Beating Steel Mechorilla hints and tips for Mother 3

Beating Steel Mechorilla

I have heard that this boss gives some people quite a bit of trouble. I know an easy way of beating it, though, and it goes like this:

1st turn~

Lucas uses PK Sheild[Alpha] on himself

Kumatora(I named her Mercy...very unfitting name) uses Offence Down[Alpha]

Boney uses a Saltwater Gun, if he has one.

2nd turn~

Lucas uses PK Sheild[Alpha] on Kumatora/Mercy

Kumatora/Mercy uses Offence Down again

Boney starts to throw bombs or other explosives.

3rd turn~

Lucas uses Pk Sheild[Alpha] on Boney.

Kumatora/Mercy uses PK Freeze[Alpha], although, if she has it, use Freeze[Beta]

Boney...keeps throwing bombs/other explosives.

***Renew shields if required!

4th turn~

Lucas uses Defence Up[Omega], raising everyone's Defence greatly, he may also renew Shields.

This makes the Steel Mechorilla's attacks quite weak. Therefore, healing isn't much of a concern.

Kumatora/Mercy keeps using PK Freeze, although she may use PK Lifeup[Beta] to heal if at all needed. She can also use Defence Down[Aalpha], making the others' attacks more powerful.

Boney attacks, either with his standard attack or explosives.

***Renew shields if required!

5th Turn~

Lucas tries PK Flash. If succesful, it should give the Steel Mechorilla the 'Crying' status. Its attacks will most likely miss after that.

Kumatora/Mercy Keeps using PK Freeze.

Boney attacks/uses explosives.

***Be sure to renew shields if necessary!

6th Turn~

Lucas uses PK Offence Up[Alpha] on himself. This, combined with Kumatora/Mercy's Defence Down makes all physical attacks more powerful.

Kumatora/Mercy keeps using PK Freeze, although may heal if necessary.

Boney keeps attacking as usual.

***Make sure to renew shields if necessary!

7th Turn~

Lucas uses PK Offence Up[Alpha] on Boney. He doesn't need to use it on Kumatora/Mercy because she will keep using PK Freeze.

Boney just keeps attacking, using healing items if at all necessary.

***Make sure to renew shields if necessary!

Also, if you have the patience, try grinding(repeatedly fighting enemies) to get PK Shield[Omega] for Lucas. This will help immensely!

*****Make certain that you DO NOT uswe PK Thunder three times on the Steel Mechorilla! If you do, the Steel Mechorilla will go beserk! It will attack everyone powerfully, making chances of victory slim!

Happy Earthbounding,
