is Basil

it makes sense

he is the sole crown sink of the game, and he only accepts crowns, which is a currency the clockwork inhabitants carry; the currency of which you murder them for

basically he is using the spiral knights to become the richest man in the clockworks

now that you discover the horrible truth, he wants you to die

Pff, Basil can't be the boss.

Pff, Basil can't be the boss. He's an underling. A midboss at best. The planet is the real boss. And you can't win. It will crush you if you try to attack it in earnest. >O

Basil is Oregano's pawn.

You come to me and ask me to

You come to me and ask me to kill a man I do not know. Now I ask you...why should I kill this Tinkerzard?

And then you go down to fight

And then you go down to fight him, and if you're flat broke he uses all sorts of crazy weapon attacks. However, if you have plenty of crowns to burn he'll only have some horrible, underpowered crap weapons to attack you with.

Part of me hopes that, when

Part of me hopes that, when we do get to the core, we have a multi-phase final battle with Basil that, upon completion, causes the entire planet to implode. This would involve "defeating" Basil, at which point he remote-detonates several carefully placed explosives to cause the planet's implosion, which would result in a Chase/Timed Escape-type level where the floor is crumbling behind you while you must kill waves of enemies standing between you and our now-fleeing Basil, else you fall into the Clockworks and be consumed by it.

And of course, a climactic remix of Spiral Knight's main theme would be playing throughout this entire debacle.

It's only fitting.

Killing Basil should cause

Killing Basil should cause him to drop every recipe he never had when I needed it.

Because I just know he's got them, he's just being stingy.

You people think you can beat

You people think you can beat Basil? He has all those recipes... meaning he probably has every weapon in the game. Better still, maybe he's the one who makes recipes in the first place. You think he'd give you his real stash? The moment you try is the moment he pulls out the super nitro big angry shivermist toxic volt fiery graviton bomb with 0.0001 second charge time. Should you even last through that, he has his guns and swords ready for you...

When somebody beats Basil..

..There will be a new recipe vendor, and he will only sell recipes for CE. Cue the tsunami of complaints.
