What fight do you use the energy drink in, and what does it change?
The fight that's going to happen in a couple days when the new update drops. The MC drinks it shortly before the cliffhanger at the end of the update. So we don't know what it would change. My guess is that there won't be anything inherent to the energy drink itself, but that the +30 Power will let you pass a Power check you probably wouldn't have the Power to pass otherwise.

it's like a kid that just got back from school, then mom force the kid to take shower and give a lot of baby powder to their face and let them play with the kid's neighbor until before dark :ROFLMAO:
It was an unique style that also fit into the game's darker themes

Well, that is the question. Shopkeep says it will give a short-lived doubling of your power, but +30 power isn't double. I'm assuming that the +30 is a statistical representation of a narrative effect. It may or may not be permanent. That said, taking the energy drink only locks you out of one purchase (for Dark479: Shopkeep lets you buy one thing each time you visit him, which you can do a finite number of times, six as of latest update, and between him updating his inventory later on sells seven things total). And you drink it towards the end of an arc, so we'll probably get another opportunity to buy from him between when any power boost wears off and when we need to do more fighting. So it's probably safe to prioritize it.

EDIT:

Ten million. And yeah, even when you have enough money for the stone mask, Shopkeep just goes "oh, I wasn't selling it, I just wanted to see if you wanted it".
Man this game is so insanely strict with power and training that you have to be almost perfect to avoid dead ends and get optimal outcomes...if I can get through current content without the energy drink then great, but I'll probably want to buy one after the trigger event to have in pocket for potential future content...we're still just evolution 3s...practically defenseless children vs 5s. And I would never take the 10 million money over the 30 power points because the money won't help us survive the vicious fights ahead...at best the 30 points will be a cushion that allows for some margin of error and at worst they'll be mandatory to avoid some upcoming dead end/s. And if those 30 points end up being critical later dying with millions of dollars in cash won't provide much comfort.

to be honest there are ways for the mc to remain humane while getting as strong as possible, it all starts when the mc is given the choice during Kenny's fight (iirc): choose to want to kill him or something, and then you will be able to gain more corruption and power while remaining a skill focused mc (power/corruption focused mc HAVE to kill everyone in order to pass specific power check and i don't really like killing friends/acquaintances)

Most of what you said is wrong, the choice for maximum power or skill is when you fight Michael, devouring kenny if you have enough power only gives you corruption and no check exists in the game that requires to have killed every opponent and maximum power.

Might be able to survive in space once we reach level 4 but at this point we'll probably just freeze to death, deep sea should be possible tho. Doubt the mc can't cook up some new fish form to do that now.

Hey, I was replying some scenes and I caught something very interesting regarding the MC on his first evolution regarding The Eye.


While we explore our Truth, if we choose "Do Not", Eisheth tries to pry on our crimes, and the MC replies this while talking about Klaus:


(...)

Eisheth: Fine, Klaus Aldain, was that you?

MC: No.

Eisheth: ...That was a quick answer. Are you sure?

MC: Certain. Was talking to god when he got killed.

Eisheth:...Smells truth. Fine.


I could be mistaken, but I never saw anyone point this out while discussing the topic of The Eye. Do you think this refers to the evolution trance itself rather than the eye? and if so, how would MC drop this massive shell here but never comment it in any other scene outside an evolution trance? (I'm not counting the choice "For the glory of God" since that happened during the same trance and I didn't link it with The Eye originally).

I have doubts about reproduction and the fact that everyone says with such certainty that superhumans are sterile, the MC certainly has something that makes him an exception, although he has so far not impregnated a human, he certainly has something that makes him capable of reproducing with monsters, there is also Syla who was one of the most powerful superhumans and managed to have a son, does anyone have any interesting theories on this subject?

The most important fact about this is that Bramon Xanthe never discovered that a superhuman managed to have a child, as happened in the case of syla or the fact that MC can impregnate a monster, maybe this is something only superhumans of the 3rd and 4th apostle bloodline can do?

The MC is actually speaking to the 4th Apostle when Klaus dies, not the Eye. So the "I was talking to God" thing is probably just the MC referring to what he's recently learned about the Apostles calling themselves pieces of God.

Chose to Consume him... you Have to kill him cause he's rampaging. but absorbing his mind into yours is optional which adds to your corruption.

I think it is purposely a point in the narration that the people at H.E.R.O. are kind of closed minded to the whole wonder and fantasy of the monster world and try to view it Purely as a scientific resource to be exploited. Can't think of the exact word for it, but due to their limited world view they see monsters only as an external invading force and refuse to accept they could be anything godly ... which is why they have never had any complete information because none of them had any respect for any monster to see it as an equal intellect worth actually conversing with. Which is why a lot of things about the monster world are unknown to them which are known to S.I.N. ... Who unlike them freely join forces with monsters. While H.E.R.O. suggests its members sleep with those stupid helmets on to block any subconscious connection to ones monster side. Ella's whole mission seems to have come from listening to the monster voices in her head o_O which isn't really the right way to go either.
Probably why the MC gets to be going through a unique experience throughout his journey where he is friends with humans while also baby daddy to multiple monsters. He has spoken with lowly minyaks and slime girls but also has talked to big bads like Valravn and Aglaecif. Now because of Syla he has a deep connection and understanding with all the primal monster divines that Ella probably never had. Which is why it seems like when she injected herself for that 5th evolution she seems to realize for a moment she isn't the chosen monster messiah or whatever.

I think it has something to do with saving a certain character from her head exploding (its in the walkthrough) tho can't remember
I looked through the guide and I cannot find that mentioned as being important for anything anywhere. In terms of saving a character, there is only one major one that needs saving but as far as I can tell that requires 100 power and 28 skill...if that choice I asked about matters for anything there it is not mentioned in the guide as far as I can tell.
