Perpetua 02: The Shadow of the Dragon Tower Pt. 2

The crew of the Little Snail, traveling food truck and makeshift HQ for this band of equally makeshift adventurers, has agreed to escort a young priestess named Veile to a mysterious destination. Within days, they met their first obstacle: a group of mischievous Fleggs who've vandalized the Little Snail and sabotaged the way forward…

This week on Perpetua: The Shadow of the Dragon Tower Pt. 02

Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.01] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS]

Flegg [NMFL]

Typical Traits: Mischievous, Anxious, Clever, Family Oriented

Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 8, WLP 8

Attacks: Flegg Strike, Infuriate, Flegg Blast

Special Abilities: Final Act: Stoneshell

In-Game Description: A living egg. It comes up to your shins. It has a beak!?

These guys must be a little different than they were in the demo, because they definitely didn't have the ability to turn into a stone when you killed them in Prelude. I wonder if something happened to them between the game or if the designers just rebalanced them? Anyway, they're a basic enemy type, pretty good for grinding, but don't underestimate how they can overwhelm you in a group.

Starter Tip: Even though they're "monsters" you can actually try to use Persuasion on them!

Vinnor Jekk (he/him) [NMVJ]

Traits: Devoted, Optimistic, Pedantic, Arrogant

Stats: ???

Attacks: ???

Spells: ???

In-Game Description: Solivigant of the Way of Fearless Truth who seeks to enact a world-saving prophecy.

I can't tell what I think about this guy. Either he's going to betray the party and become a mid-game boss or he's just one of those guys you hate to talk to even though he's technically right about everything. No clue about stats/attacks/spells (because let's be real, this guy DEFINITELY has spells).

Starter Tip: Depending on your dialog choices you can get a chance to snoop through his stuff to get more lore.

Chelik, Awakened Dragon Watcher (she/her) [NMCH]

Traits: Wise, Focused, Out-of-Her-Time, Melancholy

Stats: DEX 6, INS 10, MIG 6, WLP 10

Attacks: Elemental Charge

Spells: Ice Beam, Flame Breath

In-Game Description: Recently revived scryer of the Dragon Watchers.

I can't stress this enough: Chelik is an optional boss. Unless you have done a bunch of grinding, she's probably out of your range when you first meet her. Yes, you can get some really decent gear if you manage to knock her out, but I think it's probably worth trying to avoid the fight all together (or else use the Persuade command to try to escape it).

Starter Tip: If she's using Elemental Charge, that means she's low on MP and you can probably push the advantage a little!
