'''Emerald Tablets''' are small green items found typically near [[Orb of True Knowledge|Orbs of True Knowledge]], primarily significant for the game lore they contain. When examined, tablets will at first show their text in glowing green glyphs, which slowly morphs into readable text. Every tablet is different, and most are accompanied by an [[Orb of True Knowledge]], with the exception of the ''Secretorum Hermetis'' and ''Tabula Smaragdina''.
−
==Description==
  
−
The Emerald Tablets are items of unknown number.
 
   
  +
== Uses ==
−
They can be converted into gold when placed on the pedestal on top of the flying island above the mine entrance.
 
   
  +
Emerald Tablets can be used as weapons by throwing them at enemies, similar to rocks created by the [[Summon Rock]] [[Spells|spell]]. This can be highly effective against most enemies, as they do considerable damage and are counted as accidental ('trick') kills, rewarding twice as much gold dropped. Physics damage is highly effective even against powerful enemies such as [[Stevari]], so having a tablet on hand can provide a powerful if sometimes unwieldy weapon.
−
'''BUT - Upon converting any of the tablets into gold there is a minor chance that 2-3 flying fiery enemies will spawn and very likely end your current run for you.'''
 
   
  +
They can also be converted into gold when placed on the altar on top of the floating island above the Mountain, although converting too many (>2) can trigger [[Helvetinkatse|Hell Gazers]] (2/9chance) to spawn. See the [[Forest#The Floating Island|Forest]] page for details.

  +
== List of Emerald Tablets ==
−
Numbered Emerald Tablets and the Tablet of Thoth are accompanied by [[Orb of True Knowledge|Orbs of True Knowledge]].
 
   
−
It is possible to utilize Emerald Tablets as weapons, given that they can be thrown, especially early on. They do considerable damage and are counted as Accidental kills, garnering twice as much gold, or four times as much with Trick Greed.

Emerald Tablets are small green items found typically near Orbs of True Knowledge, primarily significant for the game lore they contain. When examined, tablets will at first show their text in glowing green glyphs, which slowly morphs into readable text. Every tablet is different, and most are accompanied by an Orb of True Knowledge, with the exception of the Secretorum Hermetis and Tabula Smaragdina.

Uses

Emerald Tablets can be used as weapons by throwing them at enemies, similar to rocks created by the Summon Rock spell. This can be highly effective against most enemies, as they do considerable damage and are counted as accidental ('trick') kills, rewarding twice as much gold dropped. Physics damage is highly effective even against powerful enemies such as Stevari, so having a tablet on hand can provide a powerful if sometimes unwieldy weapon.

They can also be converted into gold when placed on the altar on top of the floating island above the Mountain, although converting too many (>2) can trigger Hell Gazers (2/9chance) to spawn. See the Forest page for details.

The necessity of concealing the Art is one of the chief anxieties
of alchemists. We are sworn to secrecy by heaven and earth and hell,
By the four elements, by the height and the depth,
By Hermes, by Anubis, and by the howlings of Kerkoros.
An oath has been required of us to reveal nothing clearly to any uninitiated being.

Stone Tablets

Item laboratory tablet

When placed on the Anvil at the bottom right of the Hiisi Base, certain tablets can be "reforged" into Stone Tablets. The name of the tablet remains the same, but the text content changes. Most numbered tablets can be converted in this manner, and the resulting stone tablet will contain a hint at which materials are required to reveal hidden glyphs in the Orb Room the tablet came from. Adding the material(s) to one of the basins in the orb room (after removing the water they usually contain) will reveal glyphs which can be translated into Finnish, revealing some of the story of the game.
