The bow meow dungeon has always felt a bit sinister to me.

With all the hair, the dirty litterbox, and now, something about the smell...

The bow meows are always in a set position before you attack them. Note the one looking up, next to the empty feeders.

And what's with the blood here?

I guess we will never kno- was this ladder always here?

TO THE BONE????

well, that was a gruesome discovery. Probably better to report back about- oh hi. That's why the bow meows were agitated.

"Finally, a boss worthy of its name" ... Tristepin is such a gamer, sorry, I'm just very amused at how consistently he's been portrayed as a player proxy. Maybe when I rewatch the series I'll have better analysis of that than just "dude, trust me"-

This line from Goultard really reads to me like he is playing up the act for Tristepin, which as we all know is a wrestling fan

Stealing his kill :(

hey, so remember the prophecy?

It seems like the Ogrest Cult is aware of it, and trying to safeguard any funny looking trinkets from the prying hands of pesky adventures (else some bad fate could befall their Ogrest). They are trying to prevent the forming of a PC. Their plan’s execution is a classic rookie fumble. If I were to hide some sort of powerful power or artifact or like the legacy of the gods or some shit, I’m just spitballing here, I would have put it in some very obtuse place nigh inaccesible to mortals and hidden the answer of its location in some very other very far away and harrowing to get to locations. I would then erase my own memory, and then, unburdened by the past, spend my days being the funniest NPC a quest has ever known. But that’s just me.

Funnily enough, it seems like main PCs motivation here is vengeance rather than heroic aspiration.

Which, makes sense. PC has only memories of how long they’ve lived, and they’ve lived barely. It is easy to hold a grudge if even 4% of your total memory of everything that has happened to you so far involved getting flung down the sewer by a creature named grambo.

PC is a very prideful creature in these quests (and we love that for her. I support her) as seen with them seeing themselves capable of taking on a dragon in Rii, and incessantly complaining that they were worthy of more that just a lowly Rat Quest. To be tossed away like trash is not good for her. When I was little I thought that if a thick tree trunk fell on me I could just… move it away effortlessly. No tree fell on me to prove me wrong. PC at these stages exudes that child-like belief of being invincible. Maybe there aren’t too many confirmed incarnates hanging around because they have the wisdom of a kid yet the agency of a fully formed being that won’t be stopped by a parent if it wants to wrestle a dragon. (But PC did and she survived sooo….)

Whoa whoa whoa, when was that ever on the table?

And there we go, we are now back to the old part of the tutorial with the Ogrest cult! We go into their dungeon,

beat some grambo behind,

And you know, be given a task that we as a player know is impossible that our Character will obliviously dedicate their entire life purpose to. (We know that Ogrest is dealt with in the wakfu ova, and this game is a prequel! Haha. Good luck pc. You poor bastard.)

Yeah, whats up with the smell anyways?

I like that he knows there's going to be a boss, he's such a gamer.

You know, when it comes to the series, I never see anyone mention how much of an mmo player proxy Tristepin is. He's the most stereotypical adventurer of the group, specially evidenced by the dragon pig episode of season 2, where he exhibits some very playerrific knowledge about dungeon tropes. Idk, I think its a part of his character that doesn't get thought about enough.

I love you Tristepin.

I like that Goultard can somehow also notice PC's massive amount of swag / powerful wakfu. Comes with being a demigod?

Silly PC, THE Goultard is a sword

As with how it used to be with Pappy Pal, we end up keeping the haven bag instead which is the explanation as to why we have one of those in game.

Quite the humble abode... for now.

PC is quite the prideful creature, but it seems like getting beat up by Grougaloragran has made her have to face the realities, if only a little bit.

So, Goultard sends you and Tristepin on clean up duties. Apparently they displaced a lady from her home?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HSAFHFDASHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAAHSHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHDFHFJHDSFDFJKDLJFDSKLJFKAHHAHAHAAHAHA

ERASE THE OLD TUTORIAL ALL YOU WANT, THE RAT QUEST WILL NEVER STOP HAUNTING US!!!!

In the original French (and Spanish and Portuguese, most of the time too), gendered words will differ depending on the character you are playing. In this situation, the english translation doesn't give a fuck and geniuously opts to call your character it instead.

A little guy!

These hoofed little fellas may ring a bell if you've watched season 1 of wakfu; they are the ones that serve Nox during the attack on the Sadida Kingdom. Iirc they are akin to goblins and like to serve evil people for shits and giggles.
