Mother 3/Chapter 5: Tower of Thunder

Chapter 5 starts where chapter 4 left off with the image of Thunder Tower shooting Lighting and then as the gun circles toward the southwest and shoots more them, then a flashback appears with Duster approaching a junky clayman, crouching down and grabs something and goes back where he came from, flashback ends with Lucas and his friends on unknown Valley, after talking, go back south and don’t go into Unknown valley just yet, after so much backtracking to Tazmily Village, go to Ohsohe Castle, once inside, go to the top and you’ll see that Mr passion is back? We thought we killed this guy in chapter 2 and why is he wearing red clothes and not white clothes? Say hello to Lord Passion, not Mr Passion, if your ready to fight him, step ahead, if not, come back to him after you have made yourself stronger, you don’t have to because he’s a optional boss but he’ll drop a extremely good item for Duster only in this chapter if you do defeat him, but be warned, he’s more powerful than mr Passion himself(Note: you can’t fight Lord Passion at all after Boney takes his clothes off just leaving him there being undefeated and you won’t be able to fight for the rest of the game, so do it while Boney has his clothes on because Lord Passion can’t fight dogs, only humans because he’s a ghost), be ready, once you talk him and say no and not sing music to him, a battle begins. Be ready!

{                                            Lord Passion                            }

{Level: 24} {HP: 2897} {PP: 0} {Offense: 82} {Defense: 43} {IQ: 45} {Speed: 34} {EXP: 1086} {DP: 280} {Drops: Mystical Shoes} {Vulnerable To: Crying, Fire}

{Lord Passion is tougher and powerful than his brother, he’ll use his baton to increase his offense and defense just like mr Passion, he’s tough and powerful and he has tons of HP, so it’ll take a while and you might die easily, he doesn’t play around, if you don’t find his weaknesses first, then he’s tougher and powerful, if you do, he’s vulnerable to crying where his attacks will start missing more often and Fire well because ghosts hate not just sunlight, Fire as well, anything light and Fire based should work, as long as you stick to this strategy then Lord Passion should go down in no time. Lord Passion drops the Mystical Shoes after defeat.

after Lord Passion is defeated, he’ll drop the Mystical Shoes, equip these to Duster in which they are only obtainable in this chapter, after that, get out of Ohsohe Castle, run through Tazmily Village, then make back to unknown Valley, after running through a cave with a hot spring, once back outside, there’s powerful enemies here, grind here but try not to die as they might be more powerful than you are, like the kanhasharks, they hit like a truck, but drop a lot of EXP when defeated, Unknown Valley dangerous, so be careful, watch your HP and you should be fine, after getting through the first painful Unknown Valley screen(the first screen before when your about to enter the 2nd screen Boney takes his clothes off, if haven’t defeated Lord Passion, do it now because once Boney takes his clothes off, you can’t fight him for the rest of the game and the next screen, a cutscene appears where Duster shows a average hole on the ground then it’s over), in the 2nd screen, jump the hole on the bottom left, it’ll lead you where you need to go, after exiting it, a cutscene appears with Duster approaching the junky clayman once again, Duster, you already did this in the flashbac-nevermind, some time after Duster keeps talking about this egg of light thing but suddenly a lightning bolt strikes behind him, knocking him down to the ground, then the junky clayman springs to life going crazy and hitting walls for a little bit then it leaves to the next screen where we need to go, whew, that was crazy! Anyway, after the cutscene is over, go into the next screen and yet another cutscene appears, can we just play already? after yet another cutscene is over, you approach thunder tower and the Clayman that runned away ran away with the egg of light, why do they need it so bad? Never mind, approach Thunder Tower but you can’t get to it, you must go through more narrow paths in Unknown Valley to get to the darn Tower(better than damn), how big is this valley? good lord! Next screen, you run under a bridge, then you’ll reach another clayman factory just like in chapter 4, welp, time for work again, save at the save frog before progressing, after you saved, prepare for work or do you not have to? Well you don’t have to because when you go through door, you’ll see 3 Pigmasks guarding the entrance to something, don’t worry, when you approach them, they won’t fight you because not all pigmasks are bad, some are actually good, some time, 1 runs off, the blue Pigmask appears and tells them to change out of the clothes their wearing right now into commander clothes, it turns black when changing because you don’t want to see Lucas naked anyways, GOT IT? Thank you, then they put them on, after some talking, head inside, you can talk to pigmasks if you want, but your too late, once you get outside, a cutscene plays and shows a clayman holding the egg of light your looking for but a Pigmask takes it away, drives away in it’s truck, so hurry and catch it, after the cutscene is over, run through a road, you’ll enter a tunnel, don’t run into enemies inside the or you’ll engage battle unless your more leveled then they are, then you can tample them over, after running through the end of the tunnel, you’ll see a pork bean a Pigmask will ask you to go after the truck with this, say yes and hop in and go after that truck, but apparently it doesn’t last long and what else was inside was a fierce Pork Trooper, it’s like he might destroy you and indeed he will, get ready for an brutal boss battle unless you brang DCMC items then it’ll be a cakewalk, otherwise prepare yourself for a brutal one if you don’t, the Fierce Pork Trooper hits like a monster truck, once he’s ready, a battle begins! Prepare yourself!

