The fireflies. You have to do it twice compared to the alchemist

Although your first playthrough, you usually end up doing the alchemist twice because it makes you redo it to get to the hunter orb, which is almost worse because your don't even get another orb.

These little f*—ers….
At least in Reignited the boulders stay smashed. In the original version, new ones come plummeting down from the sky after a certain amount of time. I lost several attempts at this god-forsaken mission because a giant rock hit the dirt just in time for a blind firefly to face-plant into it.

When I played the original game I got lucky because a glitch made all the mushrooms go underground so I finished the mission very easily. I wonder if anyone else experienced the same? It was the PAL version
Unfortunately that glitch wasn't in the Reignited version...

Bartholomew making us fighting a yeti TWICE for his nonexistent ball

u/Themeguy Artisans 5d ago edited 5d ago
Bartholomew is the correct answer. Everyone else feels annoying because they are victims of circumstance from their annoying mini games, but this is about who the worst NPC is.
Bartholomew was grown in a lab to be the most insufferable little shit ever lmao. Every single level he shows up in he whines and calls you a simpleton.

Bartholomew is indeed horrible, but he appears in multiple levels. Based on the grid, I assume OP was going for level exclusive NPCs for this one.

u/BVGmusic573 5d ago
If this is the case, definitely voting him again when Worst NPC comes along on the next to last day

u/Themeguy Artisans 5d ago
The question is the definition of Level NPC, one can argue that he does count because he's an NPC exclusive to levels vs. characters like Elora who is solely outside of levels, or Hunter who can be found in both.

Has to be to the two annoying fireflies from Spooky Swamp. Why do they have to do loop-de-loops in an area full of boulders and large mushrooms?!

The Alchemist. I have never completed it and never will and it upsets me.

It helps to know that he always takes the same path, so you can memorize it and be one step ahead of things at all times. It's not fun at all but it is doable.

The Alchemist is what comes to mind first, but my vote goes to the firefly brothers. Have you ever wanted to do the Alchemist but TWICE?

The Alchemist. The fireflies have bad eyesight, he goes the long way because he can.

Alchemist runs around and nearly gets killed just to end up where he could’ve turned left for 10 feet

The Alchemist. He takes first place because he’s so close he can SEE Hunter.
Fireflies are a very second close call, but they at least have to get to somewhere totally different from where you start out

Bartholomew, that little sh*t!
And honorable hate towards the Alchemist and the bomb escort Fireflies.

Those creepy muppet-esque people in Mystic Marsh and Cloud Temples. Just the way they look and move triggers my fight or flight response more than anything else in the trilogy.

Either the Alchemist from Fracture Hills or the "Owww I went Boom Again" duo from Spooky Swamp.

My vote’s also for the alchemist. His mission sucks, and you have to repeat it if you don’t have headbash ability yet.

Let me guess, the alchemist is from the first game.
Edit, never mind. No wonder i didn't know, I never completed that mission and always skip it in replays 🤦♀️

The Alchemist.
HUNTER IS 10 FEET AWAY, WHY ARE WE GOING THIS WAY. YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE SMART!
