For anyone struggling with the default text background and distracting borders - here's a simple texture replacement that adds transparency to the background and ports the same borders from BS1, along with matching colors.
Should be a lot easier on the eyes.
Just drop this into the game's folder, replacing Window.png inside Graphics\System.
There were also some wonky artifacts in the game's original file, I've gone ahead and fixed all those too.

Don't touch the gaps outside the games, they are rabbit holes too deep to plumb.
I know its a fool`s errand. Trying to chase weird details. But i cant help myself & wanted input from different people. Maybe i overlooked something obvious etc.
To my suprise the BlackSouls/Toro games made me really curious about their lore/potential hidden secrets & overall worldbuilding. Always had a softspot for weird/niche indie RPG-Maker games. Bless this forum/community for discovering this gem.

You can try Monster girl Quest Paradox, similar to Black Souls, more or less Grimm dark depend of you. And hey, a good game to past time before release of Black Souls 3 and oh surprise, the part 3 of Paradox is next year, so witch one is going to release first I like to see.
Quick question.... Are the enemies supposed to respawn after you take 2 steps after killing them? I thought they only came back after resetting the map... Did I mess something up??? They're appearing out of thin air as I'm walking away from where I kill them. This happen to ALL enemies btw(Not bosses). I'm at the start of the game.
Yeah, they respawn very quickly, just use the invisibility spell if you don't want to fight them.
The walkthrough linked in the OP says ( DLC2 , v1.13 ) when I open it. Does it show how to get the content for them? And if I follow it am I in a good place to start DLC 3?
Skimmed over it and it looks like that guide doesn't direct you to the chaos dungeon at all. Beating the old king in the chaos dungeon is one of the requirements to get into dlc 3. You can do that after G end if you want, or before. It doesn't matter but if you do it before, you will need to enter the dungeon at least once after G end.

Since search doesn't seem to give me a straight answer on this, how exactly does Jub Jub affect other heroines at progression 10? I was curious about what happens to each them if anyone happens to know.
Feel free to correct these if they're wrong. Further context would be cool too.
Dodo
Jub eats her? Or she goes somewhere else? Just a cryptic message...
Shisha
Goes into super depression state?
Dee & Dum
Dum... eats Dee?!
Duchess
Skull on a plate?
Tea Party Trio
Hung themselves at the base of the Clock Tower?
Wolris
Looks like she killed herself?
Kuti
Floods the beach? I assume Turtle dies as a result too.
Unsure about the others (Bill? Lorina?), but Prickett/Victoria/Bandersnach/Jabberwock seem unaffected as far as I can tell?

Dodo is killed by the butcher, you can find her remains in the slaughterhouse.
Shisha gets too drugged, remembers some of the times she was "saved" (kept alive) via rape
One of them is cheating on another, or thinks so, and kills/eats the possible offender.
Not sure about the duchess, the pumpkin man goes crazy?
Definetely JubJub....technically the Hatter is still alive, but.....
Wolris overeats, tries to eat the daughter of an Elder One, it eats her from inside....
Yeah, Kuti floods the beach, kills the sad turtle, and possibly Mery and the gryphon girl
Bill and his god keep fucking each other, the snake god gets a little too intense and Bill dies.....
Lorina doesn't go more insane than she already is.....same as the other 4....

To the best of my memory,
Dodo is hunted by the butcher boss you encounter in the Slaughterhouse. If you examine a certain bucket in the boss room, you'll find Dodo's remains in there. Examining the bucket before Dodo is hunted won't reveal this flavor text.
The Duchess either ate herself or was eaten by the gigantic living food thing in the basement. That thing is now a boss btw.
Wolris, or Shivuchi, is a bit special. She has different triggers depending on certain variables. If Jubjub is alive and not confined at SP10+, Wolris will either go mad or turn into a monstrosity. In these events, Wolris will turn into a monster if Oyster is still alive. She'll actually eat the Oyster. During a battle with her, she will get killed by a monster-turned Oyster from the inside, and you'll end up fighting Oyster for the rest of the battle. If Oyster is dead or confined, Wolris goes mad, which I assume is what you saw.
Kuti floods the beach and kills Turtle, or Modoki, and makes a turtle soup out of her. She literally says this. You can choose to fight a boss battle with her. Anyone else at the beach is assumed dead or missing.
You didn't mention them but Turtle uses mercury to poison Griffy. You can find Griffy's body outside the restaurant and it mentions she vomited a lot of blood and was trying to get back inside. Inside, Turtle has stabbed herself in the chest and left a suicide note talking about her feelings towards Griffy. However, she's too cowardly to confess and can't stand living with the feelings. It also says Griffy would be lonely after her death so she poisoned Griffy.
I don't know how you got that from a single line about bite marks on his bones
Btw, Yes. Caroll invoked Mary Sue (beach memory), and Alice invoked crawling one (queensland memory)...maybe. The term selfish is more often used to describe Mary Sue but it also uses the verb crawling, and crawling one is is described as selfish at least once, so it's not completely clear. Maybe they had teamed up at that point already. Mary Sue provided the actors and stage for crawling ones love?

Ah, I see. So that's what would happen if Kuti wasn't present to flood the beach. Suffering all around...
It's unfortunate that Black Souls doesn't seem to have a proper English wiki with all this information, like MGQP. The lore is so incredibly complex, it would probably take several dozen playthroughs just to experience all the possible scenes.
Does this still happen if the boss is already dead before progression 10?
Don't mind me butting into this convo, but I'm still trying to digest the whole thing about the Great Ones. My understanding, based on Mabel's dialogue inside Chaos Dungeon, is that Mary Sue and Alice are both "Great Ones" - with Alice given the particular alias of "Crawling One".
Black Souls 1 took place in Mary Sue's garden (Lost Empire), whereas 2 took place in Alice's garden (Wonderland). From the short cinematic, the other Great Ones would be the White Queen, the Red Queen and Jabberwock? Unsure who the Red Queen is, but White Queen is pretty convincingly Node (who appears to have stepped down from her position as queen?).
Also, it's not entirely clear to me why or how Mary Sue lost her powers, and why she's referred to as Mary Ann in Black Souls 2 instead.
I haven't finished DLC3 yet so I might be missing some context.
Man, I really wish there was a wiki.
You're mostly correct. "Alice" is not the "real" Alice but crawling one masquerading as her. The only point where "real" Alice shows up is during G end in the white space. The alias "crawling one" comes from one of the alternate names of Nyarlathotep, who that character is based on. If the character is not directly from a fairy tale (drops one on death), they probably have a counterpart in Lovecraft lore, if not real life (nightmare spirits).Ah, I see.

Great ones and outer ones are almost synonymous I think. Basically every heroine in bs 2 is one. That includes bandersnatch, jub jub, even griffy probably. This does not include characters like Chick or Dorothy, who come directly from fairy tales. You can tell usually by if their form changes at 0 sen.
Red queen is currently Prickett but she is the second generation red queen. It's unknown who the first generation one is.
There is a certain floor in chaos dungeon that reveals why and how Mary Sue lost her powers and why her name is changed. There's also a bit more in dlc 3. As for why her name was changed specifically to Mary Ann, it has to do with the characters of Alice in Wonderland. Mary Ann was a maid of the white rabbit but only appears in name, she basically has no plot presence. It's to symbolize Mary Sue's loss of power. She went from a Mary Sue (overpowered character with little to no flaws) to a prisoner with no power.

Either way, yes. I tested it out just a while ago.Does this still happen if the boss is already dead before progression 10?
...there's red riding woods.....but it's the first, the worst, and depressing.....
