A Bit of All Guide: An Axolotl Experience

Just a bit of everything.

Ingredients

These are important to collect, needed for upgrading/building your Axolotl the way you want them to be.

You will come across these randomly but will be needing to shoot them about 3 times before they break down, so that you can collect the ingredients.





Leaves
Can be found in the first biome.













Salt Mine
Can be found in the second biome.













Honey
Can be found in the third biome.













Mushroom.
Can be found in the fourth biome.












Don't shoot these Red Pepper
Beware of these in the fourth biome, they explode.















Tentacles
These are in the fifth and final biome.











Fish
After each Boss Battle, you'll come to some resting map, with a fire to your right that heals you and a fish that's fishing on your left.
Shoot his bucket to collect the fish.

Cookies

You may find these buggers here and there while just playing the game.
These are ''for now'' only meant for unlocking your 3rd stat on your Axolotl.

The Specialization upgrade.

How?

First you walk up to the chicken to open up your Axopedia.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll see in your screen that you can press [R] to open up your ''Weapon Spec''.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: If your Axolotl isn't fully grown, it won't show up cause babies can't learn it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now you may choose which Passive you want to give your Axolotl.

Cooking up your stats

Once one or more Axolotl are fully grown at this point, they can be fed.

So when the time comes and you have enough of each ingredient, it's time to start cooking!

Each meal has it's own ingredients and stats, read these carefully before you waste your ingredients.

Just an example view of the 3 bars of stats your Axolotl can have.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first bar of stats is given through Meals.

These show how much Health, Shields and Speed your Axolotl is gonna get.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for the second bar of stats comes from Desserts.

This will be the ability your Axolotl will use.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But for the third bar, you will be needing Cookies.
Yes.. Cookies... Collect 5 of them through your playthroughs and you're done!

These will let you pick an specialization passive for your Axolotl.

Axolotl Icon -> Here you will get new baby Axolotl.



















Boss Icon -> Boss Battle.

Hidden Rooms

The walls can't be shot down while there are monsters crawling around so kill everything first!

Once your loot chest has spawned in (looted or not), only then can the wall be shot down.

Now what i've noticed is that all my Hidden Rooms where on the Right Side of the map.

Here is how they look like, keep an open eye!





























































-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In these Hidden Rooms i've found a few things.

- A baby Axolotl.
- A chest with random loot. (Doraditos / Ingredients / Diamonds / Cookie / Weapons)
- Sometimes monsters.
- Sometimes even nothing... Empty.

I did got a Mario Easter Egg at one point! xD

The Blisstaker

Once you have the Blisstaker ''the creepy crow'' move in into your little village, you'll see what the Hearts are used for.
These will get you Perma-upgrades, useful and always good to have.

So it's best to focus on this once you have it available.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your first step is getting you to Nurture your baby axolotl's.

Note: Don't grow them! Otherwise it won't work anymore.

Best is to have the ''Love bar'' full before absorbing, for more Hearts.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Place them around the Crystal like this and Absorb.


Now talk to the Crow and he will have a list of option you can choose from.

Worthy note: After you have absorbed the babies, they will go to sleep, see this as a cooldown.
You will not be able to Nurture them again for a while.

The Mimic

Finally got one to spawn! Sad news for now, it's purely by luck..

It doesn't matter if you play on Easy or Hard!

I've found mine in the 5th Biome, inside a Weapon room.

At the end of the run you'll get a chest that looks like this.












Do be careful if you have 1 point of health left, upon opening the chest, i took damage.












His attack pattern is relatively easy, 1 big bullet towards you, however once against the wall, it splits into multiple smaller ones, so stay on your guard.

Once it's dead, you'll be rewarded with the Steam Achievement and a Axolotl baby upon returning to your village.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I did notice that once i inspected the baby at my village, it had his Biome picture set to the 2nd one.
Should mean to me that it's possible to ''find'' the Mimic once you set foot into the 2nd Biome, all the way up to the 5th Biome.
Just keep spamming the Weapon rooms and hope you're lucky!

Updating along the way!

I made this just for fun and for whoever found it at least a bit helpful.

If there is something else you want added to this guide, just leave a comment down below.

As i might just add more and more with each future update.

@Draxaze hw do u unlock each starter weapon

[LoNk]

@Draxaze thx for the help i got the twitch axolotl today and wanted to use it

[Woozy]

@LoNk, Feed them a meal [each meal has its own stats that axolotl will have]. After that they will be fully grown, you will then be able to pick them to play.

[LoNk]

how do u raise an axolitle past second stage i cant find out how sry if i bother u btw

[Lyncus]

I think the "indicator" pic you show for mimics might not be right. The first chest I get every run has the white bar to the left.

Its also worth noting that axolittles gain max love the more times you shlurp them (ie the more times you drain them the more it takes to fill them). I dont know if they need to be full of love, or if its just enough to shlurp them, but after some time they need more "nurturing" to become full; this results in more love extracted.

[Woozy]

Hehe, bout time tho.. now to die 100 times and kill 1000 of those buggers...

[Nighty]

glad you finally found one

Updated Guide: The Mimic.
