Peaceful Rest Valley, and a suprise

Peaceful Rest Valley is the biggest outdoor dungeon yet. It's a very weird place, with the vaguely threatening music over the sound of rushing water, and the strangely beautiful contrast of the pale grass and the purple water.

It's surprisingly labyrinthian, and it's filled with useful goods and, of course, deadly new baddies. Those that are not alien in origin are sentient plants, perhaps made so by alien meddling. Giygas, what are you UP to??

Some of the enemies here also have wild, careening movements, veering back and forth. This makes them very difficult to outmaneuver, but because of the nature of Peaceful Rest Valley, they might get caught on flora, rocks, and other obstacles. You can use choke points to your advantage here to elude enemies and pick your fights more careful.

PROTIP: Grab the Teddy Bear from Paula's bedroom back in Twoson. For as long as you have it, it will receive damage instead of you, about 100 HP worth. Be sure and grab it after you've gotten the Pencil Eraser, so as not to waste it.


These Mobile Sprouts aren't so tough, but they can use PSI Magnet to steal you PP and heal themselves with PSI Lifeup. They can also sow seeds around multiply, so you don't want a bunch of these guys stealing PP and healing each other. That would be the worst.


The Li'l UFO is not only quick and evasive, but it shoots a beam that causes nighttime stuffiness. That's right - it gives you a cold! You sneeze and suffer 4 HP of damage every round. You can cure yourself if you have a cold remedy, or if you've learned PSI Healing.


The Territorial Oak is one of the most ridiculous enemies in the game. Not only can it hit hard and lower you offense and defense, it also bursts into flames and explodes upon defeat, hurting everyone. You are guaranteed to take a hit when fighting the Territorial Oak, and any Teddy Bear you have is destroyed. Tread softly, and scroll through text quickly to minimize damage.


Spinning Robo is basically like Li'l UFO, though it can also put a Shield on itself. Also, sometimes it drops... WAIT, WHAT



Guys, I--

This is my 10th time playing this game. And I have never gotten this item before.

This is so exciting.



Well, it turns out the only thing to do with it is sell it for $1000. Not A LOT of money, but enough to add plenty of wiggle room to my next shopping trip.

I almost want to keep it for posterity.
