Changes: Ser Pounce-a-lot

Revision as of 13:49, 1 April 2011

Once you give Anders the Kitten it becomes a new item, Ser Pounce-a-lot, in your inventory.

Use

Using Ser Pounce-a-lot has two effects. Out of combat, Anders will talk to the kitty (see Dialogue below).

Used in combat, Ser Pounce-a-lot will instantly revive all party members as long as one member is able to use him. Party members are revived with a fraction of their health and no stamina or mana.

Warning: Ser Pounce-a-lot has been reported to behave differently in boss battles. Some players report being unable to use him. The cause for this is currently unknown. (It could be that when Anders is not in the party, Ser Pounce-a-lot is also absent. [player experience])

When Anders talks with Ser Pounce-a-lot, his lips move when the cat says "Meow" as if it were Anders saying "Meow".

Note: Occasionally another character may say "Meow" instead; this has been confirmed with Oghren and Justice.

Dialogue

Anders: Who's the pretty kitty? Yes you are!
Ser Pounce-a-lot: (Meow!)

Anders: Does this make you my familiar, Ser Pounce-a-lot? What do you think?
Ser Pounce-a-lot: (Meow!)

Anders: What do you think of your name, Ser Pounce-a-lot? Do you think it's appropriate?
Ser Pounce-a-lot: (Meow!)

Anders: Shall I train you to become a vicious attack kitten? (Snarls)
Ser Pounce-a-lot: (Meow!)

Anders: Hello Ser Pounce-a-lot. Still intact, I see?
Ser Pounce-a-lot: (Meow!)

Anders: Are you hungry, Ser Pounce-a-lot? I have some dried mackerel you could nibble on.
Ser Pounce-a-lot: (Meow!)

Anders: You know, mages created mabari hounds. Maybe I could make you just as smart as those stupid dogs.
Ser Pounce-a-lot: (Meow!)

Anders: Maker's Breath, kitty! What have you been eating!
Ser Pounce-a-lot: (Meow!)

Notes

Ser Pounce-a-lot is also referenced in Dragon Age II, in party banter between Anders and other companions. Anders has lost the cat by the start of the game and misses having a feline companion very much, even going so far as to leave a saucer of milk outside of his clinic in Darktown.

Evidently, the Grey Wardens forced him to leave the cat with a friend in Amaranthine, concerned that keeping him was making Anders "too soft."

-Anders calling Ser Pounce-a-lot his 'familiar' might be a reference to the DC Comics character Klarion the Witch Boy and his cat named Teekl, whom he needs to maintain his existence in the Earth realm.
