Boy gives Shining Sword if Qum Points 12+ Carina's Quest: Former Inquisitors Healing People Traumatized by the Incubus War. Meet Carina by the former slavers' warehouse in the Stineford Slums to start the quest Gawnfall Outcome: Succubi Accepted: Carina Points +2 Church Diverges: Carina Points +0 (unless you acquired Inquisition Influence in the Final Issues, in which case Carina Points +3) New Religion: Carina Points +1 Succubi Rejected: Carina Points +0 Speak to Annah to ask permission (Sparkle outside entrance to Stineford Cathedral). Altina, if present, will suggest visiting High Priestess Bertricia in the Elven Kingdoms. Speak to Ivala in HQ Basement 1 to make a plan for "miracles". Go to Ardford Merchant's Guild to procure magic crystals from the refiner. (Requires access to Ardford and investment in the Crystal Refiner.) Go to Yhilin Cathedral and talk to the sparkly to search for theological justification. Carina Points +1 if Kara Recruited, Carina Points +1 if Vhala RP >= 20. (Optional) Visit High Priestess Bertricia. +2 Carina Points if Bertricia Synod Score 7+ OR if Bertricia Synod Score 4+ AND the quest to introduce Bertricia to an Ivalan Succubus was completed, +1 Carina Points if Bertricia Synod Score 4+ OR the quest to introduce Bertricia to an Ivalan Succubus was completed (but not both). Enter Tower from the Abandoned Warehouse in Stineford, engage in three fights to clear the Tower nearby of nasties (or whatever). After winning fights, threesome with Carina & Ivala. Carina Points +1 if Carina >= 99, Carina Points +1 if Ivala >= 80. Gain 1 Pure Divinity. Enemies: Psionic Lash: Vulnerable to Corrupted and Deathblow, Immune to Sexbind and Dominated, Weakness to Ice 125%. Cursed Wing: Can inflict "Unholy Curse" status, which paralyzes party members. Vulnerable to Poison status, immune to all others but Deathblow. Weaknesses to Anti-Sex 125%, Thunder 125% and Poison 125%. 50% chance to evade critical hit. Lustful Grigori: (Presumably not Ben Affleck.) Uses "Humble", which strips target of 95% of hp. Can inflict status "Sexual Balance" which locks Sex menus and inflicts 5% HP and MP reduction per turn, and cuts all stats by 50%. Immune to ALL statuses. Weaknesses to Sex 200%, Anti-Sex 150%, Ice 125%. 50% chance to evade critical hit. Corpulent Spirit: Uses "Reclaim" on turn 5 and every 3rd turn thereafter, which kills one target. Immune to ALL statuses. Weaknesses to Earth 150%, Sex 125%, Fire 125%. 50% chance to evade critical hit. Tactics: Party: Simon, Riala, Altina, Carina. (You can make an argument for Vhala in preference to Altina, especially for the 3rd fight.) Equip accessories that grant high LUK or MAG. (A Greater Magic Necklace for Riala really helps.) Prioritize killing the Cursed Wing and Lustful Grigori, in that order. The Corpulent Spirit's autokill attack probably can't take out Simon or Carina while the other is down. Have Riala use Bolt of Lust on the Cursed Wing and Sexual Lance on the Lustful Grigori. Have Altina Poison the Cursed Wing and Cast Ice or Ice Storm on the Lustful Grigori. Carina casts Shield of Purity to buff the party, Cleanse/Cleansing Aura to clear Unholy Curse, Calm/Calming Aura to clear Sexual Balance, and just spam heal/revive otherwise. Simon can Support Allies or use Incubus/Precise Strike as needed, although the critical hit evasion on the 3 major enemies makes attacking physically risky. Use Ice Storms/Storms of Lust to clear out the Psionic Lashes after the main foes are down in the first two fights. Consider using Corrupt on one Psionic Lash at the end of these fights to give Riala a change to recharge SP via Aura Masturbation. Give Carina ProN to develop the warehouse. Carina Points 9+: 10,000 ProN, 5+: 100,000 ProN, 4-: 250,000 ProN Once all of the above are complete, interact with the sparkle to summon Annah and complete the quest. Carina Points 8+: Ivalan Acceptance +1, Arclent Acceptance +5, Carina +5, Sarai +6, Entity Cohesion +2, Ivala +3, Mithyn +4, Ginasta +3, Tertia +1, Vhala +1. Carina Points 4+: Arclent Acceptance +3, Carina +5, Sarai +4, Entity Cohesion +1, Ivala +5, Mithyn +3, Ginasta +2. Carina Points 3-: Ivalan Acceptance -1, Arclent Acceptance +2, Carina +10, Sarai +2, Ivala +10, Mithyn +2. Visit Wendis in Ivala's Pillar to forge Carina's Saint's Armor with the Pure Divinity (you can withhold it to create something else later): Saints' Armor: +70 DEF, +100 MAG, +70 MDF, LUK +100, MaxHP +1000, MaxMP +100, 50% resistance to MAG Debuff, 50% resistance to Stun and Silence, 75% resistance to Profound Silence. The Hall of Purity can now be visited, but the NPCs there are just for flavor. Tim the Enchanter's Accessory Modification Shop: Amulet of Alchemy II: +10 ATK, +10 DEF, +15 MAG, +10 MDF, +10 AGI, +15 LUK, 75% increase in effects of potions.

