Notes
- When you first visit Doc Galaktik's Medicine Show, he is running short on ingredients for his medicines. After accepting the quest, you will be asked to gather 3 swindleblossoms, 3 fraudwort, and 3 shysterweed.
- Completion grants a 33% discount on all items.
- The Vitality Serum is only available after completing the quest. Note that the serum's price is 40 post-quest, implying its "original" price is 60.
- During the Gray Plague, the Doc used his skills to create various medicines to combat the disease.
- In a Zombie Slayer run, the Doc is not around:
- Unsurprisingly, Doc Galaktik has packed up his cart and headed for the hills, leaving behind an empty lot.
- In a Nuclear Autumn run, the Doc is not around:
- You approach Doc's wagon, but what you took to be Doc himself is just a mannequin. Looks like he decided to duck and cover.
- In a Kingdom of Exploathing run, the Doc is not around.
History
- The Medicine Show was revamped on April 21, 2015, introducing the Vitality Serum and Invigorating Tonic, as well as making the quest an introductory one. See the previous version.
References
- The traveling medicine show was common in early America. A slick, fast-talking, entertaining salesman would present a show to demonstrate the effectiveness of various elixirs, tonics, and cure-alls. These were done from the back of the salesman's cart, as these frauds had to be able to move out of one town and on to the next without delay.
- Doc Galaktik is a real-life friend of Jick's.
