This is a guide on how to get the Sword of Kings in Earthbound. Before we start, here’s a few things you should know.

1.The Sword of Kings is the only useful weapon for Poo (You can equip him with bats and yo-yo’s, but they just make his offense go down.)
2.The Sword of Kings is a 1/128 weapon drop found only by defeating Starman Supers
3.Starman Supers are only found in the Stonehenge Base in Winters
4.Once you defeat the Starman Deluxe at the end of the Stonehenge Base, all the enemies disappear from Stonehenge. This means you have a limited time frame to get the Sword of Kings.
5.Due to the way statistics work, you can get the sword on your first try, or you can get the sword on your 5,000th try. Just because it is 1/128 6.doesn’t mean you’re assured to get in on the 128th try.


Okay, now to start with the actual guide!

So, the first thing you’ll want to do is to go to the Stonehenge Base in Winters. You’ll be able to find this above Dr. Andonuts’s Lab.


Once you get there, you’ll want to use the Eraser Eraser to get into the base. I won’t give a walkthrough on how to get through the base since this is the Sword of Kings guide, but here is a map of the base:

You’ll want to go to the middle part of the base, just past the purple floors, to farm the Starman Supers. The best place to farm will be the top part, in between the entrance and the broken harmonica present.

Here are some tips:

1.You won’t be able to tell if an enemy is a starman super or normal starman from the overworld, so just go for both.
2.Try avoiding the atomic power robots. They basically just get rid of your health and don’t help much.
3.The starmen and starman supers teleport rather than approach you directly. This is useful because you can get green swirls easily. Try going just outside of their teleport range once they teleport (You’ll learn this range early on) and then approach them from the side. This usually gets you a green swirl, and you can beat them easily.
4.Try equipping the Casey Bat for Ness. It misses 3/4 of the time, but if you approach them and get a green swirl, you’ll get an instant win. This will make farming a lot quicker and easier. If you end up getting a grey swirl, you can always switch back to your normal bat while in battle.
5. Starman Supers usually give out about 7,500 exp. Normal Starmen give you about 5,000.

After a (usually long) amount of time, you’ll get the Sword of Kings (it took me over 3 hours!). It may take a very long time, but if you keep on trying, you’ll get it eventually. Plus, once you get it, you’ll be leveled up a ton, and beating the Starman Deluxe at the end will be a piece of cake.  Good luck!

This is a very good guide, I, personally would rate it 10/10 of a game guide. No matter how long it is. Quality over quantity, just remember that friend.

   This Game Guide seems rather short but it also seems long enough because you were only telling s how to get that one specific item. Though one thing I really liked was that you used a lot of pictures and showed us where to go and other stuff of that sort. Since I am a visual person I think that might help people a lot. I did not like how big some pictures were with your small layout. Your text space in the layout kind of made some of the pictures really hard to see all of the way.
 
   Good Game Guide though.

awesomeguy279 : Thanks! It's not really supposed to be a large game guide, just a few tips to get a certain item. I know I probably should have used a different layout for this post, and made the pictures smaller, but I don't know how to do that. But thanks!

fireking1058 : Thanks a bunch!

This game guide is very good! It explains very well how to get the sword of kings and anyone needing help getting it should look at this wonderful guide. You did a really nice job.
