Day 6, (If you had a discord I would send photo)
But the Tentacle Mage girl showed up with
- White Robes
- Long Metal Staff with Yellow Gem
- Rope in Mage hand
- Lactating adventurers get the red potion only after day 8?
So unless the long metal staff counts as a melee weapon, she shouldn't be requiring the red potion.
Edit, new run and the long metal staff does not count as a melee weapon.
<spoiler>Edit2, It seems the rope with black weight counts as a melee weapon, will leave this here for posterity.</spoiler>
On a related topic, I am VERY grateful for fixing the bug that crashed the game whenever you restarted the day. Savescumming to max out each day is a LOT easier now.
