Finance at Frank’s

The side quests of Vae Victis below follow the official walkthrough, with details from the guides and the Steam discussions. This first one can be done in the first region, a Steam player notes, and needs nothing.

  1. Find the locked door next to the Juggernog in Town.
  2. Listen to how many times someone knocks on it, then knife the door the same number of times.
  3. Do it three times. A bomb drops on the ground after the third.
  4. Take the bomb to the door of the bank vault, where a glowing outline shows, and blow it open.

The reward: Keys/Aether Wrenches to buy for 5,000 points each, and Frank the Zombie, who buys any weapon for points.

Alphabet Adrift

  1. On the second wave or later, take the stick of pink chalk on a crate behind the church. It has no prompt: hold the interact key on it.
  2. Write on the sign in front of the church. An unfinished poem appears, and letters fly away.
  3. The letters float in the air around the lighthouse, with letters that are not needed. Use the jump pads, the ziplines and the parachute to collect E, D, D, Y, in that order. A wrong letter means trying again.
  4. Go back to the sign for the reward: a pile of keys. Seven for Watchful Wolf; anywhere from 9 to 12 for a Steam player.

Dauber’s Diatribe

  1. On the second wave or later, find the Dauber orb behind the weapons shop of Town, on top of a trailer. Interact with it to get a jar for Prismatic Fluid.
  2. Outside Town, on the way to the diner, fill the jar at a pool of liquid.
  3. Carry it back to the orb without sprinting or jumping, or it spills. The orb paints part of a mural.
  4. Do it twice more. When the mural is done, the orb leaves, and in its place waits the reward: Fling Grenades that respawn forever.

Funiculi Funicula

These steps come from the official walkthrough alone.

  1. Behind the claw-shaped rocks near the jump pad between the Bus Depot and the church, pick up a box of pizza. A Steam player found it in an opening with a skeleton and a bottle.
  2. Take it to the diner of TranZit and place it on the right side of the counter.
  3. Every player is teleported to the diner and an orb surrounds it. Stay inside or take damage, and survive while the music plays.
  4. When the music ends, a spider drop appears in the doorway of the diner. Grab it: the next time a player is close to death, “a familiar stranger will step in and save the day”.

The wonder weapon quests

Four side quests give the wonder weapons: Archon’s Awakening (the spear), Jetgun Joyride, the Scavenger Hunt and Sliquifier’s Synthesis.

The wonder weapon quests step by step

Free perks and world events

Locked areas

Three key doors hide a strong enemy each: an Avogadro at the Bus Depot, a Mangler in the bunker of Nuketown and a Panzer in a warehouse near Town. Each gives a free perk to every player.

Sarah Michelle Gellar

Her corpse appears on a rock at random. Steam players found her near the Die Rise dragon, at a small camp behind the Bus Depot, on the roof of the bank and near Nuketown. She can be missing from a game.

Red portals

Fly through a chain of red portals to raise the Pack-a-Punch level of the weapon in hand.

Point Orb

Shoot the talking orb three times for points and loot.

The free perks

Music and smaller secrets

The jukebox

A Steam player found it in a building across from the bowling alley of Town, next to two pinball machines; another places it in the bar. A prompt reads “HIT THE TUNES!”: knife it to play the music Easter egg.

The Dubstep Monkey

Throw a Monkey Bomb into each of the three green lamps of Town, then feed the golden monkey souls near the gas station of Nuketown.

Jigsaw

A Steam player found Jigsaw, the puppet of the Saw films, in a house of Nuketown, and mashed the interact key on a toilet: a pop-up of 20,000 points showed when a timer ended, though the points did not seem to change. The guide of Flapix has a chapter on it.

Unsolved

Steam players still asked in 2024 about a phone in the armory of Town, a giant robot head that lights up after the second wave, and a Double Tap machine on a cliff of the Bus Depot. No source explains them.
