Yellow Creature in Kelp Forest drops Hot Borscht

[Kjartan]

Hey, hope I'm not posting something old... I found this little yellow creature in the Kelp Forest. It's in the area with the transport turtle, and he hides mostly in the "labyrinth" area. That guy is very fast, once you spot him he will speed off the screen, so you gotta be fast killing him!! But it pays off, I caught him a couple of times, he dropped of Arcane Poultices, Veggie Cakes and once also Hot Borschts! So rather rare and and valuable items... I often spotted him near by the transport turtle where he speeds off to the west ending up in the northern exit of this area. Once he is killed he can be respawned by exiting and reentering the area...

Would be cool to know if he drops any other items than the ones I got. I still need to find a place to harvest special bulbs and red bulbs... Anyone know?

EDIT: Topic Title edited from Arcane Poultice to Hot Borscht, because they're scarcer

sometimes I see something around there... I always thought perhaps it was a mystery (that you couldn't do anything about), that would manifest around those blue glowing areas in the background along the wall towards that blocked-off area with the simon-says game. there are a few of those spots.
huh... I've never seen that for more than a split second. Good to know.

Wow, very good! Never saw him too!

The Yellow sea dragons in Kelp forset drop special bulbs once in a while. But Red bulbs are the real special, I cannot find them anywhere. I found only 5 or so trought the game and used up all to make Borscht. Any ideas?

Wrong topic. Check the Ixi's Treasure Hunt or the Wiki (http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Aquaria) for some places where red bulbs are, but if you have already five, I don't think there are much more...

Does he drop cold borscht?  That is the only one i'm missing, as I used up all my red bulbs...

[RL_Nice]

What do you mean by the "labyrinth" area?

[Kjartan]

Only got the items I mentioned in the first post... Never got a Cold Borscht unfortunately.

Here's a map of the area where I usually find him:


He may flee into the western area with the two spiders, too though. He got caught in a spider web once, heh!

I went to the area you described and I caught it a few times. It appears that if I exit via the bulb in the area, the thing will only respawn every other time. So far it's only given me one veggie cake and three Hot Borschts.

By the way, if this thing will give you Arcane Poultices, then you don't really need a hunting ground for Special Bulbs.

Hahaha....why the heck do you need to make more arcane poultrices?  You get at least 5 of them just through normal gameplay!  You get 4 in the body alone.  Plus how often do you need them?  There's other options that are far less costly.  Only time I ever used them was against the final boss.

Oh I'm just trying to stock up on as much of everything as possible before facing the Creator. I would be particularly happy if I got full supplies of Legendary Cakes and Loaves of Life.

[Kjartan]

I just recognized that the three-eyed monsters also drop Arcane Poultices quite often, so I guess the special thing about them are the Hot Borschts

Still this area is a quite good harvesting place for Arcanes

Problem is, both FAQ tells me that I can pull up Red Bulbs in Kelp. I harvested the leaves like three times including the Sprite Cave but no luck. I really need those to finish my recipe book, and besidess my favourite foods are made of red bulb.

[Xiagan]

Yeah, I never found red bulbs in plants too. I still think they aren't dropping it. I found only 5-6 red bulbs in the whole game, so if you had 5-6 already, chances aren't good to find more...

[Kjartan]

Never got a Red Bulb from plant leaves either. Can't think of any place where they might be, too.

Maybe there are other hidden creatures like this one?
