Walkthrough[edit]
Poyaqui has two modes on playing Belcher's Bluff. He will mimic your moves, when he doesn't have his buff of Spirits Vision. When he has this buff, he won't mimic your behavior. You can use this on your advantage. Bring Critique as your signature skill and use bluff do damage him initially as long as he is imitating you. Then use bluff until he gets spirits vision. As long as he has spirits vision use drink water and belch as he won't copy this. When he mimics you behavior again, use drink and bluff to damage him further and remove cool down from your skills.
Dialogue[edit]
Lion's Arch[edit]
- Does my omnomberry juice dispenser intrigue you? I'll give you a hint. It's for a game called Belcher's Bluff.
I've defeated all five Masters of Om!
- So you have! Then, are you ready, initiate? Do you have what it takes to best the Grandmaster of Om?
- Yes!
Not quite yet.
I challenge you!
- Hah! You're a tadpole. Do you know the secrets of the Masters of Om? No? Seek them out, challenge them, defeat them. Only then will you be worthy to challenge me, the Grandmaster of Om.
- Can you tell me about the other masters?
- There. I've sent you a pamphlet that describes our order and locations.
- Thanks.
- Very well. I will return, Poyaqui!
- What is Belcher's Bluff?
- Belcher's Bluff is a game of determination and deceit. Drinking this vile substance is detrimental to your health. Drink as much as you can, but be careful: whoever loses their stamina first concedes the match.
- What are we drinking?
- Raw omnomberry juice, chilled to sour perfection. The omnomberry grows only in Orr and is disgusting until cooked. Heat removes the toxins, but chilling it- oh, it makes for an entertaining game.
- Can I bluff?
- To win, you'll have to! You can fake a sip, but if your opponent catches you... well, that's another challenge entirely.
- They can punish me?
- Let loose a fearsome belch, and you punish an opponent who's not drinking as they should! Just be careful- once you belch, you'll have to drink three more times before you can belch again.
- Can I drink anything other than juice?
- Water is allowed, but only every four turns. If you can get away with it, it can put you ahead of the game. Additionally, it counts towards your drinks and your ability to belch!
- I get the gist.
- I'll be back.
