10 Greatest Hidden Video Game Weapons

3. Sword Of Kings (Earthbound)

Prince Poo is perhaps the oddest of the main party characters in Earthbound. Not only is he a bonafide prince of mystical royalty traveling with an otherwise psuedo-normal group of heroes of destiny, but he's also the only character in the main party that can't wield a weapon. That is, unless you are either particularly patient or extremely lucky. Within the game's Stonehenge level, there is a fairly difficult enemy known as the Starman Super. What few Earthbound players know about this annoying foe is that there is actually a 1/128 chance that they can drop the only weapon in the game Prince Poo is able to equip: The Sword of Kings. The low probability factor of this occurring has led to many stories of Earthbound veterans trying the process hundreds of times without success. Of course, there are those players that accidentally got it on their first try. Those of us that have played the game for years without seeing this sword hate them the most.
