'''--Spider Eating--'''

You will have to enter into the Underwater Tunnel to start this preparation, but it half-way occurs on the overworld. The idea is that you dive into the dungeon with a full stomach, eat your dog, find a couple of spiders (or other poisonous corpses), take them to the overworld, eat them one at a time, and then rest as the poison damages you. This may seem like suicide, but it will give you an early boost in Hit Points. I find this to be the most risky method of preparation, as more often than not I die from hunger later on since I can't find any food. Of course, if you're willing to blow all your money early on for bananas from the shop, then you're a little safer from dying from hunger, but still this is a risky move.
