Notes

  • If you fumble your weapon and thus lose all your HP, the battle will end immediately and you will be Beaten Up. However, you will still collect eldritch effluvium and ichor as usual. Furthermore, you can fight this monster while Beaten Up, and the effect will be removed at the end of the battle.
  • Sssshhsssblllrrggghsssssggggrrgglsssshhssslblgl is immune to stunning:
"Hah, you think that will stop me," a voice booms in your mind.
  • Sssshhsssblllrrggghsssssggggrrgglsssshhssslblgl can block items:
"A tentacle lashes out and stops you from using that before you even start."

Eldritch Ichor

  • The amount of eldritch ichor dropped is based on how much damage you did during the fight: sqrt(damage/1000). For those too lazy to do math, the progression is 1000, 4000, 9000, 16000, 25000, 36000, 49000, 64000, 81000, 100000, and 121000. The Hagnk's Gratitude effect gives an additional 1-3 ichor.

History

  • In order to collect eldritch ichor, Sssshhsssblllrrggghsssssggggrrgglsssshhssslblgl required having one of several effects (which changed throughout the event):
    • You[sic] boiling hot-blood has allowed you to pierce through his horrific protections and deal actual damage! (when vulnerable to Hot Blooded)
    • Filled with a spirit of companionship and humming a pleasant tune, you break through his protections! (when vulnerable to Chorale of Companionship (effect))
    • In your sugar-filled state, you manage to blast through his defenses and deliver some real damage! (when vulnerable to So You Can Work More...)
    • It must be the right turn to damage this beast, because you appear to have done some real damage. (when vulnerable to Timer 7)
    • Your lack of care allows you get inside his defenses and do some damage! (when vulnerable to Apathy)
    • You're not sure how many eldritch horrors you are fighting in your goofed up state, but you think you hurt at least one of them! (when vulnerable to Hopped Up on Goofballs)
    • The poison in your blood osmoses into him and makes your attacks work! (when vulnerable to Hardly Poisoned at All)
    • You surprised him by serving him some pain instead of a delicious meal! (when vulnerable to Crappily Disguised as a Waiter)
  • Without the appropriate effect, you were unable to collect eldritch ichor:
  • Initially, Sssshhsssblllrrggghsssssggggrrgglsssshhssslblgl's vulnerability to Timer 7 was accidental. The effect ID for Timer 7 is the same as the item ID for the bottle of goofballs, and for roughly the first half of that day it used the text describing Hopped Up on Goofballs. Subsequently, the message was changed to better reference Timer 7, and Goofballs was required at a later time.
  • Each combat round, you get (many) messages indicating how well everybody else is doing:
Combat rages around you and you see that <player_name> damaged Sssshhsssblllrrggghsssssggggrrgglsssshhssslblgl for <N> damage using glancing blows, regular attacks, skills, clever tricks, spells, and their cheffstaff[sic].
  • The verb appears to change based on increasing damage dealt: plinked, bothered, damaged, whomped, epically whomped, epically blasted, epically devastated, and super epically devastated.
  • This monster could be fought while drunk.
