Overview
Giant drill found in Cave System
The Drill Quest is a optional side quest that the player can partake in. The quest can be started by entering the Cave System portal spawned at the end of the Alchemist Observatory.
When entering the Cave System for the first time, the player will be put in a small dialogue cutscene with Joe the NPC.
Guide
In order to complete the Drill Quest, the player must obtain and bring Joe certain items. These items will most likely be obtained throughout multiple runs; progress towards the Drill Quest will be saved permanently on the save file.
Part 1:
- The player must bring Joe the Drill Engine.
- The Drill Ending can be occasionally found spawned in the Holy Mountain on the Offering Pedestal.
Part 2:
- The player must bring Joe the Electric Charge spell.
- Even though the in-game dialogue from Joe can be assumed that any electric-type spell can work, this is not the case.
Unlocks
Upon completing the Drill Quest, the player will unlock a Shortcut Portal which will spawn on the opposite side of the Cave System. This portal will continue to remain spawned in the Cave System permanently throughout runs.
The Shortcut Portal will allow the player to skip The Vault / Frozen Cavern (Floor 5) altogether and send them to the next Spell Shop.
Additional Notes
- Although very unlikely, the player can obtain both items in a single run to complete the Drill Quest. If this happens, the Shortcut Portal will not open until the next run the player starts.
- The Cave System area is not considered a safe-zone and will still damage the player.
- The Cave System portal will spawn in the same place as NPC Portals do at the end of a floor.
