Talk:Hal the Hermit

Hal the Carny?

When I was looking for this page, I did a search for "Hal" and came across Hal the Carny. I remember the discussion before that with the shift to HoT, NPCs might be in different maps in different timeframes. Is it possible the two Hals are actually one in the same, and that is where the circus originally came from?--Rognik (talk) 04:36, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

I'm almost 100% sure that these two Hals are two unique NPCs since, if I remember correctly, Ringmaster Ivy says that they crashed in Ember Bay over a year ago while, from the beginning of the game and throughout, you can see Hal the Carny at his stall in Divinity's Reach. Anyways, just my 2 cents on it. --Louise (talk) 04:57, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

It's possible that they're the same. But I'd look to see if there's a second circus related Ivy with that circus related Hal. Konig (talk) 15:49, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Just checked it out. There's only 2 named NPC carnies there, both vendors, and the other is called Gertie. I looked at the festival in Eastern DR, too, but no Ivy there. Not sure what to make of that.--Rognik (talk) 19:51, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

I think it's just a coincidence, and they just named the him Hal the Hermit to be catchy. - Do_odleplex 20:05, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Image

Apparently this guy has multiple models because I have an image of a less bearded Hal. Konig (talk) 15:49, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Maybe he shaves if you feed him apples to look less like a hermit? =D - Do_odleplex 16:47, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

No apples given. Hair is messier along with him having only a stubble. Konig (talk) 21:26, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Ironically... File:Circus Castaway.png is the model I saw Hal with. Konig (talk) 21:29, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Looks like he does change models, check out the German page for Hal. Are either of those what you saw? - Do_odleplex 17:19, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Nope! There was an image of that model, but Vent went an deleted it without reuploading it elsewhere it seems. Had the pants of File:Vice_Chief_Hernandez.jpg, the vest seen in this image, a stubble beard, and the hair of [1] Konig (talk) 20:06, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Time to go NPC model hunting! *puts on Elmer Fudd hunting cap* - Do_odleplex 20:17, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

I deleted it because it was uploaded in the incorrect format and was really LQ. But, in any case, I [[:File:Circus Castaway.png|restored it]] so Doodle can upload a better one, if she feels like it. —Ventriloquist 20:36, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Daily Cap?

I managed to feed him twice in one day, on the same character. I was going to park the character by the trees, but noticed I could still interact with the tree. Did they change it again?

The number of apples on the ground is your character limit. You've always been able to feed him multiple times per day on the same character. Your only limit was the number of apples that come from the trees/ground/wherever they come from.--Rain Spell (talk) 00:48, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Age

By look and hair colour, the order of this ages seems to be the following:

1. File:Hal the Hermit (alt).jpg
2. File:Hal the Hermit (alt 2).jpg
3. File:Hal the Hermit (alt 3).jpg
4. File:Hal the Hermit.jpg
5. File:Hal the Hermit (alt 4).jpg

I'm doing some data gathering to see if there's any pattern in his age changes over Tyrian days. -- kazerniel (talk) 22:46, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
