Quetzal

* Normal
* Portrait

Dark Goddess Quetzal is an optional boss that can earn the player 50 XP and 300 GP with the Stamina Charm if defeated. She's extremely confident in her powers — and there's a good reason for that as there's no way to harm her unless the hero possesses the unique artefact. The Quetzal is gigantic and as strong as 50 men, used to worshipping and sacrifices. She stays on the mount Xiuh at the end of the first map and waits for the new foolish boys to come, having a bottle of lubricant ready. Three achievements are possible when felling this goddess.

## Preparations

In order to defeat Quetzal the way of battle you'll need to do some preparation (otherwise you will get an immediate game over upon encountering her). In the first town of Silajam wait until daytime and enter the Town Square. You'll need to *Listen to town crier* and then to *Eavesdrop*. You'll be approached by a man who knows the key to bringing the Quetzal down. You can:

* Just give him 20GP
* Pay with something else
	+ Rear: needs Perfect Bottom 3 to succeed.
	+ Blowie: Blowjob Expert 3 needed.
	+ Handy: Crank Master 3 and Charisma 4.
* Leave

When you pay with money/don't succeed with payment in kind, you can also pass Charisma 4 check to get a Gem item additionally. Even if you failed it, it is **still** worth paying him 10GP for it as the witch asks for much more later.

Next stop is the Witch's Cottage, located to the right from the river you need to cross. By showing her the Gem (or paying her in either gold or experience) you'll get the Goddess' Blessing that lets you start a battle with Quetzal. Prepare the equipment you need (for a speedrun it may be a Gladius from Arachne) and travel further to get to the mountain.

## Encounter

When you climb the mountain, you can see the terrible fate of a hero who didn't bother receiving Goddess' Blessing. After witnessing him getting bred by Quetzal, you can:

* *Attack* (without Blessing it will result in a long scene of getting pounded by her and a Game Over)
* *Seduce* (requires Charisma 8 and Purity rank ≤3; Catamite perk **won't work**).
	+ Having Top 3, you can do it in her mouth.
	+ You can satisfy her with your mouth.
* Strategic retreat

Seducing leads to peace talks and an agreement of sending to the her boys in the future that will ”conquer” her similarly.

If you choose the last option (retreat), you can return here with basically the same choice, but get an additional scene with the poor hero.

### Combat

It is recommended to fight in Ironman mode, as you can earn up to three bonus points there. If you plan to get Number One Hero achievement, it's better finish some other achievements beforehand and start a new character with additional stats, perks, and skills.

For the first ten turns the Quetzal will just stand there, giving you a head start while preparing to fuck you. If your build already is sufficient for travelling past mount Xiuh, this head start is usually enough to kill her or stack the Bleeds to simply stay in Block until she dies. After she starts damaging you, she's technically the strongest opponent on the first map, but still manageable and really basic. Finish her before her Full Nelson, as she's strong, and losing the grapple means an instant Game Over.

## Trivia
