RPGM Star Knightess Aura [v0.49.0] [aura-dev]

[smkey21]

I saw mention that Demon General's are weaker before day 100, however it didn't appear to me that they are easier when attempting arwin around day 40~. Also, without looking at the old guide; how does one figure out that Tailwind removes the 'blind/fog' effect? It's not written in the ability description nor have I spotted any in game text pointing to that fact; unless I have skimmed it/missed it.

The wiki seems to be incomplete, is there Reading Proficiency II/III?

The festival of greed isn't one of the fights that has a timer. It's just the first time that you really need to take advantage of using combat buffs and having an overall battle plan. It's the 'easy' demon general fight.

There's a skill book for reading proficiency II, but no rank III.

The fact that Tailwind clears fog is explicitly mentioned at the start of the quest in the village with poisoned water; I can’t remember if it’s the Wolf hunter (house in northwest corner of the village) or John (standing at the entrance of the village) that tells Aura

While the difficulty is not on a timer, the outcomes are (specifically, what you get from the escaped/rescued maid). For the best "Good" outcome, you need to begin FoG by Day 19. Or at least, this was the case a few versions back.

I would agree that my phrasing wasn't great for clarity, but it felt adequate for the situation. I was replying to somebody who was more or less asking if the festival of greed fight had a difficulty change at day 100. Its difficulty is static, but does still manage to trip up quite a few people. I figured, considering they were on day 40, mentioning that a maid dyes her hair and has some dialogue changes or that there's an NPC who rewards you if you beat the festival early enough would be needlessly complicating my reply.

There is a Reading Proficiency II, there isn't a III (at least yet). You get it from reading a book with it's name though I can't remember if it's in Nephlune's bookshop, the Wrath's Fortress, or the school books.

This book is not from any bookshop. It's given to Aura by people who were saved from demon worshippers of Nephlune. So after Aura releases them from cage she should visit them at the camp and that's how you get this book

I am confused by how to activate the Ugliness Generator after removing the Indecency Drain Generator. I am following the

, in day 34 and 35.
From what I see, it's all done at once, but the guide has it as 2 steps.

I am confused by how to "Remove the Indecency Happiness Drain Generator" from the guide. Looks like I just activated the Ugliness Generator when I interacted with it, but in the 0.4 lewd guide, it's 2 steps in day 34 and 35.

The guide is quite old, and I *think* the dev changed it a while back so that changing it is single step instead of the 2 it used to be.

Might need to go through some changelogs to confirm, but that's probably it.

That makes sense thanks. Should I just end the day and skip or would that mess up the run?
Are there known changes I should watch out for when following the guide? Other than the occasional willpower not being the same as the guide.

It's very confusing to get all the pink scenes because the order and such. It feels impossible without the guide.

I'd suggest not trying for every pink scene. It's not needed to max out lewdness and you can check out the pink version of a scene even if you only get the normal version of it. There's also not a "correct order" to see scenes. There are many scenes with minor differences depending on what other scenes you have encountered first.

As for what to watch out for... the guide you found is pretty old. Just from a balancing perspective, the biggest things that have changed are that the pub job was reworked, and there was at least one auto-corrupt trigger added to an orb since the release. There are also months of development that include plenty of new debuffs from mental changes that have been added that will likely alter the later parts of the run significantly.

Plenty of ways to increase MATK, but if you don't want Belphegor to push you out you gotta enter the domains and close out all of those thingies.

The thing you're probably missing is that you gotta give a few Pyromantium to the shopkeeper to make bombs, then the next day one guy in a house is not in his bed hurt but working in the quarry instead, which allows you to close out the last magical thingy.

You're simply missing some mental change, post your save and someone might take a look. Or just go through the room and literally click on every tile until you figure out what it is you've missed.

Not just every tile you *think* can be clicked, click every damn tile.

yea there was somethin in the mental room. i did not know i could swap positions for one of the relationships in said room. for belphegor yea i was missing that one domain. used the star knightess and kicked his ass. thanks mate.

It's not nearly as hard to get all the pink scenes as the guide makes it out to be, as more passives have been added and all that. Used to be following the guide you had 1 day where you were at max corruption and if you hadn't done everything up to that point perfectly, you were basically screwed. The big thing the guide does wrong is it delays a lot to get you to the "start day at 0 willpower" masturbation events, which are definitely not worth the effort.

If you start a NG+ with extra stats and skills, you can proceed through Roya significantly faster than what the guide suggests. Only thing I'd use the guide for is the order of the mental changes up until you get to the 2nd room, as otherwise you might run into a situation where you're waiting for a real world event to unlock stuff before you're able to make more mental changes.

Then in the 2nd room you ought to go to the orb room first and make sure you start corrupting them, as that takes 5 days per orb.

EDIT: in short, don't skip a day. If you've already managed being at different willpower than the guide, you're fine.
