Strong Bad's botched-up stunt damages the Trogdor Arcade Machine, Trogdor makes his debut, doing what he does best: burninating the countryside! What's more, other 8-bit games are leaking into the real world, throwing Free Country, USA into chaos! Only High Lord Awesome can take back the night and conquer this scorching menace, once and for all! Only question is: anybody know how to kill a dragon?

Pointer: Used to manipulate the cursor on-screen.
A Button: Used to activate pointer where it's pointing.
B Button: Used as a cancel button. Also can be used during any dialogue scene to skip it.

- Button: Accesses the inventory.

+ Button: Check your game status, which includes your handy map of Free Country USA,
your collected extra items, and your overall stats of stuff you've done.

2 Button: During the basic run-around gameplay, you can use this to bring up Photo Mode. In Photo Mode, you can take snapshots to save to your Wii Console.


Movement: Click a spot anywhere in the field and the big SB will shuffle his tape legs over there. If you double click, Strong Bad will pick up the pace a little. Also, holding down the A button will make Strong Bad try to follow your cursor as diligently as a one-legged puppy.

Interaction: Any time your cursor comes upon a "hot spot", you'll see a small text blurb describing it. Click on it and Strong Bad will walk over and talk about it, to it, or try to do something with it.

Dialogue: Click on any of the famous h*r characters to begin negotiations. Sometimes the conversation will be scripted and that'll be it. Other times, you'll be given a little dialogue window with topics to talk about. Furthermore, you will sometimes be given a little Angel SB, or a Devil SB to select. These can be used to vaguely compliment or rudely berate who you're talking to, respectively. Safe to say, it's always awesome to try both.

Items: Once you snag and bag an item, it will be in your inventory. You can access that item by clicking on the inventory button at the upper-left corner of the screen, or by pressing the - button. Click on whatever item you wish to play with, which will be attached to your cursor. Then, click on the object or person in the field you want to use it on.

A Guide for Strong Bad Episode 5: 8-Bit Is Enough

In this Guide, I will show you how to play Peasant's Quest at Homestarrunner.com

OH NO!!! Strong Bad's Computer has been Lappynapped... AGAIN!!! You may remember Strong Bad as Pretty Much the Coolest Guy or Sandwich Ever '98, or the fellow what stole your girlfriend. This is the required-by-video-game-law tutorial portion of his Super Awesome video game. It seems as though someone has stolen his Lappy Computer, and you, yes you, need to help him find out who.

Use your mouse to move the Pointer than Left-Click to move Strong Bad. Move the Pointer to the Missing Lappy to Examine the Stain then Click on the Magnifying Glass to pick it up. (Strong Bad totally stole this from his nerdy little brother Strong Sad. Man, that guy is such a whiny Dump baby. He's probably crying over losing it right now.) Whenever Strong Bad finds a useful item during an Episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, he'll pick it up & add it to the Inventory (It's the Book Icon on the Upper Toolbar). Click on the Book Icon in the upper Left corner of the screen to open up the Inventory. You'll see a Section of items appear inside it, the item of choice is your Magnifying Glass. Select on it to Equip it onto the Pointer. Then just point and click on things you want to use the magnifying glass on. In this case, you'll want to use the magnifying glass on the Stain where the Lappy used to be.

Afterwards, head to Strong Sad's Room to talk to him. (You'll Reconize him as a whiney sack of gray dump) Clicking on him means you want to talk to him. The Icons in the Talk Balloons represent Topics to discuss. You may want to talk to Strong Sad about his own Heaping Dump of Emo Self first. Sometimes when talking to people, you can choose between saying something nice or saying Something Strong Bad would say. Choose Angel Icon to say something nice, or the Devil Icon to be more of a jerk. (Either one doesn't matter in this case.) Then, Talk to him about Strong Bad's Stolen Lappy. Afterwards, use the magnifying glass on Strong Sad to return it to him.

