So I'm trying to complete Felicity, and unless there's something I'm not seeing, I'm pretty much going to have to go all in on despair and fear to train her enough to do stuff. I can't for example keep the fiend alive long enough if I don't force her to take care of him with magic, and if I do that she loses her virginity forcefully, causing her to crater to 3-4 or even 5 despair. If I disregard the health of the fiend, if it dies over and over I may not have enough time to get it to leviathan so she can max xenophily before submitting her.
Does anyone have suggestions for pulling Felicity back from five despair and fear? Or is there another way that can pull her back from the fear/despair cycle caused by the shitty rules required on day one?
I recently completed the quest.
First thing I did is use fear and despair (however I tried despair to not go higher than 3) to
tame her and reduce spoil, mainly by punishing her with flagellation once per day (only the deserved level of punishment to avoid additional despair), using taming clothes and
putting her in place. Then once the taming is high, I used some shaming to reduce arrogance, but not too much cause I don't want the despair to get too high.
I did keep her in the bed throughout the whole thing (haven't used dungeon or floor) as it kept her stronger and more cooperative.
You might consider doing the piercing and tattoes at this stage, as at this point we don't care about her mood that much, however it is smart to at least attempt to keep her from being depressed using clothes and gifts, and encouragement (although you might want to save some encouragement for the training stage).
Basically, I wanted high fear, but low despair,
I used arena fights to reduce despair also.
Once she is tamed enough there is a point where you can pretty much stabilize her, keeping the mood high (pony gift, sundress, massage at the Salon, enforce only required tasks, etc.)
When she is tamed (at this point her obediance might be around -4 to 0) and her mood is okay, I used school/tutor training to raise habit, because personal training would more likely result into her not cooperating.
As soon as she gets the D-, I instantly give her Philtre potion to raise her devotion.
I
cast Sentantia on her from time to time if I need to reward her with Garden or Cage (which can give nice benifits if used right, might reduce fear and raise). But you must be careful with Sentantia, cause I believe each cast reduces awareness.
I also use
Faeries Pollen drug on her once per 3-5 days, as I do not want her to get addicted, but the drug itself is quite useful.
Also
Adverto Servili cast I used once she was tamed a bit and in a good mood.
Although I want to remove fear sooner than later to begin passive daily growth of devotion,
you need to raise some devotion manually before removing fear, otherwise she might get disobedient and arrogant again (lets say if her devotion is just 1 and her fear is 0, I'm pretty sure she can go ballistic on you). You can raise devotion by rewarding her with erotic rewards.
From this point it should be easy to get it all complete.
Threesomes - to make her bi-sexual.
Exibitionism - to make her exibitionist.
Perverted shit (xenophilia) - to make her perverted.
Fiend milking - to make her nympho.
I had some troubles winning some pony races, but ALL were winnable, if she is S+ at pony and athletism (still some were really hard to figure out).
You must consider that you need to win 7 pony races, which means ideally that you have to have her trained to S+ pony and athletism by day ~40-50 (you may try having B+ or A+, but if I remember correctly, I had no luck there), which in turn means that it would be ideal to get her tamed by around that time.
I induced fertility around day 100, if I'd plan to give her away pregnant at day 115-120.
I did
switch the fiend every time it died, cause she only starts milking it without problems once she is tamed and devoted. I had plenty of time to raise to Leviathan, because closer to the end I had to 24/7 have her milking the fiend (and it grows fast then), because I needed to get her to become a nymphomaniac.
Things do go wrong randomly if you forget to maintain little details along the way, but after few trials and errors it doesn't seem that hard to complete this quest.
