@@WeMVP715 There's no way to "always" get the Sword of Kings, but it definitely doesn't require the Casey Bat. No matter what, your odds are always 1/128. It's totally optional though and isn't worth it, so I wouldn't go out of your way to get it.
Yooo the worthless protoplasm part was true, you actually have to pray for good rng or else this boss is unbeatable. I recommend using your big bottle rocket on it too, BTW when are you going to make more Earthbound Beginnings let's play videos? I enjoy them and I hope I'm not the only one
Yeah they really messed up the balancing on that part, game needs an easy mode tbh As for EarthBound Beginnings, I think another one should be coming out soon. I got caught up in the tutorial videos since those worked really well for me, but people seem to enjoy the let's play as well. Thank you for the kind words!
due to grinding for sword of the king on super starmen i was so overleveled for the starmman deluxe that paula had learned psi sheild omega and he killed himself in the first turn from the reflectived pk starstorm as i had jeff use the shield killer on him
Pretty good advice. Some tips for Trillionage Sprout and Clumsy Robot: Get the Secret Herbs from Saturn Valley just in case someone gets diamondized. Jeff can also deal a good amount of damage with Rust Promoters, which I think you can get from a merchant in Northern Fourside. Also will you make a Mother 3 Bosses video too?
The way I beat Giygas is I opened with with psi shield sigma, then I took all the Sudden Guts pills I saved the entire game and put ALL of them on Ness so he crit over and over. Skill
Just a note, poo can equip the sword of kings, though it only has a 1/128 chance of dropping from a starman super and you can only get it in stonehenge base before you defeat the starman deluxe. (after you beat the starman deluxe it becomes impossible to obtain). I SPENT 6 HOURS BEFORE I GOT IT!!!
one thing to note about some of these bosses is their moveset. for example, frank can shout something nasty (pretty much no effect) come out swinging (probably around 15 damage) or brandish a knife (around 30 damage) you really start to learn these when you do challenge runs, and frank took me a while at level 7 (no equipment run)
you helped me with starman deluxe! mostly because i LITERALLY ONE SHOTTED HIM WITH ONE MULTI BOTTLE ROCKET. so uhh thanks! (i just beat electro specter with the help of this too! as of writing this, i'm currently getting the 7th melody)
Most bosses in EB are weak to psi paralyze. You can paralyze bosses like mondo mole, everdred and captain strong. Also most bosses are also vulnerable to psi flash and even capable of being 1 shot KO such as plague rat, thunder and storm and the Kraken. When in doubt! Start throwing out the para and the flash
Another note about the slingshot / yoyo for Ness: another downside about them is that you can never get a "Smaaaash!" with them. They never do critical damage. So, stick with your bats so that you also get a chance of doing critical damage.
EB was one of those games where if at any point you decided to just sit in a spot farming enemies until you're overleveled for the area, everything afterwards becomes mind-numbingly easy 1st learned that one after trying on a run (unsuccessfully I might add) to farm a sword of kings from the super starmen in the Stonehenge base
the night peandant is the best equipment in the entire game for ness and psi flash can kill him instantaly so you want protection, plus, why would you be using physical attacks on him? you can use psi and battle rockets to make this fight a cakewalk
