The JavaMatic is a Landmark located right of the shed on top of some cinder blocks. It is used to activate the final event of the game to brew the Embiggening Cocktail, which is one of the most difficult challenges of the entire game.
Starting The JavaMatic[]
The JavaMatic can be started anytime after beating the Undershed Lab and saving Dr. Wendell Tully. It is started by blowing up the Cracked Glass on the JavaMatic and inserting the Embiggening Cell into it. The player must then put the ingredients used to make the cocktail and climb the wire on the side and put them on the pencil sharpener on top of the device. Once this is done, the player can start the JavaMatic by pressing the "On" button on the calculator in front of it. Once this has happened, a cinematic will play showing O.R.C Fire Worker Ants attacking the MIX.R Modules below. The player must repair them with a Repair Tool, showing what will happen if they fail the real event. Once repaired, the player can press the on button again to start the real event.
Do note, after the first attempted activation, the JavaMatic Storage Facility will open after talking to Wendell, providing loot to start building defenses around the modules
JavaMatic Defense Event[]
Once the event is started, the player must defend the 3 MIX.R modules from a swarm of O.R.C. Creatures for about 11 minutes 15 seconds. The player can build defenses around the modules, and it is highly recommended to avoid one point being quickly swarmed and destroyed. Wendell will also fight with the player, shooting static charged balls at creatures. Wendell or the teen will also warn the player of the approaching of a large wave or a large creature, which can be either a Ladybird, Black Ox Beetle, or Bombardier Beetle. The first few seconds will be empty of attackers. The following attackers will invade the JavaMatic during the event:
Fire Worker Ant
Firefly (10% Onwards)
Fire Soldier Ant (10% Onwards)- Dust Mite (20% Onwards)
- Ladybird (20% Onwards)
- Tiger Mosquito (20% Onwards)
- Black Ox Beetle (30% Onwards)
- Bombardier Beetle (50% Onwards)
Note: stronger creatures can appear more commonly and earlier in the event if more players are present, such as Tiger Mosquitos being able to spawn at the start of the event.
The O.R.Cs will primarily attack from the front and bottom of the modules, from the two chasms. Few creatures can occasionally attack from the side chasms, and the Undershed Entrance. The first wave is only Fire Worker Ants from both sides primarily.
At about 10%, O.R.C. Fire Soldier Ants are also added to the mix as well as the occasional Firefly.
At 15%, the defense gets more hectic, with a Ladybird spawning, commonly along with 2 Fireflys. Tiger Mosquitos and Dust Mites will also begin to invade.
At 30%, Wendell will likely give his first warning of a large insect, being the first Black Ox Beetle spawn.
At 50%, another Black Ox Beetle will spawn along with 1-2 Bombardier Beetles with it. After this point, Bombardier Beetles can spawn alone, or along a Black ox Beetle.
Near the end of the event, a final Ladybird and Black Ox Beetle paired together will spawn, being the hardest encounter in the event.
After the time expires, the event will end and the player can retrieve the Filled Embiggening Cocktail from the JavaMatic.
