SCENE 17 - MILKING A WELL

Location: Milky Well

Maps: Map 1, Map 2



Behind Belch there will be a tunnel inhabited by Mr. Saturns. It will lead you out into Saturn Valley, to the high place you couldn't reach before. Make sure you wash yourself off in the hot springs, you smell pretty bad after fighting Belch!


Before you do anything else, go down the now-fixed ladder and head back out toward the hotel. Make sure you talk to the Mr. Saturn near the cave entrance! He'll fork over the special things he promised you before, including a valuable Mr. Saturn Coin. Make sure to equip it.


If Jeff has an IQ of 24 or higher, sleep repeatedly at the hotel until he fixes the Broken Laser into the Laser gun. If he doesn't, sleep anyway. Call Dad, Mom, and Escargo Express, and have them pick up the Jar of Fly Honey and any other items you don't need any longer.


Now go back up to where the hot springs are. There is a Mr. Saturn who will offer you coffee. If you accept, you'll receive a message telling you about your adventure and what's next. What do they put in this coffee, anyway?


When you're rested up and ready to go, go into the cave north of the hot springs. Be ready for some tough fights. If you get in a fight with a Struttin' Evil Mushroom, use PSI Fire or Ness's special to toast them immediately, because they will almost always Mushroomize you on their first turn.


If you get Mushroomized early in the cave, you can turn around and go back to Saturn Valley. If you use the hot springs it will take away the mushroom. If you're mushroomized after you get out of the cave into the open, just bear with it and continue on.


Just before you reach the boss, you'll come across a present containing a Coin of slumber, a useful defensive item. Equip it on whoever's defense is the lowest right now before you fight.


Before long you'll find the Shining Spot and the Trillionage Sprout. This is a tough boss! If Jeff still has the Big Bottle Rocket, fire it now. If not, use regular Bottle Rockets, the HP Sucker, PSI Fire or Freeze and PSI Special. (DON'T use PSI attacks if the user is Mushroomized!) If you are Diamondized, it's just like being knocked out. There's nothing you can do about it, unless you have a Cup of lifenoodles.


If you can finally muster enough strength to fell the Trillionage Sprout, you'll gain passage to Milky Well, the third "Your Sanctuary" location. Record the message and then leave. Pick fights with the enemies that run away from you to build your exp. You should have a level in the high 20's by now.
