Consensus goes to "don't stick the star in the chute."
Idea! Combine a Energy Weed and Energy Leafs into the reagent section of Skill Tree
The leaves off the tree aren't Energy Leaves. They're just regular leaves. You instead stuff two Energy Weeds into the Skill Tree as reagents. A little timer comes up in the "time" box.
I'm in favor of putting the essence of slime in the thing where the soul star was before we try anything with the soul star at least.
You stuff Slog's Essence in the chute. It just barely fits in there, but you manage to manage it work. You then head back over to the Checkpoint and teleport to the Underside.
We dont have any food.
Lets just leave, buy 2 health potions at the market, heal up, and then go Searching DL2 for the focus ruby.
I think its time that we get a healer.
+YES
+1
((Will they have any new mercenaries now that Slog is dead? We should check anyways.))
+1 to checking mercenaries (after soul star shenanigans)
Go to the underside and ask chief if he knows where is Al/how to operate the machine in the Greens.
Stow Key, new Soul Star, Skill Tree in storage
wop-wop-wopYou shrug and decide to teleport back to the Underside. Time to run some errands. First off: after retrieving your stash of
Stream Rubies from Storage (and placing the
Key, Soul Star and Skill Tree back in), you head up to the Worker's Council. Chief is, surprisingly, not here. Regardless, you check the list of available mercenaries once again.

Huh. Seems that a new recruit has joined up since you last checked. Going by the poster, she looks kind of like those creatures in the first battle you fought?
Either way, we should go back and check the current listing of mercenaries and at least see what they have available, as well as check out the shops and seeing what they have in store. Oh, and check the side-quests too, you never know when a useful one might show up.
You head to the market again. Interestingly, the shop inventories haven't changed since the last time you checked them.
Lets just leave, buy 2 health potions at the market, heal up, and then go Searching DL2 for the focus ruby.
Whoa, not so hasty there. You spend 10 Pence on Health Potions and consume one, leaving the other in your inventory as you're now at full health. Let's see... what else should you do while you're down here?
