__NOTOC__

The Pagoda Quest is an optional side-quest that provides an upgrade to your [[The Campground|campsite]]. It does not appear in your quest log.

'''Note''': the number of turns required to do this quest during an ascension makes it extremely unlikely to repay itself before you reach [[Aftercore]]. Doing the quest [[#Alternative_Method|completely in Aftercore]] is recommended, if you feel a need to do it at all.

==Tasks==
*Unlock the [[pirate cove]] and complete the quest to [[Cap'm Caronch Quest|join Cap'm Caronch's crew]], which grants access to the [[The Poop Deck|Poop Deck]].
*While on the level 11 [[Quest for the Holy MacGuffin]], you read your beloved father's diary, which contains a certain password. Adventure on the Poop Deck until you unlock [[Belowdecks]], then adventure there until you obtain an [[acoustic guitarrr]].
*Also as part of the level 11 quest, get the [[Copperhead Charm]] from the [[The Copperhead Club|Copperhead Club]] and the [[Copperhead Charm (rampant)]] from the [[The Red Zeppelin|Red Zeppelin]], combine them into the [[Talisman o' Namsilat]] and equip it to gain access to [[The Palindome]].
*Also as part of the level 11 quest, defeat [[Dr. Awkward]] to unlock the noncombat adventures [[Inside the Palindome]].
*Return to adventuring Inside the Palindome until you obtain a [[ketchup hound]], [[drab sonata]], [[guitar pick]] and at least one [[Elf Farm Raffle ticket]].
*Use the [[Elf Farm Raffle ticket]] to have a chance to win the [[pagoda plans]]. May require a number of Elf Farm Raffle tickets.
*Adventure at [[Itznotyerzitz Mine]] until you obtain two {{plural|chrome ore}}. Combine one with your [[drab sonata]] and one with your [[acoustic guitarrr]] to obtain a [[heavy metal sonata]] and a [[heavy metal thunderrr guitarrr]] in your [[inventory]] (don't equip it!).
*Adventure at [[Pandamonium Slums]] until you obtain a [[Hey Deze map]] (can only be obtained after [[Deep Fat Friars' Gate Quest|cleansing the grove]]).
*Use the [[Hey Deze map]] to obtain [[Hey Deze nuts]].
*Use the [[ketchup hound]] (with the [[pagoda plans]] in your inventory) to obtain the [[Pagoda]] at your [[The Campground|campground]].

===Alternative Method===
This is useful if you just broke the prism and want to put up a Pagoda for aftercore, and you've completed the quest in a previous ascension.
*Go get the [[Hey Deze map]] from the [[Pandamonium Slums]], if you don't already have it.
*Pull a [[heavy metal thunderrr guitarrr]], [[heavy metal sonata]], and [[guitar pick]] for the music. Pull as many [[Elf Farm Raffle ticket|Elf Farm Raffle tickets]] as you can. The first three items will not be consumed, and thus are reusable every ascension. The raffle tickets will be consumed.
*Use the Hey Deze map and then use the raffle tickets until you get the plans.
*Use the [[ketchup hound]] (which you likely have in inventory from the level 11 quest).

==Rewards==
*Doubles your base HP and MP when [[Resting|resting]], and gives 3 [[Extra Rollover Adventures|extra adventures]] a day.
*You can now obtain the [[Palindrophy]] [[trophy]].

==Text==
''When using the [[ketchup hound]]:''

'''A dog, a plan, a canal, pagoda!'''

The ketchup hound reads the pagoda plans, and barks a series of instructions at the Hey Deze Nuts. They dig a deep canal around part of your campsite, and quickly construct a pagoda inside it.

''When using the [[ketchup hound]] without [[Hey Deze nuts]] in your inventory:''

The ketchup hound looks at your pagoda plans, and seems to understand them. He starts trying to dig the requisite canal, but his little paws aren't strong enough. It's cute, but ultimately ineffective.

''When using the [[ketchup hound]] without [[Pagoda plans]] in your inventory:''

The ketchup hound barks at the Hey Deze Nuts, and they start digging. Unfortunately, they have no plans to go by, so they just dig random trenches until they lose interest.

==History==
Before the 2022 revamp, having a [[Ten-leaf clover]] in your inventory when using the [[Elf Farm Raffle ticket]] would give you the [[pagoda plans]] ([[Ascension#One-Time|one time]] only) when not in [[Bad Moon]].

==References==
*The quest text includes the [[Wikipedia:Palindrome|palindrome]] "A dog, a plan, a canal. Pagoda!", which is a variation of the classic palindromes, "A Man, a Plan, a Canal – Panama" and "A Dog, a Panic in a Pagoda".
