A Flaming Moai in VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action
A Flaming Moai is 1 Adelhyde, 1 Bronson Extract, 2 Powdered Delta, 3 Flanergide and 5 Karmotrine . All mixed.
It's a Sour and Classy drink, costing $150.
It's a secret drink that is necessary to bring secret characters to the bar. The recipe is not shown in CALICOMP, and no-one ever asks directly for it.
When to serve Flaming Moai?[]
There are three secret characters that come on Days 14, 16, and 17, that will only come to VA-11 Hall-A if the player serves Flaming Moais to a few specific characters.
Specifically, the player has to serve this specific drink to Alma, Kim, and Stella to unlock the secret characters for Days 16 and 17. Flaming Moai should be only appropriately served whenever a client requests "something classy, classic, sour", or "something", like Kim does on Day 1.
Secret Client #1[]
The first secret client comes on Day 14 when you serve a Flaming Moai for anyone. Kim, Alma, and Sei are possible clients to serve Flaming Moai for, but it's recommended to serve it to Kim, when you're prompted for "something" to calm her down on Day 1. You can also serve it to Sei when she asks for "something classy" on Day 1. If you serve Alma it instead, you won't be able to get Secret Client #2 without breaking your flawless service bonus.
Secret Client #2[]
The second secret client comes on day 16 if you serve a Flaming Moai for Alma. It's recommended to serve it on Day 5, when she asks for "something classy". You can also serve it on Day 11, when she asks for "something cold and with alcohol". Alma will complain, but it won't break your flawless service bonus, if you want to save that.
Secret Client #3[]
The third secret client comes on Day 17 if you serve Flaming Moai for Stella. She never asks for something classy; however, on Day 17, she asks for "something classic". Giving her the Flaming Moai would prompt her to question if the drink is really "classic" and counts as a mistake. However, if you make the Flaming Moai, reset before serving it to Stella, and then make and serve her a Beer instead, the third secret client still comes.
It's also worth noting that when Stella and Sei shows up on day 10 and orders two Bloom Lights, the player can make one Bloom Light and one Flaming Moai instead, which triggers some special dialogue between the two girls, as Stella picks the Flaming Moai over the Bloom Light, saying that the Bloom Light "tastes like sand" compared to the Flaming Moai. This, however, does not count towards making the secret clients to appear.
Trivia[]
- The ingredient order for the Flaming Moai is based on the Fibonacci Sequence.
- Flaming Moai is a play on words, and a reference to the Flaming Moe drink from The Simpsons.
- The recipe to the Flaming Moai is also revealed by the Read Only Memories cameo of Dana Zane.
