Boar Boy

**Boar Boy** is a character in *Phoenotopia: Awakening*, a boy living in the wilderness of Atai Region with his four Boar "siblings". He is one of the "dojo masters" around the world capable of teaching techniques.

## Finding Boar Boy

Unlike any other characters in the game, Boar Boy can only be found in overworld encounters. According to mentions of him in Atai Town, players need to wander around and enter an overworld encounter in the **southeast** of town along the coast (the "grassy" part). There is a 1/3 chance in meeting him, whereas players will be facing Rock Toads or Boar Cubs in other odds.

*\*Boar Boy can be found regardless of the "color" of the overworld enemy*

## Side Quest

Certain people in Atai Town mention a peculiar "Boar Boy" who wields great power and would also teach martial arts lessons. He is seen sparring with his Boar siblings when he is first met. If Gail talks to him, he would mention not having enough Drake Tails to share between his siblings for dinner. Deliver 4 to him, and he would teach Gail the Tusk Strike technique as gratitude.

(Drake Tail can be purchased from the meat merchant in Atai Town.)

### Mentions of Boar Boy

(Boy outside Atai armory)

Apparently, the mayor of this town is a kid my age?!

Man... why am I so unaccomplished?

Then there's talk of a **Boar Boy**... who, get this, wields the power of a wild boar!

All I have is the power of a regular boy.

I hear Boar Boy does teach martial arts lessons... maybe I should seek him out?

(Elderly man above Atai armory)

I hear my grandkids talk of a **Boar Boy**. At first it sounded like a story they made up, but it seems he is real!

And he's a forgotten orphan. Sigh... What has this world come to?

Someone needs to step up and adopt him!

Me? Oh, I couldn't... I'm much too old!

(Young girl outside Atai Tailoring Tracy's)

I was picking up seashells along the coast, **southeast** of town, when this metal slug snuck up on me.

I was frozen in fear! Then, out of nowhere, a boy riding a boar picked me up and carried me to safety!

Now I desire to have a pet boar of my own! How does one go about doing that?

(Kiyoshi in Moonlight Ravine)

I hear tale of a strong martial artist to the **south**. They say he's **half-boar** and **half-boy**!

It is the fate of martial artists to meet to determine who is strongest.

### Boar Boy's Teaching

From the beginning, I've sensed in you a great potential to learn my move.

To perform this move, you must think like a boar. Disregard the self. Think only of trampling the enemy!

I call it, the "Angry Boar Charging Tusk Strike"! ... Or just "Tusk Strike" for short.

Whew! You learn quick!

Now go out there and strike fear into the hearts of your enemies!

Think like a boar! If someone gives you guff, hit them with the Tusk Strike!

Oh boar! We're going to feast tonight!

## Trivia

* Boar Boy is the only character who can only be found in an overworld encounter in the entire game. As such, that is also the only overworld encounter to not contain any enemy
	+ This is also one of the few that start Gail at the left end of the map rather than the center, other than the "Wendigo encounters" in the Scorched Lands Region
* Boar Boy claimed to be a Dojo Master despite never seen being inside a dojo, or any building for that matter