Next, you'll need to get to Bubs, to do so, you'll need to add Bubs' Concession Stand to the Map Screen. (It's what Strong Bad uses to get from point A to place B. You can access this map at any time by clicking the map icon in the top left part of the screen. You can Rearrange Any Icons on the map screen in anyway you like.) In the case, you'll want to place Concession Stand to the Map Screen.

Once at Bubs, You'll find that there is usually a variety of ways to change people's moods. You'll figure this out as you go. Generally Strong Bad finds kissing up or breaking their stuff usually gets the desired response. In this case, select the Angel Icon when Talking to Bubs then Select the Lappy Icon to get the Lappy back and completed the Tutorial.

Now you're ready to play all 5 Episodes of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People! Now get out there and have some fun at the expense of others.

Gel-Arshie surfs across the screen on a board of some sort. He can jump into the air, and perform tricks while airborne. Catching fruit causes Gel-Arshie to glow, which slows down his rate of fall. Grabbing fruit while doing a trick scores more points; the multiplier depends on which trick is being performed. There are a total of fifteen trick moves.

At the same time, Professor Pineapple moves along the right-hand side of the screen, shooting pineapple slices at Gel-Arshie. If Gel-Arshie is glowing, being hit removes his glow. If he is not glowing, Gel-Arshie loses a life.

=Scoring=
Each piece of fruit scores a number of points equal to the current fruit count times the current trick multiplier. For example, the twelfth piece of fruit picked up, while no trick is being performed, scores twelve points. If a kickflip is being performed, it scores sixty points — that is, twelve times five. Being hit by a pineapple or landing on the ground resets the fruit count, while making any action clears the trick multiplier.

A score of 20,000 is required for maximum awesomeness. Getting too high of a score will make the game crash, but can only be done by changing the game settings through the Videlectrix Mainframe. This overly-high score will not count towards your awesomeness.

This game involved Strong Bad, armed with the Light Musket, hunting down the escaped Redcoat ghosts, scattered through the Free Country locations and shooting them. Each ghost scores 100 points. If he misses a ghost, The Cheat will pop up from behind a bush and laugh at him, in a manner very reminiscent of the dog from Duck Hunt.

=Strategy=
The ghosts will only appear in certain areas in The Field; the Cool Car is the easiest place to find them. Also, they will usually appear the first time you enter the area. So, in order to quickly get the 800 points, simply keep selecting the Cool Car from your map, arm yourself with the light musket, and then fire at the ghost when it pops up.

In the game, the player controls ULTIMATE TROGDOR!!!. The objective is to burninate as many peasants as possible. Occasionally Strong Bad will charge in the form he takes in the final boss battle. He can be repelled with fire breath, but if he's allowed to reach Trogdor, Strong Bad will stab him with the Trogsword, killing Trogdor and ending the game.

Strong Bad appears to be a great fan of the game, possibly because he's in it. When Strong Bad first plays the game, he describes it as, "All right! It's Trogdor! Bigger and badder than ever!" And even when he loses, he exclaims, "Awe-some!"
SWORDED!!

The description on the Telltale games website says, "You can get to this game by jumping into the Trogdor game in the Videlectrix Mainframe, or by using the arcade machine in the exterior area; both must be done during extended play. You'll be faced with a top-down view of Ultimate Trogdor, and peasants will begin to appear randomly on the four pedestals that are located on each side of the dragon. Burninate them by clicking on them as they appear, and you'll get points. To maximize your awesomeness in this game, you'll need to score 10,000 points or more. To score more effectively, burninate the peasants without missing (breathing fire on an empty pedestal) and you'll get a multiplier on your score which can add up to 10 times more value per burnination. As the levels progress, Ultimate Strong Bad will start to appear as your accuracy goes down, and will slay you unless you burninate him before he gets close enough to strike you with the Trogsword."

We pick up right at the very end of the previous episode, Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective. Strong Bad, jumping away from the protesters who aren't very happy about his editing choices, accidentally hits the Trogdor arcade machine... which suddenly grows legs, wings and a beefy arm! That can't be good! Well, that's what everyone who's not Strong Bad thinks; he thinks it's a riot!

