Cerealology

Cerealology Explained:

Cerealology is a form of summoning "magic" in which you use common cereals from the skeleton varieties that inhabit the Breakfast Bog to create your own Cereal Skeleton minions!

In order to start the fundamentals of Cerealology, you must first craft the Cereal Box!

Crafting the Cereal Box is simple! Just surround a diamond with Cereal, a common drop from Cereal Skeletons.

Once you have the Cereal Box, you can begin your journey into the simple yet very in depth realm of Cerealolgy.

In order to create a minion, you will need a bowl of whatever type of Cereal Skeleton you would like to create. There are currently six types of Cereal Skeletons to be found; basic Cereal Skeletons, Fruity Cereal Skeletons, Cinnamon Cereal Skeletons, Crunchy Cereal Skeletons, Chocolate Cereal Skeletons, and Cookie Cereal Skeletons! Each of these skeletons spawns naturally, and has a 10% chance to drop a bowl of whatever type of cereal they represent. Once you have that bowl, place it into a crafting table with the Cereal Box, and you'll have your minion within the box, waiting to be deployed!

Your first minion, regardless of the type of skeleton you create, will be very bare-bones (ha, get it?), and not have high stats or a weapon. If at any time you would like to stow away your minion, just right click it again with a Cereal Box. Each Cereal Box can store up to 5 cereal skeletons at any given time.

Your skeletons can be equipped with various different swords, created using the cereal types (just the cereal items, not the bowls of cereal) dropped by the cereal skeletons. Just use a stick, and two of the respective type of cereal to create a cereal sword of one of the six types. Be warned, the sword only has 25 durablility for us players, but for the skeletons, it has infinite, and will never break. The stats of the swords, as well as the debuffs they inflict, are listed below:

Cereal Sword- 5 atk damage, 1.6 swing speed, no special effect

Fruity Cereal Sword- 6 atk damage, 1.6 swing speed, no special effect

Cinnamon Cereal Sword- 5 atk damage, 1.6 swing speed, 25% chance to ignite foes

Crunchy Cereal Sword- 6 atk damage, 1.6 swing speed, 25% chance to slow foes

Chocolate Cereal Sword- 7 atk damage, 1.6 swing speed, no special effect

Cookie Cereal Sword- 6 atk damage, 1.6 swing speed, 25% chance to weaken foes

However, if you fancy your skeletons to be ranged, you can simply give them a bow. You can even give them potion arrows if you have them!

Another type of combat that your skeletons can specialize in is magic, specifically pyromancy! Using Diabl O's found in Nether Fortress chests, you can imbue them with the power to throw high damage and igniting fireballs from a distance!

The last type of combat specialization isn't necessarily an offensive variation, but rather a defensive variation. Give your skeleton a shield, and they will run towards whatever wishes to harm you, tanking their attacks while you attack from a distance!

You may also be wondering how to increase the health of your minions. Well, there's an elegant solution; Milky Quartz! Milky Quartz is an ore only found in the caves beneath the Breakfast Bog, and it is an uncommon ore (about as rare as redstone, but slightly more common). In a crafting grid, surround a bowl of cereal corresponding to the type of Cereal Skeleton your minion is with Milky Quartz, and you'll get a Tasty version of that bowl, which will increase the minion's hp from 20 to 30, and it goes up in intervals of 10 until you reach the cap of 100.

There will be more unique additions to Cerealology in the future, and this page will be updated as they are added!
