The Secret Tropical Island Volcano Lair
- Some time after you defeat your nemesis in the cave, you will be attacked by a series of four thugs, sent after you by your nemesis. These assassins will each attack you as you adventure in any zone.
| Class | First assassin | Second assassin | Third assassin | Fourth assassin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seal Clubber | menacing thug | Mob Penguin hitman | hunting seal | Argarggagarg the Dire Hellseal |
| Turtle Tamer | turtle trapper | Safari Jack, Small-Game Hunter | ||
| Pastamancer | evil spaghetti cult assassin | Yakisoba the Executioner | ||
| Sauceror | béarnaise zombie | Heimandatz, Nacho Golem | ||
| Disco Bandit | flock of seagulls | Jocko Homo | ||
| Accordion Thief | mariachi bandolero | The Mariachi With No Name |
- The final assassin will drop a secret tropical island volcano lair map. Adventure on The Poop Deck until you reach the O Cap'm, My Cap'm adventure. Show the map to the navigator to access the Secret Tropical Island Volcano Lair.
- Speak to the NPC on the island. Each class is given a different task to unlock the volcano lair:
- Seal Clubber - Kill enough mother hellseals to get 6 hellseal brains, hellseal hides and hellseal sinews. Mother hellseals are attracted by hurting their pups.
- Turtle Tamer - With the fouet de tortue-dressage equipped, use the skill apprivoisez la tortue on six guard turtles with hats in the Outer Compound. It is necessary to use the skill fives times on each of them.
- Pastamancer - Obtain 5 cult memos to decode them and summon a Spaghetti Elemental. Then get it to level 3 and have it attack a cult member to obtain a spaghetti cult robe. Equip it in order to enter the lair.
- Sauceror - Gather vials of colored slime from the slimes in the The Convention Hall Lobby by using the bottle of Gü-Gone to kill them. Cook two different vials together, then combine the result with one of the components (for example, cook a vial of red slime and a vial of yellow slime to get a vial of orange slime, then cook that with another vial of yellow slime to get a vial of amber slime). Drink these potions until you get the effect Slimeform. Note that the vial effects are random for each character.
- Disco Bandit - Use Gothy Handwave to gather dance moves from the ravers. Look for specific messages, much as you would the gremlins. When you have all three moves, find a combination of moves that will dislodge an item. Once you've gathered and equipped five of the rave visor, glowstick on a string, baggy rave pants, candy necklace, pacifier necklace, and teddybear backpack, you will be able to get by the guard.
- Accordion Thief - Burglarize The Barracks and pick the pockets of the mariachis to obtain 5 hacienda keys. The locations of the keys are randomized per player/per ascension.
- Enter the volcano lair, and fight the bodyguards and eventually your Nemesis.
- Equip your Legendary Epic Weapon, then navigate the maze in A Volcanic Cave.
- Alternately, you can choose to skip the maze at a cost of 10 adventures, but you will miss out on some rewards.
- Defeat the penultimate and ultimate forms of your Nemesis.

Text
- After encountering menacing thug:
"<Name>! Thank goodness you're here -- some pretty shady characters have been asking about you."
"Yeah, I had a run-in with some of them," you mutter darkly. "It looks like there's a price on my head."
"Your Nemesis' work, I'll wager. I wish I could tell you we'd tracked down her location, but she's proving to be devilishly sneaky. You'd better watch your back."
"Yeah, thanks."
- After defeating your Nemesis:
"<Name>! Welcome back! I have excellent news for you!"
"I've got some pretty good news myself," you say, just a little smugly. "I've defeated my Nemesis once and for all!"
"Really? That's fantastic!"
"Yeah... Um, I really didn't see anything that looked like an artifact that's vitally important for the future of the world or anything, though..."
"Oh, yes, well, about that... that's what I wanted to tell you, actually. See, we found it."
"... You found it?"
"Yeah, it turned out not to be missing after all. See, Larry over there ("Hi," says Larry, waving), he sent it out to be cleaned, and forgot to tell anyone."
"..."
"Sorry about that. Larry's new. But anyway, we've got it back now. And hey, you beat your Nemesis, that's really terrific! It'll be nice not having to worry about she any more."
"...Yeah."
"I should give you something for your trouble, though. Here's some meat. Go take a nice vacation or something, you've earned it!"
"Thanks," you mutter dryly.
 | You gain 6,000 Meat. |
Pastamancer and Sauceror
- After encountering menacing thug:
"Ah, <name>, it is good to see you safe. There have been some notably disreputable-looking people inquiring about you."
