I’ve been at the Stonehenge Base with Ness since at level 30 and I’ve spent hours trying to get the Sword of Kings and still no luck. I just kept fighting until I gave up and I came out with Ness being at level 85 and the rest in the low 80’s.
I didn't realize there were so many 1/128 drops, a lot of them don't really seem worth it LMAO. The only one I've ever tried going for is the Sword of Kings, and the last time I played it took me five days of off and on grinding. Miserable.
I'm confused by the Moonside enemies being considered permanent. Surely they're temporary because once you finish Moonside, you can't go back? Or am I just missing something lmao
You cannot grasp the true form of Earthbound's RNG! 158 points of brain damage to Ness. Paula felt dizzy. Jeff got hurt and collapsed... Poo felt a little strange.
watching this honestly kinda makes me wanna do it earthbound is already my favorite game and i’ve already grinded for the set of kings and other things before so i do kinda just wanna have one save thats just like completely perfect i feel like that would be cool
On my most recent play through, I was in deepest darkness on my way to the volcano sanctuary, as I was right in front of it I got Paula's Ultimate weapon without even trying. So I equip it and walk towards the cave again and immediately get a second one on the very next enemy. lol
I haven't done the 1/128 challenge yet, but I have grinded for days on end trying to get the gutsy bat. I went half insane and was having dreams about it.
Watching this makes me realize I've gotten most of these drops. Just over many different playthroughs over time without trying for them except for the Sword of Kings one time, lol. Can't quite recall if I ever got the Gusty Bat though.
Earthbound being Earthbound, I was halfway expecting there to be secret code in the game that made it impossible to get all the 1/128 items in the same playthrough.
4:50 i assume you meant to put "you should NOT try winning", right? also personally i think the only item that's worth grinding for is the sword of kings, since it's poos ONLY weapon
I grinded out all the temporary drops like the Sharks and Department Store enemies. I typically grind out the Sword of Kings and broken antenna. Never seen the Gutsy Bat drop.
