Heya! Leave any questions down below. I'll answer them as soon as I can.

[kayys..]

I love how half of these can just be solved by Jeff spamming bottle rockets until it’s over

[Hotelgaymario]

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

[minerturtle]

It's kinda a meme, but if you're able to brainshock the Diamond Dog it has a chaince to diamondize itself

[Nathanixehh]

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

[jtoadgamer]

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

[mnfalah]

Thunder&Storm is very vulnerable to PSI Flash. I used Flash beta 1-3x to instantly kill its.

[jamesonshekmeister]

Nice to see some Earthbound related videos in my recommendations.

[NoTraceOfSense]

I’m not gonna sugarcoat it

*Multi-bottle rocket*

[spaghettiwarrior]

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

[tasselhoff]

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

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

[HellspawnHamm]

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!!!

[piyushmenon]

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?

[NessyBoy]

Thanks one my first time playing this masterpiece of a game i some how beat the kraken first try and didn't know were to go after betting it and i only had four melodies so thanks bro. Also love your channel keep up the good work god loves you :)

[SwiftyShawn]

I think you forgot to mention to have Poo use Brainshock on Giygas. This way, he mostly hits himself

[victor_f]

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)

[fravonzonbonn]

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

[boogerspaz]

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)

[SuperSomieStuff]

Another thing for Ness’s Nightmare, if you bring 3 bags of dragonite, the boss will go down easily
