## Hidden Gumball

To get the Pinocchio gumball

* Buy 4 body parts(head, torso, arm and leg) cost is 500EP each
* Buy the Puppet Manufacturing Manual(1500 EP) from parts shop, and use it to summon Pinocchio. **NOTE:** The manual can appear in the store earlier than the body parts. **Cannot summon Pinocchio without the Manual even though all the parts are purchased.**
* Don’t let him die for few floors until a fairy appears. Pay 300k gold to bring him back to life. \*Tips: Use portal to prevent him from dying in deep floors. It can be used after summoning.
* Missing any of the body parts or the Manufacturing Manual would result in incomplete **Pinocchio for this run!** So keep an eye on every shop and have at least 1500EP on hand.
* When invoked, Pinocchio apparently inherits 50% of Gumball's Attack and 75% of HP. He/it has 50% dodge, attacks every 3 rounds and recovers 10% HP of its original HP when entering next floor.
* If you already have him, the process for 20 fragments is the same but the final cost is reduced to 200k

## Tips

* For an easy start, raise up your defense with metallurgy and biochemical skills (you can raise defense 12 points)
* Look closely at the image of the timebomb and cut the blue wire to diffuse it successfully
* If you chose Adventurer gumball as main or soul link you might get Vosebarker's Cloak from a villager, it gives 5 defense and 100% dodge when attacking enemy whose attack is lower than 30.
* Some Gumballs (mostly Mechanical ones) will give max level for one upgrade in the Engineering Manual when entering the maze as Main gumball, see Avalon Fortress/Specific#Starting Technologies

## Notes

1. ↑ In order for the cannon to break the **Heavy Steam Armour**, it needs to do a certain amount of damage which increase as you go deeper in the maze. The damage can be done in 1 shot or in multiple shots but the cooling time between shots can be annoying.
