How this tame works
- It circles you for 45s before it will settle, and re-checks whether you are still worth following every 20s.
- It tags along and pays out when you finish a treasure hunt, up to 4000 progress for the hardest kind.
- Standing around costs you progress every 90 seconds, about 1% of the requirement each time.
- Take longer than 10 minutes and it turns on you.
