RC's COMPREHENSIVE MINI-GUIDE: TALA
Like yours truly many of us became fans of Tala when we got to see hints of 'the other side of her' during episodes like 'The Balance', 'Grudge Match', and of course 'The Great Brain Robbery'. Lucky for us Sunset Riders7 and Gunsmoke Game have taken it upon themselves to make the implicit explicit for our viewing pleasure. So let's take a look, or several, at DC's sexy sorceress.
Tala's Workshop is available from the beginning of the game.
Tala interacts with you personally and her her workshop can be upgraded to provide the game's only Trinkets Shop at level 2 and Summoning at level 3.
ITEM SHOP
The shop provides three items:
the Hidden Amulet reduces threat by 10% (threat generated or threat level undetermined. Effect null as Threat mechanic hasn't been implemented)
the Favored Coin increases mission success chance by 10% (tested, confirmed. Raises success change significantly) MUST HAVE.
the Magic Collar unlocks Collar scenes for heroines, villains, henchwomen and others.
SUMMONING
Summoning adds unique character quests and interactions to the game. Currently that includes Raven and Superwoman.
Raven is a heroine confined to her room similar to the Lexcorp Cells. (essentially a heroine without Glamour Slam or Meta-Bordello content)
Superwoman is a complete Henchwoman with scenes including Rikers Imprisonment and the Yacht Party (further testing pending to clarify how many of the earlier Henchwoman related scenes Superwoman has content for)
Because Tala's Workshop adds so many options and variety for game content and her Items significantly reduce grind early I absolutely recommend upgrading this building to max early. Upgrading Tala's workshop requires 3 days per level.
TALK:
Talk 1 is an introduction.
Talk 2 unlocks Tala's first mission, a Cadmus Heist. (this unlocks Magic Collar once the Shop is upgraded to lvl 2)
Talk 3 unlocks Tala as a villain that can be sent out on Heists and Capture missions. Tala is not a Henchwoman, she cannot Rampage, nor can she be Posted to any Defenses
By the time of your 4th conversation Tala is done with Talking and can entertain you.
ENTERTAINMENT
Tala will satisfy your sexual cravings herself. Unlike most (nearly all) of the women in the game Tala is submissive, devoted, and enthusiastic, making her sex scenes very distinctive. Her scenes follow a basic forumula: an introducion - where Tala acknowledges your request and prepares to perform. The Scene - where Tala engages you. These are the stills, half animations and full animations that will appear (without text) in your Lexcorp Lab's Vault. And the post-entertainment scene (or 'Post') where Tala and Lex (and others) have their last words and engagements before the scene ends, typically sending Lex back to the City Map.
The first time you click Dance you'll read a unique introductory conversation.
Subsequent Dances are the same performance and introductory text.
After 2 dances (6 visits at the earliest) Tala will have the option to strip. This unlocks Tala's costume menu.
Unlike literally every other character in the game, if you order Tala to strip when she is already naked she will dress up in her default dress and then strip.
After your eighth visit or making Tala strip twice (or unlocking her second striping dialogue and her nude striping dialogue - testing required to identify trigger) Tala will introduce her second costume: her Cadmus business suit. Tala's suit adds variety to all her previous and future Shop interactions except for Stripping, which instead becomes Tala's unique Suit strip with unique introduction and closing conversations.
After 2 strips Tala will unlock the blowjob option. As ever there is one introductory conversation, blowjob, and then post conversation and then a different conversation, blowjob and post that becomes the standard.
After two blowjobs Tala will give you the option mid blowjob to Just Cum or Stand Up. Stand Up branches the blowjob into climaxing On Her Face or On Her Chest. Each option has a different post-bj conversation.
After 2 blowjobs Tala will unlock the option for Sex. This scene is compatible with all her outfits. As usual, Sex 1 for the introduction and Sex 2 becomes the default for repeat vistis.
After 2 sex sessions Tala will unlock Anal. This scene is ANIMATED (woohoo!) Anal 1 for intro, Anal 2 becomes default.
After Anal Tala's SECRET scene becomes available. (triger needs testing). This is a one-time only scene and is linked to her costume so make sure she's dressed exactly the way you want her before you engage her. (SPOILER-trigger by clicking levitating Tala-SPOILER)
SPECIAL TRIGGERS
After having captured your first heroine (meaning your 2nd total, starting heroines don't count) Gorilla Grodd will appear in Tala's Workshop. It is currently unclear if this scene is needed to trigger future scenes or if they will occur regardless of appearance.
You can delay the trigger for this scene by not capturing a 2nd heroine, meaning you can make Tala your total sex-fiend well before meeting Grodd.
You can also have Tala in her suit or naked for Grodd's appearance, although unlike similar scenes Grodd has no reactions to Tala's wardrobe.
Tala's first Cadmus mission is not needed to unlock her Cadmus suit (perhaps it should be?). Completing the mission unlocks the Magic Leash for purchase in her shop (Confirmed) (Skipable)
BUGS & ERRORS
Tala has several typos and spelling mistakes unrelated to phonetics mimicking her accent in speech, most noticably the use of 'he' instead of 'she' during her leash scenes.
Blowjob - Cum on face. Despite the description to the effect, Tala does not keep her mouth open during ejaculation during the scene. Her mouth opens and closes again within a second of the trigger. This is in contrast to the textless animation in the vault where players can see her get facialed and her tongue is coated in semen before she closes her mouth to swallow.
Despite appearing in previous versions, Tala's sprite does not appear in post blowjob conversations if you chose to Just Stand Up. (No combination of costumes is fixing this. Will test further.)
Vault scenes blowjob does not present the option to view the animation with Tala's suit.
