Magnet Hill is the fifthSanctuary location located inEarthBound, found inFourside outside of the sewers in theDinosaur Museum. It is guarded by thePlague Rat of Doom.

A man near the north wall hints that this is a Your Sanctuary location by saying that it doesn't feel like it's his place, butNess's place. In this sanctuary is a box with the Carrot key needed to accessPink Cloud inDalaam.

Layout

It is required to go into the sewers in order to reach Magnet Hill. After entering from the Dinosaur Museum, it is mainly a winding path to the east in three segments, and a dead end left of the entrance. Entering the sewage itself is needed to go around the hazmat barrels blocking the path. In the second area is a room where aMagic Butterfly appears regularly. At the far right end there is a ladder blocked by the to thePlague Rat of Doom. Climbing up the ladder leads back on the surface where the sanctuary is located.

History

After receiving a call fromMr. Spoon in theScaraba Cultural Museum inSummers, Ness and his party meet him as he tells of his discovery, but will only allow Ness in upon bringing Venus's autograph. Once Ness gives him the autograph on a banana peel, he is let into the sewers to find what the discovery was at the end, but is warned about the Plague Rat of Doom beforehand. The team manages to successfully defeat the Plague Rat of Doom who is revealed to have been the Sanctuary Guardian of Magnet Hill. Outside, Ness witnesses a short vision of a baby's bottle. Ness then collects theMelody of Magnet Hill, then obtains the Carrot key which will allow the team to reach Pink Cloud.

Trivia

• It is possible to skip obtaining the Melody by moving as close to the lower wall as possible, then collecting the Carrot key and leaving. Collecting this Melody last, however, does not automatically activate theSound Stone and send Ness toMagicant as normal, which results in a Sound Stone that plays all Eight Melodies without doing anything else. The player would then need to revisit one of the other Sanctuaries that can ordinarily be obtained last in order to properly reach Magicant.
