Yeah, You're for Me, Punk Rock Giant
The Punk Giant's room is less "bedroom" and more "hovel/squat." The floor's covered with old newspapers and crumpled fan 'zines; the walls are all peeling paint and damp plaster; the Punk Giant's bed is a filthy mattress on the floor. Someone's gone to a lot of trouble to make this part of the giant's pretty nice castle look like an abandoned subway station.
The only furniture in the room is a dilapidated chest of drawers overflowing with faded ratty T-shirts. And the only decoration on the wall is a poster of...Rita Hayworth? Huh.
| Get the Punk's Attention |
- With a mohawk wig equipped, before completing the Giant Trash Quest:
- You shout, "Oi, you! Do you feel lucky, punk?" The Punk Giant squints down at you.
- "You've got a wee bit o' bollocks talkin' to me, boyo," he says in a snotty Cockney accent. "I loike it. You've got the spirit of Punk Rock, yeh? Damn the man! Go disrupt the social order! Oi! Oi! Oi!"
- He picks you up, opens a mason jar on the floor, and drops you into it. The jar doesn't have a bottom, and you fall through a hole in the floor onto the kitchen counter.
- Takes you to Keep On Turnin' the Wheel in the Sky
- Otherwise:
- You shout, "You! Oi, you! Come and get one in the yarbles, if you've got any yarbles!" You're hoping the Punk Giant will appreciate your anarchic spirit, but instead he flips you off and attacks.
- Fight a Punk Rock Giant
| Dig Through His Drawers |
You sneak past the Punk Giant and rifle his drawers full of greasy tattered T-shirts. It turns out only the top layer is gross T-shirts, though, and underneath it the drawers are full of meat! This must be all the currency the Punk Giant hides away so he can pretend to be a poor gutter punk. You grab a few stacks for yourself, to help him keep it real.
 | You gain 450−550 Meat. |
- Under Way of the Surprising Fist the Meat is replaced with this message:
- You decide to donate the Meat to one of the giant's favorite anarchist charities by throwing it down a well.
| Check behind the trash can |
(only available after completing Giant Trash Quest)
Behind the trash can, you find a hole in the wall, presumably created when a punk rock giant threw the trash can against the wall in a fit of rage. You think he's gonna let The Man tell him where to put his trash?
You crawl through the hole and emerge in a different room.
Takes you to Copper Feel
| Look Behind the Poster |
You check out the poster. There's a breeze coming from behind it, and when you peel a corner back you see a tunnel through the wall. You crawl through, and the music fades from slightly-out-of-tune guitar to drum 'n' bass.
Takes you to Flavor of a Raver
Occurs at The Castle in the Clouds in the Sky (Top Floor)
