ALL FOR MARKETING
This is Chet's second quest at the campsite, so completing "(not) breaking the mould" (and waiting one day) is required… and obviously the campsite must exist, see "the new campsite" for more details; Chet must also be there, so only during the day, between 6:00-18:00.
The hyena’s next objective is selling a tras- revolutionary armor set, but marketing is vital when it comes to selling a product, that’s where gullible wolves may help~.
The gist of it is that he wants us to demonstrate its effectiveness by satisfying 3 conditions, each letting us keep one piece of the set, plus 600 coins (for a total of 1800 coins):
- get the enemy (and audience) horny enough (60 lust): infinity blade XII (+3 ATK)
- let the battle last 10 or more turns: force glove (+1 DEF)
- win by reducing the bull’s HP to 0 (not by lust!): void armor●modified (+1 DEF)
Before the fight begins, Chet will force you to wear the 3 pieces mentioned above, which means a way worse sword, worse armor and pretty much one wasted equipment slot!
The battle is a mock fight, but the trash equipment means way less ATK and DEF, so physical builds are more penalized. Still, it can be trivialized if you have some potions and/or fill the soup flask with Einar’s soup, or even visit the bathhouse for a HP/MP bonus (i suggest MP if your max MP is very low, or at least have the flask and 1-2 MP potions); 0.33 also added the dawnstar sachet, a pretty unique equipment that grant +5 MP regen each turn in battle, pretty good for this one, more reliant on magic and that needs to last a while, but it is not needed, go buy it from Chet (at the tavern) if you have 500 coins to spare; it can even be upgraded to the nightstar sachet (+2 DEF, +8 MP regen) by praying at the statue (see “offering to the god” if you don’t know what i am referring to).
Now, for the actual fight: the enemy is a bull with 400 HP and no starting lust, he also deals way more damage than the usual ones, but not more than a decent bind up or red potion heal; Physical attacks are not useless, but still underwhelming due to the trash sword, so magic will be the way here unless you have minimal INT and very high STR/AGI.
Personally, with almost no stat point investment, i found myself winning easily by teasing successfully 4 times (3 by equipping some CHA accessories to deal at least 20 lust), and alternating bind up and holy fists whenever my HP got low just enough to not waste part of bind up’s recovery, with a couple of soup flask sips whenever HP and MP got a bit lower and needed a quicker healing, and 4 holy fists should be enough for most people, which means the battle will surely last more than 10 turns if you are trying to get all the tasks done with low stats (if you are too quick, or you are going for the big lizard scene described below, just… defend or heal to waste turns).
One in need of more M.ATK or MP may buy the ethereal crystal pendant from Chet (unlocked after doing his second ghost fetch quest), or a quick trip to Rasmus’s trial’s dungeon to get that bizarre ancient ring, if you missed it, the rusted spoon is also valid to heal more, if you got it from the moles’dungeon, but even a few potions should be enough.
The bull doesn’t give any EXP, gold or loot.
The true reward, though, is having fun with your “superfan”: fulfilling all 3 tasks has you meet a very nerdy, cute, adoring and small lizard, while lasting 10 turns, getting the bull to ≥ 60 lust, BUT losing the battle (in any way, so it is much simpler) makes you meet a big, sleazy, assertive and dominant lizard instead; this specific scenario also has Chet in such a good mood that he’ll decide to give you the full reward anyway (all 3 equipments and 1800 coins), so choose your favourite! You are free to refuse the fun part too, should they creep you out… but c’mon… we know you want it too~.
A complete failure gets you no equipment, but 300 coins along with Chet’s pity, and 1 level up point regardless.
As of 0.34, it is unknown if this weird equipment serves any other purpose, but each piece is worth 1000 gold if sold to Chet himself in the tavern (not at the campsite!)
Note: 0.33 added some random encounters with Snow, Thane+Nauxus and Selye around the campsite, any may happen at any time of the day… provided they are alive, there is no reward to be missed, just fun scenes!