Go upstairs. You can find the Metal Detector in Strong Bad's room.

And even though you gave it back to him in Homestar Ruiner, Homestar's cell phone is in the pile formerly known as Strong Bad's bed.

The Cheat is here too. He wants to play his Gel-Arshie-based licensed game. Strong Bad is quick to hypocritically remind him that licensed games suck.

Check Strong Sad's bookshelf for the Carpal Tunnel Connie card.

Talk to Strong Sad. He'll say that he tricked the Trogdor arcade outside. Ask him about it and he'll mention calling Videlectrix's support line for advice. He'll also give you the key to the cabinet.

Oh, but the cell phone won't work indoors due to lousy reception or broken antennae or something, so you can't place that call just yet.

Walk outside and the Trogdor arcade cabinet will run away! You'll chase it to the field.

Strong Bad marks the arcade cabinet's location on his map. You can still get all the usual Field locations by running around, though.

Examine the Trogdor Game and it'll punch Strong Bad out. Strong Bad will recall Strong Sad remarking that only an idiot would take on a living Trogdor arcade cabinet alone! On cue, Homestar shows up in Strong Badia.

Talk to Homestar and he'll mention that he's missing his lucky quarter. He won't help deal with the arcade cabinet without it. Perhaps you have something that can detect metal objects conveniently on your person?

Use the metal detector and walk up to Homestar. You'll find something! Homestar will move away so you can find it better... and then the signal dies. Turns out Homestar swallowed it. However, he denies this, and he takes the metal detector from you to show you how to use it properly! He wanders up to the arcade cabinet, predictably gets punched, and the quarter flies out of his guts and into Strong Bad's glove. And the metal detector breaks.

Give Homestar the quarter and he'll agree to help you.

Give Videlectrix a call on Homestar's cell. When they try to pretend to be an automated service, select "4". They'll drop a box with a new logic board next to Bubs' Concession Stand.

Collect the logic board.

Use the key on the arcade cabinet to open it, and the logic board in order to get it working again.

Videlectrix will leave a massage message while you're in the middle of this. They'll say not to install the circuit board in the presence of something exposed to radiation. Oops, Homestar was irradiated when the metal detector was used on him... guess what happens next.

The whole world ripples into a portal, and Strong Bad wakes up near the Trogdor cabinet. Hmm... Looks like everything is back to normal again, aside from the fact that the metal detector mysteriously vanished. Strong Bad better trick someone into carrying the machine back in the basement for him, and— Wait. What's that roaring noise coming from Strong Badia?

Go to Strong Badia to see the situation.

Gasp! Trogdor has broke free from the arcade cabinet and has left Strong Badia in flames! To further complicate things, the 8-bit world is seeping into Free Country USA! And worst of all, Homestar keeps popping up in little boxes to give you useless advice and spam! Betrayed and grief-stricken at the burninination of his own countryside, Strong Bad must undertake the once-unthinkable task of destroying his own majestic creation. The only way to stop all this is to... KILL... TROGDOOOOOOR!!!* But since he has no idea how to do so, Pop-Up Homestar recommends getting into the game (literally) to find a solution.
*NOTE: Does anyone know how to kill a dragon?!

Enter the door in the arcade cabinet.

Checkpoint: The only inventory item you keep at this point is the key. If you're wondering why you'd still need the key... well, wait for it. No, you don't need the Metal Detector any more, so don't worry about it. You should have one "Good Graphicketeer" card, though.

Welcome to the Videlectrix Mainframe, where you can access various Videlectrix games here anytime you want. Homestar, in accordance to Strong Bad's dragon-slaying quest, recommends Peasant's Quest.


Try to enter Peasant's Quest. A copy protection voice will tell you that you can't enter without telling it Paul Revere's favorite ice cream flavor, using a giant wheel to help you, as suggested in the manual, and with the help of red cellophane glasses. You have neither the manual nor the glasses, and you're not gonna get it by guessing, so no entry. Homestar says that you can use Strong Bad's "Spirits of '76" game for advice, as Paul Revere appears in it.

