I found Onett leading up to Paula much easier than when I was a kid. I think it has something to do with not using the slingshot...

Hit or miss Clitoris posted:Nah, better way than the ketchup and salt is taking solo Jeff, saving your Big Bottle Rocket for the first Cave Boy you see, and eating picninc lunches they drop every fight until you don't need them after every match (or go to Dr Andonuts' Lab and use the Instant Revitalization Machine). Then save those up those picnic lunches until you can buy all the better equipment from the Drug Store next to the school. I think I got Jeff up to a higher level than the rest of my party that way, and the solo experience boost really helps. You can actually get backwards on Tessie?

It was really clear they were just teasing those midgame items.

Maybe I am just rocking, but I haven't done any grinding because the monster experience has been plenty. The only point that caused a real problem for me was fighting the Onett police force, not including the Captain who was easy. Also just had a battle where my party was crying and the enemy kept calling for help. The letter notation went through A to H twice before I finished the battle.

Curious, has anyone done a non-bottle rocket run? I feel like the game would be more challenging, at least with bosses.

DarkHamsterlord posted:I want to share my appreciation for the Mad Ducks, who do nothing but silence you and drain your PP, yet they're all over that little mini dungeon Jeff goes through by himself. I actually got poked in the eye by one last night for 8 damage with Jeff, so they potentially do damage...

My latest playthrough has yielded me an insane Jeff: fast, hits as hard as Ness, and IQ gains almost every level. This will make my no bottle rocket run easier.

So Moonside wasn't as horrible as I remembered it, nor the Department Store. The mole jokes were even funnier as an adult.

So. Um. First time against Kraken, used Flash Beta. He instantly died. I'm not sure anyone will believe me. I don't believe me right now.

No bottle rocket run has been pretty easy overall, and I've grabbed the Sword of Kings, Broken Antenna, and Magic Frying Pan so far. Do I go insane and get three Star Pendants?

Just shoot for the Hard Hat, and it makes the rest of the valley pretty easy. Hamburgers and teddy bears are your best friends.

Eric the Mauve posted:^ The Sword of Kings also never misses, so there's that. Compare to the Gutsy Bat, which is awesome but also only obtainable near the end of the final dungeon and thus totally useless for anything but bragging rights. An easy procedure: - Savestate such that you isolate a Starman Super (or two) that doesn't move toward you until you are closer. - After every attempt of spying, reload the savestate, reset the RNG by pressing B twice (opening/closing the status screen), and savestate again. - Repeat the last step until you get the Sword of Kings. It takes me about 10 to 30 minutes after figuring this procedure out to get a few othef rare items (Broken antenna, Magic Frying Pan). I've yet to figure out a good way of isolating the mob for Star Pendants, though...

Goodpancakes posted:So, theoretically, you can save state before a swirl touch with the enemy on the screen and reload, press b twice, and engage? I was unsure if the present is loaded when the game creates the enemy off screen. But swirl touch will make getting that fry pan easier. Just be sure to press B twice after each fail and savestate, to keep the RNG going.

TheRationalRedditor posted:It absolutely is the same without a reset. Monsters will even follow the exact same battleplan over and over, like it's pre-determined before you encounter them. It's generating numbers randomly, you just saved that particular string of numbers in your save state. For whatever reason, opening the status window changes it up.

I just settled for one Star Pendant and blasted through Magicant. My only regret was not bringing the Franklin Badge, but I managed to survive. Goddess Ribbon and Gutsy Bat, you're both mine! Note: The passageway before Carbon/Diamond Dog includes a Major Psychic Psycho when there's two mobs, so after defeating the boss, it is a great place to farm the pendant(s).

Srice posted:All of Duster's tools are incredibly useful. Defense/offense down are insanely good and most bosses are vulnerable to at least one other status debuff he can do. Not using them is just making the game harder for yourself! This is the truth. It also makes the game a bit more tedious as you spam a bunch of debuffs...
