Rage & Sorrow

**Rage & Sorrow** is a quest in *Laika: Aged Through Blood*.

## Summary

After the Birds killed his son Poochie, Jakob took my revolver and went after them.

The moment Puppy told me, I knew we were doomed. Because Jakob is like a brother to me, but more importantly, Poochie is like a brother to my kid Puppy. Tragedy will make her grow up, and if there's one thing in this world I fear, it's Puppy growing up.

## Goals

* Find Jakob
	+ After you find the remains of Poochie, the game introduces the mechanics of driving the bike. There are no enemies, so get used to the bike, then head down into the bunker. Eventually, you'll find the wounded Jakob, who gives Laika her revolver back and promises to stay alive. The next goal is to find the boss to prevent the war machine from endangering Where We Live.
* Kill the Hundred Hungry Beaks in the depths of the bunker
	+ Contrary to the goal, the boss is located to the upper left of the map, in a large warehouse. You need to retrace your steps and head to the warehouse (you'll know when you find it).
* Find a huge elevator to get back to Jakob
	+ After defeating the monstrous war machine, head right and find the elevator. As it turns out, there are a lot more mutants being grown by the birds for the purposes of their schemes. The implications are... Troubling. But first, Jakob must be buried according to the rites of the tribe.
The Elder

**The Elder** is a character in *Laika: Aged Through Blood*.

## Background

The head of Laika's village and together with Maya the force behind the village's survival. Although bound to a wheelchair, she is a powerful presence and her orders are followed without question.

## Interactions

After Jakob's death, she declares the village on a war footing and prepares to wage war upon the Birds for the survival of Laika's people. However, there is more than meets the eye, and as Laika crosses the Wastelands, more facts come up to the surface: Such as the Elder and Maya forcing Laika to have one more daughter, Puppy. This results in extremely strained relations that Laika eventually summarizes with "*Fuck you, Elder*".
Merchant

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

## Background

This mysterious itinerant merchant appears throughout the world, offering some last minute purchases for viscera.

## Interactions

* The Merchant typically pops up before a potentially hazardous location, offering supplies. These depend on location and status, eg. at Where Our Ancestors Rest he might offer the Toy Bike and the game console on top of discounted candles.
* The Merchant also offers the musicians' equipment: Erhu Strings, Flute Cleaning Brush, and Sheet Music.
Refined Metal

**Refined Metal** is an item in *Laika: Aged Through Blood*.

## Description

This material is the common item used in crafting equipment and weapons. Refined Metal can be found in chests scattered throughout the world, and bought at Gas Stations for 1000 viscera.

> ***''Finding good quality alloys feels like little miracles.''***
>
>

## Characteristics

* Refined Metal is a RARE material, thus only dropping from special chests at a rate of one (1) item per chest. Unlike other common material, these chests will **NOT** re-spawn once opened. It's **NOT** possible to boost the quantity dropped by using Cooking Recipes due to the low drop rate.
A Heart for Poochie

**A Heart for Poochie** is a quest in *Laika: Aged Through Blood*.

## Summary

This is the first main story quest the player will receive from Puppy, testing the player's abilities learned during the tutorial, in both combat and maneuvering.

> ***Puppy wants a heartglaze flower for Poochie's wreath.<br><br>It was quite a relief that Puppy swallowed all that "funerary friend" bullshit I came up with. Luckily, she's still young and gullible. Though, it wouldn't surprise me if all these traumatic events sped her growth. And if there's one thing I fear in this world, it's Puppy growing up.***
>
>

## Walkthrough and history

   After the player has completed Rage & Sorrow, attended Jakob's funeral, and returned to Laika's house, an option to interact with Puppy will appear. She tells the player how much she mourns the death of her best friend Poochie, citing intentions to avenge his death. To prevent Puppy from endangering herself, Laika will appoint her as ''Poochie's Funerary Friend'' with the task of making him a wreath. Puppy will then task the player in collecting a Heartglaze Flower from Where Our Ancestors Rest. It's not possible to progress without interacting with her.

   The player must then make their way to the very top of Where Our Ancestors Rest, where the second boss of the game named A Long Lost Woodcrawler is located. The principle behind this boss is to shoot off the Birds hanging from it's underside before they shoot back, blocking or parrying their bullets once they do.

Once the boss is defeated, the player must grab the flower and return it to Puppy at Laika's House, thus completing the quest and rewarding the player with one (1) Quality Leather.

## Goals

* Find a heartglaze flower Where Our Ancestors Rest
* Give the flower to Puppy so she can finish the wreath

## Background

Ava is one of Laika's lost daughters, killed by the fever.

## Extras

* Given the words exchanged by Laika and Shaza as well as the vision the player receives after defeating A Gargantuan Swimcrab, Shaza can be considered on of Laika's closest friends.

* We can see Shaza's skull during the vision Laika sees after defeating the A Gargantuan Swimcrab, based on the shape of the skull it is likely that underneath the tv helmet Shaza is some form of ungulate, likely a sheep.

## Background

A decaying metropolis dominated by crumbling concrete high rises with shabby living quarters and moribund or already dead businesses, Undernest is the vision of the future sold by the Birds. Despair, crushing poverty, and ever-present reminders to sell your kidneys, pawn your mementos, and pay-pay-pay dollars to fuel the capitalist machinery of the Empire dominate the environment with little in the way of greenery or anything natural.

Beícoli found her end here, singing at a dive bar to make ends meet. Laika is well aware of where it is located, but would rather stay away as much as possible. Unless, of course, someone does something very, very stupid to Puppy.

