(edited to add stuffs)
I love how expressive the characters can be, makes them feel more alive. Immersive~
Without further ado~
Not Full Guide/Walkthrough but it covers some basic and important bits that otherwise mostly missed or too difficult.
- Game is actually "
short" if you're not getting it all but you'll miss the majority of it, my save atm clocked 76 hours with Eclipse, the difficulty meant to be enjoyed (1st playthrough).
- Circle Game's main focus, "
Cute Girls doing cute stuffs + Tentacles".
- Difficulty doesn't change HP,
ONLY stats parameter. (Wish they tweak HP too, even in Eclipse at some point it's starting to get easier)
-
This is JRPG at its core that hand-in-hand with Erotica, expect RPG! (pay attention to details)
Your "Rescuer":
*
Nun is highly recommended for first timer, learning game elements and attributes, also she's quite excellent btw.
*
Kunoichi is for those who want to slice things quickly at the cost of limited equipment options.
*
Royal Soldiers is your classic party line up, in fact you met the minimum attribute variety but you'll encounter them soon.
(Yep, you'll have different dialogue with different rescuer. Yes, there's unique dialogue according to circumstances)
[Farming Money]
Easiest way is to defeat
Pinatan but encounter rate is quite low, save scumming is recommended or just keep encountering enemy.
It drop "
Pina" and vary by types, at most it can be sold for 10k each.
Some NPC will give you hint, which area easier to encounter Pinatan.
"
Pinanum" type can be exchanged for
RARE materials at Rankouji Temple in Fuchi Village.
For simple farming, just put
Jane &
Wanda together. (honestly, the synergy works very well)
[Base Expansion]/[Renovation/Remodel]
Talk to
Tutuas at the base to start renovation.
After the Workshop event, you can expand/renovate other areas.
*
Workshop - Need Paula to create personalize equipment. Upgrade every craft in Workshop to Lv1, speak to Workshop Manager (this will unlock Mine Path to Mining Town Graag). Need Hilda & Najiko to progress event.
*
Farming Garden Field - Having Venaro Graunia makes thing easier.
*
Church/Magic Research Laboratory - Need Sonia, Silvie, and Yasumin to properly use the facility (you can build it without mentioned character but the only useful thing would be the books).
[Fame]
Increases either by completing requests (some can be lewd) or through lewd acts, easiest is by dancing.
Some NPCs won't talk to you unless your Fame is high enough.
*Memory Crystal Fragments is important, ask the cat at Lani mercenary office*
(Base on the numbers of player actions, "Fame" will change into "Disgrace")
[Companion]
~Things to note~
After clearing area related to event/request, things might've change. It is advised to return, you might get unexpected gifts.
Some contains unique dialogue, sometime serious and sometime funny.
[Titles]
I think the most difficult one and obscure is '
make Fie work a lot all at once'.
You need
ALL Companions recruited, including post-game characters.
Remove every
party member until you have one (I've only tried with Mary), then choose 'remove equipment' with
Fie.
Also, maybe you have trouble with Treasure Hint, see below.
[Hot Spring/Bath Event]
Conversation 21, After capturing Scorpio, can be seen after enough story progress.
Conversation 24, Synthesize Protection Shield in the workshop basement (Brown Right table, 2nd from the left).
Conversation 28, After Katrakut and Sedna joins/after clearing Great Lightning Warding Tower.
(post-game)
Conversation 31, Remodel Yasumin Prosthetic Arm in the workshop basement (Brown Right table, 1st from the left).
[Light Pink Leaves] (Material)
Fuchi Mountain Valley, west of Rinnyan house, Taoist Pond
(prepare before going here)
[Treasure Hint]
So far, only #3 that was tricky LMAO
In Valne Branch, inspect hay bales inside the barn, sleep & return the next day.
[Vanessa Spirit Sword]
[Cecilia, Hundred Lightning Tower]
* Eastern Fountainhead, east path, this will upgrade her Magic Fist and receive key item + you will be able to watch her conversation event in Hot Spring/Bath
* Storm Valley, Northeast, basement of Great Lightning Warding Tower
(post-game). Yes, the key item is necessary for this Tower.