You won't be able to enter Trogdor, because Trogdor's not there. Nor will you be able to enter Stinkoman, as it's region-locked.

Strong Bad will outright refuse to enter Space Circus Catastrophe, but doing so will add the Dancing Bear to your party. You don't need him, but the more, the merrier!

You CAN enter Gel-Arshie's game and Halfathlon, but for now, let's go to the House of Strong and see what's going on.

For the Copy Protection answers for Peasant's Quest, please refer to my Walkthrough of Peasant's Quest for more infomation.

Not even the house was left unscarred by the catastrophe; now it is swarming with redcoat ghosts!

Enter and Strong Bad will be kicked out. He needs the light gun that's supposed to be used with this game in order to go on.

Well, at least you can grab the Lady Crate Ape game box sitting outside.
Let's try the Field now.

Check the Cool Car and you'll find the Snake Boxer snakes. You'll carry them around.

Find the Algebros on the Brick Wall, and they'll agree to join you to slay Trogdor. Like the bear, you don't need them, but who are you to complain?

Walk near the Whale and Limozeen's tour bus will crash near you. They need professional help to get moving; remember that for later.

What you're really looking for, though, is Bubs' Concession Stand. Marzipan has confused herself with Donkey Kong/Lady Crate Ape, has abducted Bubs, and is throwing crates everywhere. Examine her and she'll throw a crate at an unusual bush sitting nearby. This opens up a new area!

Follow the path Marzikong just opened to see what's behind it.

Why, it's a giant pile of crates!

The Poopsmith is here, but he thinks he's Mista Fixit from the game of the same name. You can ask him for help, but he'll simply hold up a strange-looking sign with little black circles on it. He also has an empty bucket labeled "Rivets" next to him.

Walk toward the left side of the screen and you'll almost trip over Boxer Joe, the star of Snake Boxer! Talk to him after this and he'll join you.

There's also a conspicuous crate here. Strong Bad will be unable to open it on his own, but with repeated attempts, Homestar will pop up to point out that, if you were a video game character, you could just PUNCH it open! And you have a boxer on your team, but punching crates isn't his style. If only there was some way to convince him...

Use the snakes on the crate, and then Boxer Joe. He'll punch the crate while trying to hit the snakes, revealing the light gun! Take it.

By the way, you can use the same Snake-and-Boxer-Joe technique to open other crates, like the one near the Concession Stand. Do this to get the Pixel Hat.

And go back to the crate where you found the Light Gun to break it again and find the Halfathlon game box.

Back to the House of Strong.

Checkpoint: You'll have obtained your first three party members. Though counted on the status screen, they also appear in your inventory, so make sure you have the Dancing Bear, Boxer Joe, and the Algebros. The Snakes don't count as party members, but you should still have them too, along with the Light Gun. You'll also have two game boxes and one costume item.

Use the Light Gun to arm yourself and enter.

The American ghosts will tell you to bring them the items they lost. Each one will ask for the item in riddle form (which they get more screen time this way & triple scale). Meanwhile, use your light gun to keep the redcoat ghosts at bay. Hover near them to push them back, or fire a shot by right-clicking (on a computer), pressing "B" (on the Wii), or pressing "Circle" (on the PS3) to light up the area significantly and scare them away, but you won't be able to move until Strong Bad finishes "reloading" the musket. You'll be kicked out if you get caught!

The fridge is still clickable, but when Strong Bad goes to examine it, the redcoat ghosts catch up with him! Fortunately, your progress is not lost when getting thrown out, and the fridge is close enough to the front door that this is only a minor inconvenience.

There's a feather in Strong Bad's room, a... thing in Strong Sad's room, and a lantern in Strong Mad's room. Collect them all!

The one in Strong Mad's room wants a quill (the feather.)

