Chad, also known as Dick or Dax, is a secret NPC in YIIK. He is based off of internet comedian Dick Masterson. He works as a hint system for Ending 3, and was added in the third revision of the 1.06 update. He appears at specific locations with specific conditions, and on specific consoles. It's unknown how many of these locations exist in total.

Supposedly, you must give the aviators to him in Chapter 4 to receive a red pill.

In YIIK I.V he is fought as a boss alongside Vinchenzo. His battle theme is titled Chad and Vinchenzo.

Boss Fight

Chad fights alongside Vinchenzo. He is equipped with a dumbbell, which he can use to increase his STR for a period of time. Eventually his muscles will deflate and make him weaker.

Appearances

South Town

On all versions of the game, there is a 5% chance there will be a prompt in the very top right of the map (east of the drinking fountain). If you don't get it, head back to the Overworld and re-enter and try again. Picking the item up will give you "Aviators?" This item will not appear in your inventory and is seemingly(?) not used for anything else. Dax will appear in the middle of the street and give you some dialogue.

Oh man, you can see me ?
I guess you must be a pretty cool guy then.
Hey listen, come find me in a place a little less public. But I gotta warn you, I usually only talk to chicks. Princesses, especially. So, maybe you could do something about your name of yours, at least.
Come find me when the world ends, I'll hook you up with something important.

Fire Escape

This location has a few requirements before you should go searching for it. It seems to only be found in the PC version.

• You must be on New Game+
• You must be named "Zelda"
• You must have the "Aviators?" from South Town.

If these requirements are fulfilled, you can go into the Factory Hotel a bit later into the playthrough. A staircase will be there, which you can enter to go into Sammy's room. From there, exit out the window and you'll be in the Fire Escape area. Continue up the Fire Escape, then continue left. Chad will be standing in front of a horizontal ladder.

So, you found me, huh? I gotta say, I'm pretty impressed.
So, you'll be looking to get into the tower, right? Well, you're on the right path. I can give you the key, but first you must find me something.
I'm looking for a pill. Specifically, a yellow pill. Bring it to me, and I'll give you the keys to the tower.
Simple?
Great.
Go fuck yourself.

Bowling Alley

In YIIK I.V's Dark Game battle mode, the Flasher was replaced by Chad in an optional mini-boss fought in the Bowling Alley in Chapter 4. Alex must investigate the van there before entering the Mall to encounter him. He fights alongside Vinchenzo.

Mt. ONISM

Chad is a random encounter in Y2K II's Mt. ONISM alongside Vinchenzo and Alex or Jeffery. This connects Chad to the 3rd ending even more, as Mt. ONISM is (or related to) the Tower in the overworld which Chad talks about.

Other Chad Locations

It has been implied that there are other locations at Flag Town for PS4, and Mt. Town for Switch. However this may instead refer to the star of the 3rd ending route instead and not Chad.

It has also been said that you can find Chad around the time Alex goes to the mall.

Datamining the Switch version of the game shows that there is some form of Chad location at KNN, where you can gain the Red Pill immediately when you enter with the right save data.

Trivia

• His shirt is differently colored as an NPC versus in-battle.
• In 1.25, a bug exists on the Switch version of the game where it crashes when collecting the aviators. This may mean the quest is bugged for that version.
  • As of 1.5, the bug is fixed.
• On the Dick Show podcast, it was revealed that Andrew wanted Dick Masterson to voice for the game, likely as this character.
• Their red and white striped shirt is reminiscent of Waldo from Where's Waldo, fitting for their role as an NPC that's hard to find.
• Chad is the only character in the game to have their name in the dialogue box colored white, rather than green.
• In earlier screenshots of his model, he doesn't have any wrinkles on his forehead.
• His aviators are likely a reference to Dick Masterson's appearance on Dr. Phil, where he was wearing a pair.
• In the I.V test room, Chad and Vinchenzo are referred to as the Dynamic Duo.
