Let's Play Mother 3

Chapter : The Suspicious Peddler
Part 4: Sweet Freedom

Back at Yado Inn...



...nothing has changed.



Fassad
It seems you still don't understand the situation you're in!
If you ever disobey me or try any funny business in the slightest, I'll make sure your beloved girlie monkey winds up in some serious trouble. Remember that!
Now go to sleep!



As Fassad snores loudly, Salsa reflects on how shitty his life has become.

However! That night...



A mysterious voice!

Let's try the door.





Ruthless even in sleep. How about the window?



Kumatora
That cheap bastard's asleep. Hurry here!

Kumatora is awesome. Away we go!



Kumatora
Dunno how you got involved with that lie-spewin' fraud, but you must've had your reasons, I guess. Poor li'l thing.

Wess
Princess. This is a great deed you've done. Now let's go find that lazy moron - I mean, Duster - and that egg he has with him.
I know he's alright; morons like him never get sick or hurt, no matter where they go or what they do.

Kumatora
Yeah. We just gotta find Duster and the egg. But first, let's free this monkey.



Wess
Oh, right. I should've swiped it earlier. I'll be right back.

Kumatora
You'll be free in a minute, monkey. You must've had it rough.



OH SHI-



Oh, okay.

Wess
I accidentally bumped it on the way back. Did it zap you? Sorry 'bout that.



With pleasure.





Totally worth it!

Kumatora
Alright, monkey. You can go wherever you want now. You're free.



WonderPSI powers, activate!





Kumatora
Damn that cheap bastard! He's screwed up!

Fassad
Oh, did you call for me? I happen to be that screwed-up, cheap bastard you speak of!



Fassad
Nwehehehe. You stupid monkey! Did you think you could get away from me?!



Kumatora
(Geezer. Monkey. You ready?)





Kumatora
(...Damn, they're fast.)





Fassad
After them! Don't let them escape!



Fassad
...I see. Then remain there on standby. I'll be there shortly.
Heh heh heh... there's no escape from me. Nwehe-nwehehehehe!

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away,






So our party becomes non-terrible! Wess is a pseudo-partymember, but Kumatora gives us some tankvalue AND power PSI to make up for Fassad's absence.

To the forest!



And good thing, too, since now we're up against Pigmasks in the forest. This would be a serious threat before, but Kumatora can take them out with a single casting of PK Freeze.



Also Recon Mechs, which seem to be weaker than Pigmasks, and are way easier to catch from behind.



I hear ominous engine noises...



Oh shit.

Let's try a different route...



Hrm.



Things look grim!



BOSS BATTLE TIME.



Our general strategy: Salsa uses Dance for various buffs and debuffs, while Kumatora fries the tank with PSI Thunder.



Unfortunately, the tank can do a LOT of damage. That's almost half of Salsa's health from its basic attack. It can also attack wildly, doing 30~40 damage to both of us.



Kumatora is also our chief healer here, thanks to the power of PSI Lifeup.



Wess is kind of unreliably useful, sometimes doing nothing and sometimes attacking for pretty decent damage. I can't control him, after all. Sometime he uses Secret Thief Arts, doing over 100 damage!



This annoying attack can inflict Crying on either party member, which is a minor, but irritating, status effect.



Halfway through the battle, the tank partially explodes, revealing the driver and changing its attacks a little.



And by changing, I generally mean making it worse.



The battle music has a nice and easy rhythm, making long combos not too hard to pull off.





Overall, not a very hard fight.



Hey, I'd be worried too.



Of course, there are reinforcements...
