Grimoire gameplay and hints thread

Hmm, in my post-1.2.0.7 save, I have seen 0 Perk Keys. I guess I will just have to live without those weapons.

Shouldn't use them regardless, to be honest. The impact of finding something cool is just sacrificed for some stupid random drop.
Solving the knight's quest, having him join my party, taking him to the grave with the sword and claiming it for myself was pretty neat.
Opening a chest with a key that has 1% chance of dropping from a ?BUG? would be pretty lame.

Sold the perk keys, as well as the common gate keys. They were taking too much space in the inventory. Now in 1.2.0.5 they don't spawn anymore, lol.

Looking for advice on Samhain Underground:

Spoiler

Where's the key to open the entrance gate ? Also, I have a key of the Saints, what does that open ?

 

[biggestboss]

Fair points. The game already easy enough in my current save with two Musical Instrument wielders, one of which is dual wielding Sleep Harp and Shrill Sound whistle for maximum output. I need another whistle to drop for my second one.

How many points do you need in Berserk for it to be useful? I just used it for the first time with 19 Berserk points and all that happened was my Berserker attacked my own characters.

 

[biggestboss]

Key of Saints opens the door in the Tomb of St. George, if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, the second one. The first door must be picked, I think.

 

[biggestboss]

Hmm, not sure if this is the intended behavior:

After Berserking and healing my Berserker of Insanity, on my next attack with her, she still Berserk attacked but then became Paralyzed. After the Paralysis was healed, she now Berserk attacks on every combat and isn't insane so now it seems that she is basically the strongest thing in the game at the moment.

Question.

If HP pool is linked to CON, which stat is related to Magic?

 

[biggestboss]

I think I read that it's one of the stats that starts with F, like FEL or something.

So you can solve that quest without converting your whole party to Catechism. Pretty cool.

DEV no?

So, I don't know if people know this, but you can bump the door with your two strongest char to open it. I hardly do lock-picking on them now. Just keep moving to hit the door until a new window open to select two chars to bump it.

Crap, I sold the Black Lich's staff without thinking about it. Is there any way to get the commendation from Krone if you don't have it?

There's a guy selling it in Kublai Axis, not cheap though

It's a known bug, as long as you don't change his attack, he will be doing the previous command, which was hitting on Berserk mode.

Talk with smithers about the crest, the rest is direct from this.

Well... I guess I can just sell my Blaster Glove and ammo from the Sanctuary since I've literally never used them and they sell for 39800 + ~200000 gold.

Spoiler

What's the use of the seahorse ring

Spoiler

People in Mantor garrison want to know what happened to their expedition

Spoiler

and jeweled/cosmic eggs? The latter doesn't fit into the machine. Don't tell me I need to go all the way to the dwarf crushing machine and destroy them...

Spoiler

that's exactly what you have to do crush that cosmic egg!

Spoiler

then combine them

Spoiler

then it will fit into the machine

>There's also a way to Force the door, where you select two dudes to push, and it seems to expend vitality.

Never noticed it, what do you have to click for that?

Thanks all. I don't know what I clicked for Force, I was left clicking to get past the trap damage then up came the force menu when I failed a lockpick. I thought I was just clicking on the door / padlock? Hrm. Maybe it would be Activate (Space).

>Do we know yet some of the more generic conversation words? I could never get much out of Mordecai, except for stuff like "Ask Captain Krone about Krone." Do we know how to ask if they have any jobs for us?

Generic words bring generic responses. You have to track what they say of themselves and their jobs, then try some of the words they say. Not everything is underlined. In the end, Mindread is still your best bet.

>After exploring most of Briarpatch woods and some of Crowl, dudes are still level 1 and frontliner fighters can go from full health to death at the very start of Turn 1 if they're unlucky. What should I be aiming for to increase their survivability ASAP?

Level 2, duh. You missed Aquavia?

Yeah, I got a nice conversation from the acolyte/librarian in Crowl, so when it works out it's great.

Aquavia I found but didn't venture into, I thought I'd go to a village first. How wrong I was...

Damn it, my Rosy is pretrified, just a little bit but enough to make her useless. How can I cure her ? Cure disease, shrine of the raptor or consumables do not work. Is there a spell I can get somewhere to cure her, or do I need to level up ?

The guy with the missing sister at inn can make a potion of de-petrify if you bring him 3 ingredients. You have to ask him though about the potion. Found the keyword accidentaly with mindread.

You also get some hints on what to ask them. Usually during their introduction or after exiting an interaction with them.

Re. forcing doors: Seemed like walking into them a couple of times did it for me there.

 

[Lady_Error]

B a l a n c e .
I'm going to use that holy knight to access that sword in the backer mausoleum and nothing can stop me!

Spoiler

Do you have to progress to a certain point and find the item he is looking for to recruit him? Or does it work as soon as you meet him?

 

[Lord Andre]

BTW, what is up with the "Bipenis" axe ? Is it a codex reference from Cleve regarding:



I always find it funny to see the log say "Character swings Bipenis" and the 'thoing' sound of a hit playing at the same time... :D

If you started at the Briarpatch Woods, you may be able to heal petrified in the Shrine downstairs in that blinking field.
