Unlocking Pochette/ Story progression

[J-Biscuitz]

Hey Everyone,

I have 4 characters unlocked, all of the areas unlocked - however I cannot figure out how to unlock Pochette. I have met her in 2 out of 3 areas, but cannot seem to find her anywhere (I read elsewhere it was the frozen area, that didn't work either).

I'm a bit lost on what to do at this point in the game. I have all major buildings built... do I need to do more runs with other characters? I've barely touched anyone besides Purse and Satchel quest wise.

Thank you in advance!

Her last spot is in the 3rd area, 2nd to last floor (just before the final spiral boss floor) in the magma area. X}

Found her when I was doing the mayor bit (first 3rd area run I've had, just cleaning quests up)

So it's magma, not frost? Am I able to have her show up on a normal run? I already finished the mayor quest

I can confirm that she showed up in the magma area for me on a normal run.

Not sure if it's a specific floor or not, make sure to check every ? location.

Thank you for the information - I am doing a normal run now and will circle back to confirm

CONFIRMED. After finally going to the magma area, I was able to battle her (500 HP) and bring her home. After this I was able to progress the story. To anyone who is looking, "UNLOCK POCHETTE BACKPACK HERO" go to Magma after having fought her in the other 2 locations. Thanks community!

This may also seem obvious to people who aren't me, but it seems like you HAVE to be playing as Purse to unlock her. I was playing mostly as Satchel (he and Pochette are my favourites), and I even when I would get to the end zones I would find her, and then I played as Purse (after saving the dad) and found Pochette right away in the magma zone.

how do you unlock Satchel?

Quest to bring the flute, then you have to beat her when she assumes you did something to the guy that asked you to take it down there.

I did this and it didnt work, but it wasnt a normal run. I am to assume noraml runs are required?

False. It's pure luck if she decides to appear or not, and can appear in either of the tier 3 areas, not just magma. I ran both ways multiple times on normal runs and she finally appeared in frost arbitrarily.

Has to be normal, or possibly easy mode on one of the other unlockable characters, but I believe you have to be Purse so I wouldn't count on that.

I am running into this problem too. Thinking about what might be causing this problem:

ANYONE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM: Did you make the Beacon BEFORE unlocking Pochette? (I did, and I'm wondering if that's what is breaking things.)

[HSalgo]

Found her. It might be random. The Bramble > Enchanted Swamp > Magma Core on Floor SEVEN (NOT Eight).

Right before I started this run (Purse, Standard Run, no special skin), I destroyed the Beacon, talked to Constance, left + reloaded, rebuilt the Beacon, talked to Constance, and then went straight to the run without leaving + reloading.

I'm not sure what's causing this other than RNG. (This was my fifth or sixth 3 Act Run.) Good luck!
