Chandlo Tests His Might is the side quest for Chandlo Funkbun.
Chandlo is one of extremes when it comes to physical challenges and believes he can get stronger through the consumption of Bugsnax.
All of his focus lies on one tree stump he wants to tear out of the ground to prove to himself that he is strong enough to do anything; specifically protecting the person dearest to him, which is Snorpy Fizzlebean. This includes protecting Snorpy from the most unlikely scenarios of natural disasters the pair could be faced with. That is, unlikely unless one travels to Snaktooth Island.
Snorpy, unaware of his lover's love language, as well as that they are lovers, is oblivious to why Chandlo has such a focus on a tree stump. He develops a handy tool to easily remove it, thinking that was what bothered Chandlo.
That's enough, Chandlo! You're going to make your biceps explode!
I'm not stoppin', dawg! I almost got it- GRRRRAAAA!!
You know, I could just make a digging device-
That's not the point, bro! I can DO THIS!
...If you insist. I'll go ready some ice packs...
Do you need help?
Yeah, dawg. I'm tryin' to pull up this stump so I can build a B-ball court. I'm about as swole as a Grumpus can get, and I can't move this thing at all! I gotta be stronger than a Grumpus! I gotta push my limits, ya feel me?
I feel ya.
Word.
Uhh...I need your help to bulk up. If you go find the biggest, buffest Bugsnax around, and I EAT them... maybe I'll gain their strength!
Beef Up!
Chandlo wants the 'beefiest' Bugsnax in order to help himself 'gain.'
Objectives:
Catch aggressive meaty Bugsnax! (3/3)
Feed the aggressive meaty Bugsnax to Chandlo. (3/3)
AW YEAH! You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like! Or, y'know, almost. There's no gaining without training, dawg! got a new exercise in mind, if you're ready to spot me.
Hold on a minute...
Let's do it!
Weigh In![]
Weigh In!
Chandlo has set up an exercise routine where I drop weights on him as he runs. I suppose he's the expert in this subject...
Now let's see what you got, stump! GRAAAAAAAAAHHH!! Oh grump, I think my bicep exploded. But that's okay. I just gotta rest up and keep training. With this Bugsnak body, I'll get there. Cuz if I don't, who's gonna have Snorpy's back?
Throw Down![]
Still stumped?
Yeah, Bro. I'm not getting any stronger. I wasn't pushing hard enough...Maybe it's the Bugsnax. We went wayyy too small, ya feel me? I been hearing rumors about this monster Snak out in the forest! Wambus said it was so huge, no Grumpus alive could lift it. Sounds like the ultimate workout! Let's catch it, Bro!
Hold up a minute...
Let's do it!
AW YEAH! Meet me in Flavor Falls!
Throw Down!
Chandlo wants me to spot him as he challenges a legendary very huge Bugsnak. I should probably catch it as well.
Objectives:
Meet Chandlo in Flavor Falls!
Catch one Mama Mewon. (1/1)
Feed one Mama Mewon. (1/1)
*Cut to Flavor Falls*
This way, dawg! Just thinkin' about that buff Snak is getting me pumped! ...Snorpy keeps tellin' me it's okay if I can't lift the tree stump. And I feel that, and I love him for it, but he just doesn't get it. I'm doing this for HIM! The world will crush you if you let it. I gotta be strong enough to keep him safe from all that.
*Follow Chandlo to Mama Mewon's location*
There it is! Wambus wasn't kidding, that Snak is HUUUUUUUGE! Alright, ya big bug! Here comes the CHANDLO SLAM!
*Chandlo rushes Mama Mewon, before being thrown back by it*
OOOFHYAAA
*Mama Mewon Boss Battle*
After hitting Mama Mewon with stalactites 3 times, it will charge at the Journalist. The screen goes black, then cuts to the Journalist waking up to Chandlo standing in front of them.
That was a close one, dawg! That snak is on a rampage!! ...I got an idea. I'll distract the Mama, you get the drop on her!
*Chandlo picks up a Wee Mewon and stands under a stalactite*[3]
HEY, OVER HERE! I GOT YOUR BABY BALL!
COME AT ME, BRAAW!!
*After defeating Mama Mewon*
Thanks, Bro. That bug coulda killed me! It was wayyyy strong, dawg. And once I eat it, I'll be just as strong!
*Feed Chandlo the Mama Mewon*
...I was hopin' I'd get twice as big or somethin'...but naw, I'm just the same Chandlo. And Chandlo isn't good enough. I spent my whole life climbin' a mountain... and once I got to the peak, all I saw was a taller mountain! Bro, even if I could rip out that stump, I couldn't stop an earthquake. There's always something bigger than me. Stronger than me. Snorpy's always gonna be in danger.
*Chandlo runs off.*
Aftermath[]
Upon returning to Snaxburg, the tree stump behind the mill will be missing.
Where's the stump, Snorpy!?
I removed it with my digging device. It took five minutes.
BROOOO!!!... Thanks...
Any time, Chandlo.
