A Whirl with a Wind-Up Warrior

A Whirl with a Wind-Up Warrior is a boss quest in Habitica. In addition to receiving rewards, completing this quest will unlock the ability to purchase Wind-Up Hatching Potions at the Market for 2 Gems. The quest scroll can be purchased from the Mysterious Time Travelers for one Mystic Hourglass (meaning that this quest is only available to parties that have a member who at some time has subscribed for three months consecutively).

Clankton's HP (1000) makes this a long quest and its strength multiplier (1) makes this a trivial quest. Without using Warrior or Mage boss damaging skills, a four-person party can typically finish this quest in between three and four weeks. This quest is recommended for lower level (less than level 25) characters and smaller parties.

Description

Habit City is seldom quiet, but you weren’t prepared for the cacophony of creaks, squeaks and screams escaping Good Timekeeping, Habitica’s finest clockwork emporium. You sigh--you just wanted your watch fixed. The proprietor, known only as “Great and Powerful”, tumbles out the door, pursued by a clanking copper colossus!

“Ki-! Ki-! Ki!” it clangs, arms smashing up and down. Its gears grind and screech in protest.

“My robot Clankton has gone mad! It’s trying to kill me!” the supposedly Powerful one shrieks.

Even with a broken watch, you can tell when it’s time to fight. You leap forward to defend the panicking watchmaker. @Vikte and @a_diamond also step up to help!

“Ki-! Ki-! Ki-!” Clankton chants with each blow. “Mew!”

Wait, was that mechanical mewling amidst the murderous monotone?

Objective(s)

Defeat the Clankton.

On Completion

As you dodge the attacks, you notice something odd: a stripy brass tail sticking out of the robot’s chassis. You plunge a hand amid the grinding gears and pull out… a trembling wind-up tiger cub. It snuggles against your shirt.

The clockwork robot immediately stops flailing and smiles, its cogs clicking back into place. “Ki-Ki-Kitty! Kitty got in me!”

“Great!” the Powerful says, blushing. “I’ve been working hard on these wind-up pet potions. I guess I lost track of my new creations. I’ve been missing my ‘Tidy the workshop’ daily a lot lately…”

You follow the tinkerer and Clankton inside. Parts, tools and potions cover every surface. “Powerful” takes your watch, but hands you a few potions.

“Take these. Clearly they’ll be safer with you!”
