Earthbound Part 25: Eight!

OK the dinosaur appears to have wandered off. Let's make a break for the present.
SPOKE TOO SOON.
Got there!
Holy shit the presents here are amazing
That box there is a horn of life so you can start Tenda trading if you so desire. Or just have a revival item.
Also I decide that my inventory is a bit full and its time to eat candy.
I am pleased with these results.
This is the northeast corner of the map.
MOOSE gets a defensive boost because he's important.
In the next little section over...
STAT CHECK
Winrar!
Oh so close.
This dinosaur is silly.
This dinosaur is an asshole.
PERSONAL SPACE.
Lolwut?
I think you are confused about everything.
Woo more inventory!
Worth it.
HOLY UPGRADES BATMAN.
I love getting most of my money back. I don't need it by any means by it's good to have.
We do not sell the Saturn coin. IT WAS A GIFT FROM MR SATURN.
Well have I got news for you.
I was an exchange student who traveled to a country that is known as an economic superpower
This is the friend of the guy who plays store. He apparently brought capitalism and money to his tribe. Anyone who is familiar with Mother 3 now wants to punt this guy into a dinosaur mouth.
It's the same deal as the guy in Deep Darkness.
And continues to remain a non-issue.
I just grab some for the road.
And now Rocky!
Screenshots, notes, same thing.
REALLY!? NEVER WOULD'VE GUESSED!
Your destiny is not only yours...It's the destiny of the whole universe. There will be a time in which all of you in the universe will overlap each other. ...It's not necessary to understand now. Do you remember "Giant Step" in Onett? That is one of "Your Sanctuary." It is a spot which gives you power and allows you to realize all your skills. There was a monster that protected it. The monster was influenced by the power of the place. You must have beaten those monsters. You must each all of the eight power spots in the world...

Alright, thank you for the recap of what BUZZ BUZZ SAID AT THE BEGINNING. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING NEW TO OFFER?
Alright that's new. What's my world?
No stop! 1. "Giant Step" in Onett. 2. "Lilliput Steps" in Peaceful Rest Valley near Twoson. 3. "Milky Well" in Grapefruit Falls in Saturn Valley. 4. "Rainy Circle" found by TESLA in Winters. 5. "Magnet Hill" at the edge of the city of Fourside. 6. "Pink Cloud" which EREN knows. 7. and..."Lumine Hole" where the shining lichen lives in the cave. 
I know that was supposed to be impressive but it felt like a giant waste of time except for telling me where Fire Spring is. I guess if you missed one of the sanctuary spots it also helpful but I feel like the game did a good job of setting things up.
Also rocks with faces are sometimes evil.
Well that's a status fixer not a HP/PP fixer.
Hey a cave! That's more westy than southwesty but whatever.
Oh. This isn't where we're supposed to go.
Ooh box!
OOH GOOD STUFF.
Super good stuff!
And a healings!
Oh don't be a wussy. You just gotta make a run for it blindly!
See everything is fine!
You can beat the crap out of these guys. These guys are a non-threat in this dungeon.
Bad news. We can't cross lava rivers.
These guys also go down in a round of bashing but are capable of using a fire attack that hurts like hell.
And these guys cast PSI Fire and are total dicks. The purple ones are capable of putting up shields. Kill them first with extreme hatred.
Never a contest when it comes to speed.
Also INKY got the crap kicked out of her in a couple fights to bye free brain food lunch.
Oh, baby! Offense went up by 3! Oh, baby! Guts went up by 3! Vitality went up by 2! Luck went up by 2! Sweet! Maximum HP went up by 26!
Offense went up by 1! Maximum HP went up by 3!
Offense went up by 1! Defense went up by 2! Speed went up by 1! Maximum HP went up by 3! Maximum PP went up by 1!
This dungeon is a tunnel maze. And it's pretty straightforward.
And much like Lumine Hall we can't go two feet without getting attacked.
Offense went up by 2! Defense went up by 1! Speed went up by 2! Vitality went up by 2! IQ went up by 1! Luck went up by 2! Sweet! Maximum HP went up by 30! Maximum PP went up by 5!

INKY tried to catch up to MOOSE.
Always need more of that!
BONUS ROUND!
So there are three entry ways. Let's go up to the top one first.
More bonus!
To the left...
Bubberfly!
Maximum HP went up by 2!
Oh, baby! Offense went up by 6! Oh, baby! Defense went up by 4! Speed went up by 1! Guts went up by 1! Vitality went up by 1! IQ went up by 1! Luck went up by 1! Maximum HP went up by 11! Maximum PP went up by 4!
On our way out we found some shit.
Sea Pendant OP, best friend forever.
YOU DONT NEED MORE LEVELS. Maximum HP went up by 2!
Healings for the progress.
DIVE FOR THE BOX.
Maximum HP went up by 1! Maximum PP went up by 2!
TESLA can now stop things in the name of the moon. Enjoy that image.
Almost there.
Woo! Bring it on!
This is the Carbon Dog. Fire is weak to ice because it's not pokemon it's a JRPG.
So we do this. A lot.
That's the Heavy Bazooka. This thing is so good.
I had a feeling this might take awhile so I decided to buy myself some time.
Unfortunately, I suck.
Repeat.
Woo!
And we're still doing this.
What?
He transformed!? How is that fair!?
He has a shield too! I call hacks!
EAT STARS.
EXTERMINATE.
HOW MUCH LIFE DO YOU HAVE
Well after disabling his shield, we have this open to us.
And sometimes we get stupid lucky. I love being stupid lucky.
SCIENCE!
FINALLY! I WAS THINKING ABOUT CALLING THE RUNAWAY FIVE.
That is a great number. And TESLA got a level! Offense went up by 2! Defense went up by 1! Guts went up by 1! IQ went up by 1! Maximum HP went up by 1!
Maximum HP went up by 1! Maximum PP went up by 1!

Alright now that that's over, I noticed when I was fighting him my inventory was a little messed up. So I fix. Seriously, EREN need not the jerky.
Forward!
Pretty.
Buh.
Oh hey, the plot! Courtesy of someone else on YouTube.
OW BRIGHT.
Huh?
I have lost control of MOOSE and have to wait for him to slowly go up the road. Story of a New Englander's life.
And then MOOSE vanished.
TINY PUPPY!
Tiny MOOSE.
MOOOOOOOSE.
Woo booze!
Ow with the bright again!
...What.
WHY IS IT FULL OF GIANT VEGETABLES.
WHY DID THE PALETTE CHANGE.
IM 9. I DONT KNOW HOW TO INTROSPECT. I NEED AN ADULT.
Holy crap an adult!
Magicant!Tracy can somehow access our real life shit.
I mostly need an adult.
MAGICANT!MOM IS CREEPY.
RUN FASTER.
What.
Magicant!ATM can also somehow access our real life money.
We can also somehow call our dad.
Next time: Magicant.