(Original Twisted Charm: +10 MDF, 50% Sexual damage resistance, 25% resistance Lust Mad and Lust Stun, 50% resistance Lust Death, Charmed) Renthnor Wilds: Can't really do much except buy weird weapons, armor and items. Wilds Commissary Sells: Narrow Sword: +80 ATK -25 MAG -10 AGI Fragile Staff: -25 ATK, +100 MAG, -10 AGI, 75% resistance to all elemental damage, deals Holy damage. Lubed Whip: -25 ATK, +100 MAG, -10 AGI Fungal Shield: +30 DEF, +30 MDF, +25 AGI, +200 LUK Mana Shears: +30 DEF, +30 MDF, +25 AGI, +200 LUK Exotica Erotica: +30 DEF, +30 MDF, +25 AGI, +200 LUK Wilds Armor: -10 ATK, +60 DEF, +100 MAG, +60 MDF, +25 AGI, +200 LUK Wilds Robes: +100 ATK, +60 DEF, -10 MAG, +60 MDF, +25 AGI, +200 LUK Wilds Dress: +60 DEF, +60 MDF, +25 AGI, +200 LUK (One might infer from this that Renthnor Wilds monsters have loads of nasty status attacks that pins do nothing against.) Item seller's new items: Chilling Berry: +3000 HP, +200 MP, adds Sexbind status. Spiky Fruit: -500 HP, +300 MP, +50 SP. Erotic Radish: +3000 HP, -100 MP, +50 SP Philon Quest: Meet Lexande in Orgasmic palace throne room to unlock Philon access. Orcent Bar conversation available if you enter the bar two times. (Conversation revised for 0.61.1). Store sells: Fur Robes: +25 DEF, +25 MDF, 75% Ice resistance. The creatures I referred to as "Giant Miniature Wooly Guinea Pigs" on Patreon have now been named as "wolloths" as of 0.61.1. (Possibly indicating that Sierra REALLY didn't like "Giant Miniature Wooly Guinea Pigs".) Philon Tower Infiltration: Philon Periphery: Just go around the maze fighting enemies and vandalizing crystals. Exit to the bottom left where the path widens. Xestris will not recommend that you proceed unless you disable all 5 crystals. You Get +1 Xestris for doing so. Shining Sword found in chest behind Miniboss enemy group (red flame). The Anak's Sanctum: This is a simple multi-phase maze. Your objective is to get through to the Blue fire near the center. Navigate through to sparkle on a stone tablet near the upper left of the map and Xestris will act as a phase point between the outer and inner layers of the sanctum. Then go through one layer looking to touch as many small purple crystals as you can to open the large crystal pillar barriers, grabbing whatever chests you can. Then go to the other letter and repeat. Back and forth a couple times and you'll reach the tower node bosses in the inner layer. See below for thoughts on beating them. Note that there's a cool weapon for Uyae near the upper right corner of the outer layer behind one of the last barriers that you clear. Autumn Claw: +50 ATK, +50 MAG, +10 AGI, +10% to hit, +10% Critical. Enemies: Manawing: Reflects all magical attacks. Vulnerable to Corrupted, Blind. Immune to Poison and Deathblow. 50% resistance to Physical damage, no other elemental weaknesses. Hollow Courtier: Vulnerable to Corrupted, Silence. Immune to Deathblow. Weak to Fire, Sex and Poison. Immune to Deathblow. Unending Desire: Vulnerable to Dominate. Weak to Anti-Sex, Sex. Normal damage from Ice. Immune to Deathblow. Fleeting Glimmer: Immune to all status attacks, 100% evasion of physical attacks. Least resistant to Sex and Poison, followed by Fire, Ice and Earth. Wall of Flesh: Vulnerable to Stun and Poison status. Weak to Poison. Hardened