Perfect

The alchemist is a member of the grazing hedonists faction who resides in Bethesda Susa, on the third level of the ruined ward.[1] They are a mysterious figure with a special love for all things liquid.

Character

The alchemist is a hermit and a liquid-tinker who has set up their workshop within the depths of Bethesda Susa. They purport to be a "connoisseur" of liquids, but claim to "dabble" in other states of matter as well.

The alchemist seems to be well known in Qud, at least amongst other liquid-tinkers. ichor merchants will occasionally mention their desire to "plumb the depths of Bethesda Susa" in order to meet the alchemist. Hortensa names the alchemist as an "amateur liquid-tinker, poet, [and] merchant", and claims their methods "aren't scientific", warning the player to be careful around them.

Wares

The alchemist is notable for selling one dram of every kind of liquid in phials, with the exception of water (which they have but won't sell).[2] This includes some exceptionally rare and valuable liquids such as cloning draught, neutron flux, and brain brine. They do not restock.

Combat

When aggravated, the alchemist will trigger an explosion using a phial of neutron flux they will never sell. This explosion has a force of 15,000 and will deal ♥10d10+250260-350 (Avg: 305) damage to anything caught within the blast radius, including the alchemist themself.[3] However, the alchemist will immediately cease hostilities and begin fleeing from threats if their hitpoints fall below 99%[4] of their maximum.[5]

As a member of the grazing hedonists faction, the alchemist is not normally hostile to other creatures and will be targeted by a majority of the creatures which appear in Bethesda Susa. They will also become hostile towards a creature who they witness attacking a blue jell. To prevent a retaliatory explosion, the player may either defend the alchemist and any nearby blue jells before they can be attacked or kill the alchemist before their hitpoints are high enough that they stop fleeing and use their vial of flux.

Properties

Speaking to the alchemist grants the Quiet This Metal achievement.[4]
