SCENE 13 - AS EASY AS ROCKET SCIENCE

Location: Duncan's Factory

Maps: Map 1

THINGS TO SEE AND DO:

- There are many Capsules here. While it might be best to save them for a full party, some can really help you out now.

This place is HUGE! You can easily get lost in here, so it's almost essential to start dropping bread crumbs. The foes in here can be ruthless, as well, so the crumbs may offer a safe escape.

If you take a look at the map, you'll notice the plethora of items scattered throughout the factory. While the items may look good, your priority ought to be to get to the upper left corner of the factory. If you can survive the battles just fine, however, feel free to indulge in a little exploration. There's some great swag here, including the reusable Super Spray that instantly K.O.'s bug enemies!

As you've probably found out, the foes here are adept with PSI. The Fireballs can use PK Fire a and the robot-type enemies can use PK Beam. While the fire can be defended against with an H2o Pendant from Magicant, the Beams hit hard and eat up your PP for healing. Stay above 40 HP at all times to avoid a nasty death and don't feel bad if you need to retreat -- this is a trying area!

While the Bomber enemies may not appear to be terribly menacing, they can toss a Bomb in your direction, dealing possibly up to 60 damage to BOTH Ninten and Loid. While the H2o Pendant cuts this down by half, the damage is still great, so be extra careful around them. If Loid is low on HP, have him defend, as that also cuts the Bomb damage in half.

While you're climbing to the top, make plans to get at the very least one item here: the second Franklin Badge. While the item hasn't been useful beyond the Starman Jr. battle thus far, it'll help out immensely in the future.

After a long, long trek, you'll reach the top. Inside the left-most door sits a lone rocket. If you Check it, Loid will fire it up and it will fly out of the factory, crashing into the earth (hopefully) on the large rock north of Merrysville. Phew! Now that you've bested the factory, follow your crumbs back to the entrance and head back to Merrysville for some much-needed healing!
