Mother 3/Chapter 7: The Seven Needles

and this happens after we got through with the Chimera Lab, well you know what, we did not want to see a Ultimate Chimera anyways...not in Chapter 8, we’ll know, remember if you see most powerful characters in gaming ever, oh gosh, let’s just move on, where we left off, well should of not happened, now the text we wrote last night from where we left is gone now, it should have stayed on there, lord, oh well, that happens, so don’t get mad, anyways, when out of the Chimera Lab, go right then to the north, you’ll see a wall, let Salsa do his version of the Wess dance, then it should open, on where the final needle is, oh we forgot, it’s in one of the ponds, can’t see it because there’s too much water, that’ll change later, ignore it for now and then go inside the shell house, you’ll see Kumatora and Doria, after a long talk, Kumatora and Doria will be outside, follow them, Kumatora won’t be rejoining yet, after the needle is pulled then she will, but what you to do is get the right Chimera, but make them appear when get back to Lab, Dr Andounts(where he really should be with his son Jeff Andounts because he’ll miss him, so we don’t why he’s way far out here in the Nowhere Islands and not eagleland now)will be outside the lab, talk to him, then the set of chimeras will appear, there’s one that will and the other 2 will not, choose the one that’s giraffe like with stripes, when you choose it, it’ll suck in the other water from the pond where the needle is to the other one where’s nothing, when the water is gone in the other hole by the other, get down there, but some talking occurs, after, the 2nd needle is pulled but Doria disappears because of that, after Kumatora is through talking to you, she rejoins you but Salsa is separated from you and stuck with his girlfriend and this is the last time you’ll see Salsa for the rest of the game, so say goodbye to him, bye, after the cutscene ends, head south, but farther down, a Squeekz appears, after it yells at you, a battle begins, defeat it, but it’ll talk to you after defeat, after gets through talking, it runs downwards, keep heading south and what the heck? Mole Cricket? We thought we only saw you in the Prologue, here in chapter 7 too? No wonder, follow the Mole Cricket, he’ll lead you make a hole appear where full of his family is in there, after, before you make progress, you’ll see that cheese is blocking the way, but if you talk to the Mole Cricket, after talking, he’ll battle you and he’s the same one you fought in the prologue, just one shot defeats him, don’t worry, you can lose to the Mole Cricket, it’ll just take too long because he only does 1 damage, you’ll have to guard and be extremely dumb to be defeated by him, after the match, he gives you one of his fellows, now go to cheese, then when you do, they’ll snack away at it and won’t be blocking the way anymore, go down the ladder, after going through a maze, you’ll find yourself on Snowcap Mountain, this is where things get dangerous, to find the 3rd needle, you must go north, after going north and avoid yetis on snowboards and dangerous chill dogs, go north any farther, the Mole Cricket stop you and say he’s picked some stuff along way for a incoming boss battle, which can be tough without them, buy whatever you can from him as long as you have enough DP, after buying, he’ll leave you alone, after the Mole Cricket leaves, go in the hot spring just in case if you take damage back there, because a boss battle is about appear soon and can be tough, so do as pleased, after, head north still and you’ll find Lydia, she’ll tell you where the next needle is, but she’ll also tell you to warm up, so go inside her shell house and talk to her more about the needles that wakes the Dark Dragon, after she is through talking to you, exit her shell house and you’ll be outside instantly, you hear a earthquake, in the next screen, you’ll see that we were too slow and the masked man pulled this needle, some time, Lucas and gang approach him and turns around after some Pork ships leave then suddenly, a mecha robotic gray Gorilla with strong black ball hands appears and will fight the heroes, then the Masked Man leaves, be prepared as this is one of the tough boss fights in this chapter, be prepared and when this robotic gorilla touches you, a battle begins.

{                                        Steel Mechorilla                              }

{Level: 40} {HP: 2860} {PP: 0} {Offense: 164} {Defense: 68} {IQ: 32} {Speed: 30} {EXP: 9432} {DP: 710} {Vulnerable To: PK Flash, PK Thunder}

{the Steel Mechorilla hits for a tons of damage and is a difficult and very long boss fight, but as long as you focus on bashing, the things it’s weak against and healing, then you should be good throughout the fight without any issue, main problem: this gorilla hits like a monster truck, so try not to die. The Steel Mechorilla is vulnerable to PK Flash and PK Thunder, that’s all we can give you, good luck, try not to die and it’ll eventually be defeated.}

After the Steel Mechaorilla is defeated, Lydia reappears that...we know, gosh, too many cutscenes in this chapter already, it’s like play the game already, good lord, after she gets finished talking, you ride down Snowcap Mountain in a refrigerator to the Tazmily Village graveyard, upon landing, next place you must go is down a tombstone in a tunnel, after running, you’ll enter Nowhere Island’s Saturn Valley, it’s different but almost like the one in Earthbound snes, but closely related, upon entering, this is where you’ll find Duster and let him rejoin you, but you’ll have to find him first, once you find him, he’s captured by Pigmasks, defeat them and rescue Duster, he’ll rejoin you, go around in a cave then back out, seems like there is wall staples, but too it’s high, Mr saturns appear and they stack themselves high enough where Duster can reach the wall staples, once they get up there, head north and enter yet another shell house, you’ll see Phrygia just sleeping there on the bed, you can’t talk to her while she’s asleep, read her sign with her words and she says pull the 4th needle andbshe’ll disappear while asleep, interesting! After, exit her shell house, then after running, you’ll find yourself in Fire Mountain, that’s where the next needle, after some running and avoiding fire enemies, but get any closer to needle and...Fassad? Ok, he did survive the fall! Good gosh, but why is he just floating and why does he have horns? Oh no! He’s up to no good! Also prepare yourself for another difficult boss fight, this one is harder than the one you fought a while back, actually it’s not Fassad, it’s new Fassad, when new Fassad charges at you, a battle begins. Prepare yourself!

