Hey there shopkeep!
One of the features in Merek's Market that players love is bosses but with only limited real estate on the store page they're not showcased in much detail. So let's take a dive and see what makes up a boss craft.
Short Description: "Boss crafts are challenging multistage crafting challenges under time pressure".
Taking the first boss craft, the statue, as an example. An eccentric customer rocks up and asks Merek to make a lifelike statue of him by the end of the day. Merek has to start by making some wooden shoes, then a chest piece and so on, building up a hefty statue.
All boss crafts feature minigames to give you that little extra challenge when trying to get things done as fast as possible. For every statue piece Merek crafts and places he's shown a button pattern than must be memorised and repeated. Easy enough but also easy to make mistakes if it's rushed too much.
Even with all this going on, it's still a regular day at the shop and customers need to be served. Serving customers while you are building a boss craft rewards you with time freezes to help you get the lowest time you can. Ignore them at your peril.
