  • For Mother 2's 30th Anniversary, I decided to attempt the 1/128 challenge. This is the ultimate test of patience, getting every single rare item drop in Earthbound. Join me as I go through the process and break down how I beat this challenge.

      While true, I think it's a good weapon to be stuck there.
      Having so much in the way of Guts turns Ness into what is practically 300% chance to crit and 110% chance to live every hit

    One tip that many people forget is that Jeff's Spy command can also find items from enemies. It works the same way as items dropping, though, so you can't Spy an enemy for the item and then kill them for a second chance: if that enemy wasn't going to drop the item, you won't get it by Spying, either. However, Spying does allow you a chance to get the item without actually fighting the enemy. So annoying enemies like Chompasaur or Bionic Kraken can be made a little faster by just Spying.

    Earthbound being Earthbound, I was halfway expecting there to be secret code in the game that made it impossible to get all the 1/128 items in the same playthrough.

  • @EarthboundX

    Watching this makes me realize I've gotten most of these drops. Just over many different playthroughs over time without trying for them except for the Sword of Kings one time, lol. Can't quite recall if I ever got the Gusty Bat though.

    So I’m confused. I hunted for the sword of kings, got it in less than 40 encounters, then I got a SECOND one unintentionally. But when I tried to hunt for the goddess ribbon, it took over 900 encounters just to get the WRONG DROP.

    I remember doing this challenge myself a few months ago. Those damn Dali's Clocks took me about 400-500 encounters (I lost count). Ness and Jeff were like, level 70 at the end of it. I have the image of Moonside permanently burned into my brain. Seeing you get it so quickly is... something. (Definitely not seething with jealousy right now)

    While I never did the full challenge I did once grind for all the ultimate gear. This was at a time where the online guides were not very good and I will never forget that some stupid guide said that the Ego Orb was who dropped the Broken Antenna. The Ego Orb is a rare spawn that appears in the same area as the Chomposaur. Eventually I had multiple Magic Frying Pans but no Broken Antenna and I said "Okay something is clearly wrong here." Thank goodness I found a different guide with the correct information in it and got it quickly after.

    This tip doesn't help you out too much, but when you have multiple enemies that perhaps could drop the same item you could use Jeff to Spy on the enemy and he'll see a present behind the enemy. Hope this tip could help out someone.

    its insane that a "1/128 chance" still might not happen, even after twice as many attempts (or even up to 350+, apparently)...but i wonder what the Average would be, given that there were a lot of Lower numbers (like ~50 attempts) to balance it back down...