{                               Fierce Pork Trooper                                          }

{Level: 25} {HP: 1758} {PP: 0} {Offense: 125} {Defense: 46} {IQ: 15} {Speed 25} {EXP reward: 1548} {DP: 620} {Drops: Pickled Veggie Plate} {Vulnerable To: DCMC Merchandise, PSI Fire}

{Fierce Pork Trooper is powerful and brutal unless you have DCMC items, rely on a lot of bashing and healing, be warned, he eats away HP from you fast, if this was an actual RPG and wasn’t a RPG with a scrolling HP countdown timer, it’ll subtract instantly and you’ve would been dead already just like in Mother 1, yikes! Anyways, even if you don’t have them, the Fierce Pork Trooper is still Vulnerable to PSI Fire, don’t worry, if you rely on these strategies, the Fierce Pork Trooper should be defeated In no time.}

Once the Pork Trooper is beaten, he says he’ll beat you next time, then he runs off and slips on Banana peels and goes off screen, after that, go back to the Pork Bean and after searching for the right way to go, finally you find the junky clayman that has the egg of light, but won’t hand it over easily(note: this is a mini boss, don’t worry, won’t take that long to beat it)you have to battle it, once it charges at you, a battle begins! {                                Forlorn Junk Heap                         }

{Level: 30} {HP: 1818} {PP: 48} {Offense: 122} {Defense: 45} {IQ: 15} {Speed: 27} {EXP reward: 2534} {DP: 728} {Vulnerable To: PK Fire}

{The Forlorn Junk Leap isn’t that hard, just PK Fire on it and you should be good because it’s Vulnerable To it, just be sure to heal because it does hit a lot for a miniboss, keep at this pattern and take away it’s HP on zero this way and it’ll be no more(caution: we forgot, this mini boss is protected by a defense shield which prevents from dying throughout this fight, with it, it increases it’s Defense, use a shield killer if possible to lower it’s defenses)}

Once the Forlorn Junk Heap Clayman is defeated, finally we got the egg of light, took long enough, after talking, head north up the ladde-or we just teleport in the Pork Bean....ok then...? When back Inside the Pork Bean...hey wait! We thought that this thing crashed back when the Fierce Pork Trooper stole it fro-never mind again, guess we just got it back somehow? Ok then! Anyways, while in it so this doesn’t take so long, head...gosh darn it, forgot it was just part of the cutscene and controls by itself, finally! no more cutscenes, too many cutscenes in this chapter, after getting off the Pork Bean, finally it’s like just play the game already, lord, anyways, head north by the blue building by the blue Pigmask, if you have time, talk to the blue Pigmask, but he all he says is entrance to Thunder Tower and threw away though, better not trust him, ignore him and go inside the entrance of Thunder Tower, Thunder Tower is huge, so you may get lost or your just going upwards, but still be careful, ok? Thank you, a elevator will take you to the first floor, wait and then go west(note: save at the save frog just in case, you don’t know what trouble you’ll get into), wait, before going west, talk to the Pigmask by the elevator, he’ll tell you information abou-jeez, oh well, ok go west for real(note: healing capsule advice just in case If you took damage, leave it like that, so don’t waste food and addition PP, so you’ll survive this place, ok? Thank you, do it)and you’ll see a present at the bottom left of this room, open it and get a Tower Sketch, this is important later, head north, if want to save, do it now because another challenging boss is going to come up soon, so save and head through the door, in this room, you’ll deal with a small puzzle, push one these whatevers escpically the 1 by the door from behind, a heart icon will appear above it, but you’ll battle it anyways, once you defeat it, well should’ve....uhhhh nevermind or we’ll be stuck, avoid the other guys, still go north and head into the door, prepare yourself, this is the room where the boss is in, well it’s the same boss but he’s blue and not pink, so same strategy with DCMC items if you some still and he’ll go down quicker, but he’s even more powerful and has even more HP, oh please, get a hold of yourself, after he’s defeated, make your way up the ladder, you’ll the outside of Thunder Tower, where look like a contruction site, cool huh? Alright, that’s enough, it’ll take a long time to get up there in this vertical section, first...ok you know what? Go sorta north upwards(note: the other way is if you want to see workers and screw enemies that may attack you, so don’t go that unless it’s for fun, otherwise progress and go where you are supposed to go)and go up the ladder, inside, this is Master King P’s room, it has earthbound snes references, a hot spring in the middle, save frog on a balloon and Ms Marshmallow, Ms Marshmallow is a optional boss, you don’t have to fight her as long as you don’t steal the friend’s yo-yo for free out of the case, just so you won’t die, talk to the save on the balloon and save and make sure you heal in the spring after the last boss, once you steal the friend’s yo-yo out of the case for free, Ms Marshmallow yells at you and a battle begins!

