Tiki Hub

*This article or section may contain **spoilers**. You might want to avoid reading further if you don't want to spoil the surprise for yourself!*

# Description

The Tiki Hub is a type of Civilization that is found at the end of the Volcanic Depths. Tiki Statues populate the Tiki Hub and, rarely, you will be able to recruit a Tiki Golem.

It is a large, hollow tiki head statue whose 'mouth' serves as the entrance to the civilization developing inside. It is unknown what causes the tiki statues inside to come to life, nor what built them and the Tiki Hub.

The following are the NPCs found in the Tiki Hub.

# Tiki Statues

* Female

The Tiki Statues are the citzens of Tiki Hub.

## Description

The Tiki Statues are sentient tiki totems. They are made out of some brown material and are decorated with green and yellow materials. They are hollow and inside them, something seems to be burning and emitting a dim, red light. Due to being limbless statues, they are unable to move at all, but they are capable of slamming their jaws with great force, causing Magma Boulders to fall.

## Behavior

They will stand in their positions and if a player interacts with them, they will talk with the player using their native language, which can be translated by the Translation Book. If they are attacked or robbed, they will start slamming their jaws with tremendous force, causing the ground to shake and making Magma Boulders fall at fixed spots. Also their mouth and "eyes" will begin to glow and shine in a bright white light. They are easy to dodge once you know where they fall, and do 4 damage. Killing all Tiki Statues will make Magma Boulders stop falling.

## Tactics

Due to them being unable to move or attack directly, the weapon choice is generally unimportant, although using ranged weapons may make it somewhat easier. They are perfectly manageable once you notice that the boulders only fall in fixed spots, and adequate use of the dodge roll will allow you to easily evade the boulders.

# Mana Tiki

 **Health(int.)** | 320

The Mana Tiki is the Doctor of the Tiki Hub.

## Description

The Mana Tiki is a powerful tiki statue, capable of using supernatural powers to a much greater extent than his brethren. It has a much darker, purple-ish color than his fellow tikis, and has two extensions which constantly gush columns of fire, adding to his imposing appearance. It is possibly the leader of the tikis, and perhaps also the original tiki, judging by his unique appearance.

## Behavior

The Mana Tiki and his brethren will stand in their positions and if a player interacts with them, they will talk with the player using their native language, which can be translated by the Translation Book. If they are attacked or robbed, they will start slamming their jaws with tremendous force, causing the ground to shake and making Magma Boulders fall at fixed spots. They are easy to dodge once you know where they fall but any mistakes may result in death, as they deal 8 damage. Killing all Tiki Statues will make Magma Boulders stop falling.

## Tactics

Due to them being unable to move or attack directly, the weapon choice is generally unimportant, although using ranged weapons may make it somewhat easier. They are perfectly manageable once you notice that the boulders only fall in fixed spots, and adequate use of the dodge roll will allow you to easily evade the boulders.

## Dialogue

* Step upon my altar
* Not very charitable
* Be grateful
* Battle shouts

* YOU DESIRE BODILY HEALTH.
* STEP UPON MY ALTAR AND YOU SHALL BE SPARED.

- STAND UPON THIS PEDESTAL, TEENY-TINY ONE.

- BASK IN MY CHARITY OF HEALING.

- I CHANGED MY MIND.

- I EXPECT COMPENSATION.

- I CAN SENSE THE ROT ON YOU, SICK TRAVELER.

- YOU ARE HEALED. YOU ARE GRATEFUL.

- MY CHARITY HAS BEEN EXPLOITED!

- THIS IS THE LAST TIME I HEAL TINY FOOLS!

# Tiki Golem

 **Health(int.)** | 15

The Tiki Golem is a recruitable NPC rarely found in the Tiki Hub.

## Description

The Tiki Golem is a golem made out of some brown material and decorated with green and yellow paint, similarly to the Tiki Statues themselves. They have a rough, exaggerated human appearance, with a huge, grinning mouth taking a large portion of its torso and head.

## Behavior

Once recruited, they will join the crew with a pipe wrench and will be able to do many tasks, such as repairing breaches, attacking invading enemies or enemies inside caves or using the Submarine's Turret.
Similarly to Crew Bots, they can be instructed through the use of the Command Wheel to order them to do specific tasks.
