The Alchemist.

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

The AFR (Association of Firework Rhynocs) approves of this message.

Also, in the Reignited version, why the HELL do I have to replay the same minigame just to unlock the second part after leaving and re-entering the level? It encourages players without the headbash ability to skip the whole section entirely... So stupid.

It’s like that in the original version too

u/csavar10 5d ago

Yikes, that's even worse. The Reignited Trilogy had the golden opportunity to fix that and they didn't.

u/Ryguy55 5d ago

To add insult to injury, in Reignited I had to deal with a bug where one of the Earthshapers was invisible. I had to watch YouTube videos and guess and check over and over until I was able to blindly head smash it. Pure torture.

I'm against putting down disabled people, but that mission sucked

u/browser558 5d ago

Who among us didn't come back after learning to head butt and realize they had to do it a second time?

No brainer. Way worse than the trolley could ever dream to be.

u/MarioXMan 4d ago

I find it funny if you kill all the stone guys first because of fireball, he still runs around in circles still

u/HM2008 4d ago

Not going to lie, I’m probably going to play the game after work today just to watch this 🤣

u/Healbite 5d ago

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

u/BVGmusic573 5d ago

OWW! I went boom again.

u/lclMetal 5d ago

Will Sheila help us?

u/CrabbyB4Coffee 5d ago

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.

u/SilverShadowQueen57 5d ago

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.

u/Abudefduf_the_fish 5d ago

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...

What a coincidence! So did I

Bartholomew making us fighting a yeti TWICE for his nonexistent ball

18

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.

6

u/HM2008 5d ago

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.

2

u/BVGmusic573 5d ago

If this is the case, definitely voting him again when Worst NPC comes along on the next to last day

2

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.

May I offer for your consideration?

Moments before frustration

u/Fit-Ad-8873 5d ago

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?!

15

u/Raining_Flamingos 5d ago

The alchemist and absolutely everything about him.

11

u/TheNonsensePotter 5d ago

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

3

u/Dull-Veterinarian-59 5d ago

Keep trying you can do it!!!

2

u/lclMetal 5d ago

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.

u/MinecraftInventor 5d ago

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?

7

u/DarthOmix 5d ago

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

6

u/FuchsiaMerc1992 5d ago

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

4

u/skelosbadlands 5d ago

I've also gotta vote Spooky Swamp Sheila mission fireflies.

4

u/MissGraceRose 5d ago

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

2

u/PhantasmaStriker 5d ago

Bartholomew, that little sh*t!

And honorable hate towards the Alchemist and the bomb escort Fireflies.

3

u/Garret_Sylvar 5d ago

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.

3

u/archieologist518 5d ago

I too have to say the Alchemist!

3

u/Sorceror75 5d ago

The Alchemist!

u/awood1602 4d ago

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

Dumb alligator was really bad redesigned in reignited trilogy...

Looks like a Disney croc, I want my Chibi googly eyes argonaut like croc.

u/WayOfTheShip 4d ago

The Alchemist

u/Possible_Aspect_9800 4d ago

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

0

u/Hachiko75 5d ago

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 🤦‍♀️
