Alchemist Event [I hate RNG]

[64M3R]

okay so the White Rat is supposed to grab you at one of the random sewer grates right? Then it will bring you to a secret area where either you will get the armor or class.

Well I found a grate and the Rat tried to grab me, but out of reflex i Dodged.
I've spent at least 3 hours running through The Great Sewers and Tiller's Rest.
Could not get the Rat to spawn again.

Is this a one time only event?
Who's the total sadistic maniac that comes up with these things? I'm fine with Skill based things like difficult bosses. You didn't dodge you died. Git gud. But hiding an entire class behind RNG? wtf m8?

I've had it occur on the same map, after reloading a few times. Ticked me off the random I was playing with repawned me at a checkpoint instead of killing himself...

I'm certain the event is one time. I had the same experience you're describing. I had to re-run in adventure mode. Re-roll adventure until you start in the town, not the palace. Knowing what I was looking for in adventure mode, I got it triggered within minutes.

Not every town segment can have the event happen. It should be one of the non-burning town zones.

The sewer also has pretty much the same event, but it does not lead to the class. It leads to their starting armor and iirc a ring.

if it's a 1 time thing I swear to Gaben...

[Theutus]

It's not a 1 time event if you miss it, or someone screws up and revives you instead of dying. Keep trying and reloading the map.

I'm doing one more loop of all the sewers. If it doesn't spawn I'm done.

This event doesn't only spawn in sewers. It can be in the overworld too.

nah overworld one is for the Class unlock. Sewers is for the Armor.

Also from what I heard is your light can affect it. Destroy any light source near by and turn your light off. However it can happen multiple times though I have heard the max is 4.

iirc I got Alchemist off Ironborough. But that is correct, sewers and tiller's have the Academic's Set.

I've died and done it again on the same map. I've also had the manticote come out the grate but fail to grab me (how does that happen??) and got it to appear again on the same map. I also had the flashlight on the whole time.

I think the trick is there's a LOT of open sewer grates on the map. Make sure you check ALL of them. If you can't get pulled you're probably missing one. I had no trouble getting the armor or class personally.

Idk about that. I just walked by a grate, then went back and inched closer and closer with my light pointed into the darkness. Still got grabbed :)

It's also possible to finangle a jump onto the opening in the sewers for the alchemist armorset

I definitely got them both from one event.

That wouldn't be possible, because the two enemy types when you land in drop separate things and tied to their respective zones, that their events generate onto. Armour only generates onto a sewer tile as it's a placed object. And the enemy that drops the class item only spawns in the over world title.
