Also, a little piece of trivia that I don't think has come up yet: I can tell pretty easily that Wiki's name is supposed to be a pun on "ukki," which is the Japanese onomatopoeia for monkeys. It's probably more obvious in Japanese, where it'd be written "Uikki"

Yo, Scruffy.

Apparently there is an alternate solution for the 'fountain guardian' level.

You dont need to go through a tough fishing minigame when you have some handy water-impervious explosives you can drop in the lake.

It just falls off the platform once it reaches the pot of water. I believe the method for getting full points from it is to knock down the upper ball, then knock down the lower ball. Otherwise you get less points. It's a slightly confusing map.

I probably should have pulled this up in a video, but Bonelich's maps don't uncover additional levels. The maps you find right now give you some bonuses that will make Maddy's treasure hunting more effective, either more luck or a discount or seeing how many chests you'll get from an area you've already explored. Just for collectibles :v:

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
I'm getting red flags largely because Barbaros's assembly is strongly reminiscent of Mala Mala Jong in Xiaolin Showdown. An amalgam of assembled magical artifacts powered by the Heart of Jong, one of the more powerful and versatile weapons on the side of evil due to having all the powers of the artifacts that made him - the more artifacts the more dangerous he became.

He was a pretty cool villain though...

Man, I haven't thought about that show in forever. I don't know where you guys are getting all this "Barbaros is a bad guy" thing from though! I mean, every time we talk to him in the hideout, he mentions that we're getting closer to making our dreams come true! He seems to be having slips of the tongue the more pieces we find though, I've caught him saying "my dreams come true" more than once.

Anyway! Back to TREASURE!

Given that the boss stage for ice world started with Rose attempting to steal Wiki to open the chest, I get the impression that Wiki might be the only one capable of transforming them between totem and person form.

... Which has some horrifying implications, but then this game hasn't really shied away from some really dark outcomes when you fail a level.

Wiki seems to be the only one who can turn people/animals into items. Might be why Barbaros is so antsy? Eh, probably nothing.

Time to DESTROY A DRAGON.

Fishing with bombs is totally possible. Plus, I mentioned it's possible to punch the ice cube and IT'S TIME TO PROVE THAT and it took 45 minutes.

Actually I've just thought of something - what is Barbaros wasn't always like that? His body is made up of golden objects, axes and goblets and poo poo - what if Wiki as part of sealing him, turned his parts into objects to make it harder to find them?

This last part is where I stopped playing the game. I got to the end of the level and could not get the timing down on dodging the dragon fire on the pillar. When I ran out of retry items, I just did not feel up to going through the level again and moved on to a different game.

In my original playthrough I got a few levels past this. Didn't drop it because I got stumped, just because I...stopped playing and didn't start again, for whatever reason!

I was hoping that the laughter was her cracking, like "Oh, you wanna play hardball do ya... You come into MY HOUSE and steal from me? Fine. The kid gloves are off. I was just trying to beat you to the treasures, but now I'm gonna BEAT YOU INTO THE GROUND!" so was disappointed with what actually happened there.
