Grinding to Level 99 in MOTHER « EarthBound Beginnings (3) TheNessEB

In M2 and M3, it’s relatively easy to get to lvl 99. However, in MOTHER, it’s insanely difficult just to get Ninten up to lvl. 35 to learn Super Healing for the final battle. Has anyone ever got Ninten and the entire party to level 99? What enemies did you grind on? How long did it take you?

Why am I even typing here? I can’t even think of anything marvelous.

    I myself haven’t reached level 99 before, mostly because I’m not nearly that patient.

    don’t

      You might enjoy reading through this thread. It talks strategy and gives a “winners circle” of people who’ve accomplished this. There’s even a guy who leveled up PIPPI to level 99!

          What level do you need to be at to beat the game? Also I don’t think its very hard to level up. I’m looking at the walkthrough to see where to go, and I noticed I am way higher of a level than he was at that point. I’m just about to head to the desert and ninten is almost level 40. Loid is level 35. And ana is level 23. All you need to do is once you get to reindeer, go into the cave where the train goes through, and grind. Its faster than grinding in places with weaker enemies. But you got omega saucers and ultrabots

            To beat the game, you’ll do fine after level 40, so long as you collect EVE at Mt Itoi.

            Levelling up gradually gets harder and takes longer, an there is a certain level where the time it takes starts to rise dramatically. I think it’s around level 30 that things start slowing down. But if you want to get to level 99, then say goodbye to two weeks of your life.

                Did you mean to copy your previous post?

                As Jovis said, as long as Ninten is at level 40 or above, you should be fine, although it wouldn’t hurt to get Anna and Lloyd into the high 30s either. If you’re almost at level 40 before you’ve even gotten to Advent/Yucca Desert, you’ll have few problems going forward.

                  On my official cart, I’ve made it all the way through Holy Loly Mountain and got the last two melodies and then needed to go BACK and grind so that I could fight the dragon. I’d recommend level 30-33 for your first playthrough, though. I was around 36 at the end of my first one.

                  But if you’re at 40, Ninten should already have Super Healing and LifeUp Pi, which, uh… The game is basically cake with anyway. You’ll be fine. :P

                    Upper to mid thirties. Ninten should at least have Super Healing by the end.

                    Anyway, I haven’t made it to Level 99, but I am attempting to do so. I’m grinding on Mt. Itoi, because I would figure that the final area would give more exp, but I don’t really pay attention enough.

                    I’m close to Level 40.

                      I don’t see the point to grinding to level 99 other than being able to say that you did it

                          I would try to get Anna to level 35 – that’s when she learns her last PSI technique, and by that point you’ll should have little problems. Unless you want to try to grind to higher levels, and you can do that until you feel comfortable with their stats.
