Carpenter (forgot his exact name, but he's in Happy Happy Village):
This is one of the EASIEST battles in the game! Of course get the best waepons, and be around level 13-15. First go thru the cave at the north of the happy happy village (not the east!) and out the other end. Go to the house at the end of the cave and talk to the girl (she's Paula). She'll join you later. Now she'll give you the Franklin Badge, wich is really important when battling Carpenter. Next go back to the village and find the building with a bunch of blue guys in it. Talk to the blue guys that move/wave arms fast and they'll move. It's kind of hard to get thru. Some of them will battle you. Don't worry, it's just EXP and Carpenter is sssssoooooo easy you won't need a lot of HP. Plus, there's two presents and they have food in them. once you get thru the door at the left side, go up the stairs. Carpenter will be there with the Mani Mani statue, wich caused him to become evil. He will use some lightning attacks and the franklin badge will reflect them back to Carpenter, causing about 100 damage each time. In two hits by his own lightning, Carpenter should be defeated. If he dosen't use hardly any lightning (both of my 2 times thru the game he always did use lots of lightning) then PSI Rockin A and Bash or Shoot. You'll get the key to get Paula out from him. Then go back and talk to Paula and she'll join you. You have to use the key to get her out.

Trillionge Sprout (Milky Well shining star boss):
Just like with Titanic ant, get all / the best healing items you can and best weapons (there's some strong ones in Saturn Valley!) for both the Ness character AND Paula, and Jeff. Of course, I was at a high level for that boss (around 30) when I battled him. I went all the way to Fourside before I beat him. If the boy with the glasses has any bombs or rockets (big bottle rocket recommended), use them. PSI Rockin B (or A if you don't have B yet) for the lead character. PSI Freeze / Fire A or B from the girl, and you should beat him. Of vourse, I was at around level 30 when I got thru this part, so it may be harder for you. Skip the boss for a while and then come back and it'll be easier if you've gained levels.

Moles In Desert Gold Mine (in dusty dunes desert):
Once you have gotten to the part in the game where you can go to the gold mine in dusty dunes desert, you have to battle 5 moles in there. They are hard to find, so if you have a player's guide, USE IT! Also equip the strongest weapons you can get. You can makeYou should be at least level 35. If you battle the Criminal Catepillars (see cheats) you should be around level 45 in no time. I was around level 40 when I battled them. When you get to themhave paula use PSI Freeze B and have Ness use PSI Rockin B or the Bash command. Have Jeff just shoot or bash, and if he has the Double Beam equipped they should be pretty easy!

Shroom! (shining spot boss in Winters)
It's been a while since I've beat him, but here's what I think I did... Be around level 50. For Ness, just bash or PSI Flash B and up to have a shot at instant defeat. Have Jeff use Rockets and Bombs. Paula should use... PSI Freeze (I'm not sure but I think it works!). Keep on fighting along. It isn't as easy as Carpainter but it's definatly not as hard as Electro Specter.

Electro Specter (seventh shining spot boss)
Now, THIS one is HARD.
This would be another good time to whip out the player's guide to lead you thru the maze. You should be around level 60 with all the other characters at LEAST level 35. It's a tough one, he has around 3,000 HP! Electro Specter has a PSI Shield on him, so don't use offensive PSI attacks. Cast PSI Shield B on everyone to deflect Electro Specter's attacks. He uses a lightning attack that does around 100 damage but the Franklin Badge will deflect it just like it did with Carpainter. Ness will just have to bash. If Ness faints, use a Horn of Life or Cup of Lifenoodles to rivive him, because he has all the healing and lifeup. Have Jeff use bottle rockets and bombs. After he runs out just bash. If you have the Heavy Bazooka item with you, use it (Jeff has to fix the broken bazooka to get the heavy bazooka). Don't bother wit the sheild killer, I used it over 10 times and it dosen't work. Have paula use Mummy Wrap or Handbag Strap or any other item like that to deal out some damage and paralize Electro Specter. Have Poo use Brainshock A (it's not offensive type so it isn't reflected) on Electro Specter to attack himself. Don't worry if 1 or 2 people faint in battle (except for Ness), you can still beat him, because that's the way I did. I only had Ness and Poo left when I beat him.

How to get the Sword of Kings
When you get to the Stonhenge Base in Winters, at one paoint you will find a lot of the gold starmen (Starmen Supers, I think). You can get the Sword of Kings, the only weapon Poo can equip, from him. Of course, it's only a 1/128 chance, but still, get it! It's worth it!

How to get the Gutsy Bat
You can get the Gutsy Bat from the Kracken. Your first shot is when you sail out of Summers/Totto and first fight the Kracken. But it's onlt 1/128 chance. You think that's it, right? Well, it isn't. When you get to the Sea of Eden, you can fight Krackens there. It increases guts by 128 and offense by some large number, I forgot. Check your player's guide to find out. It's midnight and I'm too tiered to get mine :-)

HOW TO GET THE PHANTOM BAT
You've heard rumors of it. But now I found out how to get the strongest weapon of all, the Phantom Bat. You have a 1/999 chance of getting it when you do the Konami Code (A, B, B, A, LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, START, SELECT) in the start of the ga,e where it says "the year is 199X"... just kidding!

I'll have more later.
