Forest of the Blue Skin R: AIGTOHPC (Comments and Suggestions)

No no, I want to post it as a 100% Full Save.
So I just post play_1.json in the thread?

For Kappas, you don't need to actually outwrestle them. It's much quicker and efficient to just dash/dodge past her initial charge then quickly smack her in the back to force her to the ground. Then beat her into submission while she's down. They do have a tendency to jump away if you're not quick enough though.

EDIT: What I'm more curious about is the gold coin the Kappa tosses in the river on normal defeats. Wonder if there's any way to grab that.

EDIT 2: And an entry for the Glitches section:

- You can access the rocky wilderness area early (as early as you can fast travel) by opening the map, pressing W to switch to the unexplored wilderness area then pressing the confirm button, which will ask you if you wish to fast travel. Select yes and confirm and you can fast travel to the Wilderness without having even explored it.

Is that....not how everyone is doing it?
I mean you gatta for the achievement/capture, so why not always fight them like that?

Huh, never noticed that.
Must be new.

"as early as you can fast travel" or in other words once you step outside your hut/inside the hut.
Banger speedrun glitch!

1. I have not been doing it that way at all and I realize this whole time it was just because my timing was ass. Damn.

2. I'm fairly sure that's a hint that you have to defeat her another way to get all the possible money from her. (i.e., defeat her with the capture method.)

3. Good to know, I will make sure to save this and add it when I can.

You really don't need to money farm in this game.
The achievements will give you all the money you would need and I still have money over after completing the forest AND buying every item in that shop there.
You can't even buy anything in the Wilderness.

I'm at least fairly sure that money will become more important as time goes on, there's just nothing that's been added as of yet.

It wasn't written down in the guide so I decided to post it here so that it makes it to the guide. The guide currently mentions only the strugglesnuggle way of downing the Kappa.

During my playtesting, I've noticed that capture defeating the Kappa grants three silver coins (+30 total), while combat defeating the Kappa grants two silver coins and the unobtainable gold coin )which should be +70 total but is instead +20 with an unobtainable +50). It may just not be implemented fully as of yet.

That much is true. But the OCD/completionists among us might still find this trivia interesting. The shopkeeper's bestiary entry also stipulates that her shop can be "accessed from anywhere" which sounds like we're going to have an expansion to available items further down the line.

Huh, never knew about that one either.
I always capture them and done.

I know that but I am talking about right now there being no point in grinding; especially since saves don't stay between versions.

Seems like the teleportation book brings us to an unmarked location, with an unmarked in the bestiary girl:



I'll be investigating whether it's possible to capture or otherwise interact with her.

It is either a bonus or a test stage.
A preview if you will if it's gonna be the next stage.