The one by the basement door wants a teabag. That's the thing from Strong Sad's room.

Downstairs, you'll find a key and a ghost who wants the lantern. Give it to him and he'll reveal that he's Paul Revere, but he disappears before you can ask his favorite ice cream flavor. Drat!

The ghost in the computer room wants the key. Give it to him and the house will light up and the redcoats will be gone! Make sure you give him the 8-bit key, and not the normal key.

While here, you can try the Gel-Arshie Fruitboarder game The Cheat wanted to play earlier. Maximum awesomeness at 20,000 points, but it will take a long time to get this score unless you use high-level stunts. One is the secret French Press move (left, down, down, down, jump), but even if you perform the move, you have to collect fruit while it's active in order for it to matter! You can also try the 360 flapjack to junk in the trunk stunt (right, left, up, down, jump) which is worth more, but is a little harder to pull off.

Oh, and from here on out, you might hear spooky sounds when traversing certain areas. One such area will be the Strongs' bathroom. After you hear the sound, pull up the Snappy and shoot a picture. A ghost will be in the shot... and so will a box containing Stinkoman's boots! Both are worth Awesomeness separately.

The Basement has a hidden ghost too. He'll point out the location of the Swampslash figurine.
Maybe you should have another look at that wheel. Head to the Videlectrix Mainframe.

Checkpoint: You should have freed six ghosts in that ordeal and the following events. You'll also have a second costume item and a single Topplegangers figurine.

If you examine the wheel, you'll find that all the Revolutionists' ghosts have the items they were looking for, making it easy to match them with their items... but it's not enough, because you still can't read the red-print-obscured solutions that they're hiding.

Hmm... Gel-Arshie is red and transparent. Let's check out his game.

Well, actually, you're backstage, as the game is running on your FunMachine but no one's playing it. Whatever, Gel-Arshie is still here.

Talk to him, and he'll say that he won't leave until someone reaches the "Kill Screen" in his game. Homestar will ask what this is, and Strong Bad will explain that, if you get too high of a score in some games, the game crashes or glitches, resulting in the kill screen. But the game's too hard and the necessary score is too high, so you'll have to simplify it somehow.

Professor Pineapple's gun is loading up pineapples, which Gel-Arshie must avoid in-game. Next to it are the red power-ups that Gel-Arshie needs to collect... and a convenient lever. Pull the lever and the gun will start loading up the Fruit Supply! That should help!

Furthermore, make the game even easier by setting it to "hard" mode with the slider near Professor Pineapple's sprite. This will make him fire a ludicrous number of "pineapple slices"... only not, since you already switched it over to shooting the red fruit instead.

Head back home to test your modified game.

Play the FunMachine. The game is extremely easy now, and you'll likely reach the kill screen really quickly. Gel-Arshie will then pop out of the television screen and agree to join you as a reward for your (not-so-)hard work! Maybe now we can get into Peasant's Quest! (And, no, quitting early in super-easy mode doesn't count toward your awesomeness score. It can't be THAT easy.)

Gel-Arshie will respond to certain red objects. Strong Bad's mailbox is red! Collect the Junk in the Trunk card he reveals after using him on the mailbox. This reveals the secret (and very high-scoring) Junk-in-the-Trunk move in Gel-Arshie's game, in case you missed it earlier in the walkthrough.

Head back to the Videlectrix Mainframe.

Use Gel-Arshie on the wheel. You can now read the answers provided, but you still need the right one.

Move the sliders so that Trogdor is under the arrow on the outer wheel, and the cottage is under it on the inner wheel. Check the answer and receive a Trogdor shirt!

Now change it so that the outer wheel has Paul Revere (the ghost with the lantern), and the inner wheel has the lantern. Check the answer provided; it SHOULD be "None (lactose intolerant)". Any other answer means the wheel has been spun incorrectly.

Examine the Peasant's Quest portal again and tell the copy protection voice the correct answer. You'll get to enter Peasantry!

