EarthBound/Fire Spring: Difference between revisions

| text=Diamond Dog is perhaps the most difficult boss in EarthBound.  This is due to the fact that he can diamondize your party members with a single bite.  He can also paralyze your party with his Glorious Light attack.  Diamond Dog starts with a shield that reflects physical attacks, so use the neutralizer on him the first chance you get.  Now you can start unleashing your multi-bottle rockets.  Just keep hitting with everything you've got and he'll eventually go down. <p>If you forgot to bring the shield neutralizer and are low on PP, use Jeff to attack him directly, make Paula pray, Poo to use PSI magnet, and Ness to either use some PSI attacks or to heal everyone. With Poo using PSI magnet, you'll gain enough pp to use more PSI attacks. Eventually his PP will be gone and the fight will be easier. Also an alternative method: NESS: Your primary healer in this fight, otherwise BASH the crap outta Diamond Dog. PAULA: Freeze, freeze, freeze. It should be your only attack with her. JEFF: SHOOT his ass! No real need to waste multi bottlerockets or anything like that, just keep an eye on his HP gauge. POO: In the early stages,when Diamond Dog still has his power shield, bash him. If you dont have the sword of kings equipped you only deal 1 damage, thus only taking 1 damage while wearing his shield down for Ness and Jeff. After the power shield dissipates, start using freeze in the hopes of solidifying him. Be sure Ness has the Sea Pendant equipped. It will stop Diamond Dogs "Glorious Light" attack while also all but negating his fire attacks too, and since he's the primary healer for this fight, he needs the most protection.</p>
