Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- Kingdom of Loathing account
- Computer with Internet access
Step1
Get the level 11 diary quest from the council, and adventure in the Pirate's Cove at the Poop Deck wearing Pirate Fledges. (if you have not already gotten them, you'll need to complete the F'c'le quest first).
Step2
Once you've opened Belowdecks, boost your item find, and farm the area until you get two snakehead charrrrms. Consider the They Might Be Giants song "I Palindrome I", and combine them into the talisman.
Step3
Equipping the talisman opens the Palindome, where you will need to gather the components of a palindromic phrase "God, a red nugget, a fat egg under a dog." Once you have gathered all 4, a shelf will appear, and if you place them in the correct order, Dr. Awkward will come beat you up.
Step4
Read the book he drops, then go to the Laboratory to do Mr. Alarm's quest; get the two wet stew ingredients from Whitey's Grove, and stunt nuts from the Palindome. Once you give Mr. Alarm the wet stunt nut stew, he'll give you the mega gem. Equip it, and the talisman, and prepare to face Dr. Awkward.
Step5
Dr. Awkward himself would not be very difficult except for the fact that he makes you fumble your attacks most of the time -- even if you have anti-fumble skills or equipment. The best way around this is to attack him with spells and items.
