The Role of Onyx Apples & Gelt Chocolates

[Kradia]

With the recent changes to Onyx Apples, it seems like the perfect time to introduce adjustments that would allow players to work towards defeating Horntail.

It would be truly exciting if Onyx Apples were incentivized to play the role of being used at CWKPQ. This will essentially be the case, since apples are one-of-a-kind and take up one inventory slot. Upon successfully completing CWKPQ, the bonus stage should reward players with a substantial amount of Gelt Chocolates. And by "substantial," I mean that each bonus stage should drop between 5 to 10 Gelts. This adjustment would also serve as "compensation" for the apparent heavy nerfs applied to Taos (if compared to vanilla).

The point of this would be to let players accumulate Gelt Chocolates over time and ultimately utilize them in their battle against Horntail.
