Changes: Circus

Revision as of 17:04, 19 August 2017


Circus
Area	East of the Mountains
Unlocked by	By talking it out of the clown at the Clown Campsite (requires Hornswogglin' 2)

Entrance

To enter the circus you need a ticket.
- The nominal price is 5000 Meat (10000 Meat in hard mode)
- With Hornswogglin' this can be reduced to 200 Meat, and with Dickerin' to 500 Meat

Outside the Tents

Here you can find a balloon vendor at either end of the grounds, 3 skill-testing stalls, 3 consumable vendors, a sad kid (who lost his lucky cap), the entrance to the sideshow, and the entrance to the main tent.

Entering the main tent requires you win one of the skill-tests.

Balloon Vendor

A balloon can be purchased from the clown at either end of the grounds (if you do not have a balloon already).

Test Your Might (10 Meat)

With 20 Muscle you win a small plush bear.
With 30 Muscle you win either a circus show ticket, or if you have one already, a large plush bear.

Test Your Mind (10 Meat)

With 20 Mysticality you win a small plush owl
With 30 Mysticality you win either a circus show ticket, or if you have one already, a large plush owl.

Test Your Aim (10 Meat)

With 20 Moxie you win a small plush kitten.
With 30 Moxie you win either a circus show ticket, or if you have one already, a large plush cat.

Hot Food/Lost & Found

You can purchase a clown sausage for 250 Meat
From the Lost & Found you can retrieve a hanky, lucky cap, pocketknife, and smelling salts

Cold Drinks

You can purchase root beer, ginger beer, or sasspaparailla (aka sarsaparilla) for 205 Meat each.

Cotton Candy

Sells surprisingly expensive cotton candy, at 300 Meat.
Purchasing a second one gives the option to also steal his slide whistle.
- You can trade it back to him for a free cotton candy.
- Alternatively, if you have not drained the List & Found of all items, you can place the whistle there, tell the Cotton Candy vendor that his whistle is in the List & Found, and thus learn the awful truth.

Sad Kid

He has lost his lucky cap, which you can offer to find for him.
After returning the lucky cap, the kid will offer to trade it for your balloon if you have one. He disappears after this transaction.

Sideshows

Entrance to the sideshows requires purchasing a ticket for 300 Meat

Mirrors

The leftmost mirror shows you as a clown; looking at it 3 times results in you showing no reflection.
Looking in the middle mirror twice makes you Sore (which is not good!)

Clown Eggs

From an initial inspection you can tell that the balloon-selling clown outside is actually one person. (To which he will now confess if you subsequently ask him about it.)
By distracting the clown (asking him whether the eyeball guy can blink) you can have a closer inspection, and note that the eggs are too large, and have been reassembled. If you also blanked the first mirror, you can further note that there is an egg matching your own, previously-reflected clown visage.

Pickled Punks

Initial inspection of the jars shocks you as a clown-painted grub-like creature in one of the jars lunges out. This is explained as a mere mechanical trick by the clown.
A second inspection reveals that there is no actual mechanism.

Freaks

Here you observe 3 people, none of whom seems to be there entirely willingly:
- A person with an eyeball for a head (suspiciously chained down)
- Douglas, a double-sided guy
- Janet, a woman with a mechanical torso.
  - Asking Janet about her condition can give you the Anatomical Learnin' perk.

Main Tent

At the end of your semi-willing participation in the knife-throwing, he hands you a coupon for a year's supply of dynamite.
Once the show is over you can go backstage to the trailer which is Barnaby Bob's Office.
- Knock politely, understand that he is here for the cows not out to kill people, and he needs you to gather information. This unlocks Danny's Tanner.

Notes

Doing the sideshows first is recommended as you might not come back from the main tent.

+== Entrance ==
-=== You might want to check the side events first if you are a achievement perfectionist <!-- btw this is my first article to make and on my 1st playthrough of the game so if i miss out on some details please change and add things for me such as deleting this comment --> ===
+* To enter the circus you need a ticket.
+** The nominal price is 5000 [[Meat]] (10000 [[Meat]] in [[hard hat|hard mode]])
+** With [[Hornswogglin']] this can be reduced to 200 [[Meat]], and with [[Dickerin']] to 500 [[Meat]]
+== Outside the Tents ==
-The toll for going in the circus is 5000 meat; I think that [[hornswogglin']] 2 will allow you to get in for 200 meat.  I recommend you get food or the sideshow first since after the main, '''you might not come back'''. In the side tent there are 3 mirrors; if you look in the 3rd mirror next to the clown, you will be amused ( not a perk or skill but just amused); if you look in the middle mirror two times you will get a negative effect (Sore- -10 max HP); in the first mirror (the most important) you will see a clown, look in it 3 times for it to disappear and then talk to the 3 freaks to the right. Make sure you ask them all the conversation options possible. If you ask the woman in the box to see her workings and you will get the perk [[Anatomical Learnin']] and will give you +3 melee damage. Go to the 2 different shelves and go the one with jars twice, then  go to the clown and click '''Ask a question'''  and ask him '''Whats with those weird mirrors?''' then ask him again but this time ask him '''About these... uh, people?...''' then '''Does he ever... blink?''' while hes over washing the eyeball guy's eye you have to check the shelve with eggs closer; do this twice and you will notice that '''they are more than just normal clowns'''. When you do that make sure you have atleast 1 of the 3 main skills (moxie,  mystic, muscle) at level 30, proceed outside of the sideshow to the left of the main stage and then do which ever event fits your stats and get a ticket to  '''Barnaby's special show!!!''' ofcourse as the cow-punching, bean-slinging, snake-oiling idiot you are, you have to participate in a knife throwing event and then you have the chance to go backstage to barnaby's office ( i think he likes you more if you knock politely and then go in) and if you answer smartly, you get to work for him and get money out of it; however if you act like the heroic protagonist, you will fail miserably and never allowed back in '''EVER'''.
+Here you can find a balloon vendor at either end of the grounds, 3 skill-testing stalls, 3 consumable vendors, a sad kid (who lost his [[lucky cap]]), the entrance to the sideshow, and the entrance to the main tent.
-== Some side events ==
-If you go the left under the main skill events, theres a sad boy who wants a lost bottle cap, go to the '''Hotdog +''' '''<sup>Lost</sup><sub>Found Stand.</sub>''' <sub>if you complete the quest you wont be able to get a reward from the kid, but you can get anything from the Lost and found box</sub> <!-- which includes a pocket knife, a handkerchief, and a bottle of smelling salts --> .  You can also follow this guide creating by someone else on Reddit "'''<small>Bwentali:   The Terrible Secret of Cotton Candy: Go to the Circus, Buy a cotton candy, do the rest of the activities at the carnival (play the games, go to the freakshow, get the bottlecap for the kid) then go back to the cotton candy vendor then buy another. you should have an option to buy cotton candy and steal his slide whistle. take the whistle, go to the lost and found vendor, view lost and found, then put the slide whistle into the lost and found. go back to the cotton candy vendor then tell him you saw his whistle. From there you will learn the awful truth, and then for a reward get another cotton candy.</small>'''"
