I'm on my 2nd playthrough and I just broke Lalita's hold trap lever. Thank you for the belly-laugh!

Also... Alice vs Gravedigger Maid in Stebbing Arena... ouch. I mean... on the one hand... having to dig into your inventory to survive and win is something that RPGM game combat rarely require unless specifically hinted at and enhances gameplay, if not being an explicit prerequisite... on the other hand... Alice not having any Theurgy that inflicts Charm... or at minimum Confusion? That inflicts Confusion on me :geek:

The reason I brought cheaters up was acknowledging the existence of this demographic in the community, and thinking about how to get them to play my game gave me ideas for recording and restoring gameplay conditions to allow for replaying a well-planned, tweaked, executed and GREAT fucking fight that MC and party will eventually level up past the point where it would be a challenge. I even mentioned adding exclusive content that only cheaters could get. The only criticisms of cheaters was irresponsibly releasing potentially game-breaking mods and mod players or cheaters reporting bugs to devs as if they were bugs present in an official release.
There's always going to be independent Dev appreciation for anyone who sees playing their games as a worthwhile use of their time. Unless they just hate the idea of making compelling games.... but hey, some people DO just wanna hate their own life... lol

Yeah, some of those match-ups are brutal, but the point is that they're the exact same for everybody. Alice is actually one I skipped for my personal playthrough (since you don't need to do everyone in order to get the trophy; it's just bonus EXP if you do).
Besides, Alice is about making bad things go away, not making bad things happen. If Alice inflicted Charm on someone, they'd be sad/angry/confused when it wore off, and that'd make Alice sad.

Hello,


I have 2 questions.
1. How can you hire Iris? My guess is that it should be done before meeting Archibald, since I can't access his manor anymore

2. What's the story about the ravenswood manor? I found the safe room, the control center, placed the red orb. I saw a post about a second red orb. I see some doors that won't open, and can't access the East wing. The shadow is way too fast. I can't always concede, making this level very hard to play. I'm not sure what to do to progress in this task.

Others asked about that as well, the posts should be on the previous page or two.
tl;dr, you can recruit her before the end of the segment, but it's more difficult. Otherwise, give up stuff until Archibald isn't an outright enemy (or do a bunch of stuff over the course of the whole game) and you can recruit her at any time.

There are two red orbs, both are near the first safe room you reach (the music will change and Willow will be standing in the room so you know it's a safe room). I think I made it so only one is strictly necessary, but then you need to find two blue orbs in the east wing, take them back to the control room, find the purple orb, slot that in, and then reaching the Master bedroom ends the segment.

If you don't already have it on, turning Always Sprint on in the options will make it so you move at the same speed as the shadow (otherwise you'd have to hold down the Sprint key).
Switching your party around so you're using Maids with high Agility and giving them equipment to increase it further will also make it easier to Concede and get away.

So I went through all the tips I read from this thread, not just hreserves, and this is what I figured out.

1: You'll need to complete the main quest for recruiting Lalinita before attempting trophy 19
2: You interact with the 4 blue souls 4 times each (I did it with both options twice, probably doesn't matter) and the fourth time they say a little extra, which concludes your interactions with each soul.
3: You interact with the main 2 souls, doing each lewd interaction once, then clicking the cancel option on the side.
4: You chase the wandering chest last until the trophy pops up. All these things without leaving the mind maze until complete.
Honestly, the tip hreserves gave was a dead giveaway all along, I just was looking at it wrong for a while.

I am currently looking for the fourth druid in the dense wild but not finding anything, any hints on where in the dense wilds it is because I swear I interacted with every wall, and every plant
Edit: Never mind finally found it

You might have to be more specific than that, because there's three points where that can happen.

Generally speaking, you go into the caves nearby and go around those rocks, moving generally left-ward and leaving the caves at another point.
And remember to push the boulders off the path when you go back up to the main path; that's how you unlock fast travel for the region.

I found one spider in Beckett's Estate garden in the bottom right.

I only have 21 affection quests after I'm done with Evdokia's gate. that was all, right?

I thought I was rich with 5000+ but the new investments drains me, and I don't even know how much silcrow for trophy 32.

Bug report : Vicky's affection quest bug where she said that I need to finish with Archibald first when I had already done it. The star at Go To Evdokia of A Long Time Coming quest was never checked, but I got trophy 33, went to the desert and the cult section just fine, or it might be because I went to the south desert and meet Emmerich before going to the cult section.

Edit: I actually got trophy 33 without having to offer anything Big Dick is truly op WTF.

Each Maid only has there first quest implemented right now, so yeah, that sounds right.

Yup, I had someone else call that out as well. It's fixed for v0.20.
It only triggers if you get the trophy before doing her quest. It's checking a switch, but there are missing conditionals to check if the event was already completed. I didn't know which conditionals were missing until it got worked out after v0.19 released into early access.
Though for better or worse, all you're missing out on is more futa content.

i feel my task missions is bugged... any chance to fix my save?
Click to expand...
I'm happy to help, but two things first.
1 - I need your global.rmmzsave file as well. I can't get your save to load with what I have.
2 - It'd go a long way to finding and fixing the problem if you tell me why you think it's bugged. I may not be able to tell just by looking and without knowing what you're trying to do next. It's okay if you don't remember everything, but even little details can be a huge help.

NotthingMuch said:
As long as it was fixed, I'm happy regardless of when it comes out. Amazing update as always.

Also, are there just 3 holds in the south desert wilds map?
Click to expand...
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Yup, just the three. There's something to find in each map, but in the northeast and southeast maps, it's just the camps and the path that connects the two.

Is there a way to recruit the maid that is by herself in the swamp estate? Or should I just break the headstone?
Click to expand...
Assuming you mean the lone Maid at the Beauregard Estate in the east swamps, no, you can't recruit her.
Breaking the headstone is entirely up to you, but there are consequences regardless of if you do or don't. The same is true for all the headstones you can make that choice on.

If you mean the blue-haired Maid you run into on the east swamps region map that eventually goes to the Edgerton Estate in the north swamps, then what NotthingMuch said.

thx for taking the time fellah

Well, I have good news and bad news.
The bad news is that I found more issues than just with your Task List and I have no idea how they happened, except for one instance of missing Task List update commands. Those things most likely happened because you moved switches and/or variables you shouldn't have, but since I can't find the exact cause, I can't be sure. Even bugfix features I tried to use weren't working for you for reasons I don't understand, which isn't great for a few reasons.

The good news is that there's nothing stopping you from continuing on, I've fixed your Task List, and have attached a fixed save.
And if you need the reminder and the Task List isn't helping; your next step is to go to the Ambrose Theatre.
