Earthbound Giygas boss battle + Ending

I finally beat the game. It was a pain in the butt and i fail at teleporting. Video editing didn't go good at the beginning, Sorry bout that. the ending wasn't the easiest thing to do. I didn't know when it would end. Also, I didn't know when it would end.

Who said the Franklin badge can’t grasp it? It’s just the characters who can’t. Inanimate objects don’t feel fear or any of that.

[@WitherVideos]

Mr. dr.Therapist Oh, sorry!

[@amiamagi]

The first boss was supposed to be the leader of an evil game room. Starman Jr. isn't a boss by theoretical means. Starman Jr. just attacks Buzz Buzz, and not Ness, as what he says. But if you don't care, I can accept that Starman Jr. is the first boss, the Runaway Dog is the first enemy, Then Giygas is the last boss, and the Final Starman is the last enemy. And the actual first enemy is... a lamp. And the actual last enemy is... your brother.

[@usamimi-no-majo]

The fucking choice of words is what scares me the most. "Giygas cannot think rationally any more, and he isn't even aware of what he is doing now. His own mind was destroyed by his own incredible power." "And you...You will be...Just another *meal* to him!" Like holy shit, chill. Or PK Freeze, I guess.

[@janogabor7697]

That is just a carbon copy of Sultan Azathoth from the H.P Lovecraft mythos. God in the centre of all things chaos it self. So powerfull they call him idiot because he is so powerfull he does not care nor can. His mind is not important anymore, he is in no need to have emotions of anything. Only thing he can do is sleep in the centre of all things. Please not ask how a celestial Horror got in a kids game. Still I love they did it, very good choice of inspiration.

[@usamimi-no-majo]

What story does this Sultan happen to be from? I'd love to read it, I'm a huge fan of Lovecraft.

[@janogabor7697]

Azathoth appears all over Cthulhu mythos and Dream Cycle as the prime god. The first novel I read that he was mention in was Hounter of the dark: The main character thinks back the story he heard about him when he had a weird hallucination and noctambulism.

0:22 Hear me out, but what if that's NOT Ness that Giygas is mocking, but maybe it's NINTEN. Giygas doesn't know Ness, so when he sees him, he thinks it's NINTEN, later learning who it is when Pokey says his name.

[@taeee5492]

Underrated Comment!!!!

[@UnknownSource3]

No, because Giygas says his name directly. Also he wouldn't be able to tell, since Ninten has his hat to the left, while Ness' is to the right, which is the only way to tell Ness and Ninten apart.

[@tertsientertamint4280]

I am no longer scared of this boss because of what happened when me and my friends played. We have Paula the Franklin badge since we needed her to stop dying so quickly from PSI Thunder, and we had given her the sea pendant which makes her almost completely immune to freeze and fire as well as completely immune to PSI Flash. Once we got to the second faze only Ness and Paula where left and we barely got to the third faze. Ness goes down and Paula has no life noodles or horns of life items making her the only one left. We start noticing that Giygas is barely doing any damage and that's when I realize that there is literally no way Giygas can kill her and even if he got close she had a hand-aid which would heal her completely. We all start laughing as I inform my buds about the situation, and we start praying and eventually win. Once the ending scenes start we all point out that the inter-dimensional space demon from space hell was defeated by a Ten something year old girl who prays a lot... best fucking ending ever in my opinion.

This ending is so damn good because Giygas is defeated, but is still undefeatable. The player's intervention is like a deus ex machina, the game breaks its own rules, its own canon to be able to offer a good ending. That was, actually, the best way to make a boss defeatable when the character isn't.

[@linkthehero9644]

+Tabbender Still the good thing is Ness and his friends get back to their homes but what's disappointing is Porky has escaped into an absolutely safe capsule where he could see every era from 199X to the future. So he gets to see Lucas' time and after until the end of his life or world because he now won't be able to die of age. Also another good thing is that he betrayed Giygas and he was the one supporting Giygas through power and evil.

@@saturniidspectre the inspiration behind this "Giygas" character was based on a traumatic experience the creator of this game had as a child involving him walking into the wrong movie theater and watching a scene of a movie where a woman was being murdered. He was confused and had convinced himself that it was a rape scene which explains the design and other stuff of this character such as the whole uterus thing before approaching giygas or giygas himself being designed almost to resemble a fetus.

the part where everyone prays for ness' safety is interesting, this is like the "power of friendship" ending but it's so different because no one actually gets stronger because of that, all they can do is pray, it's like giygas is a demon or something

[@matthewquach2705]

Giygas IS a demon: he became so immensely powerful that it destroyed his body and mind causing him to lose his sanity as well as his physical form. That's why the entire battle depicts Giygas as a background because his form has become incomprehensible as a result of losing his own body. His death further demonstrates this as it turns into static as a result of his insanity coming to an end.

[@johnx140]

​@@matthewquach2705 man that is some bullshit. Where does this idea that people lose control over themselves when they get stronger? Minds get broken from trauma and damage, not upgrading smh this storytelling trash bruv ima make a book better than this in a day brb rela quick

[@hadookin47]

​@@johnx140It's not a human's mind, Giygas is an evil alien who's able to harness unimaginable endless power. In the game PSI is pretty much a form of magic, it's like Giygas's form dinsintergrates as he dissolves into a dark force you can't fully see or understand. It's otherwordly and unstable. Not the same as say, a human who trains with discipline to control their mind and behaviour as they get physically stronger. Giygas is inhuman, unnatural, and grows into the pure enbodiment of evil.

I had a dream last night with some real nightmare fuel. I call it "The Giygas Pill". It's about this rare, red, sphere-shaped pill that grows on a bush. If you eat it, you will be taken to an unknown area of darkness with Giygas-related things flashing in front of you. You can stay as long as you want, but when you decided to return to the real world, you will be weakened. You move much slower, you find things more stressful, and your vision will be tinted red. There is no-known cure to this "Giygas Curse", except another rare, rectangle shaped white pill that grows on a bush. If you take it, all the effects go away. I think this would make a good SCP...
