The Big Tree (quest)

## The Big Tree

**The Big Tree** is a quest in *Laika: Aged Through Blood*.

## Summary

This quest is given by Primo at Where We Live, the interaction appearing after the quest A Heart for Poochie is complete. The quest will task the player in destroying The Big Tree.

> ***Destroying the Birds' religious center will undermine their troops' morale. Religion isn't a big thing in the Wastelands. Where We Live, it's reduced to the care of the dead. Not just because there's life after death (I'm living proof of that) but also 'cause you need to remember those who died before you if you want to help those who'll live after you.***
>
>

## Goals

* Look for Orella near the Big Tree
	+ After receiving the quest from Primo, the player must make its way through Where Birds Came From to get to The Big Tree. Completing the quest The Bonehead's Hook is required as the path is blocked by a General's Statue.
* Descend into the Big Tree's Catacombs and break the main pillar with your hook
	+ The path to upper floors will be blocked by a locked door, as such the player must proceed to the bottom of the Big Tree and interact with the door thus entering the foundations of the pyramid.
* Break all the secondary pillars to weaken the pyramid's structure
	+ Discovering that the main pillar needs to be weakened before the tree can be destroyed, the player must break the secondary pillars in a ascending order in order to complete this objective. These pillars and the breaking order are:
		1. The first set of secondary pillars that must be destroyed is located on the bottom of the tree near the entrance to the catacombs. The player will need to acquire a Bishop Head to open the security door. The Sacristy Door is located on the middle left of the lower levels. Destroying these set of pillars will unlock a path to the next set.
		2. The Second set of secondary pillars that must be destroyed is located on the lower-middle of the tree near the church area. The player will need to acquire a Bishop Head to open the security door. The Sacristy Door is located on the upper-left of that area. Destroying these set of pillars will unlock a path to the next set.
* Descend once again into the Catacombs and tear the main pillar down
	+ After all secondary pillars are destroyed the player must return to the catacombs on the very bottom of the Tree, either of it's entrances will work. Destroying the main pillar will progress the quest.
* Climb to the top of the Big Tree and kill Pope Melva VII
	+ Pope Melva VIII can be found in the new unlocked area, acquiring the Machine Gun prior to this boss fight is extremely recommended. The player will need to use to Hook to damage the Pope.
* Ride back to Where We Live and inform Primo
	+ Interacting with Primo back at Where We Live will complete the quest and award the player with the End Of The Road Cassette
Troubled Father

**Troubled Father** is a character in *Laika: Aged Through Blood*.

## Background

Head of a family of two living Where the Waves Die, he lived with his daughter, Lhey. However, his daughter has disappeared recently, leaving him particularly troubled.

## Interactions

* However, Laika can discover that he's a lot more troubled by completing Just a little girl and learning the ugly truth.
Xoot

**Xoot** is a character in *Laika: Aged Through Blood*.

## Background

One of the more exotic denizens of Laika's village, Xoot is nonetheless a talented crafter and leatherworker, offering multiple upgrades to the carry capacity.

## Interactions

Available during daytime, Xoot offers the following upgrades:

### Viscera Sacks

When the player dies, a sack will drop at their death point with a portion of their Viscera. If the player dies and loses more sacks than what they own, a portion of their Viscera will be lost. Each Sack upgrade will give the player an additional chance to recover their hard-earned Viscera with a total of eight (8) obtainable sacks.

### Bike Weapons Slots

At the start of the game, only two (2) weapon slots will be available. As the game's difficulty progresses, the player will need to equip more of them. A total of four (4) slots can be unlocked.

## Extras

* Given how Xoot presents their merchandise, this character is a possible reference to the Merchant from the game Resident Evil IV
A Gargantuan Swimcrab

**A Gargantuan Swimcrab** is a boss and the eponymous location in *Laika: Aged Through Blood*.

## Background

A gigantic mutated war beast mounted with a chaingun and "bubble" emitters that allow it to attack Laika as it chases her up the lighthouse.

