i think i don't understand DEF in this game? Sometimes when i hit an enemy i just deal less damage for no reason for example i deal 55 damage to a simple goblin with a saber slash but sometimes i deal less damage to a skeleton. Another thing that confuses me the most is dealing half or less than half of my usual damage on an orc with a club or no weapon. Could someone explain what makes this happen? is it some hidden stat or did i just skip over an important explanation somewhere?
Def reduces damage by it's value (but usually it's adjusted in a range of -2 to 2, idk why, but i've checked DATA/EFFECTS/SKILL , idk why). Also, orcs have ~12 def and undead have a little lower than that, goblins have very little def (or no at all), you can check enemy stats (and skills multipliers) in the data folder.

Imagine my hype when I saw that one quest in RolePlay-S that sends you to collect boar skins, thinking there's some new, Gothic inspired animal skinning skill to be learned. Now imagine my disappointment upon realizing it's just a generic quest drop. :(

Just took it upon me to finally kill one of the hearts, if I leave the area and return do they respawn? Does anything change if you kill one or all of them?
Thought it would be cool if you managed to clean the infestation all the way to Sybaris and clean the city

No, it will respawn, I used to regularly farm them for loots, takes like 2 days to respawn iirc

Are there any injuries or other things that could lower my atk to the point of dealing half your normal damage? maybe it was just my mood buff dropping or some injury causing me to deal about half less than i normally do and im overthinking it

some traits are exclusive... once you take one you cannot take the other... for example you cannot take cannibal and be an acolyte... the two are exclusive... also if you take any of the personality traits you are locked into that playstyle... tough = warrior meek = mage and nympho = succubus... if you dont choose any of those you can play all playstyles EXCEPT the acolyte.. which is nympho exclusive

com = combat con = health,stamina, and sex stat... it influences how much sex damage you deal as a succubus or if other people are trying to rape you and you resist... scu is scouting and it increases your ability to hide both in mission and on the world map... weak increases the chance enemies will decide to rape you instead of killing you... the higher your weak stat the more likely they will attempt to rape you instead of murdering you(some enemies will murder you regardless and are unaffected) and if you attack them back they will be more likely to give up on raping you and attack you instead... weak is a stat meant for sex based characters... wis is the magic stat which governs magic damage and overall intelligence as well as your ability to lie and manipulate people... and sur is survival which helps you with survival by making more food items spawn on the map and by increasing your magic resist...

you cant change your traits without cheats... unless you rebirth which requires you have a child which allows you to rebirth as that child and keep your level and trait points and reset back to the beginning of the game... you also keep anything you have stored inside your bank...

the various abilities on the world map are based on your stats... wis and con both add to your ability to talk or persuade people... think charm vs seduction... scu is your ability to hide and observe.... and approach is just to approach them on the map so you can attack them and its your only option if you failed every other check...
Thank you, your response should be linked under the author post because all these information are not described in game, by the way how do you rebirth exactly? it is a option who appear at some point if you keep a human child for a long time?

Does anyone have tips for newbie like me, I died like 3 times by rats and hunger
What helped me in the early game was taking things really slow. try to sneak around and bait the enemies for a backstab using the throw ability a lot of the enemies in this game can be knocked out that way for free damage. If an enemy is not aggroed onto you you should be able to knock them out by hitting them in the back if they are able to be knocked out ofc.
companions are great to hire for some quests if you need a meatshield or firepower.
If you are unsure about a fight it's probably better to not take it or prepare some food and potions or getting gear that might help with the fight.
There should be a pitchfork in a chest in the sewers and that could help you a lot early on you should also find a shortsword in the sewers might be risky but it should be fine if you utilize what you have.
Resting at an inn is generally cheaper than food but you should always have some food in your inventory.
There is no shame in save scumming it is your rpg adventure after all you chose what you want to do and have fun with the game.
The lonarpg mirehaze wiki is a great source of info for most of the general stuff you would want ofc that is if you feel comfortable with spoiling yourself.

