Part 37A - Beginning of the Seventh Sanctuary Cave to just before the boss battle
Part B (boss) - youtube.com/watch?v=mStwF_rqFss
The Rabbit's Foot is armor that can be found only in the Seventh Sanctuary Cave just before the Shining Spot. It increases Speed by 40 and can be a lifesaver against an enemy that appears near the end of the game. Have Paula hold on to it until then.
The Uncontrollable Sphere has a 1/128 chance of carrying the Broken Antenna, which can be repaired into the Gaia Beam, Jeff's most powerful weapon (65 IQ required; Offense +125). If you want to grind for this item, it should be easier to do so after defeating the Sanctuary boss.
Notes:
0:27 - Fobby: weak enemy. Recover Paula or Poo's PP with PSI Magnet Ω.
0:42 - This hole leads to a Super Bomb.
0:53 - Conducting Spirit: can use Flash ß and Thunder γ. Defeat it quickly with Freeze or Starstorm, especially when facing two.
2:22 - IQ increases max PP at the next level up.
3:10 - Diadem of Kings: armor for Poo. Defense +20 and Luck +30. Slightly increases resistance to Fire and Freeze.
4:51 - Luck reduces the success rate of some enemy attacks.
5:15 - Uncontrollable Sphere: can use Fire ß. It explodes upon defeat, so attack it last.
5:55 - Hyper Spinning Robo: if it uses Shield ß, have Paula use Freeze ß.
6:42 - Rock Candy: use with a Sugar Packet or a Jar of Delisauce to increase a random stat by 2. There is a glitch that lets you use a Rock Candy an unlimited number of times. See - http://walkthrough.starmen.net/earthbound/pinkcloud.php
7:20 - There is a ladder to the left that leads to a Cup of Lifenoodles and a Luxury Jerky (recovers 300 HP).
7:23 - Bottle of DXwater: recovers 40 PP for Poo. Recovers only 1 PP for Ness or Paula.
8:38 - Jeff doesn't recover as much HP as the total he drains with the Hungry HP-Sucker because the drained HP is added to the amount displayed by the rolling HP counter at that time (source: starmen.net).
My rules for this walkthrough:
1. I don't use Big/Multi Bottle Rockets because I think they make the game too easy. My hope is that not using Bottle Rockets will give you a better sense of what each boss is like and make these videos more interesting.
2. I avoid level grinding as much as possible. I point out when I think I'm under-leveled.
