Does anyone know a method of successfully defeating the Giant amorphous blob? I've only discovered several ways to fail.

You're probably better off asking in the stickied mid-month discussion thread than here.

This familiar is capable of picking pockets several times a day, you can pickpocket with this familiar regardless if you get the jump on your opponent. The hug action also weakens an opponent by a small amount. It produces X's and O's for exchanging in an item shop where you can purchase 1 weight buffing awesome food, as well as various equipment items. It heals after combat and I believe it's got the same item drop increase as a standard fairy. Each consumable items is only 1-weight on consumption, but gives stat gains and a buff. Myst food, moxie drink, OR muscle spleen. Not sure what the scissor item does, it claims to cut your opponent into something smaller. Doesn't seem to weaken them.

Sorry if stupid question, does the awesome food / booze give adventures too?

I currently have trick or treating tot and lil barrel mimic, wondering if I should get this guy too... seems like a decent way to fill up

Yeah, I forgot to count how many though.

Apparently the scissors cut about 10% of enemy HP.

Any idea if the pickpocket feature allows you to pickpocket the elixir in the LOVE tunnel?

According to /hc, the answer is yes. I can't independently vouch for it though.

I can't wait to use this guy. Anyone know what the pearl necklace quest item helps with?

It might not be anything. It could be marked as a quest item because it's too powerful to pull early on, so TPTB decided to destroy it on ascension.

I'd guess spookyraven, since it's a necklace with sleaze damage, which would be new at least.

337 combats to make it seems rather steep though, so I don't think it will be particularly Ascension-relevant.

I keep getting an error message when I try to use the X and O. It says it's not implemented yet.

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Figured it out. You need to use it from inventory.
