I can't resolve myself to play ToT 7th floor.. I've waited impatiently for so long that I now fear that it may not be as good as I hoped.
What if it's bad? What if it's bugged? What if it's good but too short and let me even more frustrated and waiting for Swan and Crow part 2 for years?
That update has me filled with existential dread!
Just came back to that game myself yesterday and discovered I hadn't even tried floor 6 yet. (I loved Lady Cobra so much I kinda stopped playing after reaching the end of her slavery route last time...
), so I'm just discovering floor 6 and I hope there is a serious submission path to Swan as I really like her! (far more than Karen, who, except for Khulan, is the least attractive domme in the tower by my tastes - any decent strategies to beat her by the way? You just gotta farm frost potions from Eliza, max your permanent DEF and spam 'guard' and 'grab block' in battles against her so you win wagers or is there a better strategy? She seems unbeatable in the first couple of fights and it doesn't help that the game thread is dead...)
I've also vaguely heard from the closed ToT thread that this update has over 100k words and that Kaori, the mistress of the 7th floor, is findom-focused like Cobra, so even though I haven't reached it yet I think it will be at least a good update if not a great one, as I found the writing for the scenes in which Cobra progressively breaks MC, combined with her level/hp/stats draining mechanics and how losing to her was essentially an exponential function into enslavement, (as you got significantly weaker and less likely to be able to ever beat her with every subsequent loss, at least until she agrees to return levels and stats to you...), to be one of the most immersive and hot submissive experiences in the game!
I was never a huge ToT fan, but in general I think Bo Wei is at his best when doing findom combined with humiliation, mind breaking and psychological domination, (other games like "Always in debt" and even "Tiffany's trap" delved a bit into these fetishes too) so at least from my perspective I think floor 7 is a pretty exciting prospect!
You can save edit if that helps against LB.
Just some extra save editing tips for people that hate grinding and wanna try the game: (my longest save is over 18 hours, and I'm not even on floor 7
, so yeah, it can be a long game, especially if you submit to more than one mistress and want to see all their erotic content...)
1. Use this
tool and unpack with it the file game.rgss3a inside your ToT folder - you will be able to extract with it tons of useful things like the Item codes list, Weapon codes, Armours etc.
2. When you use the
You must be registered to see the links
, you can upload both your latest save from the ToT game folder
and the items list you extracted in step 1, and then the save editor website will display your inventory with correct names for every item, instead of just codes and a counter as it did before, so you'll be able to reliably add any quantity of any consumable in your inventory - a bunch of lava potions and frost potions, which permanently increase your attack and defense respectively, should help you progress quite fast through any of the lower floors.
3. In terms of actual stats edits, I found that no matter how much you try to edit your level, experience points, attack or defense, none of those edits are recognized by the game. (if it worked for anybody else, feel free to share what you did) Inventory edits and gold edits were the only ones that worked for me.
4. You could technically also give yourself the keys to higher floors in the save editor (as the keys are inventory items too) without defeating the domme on the previous floor in-game, but I haven't tried it, it might break the game and goddess help you if you show up on Karen's doorstep as a level 1 char! (she's OP af - now I finally understand how every store manager must feel if they have to deal with a ruthless uncompromising "Karen"!
)
I actually only went through this process to give my char a
Silver Shark Hide to craft that damn Latex Suit for Lilly and see the end of the submissive path with her (hadn't beaten her at S rank yet at that point), but I figured that adding lava and frost potions in the editor should save many players from a lot of grinding level 3 fights against both Scarlett and Eliza!
(as beating them on s rank at level 3 is the only way to get a crucial ingredient for those potions) Eliza's level 3 fights especially can take a long time because her strategy forces you to fight defensively to avoid her graple moves, stuns and water attacks...
It's the QTE that is difficult for me. There's an option to make the QTE result randomly fail or succeed but my interest is waning already after several tries.
The QTE possitively kills me, because the 'down' arrow on my laptop is a bit broke and semi-unresponsive... That's fine for some fights where you can just constantly spam 'grab block', but it can still be quite irritating... Does anyone know of any way to remap QTEs to WASD or something of the sort? Would be really helpful honestly.
Also, do any of you know how to start Jessica's submissive route? I found her personal chambers, lost to her about 11-12 times and also beat her once, but nothing's happening to advance the plot with her. I also can't interact with her toilet or any of the objects in her room without MC saying 'No, I mustn't!' or something of the sort at the end, and I can't find any useful information on the closed thread as a lot of people either mildly disliked or outright hated her - has anyone here tried her route before and, if so, how do you start it?
