Magic 8 Ball

The **Magic 8 Ball** is an item in Everhood. It is obtained by talking to a Lost Spirit in the Dance Club, Cart Carnival, or Cursed Castle.

The Magic 8 Ball keeps track of the number of souls still alive in Everhood. Its description initially states "28 souls are left," but this increases to "30 souls are left" when Purple Mage summons Rob and Zob.

Interacting with the Magic 8 Ball will produce dialogue.

## Dialogue

### Pre-Arm

Before obtaining Red's arm, the Magic 8 Ball cycles through five different phrases, in order. These phrases are eventually replaced with post-arm dialogue, but the pre-arm dialogue returns within the Waiting Room.

### Post-Arm

After obtaining Red's arm, the Magic 8 Ball will state one phrase. It will not move onto further phrases unless the target of the current phrase is liberated. The Lost Spirit initially found at the Dance Club will repeat the current Magic 8 Ball dialogue if spoken to at the Court of the Lost Spirits in the Cosmic Hub.

### Post-Arm, 0 Souls

After eliminating the final soul, the Magic 8 Ball can be interacted with in either the Isolation Room, Cottage, or the Abyss for unique dialogue.

## Trivia

* If the player initially ignores the V.I.P Card and instead obtains the Magic 8 Ball first, this will place the Magic 8 Ball in the first slot of the inventory, which is convenient for interacting with it more easily.
* The number 8 within the Magic 8 Ball's name is a reoccurring theme throughout the game.
	+ There are 888 rooms in the endless corridor.
	+ The thermometer during the Sun's death reads -88,888.88 °C.
	+ There are 8 unique faces of death on either side of the Door of the Dead during the opening of the Lost Spirit's Revenge fight.
	+ The player deals 88,888 damage to the Cube during the Universe fight.

## Notes

1. ↑ The dialogue exists internally but cannot be seen through natural gameplay since Flan's dialogue takes priority
2. ↑ The dialogue exists internally but cannot be seen through natural gameplay since Zob's dialogue takes priority
3. ↑ Unkillable at the Cart Carnival as "Racebot," but killable in the Dance Club
4. ↑ After the fight, the soul counter in the upper-right corner artificially increases by 1 then decrements, as a trick
5. ↑ Mandatory fight, but killing them is optional
6. ↑ Since Hand Cursor does not spawn during "pacifist mode," the fight can be skipped entirely by reaching the top of Cursed Castle before killing any souls, then unlocking the Castle Door
