The only purpose the collar seems to serve is as a get out of jail free card for the unprepared or an obnoxious limitation on how much you can get done in one day, and yes it is obnoxious because there is no time limit unless you count Alicia's brainwashing which I don't because the player controls her so you are never in any danger...
Just in case this might create a misunderstanding for new players reading this: Going over the corruption limit triggers the Soul-Break Ending / Game Over unless you are playing on a difficulty below Normal. Investing corruption into mental changes as Alicia is the main way for staying below the limit.

Which is a non issue if you never have to take the collar off.

I ran into a bug with the Stolen Foods quest. The quest tells me to talk to Julian (after finding the secret food storage), all the guides tell me to talk to Julian, but when I do talk to him, the MC just says "(I gotta talk to the worshipper the guards captured)" and won't let me turn in the quest.
Then talk to the worshipper, man.

He’s in the same building as Julian, incarcerated two floors down, through the east-side gate of the ground floor

mac problem what do i do
The following is what a different mac user who said he had the problem did to fix it

But all I had to do then was move the game outside of the "star-knightess-aura-macos" folder that it was unzipped into, and it then opened and worked with no problems.

I'm late to the party.
What happen to the guide? Last time I check, it was for v0.43

Playing blind is a-okay but having a guide will make better experience.

I have old guides from 0.43 , but you must consider that they are slightly outdated

The guide got removed for being outdated, because with the constant changes and rebalances, it was too much work for the creator to keep up with the constant updates. It might come back later once 1.0 is out.

Depends on whether you want NG+ or not. On nightmare non-NG+ I would say with 99% certainty that it is impossible to do so. On NG+ it might be possible, but I didn't manage it. The main problem is Belphegor and Beelzebub (and likely Asmodeus as well) boss battles and their 100 day limit. It is possible to beat either without SK-ing, Beelzebub being the harder one to pull of, but I didn't quite manage to fit both in the same playthrough. And since I was SK-ing one of them and 100 days mark usually passed by that point I was also SK-ing Asmodeus every time, so Idk how difficult he is to non-SK.
The linked guide above is for normal difficulty. Which is significantly easier to try no-SK run with, I can easily believe it to be possible there. There was another guide for nightmare no-NG+ at some point, but it was made pre slime feeding nerf and was also using SK liberally.

If someone manages to write a guide for max score no-SK nightmare difficulty run, I would also be interested to check how it can be done.

My fear turned into reality~
Had feeling the guide will be updated very slowly due to many contents (including changes and rebalances), but giving up---

Though, I feel for 'em. So far, thanks to the guide, I'm able to enjoying the game (immersively).

(Hey, nothing's wrong playing blind)

Hey, what is this Entertainment Den exactly and where is it? the changelog is a bit vague on how to access that content.

It's possible there's other ways to get access, but it unlocks after you progress the reverse summoning ritual quest to the point where you can get Desmond a soul contract. It's on the road between Roland and the church in a tower looking building.

It seems like there's someone above who did it since they claimed the game was too easy, by the way, what's SK means? not so familiar with the lingo

i encountered a bug in the money domain. I have three refugees left to save, the two at the gladiator combat area and the guy in the black jack area. I got the blackjack guy to zero debt and i beat the two adventurers. Their text indicated i freed them, but the count is still at 7 out of ten.

oh and a general question are all the crystals in the cg room available in the current build or is that what's going to be in the final build of the game
