Part 31: Post 6 - Carbon

Walter the Chemist - Post 6 - Carbon



There! Organized! (do not expect this to remain as such)

So we need to follow Galuf's corpse to the other world. Mostly because Exdeath is entirely too and if there's anything I cannot stand, it's someone smugger than I am. Plus, the second world has plentiful sources of Dragon Fangs, and in his quest to brew the perfect drugs, Walter needs the most potent ingredients.



Before I leave though, I need to prepare. I'll want a handful of Dark Matter, and aside from the one from Soul Cannon, the best place on World 1 are Prototypes. They're Baby Omegas! It takes a full five Succubus Kisses to kill one and they can cast Blaster, which can instantly kill me. That said, I get what I need.



Some amount of Turtle Murder later, I have what will probably be my stash going into World 2.

...wait. There's bosses to murder first. Whoops!



Someone likes me. God bless cheap ethers - you will be missed.



Oh enough with this adamantite shit, it doesn't even count.



It's a battery. Congratulations, you dingus.



Fine, let's go power up the meteorites and go to world 2. I need dragon fangs!

Spoilers: bosses are nesting in these meteorites.

Are you ready? Ready for the resolution of a joke I've been making since I started? HERE. WE. GO.

COMBINE! ANTIDOTE AND MAIDEN'S KISS!



Levisalve makes me float.

That's it. Sorry for leading you all along.



I decide to crack into this since world 2 is soon and I can buy them. Let me demonstrate the difference!

At level 29, Walter attacks for this:



And at level "39", Walter attacks for this:



Hell yes.

NEXT.

(Death Potion: Dark Matter + Phoenix Down)



Oh come ON.



These are... mildly challenging, actually.

Much like Zerky!, Walter does not have reliable multi-target damage. Furthermore, since I'm lazy, I'm not going to down a Goliath Tonic. This is hubris, and it bites me in the ass. As you can see, they do not act for 2 turns. I start turn 1 enacting Haste - this lets me get two turns to each Purobolos turn. On turn 2, I start up this:



Lilith Kiss. Ether + Maiden's Kiss. This drains MP at an attack value of 45. Walter's magical M is currently 6 - this means it'll burn 270 MP. Purobolos only have 100. This leads to this:




Phew. But wait, what about Self Destruct?




So the issue is, Walter only gets two turns to one, so he gets to Lilith Kiss four Purobolos before they get to act. In my first attempt, one of the two with MP pools got off a Self Destruct. This did not occur the second time.

And there we are. All four meteors are charged.



The energy of these meteors is flowing to a singular point.



The portal to Galuf's world is ready. Walter's supplies are ready. Let's go.

Next time: Galuf is useful! The quest for Dragon Fangs begins!
