Pyramid

The Pyramid is a location in EarthBound. It is located south of Scaraba in the Chommo region. Located in the northern half of the Scaraban Desert, it is the only link to the southern half, where Dungeon Man resides.

Layout

The Pyramid can only be entered after getting the Hieroglyph Piece in the museum in Summers. The player must step on the five pressure pads in a star formation for the door to open. The pyramid consists mostly of staircases and forms the shape of a triangle. From the entrance the stairway goes consistently upwards until reaching a room with a mummy casket on a pedestal. The casket is covering a hole which leads to the lowest level. From there is a constant downwards stairway to the Guardian General blocking the next room. Past it is a room with a pressure pad, which upon being stepped on causes the casket to move and reveal the hole to the lowest level.

Once at the bottom, the Hawk Eye is placed on a nearby pedestal. The following room is an upwards staircase leading to a hole, and from there is a straight path to the right then a stairway to the exit to South Scaraba.

Role in EarthBound

After reaching the Pyramid in the Scaraban Desert, Ness and his friends use the Hieroglyphs to learn how to enter. Ness must step on the pressure pads in front of the Pyramid in the formation of a star to open the door. Upon entering, Ness and his friends find many Mummies and living Hieroglyphics. At the end of the Pyramid, they are confronted by the Guardian General. Once defeated, Ness steps on a pressure pad which moves the casket upstairs and reveals a hole to the bottom of the pyramid. Down there Ness and friends find the Hawk eye, an essential item for getting through a dark swamp up ahead. After exiting, Poo is asked to momentarily leave the group to learn the power of the Starstorm by the Star Master.
