Part 5: Defeat the Egg-Napper Extraordinaire

Magic and other weapons don't work against this hopped-up-on-sugar menace at all.

Rare Monsters
Resurrected Rare Monsters - You can bring back a rare monster you defeated over a year ago by using a RE-ANIMATION POTION. However, the resurrected creature returns as a ghostly apparition—stronger and more resilient than before. Its attack power (AP) and health points (HP) are doubled compared to its original form. Zombies and Halloween Monsters (and other Event Monsters) cannot be reanimated.
Resurrected Rare Monsters - Wave 1
• The Ghost of the Great Red Dragon - A spectral, fire-wreathed beast with a single molten eye that gleams with the embers of its past fury. This ghostly apparition is steeped in magic, making it particularly resistant to magical attacks. Your magic staff and spells deal only half their usual damage, but your sword gains +2 AP against this beast. Other physical weapons function as normal.
30 Attack 100 Health - Reward: 30 Experience, The Shadow of the Orb of Fire (Grants +3 attack to a magic staff for a single battle. Disappears after first use.)
• The Ghost of the Great Green Dragon - This spectral beast prowls the catacombs beneath mountains of steel, its ethereal form almost impervious to the slash of a sword. However, magic can weaken its spectral armor. Your sword deals only half its usual damage, but your magic staff and spells gain +2 attack power against this foe.
36 Attack 80 Health - Reward: 30 Experience, The Shadow of the Orb of Earth (Grants + 3 attack to a sword for a single battle. Disappears after first use.)
• The Ghost of the Great Blue Dragon - This spectral ruler of the seas, lakes, streams, inlets, and fjords (plus any other body of water you can name) is a slippery foe. Both your weapons and all spells deal only half their usual damage against it. However, its watery essence reacts strangely to healing magic—each time you use a healing potion, the blue dragon loses 5 health points.
30 Attack 120 Health - Reward: 30 Experience, The Shadow of the Orb of Water (Restores +1 HP at the end of a single battle. Disappears after first use.)
• The Ghost of the Great Yellow Dragon - This spectral beast commands the skies—yes, like all flying dragons, but this one does it with extra flair. Your best advantage? Bat wings. By using 2 bat wings in a turn, you can take to the skies and fight the ghost on its own turf, increasing your attack power by 5.
30 Attack 160 Health - Reward: 30 Experience, Orb of Air (For a quest requiring 4 or more items, this reduces the required amount by 1. Only applies to Find Items Eligible quests. Disappears after first use.)
PotionsPotions may be used during or after battle. They do not replace your turn during battle and as many potions as you want can be used at any time.
Potion Shelf
• Minor Heal Potion - 3 Gold - Allows healing up to 5 health during a battle.
• Heal Potion - 6 Gold - Allows healing up to 10 health during a battle.
• Major Heal Potion - 9 Gold - Allows healing up to 15 health during a battle.
• Minor Poison Potion - 6 Gold - Poisons the monster causing 2 amount of additional damage at the beginning of the turn.
• Enhanced Weapon Potion - 9 Gold - Increases the damage of a weapon by 3 for the remainder of the week.
• Damage Potion - 12 Gold - For the remainder of the week attack and magic power are increased by 3 points each.
• Find Items Potion - 6 Gold - Magically obtain half the items needed for a specific quest. (Note the use of this potion when turning in your quest. If an odd number of items is required, the potion rounds down the reward. Example: Requires 3 items, potion provides 1. Requires 4 items, potion provides 2.) Note that this is only valid for items you receive in the game i.e. from quests or monsters.
• Time Walking Potion - 9 Gold - Allows one quest to be completed after it has been removed from the current quest list.
• Duplication Potion - 12 Gold - Allows duplication of one book currently held or in use by your hero. Duplicated books may be used for the same quest or activity or used in a new one. Books that have already been applied to an activity or quest may be duplicated.
• Weakening Potion - 6 Gold(must be unlocked through Alchemy That! quest) - Reduces your attack power to half of normal for both sword and staff (rounded up).
• Transmogrification Potion - 3 Gold(must be unlocked through Alchemy That! quest) - Transforms 1 dropped item from a common monster into any other dropped item from a common monster.
• Pet Plus Potion - 12 Gold(must be unlocked through Alchemy That! quest) - Doubles the effects of any pets of the hero for one week.
• Shield Potion - 15 Gold - Halves the damage taken by monsters for a single turn.
• Growing Strength Potion - 15 Gold - Every turn increases the attack power of both weapons by 1. (First Turn +1, Second Turn +2, Third Turn +3). Lasts for a single battle
• Re-animation potion- 50 Gold- Resurrects a defeated rare monster (including rare magical ones) as a ghostly version of its former self. Works only on monsters you originally defeated longer than a year ago. This ghost is far more dangerous than the original, with both its attack power and health doubled.
Upon defeating the ghost, you receive the same amount of XP and regular loot (such as potions, potion tokens, mercenary coupons, and gold) as you would for slaying the original creature. Any monster-specific items (such as gems, orbs, or body parts) will appear as the "shadow" of the original, and can be used only once before they dissipate permanently (e.g., the Shadow of the Orb of Fire grants +3 AP to your magic staff for a single battle).
Each rare monster can be reanimated only once, and the process does not work on Halloween Monsters, other Event Monsters, and zombies, as they’ve already been reanimated once before. You must defeat all the monsters in one wave before you can start reanimating those from the next. This highly specialized item cannot be duplicated by the Magical Pumpkin or exchanged for a Potion Token—(must be unlocked through Alchemy That! Part II: The Spectral Brew quest)
