alternatively instead of playing on crisis, the difficulty designed for second play throughs to give the allusion of an actual RPG game with challenge and meaningful mechanics once the novelty of porn is over go... play an actual rpg. emulate skies of arcadia or something. smh.
Or you can just use 2 brain cells and in-game systems and mechanics - you know, like in every other RPG.
Celesphonia won't win Game Awards for the best RPG but for a hentai game it's pretty good - to the point that ignoring RPG aspects and focusing on just porn seems like a waste. Unlike many porn games - there's actually a pretty good "game part" in this game.

I swear, people are going to flip when Kagura will release Pray Game where you have to do story bits, quests and puzzles to unlock skills. Thankfully, there's "game journalist" difficulty so you don't have to bother with playing the game part in your hentai game ;)
Oh wait, you have to do it either way, because it's the only way to unlock True End and DLC content...

tentacles have too much HP
Tentacles resist physical damage. They die to magic rather fast. They are good for farming early because they often alone and they spend half the fight trying to grope Celesphonia instead actually fighting...

Its at chapter 4, a quest that is without any stars, can be obtained from the photoclub after you get "strange feeling" when go to school.
The 1st step is to talk with the girl in the book (that purify souls) and ask her about it (there will be an option, that you probably missed), after that you will start noticing poles in the school, I highly reccomend you to unequip anything that resist hypnosis and get hypnotysed to 100, then watch all 3 events that only available if you have high enough hypnosis status (gym, classroom, art class). If you lose to the boss of the school, then you unlock new scene if you go to the male bathroom on 3f.
Yeah, thanks! I ended up figuring it out and getting the scenes a bit earlier. I guess I just didn't visit the school enough and didn't get the "strange feeling" until pretty late, the dungeon was super easy with all the levels I had. Thanks for the thorough advice though!

What's the difference between Reflective Bulwark IV and Beta? They seem to have the exact same effect aside (not playing on crisis) from requiring different materials to make

Where do I find the beginner magic guide and the chaosbringer weapon?
The magic guide is behind a secret boss in I think the first dungeon in the room with all the traps. Easiest if you have the exploration skill equipped.

Chaosbringer is something you can only craft if you've unlocked corruption-based crafting.

Guys who advices people to play on Crysis from the start, are you masochists or just are in love with mindless grind? I followed your advice and the first dungeon is nearly unbeatable, lol. This difficulty literally raises monsters' HP by 250% compared to normal, making battles drag out, and the first boss is still unbeatable even after I grinded to Level 7 and enhanced my clothes to get 900 HP in total. I think I'll have a chance at Level 8 (which requires even more grinding) and after getting fire weapon. Maybe I'm missing something? I still don't know what to do with "material" type items, as Synthesis uses Souls and money anyway. I think to restart on a lower difficulty, which also can be lowered for less annoying grind. Well, unless like in some games only the first dungeon is hard on the highest difficulty and after that things become duable.
No, your take on Crisis is correct, the first dungeon has a very steep curve, you start out with extremely limited tools to fight even mobs in the first room, and you need about level 8 and either fire or corruption engram to fight the boss effectively.

Material type items are used in synthesis, it opens up in chapter 2 (I think) when the photo club's advisor shows up.

Does anyone know what the Store Coupon is for? I notice it can be sold at a decent price but it also says it's redeemable, just not where.

Only relevant difference is on chaos difficulty, where IV requires MP to use and Beta only works on enemies you'd be able to instantly defeat by walking into them. Basically Beta is what you make on chaos while IV is for everything else.

You need to actually think and strategize. Even your early choices matter a lot. You can beat the dungeon at about level 6 but it takes a bit of luck (if you picked +20 MP at the start it's not so bad) You want to get the healing Engram first because it makes you purify souls more efficiently, then get the fire Engram in order to burn the boss, and the nuclear Engram for the adds. You shouldn't *need* to craft anything. Also keep in mind certain stats and weaknesses change based on your state of undress. Once your clothes are torn the scorpion enemies take extra damage from your fire spells making it possible to one-shot them much earlier on.

It also helps a ton to buy the gym uniform early and take that class every day for +1 agility, and buy the fierce headband too (both are from the station fitness store) so you can make sure you go first. You also always get a surprise round if you attack something from behind, and if you fail to do so you can hit retreat and try again, the free round is important.

I just finished a Low Lust Crisis playthrough at 12 in-game hours but probably around 20 including save scumming. No regrets. CH 5 boss was the most fun with the mechanics I had to use. I played the higher difficulty to be forced to use other rpg mechanics and grind. You can max out corruption and use lucky card to trivialize the combat and grinding. Even in Crisis. Just consume all your souls directly from the bag and lose battles until you unlock corruption gear.
Getting corruption kind of defeats the purpose of a low-lust playthrough though. Isn't getting the hero to the end unblemished the whole point?

For the bathhouse monster quest where you need to fish him up, is there any point in failing it? Are there more scenes?

Alright, I played the entire thing in crisis mode, and finished with only 1/100 corruption. I beat the true Appolion after a 15 minute battle, anything left in this game?

100 corruption is a game over thought.

The "corruption" in this game isn't morale degradation but erosion of the soul. The stat that you refer to called "lust" in this game.

Hmm, it looks like there's room for 3 spots. Ugh, I guess I could grind out SL for the hint unlocker.
Third scene is returning again to the men side of the bath willingly after defeating monster (on high enough lust).
