Part 6: I Missed A Formula: Acid Rain
I missed it during the recording, but some people informed me that I had missed Acid Rain during the last update. Frankly, I'm not surprised, and I appreciate those who pointed it out. I'd like to say this is the last formula I'm going to miss, but we all know that isn't the case. There's a formula coming up much later that I know I'm going to miss, because you have to navigate a special path through a pain in the ass maze. But we'll get to that when we get there. For now, let's snag Acid Rain.![](1-acidrain000000.png)
It's on the path leading away from Thraxx, after you smash his oversized behind.

There's a hidden path here; it's kind of subtle, or maybe not. Either way, I walked right past it without thinking about it.

There's also another bit of Clay, a Biscuit, and some Water in these gourds.

Further to the right, we get the formula proper.

Considering what he was up to before, this probably qualifies as a hell of a big day for York. Zach doesn't seem to be that concerned.

You're not wrong. Things are getting better, though. We have an axe now.

Lava!? I don't want to go through any lava!

It's not a new spell, as Thraxx used it, but it's now in our hands!

We've found an assload of Water, yeah, but that still seems a little costly for a spell. Ash isn't hard to find, either. But a 3:1 mixture seems a little cost-heavy on the one side.

Still, it's another alchemy formula, so why not equip it?

This guy also acts as an ingredient shop.

Where I take the opportunity to stock up on Crystals and Clay. And, yes, I have 54 of each, so that is 54 castings of Hard Ball.

But before that, let's jack those two gourds.

We also snag four parts of Ash.

And I bid you adieu, Constant Reader. See you next time, for a real update.