Demon: Resists Deathblow, Charmed, and Lust related statuses. Immune to all other statuses. No elemental weaknesses or resistances. Endless Wall: Same resistances as Wall of Flesh. Endless Lust: Same resistances as Unending Desire except lower Anti-Sex weakness and Lust Death immunity instead of resistance, plus has a 100% Counter-attack rate. Endless Wing: Same resistances as Manawing except Lust Death immunity instead of resistance. Endless Courtesy: Same resistances as Hollow Courtier except immunity to Corrupted and Silence. Ethereal Glimmer: Can cast "Magical Inversion", which will give one fellow enemy the "Magical Shield" status for one turn, which is like Manawing's inherent magic reflection until it expires. Normal damage from Fire, resists all other magic elements. Immune to Dominated, Corrupted and Sexbind, resists all other statuses to varying degrees. Corporeal Glimmer: Can cast "Physical Inversion", which will give one fellow enemy the "Physical Shield" status for one turn, reflecting all physical damage back on the attacker until it expires. Vulnerable to Sex 200%, and Anti-Sex 125%. Immune to Dominated, Corrupted and Sexbind, resists all other statuses to varying degrees. Dull Flow: Can cast "Neutrality", which will give one party member the "Neutrality" state, which will reduce their ATK and MAG skills to 0 until it expires. Vulnerable to Sex, Ice and Poison 125% Immune to Silence, Dominated, Corrupted and Sexbind, resists all other statuses to varying degrees. Tower Nodes: Will alternate between both nodes having "Magical Shield" and "Physical Shield" from turn to turn. Plan your party and attacks accordingly. 50% Critical hit evasion. Immune to all statuses but Poison, which it resists, immune to ATK and MAG debuff, resists DEF, MDF and AGI debuff. White Tower Node: Weak to Sex 175%, Earth 125%, Normal damage from Thunder. Black Tower Node: Weak to Anti-Sex 150%, Ice 125%. A good party for the Tower Nodes might be Simon, Riala, Robin and Vhala, but you could sub Altina for Robin and Qum for Riala. Note that many of Vhala's physical attacks can't crit, but that her magic elemental attacks still count as physical. Once you beat the Tower Nodes you can enter Zelica's garden where you will have a sexy scene and receive 8 shards to distribute in the Hall of Mortality, Ivala, Tertia and Mithyn will have musings on Zelica if you chat with them at the base. Trivia: Dude and priestess at entrance to Stineford Mine have new dialogue dependent on how the mine was handled during the Return to Stineford, plus a succubus if the Mine was given to the succubi. As of 0.63.1, the above includes custom dialogue if the Doom King seized the mine. Variable 0325 "Hester" changed to "Ivala". Variable 0153 "Ivala" changed to "THE REAL IVALA". Carina will comment on her quest if spoken to in the HQ Courtyard after the Incubus War post 0.63.1. In 0.63.1, the dialogue on giving Yarra or Riala a shard will be slightly different if the Philon quest is complete. If you cheat and clip through the map to reach blue fire at the center of the Anak's Sanctum outer layer (i.e. without fighting the tower node bosses), SL will taunt you. EDITED with Carina and Philon quest contents for 0.63.0. EDITED yet again with 0.63.1 info. EDITED with 0.63.3 info

