Last updated 2026-09-03

Swain is an NPC located in Booastrum District.

Profile

Swain is the first Bangboo the player sees interacting with Maple Syrup and being overwhelmed by the taste of his Blissful Bread Bombs.

Talking to Maple Syrup while he is with Swain grants the achievement Yum- The Taste of Happiness!, and starts a sequence of dialogues involving Boudica and Freddy that grants a Mini Cargo Truck upon completion.

Idle Quotes

(First interaction)
Maple Syrup: Wuh-neh! Wuh-neh, wuh-neh-neh! (Free samples of Blissful Bread Bomb!)
(Boom Scones, 6AM)
Boudica: Please cooperate with the investigation.
Maple Syrup: Wuh-ne wuh-ne! (Don't worry, this is legit bread!)
Swain: Ehn-ne-ne-ne-ne-ne! (Ahhhhh, so happy!)

Dialogue

(Talk to Maple Syrup for the first time)
(If Maple Syrup was not talked to during New Landing Spot)
(A quick flyby of Boom Scones plays)
Maple Syrup: Ehn-nah, wuh-nah! (Welcome to Boom Scones! We've got enough explosive flavor to blow your mind today!)
Maple Syrup: Ehn-ne-nhe, wuh-ne, wuh-en-wuh-nah! (This "Blissful Bread Bomb" is a new product I'm currently developing. Since we're promoting it, both the Bangboo and human versions are available for free tasting now!)
Swain: Ehn-ne... ehn-nhe... Ehn-nhu? (Blissful bread... Wanna try it... but what if it's bad... Have you ever had it, human?)
Icon Dialogue Talk Dunno about the Bangboo version...
Icon Dialogue Talk The one humans eat really has punch.
Maple Syrup: Ehn-ne, wuh-ne-en-nhe, wuh-ne-enn-nhu-enn-neh... (Funny thing is, I tried my best to keep the bread flavor consistent, but the Bangboo customers and human customers rate it so differently. No idea why that is...)
Swain: Ehn-ne-enn-nhe... Ehn-neh-ne! (Can't rely on humans for food reviews... Guess I'll just have to try it myself!)
And so, the little Bangboo chomps down on a Bangboo Blissful Bread Bomb.
Icon Dialogue Talk How was it?
Swain: Ehn-ne ehn-ne ehn-ne-ne— (Never felt so good before! Ahhh—)
Swain: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne ehn-ne! (Thank you... Thank you for being my friend. I'm really, really happy!)
Swain: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne! Ehn-ne ehn-nu-ne ehn-ne! (I wanna give you this bottle cap... and sing you a song—! La↖la↗la↘la↙la!)
Icon Dialogue Talk Huh? A song for me?
Icon Dialogue Talk What's going on?
Maple Syrup: Wuh-ne, wuh-ne, wuh-nuh. (Don't worry, it's just a bit of baking artistry, my friend.)
Maple Syrup: Wuh-nhu, wuh na, nhu ne na! (Seeing customers smile with happiness after taking a bite of the bread... that's what happiness means to me!)
Swain: Ehn-ne-ne! Ehn-ne ehn-nah! (Haha, I'm so happy! I'm a happy little Bangboo!)
Icon Dialogue Talk What did he see that made him so happy?
Maple Syrup: Wuh-ne wuh-ne, wuh-ne. (Of course, he saw the happiest, most joyful thing of his life.)
Icon Dialogue Talk Is he having a data overflow?
Maple Syrup: Wuh-ne! Wuh! Ne! (It's the magic of baking! The creation of happiness! Please don't deconstruct my baking artistry!)
Maple Syrup: Wuh-ne wuh-nuh, ehn-ne. (As far as I know, he really wanted to become good friends with one of his coworkers, but he never dared to speak up.)
Maple Syrup: Wuh-ne, wuh-ne! (I think, in the vision he's seeing right now, they're already good friends!)
Icon Dialogue Talk That's so nice! He must be super happy!
Maple Syrup: Wuh-ne, wuh-ne. (Yeah, I'm happy for him too.)
Icon Dialogue Talk But that didn't actually happen, right?
Maple Syrup: Wuh-ne wuh-ne, wuh-ne? (At least in some world out there, he found happiness, right?)
Maple Syrup: Wuh-ne wuh-nah, wuh-ne wuh-ne. (Still, I hope they can become good friends at my bakery, even though it seems like they never get the chance to talk.)
Icon Dialogue Talk Why don't they get a chance to talk?
Icon Dialogue Talk Don't tell me that friend also...
Maple Syrup: Wuh-ne, wuh-ne wuh-nah! (Look, he's totally blissed out just being near him!)
Achievement Bronze.png Yum- The Taste of Happiness! Achievement Complete

