Quests
Doc Galaktik's Quest for Herbs
When you first visit Doc Galaktik's Medicine Show, he is running short on ingredients for his medicines. After accepting the quest, you will be asked to gather 3 swindleblossoms, 3 fraudwort, and 3 shysterweed.
Completion grants a 33% discount on all items. The Vitality Serum is only available after completing the quest. Note that the serum's price is 40 post-quest, implying its "original" price is 60.
Doc Galaktik's Quest for a Cure
During the Gray Plague, the Doc used his skills to create various medicines to combat the disease. See the Zombie Cure quest for more details.
Notes
- In a Zombie Slayer run, the Doc is not around:
- Unsurprisingly, Doc Galaktik has packed up his cart and headed for the hills, leaving behind an empty lot.
- In a Nuclear Autumn run, the Doc is not around:
- You approach Doc's wagon, but what you took to be Doc himself is just a mannequin. Looks like he decided to duck and cover.
- In a Kingdom of Exploathing run, the Doc is not around.
- Vitality Serum is only available after you have completed Doc's quest
History
- The Medicine Show was revamped on April 21, 2015, introducing the Vitality Serum and Invigorating Tonic, as well as making the quest an introductory one. See the previous version.
References
- The traveling medicine show was common in early America. A slick, fast-talking, entertaining salesman would present a show to demonstrate the effectiveness of various elixirs, tonics, and cure-alls. These were done from the back of the salesman's cart, as these frauds had to be able to move out of one town and on to the next without delay.
- Doc Galaktik is a real-life friend of Jick's.
