"Do you really need to ask, Chief?"

Notes

• On loss (without electric boning knife):

Frank says "Y'know what I bet would work, here? An electric boning knife."

"That's not even a thing, Frank," you reply, spitting out teeth.

"Sure it is. I bet one of those giants has one. They love kitchen gadgets, those guys."

• On loss (with electric boning knife):

Frank says. "You've got the knife, Boss. Why didn't you use it?"

• This monster counts as a group (of size 100). It takes manifold damage from area-of-effect skills such as Wave of Sauce.
• Only group damage skills will deal lasting damage to it, while all other skills cause it to fully heal.

  • The bones of the wall reconfigure themselves to patch up the hole you just made. Crap.

• Never misses.
• Cannot be stunned or staggered.
• Deals increasing damage each combat round.
  • On each attack the wall will deal damage equal to ceiling( MaxHP * (0.1 + 0.2 * number of previous attacks) ) which is unaffected by Damage Absorption, Damage Reduction or Elemental Resistance.
  • Its first attack will deal 10% of your Max HP rounded up, the second will deal 30%, the third will deal 50% and the fourth will deal 70%.
• Effects (such as the Star Starfish attack) which are supposed to give you MP instead reduce your MP, though Starfish-like familiars should be avoided for this fight because they will cause the Wall to heal.

Strategy

• The easiest way to defeat the Wall of bones is to use an electric boning knife, found in the Foodie Giant's room in The Castle in the Clouds in the Sky (Ground Floor). Note that this adventure is rarer than the other noncombats unless you have been defeated by the Wall, in which case it appears much more frequently.
• In order to defeat the Wall through brute force, 20,000 damage must be dealt within 4-5 turns. Group damage skills, such as Saucegeyser (boost Mysticality and Spell Damage), and Splattersmash (boost Muscle and delevel the wall) are the two most common options, though Garbage Nova from Dinseylandfill can deal colossal amounts of damage.
• Alternatively, a single big hit of 20,000 damage even from a non-group attack (such as a sufficiently strong Unleash the Greash), will also defeat it. This can be mitigated by weakening it by using a few group damage attacks before using the single-target attack.
• Despite generally being immune to Stunning, attacks from the wall can be avoided with some skills. Known skills that can successfully avoid damage from the wall are:
  • Shell Up, Sauceshell, Silent Slice, Silent Slam, and Silent Squirt. Unfortunately, they will cause the Wall of bones to fully heal.