{                                        New Fassad                                       }

{Level: 45} {HP: 3182} {PP: 364} {Offense: 164} {Defense: 78} {Speed: 45} {EXP: 11121} {DP: 1200} {Drops: Luxury Banana (100%)} {Vulnerable To: PK Flash, Bombs}

{New Fassad is bound to give you headaches, but why is he new Fassad for a reason? anyways, if his HP starts to get too low, he’ll recover with a Luxury Banana which makes this already really hard boss fight drag on for too long, watch out for his bombs he throws, he does a ton of damage, so careful just like the other one and you should be fine, New Fassad is vulnerable to PK Flash and Bombs even though he’s throwing bombs at you throughout the battle, good luck and you’ll need it, then you will eventually beat him. After New Fassad is defeated, he drops a Luxury Banana.}

After you beat him, he just flies off, seeing you in Chapter 8, pull the Needle and a cutscene will play or well...or somewhere, a Pork ship flies down with green Pigmasks inside come out of it and your...or well again if this doesn’t take too long, your transported to a corner, run and try and leave Saturn Valley, but rocks are blocking the way where you need to leave, no, we are not trapped here, ok run back and talk to one of mr Saturns, when you have found the right mr Saturn to talk to, the Mr Saturn will tell to find a Birdie, once you have found a Birdie, go back to the Mr Saturn, he tells you to wait in the Hot Springs, talk to the mr Saturn in the Hot Springs and no not coffee, just say yes, after all the text scrolls upwards, the screen scroll a little to the left, a mr Saturn will appear out of the cave to the left, he’ll talk to you but will give away your Courage badge, sorry Lucas, sometimes, we know we know, then he says your birdie cage is all done, go where the birdie cage is and a cutscene will play, after the cutscene, and you fall land on the beach, also yes, we are not going on an Acid trip like you say, skip that one, after you’ve completed it off camera and beaten the Barrier Trio without Acid trip thing with the mushrooms, you come back here anyways, yeah, this is taking long, once back there, you must head to Mt Oriander Cave, once get you there, Lucas and friends trip, but get back up safely, don’t worry, but they drop a jar of pickles, they must find it, this is only time in the entire game that you control Boney alone, so have fun while it lasts, while it is short-lived, it’s still fun, anyways, you must sniff everywhere until you find it again, once you have found it, head north, but you must enter a cave of where you are supposed to go in Mt Oriander(note: there was a weak enemy known as Negative Man in the small room sitting on all fours, but do not fight him as he has high HP but really extremely low Offense and average Defense unless you want to fight him for fun)go around avoiding the dangerous enemies unless you want fight them for EXP, otherwise prepare yourself for a incoming boss battle soon, otherwise a go across a bridge to reach Ionia’s house, she’ll tell all about you and the other guys, then she’ll get the jar of pickles from you, after a long talk, head back and Mr Saturn will appear and block the way, you won’t go toward the 6th needle until you talk to him, so talk to him and he’ll give you the Franklin badge, this will come in handy through the rest of this extremely long sadness gba game, Be mindful of that. It’s like it does in Earthbound snes, it reflects lightning attacks back at the user, once Mr Saturn leaves, you can downwards, then go upwards, oh no! The Masked Man is trying so hard to get this needle that’s inside this Temple with his clayman, but suddenly Lucas and gang appear, but the Pigmasks and a Pigmask Colonel attack them from getting the needle and any closer toward Masked Man, defeat them and approach the Masked Man, but be prepared for a challenging boss fight, once Masked Man fires his lightning from his beam sword but his lightning gets reflected back, he attacks aggressively, jumps and lashes forward and a battle begins

{                                   Masked Man{1st time}                                       }

{Level: 65} {HP: 5000} {PP: 999} {Offense: 165} {Defense: 120} {IQ: 64} {Speed: 43} {EXP: 15474} {DP: 1321} {Vulnerable To: PK Thunder}

{Masked Man is a challenging fight unless you have a strategy on know how to beat him properly, if you have shields out during this fight for way too long, he’ll use his shield killer to get rid them, it’s harder than it looks, stay on your toes during this intense fight also, his most damaging attack is his PK Love, it does a crazy load of damage, watch out! But then you’ll win, the Masked Man is vulnerable to PK Thunder, use that, but be warned...ok ok OK, but don’t get angry though if some of them misses and fails to hit him, sheesh Kumatora, please, good lord, as long as this strategy, then he’ll be defeated.}

After you beat the Masked Man, he flies off and and you won’t fight him again until the final battle where you must survive instead then you’ll win, anyways, after he flies off, go inside the Temple and you’ll find the 6th needle just lying there, go forward, but Ionia tells you she’s going to disappear soon and she’ll give you a item that if your HP(doesn’t effect the other 3 when their HP 0)is 0, you’ll get revived again, but you only have 6 of these, so watch out escpically during Chapter 8, after that, Ionia disappears, pull the needle, but something will appear outside the Temple and by surprise, a floating car appears, after talk, they get inside and fly off, this...oh sorry, ok, we didn’t know and now it won’t be a full chapter 7 without the beginning part, it happens. Thank you, don’t be sad and angry, anyways, after they fly off in the car in the sky, Chapter 8 is next and the final chapter in the game, but it’s definitely the hardest, they save the hardest chapter for last, now after the cutscene and playing around in the flying car ends, chapter 8 starts, prepare yourself!
