Ruler: EarthBound Tool of Measurement

Infinite Uses and In-Battle Functionality

Appearance and Usage in EarthBound Series

The Ruler is an enigmatic item that plays a significant role in both EarthBound Beginnings and EarthBound. It is described as an item that "sizes things up" when used by a party member. Unlike many other items in the game, the Ruler has infinite uses, making it a valuable tool throughout the player's journey.

Obtaining the Ruler

In EarthBound Beginnings, the Ruler can be obtained in the net room. Once acquired, the player must navigate back to the starting room and proceed right twice to utilize the item.

Battle Functionality

While the Ruler primarily serves as a measurement tool outside of battle, it also possesses a unique in-battle function. When used against Protractors, a type of enemy, the Ruler can accurately determine the angle of their attacks. This information can be crucial in devising effective strategies and ensuring victory.
