Is there a ref sheet/full body image that you can share for Vocivus? I want to draw it for Kaijune but there’s so much to look at and try to discern detail from!

we kinda only had one image we designed to base it all off of honestly if I had to go back, we would of spend more time doing design turnarounds and concepts for many of the newer characters in the plot

[neobastard]

does anything happen if you zap a pile of soot? ik it works according to jellyneo, but i've had three days in a row of nothing happening

So currently on Neopets:

If you do up to 100,000 cumulative damage to Vocivus (the current plot boss) you get several very good awards

Vocivus started with 850 mil HP, but players almost killed it within 12 hours so TNT boosted it to 3 billion

For players with untrained pets, grinding up to 100K points can take hours, so it's best if it doesn't die too fast

Elite battlers really like Vocivus as it provides a genuine challenge on account of having randomized element immunity and healing from light attacks

Therefore, people on the Neoboards have been "feeding" it light attacks to make sure it doesn't die too fast and have been petitioning it to stay as the "pet" of the Battledome Chat

Some users have also started a psudo-cult worshiping it so now the boards look like this

As of three days after its release it still hasn't been defeated because of this

[neobastard]

mind you in the lore this thing will lay waste to all of neopia and erase all life if we don't defeat it

despite how much I yap about neopets on here it almost never shows up in my dreams, so imagine my surprise when for a brief moment this morning I really thought the plot updated except all the text was the lyrics of Flo Rida's Low

FINALLY

[savannahfaerie]

I had the absolute pleasure of doing another Illusen card for the Neopets Battledome TCG! This time the Promo Pack alt art card of her! Can you spot the album reference? :3 Thanks to Upper Deck and Ricky Le!

[neobastard]

ok i'm genuinely so glad i got a ultimate dark reflectorb at the beginning of this plot before people caught on that it's really good against void enemies, cause wdym i'm seeing people sell them for 1mil each.

While I'm talking about the plot, I might as well point out that it's very unlikely Drakara is dead. Those black rainbow-spotted wisps match the ones that are shown when she gives Baelia her fake wings earlier in the chapter:

And if you check her BD dialogue, she's talking about A) stalling for time and B) everything "slotting into place":

Given Drakara's puppet master kind of theming, I'd assume she made a fake illusionary copy of herself at some point like how she made Baelia's illusionary wings. This explains why A) her battledome dialogue refers to her as being the "true Drakara", and B) explains why there's a massive HP difference between her and the "malevolent being" challenger despite them being the same character.

What she's doing while the distraction is going on is unclear, but I'd assume it has something to do with widening the rift over Neopia. Her dialogue also mentions an entourage (could be Vocivus, but entourage usually refers to multiple people) and introducing her "new friends" (again, plural, and we already know about Vocivus). I'd assume she's busy bringing in some voided villains from other plots, as a few of them have been foreshadowed during the plot's run.

abusing my platform once again to ask if anyone has a pastel ponytails wig they'd be willing to trade with me for a GBC or two

Hey, do you know how to find how much damage you did individually when fighting Vocivus the Ceaseless Gormandizer? My Mom found a guide saying "You need to do this much damage to get all the prizes" but can't find how much damage she did.

so it's not individual damage (thank GOD), it's cumulative damage. meaning the total amount of damage you've dealt to vocivus in total is what determines the prizes you get.

the last prize received is at 100,000 total damage, which is either trivial or a very tall ask depending on how good your battledome pet is.

as for me, my pet is at a dinky level 70 but i'm making a good amount of headway by dealing as much damage as i can with three free turns of lens flare, thunder sticks, and thyora's tear and then using a reflector to deal more damage than i would've normally been able to.

if you have a pet that's well trained then it'll still be a slog but it'll be a marginally faster slog.

[masterhallmark]

No, I mean she wants to know how much damage she has done so far. Is that possible?

[switch]

there’s no way to keep track of exact total damage dealt without just manually keeping track yourself. the only way to know is to keep refreshing the barracks page, and you’ll know when you hit the next milestone when you get a new reward popup (like the 50k popup meaning you’re halfway there).
