Special Interactions

In additional to the general "rules" of the kingdom, there are special cases where game elements interact in a unique way.

There are certain items which, when equipped, have an undocumented in-game effect:

• Visiting The Council of Loathing while wearing a V for Vivala mask produces a special message.
• In the Bugbear Costume, you cannot eat gingerbread bugbear cookies.

You can gain extra adventures from consumables under the following conditions:

• Wearing a tuxedo shirt when drinking a martini, or related drink.
• Eating a pr0n cocktail with a silver shrimp fork equipped.
• Consuming food and booze made from cranberries on the Feast of Boris. Note that this did not occur on the Feast of Boris XIII, possibly due to a bug.

You can extend buffs cast by wearing certain equipment:

• The opera mask extends Accordion Thief buffs, but is then destroyed.
• The jewel-eyed wizard hat extends all buffs (but that's explicitly stated in the item description).

Eating a Crimbo(ween) cookie with a glass of goat's milk in inventory will double the duration of the special effect from the cookie.

• wreath-shaped Crimbo cookie, bell-shaped Crimbo cookie, and tree-shaped Crimbo cookie.
• skull-shaped Crimboween cookie, bat-shaped Crimboween cookie, and tombstone-shaped Crimboween cookie.
• blob-shaped Crimbo cookie.

Certain combat items have unique effects when used on specific monsters.

• Using a golden ring while fighting a gaudy pirate will net you 500 meat.
• Using Tom's of the Spanish Main Toothpaste while fighting a toothy pirate gives you 100-150 MP.
• Various combat items obtained underwater work differently or only at underwater zones.

Some weapons can be fueled by items in your inventory to unlock special attacks during combat:

• The 4 forearm replacements dropped by the bosses inside the Crackpot Mystic's Psychoses can consume a Pixel power cell, to activate special attacks which in again have special interactions with one of these bosses:
  • The anger blaster skill Rage Flame nullifies Doubt Man's shield against attacks, spells, and items.

• The coal shovel can Shovel Hot Coal at the cost of a hot coal.