## Defeating the boss

* The Swimcrab is a powerful foe and slightly frustrating, though mostly due to the amount of repetition you need to do. The fight has three stages, each corresponding to one health bar.
* Each stage is reached by ascending the tower, with the Crab in pursuit. It will rarely fire, if ever, and the fight will only begin when Laika reaches a static platform. It will stop and fire bullets (easily stopped by the bike), then follow up with bubbles. Blue bubbles only bounce Laika around, possibly spreading her brain matter around, so watch out. Once it stops firing, the pilot will emerge due to overheating, so just shoot him. Take too long and he'll jump right back.
* The second platform has a Bird soldier, so make sure to knock him out. They won't respawn, but it's easier to fight while just having to dodge the Crab's bullets. This time, the bubbles will include exploding red ones, so avoid or shoot them. Note that the bubbles follow fixed patterns, so moving around *less* is actually preferable for Laika's survival.
* The third platform has two soldiers. Knock them out and prepare for several volleys of bubbles (use a shotgun to take many at once, though note that if all pellets connect, all are used up). The boss fight ends as soon as you shoot the pilot.

## Extras

* The design of the cockpit is rather confusing. When the crab is climbing like as seen in the fight the cockpit seems to be in a normal position, with the pilot being able to sit and stand normally. But when the crab is walking like a normal crab the pilot would be laying down on his stomach against the controls and machinery within the cockpit. The only two explanations for this is either the crab was designed to only be used for climbing, or the cockpit can rotate.

* There's a rubber ducky inside the cockpit
We'll Never Know

**We'll Never Know** is a quest in *Laika: Aged Through Blood*.

## Summary

This quest is given by Primo at Where We Live, the interaction appearing after the quest Childless is complete. The quest will task the player in delivering the Large Seed to Orella's grave in Where Birds Came From.

> ***I'm going to plant a seed (which could very well be from the Big Tree) as a memorial to Orella's death. Primo feels as responsible for Orella's suicide as I do, but I can't let him sneak out of Where We Live, or the burden of deaths will weigh heavier on my shoulders.***
>

A Hundred Hungry Beaks as seen in game

**A Hundred Hungry Beaks** is a boss in the eponymous location in *Laika: Aged Through Blood*.

## Background

A massive war machine constructed Where Birds Lurk, the name of the machine was given by Jakob. Essentially a giant weaponized bulldozer combined with artificially grown, mutated birds, it is designed to murder

## Defeating the boss

As an introductory boss, Beaks has a single, predictable pattern it uses against Laika. Whenever you pass through the center of the arena, it will drive left to right or right to left (depending where it left the previous attack), with its dozer blade doubling as a ramp to use to launch yourself over the war machine and shoot the organic beaks. It takes about sixteen shots to clear its life bar (so that's eight jumps with two shots each), but note to position the bike between Laika and the Beaks, as it's not defenseless and will keep shooting.

## Extras

* It's unknown if the machine is piloted by a bird soldier or is completely autonomous
Maniu

* In-game
* Sprite

**Maniu** is a character in *Laika: Aged Through Blood*.

* After completing A Heart for Poochie, she will ask Laika do deliver a Brand-New Notebook to Dalia, who went out of the village to stargaze. This quest is required to complete the achievement ''Gift''

## Extras

* Due to the wording used by Maniu and Dalia during the quest Stargazing, it's possible that they have a close relationship.
Sober Up

**Sober Up** is a quest in *Laika: Aged Through Blood*.

## Summary

Once completed she will be found at the center of Where We Live during the night. This quest is required to complete the achievements ''Band'' and ''Gift''.

>
>

## Extras

* Given how much Pebble misses and how Iris is referred to in the in-game dialog, it's highly likely that Pebble had some sort of romantic interest in Iris when both of them were kids (a crush as one says).
* In the watchtower Pebble resides in game, one can see a thermal bottle and a strange drink to the left. That drink is called *Mate* popular in the southern Latin America countries like Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and southern Brazil. Renato Meyer, creator of the character is from Argentina.

