Notes
- Occurs as one of the possible results of Forgot to Mention the Crystal Skulls.
References
- The second hit and miss message reference a scene from the TV series Breaking Bad where the main character, a chemist, uses a shard of mercury fulminate which can detonate on impact. Ethanol is part of the preparation.
- The third hit and miss message reference the adding of ammonium nitrate to water as an endothermic reaction, which absorbs heat from the environment.
- Defeating this enemy with a basic understudy (and skeptic sandals equipped?) results in a message:
- <name> studiously pores over the chemist's notes and makes a bunch of progress towards puzzling them out.
- Getting the above message 10 times (from either this opponent or the alchemist unlocks the Lab Assistant with the message:
- <name> pokes around the chemist's notes, eyes widening with realization.
- Defeating this enemy for the first time with the Lab Assistant results in the message:
- <name> finds some notes on someone called Auric and gets really interested in researching him further.
- Defeating this enemy further times with the Lab Assistant
- <name> is still looking into Auric and contemplates your foe's notes without making any headway. It seems like just waiting for a lucky break isn't going to do it.