"Yeah, I had a run-in with some of them," you mutter darkly. "It looks like there's a price on my head."
"Undoubtedly an attempt at revenge by your Nemesis. Unfortunately, he has somehow managed to defeat all attempts to locate him via magical means. We will continue our attempts, but in the meantime, please use the utmost caution."
"Yeah, thanks."
- After defeating all the thugs:
"Ah, <name>, you've returned. And relatively unscathed, I am pleased to note. Are your Nemesis' assassins proving to be an ordeal?"
"No," you reply, "I think I've seen the last of them, thankfully. Have a look at this -- I got it off of their leader." You hand over the secret tropical island volcano lair map.
"It appears my earlier musings were justified -- it was a secret tropical volcano island after all. Interesting. ...It appears that you will need a ship to reach it, and a strong one at that, judging by the indicators on this map."
"Right. I was hoping you could lend me one?"
"Unfortunately, such a ship is not among our available resources, and none of our transportation specialists will have the requisite knowledge of your destination needed for a spell of teleportation. You will need to locate a ship through other channels."
"That figures."
- After defeating your Nemesis:
"Ah, <name>! You have arrived at a fortuitous time! I have excellent news for you!" "I've got some pretty good news myself," you say, just a little smugly. "I've defeated my Nemesis once and for all!"
"Have you? Marvellous!"
"Yeah... Um, I really didn't see anything that looked like an artifact that's vitally important for the future of the world or anything, though..."
"Ah, yes, the artifact. In fact, that is just what I wished to speak with you about. As it happens, we've located it."
"... You located it?"
"Indeed. It was discovered not to be missing after all. You see, Larry over there ("Hi," says Larry, waving) sent it out to be cleaned, and neglected to inform the rest of us."
"..."
"Dreadfully sorry about that. Larry's new. But anyway, it's been returned. And it would be remiss of me to allow that to overshadow your accomplishments in defeating your Nemesis! It will indeed nice to not have to worry about he any more."
"...Yeah."
"Allow me to compensate you for your trouble with some meat. I daresay you've earned yourself a good vacation, after all this!"
"Thanks," you mutter dryly.
- After encountering menacing thug:
"<Name>, buddy, good to see you've still got your head attached. There's some pretty sketchy people looking for you, and believe me, I know from sketchy."
"Yeah, I had a run-in with some of them," you mutter darkly. "It looks like there's a price on my head."
"Yep, that's what we're hearing. No dice on trying to find his hideout yet, either. You might wanna lie low till the heat's off. 'Course, that could be a pretty long time."
"Yeah, thanks."
- After defeating all the thugs:
"Hey, it's my buddy <name>! I thought your goose was cooked what with thugs and hitmen and like that."
"No," you reply, "I think I've seen the last of them, thankfully. Have a look at this -- I got it off of their leader." You hand over the secret tropical island volcano lair map.
"Hah, so it was a secret tropical volcano island after all, eh? I totally called it. From this map, though, it looks like you're gonna need some hardcore sailing gear to get there. A major ship, and guys to run it."
"Right. I was hoping you could lend me one?"
"Sorry man. We've got a few fast little boats for, you know, totally legit deliveries, right? But nothing that can handle that section of the sea. Look at these little squiggles, they look super dangerous. You'll have to scam a ride off someone else."
"That figures."
- After defeating your Nemesis:
"Hey, <name>, buddy! Great to see ya, babe! Wait'll you hear the news, it'll blow your mind!"
"I've got some pretty good news myself," you say, just a little smugly. "I've defeated my Nemesis once and for all!"
"For real? Hey, that kicks ass!"
"Yeah... Um, I really didn't see anything that looked like an artifact that's vitally important for the future of the world or anything, though..."
"Oh, right, yeah, well see... that's the big news I was talking about before. See, the deal is... we found it."
"... You found it?"
"Yeah, I know, right? Turned out it wasn't really missing at all. See, Larry over there ("Hi," says Larry, waving), he sent it out to get cleaned, and he kinda spaced on actually giving anyone else the low-down."
"..."
"Yeah, sorry. Larry's new. But hey, we've got it back now, and anyways, you beat your Nemesis, right? That's aces, buddy! Lemme tell ya, I was getting pretty sick of worrying about that guy wandering around loose."
"...Yeah."
"Don't let it be said we don't take care of our own, though. Lemme give you some meat, and you can take a vacation or something. Get a little R & R, a little downtime, that'll be just the ticket!"
"Thanks," you mutter dryly.