Checkpoint: Gel-Arshie makes a fourth party member, and you should also have a second card and a third costume item.

Welcome to Peasantry. You'll end up in the forest. The King of Town, possessed by some kind of scorpion monster, is roaming around, and Rather Dashing is standing under a tree.

Anything is better than dealing with a Scorpion Monster of Town (or "Munchox"), so talk to Rather Dashing. He'll say that he's quit the dragon-hunting business and is now rescuing princesses for a living... or would, if there were any princesses around that needed rescuing.

If you ask about the TrogSword, he'll tell you that it found its way to a world full of platforms and jumping, and that a man who looked a little like you but with blue hair was interested in it too. Stinkoman?! You saw his game in the hub, but it was region locked, so you're going to have to figure out some way around that.

There are some strange-looking round things next to the lake. Pick them up, as you'll need them later.

There's also a box with Pixel Boots in it near the lake.
And if you can avoid the King of Town and get to the other side of his cave, you'll hear another spooky sound. Snap the camera and the ghost will allow you to collect the Spirits of '76 game box.

Finally, be sure to snag that Quest Cube thingy, and try giving it to the King of Town before you go for a Dryghost figurine.

There's a path leading to the Peasantry Inn nearby. Follow it.

Burninated peasants are running around in the background, the inn has a sign saying that it also provides carriage repair, and Strong Sad is nearby in a girly pink hat. Oh, and no, you can't get ye flask, so don't put too much effort into trying.

Talk to the innkeeper and he'll explain that he's moved into carriage repair because the inn wasn't making enough money. Tell him about Limozeen's bus and he'll agree to go with you.

Check the cardboard box for an Anti-Social Angus card.
Have Boxer Joe smash the crate for a med kit.

If you talk to Strong Sad, he'll insist he's a wizard (though he looks like a princess to Strong Bad), and he'll send you on a quest to fetch the orange pixel from the cave guarded by the Scorpion King (of Town). You have to get him to offer the quest, but you don't have to actually do it. In fact, it won't even do you any good; his "reward" will be another quest for the same orange pixel, just called something different.

Head back to The Field to put the innkeeper to good use.

Checkpoint: You may or may not have that Quest Item Thingy, depending on whether or not you gave it to Strong Sad and whether or not you collected another one, but so long as you got your second Toppleganger, it won't matter either way. What will matter are the med kit and those strange round things, marked as "???" in your inventory. In addition, you'll have freed a seventh ghost, received a third game box and the third card, collected a fourth costume item, and recruited your fifth party member (the Innkeeper).

Use the Innkeeper on Limozeen's tour bus. He'll try to repair it, but won't get far before Trogdor burninates him. Fortunately, he'll also burninate the bush that the tour bus is stuck in, and the bus is burnination-resistant. Now free, they'll agree to help you out.

Use Limozeen on Marzipan. They'll beam her away, and Bubs will be free! He'll tinker with your arcade machine; the world's still not working right, but you can now play region-locked games like Stinkoman 20X6.

While you're here, head over to the Crates and drop your round pebbly things into the Poopsmith's/Mista Fixit's "Rivets" bucket. He'll join you now.

Back at the Cool Car, use Mista Fixit on the car to, uh, fix it. It still won't run, but the Mista Fixit game box will be yours!

And use Gel-Arshie on the Brick Wall to get a Gel-Arshie Fruitboarder box.
Use him on Bubs' Concession Stand, too, for Stinkoman's Gloves.

Near the Snap Shak, you'll hear another spooky sound. Snap another picture and the ghost will
give you the card with the French Press code needed to make Gel-Arshie's Fruitboard game easier; it's the same one listed earlier in the walkthrough.

Also, while strolling around The Field, you will occasionally see redcoat ghosts. Blast them with the Light Gun. Each time you do, it's worth 100 points toward a "game" called "Redcoat Ghost Patrol". You'll need 800 points (8 ghosts) to max out awesomeness.

Head to the Videlectrix Mainframe to enter a new game world.

