Elder Xelpud

Elder Xelpud is the leader of the Village of Departure. He offers the player a wide variety of advice, both in-person and remotely through the Xelputter app. The usefulness of this advice can vary, but he always has something unique and humorous to say.

As in the previous game, Xelpud will give a description of whatever Usable Item you have equipped when you speak to him. Later in the game, he will also give you hints about where to find Game Software that you are missing.

Glossary Entry
''Elder Xelpud was responsible for protecting the La-Mulana ruins till their destruction; now, he simply enjoys life. He turned La-Mulana into a tourist spot, bringing in visitors and also hefty profits. Once a hardcore lover of video games, Xelpud is now all about finance: he dresses up all snazzy-like and women serve him hand and foot. Though he did hire the women to do that.''
