Dialogue

First encounter:

Arnold
*Arnold quietly sniffles to himself.*
Nowak
Hello.
We're looking to form a travelling party.
We're taking anyone we can get.
Are you interested in coming with us?
Bosch
Are we really taking ANYONE we can get?
Is the bar already that low?
Arnold
Oh? You want me to join your little boys club?
Go on grand adventures?
See the world?
...
Get eaten alive by some oversized eel?
Alright, alright.
But I ask for something simple in exchange.
Real simple.
Like even you would understand, simple.
I want you to take all your thoughts, comments and opinions.
And shove them so far up your ass that I can't even hear a smothered whisper.
Nowak
...
Wow.
You're a dick.
Whatever. Goodbye.
Arnold
*Arnold hisses more cruelties quietly to himself.*

Attempting to talk to him again:

Nowak
You know, you don't need to be such a dick.
You really just sit here pissed off all day?
Arnold
Really?
What a thought!
What an amazing insight.
My god, what great philosopher you were in life, maybe I've heard of you.
Tell you what, pie chart.
You rub those two remaining brain cells of yours hard enough together to make a spark.
To form a real original thought.
Once you do that.
Let me know, then we'll talk.
...
Bosch
Cave his skull in.
Nowak
What? No.
Bosch
We both know you could do it.
C'mon, one fell swoop.
Nowak
No!
Bosch
*Bosch crudely mimes bludgeoning Arnold.*
Nowak
C'mon, we're leaving.

Attempting to talk to him a third time:

Nowak
...
Arnold
Bugger off.

Meting him in Hardmode:

Arnold
*Arnold quietly sniffles to himself.*
Oh? Back to gloat are you?
Back to tell ol' Arnold how much of a screw up he is?

Choosing yes:

Nowak
Yeah.
Yeah I am.
But you know what?
You're not even worth it.
Arnold
...
Nowak
Keep working on that puddle of tears.
You should be able to drown yourself in it soon.
Arnold
...
Arnold
*Arnold is ugly crying and not even trying to hide it.*

Choosing no:

Nowak
*You slump down next to Arnold.*
Arnold
What are you doing?
Nowak
I'm tired, everything's been a lot lately.
Arnold
*Arnold has stopped sniffling, trying to reclaim some sense of dignity.*
...
..
.
Why do you look like that?
Nowak
The gold?
No idea.
Arnold
No, the floating.
Nowak
Oh, that's demon magic.
I think.
Arnold
Heh, demon magic.
Now that would make a headline.
...
Got any of that demon magic left?
Nowak
Trust me, it's not worth it.
Bosch
*Bosch frowns in the distance.*
Arnold
Yeah, probably...
...
I...
I'm sorry I was such a dense asshat earlier.
I'm just not a people person.
Heh.
...
That's a lie.
I'm desperate for approval.
...
God, I'm sorry.
Nowak
It's alright.
Arnold
I was talking to God.
Nowak
Oh, sorry.
Arnold
That was a joke, I was talking to you.
Man, I've gotten rusty.
Nowak
Oh...
...
Well it's time for me to go.
Arnold
...
Can I, can I come with you?
Nowak
Uhh...
Arnold
It's okay if I wouldn't be of any use.
I just-
I need to prove myself.
Not to anyone else but-
But to me.
Nowak
...
Yeah.
You can come along.
Arnold
Of course!

Meeting them afterwards:

Nowak
Hey, are you still willing to tag along with us?
Arnold
Of course!


Meeting them afterwards, with a full party:

Nowak
Hey, are you still willing to tag along with us?
Arnold
I'm afraid you already have more than enough people.
I'd just be in the way.

Tips

  • Because enemy health is a lot higher than party member health, the similar scaling between Tears and Punch makes Tears much more effective
  • Additionally, using Arnold as a healer keeps him out of danger, making it harder for Panic Attack to be activated

Trivia

  • Out of all the party members Agon and Arnold have committed the most crimes knowingly , for Arnold it was mostly Tax Fraud[2]
