Okay... I think that I know how to do it... I've played v0.91 from the beginning. The fact that the guide is made for v0.80 could be the reason why I can't get into chapter 8 with v0.91. There must be something different to be done in v0.91 to achieve that, or it's simply a buggy version, which makes sense, because I've checked my achievements with RPGM Save Editor, and some of the events I've done had a value of zero (for example, the sexual education of the children in the Hospital). Other thing that could be affecting is the machine translator I'm using (which is posted few pages back in this thread), but really, after thinking of what I've said firstly, I don't think it's related to get into chapter 8. So, what I'm going to do is get into chapter 7 with version 0.81, save before the final BOSS battle, and then see if I can go through and reach chapter 8. Don't know if I'm going to use the machine translator this time, in order to keep the version the most clean possible (and I know the story far well cause I've "completed" the game several times, so I don't need it so much). Probably I'm doing this this afternoon, so I might tell you by this night if things are working.Actually i got into chapter 8 by following the guide of ver 0.80, i started with ver 0.81 and then downloaded the ver 0.91 after i saved it before last battle in chapter 7, then deleted the save files in ver 0.91 and copied-pasted my saves from previous ver. into the newest, replayed the final battle and it allowed me into chapter 8 but stopped playing cuz it was all in chinese.
i deleted my saves by mistake,then i decided to wait for translation cuz after chapter 3 or 4 most of main events were in chinese also reaching chapter 8 from beginneng is too much of time consuming
u seem to have spent more time than me in this, also i didnt get who's nayala as i said the main event where all in chinese so i dont know what was happening but it was playable ,and did the tomb 9th boss dragon-lady give u the demon king stone also did u choose to return to the elf while u were fighting Nero as the blonde paladin or u chose to continue the fight in chapter 6 ?
i can only think of those tho, i dont know why it didnt work for u, i also never lost a battle or let any of my party members get knocked out during any battle even vs the ice lady who was for some reason insanely powerful compared to other bosses but i dont think that's related.
Edit ; maybe if nayala is the tomb boss and u lost against her once before defeatin her, it got buggy n the game considered it as defeat ? so npc keeps asking u to fight her again ?
(I'm using a machine translator that's pretty decent) that pissed me off , dude i had to go through all that hell of chinese scribblings ( it's a joke- with all respect for chinese ppl)
BTW, could you please tell me what you used to do at the free roam stages? I mean, details like doing all the red-light disctrict quests as far as you could, sleeping with blue-beard captaing... that stuff. Whatever you remember is usefull.
