Transcendent Olfaction

Transcendent Olfaction Type: Combat MP Cost: 0 You're really, really good at smelling things. So good, in fact, that once you've taken a good long whiff of a monster, you'll be able to track other monsters that smell the same as though you were some sort of... I dunno, some sort of monster tracker of some sort.

Notes

• Can be cast up to 3 times per day. The On the Trail effect remains over rollover, but is lost upon ascension.
• Cannot be cast on a monster that you are currently tracking.
• Using this skill against monsters in Secret Tropical Island Volcano Lair results in:

You take a deep breath, and start coughing. Your sensitive nasal passages are only picking up sulphur from the nearby volcano.

• Using this skill in any of the Shadow Rifts results in:

The smells here are too weird to remember.

• Using this skill in the Dreadsylvanian Woods results in:

The weird foreign pollen in the air here screws up your sense of smell.

• Using this skill in the Dreadsylvanian Village results in:

The smells in this village are too exotic and strange for you to make any sense of them.

• Using this skill in the Dreadsylvanian Castle results in:

The castle is so stuffy from years of disuse that you can't really smell anything.

• Using this skill in the The Daily Dungeon (except against an Apathetic lizardman) results in:

The dank air down here messes with your sense of smell.

• Using this skill in Gingerbread City results in:

It's no use. Everything here just smells like gingerbread.

• Using this skill on any of the planets Through the Spacegate results in:

Everything on this planet smells too weird.

• Using this skill in any of the Crimbo Train car locations during Crimbo (2022) results in:

These quarters are too tight for that.

• Using this skill against another monster which cannot be tracked results in this message:

The smell of this opponent is too complex for even your superhuman nose to process.

• If you use this skill on the Enormous Greater-Than Sign denizens, its effect will not carry over to their Dungeons of Doom counterparts after you unlock it. That is, sniffing a lowercase B won't make acid blob encounters any more frequent, and so on.

History

• Prior to Jan 1, 2022, Transcendent Olfaction cost 40 MP to cast, gave only 40 adventures of On the Trail and had no daily usage limit.
• Additionally, you were unable to use this skill with the On the Trail effect active; attempting to do so resulted in the following message:

Your nose is still ringing from the last thing you smelled.

• For a few days prior to the above update (in preparation for the removal of a duration), you were unable to use Transcendent Olfaction on the same monster twice in a row.
