Pocket God Episode 47, aptly named “The Wrath of Con,” centers around the islanders’ perilous encounter with a mischievous pirate captain, Con. Completing this episode hinges on cleverly manipulating the islanders and utilizing the unique properties of a coconut and a barrel of dynamite to outsmart Con and trigger a volcanic eruption. This unlocks new powers and continues the saga of the island gods.
Understanding the Core Mechanics
Episode 47 is less about brute force and more about understanding the sequence of events required to appease the volcano god and send Con packing. It involves strategic placement, timing, and a dash of pyrotechnics. Crucially, you need to understand how Con interacts with the environment and the islanders. He’s a bully, but a predictable one.
Step-by-Step Guide to Episode 47 Completion
Here’s a breakdown of the definitive steps to conquer “The Wrath of Con:”
- Locate Con: Con will appear on the island, typically near the center. He’s hard to miss – a pirate captain complete with an eye patch and a menacing scowl.
- Prepare the Offering: You need a coconut. Drag one from the palm tree to the ground near Con.
- Entice an Islander: Pick up an islander and drop them near the coconut. Con, being the pirate he is, will kick the islander away, sending them tumbling.
- The Dynamite Barrel: Drag the barrel of dynamite (located on the edge of the island) towards Con. Be careful not to drop it directly on him, or it will explode prematurely. Instead, place it slightly away from him, close to where the islander will likely be sent flying.
- The Trigger: Now, repeat the islander-kicking process. This time, Con should kick the islander into the dynamite barrel.
- Kaboom!: The dynamite will explode, catapulting Con into the waiting volcano.
- Volcanic Eruption: The volcano will erupt, signifying the successful completion of the episode. You’ll likely witness a celebratory animation involving the other islanders.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Many players struggle with the precise timing and placement required for this episode. Here are some common pitfalls and how to steer clear:
- Dropping the Dynamite Too Soon: Dropping the dynamite barrel directly on Con results in an immediate explosion, prematurely ending your attempt. The islander needs to be the trigger.
- Imprecise Placement: If the dynamite is too far from Con, the islander will miss it entirely. Experiment with slightly different placements until you find the sweet spot.
- Lack of Patience: It may take a few tries to get the timing and placement correct. Don’t give up!
- Ignoring Con’s Behavior: Pay attention to how Con kicks the islander. He tends to kick in a predictable direction, making it easier to anticipate the trajectory.
The Reward: Unlocking the Power of the Gods
Successfully completing Episode 47 unlocks the power of the “Volcano God.” This grants you the ability to trigger a volcanic eruption at will, allowing you to incinerate your islanders (or anything else, for that matter) with a simple tap.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are some of the most common questions players have about completing Pocket God Episode 47:
What if Con disappears?
Sometimes Con might glitch and disappear. Try restarting the app. He should reappear on the island.
The dynamite explodes before Con kicks the islander. What’s wrong?
You’re likely dropping the dynamite too close to Con. He might be triggering it himself before the islander can. Place it a little further away.
How many islanders do I need?
You only need one islander to complete the episode. However, feel free to use as many as you want as “cannon fodder” while you figure out the timing.
Does it matter where I place the coconut?
The coconut’s placement isn’t crucial, as long as it’s near Con and provides a target for him to interact with. It mainly serves as bait to get him to kick an islander.
Can I use a rock instead of a coconut?
No, you specifically need a coconut for this episode. Con seems to have a particular aversion to them (or perhaps he’s just hungry and frustrated).
I’ve completed the episode, but I don’t see the Volcano God power. Where is it?
The Volcano God power is activated by tapping the volcano itself. A small icon will appear at the bottom of the screen when it’s ready to erupt.
What happens if I drop the dynamite directly onto an islander?
Dropping the dynamite on an islander results in a fiery explosion and the islander’s demise. It’s not necessary for completing the episode, but it’s certainly entertaining.
Can I kill Con any other way?
While there are various ways to dispatch an islander, Con is specifically designed to be defeated by being launched into the volcano via dynamite. Other methods won’t trigger the episode completion.
Is there a specific order in which I need to do things?
Yes, the order is crucial. You must place the coconut, lure an islander, place the dynamite, and then have Con kick the islander into the dynamite.
My islanders keep drowning. Is that affecting the episode completion?
The islanders’ drowning is irrelevant to completing the episode. Focus solely on Con, the coconut, and the dynamite.
Is this episode time-sensitive?
No, there’s no time limit. Take your time and carefully plan your moves.
I’ve tried everything, and it’s still not working! What should I do?
Double-check that you’re following each step exactly. Ensure the dynamite is placed correctly, and the islander is being kicked into the dynamite barrel. Watch video walkthroughs online for visual guidance if needed. Sometimes, simply restarting the game can resolve unforeseen glitches.
