EarthBound/Giant Step

Path to Giant Step
The cabin leading to Giant Step was locked because of Frank. Well now that Frank has been defeated, the Mayor will be willing to give you the key to the cabin. Head to City Hall (check your town map for directions) and talk to the Mayor on the top floor to receive the Key to the Shack. Make sure to stock up now on Hamburgers.

Head northwest toward Giant Step and when you arrive at the cabin unlock it with your newly acquired key. One of the guys in red will give you a Travel Charm if you talk to them. This Charm will protect you with Paralysis, but does not increase your stats.

To the Top
There are three types of enemies inside of this cave and they can be fairly difficult. The easiest enemy you fight will be the attack slug. They always attack in groups, but are very weak. Just take them out one at a time and you'll be fine. You may also fight Black Antoids. Be very careful of these as they can pack quite a punch. They also tend to come in groups and can deal up to 13 points of damage every attack. Take them out quickly. Be careful not to confuse the Antoids for Attack Slugs when walking around. Both enemies look like little dots on the ground. The final type of enemy is the Rowdy Mouse. This enemy has a tendency to SMAAAAASH often for 13 damage, so be extremely careful.

When you enter the cave you'll notice a tunnel to north. Enter it for a Skip Sandwich. Head back the way you came and keep going left. The tunnel to the left on the bottom floor leads to a dead end, so just climb the rope to the next level. Head to the right and enter the next tunnel entrance for a Cold Remedy. Once back out into the main cave area, take the rope up and enter the tunnel entrance on the top level. This will take you outside of the cave.

Enter the cave from the next entrance and you'll find a Hamburger. Continue along the path, climbing two more ropes and you'll encounter your first "Your Sanctuary" boss, Titanic Ant.

After you defeat Titanic Ant, you can exit the cave to find the first "Your Sanctuary" location. The melody will play and your Sound Stone will record it automatically.

You must now head back to Onett, but it might be a good idea to stop and train some more. You'll notice that the enemies all run away from you now. Use this to your advantage by attacking from behind to gain the upperhand. This is an effective way to gain a few levels and a decent amount of money before heading on.
