Top 5 Rarest Items to find in EarthBound

EarthBound, like most RPGs, has rare item drops from enemies. While most of them can just be bought in stores or found in presents, hunting for all these items has become a popular challenge among Mother fans. What are the rarest drops, though? That’s why in this video which may or may not be the same thing I made years ago, I explain to you all what I believe are the hardest items to find in EarthBound are.

I got a cookie from a Spiteful Crow. I am the luckiest man in existence

[robmiller]

You missed an opportunity to call each of these the 3rd rarest item drop

[baileyanderson]

your voice is the way I’d expect Jeff’s to sound. Not a bad thing tho

Honestly, the Gutsy Bat should have been found in the Sea of Eden, its basically worthless at the point you get it in the game.

Here’s a tip:
When hunting for the Sword of Kings, use the times you get into a double Starmen battle as a PP farm. By that I mean set up a shield and PSI Magnet away to restore tons of PP. I recommend having Poo as your main healer because he can restore PP with Magnet unlike Ness.

The sad thing about the player's guide saying it came from the Sea of Eden was the fact that one of the screenshots show Ness IN the sea and having the bat in the inventory.

I remember I was just doing a normal play through, choosing for the sword of kings to be my only item drop to try and get. Right after I got it I unintentionally encountered a star man super and got the sword of kings immediately after my first sword of kings drop. Then I got the gutsy bat without even knowing anything about its rarity or existence, and after watching this I feel like the luckiest person alive.

Just yesterday I was playing and got the Gutsy Bat not knowing it is that rare 😆

Here is my favorite part of magicant: flying man getting one shot from the first enemy I fight because it throws a super bomb at him

6:33 Splatoon Boss And Mike Wasawaski XD

I had the broken antenna the rest of the game and was annoyed I couldn't throw it away. It was just taking up space. Not all of Jeff's items are that useful, but I am really glad I keep the broken bazooka that becomes the heavy bazooka and the broken trumpet that, weirdly, becomes the defense up spray. Both of those substantially increase Jeff's usefulness in general

[Duran]

I specifically remember hunting krakens in the sea of eden looking for the Gutsy bat, and never knew that they were dropped by that Bionic Kraken.
I've seriously played through Earthbound about 7 times in my life now, and out of those 7 times, i've encountered maybe 5 total Bionic Krakens.

The major psychic psycho also spawns with the soul consuming flame

[TheHomieLew]

My first playthrough I went out of my way to get all the max ATK/DEF equips. Hoo boy that was an experience.
Turns out you farm for a gaia beam, sword of kings, goddess ribbon...

and *THREE STAR PENDANTS*

[Slenderquil]

One strategy I always enjoyed using while looking for the sword of kings was to have poo copy the recharge robots that heal each other. That way you can heal the party basically indefinitely.

I actually got the magic fry pan after over 10 attempts. (Literally. I actually got it.)

[GreenieBoi]

With earthbound being on the switch you can use the rewind (or as I like to call the Divine Pulse button) to rewind before the fight starts, move or go into the item menu, and go back in the fight and you may get one without the need to over level or relocate the enemy you need to find

[grovers_paradise]

It is easy to heal for free in Stonehenge, use Poo’s Mirror ability on the Nuclear Robots and wait for him to “refuel a fuel supply” for the whole party

[Bandicoot]

One tip I have for getting the Sword of Kings is, even though the Casey bat is a terrible in-battle weapon due to its abysmal accuracy, it has very high attack power which contributes to automatic wins via green swirling Starman Supers when they're alone, which can allow for more amount of kills for that 1/128 drop.

[SmugKittehGurl]

I envy the person that managed to get all these items on their first try!