After she made me look for it Where We Used To Live, insisting that she gave it to me when I first bled, she now claims she never said that. Her current story is that she gave it to me the day she taught me how to shoot. Probably bullshit, but worth a try.***

Hectist

* In-game
* Sprite

**Hectist** is a character in *Laika: Aged Through Blood*.

## Background

Being a Hectist appears to run in their family as they will mention their Great-Great-Grandpa's Diary mentions the location of a Bird Statue being nearby (Where All Was Lost), and most notably, the statue they're referring to is covered with graffiti, likely from her Great-Great-Grandpa, as the graffiti resembles a wolf's face.

## Interactions

* Hectist calls Laika a bonehead (which is a statement of fact on account of her bone helmet), and sends her off immediately in search of a hook, in order to do a little bit of anarchist praxis.
* After completing The Bonehead's Hook, Hectist can be found nearby to other Bird Statues, and disappear once the one in the area is toppled,
* Upon pulling down all the Bird Statues, Hectist will celebrate over the radio with Laika, and disappear from the map.

The name "Hectist" appears to be a pun on "Anarchist" and "Hectic", and doesn't actually seem to be her name.

The home of Laika and her tribe, the community of all the people who matter in her life. Where We Live was scouted by Laika and secured by Jakob shortly before they abandoned Where All Was Lost, to avoid an attack from The Birds. Said to be a place where The Birds will never find them, it still remains under the threat of their oppressive warmongering.

Worse than Hives

**Worse than Hives** is a quest in *Laika: Aged Through Blood*.

## Summary

This quest is given by Carey at Where We Live, the interaction appearing after the quest Worse than Nightmares is complete. The quest will task the player in finding some Phalseria Sap at Where Rust Weaves.

> ***The thistle stems that I collected worked OK to free Carey's daughter from bad dreams about dead Poochie, but they gave her hives.***
> ***Poor Sammie! Not only is she grieving her dead friend, but she also has to cope with hives and, even worse, she has to put up with her mother.***
>
>

## Goals

* Get phalseria sap from Where Rust Weaves.
	+ The herbs Carey requires can be found at the very top of Where Rust Weaves, just near some old tires in the toxic dump area. Interacting with the blue flower will progress the quest.
* Go back to Where We Live and give Carey the sap.
	+ Interacting with Carey during daytime back at Where We Live will complete the quest, rewarding the player with 1x Wood.
Mina

* In-game
* Sprite

**Mina** is a character in *Laika: Aged Through Blood*.

## Background

The peculiar feline specialist over at the village, fond of insects - perhaps too much so.

## Interactions

* After Pope Melva VIII is defeated, Mina will ask Laika to deliver a Birthday Invitation to her brother, Amon, researching winged insects Where Rust Weaves.

## Extras

* Mina's general lack of social skills and hygiene can be linked with a real condition called: Diogenes syndrome
Pope Melva VIII

**Pope Melva VIII** is a character in *Laika: Aged Through Blood*.

## Background

The last of the Birds' Popes, Melva VIII is among the weakest holders of the title, allowing the military to sideline him with ease. Although the papacy is a shadow of itself, Primo and The Elder still resolve to remove him from power and topple the Big Tree to strike terror into the hearts of feathered ones.

## Interactions

* Pope Melva VIII is the boss of the Big Tree, encountered at the Papal Terrace. He is one of the least complicated, though by no means the least challenging boss fight. Laika needs to hook him five times and bring him crashing to the ground to kill the pope, but first she'll need to deal with the eggs Melva uses for defense.
* Shortly after arrival, Melva will shoot out an egg that bounces all over the arena. When shot, it splits into two bundles of unborn chickens, which split again when shot (which means every egg will yield four projectiles by the end). While the egg is out, Melva is vulnerable and the hook can be applied to him.
* The challenge is in keeping track of the egg trajectories and the dead zones on the side of the terrace, as dropping down them wipes the attempt. One approach is to focus on the eggs to get some space and then hook the pope, cleaning up the remaining egg parts once the boss is recovering. In general, time is a concern, as failing to hook Melva or delaying too much will cause him to pop out ANOTHER egg.
The Two-Beak God

**The Two-Beak God** is a character in *Laika: Aged Through Blood*.

## Background

The self-proclaimed "Two-Beak God" is the last highly mutated Bird. He leads the civilians and millitary of the Bird Empire, and has attained this status by injecting himself with a serum derived from enxtinct birds and the dead Pope Melva VIII, creating a two-headed monstrosity.

