## Old Sataene

### First Appearance

Chapter 1

**Old Sataene,** often referred to as the **Saturn Swamps**, is what seems to be a large city overtaken by a huge population of painful fungus. The citizens have long since packed up and moved to what is now Sataene. The second Point of Power can be found in the southern area, while Malik's house and Larice's crashed ship can be found to the northwest.

Similar to the Deep Darkness in EarthBound, much of the terrain in Old Sataene causes damage to the party upon walking through it. The sticky green fungus does 2 HP per step while the darker green ooze does 5 HP per step, making this a dangerous area to traverse. The jump flowers found commonly here can be used quite effectively to avoid the hazardous terrain.

Like other areas on Saturn, the map here changes over the course of the story. After Chapter 1, the southern area will "flood" with fungus and become inaccessible until Chapter 7.

### **Googly Spore**

*"Its large, bulbous eyeballs make it a perfect bouncing fungus scout."*

**Attacks**: Charge, Spin in circles, Call for help, PSI Hypnosis α

A common enemy in Old Sataene, found only during the Chapter 1 visit to the area. Pretty harmless, and its tendency to call for help can make it easy EXP if you want to grind a bit. You can find them in the Deep Spring in large groups.

### **Battle Fungus**

*"It was trained for life and death combat, but usually paces about with no enemy."*

**Attacks**: Charge, Nauseating spore

Not quite as annoying as its spotted brethren in EarthBound, but its nauseating spore attack can get annoying. Sometimes shows up with Woogly Spores. There's also one that just hangs out in the south area of New Sataene for no real reason.

### **Semi-invincible Claw**

*"The horror of the swamps. Sataene citizens left to escape it. No vulnerabilities. Just run away."*

**Attacks**: Rip and tear, Charge, PSI Lifeup α

This claw has no overworld sprite and can be encountered randomly in the dark green fungus. Its high HP, Strength and Defense make it a tough encounter for early-game players: if encountered in Chapter 1, it really *is* best to run away. Defeating it drops a worthwhile prize, however, for the Braggart's coin is one of the best "coin" items in the game.

### **Woogly Spore**

*"The red color is supposed to represent that it is filled with strawberry pudding."*

**Attacks**: Charge, Scatter spores

This spore only appears in Chapter 3, making it a monster that can be easy to overlook. True to its scan description, it drops delicious Strawberry pudding every so often upon defeat (which is cool if you're a fan of that sort of thing). Not terribly dangerous, though like the other spores it can cause status effects.

### **Globboid**

*"Though it looks like a big fungus spore, it actually contains only a cloudlike mist. Vulnerable to Fire, beams and electricity."*

**Attacks:** Charge, Smog, PK Beam β, PK Freeze γ

Because apparently the devs weren't satisfied with only *two* spores. Globboids only appear during Chapter 7, when the southern area of Old Sataene opens up again and allows the player to access Deep Spring again if necessary. Their PSI attacks are annoying, but like the other spores, they're small fry.

## Trivia

* The houses that are submerged in deep *f*ungus will respond with "(Glub...)" when Alinivar knocks on their doors.
* "Sneaky Saturn" is the name of the abandoned shop that Alinivar finds the Ninja bandanna in.
