EarthBound/Onett

Path to Onett

Experience Points

It is possible to gain levels by means of experience points. Experience points are awarded to each participant in a won battle. The amount of experience points awarded to you and your allies add up depending on the number of enemies fought. Remember, should one or everyone in your group run out of HP, they will not be awarded experience points.

Once a certain milestone of experience points is reached, your level will increase. The more battles won, the stronger you become!

After leaving Pokey's house, the sun will rise and a new day will begin! You don't have to go back to your house, but do so anyway. The cameraman will take a picture of this moment for later.

Before heading for Onett, try increasing your level by walking around the hill and battling animals. Coil Snakes, Runaway Dogs, and Spiteful Crows will provide a lot of experience points and butt kicking needed early in the game. Runaway Dogs give the most experience points. Remember that you can restore your HP and PP at your house by talking to your Mom. Being at level 3 or 4 would be recommended before going to Onett. Also, before you head out, visit Lier X. Aggerate. He'll lead you to a giant statue. Ignore it for now; it will be important later.

Begin heading down south, toward central Onett. Just before you enter the town, you will see the library. Go inside and talk to the woman at the desk. She'll give you the town map.

TOWN MAP A handy town map. It can be used in Onett, as well as other towns. You can view the map quickly, simply by pressing the X button.

Central Onett

Go to the left and north of the library and you'll see a house sticking out of the trees. If you stand directly below it and walk up, you'll be able to enter this house where a kid will give you a Mr. Baseball Cap!

MR. BASEBALL CAP ($199): Defense goes up by 6.

Head south to the drugstore (check your new map to find where it is). Withdraw $130 from the ATM and buy a Tee Ball Bat (selling your Cracked bat as well) and Cheap Bracelet and equip them both.

TEE BALL BAT ($48): Offense goes up by 8

CHEAP BRACELET ($98): Defense goes up by 5

Go to the Burger Shop and buy 5 hamburgers (if you don't have enough money, just buy as many as you can). Now head south toward the arcade. There are lots of Sharks here. At Level 4, fight them one at a time. At Level 5, fight various sharks at once. Try to fight Pogo Punks more, they drop hamburgers. At Level 7 go into the arcade. Make sure you have at least five hamburgers with you for the upcoming boss battle.

Once inside, fight the sharks on the first floor (and the one on the second). Fight the Yes Man Jr. blocking the back door to get to Frank.

After you defeat Frank and his machine, he will restore your HP and PP for free behind the arcade.