[Jane Magical Whirlpool]
* Clear Fourth Fort, Talk to Jane at the base, this will upgrade her Magic Fist
* After clearing Great Lightning Warding Tower in Northeast of Storm Valley
(post-game), see Hot Spring/Bath Conversation 30 (Second from the left of 5th Line)
[Eastern Hidden Land]
Go to Fuchi Mountain Valley, up to Taoist Pond and exit to world map from west of Pond.
Select Enishi Village from the world map.
The requested item can be obtained at Fuchi Village restaurant after you work there at least once.
[Fairy Jungle]
Talk to Collector at Greenery. (House below Vert HQ)
The requested item
(Yin Yang clothes) can be purchased from merchant in Fuchi Village after Rinnyan joins or from Eastern Hidden Land.
You can go to Fairy Jungle after delivering the item.
Move around the map in the Jungle until event occurs twice.
Read the book at the base Magic Research Laboratory (2nd from the right).
Back to Jungle, go North to body of water near Two Glowing Mushrooms and Red Flowers.
*Welcome to Futanari Fairy Village*
(To view scene, Cecilia, Zoe, Sonia recruited)
[Geckorock of Graag Mining Town]
Lose at the beach battle show.
Talk to the man at the beach entrance.
Talk to Geckorock in the beach prison.
Talk to the same man when you return to Graag Mining Town.
Read the book at the base Magic Research Laboratory (2nd from the left)
You can now watch events and receive requests involving Geckorock.
[Lava Tunnel/Tentacle Nest] (you can unlock Lava Tunnel early)
I don't know how to trigger it, suddenly able to access Lava Tunnel and progressing when I return.
Clearing this tunnel requires you to travel a lot to advance the Events, I'll list it as best as I could:
[Okea Wall]
Talk to troubled NPC at East District of Trade City Okea.
Then talk to Wall Craftsman in North of Greenery.
[Port Town Milliato]
You can check Milliato condition early or prepare accordingly and swiftly clear Milliato event.
To reach to Milliato you can go from Small Fishing Village ferry (conditional) or through Storm Valley.
[Milk Witch]
Talk to old man in Mauhadak about Milk Witch
Go to Oasis on Piso Desert and talk to a girl near the stall
Dive into the 'hole' in Oasis water
[Druid Mercenary Request]
Prerequisite:
*
Eleanor, Stacy, Jio, Elchika, Hilda, Touju recruited (Hilda will get a skill, Touju event trigger)
*
Probably require
Eleanor to visit other
Bars too
* Eastern Hidden Land unlocked
* Work at Valne Branch Bar, at least twice (not sure whether Dancing at Kratovina plays a part or not, might as well)
* Talk to the man at the left table
* In Mauhadak, Clear the Bar Event, East of town
To Progress:
* Talk to Druid Mercenary Commander in Mauhadak.
* Go to Hiraga Workshop at East of Piso Desert.
* Read the book at the base Magic Research Laboratory (Rightmost).
* After an Event in Hiraga Workshop, go to Eastern Hidden Land, talk to the Kunoichi.
* Talk to both Adjutant & Druid Commander in Mauhadak.
[Mauhadak Underground Ruins/Deep World Layer]
[Post-Game]
To trigger it: (Otherwise, you'll get unique dialogue)
* All Companions Recruited
* Complete Base Renovations
* Visit your room at the base
* Talk to
Katrakut in Mioria Castle
(Probably, the last two companion level is determined by Mary level or average party level when completing Main scenario. In my case, both are Lv66 & 68)
[NG+]
After clearing Great Lightning Warding Tower, Talk to
Fannier, there's
Whirlpool in Water Dragon Palace.
Carry over: Items, materials, equipment, money
(Other than that,
EVERYTHING is reset. Yes,
level too)
/Compared to previous games, it's easier to level up. Stats parameter is more intense, few points will be a different of life and death, thus equipment is crucial.
