Pants Macabre
Les caleçons de l'effroi
Everything is read from the game's code, unless stated otherwise
The essentials
- Take the quest: Wyrmtail – Interior (post-game; Wi-Fi quest (online download))
- The request: The skeleton Nick O'Less in the cave in the Wyrmtail wants you to retrieve his pants for him. Make a cumulus hex laugh with a Pratfall to get your chance to steal the grundies back.
- Find: what the request names
Skeleton — Earliest: Doomingale Forest, everywhere except on rocky ground — day: joins 8.6% of battles; night: no
Cumulus hex — Earliest: Caves, rank 10: 26% of visible monsters, 29% of battles (quality 141-180: floors 13-16; 181-200: floors 5-16; 201-220: floors 5-12; 221-248: floors 5-8)
Grundies — Simplest: from a quest, Quest 179 “Pants Macabre” (Wyrmtail, post-game): quest item (steal it with Half-Inch from a cumulus hex while it laughs (Pratfall), instead of its common item; in battle, under the quest's condition).
- Quest items received along the way:
- Reward (first time): Rhapthorne's Map