## Interactions

* The Two-Beak God is the final boss of the game located in Heaven. Compared to the other bosses, he's actually pretty straightforward: He will attempt to attack Laika with his left head first, which will flash upon winding up an attack and can be easily dodged with a Dash. Once it's about 75% down, the other head will join the fight and try to kill Laika. Their attacks will also intensify, pecking multiple times.
* However, with the absence of secondary threats, it's a matter of figuring out the timing. Weapons are very effective, in particular if they were fully upgraded: The Rocket Launcher knocks off a bar and a half of health on direct hit, while the Revolver and Machine Gun allow for rapid fire that quickly drains the health bar - especially if you invest in the *Carajillo* (two Coffee Cans and a Mini-Whiskey chaser - it also adds another rocket to the launcher.
* Once it's defeated, the game will enter the final phase: The Egg drops, while Puppy contacts Laika that she bled - meaning there is no more coming back for the Grim Biker. Laika follows the Egg and in the interactive cutscene that follows, you can shoot the parachuting birds as the bomb comes into view. Once Laika is ahead of it, simply fire at it.
* Entering the bossfight will lock you out of the game until you beat him. His defeat results in the final cutscene and credits. If you decide to re-enter the save-file, it will take you to the last savepoint before you entered Heaven.

>
>

Childless

**Childless** is a quest in *Laika: Aged Through Blood*.

## Summary

> ***Puppy has disappeared. I'll raise hell if that's what it takes to find her.***
> ***I've been too focused on following the Elder's orders too pay any attention to her. Her closest friend was killed in the most gruesome way, and she hasn't even been able to mourn his ashes. I should've taken care of that. I should've.***
>
>

## Goals

* Find Puppy while she retraces Poochie's steps
	+ The quest fires off after completing all three war quets and returning to Where We Live. After sleeping, Puppy won't be found in her usual place. Stepping outside will show an active mailbox, with a simple letter inside: Puppy left to find Poochie. Laika swears to turn up the place upside down. Talking to all members of the village will yield minor clues (and Alfredo will shout his usual, though...), and Camilla with Mina will be the only ones to give a reasonable answer as to her location: Where All Was Lost, near the swings. Head over there, to the far east, then reach the end and a major clue.
* Find Herman at Camilla's bar
	+ Laika will automatically return to the bar and will force Herman to confess by threatening him with 40 years of torture - and she is quite ready to do that - and finally Herman breaks and spills the beans, admitting that Puppy was abducted by Beícoli. Then he tastes Laika's justice.
* Find Beícoli in the Undernest
	+ This is an interactive cutscene, essentially. You get to witness the Undernest and the "splendor" of Birds' way of life. Beícoli is found at the eastern end of the area in the Lonely Eagle club or Where Music Dies. Laika sits down, listening to a live version of *Hero*. When you've had enough, just click the attack button. Laika shoots the singer through the liver, extracting Puppy's location from her. Then the singer, too, meets justice.
* Find a parking lot on the West Side of the Undernest.
	+ Walk back and descend into the bunker. Inside is Trook, keeping Puppy hostage. After a brief negotiation, where Laika offers him her blood for her daughter, Trook decides to take their chances and shoot Puppy and Laika both. Results are predictable.
* Then Laika returns home, just as Puppy gets feverish and begins the process of becoming the next immortal: Menarche.
* After completing this quest, Laika will drive around without her helmet on.
