The Codex is meant to teach you advanced techniques you can use in your normal runs, so your reward is knowledge.

That is a good point I did learn about 4 or 5 ways to kill the merchant lol

Btw, how do you do the last part with the gold weapon? I didn`t figure out how to agro the shopkeeper, so I just agroed him by throwing the gold dagger at him, then went back to pick my normal dagger and beat him normally like the previous shopkeeper.

You prep the throw (hit up+down) then activate the riches scroll, then you throw.

Don't make the mistake of activating the scroll first, it will wear off as soon as you throw it.

I actually Beat the shopkeeper puzzle by only killing one shopkeeper golden cookie for whomever figures it out lol

I feel like, if anything, there should be an achieve for just completing the story at all, personally. Not necessarily in "Story Mode" but just for clearing all the zones as Cadence, Melody and Aria, separate from the Aria all-zones achieve.

Ha. Agree. Especially since I only play this game in Coop. I can finish it 10 times without getting anything. :)

Ha. There was not riches scroll when I played it. Just 2 enemies who drop coin. Now I tried to room again and it had riches scroll like you said. Seems it was fixed in a patch.

Now I realized how the old version (which was much more difficult) probably was meant to be done; kill a green slime and play tag with a wizard enemy. Prepare dagger at good spot and timing so that the wizard will suck you onto the gold when your dagger is ready to be thrown.

I must say I don't feel like these advanced tactics for dealing with the Shopkeepers really helped. The situations it sets up are one in a million, you'd be better off laying bombs. It's nice I know the varied ways to killl Freddie but it's like...to what end?

Not really. I mean the dude sells you fireball and shield scrolls pretty frequently and for cheap.

Yeah. The riches scroll+golden weapon is rare though, as it only works with dagger and spear since you cannot agro the shopkeeper with other weapons. But besides that, i`d say that in a full run of 4 stages, you will get at 90% at least one of the special weapons shown in that tutorial puzzle (100% if you count bomb-only kills).

Biggest problem is though, that you rarely gain anything by killing shopkeeper and it only harms you. Most of the time you have the money to buy things (in full run at least), and by killing him you only hurt your future.

Well I mean it's pretty much essential for getting a high score. And there are a lot of shopkeepers at the portal shops to kill as well.
