A Gremlin in Knead

Mission List: Prestige (Event) Important Stratum Themes: Monsters: (Creep Cake) Status: Rewards: 50-90 prestige (depends on rank)  Cake Slice x6-9 (depends on difficulty and rank)

A Gremlin in Knead is an event-exclusive prestige mission available during Caketastrophe.

Overview

Description:

We've been receiving reports that Groat, a local Emberlight Chef, has been acting...strange. It seems that Biscotti comissioned him to do some baking on her behalf but the responsibility may have gone to his head. He disappeared into the clockworks soon after Biscotti delivered the last crate of batter. With the Anniversary celebrations at stake once again, Biscotti needs some culinary champions to help her sort out this mix-up!

Objective:

Check on Groat the Gremlin Chef.

Notes

This mission was introduced during the third Caketastrophe in April 2014.

The plot problems in this mission are caused by the inappropriate use of Moonstone. The problems in the related Total Caketastrophe mission are caused by the inappropriate use of Dark Matter.

This mission features a unique boss: Groat is not normally an antagonist, and is only aggressive due to being possessed by Dread Velvet.

The fire and freeze grates likely are there to be reminiscent of the hazards of a real world industrial sized kitchen. In addition to these, there are several militaristic hazards strewn about, similar to those used in Gremlin warfare.

Strategy

Creep Cakes behave like the Jelly Cube monster. They are also capable of inflicting fire via the birthday candles Biscotti mentions in another mission. They move slowly but can hit hard from a decent distance. Batterbots turn into Current Cakes when their robotic bodies are defeated. They behave like the Retrode for this first phase and then like the Jelly Cube for the second, and are capable of inflicting shock in both forms. The constructs do not pose much of a problem and are easily defeated with a loadout that caters to the boss fight.

Bring ranged shadow weapons to take care of the boss.

Bring a combination of piercing, elemental, and normal defenses with optional Perks and Trinkets to aid the DPS of your weapons. Some fire and shock resistance would be smart but getting inflicted with status is easily avoidable in this mission. If you are the agile type, simply equip items that grant damage bonuses, such as Chaos.

Don't waste your time killing enemies that constantly respawn.