{                                        Ms Marshmallow                           }

{Level: 30} {HP: 2300} {PP: 0} {Offense: 110} {Defense: 46} {IQ: 23} {Speed: 35} {EXP reward: 2864} {DP: 824} {Drops: Friend’s Yo-yo} {Vulnerable To: Saltwater Gun, PK Thunder}

{Ms Marshmallow can be hard and tough if you don’t how to deal with her, well as you find what she’s Vulnerable To first then she’s not that bad, just remember, bash and heal, Ms Marshmallow is Vulnerable To Saltwater Gun if you have one because she’s a robot and robots hate water and PK Thunder, even with these strategies, that’s all were going to give you, just good luck and she’ll eventually get defeated, Ms Marshmallow Drops the Friend’s Yo-yo you almost stole out of the case to you}

After Ms Marshmallow explodes and gets defeated, she doesn’t give you friend’s Yo-yo instantly, without her, you’ll have to steal it for real, then it’ll be yours, the friend’s Yo-yo belongs to Lucas, Equip it to Lucas, this can be either good or bad for the main boss of this chapter that’s about to occur when you reach the top of Thunder Tower, once done, head north, in the main base of Thunder Tower, watch out for the electricity things going across the floor, they’ll stop you if you run into them along the way to the top, 1 part when going to the west Lucas stops, gets shocked and learns PK Flash, this move is useful because it either 1 shot enemies, make enemies not move and stop crying, but it costs a lot when using, be warned, if it misses, it’s your fault, be careful and don’t play it risky, alright, just keep upwards(note: remember to save at the save frog near the chapter boss for sure if you don’t want to get sent farther back, it’s the hardest chapter boss of the game, prepare yourself, thank you)where you can’t anymore and you’ll see a generator in there, if you destroy it, Thunder Tower will stop working, that’s a good thing because lightning from that gun on top needs to stop firing those lightning bolts or Tazmily Village will be destroyed like that, but we won’t allow that! Once you interact with it, it’ll show itself, get ready, this is the hardest chapter boss of the game and final boss of chapter 5, we’ll show you why, some time, it’ll look at you and attack you, then a battle begins!

{                                       Generator                                    }

{Level: 35} {HP: 3333} {PP: 0} {Offense: 120} {Defense: 55} {IQ: 35} {Speed: 38} {EXP reward: 4389} {DP: 840} {Vulnerable To: PK Freeze}

{The Generator is the hardest and toughest main chapter boss of the game and final boss of chapter 5, why the Generator is deadly is that every physical attack you do to it, it will take the damage and run, but it will reflect it back at you, so what do you do? Not giving up right now, heal and focus, The Generator is Vulnerable To PK Freeze, just use that move that move, but watch your PP, use PP items if possible, it’s important, with those, good luck and it has a lot of HP, good luck on that too, then it’ll eventually get destroyed(note: after you damage where it is almost dead, it’ll stop functioning, unable to attack and lie there until you defeat it for sure).

After the Generator is history, all 4 run because Fassad appears that they destroyed his Generator and corners them again, not this again Fassad, we have almost had it when this son of a bitch, anyways, some time, he says it’s time he and then had met each other or was it before? We are not gonna ask, now he says that his ride is here as he speaks, he eats one his Luxury Bananas but accidentally drops it on below him because there’s no garbage can, when his ride is about to come, he accidentally steps on his own Banana Peel and falls off Thunder Tower, ouch! I hope he’ll be okay and survives the fall, some time after, the Pork Bean appears and Lucas and friends grabs and hangs on to the rope part, but doesn’t last long, the Pork Bean shakes them off and they fall as well, as long they land on a pile of leaves then they should be fine, some time after, a mysterious evil Masked Man appears and peeps out of the Pork Bean, could it be Lucas’ brother Claus after 3 years or is it another boy but as a Masked Man, some time, he goes back inside, after some text that goes upwards, the chapter 5 begins, proceed to chapter 6, the shortest chapter in the game.
