To Start

  • You must meet this criteria in order to do this quest:
    • Have beaten the "Alms for the Pudgy" quest
    • Have beaten the "Fortress Chateau" quest
    • Have eaten at General Tso's Arbenagerian Chow at least ONCE
    • Go to the entrance of Fort Zian. Gyro the Spearhead, a green Quick Man with a spike on the boomerang on his head, will be waiting there.
  • Start this quest at:
    • Fort Zian

Part One: Chase him Down!

When you reach the entrance of Fort Zian, you will meet with a mysterious Gyro the Spearhead, who claims he is Neuconsin's fastest runner. He challenges Homestar to a one-on-one race. After a count of three, you dash off from the entrance. You have to keep up with Gyro in order to win the race. Otherwise, you have to start the quest all over again. For an easier time, use Athelete's Foot to slow him down. If you are ever in front of him, run in a zig-zag pattern to slow him down a TON.

Part Two: Townbreak

You chase Gyro down through Fort Zian's entrance path, then back down to the shortcut leading to Fort Zian Underground. Jump over the mines as you did when running from the rolling boulder in the quest 'Fortress Chateau'. When you reach the fence, head to the teleporter and you'll be back at the halfway point of Fort Zian's entrance. Go after Gyro all the way down to Arbenager Village. When you reach the town, you both stop. Gyro will say that he's amazed at his running antics, and will challenge Homestar to a sparring duel.

Part Three: Friendly Sparring

You have to fight Gyro now. 

Gyro the Spearhead
HP: 1400
Attacks: Spear Boomerang Kamikazee, Fog Punch, RunSlash, Energy Cap Break, Copy Summon 
Strategy: Gyro will use many energy capsules to keep himself alive. Have The Cheat in your party 
so that his paralysis attacks will stun Gyro, thus giving you free cheap shots. Watch out for Copy Summon, as he will create a crystal blue
version of himself that will either use Spear Boomerang Kamikazee, Fog
Punch, or RunSlash. Fourtanately, Gyro can only maintain the clone's
density until after it attacks, and the attack counts as his turn, so
you can attack him.

Part Four: You Win?!

Gyro admits defeat and gives you the 'Star Armor'. He'll retreat to the gym, where you can now battle him as many times as you like.