In my previous run of Earthbound, I knocked out Ness's nightmare instantly with Flash Omega on my second turn...Apparently, it's a 3.75% to instant kill him with Flash Omega
I dont think blasting carbon dog with a multibottle rocket item is a bad tactic, at least on paper, it skips half of the battle and you could probably time a full hp revive to jeff in the same turn he gets one shotted?
Use paralysis on the clumsy robot, its 50/50 it works and it doesnt attack that much and it should take 2 or more tries for the robot to kill ness or jeff
The carbon & diamond dog is probably the worst fight I have experienced before. I had no good items such as bottle rockets or bombs, often ended up wasting PP, and I had to keep restarting for like an hour until I got lucky. I hope no other fights will be as hard as this, I just got to Magicant.
@@Nillerz Ok thanks I hope we entertain a lot of people with the video idea if you decide to post it also can you give me at least some credit if you end up making the video
Playing the switch version, I got the goddess band, but I got poisoned and couldn't beat Ness's Nightmare. I ended up loading a previous suspend point to reset and stock up on magic pudding and not throw any of them away. I avoided all gift boxes and FORGOT THE DAMN BAND‼️ Already saved it, and now I can't go back👎🏾
About the kraken fight... One my first playthrough, I decided to use Psi flash on it and it insta died... On my second playthrough, nothing happened? I'm a bit confused unless I'm remembering things wrong. And I noticed you didn't say anything about that move in the video, very confused
I'm honestly not sure. I can't find any information on it, but it's entirely possible that you can kill Kraken with flash. The chances of flash actually destroying anything are pretty low though, so it's possible you just got unlucky your second time.
@@Nillerz yeahhh thought so and I could've been really lucky first time since it was the first time I used the move at all Thanks anyway I don't know much about mother's statistics or other details but thank you for the information (and very informative video BTW, Flash beta able to one shot shroooom would have been a good thing to know before haha)
@@Nillerz hello again I found the video of it happening and I have uploaded it on my channel (in case I did something to make it work or idk you are more knowledgeable about this than me) Sorry about taking you back to this btw I am just so confused
Heya, sorry for the late reply. Just got a chance to look a little further into it and found a GameFAQs post about it. It looks like you're not the only one who's been able to do it, but it definitely isn't well-known. Apparently Thunder & Storm can also be killed by flash. Thanks for the info!
Heya! Leave any questions down below. I'll answer them as soon as I can.
Do you always get the sword of kings even though it requires Casey bat and is a 1/128 item
@@WeMVP715 There's no way to "always" get the Sword of Kings, but it definitely doesn't require the Casey Bat. No matter what, your odds are always 1/128.
It's totally optional though and isn't worth it, so I wouldn't go out of your way to get it.
@@Nillerz oh ok Would you recommend any of the 1 in 128 items
@@WeMVP715 No. They take far too much time and are not worth the effort.
@@Nillerz I respect your decision
I love how half of these can just be solved by Jeff spamming bottle rockets until it’s over
Ye, jeff is extremly op ^^
Earthbound with multi bottle rockets is genuinely unfun