Checkpoint: You'll have seven party members marked, but Mista Fixit will be the only one that stuck around. Not only did Limozeen not stay, but you've lost the Innkeeper, too. He'll now be remembered solely as your first point under "Peasants Burninated". You've also lost the "???". You should have all four cards and all five game boxes by this point, and all eight ghosts will be free. You'll also have five costume items.

You're only here so you can enter the Stinkoman game, so do so.

There's the TrogSword! But you're in as one of Stinkoman's extra lives... you don't get to play unless Stinkoman loses. And he refuses to give you the sword himself, so you're just going to have to make sure he dies!

Talk to Stinkoman (the one playing, not one of the extra lives). Talk to him about the Chorch, and he'll just mock his foes for being slow and predictable.

Talk to the Browntant and choose to talk about Stinkoman. You'll say that Stinkoman has been trash-talking them, and Browntant wants to know exactly what's been said. Choose the turtle option to say that Stinkoman says he's too slow, and the Browntant, infuriated, will pick up the pace.

Do the same with the Chorch, only this time, select the box made of arrows to tell him that he's predictable. He'll change up his tactics.

With both foes fighting harder, Stinkoman doesn't have a chance. They'll beat him and head off to celebrate. And you're the next life, so you get to explore an enemy-free area! Well, an enemy-free broken area; you're going to have to put more work into getting to that sword.

Have Mista Fixit fix all of the ladders and the broken platform. The one on the far left is not mandatory, but it allows you to collect Stinkoman's Hair.

With the ladders and platform fixed, now you can reach the sword!
You can head back to the Peasantry Inn if you like, but...

Strong Sad still isn't letting you through, and he's still sending you after useless quest items.
To solve this, you'll have to check out the one game we haven't visited yet. To the mainframe!

Enter the Halfathlon game.

Looks remarkably like Coach Z's track, huh? Only it's been altered significantly for the Halfathlon. Coach Z is being attacked by scorpions, and Strong Mad thinks he's a Russian shot put star - "Putchnya Shotski", to be exact.

Use Gel-Arshie on the swim... er, lava pool to get a Subtlefuge figurine.
Use the med kit on Coach Z and he'll be restored long enough to toss away the scorpion food he was holding. The scorpions will jump after it, but end up stranded in the middle of the track.

Checkpoint:
Oops, I mean check the Checkpoint. A vine will appear over the swimming pool of lava.

Grab the vine and you'll swing across to where the scorpions are. They're ignoring you, however.

Beyond this area, you'll see some penguins on an icy field. Jump on the first penguin and you'll leapfrog across to the far end.

If you pick up the scorpion food and try to get back across, the scorpions will kill you. The checkpoint will revive you, but you will only have the items you had the last time you hit the checkpoint. So leave the scorpion food alone for now.

Do grab the trophy, though; that won't get the scorpions' attention.

Make your way back across and give the trophy to Strong Mad. He'll be happy with his accomplishment and join you.

Hey, that Checkpoint looks kind of like a giant shot put, doesn't it? Use Strong Mad on it and he'll throw it across the track.

Make your way back across. Grab the scorpion food and hit the checkpoint. It will remember that you're carrying scorpion food now, and that's exactly what you need.

Have Strong Mad throw the checkpoint back across.

As you make your way back, the scorpions will kill you, but you'll revive at the checkpoint on the far end with the food still in hand.

Hey, this scorpion food is just a big brown pixel. Kind of like those orange pixels Strong Sad is making you chase. And there's a scorpion monster terrorizing Peasantry... why don't you go back and have a word with Strong Sad?

Checkpoint: (For real this time.) Trogsword get! In addition, you'll also have the scorpion food and eight party members marked (with the addition of Putchnya Shotski). You'll also have six costume items and three Toppleganger figurines.

Head to the Peasantry Inn.

Give Strong Sad the scorpion food, convincing him it's a quest item. He'll take the bait (literally) and The Scorpionified King of Town will show up and start harassing him!

