Tasks

Little Man o

The Little Man as he appears in the inventory

When the player first talks the Little Man's wife in the Littles' house, she asks Quote if he has seen her husband. The player can then pick up the Little Man and bring him to the Little House.

At the bottom of the cemetery, the player should be able to spot a small pixeled figure wandering within the same perimeter the Gravekeeper walks in. This figure is the Little Man, of whom Quote can interact with to put into the player's inventory. If Quote meets the Little Man before talking to the Little Man's wife, he will say, "Yeah? Whaddaya want?" and remain in the cemetery.

Once the Little Man is in the player's inventory, Quote can carry him to the Little House, where the Little Man announces that he has arrived home. The Little Man is then seen in his house and Quote can talk to him for the option to trade the Blade for the Nemesis.

If the player talks to the Little Man again after trading the Blade for the Nemesis, he asks Quote if he is happy with the gun. If the player responds with "no" than the trade is reversed and the player reacquires the Blade.

You're gonna take me there, of course?
After returning home
Home sweet home is the best!
Wow wow. That's a beautiful sword there. How about we trade it for my splendid gun?
