A Sizeable Problem

What to prepare

Prepare 3 Orichor, unless you are a Handyman around level 20: you will then craft the insulation panel yourself. The rest is done in fights against the Kabombz of the Osavane.

• 3 × Orichorfor the insulation panel, without the Handyman profession

Quest Resources, obtained along the way

• 1 × Dimensional Reducergiven by Corporal Gobastol
• 1 × Field Telekameterfor the nest surveys
• 1 × Galvanising SaltHandyman only, crate at [0,31]
• 1 × Insulating OreHandyman only, crate at [0,18]
• 1 × Untreated MetalHandyman only, crate at [0,18]
• 1 × Hydrogoblic AcidHandyman only, crate at [1,17]

The 13 quest steps

1. 1Listen to Gizmond Quelyn's Krosmoglob

   Dialogue[0,18] · Gizmond Quelyn's Krosmoglob

   At the outpost, Corporal Gobastol is discussing an experiment with Gizmond Quelyn's Krosmoglob. Listen to the Krosmoglob, which suggests ideas to the Goblins before noticing that you are listening.

2. 2Get a dimensional reducer

   Items[0,18] · Corporal Gobastol

   Ask Corporal Gobastol about his miniature size: he owes it to Gizmond Quelyn's pocket dimensional reducer. Ask him for one for the mission given by Osamodas: he gives you one of his last ones.

3. 3Test the reducer

   [0,18]

   Double-click the Dimensional Reducer in front of Gobastol. Instead of shrinking, you turn into a Crooket. Report the problem to Corporal Gobastol: he examines the device and asks you to return to your normal appearance.

4. 4Lose the Crooket appearance

   Do any fight, in the dimension or elsewhere, for example against Piwis. A consumable that transforms you also removes the Crooket appearance.

5. 5Go back to Gobastol

   Dialogue[0,18] · Corporal Gobastol

   A Vilinsekt antenna stuck in the filter caused the transformation. Gobastol has figured out how to make the reducer automatic: he needs to analyze the size of the Kabombz and the topography of their nests, which can be spotted by their thermoprobes. He entrusts you with the Field Telekameter and promises the first prototype.

   • Field Telekameterreceived

6. 6Survey the three nests

   Visit the nests in this exact order: the survey is automatic, you just need to enter the map. This objective and the next one can be done in whichever order you like.

   • [8,15] survey of the first nest
   • [5,10] survey of the second nest
   • [11,5] survey of the third nest

7. 7Capture one Kabombz of each type

   Capture

   Fight a Bzzulky, a Bzzoctor, a Kamikabz and a Quadrabz in the Osavane. No soul stone needed: the alteration that counts as a capture falls off automatically. Take them from the Osavane groups, or from the lone monsters that start a fight, which can be done as a group.

   • [7,15] Lone Bzzulky
   • [8,14] Lone Bzzoctor
   • [8,13] Lone Kamikabz
   • [7,13] Lone Quadrabz

   The alterations can only be obtained in the Osavane: entering the Bzzkkbz Zowzrbz zone with an alteration makes you lose it. You have 1 hour to bring them back to the corporal, in one or several trips.

8. 8Bring back the captures

   Items[0,18] · Corporal Gobastol

   Give Corporal Gobastol the captures, which he transfers into a shiny box, then the measuring device. During his experiments, his microwave compiler overheats: his size is halved again.

   • 1 × Field Telekameterto hand over

9. 9Examine the compiler

   [0,18]

   Talk to Corporal Gobastol again, then examine the microwave compiler, to the left of the goblin: a part of the device is cracked.

10. 10Get the insulation panel

    Items[0,18] · Gizmond Quelyn's Krosmoglob

    Ask Gizmond Quelyn's Krosmoglob for help repairing the compiler: the insulation panel needs replacing. Without the Handyman profession around level 20, choose “Provide three blocks of orichor”: you lose 3 Orichor and receive the panel. With that profession, it does not offer Orichor: choose “Say you would rather go yourself”.

    • Insulation Panelreceived

11. 11Craft the panel (Handyman)

    Crafting

    Only if you are a Handyman: pick up the resources from 4 crates of metal trinkets at the outpost, then use the anvil in the center of Gobastol's map, at [0,18], to craft the insulation panel.

    • [0,31] 1 crate: 1 Galvanising Salt
    • [0,18] 2 crates: 1 Insulating Ore and 1 Untreated Metal
    • [1,17] 1 crate: 1 Hydrogoblic Acid

    • 1 × Galvanising Saltto hand over
    • 1 × Untreated Metalto hand over
    • 1 × Hydrogoblic Acidto hand over
    • 1 × Insulating Oreto hand over
    • Insulation Panelreceived

12. 12Repair the compiler

    [0,18]

    With the insulation panel, use the microwave compiler to repair it.

    Make sure to choose “use”: if only “examine” appears, leave the map and come back.

13. 13Receive the automatic reducer

    Dialogue[0,18] · Corporal Gobastol

    Talk to Corporal Gobastol again, convinced that you were the one who had grown. After a few checks, he presents you with the first automatic dimensional reducer. The quest ends.

The Automatic Dimensional Reducer replaces the Rikiki Wand: it gives access to all Rikiki zones without changing size or doing anything. Activated by hand, it costs 1 Orichor and changes your size for 60 minutes. As you continue the conversation, Gobastol offers Flight of the Bumblebees, if you have completed Trouble in Paradise. The quest is part of the achievement Hzkzbz andbz Krzzzzrzbz, which groups four quests.

Where does the A Sizeable Problem quest start?

With Corporal Gobastol, at the Osavora outpost at [0,18]. You only need to be level 150.

How do you lose the Crooket appearance?

By doing any fight, in Osavora or elsewhere, for example against Piwis. A transformation consumable also works.

In what order should you visit the Kabombz nests?

[8,15], then [5,10], then [11,5]. The survey is automatic as soon as you enter the map.

How do you capture the Kabombz?

By fighting them in the Osavane, without a soul stone: the alteration falls off on its own. The lone ones are at [7,15], [8,14], [8,13] and [7,13], and you must bring the alterations back in less than an hour.

Do you have to hand over Orichor?

3 Orichor, if you are not a Handyman around level 20. Otherwise, craft the insulation panel with the resources from the outpost crates, on the anvil on Gobastol's map.

What is the Automatic Dimensional Reducer for?

To enter all Rikiki zones without changing size. It replaces the Rikiki Wand; activated by hand, it costs 1 Orichor for 60 minutes.