## Points of interest

* The Undernest is part of an interactive cutscene, where a disguised Laika infiltrates the city as a Bird soldier, in order to locate and save her daughter. It's not accessible in normal gameplay.

Laika

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

## Background

The latest in a long line of shamanistic road warriors, Laika bears her family's curse. Upon menarche, she inherited her mother's power, becoming immortal: Whenever she suffers a mortal injury, she instead passes through the spirit realm and reforms at the last bone memorial she visited. What some would regard as a blessing, she regards as a curse - one that will pass to Puppy, her daughter, once she experiences her first menstruation.

Much of it is tied to her family's turbulent history, chafing under the strain of responsibility she didn't ask for, and losing eight daughters to the fever that passes the curse on - or kills the child. She says their names like a prayer - Mila. Carly. Isla. Ava. Brisa. Kaila. Alani. Iris. - and explicitly refused to give Puppy a name, trying to not get attached. Another issue is that after Iris Laika swore she'd never get pregnant again, but was forced by The Elder and Maya, who argued someone needed to succeed Laika as the guardian of Where We Live.

Despite that, Laika formed the greatest bond with her, trying to give Puppy as normal an upbringing as she could. This included trying to keep Maya at a distance, to prevent her from forcing Puppy to grow up too fast.

## Trivia

* Laika is the main playable protagonist of the game.
* Laika got her name from the first living animal in space - Laika.
* Her story was originally about building a rocket together with her brother to escape deserted planet.
* Laika is confirmed to have at least 6 more daughters in the past.
* At the start of the game, Laika can be seen tending to a bone memorial, that grave is most likely one of her husbands as bone memorials are decorated based on the age and gender of the individual.
* The culture of Laika's people is a descendant of the one presented in the game Grotto by Brainwash, in that game children are conceived via a ''special night'', this suggests that Laika had in fact multiple partners.
* The game Mother of Many tells the story of one of Laika's family ancestors, which kills her offsprings before menarche in a attempt to please the spirits and bring prosperity to the barren lands which they inhabited.

>
>

## Goals

* Travel to the Floating City.
	+ This requires ascending to Where We Spy on Birds and entering the Hangar, then navigating to the Control Area to meet Pluck. Interacting with him will progress the quest.
* Open the main gas valve in the City Facilities, to the southeast.
	+ This area is self-contained. However, just opening it won't open enough helium flow to let Laika ascend.

* The next step is to turn off the gas at the Factory in the northwest and the Office Hub to the northeast.
	+ After opening the valve at the City Facilities, interact with Pluck where he will task the player in opening the valves in the Factory and Office Hub.

* Ascend to Heaven
	+ Once all valves are opened the option to ascend to heaven will appear at the console near Pluck. Activating the console will trigger a no-return warning, however this is not accurate as the player can still use the Large Bone Memorial in the Control Area to teleport away.

* Kill that monster of a Bird.
	+ Proceeding up the helium columns the player will be confronted by The Two-Beak God. See the article for details.

* Finally, Puppy contacts Laika after the God is dead, revealing that she finally bled and has her powers now. With the Egg dropping, Laika follows it.

The Devil

**The Devil** is the main antagonist and the final boss of *Cuphead: Don't Deal With the Devil* as well as the overarching antagonist of its DLC, *Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course.* As ruler of the underground isle of Inkwell Hell, he resides within the colossal, castle-like casino that takes up most of the isle's landscape.

The Devil is encountered in his throne room inside of the casino, after which he is fought in the final stage One Hell of a Time. Upon his defeat, the game's narrative concludes.

In Summer's Adventure Series, he works with Dark Summer, Hyena, and the rest of the Dark Summer Empire

## Personality

As the series' own interpretation of Satan, the Devil is an appropriately sinister character, being feared for his adept use of trickery and deception. By taking advantage of his victims' latent greed, the Devil is shown to use gambling at his casino as a method by which to encourage his victims into making increasingly reckless, Faustian bets, eventually culminating in the forfeiture of their soul to him upon their loss. While only the ruler of the underground depths known as Inkwell Hell, the threat of his influence can nevertheless be felt all across Inkwell Isle. Even Cuphead and Mugman are said to have received "many warnings" by the Elder Kettle to steer clear of the casino entirely. He is also very evil, as when Cuphead loses and the devil wins the bet, he is always willing to take their souls with no problem at all. The Devil has no problem of using something to destroy a person during a battle, showing him as not just evil, but unusually very murderous too. Despite these traits, whenever he is talking to his closest minions, such as King Dice, he is usually happy and normal to talk and chat with him.

Both a liar and a cheat, the Devil naturally has no problem with going back on his promises so long as it benefits him, turning Cuphead and Mugman into his slaves for handing over the soul contracts in spite of promising to spare them if they do. He holds very little sympathy for those in his employment, as shown when he declares his right-hand man, King Dice, a *"good-for-nothing lackey"* after the latter has been beaten. Since then he had still remained as the dark figure that people fear, as all the other bosses were afraid about being the Devil's slaves.

In *The Cuphead Show!*, the Devil remains the same, but has a more flamboyant and comical side to him, acting sassy and a bit childish at times. In the first episode, he gleefully sings about how great it is to be him, how he adores being a naughty bully to the Isles' locals, and that collecting the inhabitants' souls is his favorite hobby.

The Devil's main trait is that he is incredibly prideful of himself, believing he'll always win and get what he wants in the end. This pride is what leads to his failures in both the game and the show.
