Mother 3 - Ch. 27 - Mountain Excursion
0Last time, we crossed the ocean (using an underwater breathing method I'd rather not discuss) in order to reach Tanetane Island. We pretty much immediately ate hallucinogenic mushrooms after arriving and were hit with some pretty weird stuff.
That last boss fight was a doozy and I'm afraid it doesn't get any easier from here on in. In my research of this game, a lot of people seem to get peeved at how the difficulty spikes in the second half of the game. What awaits us in the sixth needle? Let's find out...
CHAPTER 27 - MOUNTAIN EXCURSION
Now that you are back on familiar dry land, head east into Tazmily Village. Most of the people have gone off to live in New Pork City. Look for Mapson near Sheriff's Office and he will mark your next destination. The way to Agrilla Pass is through Sunshine Forest. Make your way there, and keep heading north towards the cliffs. When you try and cross the small wooden plank bridge, Kumatora recognizes the area. Take the now open west path.
Argilla Pass is also known as Stumble Pass. And it is named so because as soon as you enter it you stumble and fall. It appears that the Jar of Yummy Pickles was dropped. You take control of boney and going on a digging spree. Check each of the flashing lights. Once you find something bring it to Lucas to have it identified. You can find a few items such as a Made-u-Look, a Rotten Eclair, Recollection Bell and a Heavy Charm. The Jar of Yummy Pickles is the last shining spot behind the large center rock.
At the crossroad there is a hot spring, a Save Frog, and a Mole Cricket shop to the west. To the east is a path leading to a cave. Once inside the cave go east to find the Cave Map.
If you keep walking the path between the sauna and the crossroad, you can come across the rare Mystery Metal Monkey. You can beat him for some good experience.
There are a few presents in this cave. Go up the small stairs and keep heading west to find a Magic Pudding. From here go south and follow the path outside. Once inside again grab the Goddess Bustier. Backtrack to the first room and take the east path. Go north and then take the slope and go into the cave. Sticky Slugs will rain from the sky in here! Grab the Striped Collar and Cup of Lifenoodles. Backtrack a bit and continue to go south until you are outside again.
In the room north of where you found the Goddess Bustier you can find Negative Man. He is very negative about things is a big push over. He's just a quirky enemy - you don't get anything special for defeating him.
Once outside again follow the path north. You will come across a wall covered in vines. Forget about it for now and head back south and the east. Grab the Magic Tart form the present. Cross the small bridge to find a Save Frog, a Mole Cricket store and Ionia's shell house.
Speak to Ionia and hand over the Jar of Yummy Pickles. She will tell you that the next Needle is in the Chupichupoyoi Temple. In order to get past the vines, you are given the Waters of Time. Head back outside.
As you start to cross the bridge, a Mr. Saturn gives you back your Courage Badge. Which turns out to be a Franklin Badge! Head back to the vine covered door to the north.
Back at the Chupichupoyoi Temple the Masked Man and the Pigmasks are trying to open the door. You seemed to have interrupted their efforts and are attacked by a Pigmask Colonel and several Pigmask Majors. Take em down quickly.
BOSS FIGHT - Pigmask Colonel (HP - 895), Pigmask Major [2] (HP - 721)
After you defeat all the Pigmasks, the Masked Man will attack with his sword again. But the Franklin Badge deflects the thunder! But the fight is not over yet as he now attacks Lucas and company!
BOSS FIGHT - Masked Man (HP - 5,000)
This fight is hard! I grinded in order to get the 'Mythical Stick' for Lucas and was able to bring everyone to at least Level 50. This got me some advance PSI techniques like 'Lifeup Ω', which certainly helps.
Tired and defeated the Masked Man retreats. Use the Waters of Time on the vines to open up the temple. Go inside and approach the Needle. After a long discussion with Ionia it is time to pull that Needle.
After the Needle is pulled Lucas learns PK Love Ω. Ionia also disappears but leaves you her memento and some final words before she goes. Locria, the missing Magypsy, is nearing the final Needle. Suddenly, some strange music begins to play...
END CHAPTER 7
Yup, that finally ends 'Chapter 7', which brings us to the last chapter of the game! Time for us to take a break though. There's only five videos left before we're done...
Join us next time for 'Ch. 28 - New Pork City'.
