Stultifera Navis: "Little Handy"

This article is about the special feature in Stultifera Navis. For the device introduced in Path of Life, see Little Handy (device).

The "Little Handy" is similar to Stickers in Dossoles Holiday in which it aids the player in clearing Stultifera Navis operations. It is unlocked by searching the Messy Junk Pile in Gran Faro and made up of five components with two different effects each, but the player can only choose either to be used at a time; the components must be recovered by exploring the SN maps before they can be used.

Background

The "Little Handy" is an Aegirian device brought by Breogan when he migrated to Iberia. Its user manuals state that the Little Handy was made with "the profound wisdom of the sages" and "the virtue of helping others" and can be used to "deliver people from suffering" or "freeing oneself from the trivialities of mundane affairs," although its exact functionality and purpose is not well understood by the land-walkers.

The Little Handy is made up of five independent modules.

• Wilderness Survival Module: Consisting of what appears to be pulleys and thin wires, it is said to be able to "stave off the pernicious fangs that dwell in the seabeds of trouble, or even the poisoned slings and arrows of fate's outrageous fortune", and recommended for Aegirs who are about to venture through land.
• Housekeeping Assistant Module: Said to be able to "cleanse the dust in your home and the filth in your soul", it enhances the Little Handy's efficiency as a "cleaning specialist" and does have some use in improving the Inquisition's Hands of the Saint.
• Incremental Motion Firmware: Recommended for one whose body can't keep up with their thoughts, it is said to show one "the joys of exercise" once installed.
• Mini Decontamination Kit: Provides the Little Handy with decontamination functionalities.
• External Upgrade Module: Likely an overclocking or limiter removal module that allows the Little Handy to perform well past its normal specifications but with the risk of wear and tear.

Following Breogan's death, the Little Handy lays dormant in Gran Faro until it was recovered by the Abyssal Hunters during the hunt for the Stultifera Navis, who puts it to good use after recovering the device's modules scattered across Gran Faro and the Stultifera Navis.

Bugs/glitches

Contrary to the in-game description, Interdiction - Fortification applies to all friendly units, including summons that normally can neither be attacked nor targeted by enemies as listed below and Hands of the Saint (the deployed device, not the launched projectile).

• The following summons will block an enemy who will attack it without dealing damage:
  • Reinforcements while they are respawning after being defeated
  • Skadi's Seaborn
  • Support Devices
• The following summons will block an enemy who will attack and actually damage it:
  • Cursed Doll
  • Industrial Water Cannon
  • Medical Drone
  • Night Banisher; its HP bar is not shown when attacked while not being selected
  • Traps; if its HP is reduced to 0, it will be triggered
  • Typewriter (only possible in SN-EX-2)
