The various "Hawkers" (hawks flying around the main room) will trade you a bazaar rat for body-dropped loot from various creatures.
Any time you engage a deadly darkbloom, right-click and choose Feed to feed it a frog. Kill the plant and collect a blackened frog leg from its corpse.
You will ultimately need 5 blackened frog legs from a deadly darkbloom.
a deadly darkbloom and netherbians respawn.
Repeat Visits: After following the strategies and completing the zone successfully, you may skip buying the items from the cat merchants on subsequent runs by hailing Percy, a cat that sits in front of you after zoning in.
First Walkthrough[]
Note: After your first walktrough you can shortcut (see below).
Note: Most items are temporary flagged. So if you leave zone, you have to start from the beginning.
Right-click on 30 Grit Sand Rune and choose 'auto consume'. (If you're doing this with another person, it's best to stand right next to the person and use the charm, then auto-consume it. It seems to not land on the person if they're more than 5m away, or if the charm is just auto-consumed without using first. Works the same with the upgraded version, and the same with both in heroics.)
Move the mannequins from ( -176, -3, 109 ) Copy/waypoint -175.70, -2.75, 109.13 and ( -201, -1, 47 ) Copy/waypoint -200.84, -1.48, 46.68 and place them near ( -120, -1, 61 ) Copy/waypoint -119.79, -1.49, 60.60
The female mannequin goes on the left and the male on the right. You can only carry 1 at a time. Once correctly placed they turn into a fixed mannequin.
Right-click the Lucky Horseshoe and choose 'use' whenever Short Shift's stoneskin is up (blue and purple detriment). Charm has a short range, and if you're with another person who used the charm, there is a notice in chat that says something like you no longer feel the luck of that person. Just move closer to them. You'll see a notice the effect is reapplied when you're within range of the horseshoe carrier. Works the same with the upgraded version, and the same with both charms in heroics.
'The battle is making a ghostly carrier angsty. Soothe it somehow.' Pat it down to soothe it.
Periodically 'Your Cat's Eye Agate begins to glow!' (as she casts "Monopoly of Souls"). Use it to interrupt her death touch "Monopoly of Souls"...or you are dead.
Periodically you get cursed by "Trade Route"
Trade Route Curse
Then you do much less damage to Trade Baroness Elsindir (Hint: Reactive damage spells e.g. Repentance still do damage in the normal way). You must search and click flags and pick them up to remove her damage immunity again. These flags can spawn between the wall next to the broken column all the way over to the area between Mausi's and Motor's huts.
Hint: Sometimes she'll cast "Monopoly of Souls" in the middle of an active "Trade Route". It is a good idea to re-target her between flags to catch her casting, and more importantly, to interrupt the "Monopoly of Souls" than to finish the Trade Route.
Collect Bazaar Trade Agreement from her corpse.
Locate Mia (trackable), a black cat wandering through the bazaar, and speak to her and buy:
9 Lives for 1 blackened frog leg and 1 bazaar rat ((9 trigger death save))
20 Cat's paw for 1 bazaar rat ((launches into air))
