George's Gravestone

George's Gravestone (also called XX Stone) is an important landmark that is found in EarthBound Beginnings. It is located right next to Giegue's lair at the summit of Mt. Itoi, and is also where the final piece of the Eight Melodies is received.
When the party arrives at the peak of Mt. Itoi, checking the tombstone will reveal a crystalline figure as a voice welcomes Ninten. He is then revealed to be the spirit of George, congratulating his own grandson for getting this far. George then tells him that he always believed they would make it and explains that the Eight Melodies were originally the lullaby that Ninten's Great-Grandmother Maria had forgotten. After that, the final part of the Eight Melodies plays, and the crystal splits up again. The crystal's glow then bathes Ninten and his friends before dissipating, restoring all HP and PP and curing any status ailments.
Once Maria remembers and Magicant disappears, Ninten and co. are teleported directly in front of the XX Stone with Giygue's Lair open.

* In the original Famicom release, Queen Mary is actually where the eighth part of the melody is learned, as she warps the party directly to her once the seven are found. Therefore, the XX Stone serves little purpose in this version.