(Boom Scones, 6AM)
Maple Syrup: Wuh-ne wuh-nah! Wuh-ne wuh-ne-ne! (This is the art of baking! It's truly bread that brings happiness to Bangboo!)
Boudica: Sorry, but I'll have to ask for your cooperation. After all, the only time you'd see this many Bangboo go into chaos at once is during one of Ms. Norma's public experiments.
Maple Syrup: Wuh-ne-wuh, wuh-nah wuh-ne-ne! (The customers only tried my latest Blissful Bread Bombs. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it!)
Swain: Ne-nhu-nhe! Ne-ne-nhe-ne, ne-ne-na. (Haha, no problem! We're all homies here, just do me a favor.)
Boudica: I'd say we've got a serious problem here!
Maple Syrup: Wuh-ne, wuh-nah wuh-ne, wuh-ne wuh-ne-ne! (This is the wonder of the Blissful Bread Bomb. Once eaten, it lets everyone see visions of happiness!)
Maple Syrup: Wuh-ne wuh-ne, wuh-nah wuh-ne wuh-ne, wuh-ne wuh-ne? (Just one bite is enough to clear your doubts. We're holding a tasting event right now. Would you like to give it a try?)
Boudica: No, no, no. Keep that thing away from me! As a member of the Airspace Patrol Department, I must say no to dangerous temptations!
Maple Syrup: Wuh-ne? (Huh?)
Swain: Ehn-ne ehn-ne-ne-ne! Ehn! Ne! Nah! (Manager, my friend and I want more Blissful Bread Bombs! We! Want! More!)
Boudica: Hmm... Their behavior closely resembles "Bangboo Memetic Virus" infection... I'd better record this...
Maple Syrup: Wuh-ne? Wuh-ne wuh-ne! Wuh-ne-ne! (What? It's a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding! Don't write that down—wait, don't record it!)
Maple Syrup: Wuh-ne wuh-ne, wuh-nah wuh-ne? (If it were a Bangboo virus, these Bangboo wouldn't even be able to function. Then how could they walk away satisfied after tasting the happiness of the bread?)
Maple Syrup: Wuh-nhu wuh na! Nhu wuh nhu na! (Everyone's happy and nothing unusual is going on. Everyone praises my bread! This customer has visited the shop before too, (‍hehe / sheshe‍) can back me up!)
Boudica: So, is that right, guest?
Icon Dialogue Talk The Bangboo are genuinely happy.
Icon Dialogue Talk Maple Syrup's got a point.
Boudica: I see... In any case, I'll report this in the records once I get back. If the captain decides it's necessary, we'll conduct a further investigation. When that happens, I'd appreciate your cooperation, Manager.
Maple Syrup: Wuh-ne wuh-ne! Wuh-ne wuh-ne-ne! (No problem! My bread can stand up to any inspection!)
Swain: Ne-ne-ehn! Ne-ne-ehn-ne, ne-ne-ne. (Wahaha, no problem!)
Boudica: Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, Maple Syrup. Once the captain wraps up his other duties, we may stop by for an inspection.
