Mother 3 - Ch. 3 - Torn Apart
0Well things certainly got dark quickly, didn't they? After a healthy deluge of rain, the fire spreading throughout Sunshine Forest was at last put out. As night drew near, it became apart to Flint that something has happened to Hinawa and the twins.
A desperate search finally reunited Flint with his two boys. But shortly after, Bronson is bearer of bad news as he announces to everyone Hinawa was violently killed by a Drago. Flint undergoes some sort of mental break and begins attacking anyone who tries to subdue him. He is knocked out by Light from behind.
In a dream sequence, Flint sees Hinawa slowly fading away... What's gonna happen now?? Let's find out...
CHAPTER 3 - TORN APART
Flint awakens in a jail cell. Bronson tells him he is the first ever to use the cell. He tells Flint to remember to pass by his house later and pick up the Drago Fang. After he leaves, you need to check the table in the cell and the the little window in the door twice. This should cause Claus to enter and give you an apple. As you eat it, you'll find a nail file. Use it on the lock on the door to bust out.
After I leave the jail cell here and save at the frog, take note. The dialogue box here was added by me. There is a short tutorial on how to get the 'Better Stick', which is the best weapon found in 'Chapter 1' of the game. I had a little fun with it, so I hope you enjoy.
What we need to do now is head to Hinawa's funeral, located in the cemetery to the north. Speak with Alec. By now it's obvious that Claus has gone after the Drago that killed Hinawa. Alec tells you to find some sort of weapon to fight a Drago with and then meet him at his place. Mapson can mark Alec's house for you on the map, but it's basically at the very top.
There's a couple of things you can do before leaving town. If you haven't gotten the Better Stick yet, you have an opportunity to get it now using the method shown in the video. Additionally, you can get a 'Thunder Bomb' from Wess (his house is located on the top of eastern side of town). There's also a hidden Thunder Bomb behind his house. Head to the beach on the west side of town and speak to Lighter, he will give you a 'Manly Bandana'.
Most importantly though, you'll have to swing by Bronson's house (to the left of Thomas' Bazaar) to grab the Drago Fang. That should just about do it. Now we'll head back to the forest. There's no need to climb the Wall Staples ladder up the cliff. Instead take the other path that has been cleared of fallen trees.
When you arrive at Alec's house, he will join your party. He sometimes chimes in during battle, but you have no control over him. Nor does he have an inventory, stats, or HP. He tells you that he thinks he knows where Claus is, but he needs to go see some friends of his, the 'Magypsies'. You'll need to backtrack from Alec's house a little bit.
You'll notice two frogs next to a little stream. Talk to the one on the right to summon a whole row of frogs. Now you'll hop over the stream to the other side. You'll notice on the map here that there's a house. It's actually a very unique shell-shaped house. We'll enter, but we're gonna call it right here.
Hope you got the Better Stick! If you did, you'll certainly notice the difference. The 'Manly Bandana' also gives your offense a little boost, so don't forget that too!
Join us next time for 'Ch. 4 - Race Against Time'.