It's kinda a meme, but if you're able to brainshock the Diamond Dog it has a chaince to diamondize itself
That's hilarious.
YOOOOO!
Diamond diamond dog
The frank fight was Really hard for me since I was like level 5 when I did it and I beat it by the skin of my teeth
It was terrifying
Thunder&Storm is very vulnerable to PSI Flash. I used Flash beta 1-3x to instantly kill its.
Thanks for the info! I had no idea.
Same for carbon dog
Diamond Dog to, if you're lucky it'll bite and diamondize itself
*Looks on the wiki*
“What does a 99% vulnerability to PK flash mean?”
Victory.
Shrooom! moment
Nice to see some Earthbound related videos in my recommendations.

For Starman Deluxe, if you have Psi Omega on Paula, easy way to counter the Starstorm for turn 1.

I’m not gonna sugarcoat it
*Multi-bottle rocket*
I think you forgot to mention to have Poo use Brainshock on Giygas. This way, he mostly hits himself
thats genious
Another thing for Ness’s Nightmare, if you bring 3 bags of dragonite, the boss will go down easily
9:13 Ness can’t use brainshock.
You forgot you can have Gaia Beam for Jeff and Sword of Kings for Poo
Those aren't normally recommended, because they are super rare, and require a lot of grinding to get.
having used the trick yoyo and casey bat for such a big part of the game this makes me mad that i was just using a bad weapon
Another tip for entering the cave of the past, get brain food lunches, saved me.
I’m fairly certain you can use hypnosis on both Frank and Titanic Ant to make those fights easier
2:12 i did it with ness puila and jeff because i didn’t know
I killed Mr. Carpainter in one shot with Rockin' A and regretted it because it had my favorite battle music
I think I remember using Flash to insta kill Thunder and Storm (5:31)
Another note about the slingshot / yoyo for Ness: another downside about them is that you can never get a "Smaaaash!" with them. They never do critical damage. So, stick with your bats so that you also get a chance of doing critical damage.
the clumsy robot is also vulnerable to paralysis, which makes the fight a cakewalk
bro I equipped the pendants to jeff and Paula before reaching magicant I'm so cooked
If you rely on MultiBottleRockets, you should know they work based on speed. Equipping the Rabbit Foot on Jeff will increase his speed exponentially.
EB was one of those games where if at any point you decided to just sit in a spot farming enemies until you're overleveled for the area, everything afterwards becomes mind-numbingly easy
1st learned that one after trying on a run (unsuccessfully I might add) to farm a sword of kings from the super starmen in the Stonehenge base
Did you know if you encounter multiple enemies with a 1/128 enemy the chance of you getting it gets even harder?
EarthBound Beginnings Boss tips next!
Evil Mani-Mani has access to paralysis a so Ness should probably have a travel or great charm equipped and not the night pendant.
Ideally Jeff should because paralysis blocks items but not PSI
the night peandant is the best equipment in the entire game for ness and psi flash can kill him instantaly so you want protection, plus, why would you be using physical attacks on him? you can use psi and battle rockets to make this fight a cakewalk
Thanks for this
Of course!
Good video. I wish I knew some of these as a kid!
I always get so scared I buy a billion bottle rockets and go 1 shotting those bosses
In my previous run of Earthbound, I knocked out Ness's nightmare instantly with Flash Omega on my second turn...Apparently, it's a 3.75% to instant kill him with Flash Omega
i always use jeffs big bottle rocket on boogie tent... you can always go back and beat trillionage sprout
That's what I did lol
I dont think blasting carbon dog with a multibottle rocket item is a bad tactic, at least on paper, it skips half of the battle and you could probably time a full hp revive to jeff in the same turn he gets one shotted?
That’s not a bad idea. I suppose if you plan ahead of time like you suggested, a multi-bottle rocket could work.
you could also use it on daimond dog and use psi healing to revive jeff if you cant heal in time, makes the entire fight much easier
Use paralysis on the clumsy robot, its 50/50 it works and it doesnt attack that much and it should take 2 or more tries for the robot to kill ness or jeff
Ness: Attack.
Paula: Death.
Legendary bat is a good weapon for ness
Yes it is but the gusty bat is better
You can also use brainshock on all forms of giygas.
Can I be proud of myself for beating the Diamond Dog and Ness' Nightmare first try
How can you get money or hamburgers before Titanic Ant because I lost on my first attempt and used all of them up
The carbon & diamond dog is probably the worst fight I have experienced before. I had no good items such as bottle rockets or bombs, often ended up wasting PP, and I had to keep restarting for like an hour until I got lucky. I hope no other fights will be as hard as this, I just got to Magicant.
Yeah, it’s a tough fight. It’s the hardest in the game (in my opinion) so you should be good.
@@Nillerz Yeah. Only Ness and Poo survived the battle unfortunately, but at least I still beat it, right as I lost all hope.
why did the intro sync so well
using PSI Flash b it can one shot master belch
On my first attempt against the clumsy robot, i paralysed him and he literally did nothing for the rest of the fight
Fun fact I beat clumsy robot by using paralysis alpha/beta and it rendered it immobile
shield alpha is good for Everdred too
Can you do this but for Mother 3 and Earthbound Beginning
I don’t think EarthBound Beginnings has enough tough bosses and bosses in general to make a good video, but I’ll probably do Mother 3 at some point.

How much HP do the final bosses have?
pokey has 2000 and phase two giygus has 2000 as well, and of couse you have to use pray 9 times to end phase 3
Is it also fór switch
4:49 Why though?
clumsy robot has a psi shield at the start of battle
Imagine if 💩 learned fire, and multibottle rocket.

Everdred can also be skipped.
Sword of kings

To be fair i 1 shot Mani-Mani and the bosses didn't give me trouble
I might be two years late, but you can skip Everdread by just going to save Paula.

Poo can! but not Ness