Go to the forest and tell Rather Dashing about this turn of events. He'll somewhat reluctantly join with you.

Back in the Inn area, use Rather Dashing on Strong Sad to rescue "her". Strong Sad will want to go questing with Rather Dashing and will leave the path unguarded.

As you try to enter the path, a Peasant will run by, chased by Trogdor. When the other peasants notice your sword, they'll decide to help you on your quest to vanquish Trogdor! You know what that means, right? Meat shields! Limozeen will also show up and rejoin.

Checkpoint: No more scorpion food, but did you really want it that badly? The addition of the peasants (who you should still have) and Rather Dashing (who you should not) will make a full ten party members. And, as mentioned, Limozeen will rejoin you as well, but they don't count twice.

This is where all this madness leads to: the heart of it all. It looks kinda like the King of Town's castle. Homestar will mess with your camera controls for an unknown reason, temporarily turning the game into a first-person, Wolfenstein-like, game. You can punch, swing the Trog-Sword, or shoot things with the Light Gun, in addition to using items from your inventory on any obstacles that get in your way. Using the right member from your party will allow you to reach Trogdor more quickly.

Use the Dancing Bear on the Space Clown.
Use the Algebros on the Math Equation.
Use the Limozeen Bus on Nebulon.

You may run into the King of Town, except with sunglasses and machine gun arms. Aim the light musket at him and blast away! If you run out of ammo for it, step back to the beginning of that room and look for a black thing on the floor, it will give you more ammo.

When you get to the end, you'll have Trogdor cornered.
Use your Trog-Sword on him and he'll die! Almost too easy...

And, indeed, it is too easy, as when you attempt to move on and rescue Homestar (so he'll stop appearing all the time), Trogdor will come back bigger and badder than before! But Strong Bad will change forms too, just to even the odds... looks like his concept art wasn't just a throwaway gag after all. Who knew?!

Unfortunately, Ultimate Trogdor won't be hurt by the Trog-Sword anymore. You're going to have to find another way to deal with him permanently.

You can use a peasant on him to get him burninated for Awesomeness points, but it won't do much to deter Ultimate Troggie.

If you talk to Homestar, he'll say that there is a Bloodstone you can use to reveal Ultimate Trogdor's weak spots! Cool, cool... only you don't have said Bloodstone. But maybe something else colored like blood will do the trick...

Use Gel-arshie on Ultimate Trogdor and red spots will appear all over his body.

The one on Ultimate Trogdor's stomach is an easy target. Just hit it. Unfortunately, you won't be able to hit the others unless he turns.

Put peasants on the four pedestals. Not only do you get awesomeness for burninated peasants (one per pedestal), but each one will distract Ultimate Trogdor, causing him to turn and exposing a weak point. Hit them all and Trogdor will be defeated once and for all!

But with that beefy-arm dragon floored for good, you and Homestar are now trapped, and the place is collapsing. There is a convenient door here, but it's locked.

But remember that key you picked up at the very beginning of the game that you used on the arcade cabinet? Turns out it's good for this door too. Open it to end the game once and for all!

Strong Bad will awaken beside the arcade cabinet. He'll declare the whole thing a dream... but Trogdor's still there. Run!

Checkpoint: You'll have burninated five more peasants for a total of six (maybe more, but five are all that count during the Trogdor ordeal.) You will have lost any party members you used during the trek through the dungeon, but they still count toward your Awesomeness score. The only things that should be missing from said Awesomeness at this point will be one more peasant to burninate, one more Toppleganger figurine to collect... and one more mini-game to play.

Use a Peasant on the "mysterious bush" to the left of Strong Badia for a Fudgeclank figurine and your final burninated peasant.

Also, you can play a new Trogdor game that involves burninating peasants, either by selecting the Trogdor game from the mainframe or by playing the arcade game in The Field. Get at least 10,000 points for your Awesomeness level.

Visiting Peasantry allows you to play in "Retro mode", where you control Rather Dashing.
