STATUS AILMENTS

There are many different kinds of status afflictions your characters can get in EarthBound Zero. Many of them have unique effects and can only be healed in certain ways. Below is a list of these status ailments and how to deal with them.



ASLEEP

When asleep, you can do nothing. It will take a few turns to wake up again.

Healed By: Healed at end of battle; Healed after a few rounds in battle; Healing &pi
ASTHMA ATTACK

Only Ninten can get this status effect. When breathes in vehicle exhaust, this makes him unable to fight.

Healed By: Healed at end of battle; Asthma Spray
BLIND

Caused by Darkness, this status causes physical attack accuracy to go down.

Healed By: Healed at end of battle
COLD

Some people pass this onto you if you speak to them on the overworld. Characters with colds suffer 1 HP for every 8 steps taken.

Healed By: Doctors at Hospitals; Mouthwash
CONFUSED

You go crazy and may attack anyone in battle, including your party. Brainshock, Brain Cyclone, Wicked Seeds, and Rockoyle attacks may cause this ailment.

Healed By: Healed at end of battle; Noble Seed
PARALYSIS

Whoever is paralyzed can do nothing at all, and if the whole party is paralyzed then it's game over.

Healed By: Healed at end of battle; Healing β
POISONED

Those afflicted lose 1 HP for every 8 steps taken. Foes who use the PoisonNeedle item give this, chiefly the venomous insects.

Healed By: Doctors at Hospitals; Healing α; Antidote
PSI BLOCKED

If a character gets hit with PSI Block, they cannot use PSI powers for the rest of the battle.

Healed By: Healed at end of battle
PUZZLED

You daydream instead of fight, wasting turns. Only Titanian, Woodoh, and Kelly can give this status to your characters.

Healed By: Healed at end of battle
STONE

Your character turns to stone, effectively giving him/her the unconscious status (akin to paralysis). If the entire party becomes unconscious or stones, it's game over.

Healed By: Blue-haired healers; Healing γ
TIED UP / STUCK

The tied up or stuck character exhibits the same effects as those under paralysis: Inability to take actions in battle and counts as an unconscious state. Unlike paralysis, though, this automatically heals.

Healed By: Healed at end of battle; Healed after a few rounds in battle
UNCONSCIOUS

You done died and if the rest of the party dies then game over. PK Beam γ and PK Fire Ω can cause this instantly.

Healed By: Doctors in Hospitals; Super Healing