Edited with enemy and item info.

Edited to include Enchanter's enhancements.

@"DukeLeto7"#p2568 There goes my Robin-spam-lances strategy.

Content 0.61., 0.63.

DukeLeto7

Edited to note very important trait of Manawing.

Battlewarrior

DukeLeto7 There goes my Robin-spam-lances strategy.

DukeLeto7

Battlewarrior I think the most sensible party for the dungeon might be Simon + Aka + Riala + Altina

Battlewarrior

DukeLeto7 I don't have early patreon access, so I'm still waiting for the public release. Kind of make me wonder though: if one harem quest is released every update, and everyone gets their own quest ... how many updates do we get before the final battle?

DukeLeto7

I don't want to speak for Sierra on the topic, but I think the current slow pace is partly due to the recent Once Ever After release, which would mean the quests per update will pick up again as the year goes on.

ForceofNature

There is also the whole... familial situation of hers. Which is absolutely understandable and fair, if that has contributed to the slowdown.
Remember kids! Mental health is important. Don't skip steps in the grieving process to get back to work, because you'll feel the effects of all non-processed trauma going forward.

DukeLeto7

Edited for 0.61.1.

Not a whole lot going on here.

The creatures I named "Giant Miniature Woolly Guinea Pigs" are in fact called "wolloths". SL's decision to clarify that certainly had nothing to do with my coinage.
The Orcent bar conversation got some edits.
The Ghenalese Soldier teacher candidate now requires that you actually DID research in Ghenalon during Wynn's Quest in order for him to appear.
Qum comments that the vacant site at the Outskirts is not suitable for her school.
The Endless Lust miniboss now has a "Counterattack Rate" of 100%. ~~Someone else can figure out if that applies when it's dominated.~~

Also, note for @Fulminato the +2 New Givini score given by the best Wynn's Quest outcome in the Hall of Mental Strength gives +2 Tak'Kan instead as of 0.61.1.

QiQi

DukeLeto7 Qum Points 15+

DukeLeto7 Qum +69

I wonder why 69, it's such a big gap compared to 14-12 and 11-8. I cannot fathom what SL was thinking. Really.

As usual, thank you for your hard work!

DukeLeto7 One might infer from this that Renthnor Wilds monsters have loads of nasty status attacks that pins do nothing against

God have mercy on our souls;

SeriousBlueJewel

QiQi I wonder why 69, it's such a big gap compared to 14-12 and 11-8. I cannot fathom what SL was thinking. Really.

More than likely you already have a maxed out Qum or the 10 points you gain would fix it. so you don't need more points. Basically it is a little joke

Battlewarrior

QiQi God have mercy on our souls;

SL has mercy upon Simon and friends. But it's probably the good old toxin or nothingness, which while are a pain in the rear aren't unmanagable.

DukeLeto7

QiQi FYI, this was the exchange I had on Patreon with Sierra on the +69 RP:

DL7: The maximum Qum RP for completing the quest is +69. It's nice that you've helped Elon Musk land on his feet after the Twitter fiasco by outsourcing code writing to him.

SL: I'll have you know that number was an extremely serious decision based on critical game balance.

The_Scoutman

Unless I'm misunderstanding something and/or sparing the LoB's lamias is something that you don't do in an optimized playthrough (haven't charted the Incubus War yet), do you just choose as teachers the Orc, the Zirantian Tradionalist, and the Tatseni Tutor for the complimentary country scores?

Also I sure hope we can name the school "The Qum Dum'pe Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too."

Grim8P

The_Scoutman

Also I sure hope we can name the school "The Qum Dum'pe Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too."

I'll sign a petition for this.

I created a section on the wiki for Qum's Request based on this forum post. Thanks for your hard work!

I haven't touched anything else in this update yet so I haven't looked at anything else. Others are welcome to contribute if they wish.

Cazador

DukeLeto7 Access exit to "half-assed" waiting room at bottom left after disabling 5 crystals.

It seems like this isn't a hard requirement anymore.

DukeLeto7

Cazador It might not ever have been. I was looking more carefully at Qum's quest than the Philon dungeon.

Cazador

DukeLeto7 Well, there's an "if" statement when leaving the dungeon that checks for it, but both branches are the same atm.

DukeLeto7

Cazador Give me SOME credit, man. I verified that before replying to you. 🙂

Battlewarrior

I'm regretting buying the savant's cloak for Carina now. The wilds armor is much better and cheaper.

DukeLeto7

So I've added a walkthrough for the Carina quest, but can't do more tonight.

Will add a guide for the Philon content and figure out if I can retitle this thread tomorrow.
