Can you beat Mother 3 without using PSI or items?

The last video of the Mother challenge trilogy. Can these ordinary kids (and dog and man) save the world with their bare hands?

Flint with his cowboy strength beats up a dinosaur with his bare hands

[masterblaster]

he forgot that in the part with salsa he could had just defence all the time until fassad ends the fight

11:46 I can't say I wasn't expecting that

[Jim_the_guy]

This turned from a exp grind to a everyone's health is running on a timer challenge

For the final boss, the Masked Man actually has a very low chance of missing his attacks, so if you were to save state your way through the fight and get good RNG you might be able to beat it without healing.

I still can't overcome the end of that game I always cry with it

27:11 Magypsies Memento! It can't be used by "Goods", it uses itself when you are fainted. This doesn't collapse with rules because... because the only rule about items - "YOU can't use it", when Memento uses itself, not you directly). Also it is strange that you didn't use Defend option in Salsa's first boss battle. There's no rule "no defending" and Salsa is dealing 0 damage comparing to Fassad, but defending gives Salsa much more time to stand alive(about 2 times), when by attacking Salsa speeds up beating Cactus Wolf up by a little bit(like by 2%).

Chie being kumatora was freaking perfect

Him: is on level 52 in the beginning
Me who is still on level 42: -_-

The _very moment_ I saw the title, my immediate thought was "That Pork Boss guy from Chapter 5 is gonna fuck your shit up".




...And then I remembered that this is an RPG game filled with EXP bags waiting to be opened. Good to know the -Pillar Men- -Column Fellows- -Kars and the Juicy Bois- Barrier Trio is still a challenge, though.

Great thumbnail
Interesting video
Fun execution
This is the type of mother content i live for

[sporeever]

The fact that Mother games let you pull this (thanks to the scrolling health mechanic) is super cool.

[Astral]

It doesn't matter what the context is, I literally cannot watch that last fight without crying.... Good series regardless tho :')

I am a simple man.
I see a Persona character, I click.

People find Mother 3 so easy that they are doing challenge runs of it, meanwhile here I am trying to get past Oh-So Snake in Osohe Castle

[ImCrowned]

As soon as this popped up in my recommended, I read the title and knew it wasn’t possible with the masked man battle.
I will say that its insane how long you can pull through with guarding.

[Jacobturtle]

Defending would be very useful for this lol

[Prehistoricninten]

Fun fact: this challenge could be possible, while you were grinding the beanlings you should have saved just before Lucas and bones leveled up, since the amounts of stats gained is a bit random, so you could keep resetting for the best stat increasing

[nightfrenzyow]

Oh man, this challenge is definitely nightmare fuel of one of my favorite games, congrats on "beating" it! You deserve more subs.

Hey, new idea for this type of thing:

Mother game WITHOUT using bash.

You can use PSI and Items, and Run or Guard if you need to, but doing it without anything Physical, including Thief Tools, Brute Force, etc.

As someone who practically exclusively played Mother 3 with Bash unless I needed to do otherwise, this would be a tough challenge for me.