This game is mostly about knowledge, knowing where to go and what to do for quick progression, so it's kinda hard to give "general" tips. But if I'd have to condense it down to just one, it would be "respect your stamina". It's used for everything you do, including swinging your weapon and MISSING and I suspect this is what causes combat losses for most new players. You spam attack hit nothing run out of stamina and drop to the floor.

On the other hand, every time you use stamina you gain experience, so technically getting intentionally captured and stuck in a slavery rape loop could be a valid powerleveling strategy..

The combat in this game is complete and utter trash, braindead stunslocks, magic is so unbelievably bad that I honestly think the dev made it this bad as a troll move, way to many enemies that do to much damage and more. The worst part is that the sex isn't even good enough to make up for it since 90% of the time its either the same images or some other straight up disgusting variant.

This literally is not a counterargument for anything I said. This game uses nothing of the standard rpgmaker combat (which even though it is garbage as well is no where near as trash as this).
So you are reproching a game about his engine combat system?

Thank you, your response should be linked under the author post because all these information are not described in game, by the way how do you rebirth exactly? it is a option who appear at some point if you keep a human child for a long time?
in order to rebirth you need to have a humanoid baby(basically anything that isn't a monster) and then you either die or successfully escape the island... if you die you will rebirth with 20% less exp... if you escape you will rebirth with all of the exp you had when you left... you keep anything in your bank but lose everything else you were carrying on you... you can rebirth as a hybrid... being half deep one or half abomination... or a moot... these give you special abilities or stats... the deep one hybrid can become a sea witch after a quest which allows you to summon deep ones and have water magic... and is usually used on succubus runs because it maxes out your sexy stat and weakness while transformed making you really good at sex damage... and it gives you spells to cast (summon deep one and water magic) which succubus/nympho cant normally use... abomination hybrid is the best for warrior playstyle... but its the hardest one to unlock as you have to sell a bunch of abomination babies to elise... after you have the baby you just need to die or escape while the baby is still alive...

one thing to be careful of... is if you do become a hybrid using your monster abilities in town or around other humans(like if you are on a quest with them or have them as companions) will cause npcs to either want to rape you (as a sea witch) or kill you (as an abomination)... so avoid using monster abilities in town as humans dont like monsters very much...

on the plus side... if you do become a sea witch... it is VERY easy to escape as a sea witch.. the transformation into sea witch form immediately breaks all shackles on you... and you can use magic with no equipment at all... so you will always have an ability to fight.. even if your locked up with no items you can still call your deep ones and blast enemies with water...still costs stamina though.. and just be sure to transform back into human before entering any towns/camps...

in case you couldn't tell... deep one lona is my favorite... it just has wayy too many benefits IMO... ability to break shackles instantly, can fight even without gear,complete immunity to STD's in fish form... and stds heal over time like any other injury in human form.. so many benefits to being a deep one and the only downside is you cant be in your sea witch form in public...

What do you want the game system to be ? Like turn based combat ? Nothing inovative

You're likely hitting something while Lona is injured. You know that body display with yellow and sometimes red regions? Each injury stack reduces Lona's attack power. So red potions and certain herbs that cure injury are important to carry around to heal those off mid-combat. The reason for this is to prevent Lona from just facetank defeating everything by having 15-16 DEF herself since very few enemies deal high hp damage, most actual danger coming from Stamina damage. So without the injury system it would be really easy to only carry blue potions and be invincible since hp healing is largely redundant in comparison. Injuries also reduce Lona's DEF and Speed...but do note that enemies can also become injured and suffer the same stat penalties so it's a 2-way street.

The only way to prevent injury is to be a god at timing the Dodge skill. If you equip Lona high DEF, she'll be able to take a lot more damage but over time she'll accrue injuries from getting hit a lot. It's a lot easier than dodging, but comes with injury risk downsides to make it a tradeoff.

You've been browsing this thread for close to a MONTH (not to mention you visited and played when the game was still 0.3 and 0.4 some 5 YEARS ago) and only now do you realize the game is hard and not up to your taste ? Git gud mate and stop trolling
