It lets an otherwise Human MC use magic without really using magic…if that makes any sense…
Basicalltly the source of the magic is runes, potions, herbs, etc, instead of the MC themseleves

How did you achieve this feat?
That Monsters and Rogues score! How???
I have another guide here for everyone. Again if anything is wrong or I missed something feel free to tell me.
@daydreamsincolor There is no choice that sets the variable platonic to true if the player’s feelings toward the new world is “yeahno” for Yakov unlike the other 3 feelings in Ch 5.

Yakov and Seraphina’s emotion stat starts at 25 and must be >=40 in Ch 11 to prevent breaking up or to ask them out to the Nymph Ball.

Stats wise I concentrated on intelligence, ritual magic & potions and on willpower. I went to the library after the scene where Astrid gets attacked by Briseis and I picked the studying options whenever there was a chance to do that (except that one time where my options where to study or talk to Sera) and raised my hand whenever teachers asked something (was quite the teachers pet I guess xD). I choosed the assistant at health center job, I think that gives some ritual magics & potions points tho I’m not really sure about this. At the first monsters and rogues exam in the forest I relied on the others when the goblins attacked then when the manticore attacked I used first the starburst bombs (or whatever it’s called, sorry) then the shield, that and Thalia being there too was enough to finish it before the others arrived. At the second part of monsters and rogues exam I just went with the ritual magic related option.
Hope this helps? Idk if this works for others than magicians, I think it’s a big help there that there are less stats we need to concentrate on.
So if we pick cunning as one focus, what other stats should each class focus on? That’s giving me trouble.
Great guide, thanks
Just a note, both Sera and Yakov’s emotion stats start at 25. We need to get it to >= 40 (a 15 point increase) to remain in a relationship with them or to start one in Ch. 11. Perhaps you could add this to your post @Djin? For those who don’t code surf.
It does. I have did the same thing independently during my magician run. I think the hex shop job has the same effect, tho That was back when it was an open wip.
I finally own the game. I have done 2 runs and am incredibly satisfied with my human parents ripping castella a new one.
Time for my simpleton nephalim run.
That scene makes it kinda hard to hate them, right? xD Even tho I wanted my MC to hate them for neglecting her in the past.
I’d suggest adding this guide to the OP or something since this seems like a frequently asked question.
Along with this.
I would just like to point out because it’s something easily missable, that the MC can buy a wish candle in chapter 6 that can increase Willpower, Cunning, Fighting or Intellect by 5 for 500$. Other than that there’s not that many uses for money.
It does.
Thanks I had forgotten about that.
Do have any suggestions for a good lightning elemental build?
Hm I just realized, I am getting to soft for these games, I found me romancing Leon, just because I felt bad to refuse his offer of an date. I think I might care to much for fictional characters feelings^^
I am quite happy I did, because the romance was a really nice one. I liked it very much, although I never thought that it would be the case. And after on the next playthrough I am so happy, that in this wonderful game, someone you do not want to date, does not hate you right after you declined. This is such a nice thing. It is tempting to test all the RO ( the male ones for me), I am even thinking about romancing Thalia in one playthrough, she is really cool. I really love the game.
Haha, same. If anyone of the male ROs had asked me put before Leon I’d say yes. But I’m so glad that it was Leon I said yes to, because his romance route warms my heart so much
I know. He’s an amazing and sweet RO. Even if he covers his soft side with ego confidence
You’re gonna have a blast with Kol’s route.
I agree. Out of the female ROs she is my favorite one. And her angst level is really low in the 1st book, so we won’t have to worry about getting our hearts broken
Kol was my first RO, but I could not save him, I´m still devastated. I have not had the guts to try again^^
I managed to save him. There’s a guide on how to save him in the main post. Stats plays a really big role in the game, so it’s difficult to unlock beneficial options.
Yes, about that. My mc was wondering if the university couldn’t build an extension to the dorm room to house Leon’s enormous ego (oh, and all of Leon’s stuff, which is also a lot).
As for the romance from what I remember of the (open) beta it’s quite sweet, but he’s not actually all that romantically compatible with either of my mc’s.
