{{name}} is a legendary creature belonging to the [[oozes]] faction. It resides in the the {{favilink|Tomb of the Eaters}}. | |||
== Overview == | |||
k-Goninon is described by {{favilink|Agyra}} as an "ancient and venerated {{favilink|gelatinous cupola}}". Ey state that k-Goninon has lived in the Tomb of the Eaters for "centuries" and that it obtained the Mark of Death by "consuming" it, allowing it to avoid the ire of the {{favilink|conservator|plural}}. {{favilink|Lebah}} describes k-Goninon as an "elder ooze" and claims that it stole the {{favilink|repulsive device}} from em. | |||
k-Goninon is integral to the quest [[Fraying Favorites]], granted by Agyra. The quest tasks the player with retrieving the repulsive device from k-Goninon, who will be in a random location somewhere within the Folk Catacombs. | |||
== Combat == | |||
=== Engulfing === | |||
k-Goninon's mainly attacks by approaching the player and attempting to [[engulfing|engulf]] them when it is within an adjacent tile. When engulfing the player, k-Goninon will inhabit the same tile as them, and will remain completely stationary. The player will suffer {{Heart}}6-9 damage every round{{Code Reference|class=XRL.World.Parts.EngulfingDamage}}<ref name="Object"><code>ObjectBlueprints.xml</code></ref> and will be unable to move; attempting to move will instead cause the player to perform a melee attack against k-Goninon. Additionally, the player will be unable to perform certain physical actions, such as [[Charge]], [[Juke]], and [[Jump]].{{Code Reference|class=XRL.World.Effects.Engulfed}} The player cannot be attacked by other creatures while being engulfed, and any attempting to do so will instead target k-Goninon. | |||
When k-Goninon engulfs a creature, a timer is started that begins at 10 and decrements by 1 each round. When the timer reaches 0, k-Goninon and its victim will "melt through the floor" and forcibly descend from their current strata level by 1 strata. This creates a {{favilink|deep shaft}} in the tile where k-Goninon melted through the floor. There is no limit to how many times this can occur; however, k-Goninon cannot melt through the floor if an obstacle is present in the strata level below, such as a wall or other impassable object.{{Code Reference|class=EngulfingDescends}} | |||
k-Goninon will continue to engulf the player until either it or the player dies. However, the player can escape being engulfed prematurely through means such as [[Teleportation]] or becoming [[phase|out-of-phase]]. | |||
=== Equipment === | |||
k-Goninon is unique in that its inventory is completely random every playthrough, and can consist of any item in the game that is eligible for dynamic encounters.{{Code Reference|namespace=Qud.API|class=EncountersAPI}} k-Goninon's inventory will be populated with 10<ref name="Pop"><code>PopulationTables.xml</code></ref> such items, which may be completely useless to it due to their random nature; however, k-Goninon will utilize any items that it can equip to one of its equipment slots, and thus can be encountered wearing armor and wielding melee, missile, or throwable weapons of any variety. | |||
k-Goninon only has one item in its inventory that is static across playthroughs; the {{favilink|repulsive device}}. | |||
== Special Properties == | |||
k-Goninon will always spawn with the Mark of Death. Additionally, it will never be hated by [[robots]]. | |||
=== Water Ritual === | |||
The player is able to perform the [[water ritual]] with k-Goninon if it is non-hostile, using {{favilink|slime}} in place of {{favilink|water}}. This allows the player to trade secrets with k-Goninon or recruit them as a follower, but most notably allows the player to gain the [[Slime Glands]] mutation in exchange for 100 reputation with oozes. This can be done despite any "genetic limitations" the player may have, such as if they are an [[Esper]] or a [[True Kin]]. | |||
== Tips == | |||
{{Opinion}} | |||
*If the player is able to pacify k-Goninon, such as through gaining reputation with oozes, they can simply trade for the repulsive device rather than having to kill k-Goninon to obtain it. | |||
*Care should be taken when engaging k-Goninon, as its random inventory could equip it with any number of powerful weapons and items, and there is no way to know what it will possess before encountering it. | |||
