An Old Man resides by the sea. He sends you on the quest An Old Guy and The Ocean.
- With Makeshift SCUBA gear:
- Hello there, young Adventurer. Back when I was your age, I used to be quite a fisherman. These days, well, what with my arthritis, and my gout, and this old war injury, well, I don't get out there so much anymore.
- Say, is that a set of SCUBA gear you've got there? Maybe you can help me. I lost my favorite boot, you see. Dropped it right off the side of my boat. Time was I'd just fish until I dredged it back up, and boy, lemme tell you, was it a hoot! But not anymore. That dang marlin sapped the last of my strength.
- Think you could go down there and get it for me? I'd be obliged, yessirree.
- Oh, and hey, if you wanna take your little buddy with you, this'll help.
 | You acquire an item: little bitty bathysphere |
- Additionally, if lacking any equipment to breathe underwater:
- If you need something to help you breathe underwater, I've got this old SCUBA tank I'd be willing to part with. Let's call it 10,000 Meat. On second thoughts, let's call it a SCUBA tank, and say it costs 10,000 Meat.
| Buy the tank (10,000 Meat) |
- With sufficient meat:
- Pleasure doin' business with you!
You spent 10,000 Meat.
You acquire an item: rusty SCUBA tank
- Subsequent visits:
- Say, have you found my boot yet? I know it's down there somewhere.
- With the damp old boot:
- Say, is that my boot you've got there? Yippee! Thanks, Adventurer! I knew you'd come through for me.
- Here, while you were gone I whittled this for you.
You acquire an item: das boot - Take care of yourself, Adventurer. I'm off to dream about lions.
Notes
- If you ascend, then you can purchase another damp old boot from Big Brother and the Old Man will give you another das boot for it.
- While in a Zombie Slayer or Avatar of Boris run, the Old Man is replaced with this message:
- That old man you saw on the main map was just a picture of an old man drawn on the ground.
References
- This is a reference to a novella The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway.
