Has anyone cleared EXPERT MODE without any game+ bonuses? How? Would love to see a guide on this.
Recently revisited the game to try doing expert mode without any bonuses.
Escorts are important early. You do want to satisfy the customer desires too. I even bought cheap harpy and werewolf for 1 time virgin use against those who wanted Avian/Beast/Sensitive/SmallBreast, etc, and sold them immediately after. Profit from the virgin status, no need for heals, and cheap to buy. Once you get far enough (like maybe passed Kraken?), just focus purely on satisfying customers, escorts will be worthless compared. Remember Rich Men priorities. They have the money. Satisfy them, fk the other customers.
I think once I got a Lamia, she and Kraken basically hard-carried me. Angel rockets your cash alot too. Honestly, after Angel, you've basically won, even if you have couple weeks remaining. I bought Queen Naga because she is my queen, not because she was necessary to win.
I think early rare buys aren't worth it? I only started getting rares after Dark Fairy, Kraken, Jelly Princess, Angel, Queen Naga
Also, I never took an item from Milia, I did her route. So it probably coulda been easier had i accepted some items from her instead.
