Slay the Jabberwock
Task updated: Return to sibling Desc: Go see your sibling in Stonecrown. It’s getting really exciting now!
NEXT SIBLING VISIT AFTER GAINING VORPAL SWORD (after forging) “You got the sword! You are indeed an absolute legend! I couldn’t be prouder right now. My own sibling, raised in a shoe but kicking arse. Now your biggest challenge awaits. Do you think you have what it takes to kill that foul creature? Well, I suppose you don’t even know where it hides and seethes its poison? Well, I have got you covered. My mastery was destined. I know exactly where to find it and how to lure it out. There is a rhyme I discovered on my travels... “In the Toughwood very dark, You will find the hatred heart. Wear a charm of Hyalite, And in a storm you’ll find your fight. Thrust the blade of dark so deep And love and hope the land shall keep.” Soooo, it seems that you need this Hyalite to forge into a charm. It’s a good thing you have me, eh? I took the liberty of using that weird ore I once told you I’d found and getting a smithy to forge the charm for you. They said it was the hardest metal they had ever worked with. It will cost you a hug. Just kidding. It’s yours. Take it and your sword and go free this land of hatred. And you better beat it. I don’t want to be crying over your lazybones.”
GET HYALITE CHARM (can’t be sold or gifted)
THE JABBERWOCK
- The Grandmasters have now given you the mould that you need to forge the Vorpal Weapon - You've forged the charm using your siblings recipe and the wrym - All thats left to do is defeat the Jabberwock
When it is stormy (you can use the Lightning Rod) and night (midnight to 6), enter Toughwood. Charm must be equipped. Got to the final room. We cutscene and bring in fog, then remove it and play a Jabberwock roar. Cutscene goes and game on! Kill it (only Vorpal Sword damages it) and it collapses and dissolves away. We fade to black and fade in cutscene, player walking out of Toughwood. Sibling is there with a big crowd of random villagers. Sibling: “My hero! You did it! You slew the creature of hate, and now there is no more hatred in the land. You are a true legend, and I am so proud of you right now. Teamwork makes the dream work though, so I hope I get my name mentioned in the history books for my part. Oh, glorious day! Go see those Grandmasters forthwith! Hurray!”
CROWD CHEERS
Story Task updated: Visit the Grandmasters Desc: Go see the Grandmasters in The Circle and tell them of your victory.
The Wright speaks... “You are truly the one. You have passed my trial and freed the land of hatred. We see a great future for you. Never before have we felt such a force of nature, such as you. We can now sleep, content in our tombs, knowing the land has a guardian. Whatever you choose to do next is up to you. Maybe you have some loose ends you wish to tie up? Perhaps untold wealth is your desire? Perhaps the adoration of everyone in the land? Whatever your desire, we wish you good fortune. Rest well, Legend, and take this prize, the Hammer of the Ancients. It will help with your smithing skills. One day you may even be as good as me, using that. Farewell!” Grandmasters fade away.
We do a cutscene of jolly victory music with the player walking through various regions on the way back to the farm. We walk around 5 seconds or so each level, with NPCs cheering. Finally we reach the farm and walk up to the door. Any family are all there. We give the player control back.
