Kraken killed Ness and his friends cried for his death.

Accurate

Thanks, Moonsidian, I did not know PK Beam γ could insta kill. I must watch out for that in my Earthbound Beginnings run.

Thanks for the upload!

And the Masked Man _still_ gets a turn after that shit. Wow.

Hello, you missed the PK Fire Omega from Mother 1, it is an instakill attack to all enemies. I think no enemy in the game uses it but Ana does.

[@thecrimsoncreep]

Doesn't one of the Freezes do the same?

[@elpirataretro8734]

@@thecrimsoncreep Nope, Freeze Alpha and Beta do damage to a single foe, Gamma leaves an enemy at one hit to be killed, but does not kill, and Freeze Omega is damage to all enemies.

Mother 1 can be a good game, but I think its usage of instakill attacks is just bad game design.

[@elpirataretro8734]

I like it as a narrative explanation to why Giegue's army is so dangerous, all higher level troops use Beam Gamma and while no enemy uses in game PK Fire Omega, I would think some enemies somewhere else were using it.

[@antoniofederighi-jy1qd]

@@elpirataretro8734 You have a fair point. At least when it comes to the lore.

[@АллаПрокофьева-ц2ч]

Uhh why Starman Jr (Encore) is not included?

[@nostalgicgaming2000]

Because it is not a K.O one but a high damage one.

[@АллаПрокофьева-ц2ч]

​​​@@nostalgicgaming2000 Oh that make sense then.
Encore (only demo available) has some mechanics from Earthbound (Mother 2) and Mother 3

[@funnymonke651]

Mother encore is a fan game

Did anyone lose their entire party (all 4 members instantly defeated at once) on one of Giygas' attacks once?
I know that would be absolutely TERRIBLE bad luck right there...
