Effect: | Breaks the brainwashing of guard turtles |
When Used: |
You snap the fouet de tortue-dressage over the turtle's head with a resounding crack! |
- Against non-French guard turtles (before defeating the nemesis):
- It doesn't seem particularly impressed. Unless by 'impressed' you mean 'annoyed'.
- Against a French guard turtle, or post-nemesis guard turtle (first time):
- Its eyes widen momentarily in surprise, then it frowns and redoubles its attacks.
- Against a French guard turtle, or post-nemesis guard turtle (second time):
- It blinks rapidly in shock, then growls and charges at you again.
- Against a French guard turtle, or post-nemesis guard turtle (third time):
- Momentarily stunned, the turtle shakes its head from side to side. It recovers quickly, however, and continues to attack.
- Against a French guard turtle, or post-nemesis guard turtle (fourth time):
- The turtle howls at you, trembling with anger and confusion.
- Against a French guard turtle (fifth time):
- The turtle appears to suffer some kind of mental breakdown -- it collapses to the ground, sobbing. You help it to its feet and escort it out of the compound.
- Against a post-nemesis guard turtle (fifth time):
- The turtle appears to suffer some kind of mental breakdown -- it collapses to the ground, sobbing. You help it to its feet and escort it out of the compound.
- The turtle blinks at you with gratitude for freeing it from its brainwashing, and trudges off over the horizon.
- ...Eventually.
Notes
- Only usable against guard turtles.
- French for "tame the tortoise."
- Every successful snap increases a guard turtle's attack power by 40% until you manage to un-brainwash it, making a multi-round stun after the first or second snap a useful strategy. Likewise, the Untamed Turtle familiar, which is received earlier in the quest, acts as a superpotato for Turtle Tamers and can block the attacks.
- The turtle must survive the battle. If it is defeated in the round you managed to un-brainwash it (by a familiar or passive damage, for example), it doesn't count as being saved.
- Freeing a guard turtle after defeating Stella leaves you eligible for Cold-Blooded Warm Fuzzies.
- Having Eau de Tortue in effect skips the first whipping message. It only takes 4 whippings to un-brainwash them with turtle pheromones, instead of 5.
- Taming a turtle does not kill it. No stats are gained and no items drop.
